Not shocked about Elio being here like most people in the quotes/replies. Outside Good Dinosaur, Pixar’s originals tend to be favored by the Academy compared to most DreamWorks films or anime films not associated with Miyazaki.

Just saw Charlie the Wonderdog. Spoiler alert: He never said “Wow”, just a few uses of “Woah”. There were references to AI, fidget spinners, cancel culture, that bouncing DVD logo, and a dog who identifies as a cat.

TIL there’s ANOTHER mouse in the Mickey Mouse extended universe named Mortimer (this one is Minnie’s uncle).

This movie had no updates since 2019 when Paramount Animation’s 2017-2021 president Mireille Soria announced it. I assumed it was cancelled when Ramsey Naito took over. Since Jennifer Dodge is now in her second week at PA, there’s hope for the other many films in development.

The studio distributing Wildwood? Fathom Entertainment! They apparently want to expand outside of limited rereleases of classic movies, and the rereleases of ParaNorman and ESPECIALLY Coraline satisfied them enough to take on Laika’s newest sure-to-be banger.

I loved The Lion King since I was a kid and I have a soft spot for Open Season, so I’m sad to see that Roger Allers has passed away. RIP, legend.

I just saw that Roger Allers passed away at the age of 76 and I'm devastated. Roger was one of the most important people behind the Disney Renaissance at Disney Animation which included storyboarding a lot of films and co-directing The Lion King. What an incredible legacy.

That was fun

Time to merge without looking

Zoop is genuinely fun. I got to play it on an actual SNES at a game store one time. I think Paramount/Viacom still owns the rights to this IP. I would like to see it come back in some way. An arcade or mobile version would go hard. Or a remake for consoles/PC with added modes and multiplayer.

I saw Marty Supreme and IT WAS AMAZING! This one of those movies where even though I was reclined in my seat for most of it, I had to put my seat back to normal near the end so I can be on the edge of it. It was that exciting while also being funny. New favorite 2025 film!

Not enough people bring up how Joe Ranft’s death in 2005 (and later Steve Jobs in 2011) caused Lasseter’s downfall alongside money/fame getting to his head. Ranft was an animator/writer who brought his writing experience to Pixar for Toy Story. He was also described as Lasseter’s “Jiminy Cricket”.

I didn't like all of Robbins' choices at Paramount, but he's a competent businessman who knew where young viewers were gravitating towards for entertainment before many other executives did. I can see Ramsey Naito reuniting with him on the animation side. It could help Sony.

Norm Of The North is now officially a decade old Repost if you’re a true normie

Also yes, 18Hz is the production studio owned by the former DC Studios head Walter Hamada that’s set up to be Paramount’s equivalent of Jason Blum’s Blumhouse at Universal. It was also supposed to make the R-rated TMNT film The Last Ronin before Skydance cancelled it :(

Primate is a fun gore-filled piece of monke cinema for the whole family :)

These four are games I find myself replaying very often. I love all of these games with all my heart.

If the 2020s pattern continues where the Oscar/Globe BAF winners are the same, then KPop Demon Hunters has the Oscar in the bag… but Little Amelie could pull an upset since the Oscars have given love to non-American animation after Encanto. I’ll still be happy for whatever wins

At first I was like, “Oh, this clip seems normal, why is it posted here?” Then the last 2 seconds happened.

The weirdest concept art piece for this pitch by far is Kowalski having an anime body pillow

TIL there was a recent pitch to DreamWorks Television Animation for a Penguins of Madagascar revival from a visual development artist behind Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. It was ultimately rejected by DreamWorks. Man… we were robbed.

"Pastoral Motif 2" by Richard Grassby-Lewis is a memorable little tune.

At least a Flying Bark Productions animated movie is being released by Paramount into theaters *cough* AANG *cough*

Guys look what channel they’re playing at the bowling alley

I finally saw SpongeBob big guy pants okay

Bimbo actually had various designs during the 1930-1931 period of the Fleischers’ Talkartoon series, as the studio was younger and didn’t take character design continuity that seriously then. Here are the various Bimbo designs from this period besides Dizzy Dishes:

The original Betty Boop cartoon Dizzy Dishes has officially reached the public domain and therefore the short can be watched in full on Wikipedia (with a seemingly new music track being placed during the post-Paramount distributor UM&M’s logo).

Happy new year everybody!! #Hello2026

Me to 2025:

Would Sonic Xtreme have been a good Sonic game and a strong start for his 3D career? Probably not, but man, seeing trippy gameplay footage like this is hypnotizing, and it makes me believe Xtreme at the very least would've been a unique Sonic experience.

Some of the show requests for the MeTV Toons channel are so unfitting, it makes me wonder how many people actually understand the channel's purpose when requesting a show, which is to showcase old-school cartoon classics Just today I saw someone wanting SMG4/Glitch's videos to be on the channel💀💀💀

This video that I made is now 2 years old and I really want to make a follow-up to it given what’s happening right now with Warner Bros that made this video age surprisingly well.

To Looney Tunes fans: If you want a really good documentary series on YouTube that covers the full history of the franchise, I cannot recommend “The Merry History of Looney Tunes” by @kaiserbeamz.bsky.social enough! I’m about 1/3 into the last episode that got uploaded today!

Someone should take away my laptop privileges youtu.be/Ue6aWrrJ3_U?...

Chinese food is usually the only thing you could get on Christmas Day in terms of restaurants, so that as me and my family’s dinner it is!

This mouse girl’s name is actually “Charles de Girl”.

Merry Christmas!

"I don't care what anyone says, I like this movie."

Coming tomorrow. Merry Christmas, ya filthy CGI animals.

Old cartoon credits are wild

Red One’s posters grouping the characters like this makes it look like a wannabe James Gunn superhero film, which is funny given how it’s actually just two of them (Johnson and Evans) who are consistently together.
