I was very excited to review this article, especially of a subject that's a rare masterpiece of a fourth film in a series (although honestly I though it was just good). However, I have to quickfail this for a very, VERY major flaw:

The production section includes sub-sections about the development and casting, as well as its soundtrack, but no full section about the...... you know... production, specifically the animation. Its animation process has been majorly documented in Computer Graphics World ([1] [2]), Business Insider ([3] [4]) The Verge ([5]), Creative Bloq ([6]), Animation World Network ([7]), the View Conference ([8]), Siggraph 2019 ([9]), The Independent ([10]), a Yale University Computer Science publication ([11]), Nerds and Beyond ([12]), Screen Daily ([13]), American Cinematographer ([14]) AMC Scene ([15]) The New York Times ([16]), Animation Boss ([17]), Post magazine ([18]), SideFX ([19]), Glocomp ([20]), FX guide ([21]), IBC ([22]), Blackfilm ([23]), Scotland ([24]) Allears ([25]), Newsweek ([26]), The Toronto Star ([27]), Awards Daily ([28]), Buzzfeed ([29]), and two entire friggin' books about not just the production but other fun facts and references. There's so much from these sources alone, including how specific characters were animated, how the series' animation has progressed, challenges, freaking hairs on a character, rain, how the animators tried to make it look like a real-life film, and that's just scratching the surface. I know the GA criteria only required summaries of important parts of a topic at least, and this (especially since its by the God of computer animation, Pixar) is a very, VERY important part of the film.

For this reason (plus the fact that several publication names are formatted incorrectly in ".net" and ".com" forms in the citations), this article has to be postponed for a GA review. I hope its added given what's in those sources, but until then, this article has failed. HumanxAnthro (talk) 07:19, 28 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
