It's a goal of mine in 2025 to engage in more hands-on crafts and activities, reducing my time spent doom-scrolling. Looks like I'll need to pay a visit to the Button Factory! 😊
On the topic of Barbie, I wholeheartedly agree (though I know this isn't groundbreaking and aligns with the consensus) that films greatly benefit from thoughtful, realistic sets. While CGI is often more cost-effective, the care put into tangible, immersive environments can elevate the storytelling experience. I couldn't imagine Barbie relying heavily on CGI—it would have diminished the story's impact.
I love the way that it demonstrates love for the source material in every aspect of the film making. I didn't get a chance to talk about it in the essay, but Wicked was made with similar attention to detail, and the costumes were my favorite part!
Finally had time to read this. Loaded topic, but I agree with you for the most part. Though AI has valuable uses, it's robbing the world of human creativity and inspiration. Great research, too. I want to visit New Zealand.
New Zealand is so wonderful - I would truly recommend that everyone try to make it there to visit if they can, regardless of whether they're a Lord of the Rings fan. it's stunningly beautiful, and the people are the friendliest I've ever met.

A wonderful read as always, Melodie!
