KEEPIN' IT CRISPY™

saw the trailer for that new illumination movie "Not Alone" and i at first was like "aw cute! so glad they're moving away from mindless cartoon mascot shenanigans and leaning more into very grounded casual and less hectic stories about regular adults living regular everyday life with a bit of humor and sci-fi stuff sprinkled in... this might actually have potential!" and then i saw the fuckass gumdrop aliens and everything immediately went to shit

blue is like if a picmix gif made a wish to be human

something about Toy Story toys is so strange to me. versions of animated characters based on real world toys, turned back into toys that are slightly different than the actual toys. slinky dog with a rubber spiral instead of a classic metal slinky. the porcelain bo peep and cloth woody turned into jointed plastic action figures. when toy story 4 came out and i saw a $30 talking action figure of forky, a character made out of a spork and a pipe cleaner, i stood in the walmart toy aisle staring at it like cameron from ferris bueller's day off staring at that painting in the art museum
