Now I am just wondering why they went to all that effort instead of releasing, y'know their own cars.

They did, but the US models were more expensive, underspec and poorly built in comparison to the Euro models at the time.

omg, a serial killer sloth?!? Now I definitely gotta see that! Back in the 1980's after I just got married, my wife's nickname for me was Sloth, and I even had a vanity license plate with my nickname on my car - a "pimped-out" 1983 Renault Le Car!
Blown up or not, any Renault 5 is a thing of beauty (especially the turbo)! I'm jealous of Le Car - did you hold on to it by any chance?Ah Renault that brings back some nostalgia
At the end of the eighties I drove around in a red Renault 5 Turbo. Those things were not limited on the engine, meaning if you did go wild with it, you just would blow up the engine. Renault once did a survey on this 5 Turbo and it’s bigger sibling the 9 Turbo and the results were staggering as 50% was already broken after being in use for one year, due to the driver handling (or lack thereof)

I had that car until the late 1990's, and then sold it to the next door neighbor whose 16 year old daughter was looking for a first car. I didn't want to get rid of it, but my wife and I had two other newer cars and we had just bought a new '98 Dodge Ram pickup, so I had to get rid of something. At least I could still look at it parked next door in their driveway, lol.

Heheh I know the feeling, we sold my wife's Mini (that I got very attached to) to friend so I still got to see it until they got rid

A big article about The Boy and The Heron.

The Boy and the Heron: Inside the dark heart of Studio Ghibli's latest animated masterpiece
Studio Ghibli legend Hayao Miyazaki's new film The Boy and The Heron is said to be his last – and it feels like a farewell. But is it really the end for him, asks Stephen Kelly.

‘I’m really serious this time!’: have Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli made their final masterpiece?
The veteran animation genius has said he’s retiring – but as he’s changed his mind before, should anyone take his word for it? We travel to Ghibli HQ in Tokyo to find out what’s going on

I did not care for The Boy and the Heron at all, I'd rather see Suzume win a few good awards - although I don't give a rip about any animation awards in the Oscars, that's such a joke.
You might be luck then as Suzume, as well as The Boy and the Heron, have been nominated for the Golden Globes.
ETA: The Boy and the Heron is actually up for two Golden Globes. While both and Suzume are up for best animated film, Heron is also up for best original score.

Its not even a competition regardless of what anybody thinks despite the reported work conditions and arguably janky animation they had to fix for the home release.
THE ONE PIECE has been officially announced during Jump Festa 2024. This is a remake of the East Blue saga which will not only be adapted by WIT Studio but will also be streaming exclusively on Netflix.

Has any other show or movie franchise ever embarked on a remake while the original is still in production?

I have tried watching the One Piece anime a good few times, but each time I end up dropping it because it is such a slog and the pacing is truly awful in places.
I purchased the entire run of the manga (so far, up to vol 104) and it's much more enjoyable than the anime. No filler, no stupid padded out fights. Will be nice to see a higher quality and more accurate adaptation of the manga; hopefully they can remake the entire series.

If you watch endless eight, eight times they announce a new season.
