Holy shit, my dudes.
The word "miraculous" gets thrown around a lot, especially when it comes to things many people put many long hard hours into to accomplish or creating, but this genuinely feels like some sort of miracle.
A French, stop-motion animated film released in 1937, based on 12th Century folk tales, ten years in the making, released eight months before Snow White, and survived and survived all the years and decades, and now, nearly a century later, I…
I’m not afraid to admit that I was so hyped that I was surprisingly emotionally raw as I was sitting down in the theater.
