Do we know how to cast a movie or what?

Anyway we should support Julián (Cartoon Saloon) when it comes out! Based on the beautiful kids book "Julián is a Mermaid" and shaping up to be very openly queer in presentation and has a queer writer on the team (Juliany Taveras) Let's support those who aren't afraid of helping tell our stories.

There's really no need for such dismissive language in regards to something that is important to a lot of people. Besides "Luca" is the gayest Pixar movie we'll ever need. deadline.com/2026/03/pixa...

This quote isnt just out of touch or disappointing, its fucking dark. Gay people are not a conversation parents need to have with their kids? Knowing gay people exist doesnt require therapy?? Any parents who thinks that way needs to have their kids removed ASAP. Get in a volcano, Pete.

Princely 👑 Chapter 1 Enjoy National Tell A Fairy Tale Day with the first episode of Princely ~ an animated series originally released on the Amino App in the Winter of 2019/2020

‘The Amazing Digital Circus’ creator Gooseworx has deactivated her Reddit account after facing backlash from fans upset about Pomni and Jax getting the spotlight. She also says she’s unsure whether she’ll return to the franchise in the future.

Happy Valentines Day! 💘

Adobe appears to have reversed course on this. Animate is safe, at least for the immediate future. www.reddit.com/r/adobeanima...

These guys know what's up. @mohoanimation.bsky.social

Called and spoke with Adobe customer support and the guy told me Adobe is discontinuing Animate because apparently the company can't think of any new features to add to the program and they feel it's gotten stale. So they're just GETTING RID OF IT???

I keep seeing the “reminder don’t use Adobe here are the alternatives” image going around and folks, the problem is not just that Adobe sucks, the problem is they’re blocking legal access to decades of art files utilized by individuals and entire teams

Someone has a year to buy the code for Adobe Animate, make it open source like Blender, and really do something worthwhile in this world.

adobe killing animate and saying "just use after effects" is the most fundamental misunderstanding of your customers ever, lol

lol Adobe is just killing Animate/Flash for no particular reason, completely upending the animation industry. just your average monday

Hoping to christ that they reverse this or the industry is going to take a massive hit... that and force industry people to permanently pivot away from Adobe for good. ughghghhhhhhhhhhhh

Guess I have a definite deadline for the movie now that our software is being discontinued 😵‍💫

I think a lot of us grew up thinking that "good vs. evil" was something that only existed in cartoons, fairy tales, and galaxies far far away. Those super villains pale in comparison to what is happening now though, and we don't get to play pretend anymore.

🚨BIG NEWS!🚨 We are making an #indieanimation show about dysfunctional aliens stuck in space and we need voices! ✨VOLUNTEER VOICE ACTOR AUDITIONS ARE NOW OPEN FOR ANDROMEDA SQUAD!✨ If you love comedy and sci-fi, then you might be the perfect fit to join us and yell in space. Details below! 👇👽

Showing the Sirenetta rough-cut to some (non-animation) friends tonight to get some audience feedback and just start sharing it with people. I’m nervous cuz it’s still so in-progress but also excited - my husband hasn’t even seen it yet

I wanted to make a nice little self portrait to reflect on 2025 with, but I couldn't really figure it out and got a little lost. Ultimately though, I think that's a good encapsulation of how this year has gone. There has been a lot of beauty, there has been a lot of darkness.

It’s time to export our year end rough cut 🤩 The movie’s already an hour and twenty five minutes long 😳 And we still have like half of act 3 to board 😱

I’ve curated a starter pack to make it easier to find artists working in animation on Bluesky! (If you qualify but aren’t on this list let me know, I will fill it up until it hits the 150 limit!) go.bsky.app/KDYTiwF

gave the first concepts of the Sirenetta movie score a listen and

One of my bucket list items is to be able to walk into a store one day and see my characters on shelves - until then, I’ve got the Sirenetta OOAK I ordered back when the movie started production 🥰

Animation is consistently the most successful and profitable genre year after year... so the way the studios are strangling the industry with less and less green lights, development, and funding is utterly baffling.

I'm recording an all-drag ep of The QueerXP tonight, and one of our guests had to drop out. This is a hyper-specific request, but if anyone out there is free at 8pm Eastern for a game of Trans Vampire Cowboys.. AND is a BIPOC drag performer... please shoot me a message!

The last month has been one of the weirdest ones for me this year. The incredible joy of funding our Kickstarter was immediately coupled with exhaustion, finally realizing just how busy that campaign kept me. I thought I could hit the ground running, and I got so angry with myself when I couldn't.

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️ As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike. WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

Huge congrats to this incredible project! Mermedia forever.

It’s been two days, and I’m still at a loss for words. I spent the last six months stressing over where I’d find the money to keep paying our team of artists, and I don’t know if its fully hit me yet that I can let that stress go.

There was confetti and everything!!!
