Dave Franco, Manny Jacinto, and Jenny Slate reveal where they worked hardest on Forgotten Island (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Voice actors on an animated studio movie are often distanced from the end result of their work. Voice work typically comes early in production, often years before the movie is completed. The character designs likely aren’t finalized at that point, and the actors often don’t have any idea what the movie they’re making will eventually look like on the screen. Dave Franco, co-star of the fantasy adventure Forgotten Island, says the lengthy production time means the actors eventually get to experien
Dreamwork's Near-Perfect Fantasy Adventure Flips a Classic Movie Trope On Its Head (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There’s a pretty familiar story hidden in the depths of Forgotten Island, in which two best friends who grew up together face a stressful crossroads as high-school graduation approaches. The broadest shape of that narrative has them celebrating their shared past, working out some issues, and reaffirming their friendship.

Read excerpt
If you squint hard enough, the end of Helluva Boss season 2 almost looks like a happy ending. The series, a companion piece to Vivienne “Vivziepop” Medrano’s other animated adult musical show, Hazbin Hotel, starts out as a violent, antic comedy about a group of imps in Hell who launch an assassination service aimed at humans on Earth. But it rapidly turns into an ambitious, tragic love story, as hyper, oversexed imp Blitzo and effete Hell-lord Stolas navigate the many, many barriers to their rom
Disney’s new Moana proves great songs can’t fix a soulless remake (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Disney’s original 2016 animated movie Moana is a powerful fable about identity. The theme runs through every character arc, with the protagonist Moana (Auli'i Cravalho), her reluctant demigod ally Maui (Dwayne Johnson), and monstrous antagonist Te Kā (no voice credit) all suffering from various identity crises that need to be resolved. Every one of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s powerful songs incorporates the idea of characters defining themselves: All of them have lyrics built around some variation of “
