DOG MAN (2025): The Family-Friendlies Are Cinema, Too!

Have you ever felt that family-friendly movies are underrated? I've noticed how some people in the film community take a hard look at them. Whether it's to indulge their not-so-fans, or to make fun of how "weird" or "cringe" they can be. Honestly, I state that there's a big stigma around them. Audiences aren't exempt from a more objective point of view. Understanding a feature's purpose is necessary, because that's where the identity comes from. So, an opinion will have better support. Many time

Movie Aesthetics UI Analysis: From "E.T." to "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse", film history has repeatedly proved that the most "childish" form can carry the most universal emotions, and the craziest imagination is often the closest to reality. Perhaps, the best tribute to "Dogman" is to be like it - with innocent courage, laugh at all arrogant "maturity". In addition, I also like animated films. I have also written several articles about immersing in them for a day. I feel that it will be very interesting and want to play with them. It is very healing and can make me watch it over and over again to find the details. Thank you for giving me deep thinking and recommending me several good animations. You can also read my articles. Thank you!

Wall-E, The Robot Who Grew in My Heart

Beyond any doubt, there is one move that draws my heart to movies, especially Animation movies from early years to upcoming. From each generation, there's usually that one movie that draws you in, but only one that puts that ring on your finger. We always play that dance, right?. Will it be good? What's the rating? Who's in it? These are typical questions people have when looking for something to watch. And of course, where would I be, if I hadn't seen the trailer for that small and square lovab

La Bruja del Cineland: You words just remind me of my mom. WALL-E was her favorite movie—she watched it countless times and always cried for the little robot. It's truly a heartwarming film that brightens everyone's spirit. Happy to see that there are people sharing the same feelings about Wall-E and animations as me and my mom.Great Article ! Thank you Will! ❤️

Jentry Chau: Sabrina Spellman's spiritual successor

When I first saw the trailer for "Jentry Chau vs The Underworld" I thought the same thing as most, which was the same as "The Life and Times of Juniper Lee" and "American Dragon Jake Long." The three shows are about an Asian-American teenager who has to fight creatures and is trained by his grandfather/grandmother, but despite that, since I feel a particular attraction to creepy series for children, I gave it a chance, and I'm glad I did. The series ended up subverting several expectations I had

You Need to Watch Common Side Effects

Leaving the doctor’s office with nothing but a measly inhaler after two months of struggling with bronchitis was beyond frustrating. Waiting for five hours, only to be briefly examined and sent on my way, didn’t exactly inspire confidence in the healthcare system. What made it worse was that my insurance didn’t even cover the cost of the inhaler, and my symptoms didn't start improving until weeks later. This whole experience left me sad, but after being sad I was angry. Realizing I had no real p

Perfect Blue As An Imperfect Illusion

How does your online identity coincide with your real one? It’s probably similar in some ways but also entirely different in others. Take your Peliplat user profile, for example. You write articles with a specific viewer base in mind, using a writing style designed to cater to your audience while maintaining an overarching sense of self. Your online presence is carefully curated to highlight the best parts of who you are and conceal the worst. But how much of your true, authentic self can you tr

Springfield at Night

Sometimes, late at night, I end up scrolling through niche corners of the internet where vibes are formed by exterior night shots from The Simpsons. These establishing frames of Springfield capture a nostalgic aesthetic that is both tranquil and moody. The sky is purple; the roads are desolate; this city of chaos and humour is asleep. When I see these stills, I wish I could travel through my phone to this fictional realm. I can think of no better world for a late-night stroll than Springfield. M

Kira, a villain disguised as a hero

In 2003, Tsugumi Ōba (writer) and Takeshi Obata (drawer), created one of the best pop culture titles in history. Death Note was a phenomenal manga, which was adapted into a phenomenal anime. The plot follows young student Light Yagami, who finds the Death Note, a magical notebook that can kill anyone whose name is written in it. He decides to use it to play God and purge the world from criminals. After more than 20 years since its creation, this story is still relevant. And the debate about whom

Shrek is a Perfect Franchise, Don't Ruin It

The Shrek series is nothing short of a cultural benchmark for our generation, first premiering in 2001 as a satirical take on the fairytale genre that Disney had been perfecting for years. The last installment wrapped up 15 years ago in 2010. Now, DreamWorks has announced a fifth Shrek film, set to premiere next December. This immediately reminded me of Incredibles 2, where Brad Bird took nearly two decades to release a sequel—only for me to walk out of the theatre feeling deeply disappointed. T

Raya and the Last Dragon: My guilty pleasure is a wasted concept

Introduction Raya: a not-memorable masterpiece that I still adore. We all know those movies we know aren't cinematic masterpieces, but we secretly adore them anyway. For me, one of them is Disney's "Raya and the Last Dragon." Launched on Disney+, this animated adventure, set in a world inspired by Southeast Asian cultures, quickly found a quirky little corner in my heart, despite the mixed reactions it received from the fandom. The movie follows Raya, a determined warrior princess, on her quest

Why Does The Academy Hate Animation?

The 97th Academy Awards are upon us, and as much as I dislike clickbait articles about the Oscars before the event, we can’t deny their monumental impact on how we view, critique, and appreciate films. Lately, the Oscars discourse has just become a vessel for rage and controversy, which I find ironic considering they’re meant to honour and appreciate the cinematic arts. This endless debate over snubs and surprises overshadows the real conversation. Amidst all the outrage over films, directors, a

‘Paddington in Peru’: A Bear’s Glorious Return Home

Do you remember the adorable Paddington Bear who carries a suitcase and is always polite and courteous? Of course, he didn’t come from Paddington Station in London, where the Brown family discovered and decided to adopt him. He actually came from Darkest Peru. Recently, on the big screen, he finally returns to his hometown after getting a new passport as a British citizen. He makes his way to visit Aunt Lucy, who’d taken care of him when he was a kid at a retirement home for bears. The kind Brow

Rise of Animation: Do Future Films Still Need to ‘Speak Human’?

Records exist to be broken. Nowhere is this more evident than in the realm of animated films, where box office figures have been soaring to unprecedented heights. Meanwhile, some high-quality animated films are seeing a noticeable reduction in dialogue—with some even eliminating it entirely. First, there’s Inside Out 2, which was officially released in the U.S. on June 14, 2024. In just two weeks, it surpassed Incredibles 2 to become the highest-grossing animated film of all time in the U.S. Two

If You Could Only Watch One Pixar Movie in Your Entire Life, Let It Be 'Soul'

Looking for a must-watch movie? That's a broad topic. I honestly can't think of a single movie that's an absolute can't-miss for everyone. Even though I'm a big movie fan, I don't think it's a big deal if someone never set foot in a cinema or watched a movie in his or her entire life. Movies are just one way to understand the world, after all. But let's narrow things down a bit and talk about Pixar, which recently broke its own box office record.

Shimoneta: A Satirical Take on Censorship

When Western audiences think of animation, there’s this assumption that it’s just for kids, as if cartoons are something you’re meant to outgrow, like a childhood stuffed animal. But let’s be real—animation is a medium, not a genre. Japan took this notion and gave us something wonderful, fantastical, and sometimes very strange: anime. There’s anime for every demographic—from wholesome family-friendly series to stories so dark and thought-provoking they leave you sitting in silence, questioning y

From Live Action to Animation: Heroes that explored both media

There are times when the scriptwriters of a movie want to tell a story from that universe, but it is not long enough for a feature film, it is not an attractive enough idea, or it would simply be too expensive to carry out. And there are cases in which a company wants to continue exploiting an intellectual property by releasing more related material. Both cases lead to a live action franchise exploring the field of animation, allowing us to see our heroes in a new medium. These are some of those

The Personification and Characterization in Inside Out Series Personification is the secret to the enduring success of American animation: from Steamboat Willie to The Lion King and Bambi, and more recently, the wildly popular Zootopia. Disney and its animal friends have consistently dominated mainstream cultural perceptions of American commercial animated films. In these animations, personification is nothing more than endowing animals with human-like thinking and behavior, or conversely, using
