LOSS???LOOOOOSSSSSSSS????
L IS FOR THE WAY ILAUGH OUT LOUD
>>150902391>Disney is backback for what?
>>150902391>white couplecap, this is AI
>>150902391>pregnant woman in the picture>a Story of LossOh no!
>>150902391No it's not.
>>150902962Yep, it’s exactly what you think.
>>150902474| |I|| |_
https://variety.com/2025/artisans/news/disney-animated-short-versa-malcon-pierce-1236554756/>The animated short, playing at the Animation Is Film Festival this weekend, follows a young couple looking to start a family who experience a gamut of emotions—from grief and loss to ultimate joy—as they embark on an ethereal, abstract and imaginative cosmic dance of life.>During the making of “Moana,” Pierce and his wife Keely lost their infant son, Cooper. In grieving their loss, Pierce was inspired to tell their story. Sounds more interesting than any other Disney content that I've seen in a while. Probably difficult to watch without getting emotional, though
>>150902391somebody's going to die in this
>>150902391Is this going to be in front of Zootopia 2?
>>150902391>what if abortions had feelings.
>>150902391I miss when Disney/Pixar shorts were just silly shit before a feature. Everything's gotta be a fucking downer or therapy piece now.
if nothing else, it'll be interesting to see how Disney is going to merchandise it
>>150903786>Pierce was inspired to tell their story.Disney animators really can’t help themselves with their self-inserts.
>>150904355>Inspiration for The Incredibles came from Brad Bird's personal grievances at various points in his life>Inspiration for Finding Nemo came from Andrew Stanton's concerns on being too overprotective over his kid>Inspiration for X media comes from Y creator's experiencesLiterally any story draws upon inspiration from the writer's personal experiences, whether direct or not, hence the phrase, "write what you know", sometimes it's more obvious and sometimes it's cleverly disguisedIf you ever made anything remotely creative and meaningful in your life, you'd know that, but clearly not since it seems like everything is a "self-insert" to you
>>150904171It was flexing cgi skills back then now it's flexing... something else
>>150904266It's a short. I've never seen old man chess merchandise ever
>>150902391He has the face of the guy from this image.
>>150904671Sup, Pierce.
>>150904792Perceivable improvements in CGI nowadays has plateaued greatly, so there's not much of a pointRegardless, in the early days of Pixar, it was about being showing how CGI could tell funny stories with interesting character acting like traditional animation (Andre & Wally B., Luxo Jr., Knick Knack), but now that they don't need to make it a tech demo, they can focus all in on telling meaningful stories, which was their goal in the first place
>>150904950Not an argument
>>150902391are they really making an abortion musical? what the FUCK?
>>150905374I think the word "loss" implies it was a miscarrisge.
>>150905458>miscarrisgeMore than likely it was a stillbirth since the lady looks almost due. Pretty fucked up.
>>150904671>>Inspiration for The Incredibles came from Brad Bird's personal grievances at various points in his lifeIncredibles was inspired by a bunch of superhero media though.
Just go away. Seriously.
>>150905755>stillbirthFuck, now that you mention it...
>>150903972I don't think so. Even if I'm not drawn in by this short, shit sucks man.
>>150902391Which side is going to make the first outrage?
>>150905861>At the time, I was struggling to get movies off the ground. I could always get on the runway, but I wouldn't get them cleared for takeoff. And it was very frustrating. And I felt like these wonderful, magical things that films are are often times grounded for the most dull and bureaucratic reasons.>If I dedicated the time necessary to make it in the film industry, would I be selling my family short? And if I was a really good dad, would I ever make it in the movies? And I think without being conscious of it, that anxiety filled the film...balancing meaningful work and family.https://movies.radiofree.com/interviews/theincre_brad_bird.shtmlIt's not mutually exclusive, there were both subconscious influences and more intentional ones.
>>150902391we've seen this oscar bait type of story 93796876567 times already
>>150902391Oh noooo!
>>150902391I thought it was just a bundle of cells? Why am I supposed to think this is emotionally devastating? Wait are unborn babies actually human beings worth caring about now?
>>150902391>>150902474>LOOOOOOOOOOOSSSS?!
>>150902474Is it loss?
>>150906366Anon, I think you need to lean to the other side for your fake outrage.
>>150904266Mickey mouse day after pillsSlip her a mickey, don't let her get picky
>>150903786>what if ancient greece but fun>what if fairytale but musical>what if jules verne with Mike Mignolia designs>what if treasure planet but sci fi>what if story of when my wife miscarried
>>150905755Yeah. The woman in the OP looks like she's on third trimester.I tried to find out what happened to the baby that inspired this short film. Here's what I found:https://www.instagram.com/p/BwqKigwhu2C/>Moana was an incredible project to be a part of and it was during this production that my life changed forever. At the start of working on the film, My wife and I lost our son Cooper on his birthday, and at the end of the film, we found out we were pregnant with our second child, Casper. Some of my lowest and highest moments of my life were experienced during the production of this film. If Cooper was lost "on his birthday", it sounds like something went wrong during the labor. Either stillbirth or a serious complication during/after the delivery.
>>150905755Maybe the babe would have been born healthy if the mother wasn't dancing around so much.
>>150907113>what if girl sells her soul to the devil for a man who wasn't worth it>what if girl with no parents is abused and exploited>what if girl's father dies leaving her with his resposibilities>what if my shitty dad left and i never got over it and then i find a new father figure who also disappoints me
>>150902391>more fucking therapy moviesJesus
>>150904171>When you fake a heart attack to beat yourself at chess.
>>150908025a guy can't be sad about his dead fucking kid? just admit you'd be bitter about literally anything they come out with these days.
>>150908047A guy can be sad about a lot of things… most of which don’t make for entertaining movies or shorts.
>>150908088those are all the most entertaining movies we wouldn't have john wick if he wasn't sad about his wife and dog
>>150904171Remember to thank women/feminine nature because of that. Yin/Yang concept exists for a reason.
>>150908378Shut up amerilard
>>150908021>>what if girl sells her soul to the devil for a man who wasn't worth itUsually it's the other way round.
I remember when these animators used metaphors and didn't explicitly show it. Read more old books I guess
>>150906280I'm sorry, but when someone makes a superhero movie that is the spitting image of a bunch of other extremely popular superhero stories that the creators were old enough to have consumed in their formative years it's a bit hard to believe this is anything more than Brad trying to be a bit more poetic when doing a press interview.
>>150908516Wrong
>>150908119John Wick doesn’t wallow in John being sad about his wife and dog for the whole movie, it uses it as a setup for another hour and a half of Keanu killing motherfuckers. Nobody wants to watch an hour and a half of Keanu sitting in a dark room drinking and crying about a puppy.
>>150902391I highly doubt most people are going to care about a miscarriage movie, seeing as most people don't want or like kids now and see pregnancy as the ultimate body horror. What a waste of resources.
>>150903786>During the making of “Moana,” Pierce and his wife Keely lost their infant son, Cooper. In grieving their loss, Pierce was inspired to tell their story.>>150904171>Everything's gotta be a fucking downer or therapy piece now.This has been a really big problem for years and Disney has needed to tell their leaders to step the fuck back and stop inserting their personal shit into the product like it's a therapy session.One of the big ones being the woman whose son came out as trans.Miscarriages are shit. You can't talk about them, mostly because they're deeply personal and even other women who HAVE been through it don't give a shit about you. You try again. If families (working at Disney) didn't have 0-1 children these days it wouldn't feel like the end of the world.And you don't want the primary source of a family GOING to the cinema having an emotional breakdown in front of your product and deciding not to come back, maybe even leave before the actual movie starts, and definitely not buy their children the merch.
where's the fun
>>150907437>production babies'Member when credits were about the people who made it so you could headhunt the talent for your own studio?'Member when there weren't 500 female roles and all names were pronounceable?
>>150902391WHERE IS THE LOSS, DISNEY?!
>>150908968>WHERE IS THE LOSS, DISNEY?!
>>150908962CGI ArtistKrunal PrthnakaJamil ShurbathajaBish KhshnabatuHurship BihgmoochowCalluman HushkunpnathubalaHuydid HuuradeemKrundeep PramuranthHameezon GhiftkhardsDeepak KurnplashankaPradeep StankanthasnshkDeepfried Streethshitakurray
>>150908936>MiscarriagesThat's the wrong word here. This film seems be about stillbirth or infant mortality. A miscarriage ends with vaginal bleeding that resembles a heavy period. A stillbirth means that the parents will have a tiny body to bury.
>>150902391It’s just another shitty CGI calarts style film with that shitty generic Disneyfied artstyle they’ve used since Tangled. Given their bad movie track record the past 8 years this is guaranteed to be shit.
>>150902391>Woah what if we take the only part of UP people remember >And make it it's own shortReally digging deep here guys.
more people than ever are choosing not to have kids. why would this be relevant or touching for anyone but gen x and older.
>>150902391>Disney is backNo one with half a brain actually believes this.
>>150906523Anon is speaking ironically to point out an implied moral stance at odds with modern pop secularism.
>>150902391There needs to be more pregnant women in cartoons
>>150908119john wick is not a pg cartoon
>>150907113It used to be stories were told about more abstract general things, like Up was about aging and grief, but now it's all "I WANNA TELL MY FUCKING STORY".
>>150904355>artist feels a need to express themselvesWow how fucking shocking
>>150910527It's one thing for someone to draw from his experiences to enrich his work. It's another thing for narcissistic twats with uninteresting lives using the projects they were hired on to masturbate their egos in front of you.
>>150910790You sound like a hater.
>>150903786I’ll be very impressed if they go full blown SIDS instead rehashing the opening scene of UP.
>>150909750>seasonally appropriate reaction pic editmade me smile, happy halloween jeffyfag!
>>150902787>swarthy, brown curly hait>white
>>150902391omg I'm in tears. this short is everything. Its so iconic
Sorry, kings, until it can VOTE it's not a human
>>150902559Back again
>>150910011Fetishists usually mean ready to burst looking third trimester pregnant women when they say this. But I want more first and second trimester women.
>>150912856She’s blue and she has body glitter freckles. She’s a ginger to me until proven otherwise.
>>150904005Soul did it first.
>>150908959They’re gonna have a rainbow baby by the end.
>>150902391Walts wife Lillian suffered at least 2 miscarriages before their daughter was born.It was enough of a problem that when they wanted another kid they decided to adopt.Notably Walt never so much a breathed a word about this to anybody outside the family.
>>150907437Kelton is the worst one.
>>150912575He doesn’t do it because he’s celebrating the season, it gets around people’s image filters. He finds annoying people to be thrilling. When you give an autist a second of attention, you motivate him for another week. Don’t do it.
>>150905374More like an abortion rejected Fantasia segment, it sounds like.
>>150914081I always wondered what spurred them into that adoption. I still don’t get why they didn’t opt for a son when they did.
>>1509140812 isn’t even that many. I think I read it’s not til 3 in a row that they diagnose you with tomb womb aka “at high risk.”
>>150908936>you don't want the primary source of a family GOING to the cinema having an emotional breakdown in front of your product and deciding not to come back, maybe even leave before the actual movie startsIsn’t it playing at a film festival?
>>150914348Yes, but anons who complain this much never take the time to read.
>>150909423Miscarriage isn’t even the clinical term for it. It is legit called a “spontaneous abortion” on the paperwork. Which is much more of a logistical headache if you live in a place where they decided to make voluntary abortions illegal but the lawmakers don’t know shit about medical terminology.
>>150914111Kelton sounds like one of those “they made my mom’s maiden name my first name” guys. He’s probably gonna start signing things with his first initial followed by his hopefully better middle name.I nominate Bodie for worst.
>>150904171Bao, or more specifically the academy ruined everythingall the pixar niggerfaggots want to make the next Bao now and become "real" pedowood bigshots
>>150904171>Everything's gotta be a fucking downer or therapy piece now.This isn't just Disney/Pixar's problem, most animated shorts (including student films) do this now
>>150902391>no 3d beanmouthgood, it's a step in the right directionand then they take two back with that subject
>>150914156He's right, thoughever
>>150902391is this suppose to be Ouranos and Gaia?
>>150917802No one eats any babies in this short if that’s what you’re asking. I hope.
>>150902391Violet Beauregarde?
>>150908962This has been a thing in credits for practically as long as movies have existed, you fucking dunce
>>150918769>first list of production babies for any movie was Toy Story in 1995
>Loss but Disney
