Bertie is legitimately now one of my favorite fictional characters, I adore the way they portrayed her and her anxiety
Y’all should watch Tuca and Bertie, especially if you love BoJack Horseman, wacky humor, and strong female leads, and don’t mind exposed bird boobs

Took me about a week and a half but it’s finally finished!
I actually matched up the Queen members roles with the roles of the Beatles! (Freddie and John/lead singers, Roger and Ringo/drummers, John and Paul/bassist, Paul was apparently the official bassist but the other members played bass too, and Brian and George/guitarists)
-
Still working on stylizing the Queen bois in my style (mainly Freddie) but I think they all came out pretty good (I rly like how I drew Brian and Deacy)

Redrawing the Queen Crest was actually a lot more fun than I realized
Queen songs represented by BoJack Horseman
We are the champions, my friend...
Did this for my Painting 2 class ✌️
During Walt’s time he just had the movies re released in theatres, exactly as they are
Heck they even did that a few years back but just showed them in 3-D
What’s wrong with the way we experienced these movies? I’m sure if kids today watched the original animated films they would enjoy them as much as we did
For people who dont understand why Disney is doing so many remakes its because every 10 years Walt Disney wanted new generations to see and experience all the movies that were created
He wanted them all to experience what we experienced in a new way
Well if you can’t recreate the iconic expressive character designs of the animated version, than don’t make it in live action!
A remake should improve, not downgrade, and the visuals are a downgrade, even though the original came out in 1994.
Can’t really help comparing it to the animated version when this remake is completely unnecessary and can’t live up to the gorgeous timeless animation of the original! Advanced CG doesn’t automatically make a movie good.
Lion King 2019 trailer dropped and Thanks I Hate It!
But in seriousness heres the problem of remaking an animated film like The Lion King in live action
In the original, the designs are very expressive and distinct, each character looks different/has different body language and facial features that display their character perfectly
Scar is sly and cunning, so his mane, body, movements, and expressions all match that perfectly. His animation during the line “Why if it isn’t my big brother….” comes to mind
Whereas Mufasa is respectable and powerful but wise, hence he’s always upright, has a powerful build and thicker mane, and can easily go from looking stern af to looking friendly and calm.
The stellar voice cast also played a part in this
In the live action trailer, There’s no emotion in the characters faces, all their expressions look the same to me, even when they’re in peril or emotional distress
Particularly at 1:00 when Scar tells Simba to leave, and Simba has a normal ass lion expression whereas in the original he was clearly crying and scared
Or I can’t even tell what they’re expressing because they look like normal ass animals. That’s boring!
A film like The Lion King does not work in live action, nor do most of the live action remakes Disney is churning out.
…and it’s probably gonna make like a billion dollars cause of course it will and “OMG That Movie was my childhood and Beyoncé is in it squeeeeee!” -_-

Ok so obviously Princess Carolyn’s design from the 90s was parodied after Jennifer Aniston's style and "Rachel" haircut from the early seasons of Friends
However, Princess Carolyn still had this haircut in 1993, at BoJack's Halloween party
And Friends didn’t premier until 1994
And Princess Carolyn started working at Vigor, an agency, in 1992 or 1993, and would have came into contact with many of the agent's celebrity clients, as she was a secretary/assistant
In conclusion, Princess Carolyn inspired Jennifer Aniston
Quick drawing of Little Princess Carolyn 💞💞💞😭

Ok but something that really struck out to me in Free Churro was Butterscotch telling young BoJack that after seeing “A Dolls House” (WHICH IS BASED OFF OF IBSEN BTW) Beatrice locked herself in the bedroom to LOUDLY SOB. After seeing in Season 4 how her father messed her up so much and permanently scarred her to not cry or show any kind of “womanly emotion”, that movie must have REALLY done something to her to actually make her not just cry but sob hysterically.
Teenage Princess Carolyn! 💞💞💞 (Oof sry didn’t know what to do for the background :/ )
