Doesn’t matter. He’s still complaining about his own film to reporters. Does he need a lesson in public speaking like you all said Rachel Zegler needs? And how bout all these people?

The difference around here is that Wonka is not a Disney movie

But he isn't complaining about the film, he's complaining about a technique used to make a film. There is a difference. It also shows that the media isn't just trying to make Disney look bad. They try to make anyone they can look bad. It's a very click bait article. It's just amplified with Disney as they are by far the dominant name in film.

But to be clear, anyone talking down about an ip they are about to star in should most definitely be talked to and criticized. It's irrelevant if it's Disney or not. I was highly critical of Ewan when he was talking down about being in star wars.... Be happy you had the opportunity to be in something with such name power. It's the classy way to go.

Walt probably used a lot of outdated terminology, when you stop and think about it. I’ll refrain from suggesting what those might have been.
OK, but my point was that "cartoon" is a perfectly acceptable way to refer to an animated feature film. "Cartoon feature" is the standard term used on Disney film posters into the '70s.

And I had a gay old time at the mall today.
The difference is that people actually still use "cartoon" to mean "animated feature". I know some here look down on the usage, but it's alive and kicking. You yourself employ it (as do I):

People/ families opposed to this kind of stuff in childrens cartoons were on high alert after Lightyear.
I had whatever cartoons were playing on regular TV and whatever VHS’s I owned. This allowed me to be impacted by those early films almost as much as the generations that came before me.

Cartoon has a different connotation now. I’d say most people are referring to cartoon TV show episodes (aimed mostly at children) when they use the word. In your first example I used “cartoon” as a way to strengthen my point by picking a word that that would be most closely associated with children, youth and innocence.

Even shorts people just refer to as shorts not really cartoons.

You now what's worse than calling animation a 'cartoon'?

Calling a film a 'movie.'

Yes. The pictures *move*! Here's a cookie.

This is almost as dreadful as calling a Broadway cast recording a 'soundtrack.' <shudder>

However much you seek to explain it away, Zegler, you, and I have all used "cartoon" to refer to animated features. Perhaps some regard it as improper and old-fashioned, but I assume that Zegler, who's about half my age, isn't speaking some outdated register of English with deliberate archaisms.

The plural of vinyl is vinyl.

Never in the 70s/80s were multiple records called vinyls. Records, LPs, albums. There is one vinyl record; there is a collection of vinyl.

Today, for some reason, “vinyls” is increasing in use.
I call them “records” anyway, but “vinyls” doesn’t sound egregious or even objectionable to me. But again, it’s nothing I would say in the first place, and I respect your feelings as someone in the industry.
