Hollywood can get better if it opens itself to a newer and wider variety of talent, and everyone puts their hearts into it!

I loved pic related when I was a kid, but can we all agree that it has the worst moral out of any animated film? Hollywood is so overwhelmingly corrupt that it's unsalvageable. The only way to get ahead in that town, as an actor or director or writer or just about anything, is to dull any sense of morality (or just be a born sociopath) and adding more "new blood" has never fixed that, it's only created more enablers and more victims. If anything good, decent, creative people need to stay as far away from LA as possible for their own sakes. I am not saying "they should have made furry Mulholland Drive" or something else depressing here, but face it... the message of this film aged like milk. At least the animation was great.

Same director from Chicken Little

The movie was indeed propaganda. But it also gave us Darla Dimple and she is sexo. So it balances out.

this movie was the last ditch effort to salvage a movie where Michael Jackson interacted with Looney Tunes, the other half of that fallout was Space Jam

Along similar lines, while Darla is very cute, well-done on the technical level, and I enjoy watching her, I find her role in the film very disturbing to think about. Like. You realize why child actors are a fucked up institution, right?
Cats Don't Dance is apparently supposed to be set in a fictional version of 1939. Did you know that Shirley Temple's acting career began to collapse in 1941 at age 12 when some Hollywood bigwig tried to fuck her?

What always bothered me the most about this movie was the Shirley Temple parody, who they made out to be irredeemable and the cause of everything that was wrong with Hollywood, but then when you look at the actual Shirley Temple (who I knew of before I watched the film) none of that is remotely true.
It's not a huge complaint, but it struck me as weird as a kid.

I feel like that came about like

guys we need a stand-in for a well-known golden age actor as the villain

who would the funniest choice be?

Fred Astaire?

Greta Garbo?

Peter Lorre?

hmmm... okay hear me out

Honestly, they did salvage it
Not the box office since they just let it bomb intentionally but the film is good for a last minute slap-together

Yeah, it is a really funny choice, I'll give 'em that.

Ok this is sort of off-topic but I had been wondering for close to a decade which character it was that Pearl from Splatoon 2 reminded me of and I finally figured it out because of this post. Thanks.
