Woody witnesses a bus crash that kills two dozen kids. He lies about the bus driver speeding to prevent his abusive owner Andy from profitting from the class action lawsuit against the bus company for faulty machinery. A deserved revenge - but at what cost?

Probably my all-time favorite quote about editing is, some clueless individual asked Martin Scorsese's editor Thelma Schoonmaker how such a nice lady could edit such violent movies, and she replied "Marty's movies aren't violent until I edit them."

Instead of saying "she saved Star Wars", let's remember Marcia Lucas as a fantastic editor whose work on MULTIPLE films was necessary to their success. Editing is an important part of cinema and deserves more respect.

Last four watched right here.

Listen I'm very loudly anti-AI but I think part of being anti-AI is also that you have to be AGGRESSIVELY pro-artist. Please support your artists, especially ones with marginalized identities.

Pride month is coming up and I cannot tell you enough, cis people, that the best thing you can do right now is stand up for trans people financially, publicly, and in any way you can think of so this witch hunt ends, once again, with bigots on the wrong side of history.

Not surprising.

Netflix Animation Studios production workers have ratified their first union contract with The Animation Guild. The deal includes wage minimums, dismissal pay, workplace protections, and higher pay for Production Assistants.

Del Toro having a polite conversation with Jorge Gutierrez about his punky duck cartoon

feel like I have been yelling about I AM FRANKELDA since roughly this time last year – a hand-made marvel, really shouldn't be missed!! I interviewed the directors last year about how they put it all together (for @animag.bsky.social)

You've got to have a line, and you have to know where that line is. If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.

the columbine shooters were neonazis and nobody was allowed to tell anyone that for like thirty years, and as a result instead of a public backlash to and government crackdown on neonazi internet groups, we have neonazi interns running the government

amazing this is not a skit

everything is better if it's lesbians

He made multiple instagram posts yesterday essentially laughing off the response, deleted them, and is now trying this. I accept this as an attempt to make right, but also? This man spent years dunking on AI. Not sure what he suddenly learned this last 24 hours that was new info.

im glad gutierrez dropped out of the project but i dont buy his apology at all. there is simply no way anyone who works in animation would be caught unawares by the problems with AI, especially someone who worked in the industry as long as he has

The Pixies look like the cast of some 90s NBC sitcom that got moved to 3 different nights and then cancelled

What patience? Dude destroyed his reputation with this. Now people are gonna remember him as a shill, a sellout, and a misogynist.

Your morning image

Been seeing people calling Doctor Who "British Tokusatsu", so I'm gonna say that those old Lucha Libre movies with El Santo and Blue Demon count as Mexican tokusatsu.

Bro cooked? Bro IS Cooked

I got one for you.

One MUST resist the urge to lolcow. I'd call it one of the most important urges to resist on the contemporary internet, actually

What are you doing with your life, Andrei Rublev is on YouTube for free, spend three hours watching that instead: youtu.be/je75FDjcUP4?...

There are two different Sátántangó length documentaries on my feed, one about the Wii U, and another on Grumpy Cat, which I see while I watch a video on the transsexuality of looksmaxxing, a 4chan greentext opens in theaters tonight likely to make bank… Al Gore won in the end

Me, coming up with motive to finish story drafts: “Okay FINE, I guess IIIII have to fill the seat of Mexican-American autistic icon now :p”

It's funny, I was gonna work this weekend on a pitch bible with a friend, but then seeing Jorge Gutiérrez destroy his reputation has me more determined to be creative. Finally gonna get my shit focused and kick some ass.

Jeff Bezos is sucking up to Trump and Jorge is over here trying to excuse himself for scabbing and joining hands with them. Coward shit.

‘Amphibia’ creator Matt Braly speaks out against the use of AI in animation: “If you need to partner with AI to get a greenlight on your project, it ain’t worth it.”

This is just the first mockup but I decided to make myself a tshirt so people will stop fucking talking to me about how much they love AI

Say it with me, kids: There is no ethical way to use genAI. You can claim you are using it as a tool for artists, but as long as that tool is doing actual real world harm, it is ALWAYS going to be unethical.

"I Am Frankelda" is coming to Netflix on June 12. A Mexican stop-motion feature film by Arturo & Roy Ambriz (Cinema Fantasma).

Remember how there's an entire episode of The Powerpuff Girls that's 95% Beatles references?

I just watched a famous Czechoslovakian film called The Shop on Main Street and I feel like it and The Cremator make for a good double feature on ordinary men becoming complicit in fascism. Both from different angles, but both still relevant and powerful.

Some heartbreaking animation news today from people who have been some of my animation heroes. It’s up to us to hold the line and build a better future for animation.

There are currently 3 ongoing/upcoming Kickstarters for Black-led animated projects to support: • The Three Tomes by @breanimator.bsky.social • FLY by @jayrayart.bsky.social • HEY by ToonrificTariq Links below! ⬇️

cool!!!

found a contender for all time funniest Christgau review

lmao

Mexican men not beating the misogyny allegations. Machismo is so fucking obnoxious, ugh.

Well, gonna try and focus on some positives. I'll be going to Michoacán to visit family for Christmas and New Years. That'll be nice.

I feel like you handed over your artist badge the moment you put your hands on that stuff, somewhat.

AI is just limp dick baby shit I can’t do it so can computer do it for me You’ll never convince me otherwise You’re just asking your mommy to do it for you but your mommy is the computer. Will never respect an adult that does that shit.

HIJO DE PUTA YOU FUCKING SELLOUT

I need someone to explain how eliminating jobs brings jobs back just… math wise

Animation discourse and fan-manufactured competitiveness between shows can be a bummer, they're strange effects of a social media and attention-driven economy, but AT LEAST it all revolves around human-made art. Small blessings.

“Creative breakthroughs happen when visionary storytellers are given access to transformative tools”-- Actually, creative breakthroughs happen when people don't have to drink brown water from data center waste. This is not cool or accessible, this is disingenuous & disappointing.

JORGE WHAT THE FUCK DUDE

At a time when "AI" is more unpopular and clearly unprofitable than ever before, famous artists continue to fuck over their own reputations by getting involved with it.
