It does seem less like “news” and more like “awards season promotion”.

Because the contract says Sony can do exactly what they’re doing?

While that’s true, this statement in the article isn’t the first thing he’s said since his return that’s raised some eyebrows, and future animated feature offerings are leaning heavily into sequilitis. Maybe he’s just aiming to stabilize the situation and set things up for his successor to complete the turnaround, but…

We know that this moment, probably, is one of the harder ones you’re going to have today, a psychic ordeal that can only come from reconciling an idea that the human brain simply isn’t wired to handle, i.e., “young, sexy Donald Trump.”

So, Dodge actually has more than one line per episode?

Next up: sequels to WALL•E and Beauty and the Beast (both animated and live-action versions), and live action Finding Nemo.

Hi, Matt!

That’s unquestionably better than what he went with, and just as “edgy”.

looks like Handsome Squidward

Does he even know who Lenny Bruce is beyond being mentioned in “It’s the End of the World as We Know It (and I Feel Fine)”?
