If you want to support Dana Terrace and independent animation, go check out her new adult animated series Knights of Guinevere, made with Glitch Productions.
Pilot episode here; https://youtu.be/MCAdbUaMlAE
If you like darkly comedic scifi horror, it's well worth checking out.
It's also very explicitly about how Disney has descended into a purely capitalist and anti-human entity.
descended
lol
Fine
scended
There's a scene where a giant robot knight stabs the crap out of a giant ball that looks like the Epcot Center.
Mistreat your altar boys long enough, and this is what you get.
Descended into it? You do understand what Disney's always been right. I mean obviously you don't if you have this type of comment.
The Owl House is also fantastic. You can find the entire series on the high seas with little effort.
Can confirm, this was a good pilot.
Immediately hooked, but where's the rest. 😭 I know I know, it's done when it's done...
Yeah, Glitch's whole thing is they work on their own time. Quality over quantity. Which is rough when you're absolutely jonesing for that next episode of The Amazing Digital Circus and have no idea when you're going to get it.
(If you like the dark humour and "Childish whimsy as a source of horror" elements, The Amazing Digital Circus may be worth you checking out. Same studio, different creative team, very different art style, but really good blend of laugh out loud funny and oh God no that's fucking creepy)
Ye, love it, too. Can't wait for the inevitable abstracting.
Well, the creator is suggesting you pirate them.
They're well worth the watch. The series is complete already, and has been for several years. There's a few little mini-shorts and little spinoffs, but the main story arc was fully completed.
It's a solid series, and has a lot of similarities to Adventure Time, if you liked that.
They are talking about Knight of Guinevere, I think, not Owl House. Of which there's only a pilot.
ah, gotcha, my b
We were discussing Dana's new, independent show, Knights of Guinevere.
But yes, The Owl House is phenomenal.
Oh good, it's on Xitter and Youtube. Neither of which I can access without an account.
it be available on the seas as well, if you're sailing
What's the AI in Disney he's referring to?
Disney+ is apparently going to allow AI gen user content.
I see this gimmick lasting a whole month or two before it massively backfires. Either through massive compute costs or from fucked up user creations causing a disastrous PR incident.
*she
She is so fucking angry at Disney and absolutely unrepentant about it. I love it. Stay real, Dana.
I'm missing context, did Disney start running Gen AI stuff?
Edit: Disregard found my answer in another comment.
"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
