A reminder from both Roger Ramjet AND Underdog to take that special pill to get your super powers! And they feel real great I'm sure.

HAPPY 7th BIRTHDAY to my baby girl, my little princess, my little scooter pie, RIPLEY!! ❤️❤️❤️

More upcoming Ollie & Scoops characters! Here is Julia's mom, Babs Goldburger. (Voiced by Yeardley Smith!) Constantly pushing her daughter to achieve excellence, perfection, and bringing GOLD to the Goldburger name, Babs is the reason Julia is the way she is. That poor kid...

It's Biscuits! A tough stray alley cat that Scoops has a crush on. SO tough, her butt fur got burned off sleeping too long under a car fender. But Scoops is a pet and a delicate flower, Biscuits thinks he's a pampered dweeb. What do you think, does Scoops have a chance with this tough lil' stinker?

With Nathan Fielder back in the spotlight, here's my Dumb Starbucks cup I still have! Right next to my cherished signed David Lynch coffee bag 😌 Good pal Daron Nefcy and I made a (confused) visit back in 2013 as the mysterious Dumb Starbucks was right in our neighborhood

Who's excited to see more Ollie & Scoops cartoons? 😊

I went to see Coyote vs. ACME but when the theater lights dimmed just this 16-seconds played on the screen then the house lights went up.. and I guess that was it? I was sorta expecting better animation and a MUCH longer runtime but it was okay I guess. I think AMC tricked me (I'M KIDDING.)

Completely gutted. RIP Dolly, I love you. From an Ollie & Scoops episode: Julia Goldburger's inner ego, clearly a loving homage to Dolly. (Voiced by @greydelisle.bsky.social, character rough designed by me, final design by genius artist @malusvermis.bsky.social!)

A couple thousand buckeroos left and I'll be able to produce full animatics of Ollie & Scoops Episodes 11 and 12! Guest starring the great Kevin Conroy, recorded back in 2020 before his passing. Thanks for any help, and please RT/share! www.gofundme.com/f/ollie-scoo...

It's easy to forget... Animation and movies are, when you boil it down, a technical magic trick. An illusion. Sound and picture moving in time to create a story before our eyes. And behind it, just normal people. All Wizards of our own Oz. Pay no attention to the men and women behind the cameras...

My little girl 😍❤️ I love you Ripley!!

Aw.. Don Iwerks, son of Mickey Mouse co-creator Ub Iwerks, has passed. We used to go to Christmas parties at his house when I was just a toddler, as my mom worked at Iwerks Entertainment throughout the 80s. She always said he was the sweetest, best boss you could ask for. RIP Don!

Don Iwerks, the Disney legend who spearheaded various camera and projection systems for the company’s parks and films, has died. He was 96.

Only $2,000 - $4,000 more until OLLIE & SCOOPS can continue with animatics of Episode 11 (featuring Paul Rugg creator/voice of FREAKAZOID) and Episode 12 (featuring Kevin Conroy the voice of BATMAN!)

It's such a shame that Kevin Conroy's last voice role records are just sitting here on my hard drive for the lame reason of simply not having enough funds to make the dang cartoon. Nearly 50% funded and I can make these animatic episodes! Please DONATE / SHARE! www.gofundme.com/ollie-scoops...

Popeye's theme song on the big screen in a good ol' MOVIE THEATER with a full audience singing along just the way the good Lord intended

Amazing night watching classic Popeye cartoons in a dang MOVIE THEATER with a packed laughing audience just like the good Lord intended. Plus a mini Futurama reunion with Billy West and Maurice LaMarche! Excellent show FleischerToons, can't wait for the next one!

Over 1/3 funded in its' first weekend! THANK you all so much. I know many are struggling right now, but please share and RT if you can't donate!

It is damn MARVELOUS to me how three indie films, two horror and one animated, are DESTROYING the box office right now while barely anyone gives a fart about the latest Star Wars product. I hope this is the big wake up call to studios - to let artists create and tell the stories they want to tell
