Studio Ghibli’s new Princess Mononoke 4K restoration was a labor of love

sopuli.xyzStudio Ghibli’s new Princess Mononoke 4K restoration was a labor of love - SopuliArchive: https://archive.is/2025.03.26-131941/https://www.theverge.com/entertainment/634951/studio-ghibli-mononoke-4k-restoration-atsushi-okui [https://archive.is/2025.03.26-131941/https://www.theverge.com/entertainment/634951/studio-ghibli-mononoke-4k-restoration-atsushi-okui] > When Princess Mononoke [https://www.polygon.com/animation-cartoons/2020/5/27/21271782/princess-mononoke-hayao-miyazaki-best-studio-ghibli-movies-themes] first debuted back in 1997, it marked a major turning point for Studio Ghibli. The studio had already dabbled in computer-generated imagery and digital compositing with films like Isao Takahata’s Pom Poko and Yoshifumi Kondō’s Whisper of the Heart. But Mononoke was the first instance of Ghibli really embracing CGI as a tool to enhance one of its hand-drawn animated projects — something that writer / director Hayao Miyazaki had staunchly opposed in the past [https://www.indiewire.com/features/general/hayao-miyazaki-anti-cgi-animation-pencil-1234681133/]. > The original prints of Mononoke that screened in theaters were already a gorgeous showcase of how seamlessly Ghibli could incorporate cutting edge technology into its traditional production workflow. But the studio plans for its upcoming Mononoke 4K restoration to be an even more visually-stunning example of how newer innovations can revitalize classic art. When I recently sat down with Ghibli’s vice president Atsushi Okui, who previously served as the studio’s director of photography for animation and worked on films like Porco Rosso and Howl’s Moving Castle, he told me that the process of restoring Mononoke in 4K actually began about a decade ago when the standard was first starting to become more widely adopted. > “We scanned Mononoke over 10 years ago, and I’m so glad that we did it in 4K then because it’s only now that people are starting to see the format’s effectiveness,” Okui said. “The new restoration really speaks to the great potential that celluloid film has because it really, really works for the big screen.”

Report: WB looking to sell Looney Tunes brand after Coyote vs. Acme

feddit.ukReport: WB looking to sell Looney Tunes brand after Coyote vs. Acme - Feddit UK> Warner Bros. may now be looking to sell the entire Looney Tunes brand. > >Earlier this week, it was announced that Warner Bros. Discovery may finally be selling the distribution rights for Coyote vs. Acme to Ketchup Entertainment. The move comes after Warner Bros. decided to shelve the completed movie for a $30 million tax write-off rather than release it to the public. > > … > > According to Jeff Sneider’s The InSneider, Warner Bros. may be looking to rid themselves of Looney Tunes entirely. > >Sneider said, “I’m told that part of the reason WB decided to sell Coyote vs. Acme to Ketchup rather than take a tax credit a month before Tax Day (April 15) is because the studio is trying to sell off the Looney Tunes altogether.” > >There’s been no official comment on the matter from Warner Bros. at this time; however, it is worth noting that the original Looney Tunes animated shorts, which ran from 1930 through 1969, were recently taken off Max. Deadline reported that the show is “no longer viewed as a priority” as “the streamer will prioritize adult and family programming.” > > … > > In addition to Coyote vs. Acme, Warner Bros. sold The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie to Ketchup Entertainment following some internal restructuring in 2022. That movie was released in United States theaters on March 14, 2025. It has received generally positive reviews from critics but has so far only grossed around $6 million at the worldwide box office.
Nel cuore della Londra vittoriana, il piacere femminile diventa... un effetto collaterale medico.
"Hysteria" non è solo una commedia storica: è una critica affilata, una risata amara, un vibratore che rivoluziona la medicina.
Sì, hai letto bene.

Una riflessione sul potere, il corpo, la pseudoscienza e le paure degli uomini.
Spoiler: le donne non avevano nulla da curare.

I don't think you think of Science Fiction often when thinking about Lars Von Trier. Yet, his 2011 masterpiece Melancholia is one of, if not the best, science fiction film(s) ever.
