It becomes so obvious when someone has absolutely no original thoughts and just repeats what they heard from some shitty YouTuber or some bad faith talking point that got a bunch of likes on Twitter. Media criticism is a dying art.

Thinking more about this - AI is also going to be limited by its profitability. As an “art” tool, it sounds too good to be possible - because it is. Interest is drying up, and the ouroboros of billionaires funding AI has limits. Eventually, AI needs to be profitable… which will make it EXPENSIVE.

Sad, but it doesn't have to be inevitable. This isn't an advancement in film like talkies or color that audiences demanded. Audiences don't demand AI. They just demand a good movie. AI isn't about making good movies; it's just about making more money with less skill. #movies #scriptsky

Cars 2. I don't know how to feel about that fact, lol

First film you saw at the cinema. The real first one, not the pretend one you tell people! Mine: The Empire Strikes Back, 1980, Wigan. We were near the front and I can still remember how massive the AT-ATs looked, looming over us out of the snow :) Film, year, where, and whatever stuck with you.

For Loud House fans who are celebrating their favorite show continuing, you shouldn’t. Remember: every writer, storyboard artist, and director who worked on the series up to now got fired.

Jason the Cartoon Fan@jasonthecartoonfan.bsky.social

Jessica Borutski - The Loud House’s head director since Season 4 - confirmed in a recent podcast that The Loud House got a last-minute renewal. However, production moved from the U.S. to Canada, meaning the entire production crew outside of the voice cast has been replaced.

All I can think of when I see this frame is “early installment weirdness”, considering the original plan for Marcy was to have her be another Sasha. To think of how things would have gone for all of us Amphibia fans if anyone other than Hailey Tju was chosen to voice her.

Another reminder to please stop believing every rumor you see online, even if it is something you want to be true. Rando accounts and scoopers are not reliable sources.

Its so fucking pathetic that fans show little to no respect for the people who work on their favorite media. Ashleigh Ball could potentially die and all this person cares about is weither or not she'll be able to come back for an Equestria Girls revival...

It would be nice if meaningless Rotten Tomatoes scores and box office numbers didn't dominate film discourse. All it does is encourage console war shit and make it that much harder to talk about movies themselves.

Replying to @wario64.bsky.social

"Programming is hard" is not the statement you want to see from a company that makes a game engine. Then again, it may explain why UE5 games all run like dogshit.

The amount of love, attention to detail, and craft that goes into stop motion films will never cease to amaze me. These artists are true magicians of their craft.

I see this statement everywhere and it always makes my blood boil. DISNEY WILL NOT BRING BACK 2D ANIMATION FOR YOU!!! GO WATCH ARCO, LITTLE AMELIE, TANGLES, BOY AND THE HERON, LOOK BACK, NOBODY, ANOTHER WORLD, AND COUNTLESS OTHERS IF YOU TRULY CARE ABOUT THE ART FORM

The Cartoon Network leak revealed that the team actually wrote fake interviews for the Powerpuff Girls in-house so that the writers could understand them better and honestly this is incredibly useful for learning how to characterize your characters holy shit

A reminder that a movie doing poorly at the box office doesn’t necessarily mean that it is a bad movie.   Too many people are obsessed with box office numbers and think that it is all that matters when judging a movie.

Cartoon networks kill switch being a hack the planet style leak to all the online animators is the most punk rock shit to happen in a decade. Legendary shit.

It's the combination of the little noise that Homer makes when he bounces back into the house and Ned's defeated "okay" that get me every time. So much comedy gold in only 40 seconds.

On This Day in Simpsons History@dailysimpsons.bsky.social

34 years ago today, Ned Flanders saved Homer Simpson from a house fire. #TheSimpsons episode “Homer the Heretic” first aired October 8, 1992.

I'm looking forward to new Knights of Guinevere episodes and want to see indie animation continue to thrive. What I'm not looking forward to is the inevitable bad faith discourse, hatedom, and toxic fandom that always happens with indie and animated shows.
