While I don’t like the Ellisons and what they’re doing at Paramount Skydance, I don’t want Paramount the STUDIO to shut down just because I dislike the Ellisons. They just need to not merge with WB and focus on exciting films again. This studio and its legacy deserve better.

We lost a battle, but the war isn't over. It's time for the state attorney generals and foreign regulators to step in and block this takeover. #BlockTheMerger

Barnyard rap, huh?

Smurfs, Angry Birds, Sonic, Street Fighter, and Heart Eyes. All once were in the hands of Sony Pictures but went to Paramount, either before they were released or after Sony released a prior installment.

Just watched Under the Boardwalk. I liked the characters, I liked the humor and I didn't even know it was a musical so that was a pleasant surprise. Overlooked gem from Paramount Animation.

Since Bugs Bunny is in this, I hope he has some fun interactions with Wile E., since they've interacted in the original shorts before (an UNDERRATED Looney Tunes pairing btw)

Coyote vs Acme is thankfully going the Back in Action route, where the Looney Tunes characters are spread out to have them feel as close to the original personalities and dynamics as possible, as opposed to Space Jam's ensemble (in A New Legacy's case, "family") route.

I don’t “network,” I make friends. Other artists are not my competition, they’re my beloved peers and sources of inspiration. We all have the same goal; to share our art. I’m not gonna corporatize my human relationships with them. I am in my sandbox playing and I hope they join me.

I missed when Nickelodeon Movies looked like this btw

Revisiting a childhood classic

How the hell does this prick still have a platform?

This film was originally gonna come out in 2026, which would've been 20 years after the original 30-second Gummibär video, but now it's coming out in 2027, which is the 20th anniversary of the full-length music video.

I wonder how Fox reacted when he discovered that he can’t suffocate in space in Mario’s universe unlike in Lylat (he doesn’t cover himself in the Arwing until his last shot before going home). It’d probably be something like Buzz in Toy Story when Woody takes off his helmet lol

A rare moment where a "modern" meme achieved long term success. I guarantee y'all Sneakers O'Toole will be forgotten by August. Steamed Hams however manages to live forever amongst others of the library due to its YTP-level flexibility and how the original scene is really funny to begin with.

Letterboxd users, how much have you seen from the Comprehensive Animation List?

The director of ChaO, Yasuhiro Aoki, actually acknowledged in one interview that her fish form was seen as “cuter” than her more “human” design by most who saw it, like how with Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, most fans preferred the Beast’s “beast” look over his human form.

Today is the 30th anniversary of Steamed Hams!

What’s dumb about the Avatar Aang leak thing is that the trailer wouldn’t have even dropped until 2 months before the October release on Paramount+. That’s 4 months of waiting for an official trailer after it had leaked. They should just release the film in the summer at this point. Screw it.

There's only ONE movie in theatres that celebrates human/mermaid love. 💖 Catch ChaO, the zany aquatic romance from Yasuhiro Aoki and STUDIO4ºC, now playing. Be sure to rate and review on @letterboxd.social! ⭐️ brnw.ch/21wZRt8

The most intriguing part is that this will be the first Paramount animated film since 2011’s Rango and Tintin that’s helmed by a live-action director making his animation directing debut. It could lead to something refreshing and cool like those two. We’ll have to wait and see.

I have seen Chao twice now and if the weekend wasn't over I'd see it a third time Beautiful fish wife with her stupid big shoes <3 It's such a good time

I hope they play the Forgotten Island trailer so that we get to see “Who Let the Dogs Out” be referenced in an upcoming film, followed up by the film that popularized it

Rugrats in Paris is coming back to select Regal cinemas in the U.S. on April 18 & 19 for about $5 a ticket! I gotta make some time to see this rerelease. I MUST see that Klasky-Csupo logo on the big screen!

Character I love and 5 moots to post theirs @untitledjunk.bsky.social @studiozolo.bsky.social @tlmylm2002.bsky.social @trashmaxine.bsky.social @thunderquartz.bsky.social

She’s especially really cute here omg

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to stop thinking about how beautiful Chao looks as both a fish and a mermaid.

That was wonderful!

I’m now seated for the human and fish romcom anime

Ew, why is there an AI picture of Smurfs and Mutant Mayhem Raph as a link for Animation Careers?

Paramount Animation's website has been officially removed and has become a section of the main Paramount Pictures site instead. This was inevitable, as the previous site hadn't been updated since Transformers One was released in September 2024, besides rare job listings.

I made a shocking discovery while watching Star Fox Adventures footage

Happy birthday @benimated.bsky.social!

I’m ready youtu.be/ARmM-Lvm4fI?...

While there is the elephant in the room (Skydance), I must say, I dig the designs, especially the humans like Raymond Gunn. They look nothing like the humans from Bird’s Incredibles and Ratatouille, or Skydance’s previous projects. A 2D film would’ve been cool, but I like this.

TIL WordWorld got a remake in Brazil called “Planeta Palavra”, where the characters are made of Portuguese words. Makes sense because the original show was built on using the English language, so it wouldn’t translate well through simply dubbing.

So sad that this happened, because not only were there 450 people at the studio at the time of its closure, but Blue Sky was the sole major animated film studio located on the East Coast of the US. It allowed a certain degree of freedom from typical Hollywood studio drama.

We got some heartbreaking news. Gary Goldman, known for being Don Bluth's animation partner, is suffering from dementia. His wife Cathy needs all the financial help she can get to take care of him. If you'd like to help out, there's a GoFundMe where you can donate. www.gofundme.com/f/support-ga...

I wonder what Sandy Cheeks thinks of Buc-ee's, Dr. Pepper and Whataburger lol

Even if he's bluffing, the man running the country shouldn't be making threats like this and be allowed to keep his position.

It’s so fucked that our President can just say things like “a whole civilization will die tonight” and people will still choose to support him unironically.

I really like it when Nintendo releases consoles with designs based on other consoles. This is the Famicom version of the GBA Sp, and it’s awesome!

I learned from some moots today that Mike Moon left Illumination for Sony back in 2024, meaning that Moonlight is most likely dead. God. Damn. It.

Hope you all had a good Easter!

Universal Parks has the opportunity of a lifetime to top Disney’s Nick Wilde meet & greet costume by putting Fox McCloud at Super Nintendo World!
