UK new minimum wage: £27,456 per year. Higher-rate tax bracket: £50,270. 1.8x difference. In 1997 there was a 5x difference. Mind boggling.

this is shown within the first few minutes of the movie, and the message completely stuck with me until the credits rolled. the entire movie is such a breathtaking piece of handmade craftwork, and we’re so lucky to still be able to see shit like this get made.

If anyone on earth has earned the right to call out AI, it’s the studio that spends 4 months animating 3 seconds of a stop-motion monster out of clay, wire, and sheer stubbornness. LAIKA’s entire business model is built on handcrafted, impossible physical labor; hearing them defend human craft isn't marketing, it’s a moral manifesto.
