The 2 movies
Show notes
We're celebrating 450 episodes with a look at TWO movies this week: The late 2010s yeti two-punch of Smallfoot and Abominable ! Join in as we discuss the odd surfeit of yeti films, sort-of-Chinese animation studio Pearl Animation, plot-essential billboards, and of course "Zendaya is Meechee." Plus: Why was Abominable banned throughout Southeast Asia? Why is Sarah Paulson's character pretending to be British? How are Smallfoot 's Stonekeepers chosen? And, most importantly, which of these movies is less bad? Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe! Next week: Happy Together (1997) ---------------------------------------------------- Key sources and links for this episode: Interview with Smallfoot director Karey Kirkpatrick ( Collider ) "Sony ImageWorks Provides Big Effects, Animation for Warner's Smallfoot " ( Post Perspective ) " Smallfoot : Singing with Sasquatch and Friends" ( Animation Magazine) "'Zendaya is Meechee' is a Post-Vine Vine" ( New York Times ) "Oriental DreamWorks Rewrites its Chinese Production Strategy" ( Variety ) " Abominable : A DreamWorks Movie, a Map, and a Huge Regional Row" (BBC)
