For nearly a century, ever since its founder and namesake released his first Mickey Mouse cartoon, the Walt Disney Company has been the king of animation. Unfortunately for Disney, a new movie from another prominent film company is suggesting that those days might be over. According to Deadline, Universal/Illumination’s “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” a new release, is on track for a $368 million global five-day start, which would make it the biggest animated opening of all time. This record would beat out Disney’s “Frozen 2,” the 2019 movie that currently holds the top...

The core players remain largely the same, with koala bear impresario Buster Moon (Matthew McConaughey, whose recent good career decisions include not singing or running for governor of Texas) betting on his ability to launch an elaborate stage show in Redshore City, which looks a whole lot like Las Vegas.Unfortunately, the ruthless casino mogul (Bobby Cannavale) who runs the place insists that Buster land the participation of an aging rock-star lion (Bono), who has essentially become a hermit, as a condition of bankrolling the production, just one of the many hurdles that Buster and...

Stars Who Have Voiced Animated Disney Characters

Getting animated! Did you know that some of the most beloved Disney and Pixar characters just so happen to be voiced by the biggest names in Hollywood? Though we tend to think of our favorite actors in terms of their screen presence — a.k.a. the aesthetics, mannerisms and personality they bring to each and every character — many have also provided their voices to some of the film company’s most beloved classics. You might recognize Fuller House’s Scott Weinger, for instance, as the voice of Aladdin in the 1992 animated version of the film,...

‘Better Call Saul’ star Rhea Seehorn gets animated in Paramount+ series

September 25, 2021

Rhea Seehorn, who stars in the new animated comedy “The Harper House,” has much in common with Debbie Harper, her 2-D alter ego — starting with their first names. Seehorn’s real name is actually Deborah — Rhea (prounced “Ray”) is her middle name — though it’s a coincidence that series creator Brad Neely gave the same name to his lead character. “I don’t think it was until we were recording the third episode and I said, ‘My mom is really gonna get a kick out of this’ because I was called ‘Debbie’ until I...

‘Cute’ new spider species named ‘Nemo’ after animated fish

March 30, 2021

The Maratus nemo, a newly discovered peacock spider named after the animated clownfish Nemo, is anything but an ordinary arachnid. Native only to the Australian continent, the Maratus nemo is no bigger than the size of a long grain of rice — which is a shame considering it’s one of the most vibrantly colored spider species on Earth. Like the name “peacock” suggests, they’re also known for putting on a show in hopes of finding a mate. In a new paper published in Evolutionary Systematics on Thursday, researcher Joseph Schubert described the newest member...

February 23, 2021

Another white “Simpsons” voice actor has stepped down from lending his pipes to a character of color. According to The Wrap, Harry Shearer, who is white, will no longer voice the black character Dr. Hibbert. He’ll be replaced by Kevin Michael Richardson (“Bless the Harts”) in next Sunday’s episode, “Wad Goals.” Shearer has voiced Springfield’s most skilled doctor — in contrast to Hank Azaria’s incompetent Dr. Nick — since 1990. He also voices Ned Flanders and Principal Skinner, among other characters, and Fox confirmed to The Post that he will continue voicing the other roles....

‘Cryptozoo’ is animated instrument of torture

by rachelmeadows

January 31, 2021

The animated film “Cryptozoo” begins with a nude hippie grabbing a rock and violently bashing in the head of a unicorn, who just impaled her boyfriend. This should have raised a red flag. But I kept watching — and wincing — for another 90 obnoxious minutes. Director Dash Shaw’s movie, which premiered Friday in the Sundance Film Festival, imagines a world in which mythological creatures coexist with modern humans. It’s like Narnia, only instead of Christian allegory, we get a lot of “f–k”s, warped sex scenes, brutal deaths and the clarity of a blindfold....
