With remberances of Eric Bauza continuing, I just wanted to recommend this movie. Despite being such an odd and funny animated comedy, his performances in it are inspiring www.amazon.com/gp/video/det...

Watch The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie | Prime Video

Porky Pig and Daffy Duck are Earth's only hope when facing the threat of alien invasion in this richly-crafted, hand-drawn 2D animated adventure that marks the first fully-animated feature-length film in Looney Tunes history.

during the 2023 WGA strike. a real one.

Heartbrreaking to learn the news of Eric Bauza's passing. He was so amazingly talented on top of being a great guy who was a joy to work with. RIP

Yeah but a cup of woims could support a whole family back then, now you can barely afford to buy gas with them.

WELL IT’S WEDNESDAY AGAIN

Animation? In-house???? Love to see it! If anyone was going to be able to make this work, it was going to be these guys.

1/2 - Exclusive: The season two premiere of Adventure Time: Side Quests was animated largely in-house, with the team completing the episode in 20 weeks. Showrunner Nate Cash and supervising director Victor Courtright tell us how they did it. www.cartoonbrew.com/series/adven...

A few days ago was the 10th anniversary of Right Now Kapow airing its first episode. I'm sure I'll post more about it and more clips this week but let's start with this sketch that @cozyjamble.bsky.social pitched long before we actually had a baby together www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDTA...

People keep asking me if I’m allowing myself to imagine the Knicks winning. I’ll never see the Knicks win a title because if they win, I’ll instantly be such a fundamentally different person that it won’t even really be me anymore.

I've worked at the 'big' studios. While I'm on the writing and showrunning side, none of my projects have used AI in their process. I feel confident about my designers, directors, and story artists doing the same. These folks are convincing themselves 'everyone is doing it'.

"whatever, everyone already uses it anyway so it's fine" is just not really the message a sorry person promotes. I'm frustrated by how everyone just gave him the benefit of the doubt. I'm not feeling very forgiving when this is the messaging. I don't think I'm being unreasonable either

This is a real bummer. Strip Law is extremely funny and everyone should watch it

Cullen@hellocullen.bsky.social · 6mo ago

so they told me theres not going to be anymore strip law at Netflix i really cant be anything but grateful. at every phase it was made by talented people in pursuit of nothing but pure chaotic delirious joy and im so so proud of it thank you to everyone who gave it chance I thought it was funny

Tech companies: Add AI nonsense to everything even though it makes their product actively worse at its job. AI boosters: "Uh, if you don't like AI, you better stop using all the those tech platforms." I'd love to stop using them but they don't make stuff that doesn't suck anymore

Another cool thing about my first comic story starring Animal Man is that the first DC animation I ever co-wrote ALSO starred Animal Man. So buy "DC's I Saw Ma Hunkel Kissing Santa Claus" in stores now and watch DC Nation's "Animal Man" on youtube anytime in the last 12 years!

My first published comic story is out! Also the anthology is PACKED with great stories I was excited to read and thrilled to be in the company of. You gotta check this out if you're a fan holidays, love, or me!

I wrote a comic! I've got a ten page story in the upcoming Holliday special, DC's I Saw Ma Hunkel Kissing Santa Claus! It's out on November 26th! I've been lucky enough to write DC super heroes in animation but it feels great to finally write the "real" version of one of them!

I’m finally seeing the new Fantastic Four movie today but in honor of Jack Kirby I’m starting work on an original idea while I wait for the showtime

I've been going by Lee and using he/him pronouns with friends and now you are invited to do so as well! hi!

I met Ray Harryhausen at a film festival where I had just won a teen filmmaker award. He shook my hand, congratulated me, and was happy to hear I also made stop motion shorts (I had won for something else). Just a really nice guy!

Screw "never meeting your heroes." What were some times you met your heroes and they were super cool?

Many of you know that Hollywood has been hit really hard by a massive downturn in production. Animation is no different, and possibly hit harder so animation workers were already hurting. Please give what you can to animation workers on this list who lost their homes: airtable.com/appugwkqKAVG...

I can’t believe there are people who are like: “Do you still think AI is stupid now that it can make an ad for Coca-Cola that’s a mashup of their previous ads that looks worse and all it costs is an acre of forest?”

Does anyone remember Friendster?

I don’t understand why entertainment outlets write and re-write that “toxic fandom” article without ever going deep on the fact that 90% of the time, heat isn’t coming from “fandom,” it’s coming from right-wing political groups injecting far-right ideas into highly visible subcultures. It’s an op.
