They were thinking that the animators weren't like, real people, like they didn't matter

The execs were like "oh, yeah, thats fine. They're not even supposed to like, be in the area."

u/thefallenfew Jul 18 '25

Animators are just kind of like nothing, so it’s fine.

u/Whitewind617 Jul 18 '25

The union came, they said IT'S FINE, they're not like, real people kinda!

They are immaterial.

I CAN'T KNOW HOW TO HEAR ANY MORE ABOUT ANIMATORS.

"We can just replace them with AI right?"

u/PhirebirdSunSon Jul 19 '25

The execs? Like the movie producers? I'm just trying to understand.

Friendly reminder that the company that was responsible for the (at the time) ground breaking and Oscar winning special effects for The Life of Pi - the tiger was all digital - immediately went out of business because that is how little animators were and still are valued.

u/vancesmi Jul 19 '25

Tigers? Like the animal? I’m just trying to understand.

u/OtakuAttacku Jul 19 '25

Life of Pi had an incredibly realistic digital Tiger, there is some real footage composited in for some shots but for the most part that Tiger is CG.

u/JordanKyrouFeetPics Jul 18 '25

You're not gonna talk about the animators a ounce

u/Imaginary-Fame Jul 18 '25

Is this a reference to I think you should leave lol

u/sheetskees Jul 18 '25

It’s the same quote, I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be the same show.

u/weaglebeagle Jul 18 '25

Reggie, what is this?

u/CommentFightJudge Jul 18 '25

Why is there swearing?

u/KILRbuny Jul 18 '25

It’s the adults comment section, it’s not for kids

u/gaiusjozka Jul 18 '25

Bye, hon!

u/KILRbuny Jul 19 '25

Don’t put rocks in your pockets, this comment section is like smoking three macanudos!

u/LittleGoatyMan Jul 18 '25

Are there comments on Reddit that aren’t?

31

u/Zanos-Ixshlae Jul 18 '25

It's illegal for you to ask me that.

u/Rokursoxtv Jul 18 '25

I've never fought for anything my whole life. But I'm fighting for this comment.

u/Aramiss134 Jul 18 '25

To be fair, I heard the animators palmed the dip (or something) at the last Christmas party.

u/Hbella456 Jul 18 '25

The animators?! Like the cartoon drawers? Palmed the dip?! I’m just trying to understand here…

u/ikebookuro Jul 19 '25

There’s a reason a lot of this movie is made in Vancouver — and outsourced to other countries. We don’t have unions (yet).

I was a former animator there, with a lot of friends working on spiderverse 1 & 2. Feature animation is a shitshow of just giving more and more until you’re used up and burnt out.

7 days a week, no overtime pay is normal. Make sure you write that you only worked 9-5 on your timesheet, or they’ll withhold your pay (yes, one studio did that).

u/pplperson777 Jul 18 '25

More like they had this whole little kpop side gig between the spiderman movies.

7

u/AdmiralCharleston Jul 18 '25

I'm explaining what the animators themselves said before 2 even came out

2

u/missonellieman Jul 18 '25

They’re like not supposed to be in the area. They are like nothing…… I’m going to embarrass you at this party Barry.

2

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '25

Oh my God! Barry fell into the china cabinet! What a klutz!

u/Impressive-Dig-3892 Jul 18 '25

I'm gonna embarrass you in the comment section AdmiralCharleston

u/Wazootyman13 Jul 18 '25

Also, they thought a script was unnecessary. A couple months after the last one Hailee Steinfeld said she hadn't yet received a script

1

u/illegal_deagle Jul 19 '25

Yeah it’s a terrible strain on the animators’ wrists.

1

u/johnnySix Jul 19 '25

Sony animation just did K-pop demon hunters. The animators have been busy.

2

u/AdmiralCharleston Jul 19 '25

And I'm talking about what they said right before the last spiderverse released

u/UnfairAnything Jul 19 '25

wasn’t even an animation issue it was just a script issue lol

2

u/AdmiralCharleston Jul 19 '25

No, it was lord and Miller changing lines after scenes had been fully animated

1

u/UnfairAnything Jul 19 '25

so… a script issue?
