Came here to say this as well. The animated characters are the members of the band.

Thank you. Even before I got past the headline, all I could think was, “Why would anyone capitalize it?”

I mean, it’s not a weird reason at all. On the contrary, it makes perfect sense. They are animals, and we don’t capitalize animal names. We talk about horses, camels, cows, cats, dogs, lions, tigers and bears, oh my! Not Horses, Camels, Cows, etc., unless you are talking about sports teams (like the Pitsburgh’s…

You’ve probably here this before but you're really missing out by not watching Clone Wars or Rebels

Finally saw 2001: A Space Odyssey in a theater a couple of years back, IMAX format. During the Intermission I reviewed doorbell cam footage on my phone and realized that was the most HAL 9000 thing ever. 

Presumably they walk all the way up the Mississippi from the Gulf of Mexico.

Amid the shock and heartbreak and “oh fuck millions of parents - like me - are going to have to break this news to their kids”, my stupid brain has also been wondering where they go now with Black Panther.

If they don’t bring Urban back to play Dredd, they’re freaking morons.

A true actor, elevating the craft. 

Sorry you’re offended by the idea of an incredibly-popular animated series occasionally appearing on Netflix. Go back to watching The Office, dork.

Christ man no kidding, seen a bunch of people already on this thread flip the fuck out over benign shit. 

I mean no disrespect, but Missy is half Jewish, and Jenny Slate is Jewish. As someone who is multi-ethnic myself, if for whatever reason I was turned into a fantasy character, I would be fine with someone of a similar background portraying me or my voice unless that option and in that language was very difficult for a…

In all seriousness though, it is a cute/funny post.

The biggest issue is that there are so few roles for any minority actors that it’s just shitty to give what few minority roles do exist to white actors that have always had plenty of roles. As of right now the vast majority of characters in American animation are white characters and I’d guess about 99% of the time…

Since this isn’t segregation, yes, pretty happy.

After decades of segregation in favor of majority peoples, why is anyone honestly surprised that the pendulum is now swinging in the other direction?

Why?

I was wondering if anyone else was going to comment on this - Benny had been a star with the Dodgers for years; the end of the movie was his last hurrah.

Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez is at the end of his all-star professional career in that final Sandlot scene, not the beginning. Ragging on the character for not practicing enough and not succeeding as anything other than a speedster is a complete misreading of the film's story that I will not allow to go uncorrected.
