No Way Up (2024)

3 words: Best Movie Ever! Don't listen to the haters ever
17 February 2024
This film is the God of Shark movies! Oh Lord it's great. People don't know what they're talking about. I laughed so hard at the dialogue and the overall unpredictability of the screenplay that offers some the best Visual effects for any Shark movie. I haven't seen a shark film this fun or this exciting. The dialogue worked since it's as if the film knows its concept is stupid so it might as well make its characters say stupid stuff anyway. It has excuse to have such silly lines. My favorite lines coming from Will Attenborough who plays this unapologetically obnoxious and laugh out loud funny chatter box character who gets all the bangers in this movie. He seems stupid at first but the more I watched I started to think of him as a pail but funnier version of Deadpool. All of the other characters have fun quirks and personalities that fit this film's utterly ridiculous narrative. VFX wise the film also looks gorgeous. They present the beauty of the ocean in all its glory and even the Tiger sharks look wonderfully realized in this film with an authentic look. The storyline although incredibly basic is really smart with clever quips and one liners as well as plenty of action. Seriously the shark scenes had me at the edge of my seat! That's because the film's VFX artist put in so much effort into what's essentially a stupid shark film. This movie met all my expectations. Heck everything that was in the trailer was also shown in the movie but better! Go watch it please! Hallelujah! Bless the filmmakers for this masterpiece.

A masterpiece of an animated short that's better than every CG animated short ever
14 October 2023
I've never laughed so hard at a short that stars "Blue Sky Studios" characters or CG animated characters in my life!!!! The writing was fun allowing the animators to have unlimited freedom with the amount of whimsical, Over the top, outrageous, and hilarious slapstick! "Aunt Fanny's Tour of Booty" throws so many gags with gags piling on top of gags. It gets you laughing from bottom to top! The humor is the best I've ever seen. With spot on timing for every joke to keep everything at a relatively fast energy! It's a mixture of cartoony slapstick, whimsical, and gross out humor and I loved it.

Even the animation looks great. It looked pretty expensive even if it's just an animated short. With great shots and the imagined setting of our beloved characters. Once again Robin Williams kills it as Fender! Even if his role is a bit minor now.

Overall "Aunt Fanny's Tour of Booty" short is a masterpiece. Truly an animated gem in the realm of CGI animated shorts. I'd give it a 10 out 10. Please support this short!!!! It may convince "Blue Sky" to come back who knows.

The Discarded (I) (2023)
8/10
A short with the best Live action 2D mix up since "Roger Rabbit"
24 August 2023
This short has an interesting concept of what would happen if a character designer threw out or "discarded" his previous designs and it came back alive only to go completely haywire. The shorts well animated for its smoothness in quality and the style that harkens back to "Looney Tunes". The acting is pretty spot on considering it's coming from both professionals and the director himself who pulls off surprisingly interesting expressions of concern on his face. The short overall is phenomenal. I wasn't expecting so much coming from Uli Meyer in the future but this short truly ruled. It's great.

A fun and interesting short
19 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The story is just about a Dinosaur named Dudley trying to write a report on teeth by getting help from his teachers and best friends. I like the premise of the short. It sounds unique and interesting only at the same time it's a little stupid because Dudley is a T-rex how could he possibly write a teeth report using those arms.despite the shorts stupidity it does have some funny jokes here and there thanks to the slapstick and wacky facial expressions and the animation for the most part looks good. Sure some of character designs on the dinosaurs look cartoony only there are some creative looking designs found on some of the other characters that aren't dinosaurs and the highlight of the animation is the movements where the characters movements look fluid and bouncy enough to make the short's story more interesting. Also I like how the animators try to make the short look like a looney Tunes cartoon. It was pretty obvious the short took influence from classic Warner brother's cartoons the animators want to tell a cute story using animation. Overall this short may not be that good if you like dinosaurs only as a short in the vein of A Chuck Jones looney tunes cartoon it's worth a watch.
