I don't watch "Tonight Show," but I watch Dolly Parton's Mountain Magic Christmas every year and damn if this existential nostalgia horror doesn't define the Fallon/Parton musical number in the 50's diner

Copying the description of this video:

Ahead of its debut on April 27, Disney has shared a first look at footage from Songs in Sign Language, its collaboration with the Deaf West Theatre that reimagined and animated songs from Frozen 2, Encanto, and Moana 2 in American Sign Language (ASL).

Directed by veteran Disney animator/director Hyrum Osmond, the featured songs are “The Next Right Thing” (from Frozen 2), “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” (from Encanto), and “Beyond” (from Moana 2). Take a look at clips taken from each musical number, as well as behind-the-scenes b-roll footage that offers a look at the process.

Osmond, along with producers Heather Blodget and Christina Chen, worked in collaboration with artistic director DJ Kurs and the team at Los Angeles’ Tony Award-winning Deaf West Theatre to create the new versions of these songs. A special behind-the-scenes featurette will accompany its release.

Osmond led a team of more than 20 animators who worked with sign language reference expressly created for Disney Animation’s Songs in Sign Language. DJ Kurs, artistic director for Deaf West Theatre, worked with sign language reference choreographer Catalene Sacchetti and a group of eight performers from Deaf West Theatre, reimagining and choreographing lyrics into ASL by focusing on concepts and emotion instead of a word-for-word transcription.

Disney Animation’s Songs in Sign Language will be available on Disney+ on April 27, which coincides with National Deaf History Month.

Some important notes: no """AI""" was used to make this. They literally took the actual assets from the movies and re-animated them in ASL. And it is ASL, not SEE or contact sign or anything else.

Something I find especially striking about this Disney project is that 11 months ago I made a post to /c/worldbuilding about an "Open Sign Language Animation Project" in the future: after the global socialist revolution, Japan established a state-owned animation studio that took over all the animation assets of Ghibli films and other classic anime. So this project of Disney's in the present day is sort of the closest thing to OSLAP in our time, and it proves that dubbing animated films into sign languages is feasible and something there is a real demand for. But imagine how much more accessible media could become if films' animation assets were made publicly available! That was the idea behind OSLAP: making animation assets publicly available for the purposes of dubbing formerly-copyrighted works into sign languages. Unlike Disney's ASL songs project, though, OSLAP had a limited usage of ML technology: first, 3D anime character rigs were created for traditional motion capture; and then each work in the project would also have a machine learning-based renderer created for it, to optionally convert the 3D rigs into the 2D anime style of the respective work (see this video).

Incredibly gut wrenching movie 10/10 experience felt a lot of emotions. I don't do or read film analysis but I'd love if someone pointed me to a good one of this movie. There were a lot of motiffs that I caught the existence of but not the meaning of.

Anyway I came here to ask if anyone else found it unfulfilling? It was a very well made film but it felt like it had no closure. I assume this is intentional and meant to reflect the lack of closure that victims of war often experience but I wanted y'alls thoughts on it. I also found the title very interesting and sort of mocking. It's like the creators are disgusted by the fact that I would want to witness their carnage and only showing it to me in a "get what you asked for and live with it" kinda way.

Highly recommend this movie

A startling behind-the-scenes warning from the heart of The Original Series: Dorothy Fontana saw the danger before the fall became obvious. In this video, Trek World explores Fontana’s 1967 memo, why she feared Star Trek was repeating itself, and how concerns from insiders like Robert Justman, Joseph Pevney, and Walter Koenig reveal a series under real creative strain.

This is not just a story about declining quality. It is a story about identity — about what happens when a bold show begins imitating itself, losing balance, and drifting away from the very imagination that made it matter. From Bread and Circuses to A Private Little War, this episode examines the philosophical cracks forming inside Star Trek’s second season and why Fontana’s warning still echoes across the franchise today.

Starring a young Sean bean , It's based on a british young adult napoleonic fiction series. kinda like master and commander, as far as genre. I think the youtube channel is giving it a bit of a revival (that's how I heard of it).

It's a fun show. There's not much character development, but def has themes on class and imperialism. The main character is an enlisted prole sergent that gets a field commission, so there's the tension he has with blue-blooded officers. His sergent Patrick is basically his sidekick, so there's also the tension between the irish soldiers and the anglos. Sharpe and Patrick are absolutely gay for each other !

3DV (DynaDigiDataVac) is a 3D animated short film directed by Bil Maher and Chris St. Lawrence that was produced roughly between 1981-1983 at the NYIT Computer Graphics Lab. The short was originally intended as a pilot for 3D animated hosts, being shown to a variety of people in the industry including George Lucas and Jim Henson. Allegedly, User Friendly would serve as the inspiration for Max Headroom after Annabel Jankel watched the film at one of the lab's tours.

With the demise of the lab's feature project titled The Works, 3DV was also used as a framing device to showcase the lab's best work for the feature.
