"Problem Child" by Eli Cugini

Essay on the political subtext of recent Pixar films.

Building a new Flash by Bill

What it says on the tin - a Newsground oldie working on developing a successor to Flash.

I've been working on a big post. Nothing "serious" - just indulging the way my media-related interests and my special interests in color-related topics intersect to form a fascination with color motifs in character design and fiction. The problem lies in gathering images and figuring out how to best display them.

I'm trying to crop this image with just css so that just the four color-framed characters are visible.

We kinda fell off the Pixar wagon around the time of Inside Out, and that essay you linked was interesting... and also sad. The only movie we have with a child protagonist these days is Return to Oz, which is all about a young girl escaping a mental institution her Aunt Em sent her to... and it ends with her aunt saying that she was wrong to do that, never doing it again, and Dorothy's Oz world being reaffirmed as true and real. And she gets to have scary adventures and overthrow a villainous princess AND king! (Evil princesses are pretty rare, aren't they...)

Then again, I guess that movie was considered "too creepy and weird" even then, back in the eighties...
