Time to check out this testament. #filmsky #searchlightpictures

And this is why I buy movies from deaf crocodile, because they are cool as hell.

By the way, Lesbian Space Princess is one of the funniest movies of last year and probably the funniest animated movie of last year. Please watch it or buy the blu ray in February or from Umbrella Entertainment

This is why I’m thankful for companies like Netflix, gkids, and a few others like Neon who will still give out screeners, but it has gotten exponentially more tedious when companies like Neon make it hard as hell to contact them.

This absolutely infuriates me and makes me yearn for the time of COVID access where studios actually cared about more than LA-based critics seeing their movie

Gonna see if this thing is on or not. #filmsky #isthisthingon #bradleycooper #willarnett #lauradern

Animation fans are getting mad at indie animation for all the wrong reasons. It's not bad that animation takes a lot of time to get made. It's not bad that Glitch or Spindlehorse sells merchandise to help fund their shows. A lot of y'all are wasting air going after the wrong aspects.

Time to keep playing catch up with a very Ari Aster western #filmsky #eddington #pedropascal #A24

I’m playing some catch up from 2025. I hope we were born to run. #filmsky #jeremyallenwhite

While I wasn’t the biggest fan of Sentimental Values, let’s not go down the route that it’s this year’s Emilia Perez. Emilia Perez wasn’t good. Sentimental Values at worst is the safe bet Best Foreign Feature. I think it’s the most generic film of Neons awards goers but it isn’t a bad movie.

Enjoy a brand new episode of Renegade Animation! This time, @camseyeview.biz, @crazylemur.bsky.social, and I share our thoughts on Fureru, and All You Need is Kill!

Time to see one of the last Best Foreign Features noms that I need to see before the Oscars. #filmsky #freepalestine #thevoiceofhindrajab

2025 was especially a year where creativity in US based feature animation felt broken and extremely middling. If the overseas features weren’t brought over, I would argue 2025 would be one of the worst years for animation. Carlos is right on the money.

I think Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Part 1 fans need to realize that the film was never going to have a chance of being nominated at the Oscars. The academy has always, even if it's very little, cared more about "original" Japanese animated projects over franchise stuff.

Really glad my tin foil conspiracy of Elio getting a To Leslie-style redemption tour was actually not that far fetched. Should have gone to 100 Meters though.

Time to finally see if this Marty is supreme or normal. #martysupreme #filmsky #A24 #timotheechalamet #joshsadfie

It’s great when we can get early ideas of what’s coming out this year for animation. This looks visually stunning.

RT if you’ve never had a tab of ChatGPT open, period.

You can tell we are about to have bad weather in Texas because of the man made of objectively literal pig vomit overly stuffed into a tube sock Ted Cruz some again abandoning his state despite the fact he should technically be helping it.

Time to check out some zombies, idols, and aliens! Luckily, they are all in the Saga prefecture of Japan! #animesky #crunchyroll #anime #zombielandsaga

I want to hear us discuss Lupin the third, and a little bit about @gkids.com bringing over the new Shaun the Sheep? We’ll take a listen!

Saddened by the passing of director Roger Allers, who will certainly be remembered by THE LION KING. But I also love his ambitious omnibus project KAHLIL GIBRAN’S THE PROPHET, where he brought together animators from around the world including Tomm Moore and Bill Plympton. RIP

It’s Sunday and the world is burning, but you can’t fight if you’re burned out, so take care of yourself. Read. Create. Check on your friends and family. Spend time with your pet. Go for a walk. Watch a movie. Eat tacos. Hope you have a good one.

I really need a lot of YouTube essayists to really stop using the "YouTube video Essay voice". I understand you are trying to sound professional with your videos, but you sound unnatural, and it's way more distracting than it is engaging. It's so bad sometimes.

All you need is love to kill. Second time seeing this movie since Animation is Film. #allyouneediskill @gkids.com

I love Medalist, but I do find it hilarious that Medalist can get a movie first, but Yuri on Ice has basically struggled and given up on ever getting a movie.

Seriously, if you haven't seen the two recent CGI films, or the The Big Fight adaptation on Netflix, they are wildly charming and creative. Also, the dub for the films has some noticeable voice actors for those that are fans of Canadian dubs for anime and Ed, Edd, n Eddy.

We have been watching all of the Asterix and Obilex animated movies and shows we can and this is my new favorote big boy in media! (Also, if an ANNO 117 dev follows me, did y'all get inspiration from the series?)

Everyone should be sending Alamo Drafthouse emails nonstop about how bad their new mobile-only ordering is. It's really bad that they are doing this, y'all. Or just don't order anything, or be cheap af and just order a water before the movie. This is such an asinine decision.

A huge misconception bad animation fans have is that everything needs to be fluid and animated at 24+ frames at all times when animation can be wonderful at any budget or frame rate if you got amazing and well timed execution of your limited animation. Always a great example of how less is more.

I would feel bad that Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, died, but I don't care. I'm more focused on making a fun editorial about the fact that Elio has had a bit of a redemption tour, and that's taking up more precious space in my brain than some mediocre guy who died mad that people hated him.

Time to see what’s attached to this dead man’s wire. #deadmanswire #film #filmsky

Watching Zombieland Saga to prep for the movie. Imagine getting hit by a truck in an anime but instead of being sent to a fantasy world, you get enrolled as an idol in a literal zombie idol group and metaphorically worked to death in the brutal and horrifying idol industry.

Even if the director is stepping back lightly due to burnout from S1, I'm still hyped for Frieren S2. But the industry 100% shouldn't be burning out its talent through absurdly unrealistic and brutal working conditions. I would rather wait longer if it meant the creatives were paid/treated better.

Enjoy a brand new episode of Renegade Animation! This time, @camseyeview.biz, @crazylemur.bsky.social, and I share our thoughts on the nominees for the 53rd Annie Awards, plus a little 2025 catch-up!

I understand if they couldn't get the rights to them fully, but it's a shame GKIDS couldn't do a big Whole Bloody Affair release of the Lupin IIIrd Specials that lead up to The Immortal Bloodline. You must see those specials before the movie.

Hey, Alamo Drafthouse. The entire reason people go to Alamo Drafthouse is the fact that people get reprimanded for TAKING THEIR PHONES OUT DURING THE MOVIE. No one wants this. No one wants to see people's phones lighting up in the theater. Just pay your damn employees better.

It's great that folks are finally able to see this. Too bad most critics groups and most folks ignored it until it got a release back at the literal end of 2025 on Netflix. It truly deserves more award noms than most films getting the nominations this year live-action and animation-based.

When I was at Animation is Film, this short played in front of Little Amelie and made for a great companion piece for that movie. A really ethereal short that is full of charm. Definitely give it a watch.

"100 Meters" is currently the 6th most-watched non-English film worldwide on Netflix 🏃 x.com/NetflixAnime...

It's funny, every time Rob Schneider opens his mouth, he never says anything correct. Plenty of republican-leaning actors are still getting work. You just suck as a person and as an actor. People just don't give a shit about you dude. He should get a real job.

Just got done watching train dreams and now onto my next catch up movie. #filmsky #jaykelly

As a writer and observer of animation and awards season, it is kind of wild to see Elio get some kind of nomination across awards like Pixar and Disney were trying to give it a To Leslie-style redemption tour with how many times I have seen that film pop up.

First major animated film release of the new year! Glad it’s with the notorious thief Lupin III

Last theatrical animated film of 2025 I need to see..let’s see spongey and square. #animationsky #filmsky

"100 Meters" is now available on Netflix. I think back fondly on the first film by Kenji Iwaisawa, "On-Gaku". Long live rotoscoping and its many possibilities.
