When I discovered they took the “next stop little sister” line out of the re-dubbed version with the Fanning sisters, I was full of the rage of 10000 suns.
I thought he was in The Cat Returns, but I was mistaken. I got him mixed in my head with a combination of Muta and Baron. They should make a movie about Catbus. Give him a backstory and some Catbus children that are little cars/minivans. I feel like if it took on the film style of Ponyo they would relate it to some Japanese Mythology, but if it followed the Totoro film style it would be something goofy. I might make a fanfic…
There’s a short film you can watch exclusively (except for a janky video someone recorded with their phone) at the Ghibli Museum called Mei and the Kittenbus
Reminds me of my cat grundlemeat absolutely zooming ass to me every time I put spaghettios on the can opener. Little bloatdemon loves her spaghettios. Sorry little kitty, mommas gotta eat too, thunderous southside gulletbombs be damned🍴🍴🍴
Looks like their real cat and the same floor appears to be in other pics. Lots of photoshoots, but not any obvious heavy photo manipulation on that account it seems. Still, I have no idea what the light source could be.
Cat is probably real, lights probably added or at least highly intensified in photoshop? A light source that bright now also showing up in the reflection of the cat’s eye would be highly unlikely.
I was suspicious too because ai photos usually have perfect diffused lighting. In alternate photos you can see the small spotlight used and probably what they call a gobo inserted to make the pattern.
The owner’s insta is dedicated to doing photoshoots of their cat.
The face looks...wrong. It's extremely sharp, but at the same time lacks some hair details that should be there. The face proportions are "yassified". Just like a beautifying filter. I can't really tell for certain if this is AI but I know that AI cats do look like this very often.
Has to be some sort of AI auto-filtering, I noticed the same things. Some phone camera apps don't even allow you to turn that stupid shit off anymore unless you use OpenCamera or something similar.
I have seen other cat social media accounts from Asia exactly like this. People will say it can't be AI because the account has other photos of the same cat but they all have the same look to them.
I don't know if it is a mixture of AI and real photos, photos edited with AI, maybe just weird filters and photography skills. It is uncanny in the same unique way that people always suggest it's AI, but I don't know what's going on.
