No idea what Toy Story 25 nor the Odyssey film is like, but if the latter is even remotely close to a good translation of the original, it's going to be amazing.
Finished Emily Wilson's translation of the Odyssey recently and loved it. Just in case, y'know, you want to read something older than the country you happen to live in... 😄

If you haven't already, give EPIC: The Musical a listen/watch. Guy went and made an entire musical based on The Odyssey. Had basic storyboards commissioned, and fans have made their own animations. The link is just a bunch of animations sewed together from several artists. Some of the animations are straight up amazing, and most of the songs are excellent. 2 hours well spent, in my opinion.

I only skimmed it, but that was a LOT of autotune.

Ngl, Toy Story 5 is a really good one (out of Pixar movies)

I saw Odyssey a few days ago. Very mixed feelings about it.
On the one hand, story and cinematography are great. Some parts had me quite emotional, especially that one part. The cyclops was also great.
But costumes, sets, and dialogue was... Inauthentic. It kinda looked like one of those cheap fantasy TV series but with cinema quality camera work and lighting.
