Time for the Annecy Cristal winner! Next up, Arco! #BlazikersAnimationAdventure #Arco #sgiff2025

If there is a Change.org petition to send to The Academy to re-consider its Oscars Best Animated Feature shortlist to include Ne Zha 2 in that shortlist, send me here. We cannot allow that robbery to happen. That peak needs to be included in that shortlist. #NeZha2WasRobbed

Me after that massive Ne Zha 2 shortlist snub (as well as Nobody and Spermageddon, but especially Ne Zha 2): #NeZha2WasRobbed

"The Plague Dogs" animated feature film is available for free on Youtube (North America only). Directed in 1982 by Martin Rosen ("Watership Down"). Brad Bird worked on it as an animator. >> www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWnC...

Wait, here comes Little Amelie with a folding chair!

After distributing Ne Zha 2, The Legend of Hei 2 and now Nobody to Singapore theatres, I am convinced Encore Films' animation distribution division is the GKIDS of Singapore. They even do cross-promotions of The Legend of Hei 2 and Nobody on their Instagram account!

Ne Zha 2, Nobody (Chinese animated movie) and Spermageddon were robbed. Anyway, here's my ranking of the shortlist so far. So happy to see Olivia & the Clouds on that list, not enough are talking about it. And... Out of the Nest sweep let's go!!! boxd.it/Qg2ae

After covering way too many animated movies for the past few weeks, I needed a live-action movie pick-me-up, and lo and behold, the Horsemen are back after 10 years (with some new faces). Man, it's so great to see them showing the unlimited potential of magic... boxd.it/bOfddl

Wanna see a magic trick? Wanna see it again? Next up, Now You See Me: Now You Don't!

My Oscars Best Animated Feature 2025 shortlist ranking... Also, Ne Zha 2, Nobody (Chinese animated movie) and Spermageddon were robbed. boxd.it/Qg2ae

November is usually a very busy month of animated movies and this year is no exception, including another Chinese gem that is worth seeing for. Check out Part 10 of my 2025 Animated Movies Rundown here: blogofblaziker.com/blazikers-an... #BlazikersAnimationAdventure #MovieReview

I just had a small block of Belgian white chocolate. My mind has been blown. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

Tune in tonight Singapore time (tomorrow morning USA time) for Part 10 of my 2025 Animated Movies Rundown on the Blog of Blaziker (link in bio)! #BlazikersAninationAdventure

Hola Frida is just a light-hearted but well-executed animated movie that is not complex, but has a well-executed story and animation that is easy to please. Just like a warm hug! #BlazikersAnimationAdventure

My country is going to the 2027 Asian Cup after beating Hong Kong away? After all the time of my country not being good at football for many years??? What on earth happened??? (Yeah, I am still shell-shocked by this...) www.channelnewsasia.com/sport/hong-k...

You know it's a good year of animated movies when even Viva Kids (aka Via Pictures) somehow did not distribute an animated movie I did not like in a single calendar year and that all 5 of their animated movies are in the top 12. Is it a fluke? We shall see next year...

Falcon Express (aka Pets on a Train) is a fun and entertaining animated movie in spite of its rough English dub. Not in the same league as Terra Willy, but still a decent TAT Productions animated movie, nonetheless. #BlazikersAnimationAdventure

Let's see if Viva Kids makes it 5 for 5 animated movies that get a passing grade from me! Next up, the 25th anniversary animated movie for TAT Productions, Falcon Express (aka Pets on a Train)! #FalconExpress #PetsOnATrain #BlazikersAnimationAdventure #AnimatedMovie

Little Amelie or the Character of Rain is without a question the greatest family-friendly animated movie of all time, on the directors’ debut, no less! Such a simple, yet deeply moving and emotional animated movie on all fronts. Man… #BlazikersAnimationAdventure

Time for a big contender for my most favourite animated movie of 2025! Next up, my first of the French Film Festival Singapore animated movies, Little Amelie! #BlazikersAnimationAdventure #LittleAmelie #LittleAmelieOrTheCharacterOfRain #AnimatedMovie #FrenchFilmFestivalSG

In Your Dreams is a decent and well-executed animated movie that at least is engaging. While the writing could have been better, the vibrant and playful animation is a joy to watch, the soundtrack is decent, and it is overall a decent watch. #BlazikersAnimationAdventure

‘The Owl House’ creator Dana Terrace responds to Disney+ funding AI-generated short form content in new tweet: “Unsubscribe from Disney+. Pirate Owl House. I don’t care. Fuck gen AI.”

The Polish trailer for Iggy the Eagle/Orzelek Iggy has been released by the Polish distributor, releasing on 6 February next year in Poland. I had been following this movie's development ever since seeing its Cartoon Movie 2023 preview clip, and this looks very promising! youtu.be/BJePZ8z0VWg?...

Reviviendo!! Estoy en tiempos de evaluación en mi escuela. Y recién tengo la oportunidad de volver a publicar! Les comparto este fanart que tenia desde hace creo que ya el mes xD. #fanart #jaguar #mascotverse #mexico #fifa

Me when I have to see In Your Dreams on Netflix this Friday, Little Amelie in theatres this Saturday and Pets on a Train in theatres this Sunday, while also having to keep up with animated movie announcements for American Film Market 2025 this week:

The biggest "dudes rock" in the history of "dudes rock."

Hopefully I get to use some of the money from the SG Culture Pass to cover The Violinist which is slated to come out in August next year... www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/sg...

Nobody might clinch the award as the funniest animated movie of 2025 so far, with a fun and unconventional satire that has shocking emotional moments that made me cry, top-tier animation and a great soundtrack, Nobody is anything but a “nobody” after all! #BlazikersAnimationAdventure

"I don't care what anyone says, I like that movie "🎥 Chickenhare and the Hamster of Darkness

Time for the highest grossing 2D animated movie of all time! Next up, Nobody! #NobodyMovie #AnimatedMovie #BlazikersAnimationAdventure

My Grubster delivery is late! Where is that delivery guy, he's 30 minutes late and my takeout hasn't arrived yet! Ah well, I still have the last moments of Yakari to go, let me finish watching it in peace while my takeout is still stuck in traffic... #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

While the story is not as solid and engaging as what I would hope, Boys Go to Jupiter delivers in its trippy and experimental animation and a great soundtrack. Such a unique animated movie I will probably never forget. #BlazikersAnimationAdventure

Not just OpenAI. All A/I LLMs and generative A/I software, especially Sora AI, can piss off and be destroyed for good. They are responsible for a lot of A/I slop and enable brainrot to exist. And no, I don't consider them to be A/I, I consider them as "crimes against humanity".

Saw the trailer to the upcoming no-dialogue Taiwanese-Malaysian-Hong Kong animated movie called "A Mighty Adventure" that has undertones of the Minuscule movies. Yeah, I need to see it... youtu.be/I38crMNVwII?...

Before panicking, I recommend reading the CNBC article this came from. It lays out the situation pretty well and doesn’t treat a merger or hostile takeover like an inevitability. In fact, it pokes a few holes in Paramount’s logic. These paragraphs in particular caught my eye:

Bride of Conker #ConkersBadFurDay

Viva Kids' Furry Racing Cinematic Universe, with Rally Road Racers, Grand Prix of Europe and, if they decide to pick it up at AFM 2025, Mega Racer (from the Korean studio behind The Nut Job, Red Rover (and probably The Nut Job 3)). Your very welcome, Viva Kids. Make it rain.

Had said this before, but worth repeating it again: Gen A/I is a mistake. A really, really, really big mistake.

In support of Autism advocacy and acceptance! #WalkOfALifetime #AutismAcceptance

Time for my reservation at Smoke and Stack's juke joint! Next up, a special Halloween IMAX rewatch screening of Sinners! #SinnersMovie

Happy International Animation Day once again! Time to share four foreign animated movies I highly recommend for your animation adventure! Jumbo (Indonesia) Olivia & the Clouds (Dominican Republic) Lost in Starlight (South Korea) The Glassworker (Pakistan) #InternationalAnimationDay

I had been personally very underwhelmed by Latin American animation as I had covered their movies and so far, none of them were good. However, I have a feeling Brave Cat has the best potential to break that duck for me. We'll see if this happens once I see it... youtu.be/1vA8750S--M?...

Grand Prix of Europe (2025) - Nachtkraab He is based on Nachtkrapp from German folklore. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_r... "If it is seen by little children, it will abduct them into its nest and messily devour them, first ripping off their limbs and then picking out their heart"

Watched a running race and ended up on a treasure hunt with letters on the clues to places I never realised existed. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

With a well-layered story filled with fun and engaging characters despite its simple premise, beautiful and top-quality animation and a great soundtrack, Your Letter is another great South Korean animated movie that will leave you with tears at the end. #BlazikersAnimationAdventure

100 Meters is what happens when you allow a director passionate about creating animated movies to go all out with an entertaining animated movie about competitive running with a unique rotoscoping style of animation. Yeah, I’m sold! #BlazikersAnimationAdventure
