Cartoon Saloon: An Irish Animation Studio that Needs More Attention
Cartoon Saloon is an animation studio that should be appreciated more. They tell unique stories with unique animation, proving that 2D animation is still alive and well.

This film shows that today's youth can live in shabby dwellings, frequent noisy bars, and also go to school. We encounter the central character, Oskar, in two stages of development: in the first, he drinks himself into a stupor out of unhappy love, mourns the lover who broke up with him, and makes futile attempts to win her back. In the second part of the story, he pulls himself together, devotes himself to sports and working out at the gym, clarifies his priorities in life, and successfully arranges for computers to be put into operation. But soon, bored, lonely women begin to value things other than knowledge, and Oskar gradually becomes a sexual predator.

Do not trust Rotten Tomatoes. That is what I learned after watching Eternals. Critics currently rate it a 48%, but it's an amazing character-focused Marvel movie with positive diverse representation.
Outer Banks (2020-) knows its audience: young adults in a country that can’t stop romanticizing good ole’ treasure hunts. Add a little of Riverdale’s (2017-) sex appeal, and no one can look away. Forty years after The Goonies (1985) America’s consciousness hasn’t strayed from the same tropes: treasure hunts, a vulnerable white male lead, and the whitewashing of a racially segregated setting.
