Walt Disney Feature Animation's Treasure Planet, written and directed by John Musker & Ron Clements (The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Moana), was released 20 years ago today.

This 43rd Disney animated feature film is also one that my followers keep describing as "underrated"...
...every time I talk about it, proof that this movie is well-loved by those who haven't missed it. Yes, it had failed at the box office. But no more excuses: it's now available on Disney+!
It's never too late to board the R.L.S. Legacy (R.L.S.: Robert Louis Stevenson, author of Treasure Island, 1883), especially for its 20th anniversary.

Treasure Planet (2002): Art by Michael Spooner
The film's failure had concrete consequences: there were never any dark rides at Disneyland, even though the worldbuilding of the film would have lent itself particularly well to it.

And the sequel was cancelled.

Good Night Oppy (Prime) is a beautiful documentary directed by Ryan White, combining archive footage, new interviews and a magnificent vision of Mars by the wizards of @ILMVFX
The story of Opportunity, which was supposed to last 90 sols but lasted 5,352, is thrilling and...
@ILMVFX ...and sometimes even moving.

Because we quickly understand why engineers and scientists have considered her a member of the family, and at the end of the film, Oppy quickly joins the pantheon of cinema robots. Except that she existed and is still alone on Mars.
@ILMVFX The documentary highlights not only the technical exploit but also the scientific one, especially what Oppy and her twin Spirit brought to science and knowledge.
A film not to be missed!

On three occasions recently, I learned that people from very well-known studios (VFX, games), and of which I have been a long-time fan, were reading my articles and talking about them among colleagues.

That's all, it was just for brag.
Now if the PR people could do the same thing, that would suit me.

As they generally see no interest in this little weird account while the designers agree to answer me lol

Ewoks: The Battle for Endor was broadcast on ABC 37 years ago today.
With arguably the most traumatic scene in all of Star Wars. And Wilford Brimley.

We obviously look forward to the continuation of the adventures of Teek & Cindel Towani.

Final mix and picture mastering are now done: 13 years later, Avatar 2 is finished.

This is an opportunity to get a better look at the vehicles, whose designers are almost the same as for the original.

An Alien Isolation (2014) sequel?? Please let this rumor be true! I miss Amanda Ripley.

The other Alien game "in the Survival Horror vein", mentioned here, could be the Aliens game developed by Survios (see next tweet).

Not counting Aliens; Dark Descent (below in the thread).
