From what Saberspark and Papa Meat have said about The Asylum, a big reason they can have a one-man team animating these mockbusters is that they use AI motion tracking to capture the actors' performances. The fact that the cover for their Little Mermaid movie was AI-generated is definitely convincing evidence to such a rumor.

I've never seen that Finding Jesus movie and I'll never. But the entire movie feels like ALL CHARACTERS are in a brainwashed-trance. The way they talk, the non stop talk about Jesus and even the cold dead expanded pupils in their eyes give the idea of a Get Out situation going on. I'm hoping for a character with normal dialogue and expresive design to show up reacting to everyone being weird and getting in a quest for breaking the trance they're in.

I bet strider watched the sequel to finding Jesus, and saw it was the same old plot and nothing changed.

[@antonanderson1965]

I am a Christian, and I agree, this movie is awful. Stick with something like 3 2 1 Penguins or VeggiTales, where they actually know their audience, gave a crap about their movie and what message it is supposed to convey, stick to their target audience, and have good, creative, and entertaining stories to present their message. Finding Jesus has none of that. Instead of trying to actually teach good Christian values and morals, it tries to cram them down your throat and lecturing about it to you, not allowing its audience the chance to actually internalize or truly learn them (plus the messages the movie uses are pretty generic and lazy anyway, and the film probably got a lot of things wrong, intentionally or unintentionally). The animation is pathetic, the voice-acting atrocious, the character of Mr. Sushi is offensive to both Japanese and fish alike, the plot is nonexistent, the morals are weak and hammered in, and with all its talk about Jesus, it never actually does any real justice to the Savior, His message and teachings, or why He and what He taught and did was so important and significant. The movie isn't subtle about anything, and its depiction of a racially-insensitive character, its forced messages coming across as cultish, and the fact that this movie is a blatant rip-off of Finding Nemo is sending mixed messages contrary to what the scriptures and Jesus Himself actually teaches, so this film fails to even uphold the very beliefs its trying to lecture you about! This film fails as both a good Christian film and a good movie in general, and films like this hurt Christianity more than it helps it.

I’ve been here longer than I realized, your original video came after I had already been subscribed for a year or so. Very well-made, as was this one. Please, please, please do best Canadian cartoons!

Hey Strider, I've been watching your videos for almost 7 or 8 years now, and I'm so happy to see you keep doing work that you're clearly passionate about. It's always nice to see when you've uploaded. Side note, but I like how you always bring up the positives in the stuff you critique, like when commending Michael Johnson for animating all of Homeward himself. Thanks for all of the memories man :))

Trollz is also the tv show that came before the popular DreamWorks franchise (October 3rd - November 8th 2005)

Naming ur cat after a dog is just hilarious to me. Esp that perfectly time Meow. Shadow (the cat)'s "Wait IM named AFTER A DOG!!!????"

Oh yeah I remember Homeward Bound, the other movie for the book was made and released around the same time so yeah we had The Incredible Journey which did not have the animals talking to each other and Homeward Bound, the Disney produced movie

Cargo is like the first animated project you made during animation class back in like the 2000’s or along that line.

Animator here - firstly thank you for the video! Regarding the Trollz jittery and terrible animation - it has tell tale signs it was motion captured but using terrible tech. I suspect using an xbox kinect + ipisoft or an old rokoko suit. The sliding and jitters are the mocap trying to solve where the ground is in relation to the actors limbs. Its struggling to computer it so the whole animation jitters. This can be solved, but is hard work. Smoothing the curves drastically and planting the feet to the floor is a dirty fix. What these guys have done is captured each scene as they come and just slapped it on characters without any post editing. Its why some characters look "off" because the retarget of the animation applied to the models dont have the same proportions as the mocap actor. You see the female trolls clavicle pointing downwards like her shoulders are ski slopes 😅

"be your own you" is _perfect_ for this type of video lol

Pixar ripped itself of with Planes tbh

[@NebulaRanger]

Disney Toon Studios actually made the Planes movies.

[@theelementalgriffin2092]

How does one make both a ripoff and a spinoff?

[@joshuacanales6419]

I remember watching the original video on this channel and I loved it and it's so nice to see a sequel to that video also the be you known you song in the background was a nice touch too

The way he says brinquedo makes me smile every time

11:45 Fun fact there's already a cartoon based on the Troll dolls called Trollz, from the 2000s.

[@chicagolondongirl2906]

Fun fact: The Asylum also produced Titanic 2-- which is also a mockbuster. And yes, it's terrible.
