IIRC, Brave marked a huge increase in necessary computing power for animation on account of how amazingly Merida's hair was rendered.

I really must see that movie! I could climb that high but can't climb down - that terrifies me.

Her Wokedness, Sister Artemis's avatar

Truly one of the most amazing works I've ever read - or at least the first two of the trilogy were. The third one went off the rails, imho, and when I mentioned that to the guy who turned me onto the series, he said (and I have not verified) that Peake wrote it when suffering brain damage from syphilis. Could have been true, could have been my friend bullshitting me, but it's definitely different than the first two books.

Wife and I were fantasy historians and fanatics. She did her library masters as a content analysis of heroic fantasies. Interviewed L. Sprague de Camp, back in the day. We agree with your opinion about Peake and Gormenghast.

Ahh. I thought maybe his dad had recently gotten married, and the new mom had a sister, and this was for the step-aunt?
