Okay as promised here’s my pick for classic animated shorts that have not yet been included in the National Film Registry… but in my opinion should:

Hey @support.bsky.team my friend Tony Goldmark had his account taken down by a troll. Please fix this.

Oh man that sucks bro.

Since the selections for the National Film Registry have just been selected, here’s a list of animated feature films, that haven’t yet been added to the Registry yet, that I feel should:

So I forgot to post about this but apparently The Incredibles was inducted into this year’s National Film Registry. While there are other animated features I would’ve picked over this one (Aladdin, Iron Giant, Finding Nemo, UP etc.) it’s still a pretty good good.

He looks like shaved scrotum. 💀

Here's some footage of Walt Disney in 1966 - shortly before his death - promoting Public Broadcasting.

Trans people are welcome and safe on my page. They always have been. And they always WILL be. No ifs, ands, or buts.

Everybody fucks up early on (some people worse than others). You will often forgive other people for the fuck-ups of their youths, but will be hard on yourself for your own. Anybody over 30 would give you grace, knowing you were just like them. Respect yourself to give yourself that same grace.

Here's a sneak peak of what the restorations look like:

Paul Dano has always been an extraordinary actor. You'd have to be a pretentious dumbass with foot fetish not to see that.

I FINALLY HAD SOME WORK COME THROUGH TODAY! If I can get some more work under my belt before February 4th, I will make rent! Please, if I can help you make closed captions for your YouTube videos or other video content, I encourage you to use my contact form so I can help you get started!

We're finally get an official DVD/Blu-Ray release of the Pre-1950 Famous Studios cartoons - through Thad Kmororowski's Cartoon Logic and ClassicFlix (under licence from Paramount) - and restored from the original camera negatives. I'll definitely pick this one up when I can.

My friend @marzgurl.com is sick with a cough and is having financial trouble. She’s a really kind person and it would be a lot of help if you could donate to her Patreon or KoFi Accounts (I’ll be donating mussel as soon as I get back). Also @linkara.bsky.social Can you give this a boost.

Me Waking Up on My 30th Birthday:

Hey Look, it’s how Pat Sullivan treated his employees:

About a week ago, I watched MovieBob's latest video, it's REALLY GOOD!

You know, speaking of Felix. I just got done reading John Canemaker's 1996 book and... WOW! The story behind Felix the Cat is SUPER FUCKED UP! Felix was the world's first cartoon super star and his REAL creator, Otto Messmer, was an unsung genius of animation who deserved SO MUCH BETTER...

It has been more than half the month, and I have received absolutely no work assignments, including from my most major client, who has never gone this long without assigning me work before. Please let me help you make closed captions while I continue looking for other work.

Throw a Boop a bone

Joe Barbera - at age 32 - when writing The Zoot Cat (1944):

Ironic imagery considering Geppetto's voice actor was a big Hitler supporter. Very vocal too, to the point of pissing off the animators trying to use him as a model for Pinocchio...

Thought bubbles! Found an old sketch from my college days, and decided to redo it. #characterdesign #cartooning

As a fan of old-school Hollywood… I’ve enjoyed several of his films and performances. But AS A PERSON… yeah, he was a racist piece of shit, so fuck him.

Roger Allers has sadly passed away at the age of 76. He was the co-director of ‘The Lion King’ and worked on ‘The Little Mermaid’, ‘Aladdin’, ‘Beauty and the Beast’, ‘The Rescuers Down Under’ and many more.

Roger Allers gave us so many unforgettable animated moments. He did a splendid job with "The Lion King" and his beautiful short "The Little Matchgirl", served as head of story of "Beauty and the Beast" and his original Incan story eventually led to "The Emperor's New Groove."

I’m deeply, deeply saddened that Roger Allers is no longer with us. He’s an absolute legend at making so many films, especially during the Disney renaissance era. Hearing his passing today made me feel very sad, may his work and impact in the animation industry live forever.

Same. As much as I love Emperor's New Groove - I've always wondered what Allers' vision for Kingdom of the Sun would've been. I wished Disney would release the workprint version of KotS as like an unfinished director's cut as an extra on the New Groove Blu-Ray. That'll never happen now.

And much as I adore The Emperor's New Groove, I've always wished I could visit the timeline where Allers got to finish Kingdom of the Sun exactly the way he wanted it, just so I could swipe a blu-ray copy, bring it back here and see what we missed. Roger Allers deserved better. RIP good sir.

Minkoff wanted to direct live-action films, but Allers stayed in animation, and it honestly baffles me that he wasn't given more respect and more greenlights in that medium with THE MOTHERFUCKING LION KING on his resume.

It's always been insane to me that after directing a film as successful, groundbreaking and universally-beloved as The Lion King, Roger Allers and Rob Minkoff never directed another film together, and now never will.

RIP Roger Allers, co-director of The Lion King - gone way too soon. It's a bit sad that his directorial career never reached the same heights afterward (a part of me wonders what could've been with his Kingdom of the Sun film). But he still gave us one of the greatest animated films of all time:

This was heartbreaking to learn about today. Roger Allers was not only a director who brought us The Lion King and 2014's The Prophet, but also a key player of the Disney Renaissance. We sadly lost a true animation legend, and I hope he will never be forgotten. deadline.com/2026/01/roge...

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.

Fuck man, RIP Roger Allers. Director of one of all time favourite movies - The Lion King.

There’s been some talk about the recent Wicked movies being anti-fascist (especially in light of recent events) But I don’t think it was the first Oz movie to do that. Watching the 1939 film… I don’t think Melvyn LeRoy and Arthur Freed (the two Jewish producers) were being particularly subtle.

If you haven’t yet, please read this thread by @gabea113.bsky.social on John Lasseter. It is absolutely brilliant!

Some people were confused by my ICE post. This should clear it up.

Hearing from family back in Texas that ICE is ramping up in San Antonio. This is the most blisteringly stupid part of all this. San Antonio is a majority Hispanic city. I mean, fuck, Texas was once Mexico. The people that live there have ALWAYS been there, BEFORE America. Fuckin' absurd.

Hey your first episode is going to be released on Australia Day!

Season 2 begins January 26th wherever podcasts are streamed!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: if you were openly and loudly ANGRY that The Last Jedi wasn't EXACTLY everything you wanted it to be, then I don't wanna hear you complain about Coogler, or Soderbergh for that matter, not getting their chance to make Star Wars movies.

Eh... I'm not the biggest Speedy Gonzales fan. He's probably my least favourite of the "big-name" Looney Tunes characters. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate him - and I do like some of his early cartoons (mainly those directed by Friz Freleng like Gonzales' Tamales and Mexicali Shomes)...
