What better way to welcome Pride month than to get a bunch of Sirenetta: Part Time Mermaid kickstarter backed merch from @tinysiren.com 🩷🧜♀️
Suddenly felt like making this today. Making things is hard, but it's magic. And it's worth it. #dungeonflippers
Just finished shipping out the last of our Kickstarter rewards!!! Thank you again to all of our backers, I hope you enjoy all of the mermaid magic when it washes up on your shores!

Some heartbreaking animation news today from people who have been some of my animation heroes. It’s up to us to hold the line and build a better future for animation.
I wish I was surprised but it’s 2026 so of course well respected animators are making AI shows while saying “no no, it’s okay when I do it, I PROMISE”
I need someone to explain how eliminating jobs brings jobs back just… math wise
LAST CHANCE to help @syrenkafilm.bsky.social get over that finish line! PLEASE share our campaign everywhere! And donate if you can! WE are so grateful for the support! #2danimation #mermay #indiefilm www.kickstarter.com/projects/tin...

We’re having an extra magical #MermaidMonday here as the rewards for our Kickstarter are starting to arrive! Still waiting on a few more things from the printer and then we’ll start sending them out to our backers!
between this and Elio, I am so glad I didn't go out and try to "make it" in mainstream animation - they would have broken my heart and laughed at me for it.
ToonHive@toonhive.bsky.social · 4mo agoPixar’s scrapped film ‘BE FRI’ reportedly had a similar tone to ‘KPop Demon Hunters.’ A former staffer claims Disney felt “little boys couldn’t see themselves in it,” allegedly saying, “We can’t have a girl power movie.”
just finished the first spotting session for the Sirenetta movie! My brain is cracked like an egg now but I’m so excited for what comes next! 🎶

We’re out here, we’re just bad at social media
Twin Images@twin-images.bsky.social · 5mo agoWhat's indie animation's aversion to comedy? Every new indie cartoon is Grimdark; existential horror, drama, dark themes, blah, blah, blee, blah. Why doesn't any indie artist just want to make a comedy? Why don't indie artists like fun?

Anyway we should support Julián (Cartoon Saloon) when it comes out! Based on the beautiful kids book "Julián is a Mermaid" and shaping up to be very openly queer in presentation and has a queer writer on the team (Juliany Taveras) Let's support those who aren't afraid of helping tell our stories.
There's really no need for such dismissive language in regards to something that is important to a lot of people. Besides "Luca" is the gayest Pixar movie we'll ever need. deadline.com/2026/03/pixa...
Pixar’s Pete Docter Says Queer ‘Elio’ Storyline Was Axed Because “We’re Making A Movie, Not Hundreds Of Millions Of Dollars Of Therapy”
Pixar Chief Creative Officer Pete Docter explained the animation company's decision to ax a queer storyline in last year's Elio.

This quote isnt just out of touch or disappointing, its fucking dark. Gay people are not a conversation parents need to have with their kids? Knowing gay people exist doesnt require therapy?? Any parents who thinks that way needs to have their kids removed ASAP. Get in a volcano, Pete.
Cosmic Marvel@dailycosmicmarvel.bsky.social · 5mo agoPixar CCO Pete Docter says they removed gay elements from ‘ELIO’ after finding some parents didn’t want entertainment forcing conversations with their kids they weren’t ready for. “We’re making a movie, not hundreds of millions of dollars of therapy.” (via www.wsj.com/business/med...)
