I didn’t say you did. But we’re both part of a conversation sparked by such a claim:

I’ve been on two Disney websites. I joined the first one in May of 2007 (which is now defunct), and have been here since October of 2012.
I have never once put a single member, there or here, on “ignore” for even a second.
It would just be waaaaaaayyyyyyy less entertaining that way…!!!!!

Let's just watch Citizen Kane - where everything is in focus, deep focus

I am not ashamed to say I love the ignore feature and use it frequently. My online time is mine and I refuse to let other people ruin it for me. My peace is worth more than engaging with trolls and morons.I’ve been on two Disney websites. I joined the first one in May of 2007 (which is now defunct), and have been here since October of 2012.

And that’s your privilege.
I just don’t care what others say about me and my thoughts and values.
I hear everyone, and engage accordingly.
I’m not losing sleep over any of it.
I have many more important things in my life than this website, but it is a bit of nice silliness to have fun with from time to time, on a daily basis…!!!

It amazes me how people who clearly have zero knowledge about how film works are the most critical of film technique as if they are experts. For that matter have zero knowledge about how the human eye works and how the film makers use that to translate the image that onto film for more depth to give a more realistic movie going experience.
I guess some people just like flat movies where everything is in focus, their life must be bland and has no depth so want their movies to reflect the same.

I very much doubt anyone here actually has a problem with blurry backgrounds. What we observed today was just another example of someone backing themselves into a corner and then choosing to double down rather than acknowledge their mistake.

I thought they might have tried to incorporate the look of the Dwarfs in the Mine Train ride (which they basically recreated in the film.)
Didn’t Dopey’s face even light up (reminding me of the ride) at some point, or am I misremembering?

I think he had gemstones in his eyes at one point, echoing the ride.
ETA: And echoing the original film, of course!

I just asked Google the following: "Is the cgi in snow white sharp or blurry?"
Here's how it answered:
I then asked: "is the cgi in snow white blurry?"
To which it replied:
Despite being obtained within seconds of each other, these responses are wildly contradictory, underscoring how pointless and lacking in value the new AI "feature" is. What's wrong with using our own minds and eyes? I don't need a bot to tell me what I can plainly see.
Here's how it answered:
The CGI in the 2023 Disney's Snow White movie is generally considered sharp and detailed. The film utilizes cutting-edge visual effects to bring the story to life, and while some elements might have a slight "cheating" or "blur" effect to maintain the look of a fairytale, the overall CGI is highly detailed and visually impressive.
I then asked: "is the cgi in snow white blurry?"
To which it replied:
Yes, many viewers find the CGI in Disney's live-action "Snow White" (2025) to be blurry or poorly rendered, particularly concerning the Seven Dwarfs. The CGI dwarfs have been a source of criticism, with many finding their appearance creepy or unnerving.

Agreed. I would only use it for hard facts.

Beware of using it for that too. It's made many mistakes whenever I've checked what it tells me (I normally ignore it altogether, but sometimes I read it out of curiosity). It's best to bypass the AI summary and head straight to the actual search results for answers.

So unless I am an expert in a subject I can’t have an opinion?
If I find the food in a restaurant bad I can’t criticize it cause I’m not a chef?
I can’t complain of sound quality during a call because I am not a sound engineer?
I can’t say a game filled with bugs is bad because I am not a game developer or full time gamer?
Honestly the best compliment is when someone who has no idea about what you do compliments your work. Not because technicality / composition / whatever, but because they thought it was pleasant and gave them happiness at that point.
On a slight tangent, with some of the crap that people pass as art today, I am glad I’m not an “expert”, so I don’t have to fake liking some stuff.

No one claimed someone can’t have an opinion because they aren’t an expert. But claims were made about the technical aspects of the movie only to be shown that the person didn’t know what they were talking about once those claimed were refuted. Only to have those claims doubled down to trying to save face, ie they are no longer opinions they are just being critical without knowledge of the topic in which they’re making claims.
So having an opinion is fine provided it’s of the understanding it’s an uninformed opinion. And that one who understands the topic should be able to provide better context and understanding, ie the uninformed should be able to learn provided they are willing and not just digging their heels to be argumentative.

The Secret Of NIMH is a favorite of mine. One of the first full-length animated films I saw when little, and it really pulled me into the art of animated fantasy. Dark and creepy at times, but altogether a beautifully made piece of storytelling.
Mrs. Brisbee was a very well-crafted lead protagonist. The crow was a lot of fun, kinda like the animated Genie... he was a LOT, but stopped just borderline of being too obnoxious. The main villain (Jenner?) had the character and mannerisms to stand toe-to-toe with many of the Disney memorable villains such as Jafar, Maleficent, Scar, etc. As far as evil rats go, I liked Jenner much better than Ratigan from Great Mouse Detective. It's a great animated movie that holds strong even today, imo. Also to add, the musical score is very haunting yet beautiful, and always stuck with me.

Don’t do that. It pulls info from a variety of sources, usually the ones with the most hits, without weighing them for the source.
For instance, it will tell you that certain over the counter meds are safe for people with high blood pressure, but actual medical websites, as well as the pharmaceutical manufacturer, and your doctor will say otherwise.
The meds may be safe-ER, but not safe.
I’ve encountered quite a few incorrect results. It’s now turned off for me.
