It was a school project that got out of hand -- he wanted to quit many times. But Park stuck with it and fulfilled his dream of bringing a cinematic feel to stop motion.

Now I have to tell people when I say I like the movie The Breadwinner, I have to specify it's about the animated film by Cartoon Saloon and that will get annoying fast and the good film has to share the title with the shit film. 1134

Ryan Robotham @ryanjrobotham.bsky.social · 9hIt's incredible how Harry Potter seems to have failed to evolve with emotional and media literacy in a way that feels almost unique to it, and it's only recently, especially in light of Rowling's platform. 010

It's not a choice made rationally, defeated with a rational argument. Bigotry is a self-protective, foundational belief used to help make the world make sense to them. Debate won't change that. 31940559

Ryan Robotham @ryanjrobotham.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I've said elsewhere that books have value and longevity in discovery, and HP can't claim to be discoverable. It was all to find the next Roald Dahl, but even with their problematic elements, there's enough variety that even Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or Matilda is discoverable to somebody. 020
Ryan Robotham @ryanjrobotham.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Just so we're clear, this isn't to downplay J.K. Rowling's anti-trans platform, if anything, it shows how the too-big-to-fail sentiment that allowed her that platform was entrenched from the start. 120
Ryan Robotham @ryanjrobotham.bsky.social · 03/10/2026So much of its success is down to being sold as something it's not. The books that got kids reading. The success story of a starving artist. Tolkien level world-building. A nostalgic safe space. Long term franchise potential. It's pro-capitalist and anti-literacy and it was accepted. 120
Ryan Robotham @ryanjrobotham.bsky.social · 03/10/2026It's amazing how for all the bluster of being the books that "saved a generation of readers," Harry Potter has almost uniquely failed to evolve with emotional and media literacy. 260
