Are there any people theorizing if the plot of Zootopia 3 will have Nick and Judy finally breaking the dystopian regime?

Why I feel a prologue of Ming giving Wu her scar before showing a slideshow of her and Jin on their wedding day, with an infant Mei, and teaching her to walk would have worked better for the movie's narrative

The film created a massive summer wave of interest in culinary animation, which naturally primed audiences for Cartoon Network's food-centric marketing campaign that fall. Both Ratatouille and Chowder used food as their core visual language, but they did so to achieve completely opposite storytelling goals: Pixar aimed for sensory realism to ground an emotional story, while Cartoon Network used food as a vehicle for psychedelic surrealism and meta-comedy.

With Rat Race in my opinion being one of the funniest movies of all time, how many between character moments in The Ridonculous Race are similar to the ones in Rat Race, like hijacking a rocket-powered car or a bus?

• In June 2008, Pixar released WALL-E, warning us about corporate-managed survival. Just 14 months later, in September 2009, Japan’s Tezuka Productions released a movie that told the exact same story—not with robots in space, but with animals in a synthetic jungle.
• While the internet continues to argue over The Lion King and Kimba, they missed a much deeper, more profound parallel. Released just a year apart, WALL-E and Jungle Emperor Leo (2009) are thematic twins—twin warnings about what happens when humanity replaces the real world with corporate-controlled, simulated safety. Both films treat the environmental collapse not just as a tragedy, but as a corporate opportunity.
• Show how BnL turns a trashed Earth into a luxury cruise, making humans entirely dependent on automated chairs and holographic screens.
• Show how Eternal Earth positions itself as the "savior" of nature by constructing a digital, climate-controlled dome, turning living animals into assets and a commodity.
• The status quo in both corporate societies is shattered when two completely different worlds learn to communicate.
  • WALL-E (an obsolete, rusty machine) and EVE (a high-tech corporate probe) bridge their language barrier through small gestures to protect a single, fragile green sprout.
  • Kenichi (the son of the CEO of Eternal Earth) uses his rare gift to understand animal speech to connect with Leo (a young white lion mocked as a coward).
• Both duos discover a massive corporate lie. The Axiom's autopilot hides that Earth is habitable; Eternal Earth hides a virus breakout and plans the total eradication of the animals to protect its corporate image.
• Captain McCrea’s "I want to live!" vs. Leo’s "Let's go to OUR jungle."
• Both films conclude on the exact same philosophical note. True freedom means rejecting a sterile, automated cage. The humans on Earth must learn to farm in the dirt, and the animals must leave the safety of the dome for an unpredictable wild. In a digital world, both films remind us that the future can only change when we step back into reality.

Both Gumball and Total Drama Reddits have already started meming the Backrooms.

Extreme thirst

The short opens with Mickey straight up lying to Minnie about already having anniversary plans! That’s something that’s quite out of character for him, and a trait that you’d expect from a more abrasive animated character. I’d say that my only criticism against this short, would be that Mickey doesn’t get to admit that he never planned to take Minnie to Hawaii, and explain that it was all a big misunderstanding. This could have perhaps taught kids about telling the truth. He sort of gets away with pulling off his lie, and that does kind of rub me the wrong way.

Has Greg Cipes listened to his previous portrayal? If so, what does he think?

Who else thinks that avalanches and cave-ins from screaming causing trouble for the contestants is hilarious?

• In "Slap Slap Revolution", the teams have to sing a song in an avalanche-sensitive area in Austria. They pull through without triggering anything until Tyler shouts out in happiness because Lindsay finally recognizes him as her boyfriend.
• In "A Mine Is A Terrible Thing To Waste", Lightning causes a minor cave-in that buries his team when he lets out an enthusiastic "SHA-BAM!!" upon making it inside the mine first.

A Warriors animated series on Jetix alongside Silverwing would have been perfect. They could have animated Greystripe and Millie in the manga style!
