Cincinatti has the real Kentucky across the river. I wonder what that's like. (The reverse could be said as well, and I haven't been to Cincinatti but I'd like to go some day, partly because I saw the Kaufman movie Anomalisa which is set there, and I made a point to check out Schenectady from another Kaufman movie and I was glad I did.)
The same stopmotion animation studio that did the film Anomalisa did this episode!
I saw it and thought it was awful.
I wonder if there's a sort of imposter syndrome thing going on, not letting people say it's bad.
"I didn't get it, but I'm unclear on the backstory of the roman empire. I better keep my mouth shut or they will know I'm uneducated!"
In comparison some movies are sort of a mess that resolves into something in the end.
Charlie Kaufman movies are like that. I liked synecdoche ny (didn't like anomalisa)
Or even the plastic bag in american beauty.
Ok - most recent movie I would recommend spending your money on: Didi
10 years is a lot of time, and "worth saving" is a very low barrier.
I'd classify Kubo And The Two Strings, and Inside Out as must-watch films. Spiderman: Into The Spiderverse set new boundaries for what's possible with animation.
Moana, Zootopia, Big Hero 6, Wreck-it Ralph, The Incredibles 2 and Finding Dory are all pretty good films, and definitely tick all the boxes you listed.
I'm not even looking at Anomalisa, Isle of Dogs, and other such more adult-oriented animated films.
