I haven't made reservations but will hopefully be able to get in to see it sometime opening weekend or the one after, just to participate here more than anything.

I'm still kind of scared, IDK.

It's almost like...the old one, one of the cool things about it was how much of an epic story could be made out of nothing by just drawing, and the animation kind of enhanced the story telling because it put it in this real-but-not-real zone.

This one it feels like, the more realistic the characters are, the more awkward and silly it all feels, and that's been kind of building in me with every trailer. Paradoxically, it feels way LESS real and sort of a crap ton more lame with the hyper-realistic animals.

IDK, maybe it's just because I engaged with the drawing aspect of it for so long. But.

It's like a reality check on something beloved that I never asked for and never wanted, lol.
