The poster for Skydance Animation’s upcoming film Swapped looks gorgeous!!! I am very biased as there’s a lotta Blue Skyers on this one!! I like the old title Pookoo more but we are in an era of literal titles. 🤷‍♀️ Excited to see a what Nathan Greno’s got after Tangled + years in creative leadership.

I Am the Night: The Ultimate Unauthorized History of Batman: The Animated Series is both the story of the creation of a landmark cartoon (packed with new interviews with the folks who made it happen) and a deep dive into what it meant to both animation and the character of Batman. It drops on 9/1.

In honor of WB’s 11 Oscar wins, the studio celebrated with some cookies this morning. My group had nothing to do with these wins but it’s nice to be included 😝 I imagine the live action feature team will do more!!!

I can't think of a team more deserving of the kind of power that nights like tonight bestow in Hollywood than Michael and Ryan. And a big part of that is because they know what to do with it and what it means. The future is so bright for them. This too, is part of Chad's legacy. 🖤

THIS IS THE WAY. 🥹

I appreciate the dig at Adrien Brody lol. His speech last year did kind of put me off to him. BUT NOW IT'S A BIT THAT'S TOO LONG

Chloé Zhao is only the second woman (behind Jane Campion) to be nominated for best director twice #Oscars

Lord knows they'd never cut off PTA tho, WHICH THEY SHOULDN'T for him or anyone who wins. #oscars

STOP cutting off winners when you have so many terrible, long skits. #Oscars

I’ll never understand the #Oscars doing this every year. Everyone who wins should be able to speak — no one cares about the bits as much as we do the speeches. It’s uncoool every time.

The Oscars had a whole speech about how documentary directors are often at odds with their government and at risk of being murdered for their films. But Best International Films are still submitted by their governments, and the award goes to the country.

STOP UPSETTING THE BABY

If Avatar hadn't won, it would have been an insane thing for the VFX branch. Never mind that it's basically animated, every subsequent film in that series they significantly up the game, whether you care for them or not. Undeniable.

del Toro said he wants to work solely in animation now right? Is he ours yet?

A TIE!?!?!??!

OOO Oscars YouTube channel already has the first performance from Sinners and first award. Love when these awards shows don't sit on the clips, just throw them up ASAP! youtu.be/j3ae7BvTuC4?...

KPOP DEMON HUNTERS is the fourth non-Disney film to win the #Oscar  for Best Animated Feature after GUILLERMO DEL TORO’S PINOCCHIO, THE BOY AND THE HERON, and FLOW.

Very typical of the Oscars that Arnett's plea to protect animation from AI was admittedly part of a bit, but we'll take it.

While I was surprised at some of the Animated Shorts nominations when looking at the shortlist for the Oscars, The Girl Who Cried Pearls was my top choice for the Oscar. Such a beautiful film.

Still insane to me that Netflix/Sony didn't have a KPOP Demon Hunters show ready to go. How could they not see how this would have legs. All the way to the Oscars!!! So happy for y'all!

Paramount getting control of WB is a further descent into fascism. This isn’t about theatrical releases or physical media. This is about MAGA further controlling the news and Trump wedging his way into Hollywood influence. This is disastrous in ways that will be far-reaching.

Heard the fireworks, goodnight LA!

Undocumented immigrants contribute nearly $100 billion in taxes every year. Meanwhile, the wealthiest 1% dodge $163 billion in taxes annually. The real drain on America isn’t coming from the border — it’s coming from the boardroom.

thought this was really beautiful

wow, apparently Axios broke the story about Techcrunch being sold before Techcrunch employees were even told www.axios.com/2025/03/21/y...

I'm fortunate I got to board a fun stylized music-driven sequence under Alex Kirwan's direction, after we worked well together on the Witch Hazel cartoon for the shorts years ago. My drawings are so scribbly, I think I roughed it out in barely 2-3 days if I recall, no cleanup. But man, what a blast.

There were a lot of influences I looked at and felt inspired by before diving into the sequence. Bubsy Berkeley scenes, Oskar Fischinger, Boris Artzybasheff, sequences from Fantasia/Make Mine Music/Melody Time, Dumbo, Cinderella, Modern Times... lot of homages and little references here and there.

I wish I had more time to make my boards polished & pretty, but I guess there was enough information there to work off of, including Stephen DeStefano on designs, Joshua Moshier's incredible score & the amazing animators up at TonicDNA. They took my thumbnails and made a stunning sequence out of it!

I saw the new Looney Tunes movie tonight and I was blown away! A beautiful, hilarious work of art made by many talented people at their absolute best. Had to bust out the pen and paper because I was so inspired. Go see this movie if you love fun!

Monolith Productions was shut down by Warner Bros last month after 30 years of making unusual, ambitious games. @ricklane.bsky.social tells the studio's story and celebrates what it achieved with the people who were there: www.theguardian.com/games/2025/m...

I'm an experienced storyboard artist still looking for work! I have over 4 years of professional experience, and can hit the ground running as a revisionist or board artist. Past credits include Craig of the Creek, Apple & Onion, #1 Happy Family USA, and more! www.HannahLeeStockdale.com

Clearest proof yet that the Trump admin uses "DEI" to mean "nonwhite people doing something impressive and getting credit." Navajo Code Talkers made a big difference in WWII. The Axis had more trouble translating their language than cracking codes. And it's not like the Navajo owed the US anything.

AN UPDATE! Just got a great email from the folks at Ketchup, our distributor! The film WILL continue to play in theaters, through this coming weekend. Word of mouth & hype WORKS! So this week, make sure to get to the nearest theater, buy a ticket and support it during it's current release window!

Sigh…

Today's the big day! "The Day The Earth Blew Up" is finally out in theaters in the US & Canada! I hope you all go see the film and appreciate all the hard work each and every one put into this little film that could! It's rare to see a film like this make it on the big screen, so go and support it!

Y'ALL THERE'S LIMITED EDITION VINYL RECORDS FOR OUR LOONEY TUNES MOVIE???????

I'm Looking for work later this year July-ish. Please keep me in mind for Directing or Storyboard positions. I'm great at drawing feelings, I'm fast and nice to work with. I have LOTS of experience in adult AND kids. Portfolio is here or contact me for references or private portfolio. aimeemajor.com

After a two year battle, production management workers at Walt Disney Animation Studios have ratified their first union contract. The milestone contract marks the first time that production management at a feature animation studio have gained representation through The Animation Guild.

Ahh, the grand tradition of executives loading a once reputable brand up with debt, giving themselves huge bonuses, then driving a company into bankruptcy. Let the enshittification begin

‪Tickets for The Day the earth Blew Up are now available to buy! Y’all better buy these tickets and support this movie. I don’t wanna hear any whining about this film bombing or 2D animation “Dying” because you couldn’t be bothered to buy a ticket and see it in theaters ‬

Another one 🧐

Aaaand just saw that an incredibly talented friend was just laid off from Disney Vancouver. I don’t know why I’m shocked it started so fast. 😭 Thinking about y’all today.
