AI ruins everything… Fuck AI!

The oldest surviving feature-length animated film just turned 100 this year. In 1926, Lotte Reiniger created The Adventures of Prince Achmed decades before Disney's Snow White. I made a deep dive on its history, innovation, and legacy: youtu.be/XTBSJdtKJqk #AnimationHistory #FilmHistory #filmsky

Happy 112th Birthday to Ward Kimball! A legendary animator for Disney and was among Disney’s famous nine old men. He was also a musician and a member of the Firehouse Five Plus Two, and a noted train enthusiast. #toytrains #animationhistory #disney

Last night, a lunar eclipse happened. While I didn’t get pictures of this one due to the rain, I did take pictures of a previous lunar eclipse in 2022. So here are some of them from the past for those who missed out on the previous one and the recent one last night. #photography #nightphotography

Happy 122nd Birthday to legendary cartoonist and children’s author Theodor Geisel, or otherwise famously known as Dr Seuss. Creator of many famous children’s books such as The Cat In The Hat, The Lorax, Green Eggs and Ham, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and many other famous titles.

In 1935, The Merrie Melodies Cartoon, I haven’t got a hat was released to theaters. Originally a parody of the Our Gang/Little Rascal series, it was a vehicle to find a new character for their flagship Looney Tunes series to replace Buddy, their unsuccessful star. #looneytunes #animationhistory

We are pleased to reveal that our own @visionary1126.bsky.social has acquired TM's standard gauge Blue Comet, which was used in several shows and was on display in the I Love Toy Trains store until its closing.

Rev. W. Awdry’s Little Engines Weekend Sir Handel, Rusty & Fred, will be back in Tywyn on the 18th & 19th July 2026. This event will be smaller in scale, but promises to engage fans young and old with activities to enjoy – and of course, plenty of trains to catch! More information coming soon!

Happy Women’s History Month 💜 Celebrating the iconic women of animation who shaped our childhoods, inspired generations, and carried entire shows on their backs.

This is probably the most bizarre video coming from TM. Heck you wouldn’t even know that this is from TM have it not been for the info at the back of the VHS tape and the end credits.

And what I mean by this is when something bad with a merger this bad, a studio’s library of vintage films becoming harder to find or in the case of animation, don’t have enough physical media exposure.

Good thing I still buy used DVDs nowadays. That’s the majority of my collection. And after what happened with the older Fox films, it’s best to keep doing it this way.

Take a breath Take a break relax quit doomscrolling These things take months, even years, to get across. Warner Bros. isn't going away tomorrow (same with Warner Archive) May we suggest watching some Looney Tunes? They're still free to watch on Tubi!

WGA, SAG AFTRA and The Animation Guild now have no choice but to go on strike again. This should go on for months until Paramount Skydance finally gives up.

You don’t need Disney-level resources and drawing skills to create animation. People have made classics with sand and a source of light. With magazine clippings, or their own bodies animated via stop motion. There’s no barrier to entry, as we explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/sand-and-a...

I’m reposting this again to help a friend get out of a toxic environment and into a better place.

21 years ago, Avatar the Last Airbender made its debut on Nickelodeon. So here’s a pair of edits along with its sequel series, The Legend of Korra. #nicktoons #avatarthelastairbender #animation #edits

I can't get enough of Emery Hawkins' animation. The squishy fluidity of his movements just bursts with personality.

Here's another of Scribner's excellent works, portraying Bugs' anger by making him look elastic and exaggerating his emotions simultaneously. He's also the first to showcase Bugs' new, modern design, which was created by Bob McKimson. Cartoon: "Tortoise Wins By a Hare" (1943, Bob Clampett)

31 years ago today, ‘What A Cartoon!’ premiered on Cartoon Network. The shorts program launched future CN classics like The Powerpuff Girls, Dexter’s Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, and more.

5 Things I like, and 5 Oomfs to do the same! 1. Vintage Cinema and Animation 2. Trains (both Real and Toy) 3. Photography 4. Making Videos 5. Writing @apuzzleoddball.bsky.social @angelicbunny64.bsky.social @watchfulstar.bsky.social @mrcwashere.bsky.social @elianiskenough.bsky.social

New photos for the "Giant Whistling Thomas" toy revealed. #ThomasandFriends #TTTE

Oh for crying out loud….

A few weeks ago, a some snow and sleet came into my area, so here are some frozen landscape photos on your timeline. #Naturephotography #landscapephotography #photography

Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos slams Paramount Skydance for “flooding the zone with misinformation” to destabilize the Netflix-Warner Bros. merger: “Give them seven days to put their money where their mouth is.”

So we got a glimpse of new renders of some characters in the new Thomas & Friends reboot at Toy Fair. They look fine honestly, is something to get used to though, especially when the episodes come out later this year. #thomasandfriends #ttte #thomasthetankengine

NO FOR ALL THINGS MERCY NO!!

Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone. To celebrate today, here’s a throwback with three different edits that I made a while ago. One of which featuring various animation couples. #valentinesday #animation

The ‘Muppet Show’ revival has drawn 7.58 million viewers across Disney+ and ABC since its debut. According to Variety, the strong ratings improve the chances of a full season order.

This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous. Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...

Repost please!

Since 1940 on this day with their theatrical debut of Puss Gets the Boot released on this day, Tom and Jerry would continue to entertain multiple generations of animation fans from the original theatrical era (1940-67) to this very day on TV. Happy 86th Anniversary Tom and Jerry! #animationhistory

I’m gonna go find an alternative because I’m not going with this crap.

20 years ago, I went to my first train show. I don’t know what day it was but it was definitely during winter. So today, I went to the Greenberg train show not far from where I live. #trains #modelrailroading #toytrains #trainshow #trainphotography

YES PLEASE! TAKE MY MONEY!

Happy 40th anniversary, Pixar!
