Ah, didn't know that. Even though Sonic turned out to be trash, so not a great companion lol. Maybe they got overzealous after seeing how well dog movies do, so went above and beyond on the budget.
When did Clint Eastwood movies began being conservative propaganda?
So when they make a joke about this at the Oscars or some other award show, will the poor CGI artists rise up? Again?
That's...not how that works. We do stunts with human actors that are un-doable all the time, they don't just cast an entire CG character because of that alone though.
What part of the scenes in OP are safety issues? The paper in it's mouth seems hardly inhumane.
Well I'm glad you have a good understanding of logistics, production, and animal actors.
How long have we been doing low budget dog movies with real dogs?
They couldn't have "just shelved the movie." A major Hollywood movie is rarely allowed to be shelved these days thanks to shareholders and producers so I doubt they considered that as an option at all since there were no controversies around the project. They likely couldn't have shelved it without a severe issue as the reason and iffy CGI is just not at all relevant.
