Uncovering History through Graphic Novels — Lisa Yelon

History should not stay hidden; these books share truths, no matter how painful.

Pixar receives a $26.2 Million Tax credit to keep film jobs in CA, and immediately lays off 10% of its work force, after making over a billion from Toy Story 5, the highest-grossing film of 2026.

Pixar's Layoffs Came Days After Receiving a $26 Million Tax Credit. So I Wrote California Officials.

State tax incentives should create and retain jobs for Californians, not subsidize corporate layoffs.

Excited to be heading to #annecyfilmfestival! I’ll have two projects with me, To the Other Side feature & Aurora short film, happy to not shut up about either. Looking forward to meeting old and new friends, particularly anyone in the animated documentary space. If this is you, let’s connect 🤝

I need ALA to bring these back. Please I’m begging you 🙏

There were a lot

Teaser for our film! 🫶 To the Other Side tells the story of a Tiger and his older sister, Rabbit, who leave home to play a game. To win, they must travel across endless lands and make it to the finish line, but the obstacles along the way are more dangerous than they imagined. #indieanimation

A collection of shadow animation by Andreu Campos for The Breadwinner (2017), dir. Nora Twomey, Cartoon Saloon

Trump should show up here at the L.A. County ballot processing center because he’d learn within five minutes this is democracy in action, not some conspiracy.

I really NEED more people to watch “Orb: on the movements of the Earth”, it got buried in Netflix and there’s no dub, so probably why it had less attention, but it’s fantastic. It’ll change your life 🫵

I read Persepolis in high school; we had one copy in the library. At the time, it blew me away that you could make comics with so much heart like this, about memory, displacement, conflict, etc. I've read and watched the movie plenty of times. Will forever be grateful for all Marjane Satrapi gave us

Rest In Power

The craziest thing about the AI boosters is when they say “you can’t do this without AI” “I can’t make an event flyer without AI” when we all remember just 3 years ago how we all got along fine without it.

Moho users! Do you guys stick to the default brushes, or do you have a particular textury custom brush that you like? Looking for something that will pair well with line boil.

cant ever pinpoint when #indieanimationday actually is, but anyway here’s something I’ve been doing: Aurora is a horror short film about violence, displacement and terror surrounding mining and mega projects in Latin America, with a monster twist. Like all these projects, still hunting for funds 🥹

Man, lots of talks and sessions dedicated to AI in the programming for Annecy this year. Really ramming this shit down, uh? There was a big rejection of it in previous years, but wondering if this will hold this year...

This is comical…

I was kinda bummed cause my GN didn't even make it in (was it even submitted? only god and the publisher will know) but I take my bumness back. Until they fix this, fuck these awards.

The 2026 Eisner Nominations Includes the First Work Featuring AI?

Been slowly working on Aurora, a short film about violence, displacement, and terror surrounding mining and mega projects in Latin America, with a monster twist. It’s been a sloooow process; finding funds is always the main problem, but slowly it’s getting there. It’ll get made, for sure!

I was skeptical about the new Fist of the North Star, but it has grown on me. The English dub is abysmal, but if you have a few beers on you, it’s the funniest time you’ll have

I love when grants make you create a new reel, a whole ass video essay that could've been a written paragraph, just to never even watch them and turn you down. Everything has analytics now. Like...if you're going to make people do all of that, at least pretend? 🤷‍♂️

Oscar Isaac was in the Criterion Closet and he’s the first guy who I think properly understood that he gets all the movies for free and just overloaded the bag

It finally got announced! If you know me, you’ve seen me drawn this little guy throughout the years. Happy to see him finally get his spotlight. If you liked the OG Dragon Ball, then this book is for you.

Cartoon Modern and this were bangers. I know that over the years Amid from CB rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, but his books on the history of UPA were unmatched

The book Inside UPA is a visual tour of one of the greatest animation studios of all time. With its author's permission, we've shared the whole thing online for free. Our latest issue dives into the book and UPA's place in animation history: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/stepping-i...
