I'm back with a movie review! I heavily resisted the movie but I needed content for this episode so I decided to watch it and now you have something to listen to! We all win!

Pixar's ONWARD - Released March 6, 2020, Directed by Dan Scanlon

Plot (via IMDB) Set in a suburban fantasy world, two teenage elf brothers, Ian and Barley Lightfoot, go on a journey to discover if there is still a little magic left out there in order to spend one last day with their father, who died when they were too young to remember him.

It is STILL Black History Month so I felt it was only right to talk about Black cartoon characters or the lack thereof.

_THINGS MENTIONED_

• Is it more racist to make a Black character Black because you can or make them Black because it is a story point?
• There are more Black make character than Black female characters
• Cree Summer basically voicing all of the Black female characters
• The Boondocks as a "love letter" to Black culture
• Hair Love
• Matthew Cherry
• Everett Downing
• Book of Mojo
• Karen Rupert Toliver
• Dreaming big

_ANIMATION NEWS_

• Hair Love winning the oscar for best animated short
• Klaus winning BAFTA for best animated feature film (BAFTA is The British Academy of Film and Television Arts or BAFTA Film Awards essentially the british oscars)
• Sonic The Hedgehog surprised us all - 'Sonic the Hedgehog' has the biggest opening weekend ever for a video game movie with $57 million.
• "Recess" voice actor and former child actor Jason Davis has died at 35 - he was the voice of Mikey
