and i believe that what helps US animation are really good musicals. The animated movies i watched as a toddler were Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Lion King. Kids will connect with the music, just look at Frozen, Encanto, Moana, and KPDH. i dont think you can do kids movies without it.

something holding Disney and Pixar animation back is that its clear the people actually making the movies want to be more like European or Asian animation that leans toward older kids/teens and adults, but their brand forces consideration of little kids and they make no one happy.

The internet wasn't a mistake. It saved lives. It's allowed community. It's one of the best advancements in modern history for information. The mistake was normalizing rampant cruelty and dunk culture and protecting predators and harassers over victims.

PLEASE HELP MY FRIEND SAVE HER ADORABLE AND SASSY LITTLE PARROTLET 😭 www.gofundme.com/f/help-save-...

…no disrespect to the phenomenal VAs in indie animation but god I wish Youtube did not encourage people to title their videos “How ___ carried Indie Animation” because ANIMATION IS A TEAM SPORT MY GOD.

Autism World Awareness Day 🧵 1/3

Sorry I keep bumping this. It’s just been very hard these past couple days given that I wasn’t called in for work this week. Any help would mean a lot ko-fi.com/rsdream12/go...

I got so stuck but got this one out (and it wasn’t even on the list! 😌)

Since I just rewatched his movie, I HAVE to go with one of my all time favorite line deliveries

It was me, I was the April Fool all along, sorry you all had to find out this way 😔

THE MARIO GALAXY MOVIE WAS FUN!! Not perfect by any means but still an enjoyable watch. Could clearly tell that the crew had a lot of fun and that they’re super nerdy. I see you and those deep cuts

Off to watch the Mario Galaxy Movie. See you all on the other side 🪐💫✨

Emily and me work on her plush so hard!!! I hope we can brin to LBX this year!

Still looking for industry storyboarding work 🫡

Please help my friend Marcy!!

Any bit helps, Joe’s been a hell of a person and a hell of an artist for a hell of a long time.

Happy Transgender Day of Visibility!!! 🏳️‍⚧️🔪

We need to stop viewing art as a product, especially independently produced art. Expecting artists to just churn out work quickly because you want it is not only extremely selfish, but also deeply undermines all of the work that goes into making art good. You can’t rush art.

Hello hello! My name's Evan, a freelance writer and storyboard artist, and I'm looking for work! I'm always looking for new opportunities- DM or email me and let's chat! Prev. experience includes Lumi and the Great Big Galaxy (pilot) and SMG4 for Glitch Productions. 📨 CONTACT: [email protected]

It's easy to log on to social media and post "trans rights are human rights". Go check on your trans friends, support trans creators, hire trans workers, share art made by trans folks, and give both middle fingers to anyone trying to stop them from living their lives.

AAAHH THEYRE FINALLY HERE!! AND ITS THE REAL DEAL THIS TIME!! 💖👽

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! ✊ trans rights are human rights. full stop. #TDOV #TDOV2026

The Backrooms movie trailer just came out and I’m so so happy they nailed the vibe immediately. I am so watching this!! youtu.be/wek9dIw2uVM?...

Instead of /her/, have some Tennant <3

I’m still not over how they got YUNGBLUD to do an anime opening!!! How the hell!?!? And it fucking RULES!!! youtu.be/YJkOxWVn0SU

friendly reminder that even if you are cis, trans rights should be important to you because they are about bodily autonomy and that directly impacts you too

It’s #TDOV and it would mean the world to me if you help out a nonbinary artist take care of bills/payments while also staying afloat in between finding a new job 💖 ko-fi.com/rsdream12/go... #TransDayofVisibility #MutualAid #MutualAidVoid #FundSky #HelpSky #HelpFolksLive2026

The cal-arts/bean mouth style doesn't exist. If there are stylistic similarities between shows, it's because of how they are made. Production has to simplify complex designs to help animators work efficiently. Also, off-model doesn't mean anything in a straight storyboard to animator show pipeline.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility!! I’m not going to lie, my senior year has largely frozen my ability to work the past 4-odd months, which has made money increasingly tight. If I can bother any of yall to toss a bit at my ko-fi, I’d be appreciative..! -> ko-fi.com/peahaw #tdov #transdayofvisibility

Once again I haven’t been called into work, I’m still recovering from the hit on my account I had the other day and I’m worried about it reaching the red before pay day. That on top on payments I still need to deal with. Any help would mean a lot #mutualaid #helpsky

Needless to say it’s been rough for me as of late, so any form of support is very much appreciated ko-fi.com/rsdream12/go... #MutualAid #MutualAidVoid #FundSky #HelpSky #HelpFolksLive2026

Being an autistic child growing up in the 2000s was already rough enough, but being an autistic adult in 2026 feels next to impossible sometimes

Hey since everyone is falling in love with Wunmi Mosaku, a reminder that she was the voice of Azi on Scavengers Reign. This scene is from one of the episodes I wrote! www.youtube.com/watch?v=haFB...
