Animation is...

Sony Pictures Animation has revealed a new poster for Goat. Have a look!

Thirty years ago today, Toy Story was released. One of the most important films released, this film launched Pixar as one of the biggest players in animation thanks to its heartwarming story, groundbreaking animation, and lovable characters that'll last for infinity and beyond.

The Academy has officially unveiled the animated films that are eligible for the Oscar for Best Animated Feature this year. A lot of interesting picks this year. Curious which ones will be nominated.

With Zootopia 2 coming out very soon, I figured I'd share the animatic of the DMV scene from the first film. I still can't get over how funny Judy's expressions are drawn in these boards. Just hilarious.

Pixar just dropped a new trailer for Hoppers this morning. I'm gonna be honest, this might be my most anticipated animated film of next year. You can really feel Daniel Chong's energy in this and it really looks like Pixar's craziest film, even more than Turning Red. I'm hyped.

I just saw Angel’s Egg on the big screen and it is such an experience. It is a masterwork from director Mamoru Oshii and an abstract masterpiece. I’d talk about it me, but it’s a film that you’d better experience and interpret yourself. Check it out if you can.

A new look at Coyote Vs. Acme was revealed in Empire today showcasing upcoming films releasing in 2026. It's still such a miracle the film is coming out and I am genuinely hyped to see what it's like next year!

There's a great quote that Gene Siskel said about movie critics to David Letterman that I really think about often when reviewing all kinds of films. Even if I'm watching bad movies, I love and care about this art form and I still want to feel the passion in what I review.

A new animated film on Netflix dropped this weekend about two children searching their dreams to find the Sandman. It's a film that I sadly didn't think lived up to its premise and did very little for me. Anyway, here's my review of In Your Dreams. Link in the post below.

I'm a firm believer in films getting a second life. It's why I don't hold the box office or use the initially critical analysis as verbatim to dictate how a film should be remembered. What matters is how the person feels about it and if they can cherish it. That makes it special.

Illumination has released a new poster for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. It is interesting to see the film tackle more games than just Galaxy as it is the world from Odyssey on the poster, but it does make me excited to see more of this in the final film.

Eighty-five years ago today, Fantasia was released. One of the biggest landmarks in animated filmmaking, this film that pairs Disney's animation with classical music is a revolution thanks to its brilliant music and top-tier animation that helped set the stage for music videos.

Illumination has dropped the first trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and revealed that Rosalina and Bowser Jr. will be played by Brie Larson and Benny Safdie, respectively. Overall, I'm on board with how the worlds look captured and the new stakes. Can't wait to see it!

Pixar just dropped the first teaser for Toy Story 5 today. Overall, there's not much to go on but I'll just say that it's crazy how the animation has come along since the first one and that I am excited to see where this goes. Can't wait to see it in June!

Paramount has announced that Spin Master exec Jennifer Dodge has been chosen to succeed Ramsay Naito as president of Paramount Animation. I'm not sure what this will entail, but I can at least say there could've been worse chosen to succeed Naito.

Illumination and Nintendo have announced that the first trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie will premiere on Wednesday via a Nintendo Direct. The Galaxy games are a really important piece of me, so I am very curious and excited to see what they’ll do in this sequel!

Have some background art from Over the Garden Wall painted by Nick Cross. This miniseries really does capture autumn atmosphere so incredibly well with how warm the colors are and yet cold it still feels. Such a brilliant miniseries.

Have some concept art for background characters from Elemental by Yingzong Xin. I still love how colorful the art of this film is and how the colors really shine in the final film.
