With a short theatrical run and a new configuration, Adult Swim's 'Primal' makes it into Oscar contention.
When the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the 32 films vying for a coveted Oscar nomination in the animated feature category, one film, “Genndy Tartakovsky’s ‘Primal’ — Tales of Savagery,” stood out. Not for its lengthy title but because it’s the first time Adult Swim, the late-night block of programming on Cartoon Network, found one of its programs in the race.
With a fresh take, the director aged the child into an adult prehistoric man named Spear and paired him with Fang, a vicious yet perceptive T-Rex-ish dinosaur in an emotional allegory that explores loss, friendship and survival without spoken dialect.“Primal” saw its five-episode TV premiere in October, but for the Oscars it was packaged into a four-part epic where fans lucky enough got to see it on the big screen at the Downtown Independent theater in downtown L.A.
“Initially, we were more on the cartoon end of design but it felt wrong. We went to a more illustrative, comic book feel but not too realistic. We had to find a very particular tone and feel for this story,” explains Tartakovsky.For Fang, the challenge was illustrating the right kind of emotion. The team had to create a new kind of language the director hadn’t used before in order to detail different poses or express moments of sadness or happiness.

New Music Reviews: The Weeknd, Taylor Swift, CL, Harry Styles & 1DNah: Taylor Swift, “Christmas Tree Farm” - “My heart is a Christmas tree farm, there’s a light in the barn,” sings Taylor Alison Swift in a “surprise” single released for no real reason other than it is practically Christmas and she feels the need to remind us that she maybe grew up on a Christmas tree farm? In the spirit of generosity, I will say that it is always endearing to see grainy camcorder footage of children, but I also don’t buy this story that she grew up on a Christmas tree farm. However, as far as Christmas songs go, I look forward to hearing this soundtrack panicked late-night shopping sprees at a 24-hour Sephora, purchasing mini NARS Orgasm blushes to stuff in the stockings of my ungrateful sisters. —Megan Reynolds
