Recommending a full year of animated movies, day 123. My 325th best animated film is Short Peace. 4 short films in an anthology and a video game (I never played the game), Short Peace is well animated throughout, but uneven. 2 pretty good films and 2 great films…

That some of those crappy AI fan made Doomsday “leaks“ are convincing for a bit says a lot about the current state of marvel movies.

Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender is pretty good. You wish it was better considering how seminal the original series was, but it’s a little too serious with a dull one dimensional villain. It’s still very well animated and enjoyable...

The Adventures of Mark Twain is one of the strangest blank check movies in animation history.
