the #tadc finale is a masterpiece in how it recontextualizes so much of the story told before it. it gives new meaning to so much dialogue and character dynamics, and reframes the circus' role in the story as an engine for growth and acceptance on such a deep level. just stunning storytelling

Lore and history only should be relevant for what are you saying in the first place and unless your world/lore is actually the main point of the story there *SHOULD* be avenues left unexplored, that's what life is. but saying 'they never explored X' is not a sign of a 'loose end'.

If you watched the Among Us tv show and enjoyed it but then asked "who is this show targeted at?" it's you! It was targeted at you! You're not an advertising exec. You don't need to know intended age, gender, and region breakdowns. None of those things affect your experience. It was you! Congrats!

Pictures from the red carpet premiere of “The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act”! All of this is still so unreal to me and I don’t think I’m ever going to fully grasp it…but I’m so grateful for everything. Thank you all for your support and for making this happen. ♥️ 🎪

going to see the last act in a couple hours but I took a moment to think about how if you told me 6 years ago (when I first got into animation) that a show I loved would get a worldwide theatrical release for its finale, I would've called you crazy. (🧵)

Let your children watch slightly older than age-appropriate scary movies/shows. Let them feel scared watching something fictional on a TV and walk them through their feelings. It's better to practice this way than to have to do it for the first time when something scary happens in real life.

I’m so sick of former bird app takes, I want to hear everyone’s parenting hot takes

90% of my animation friends are unemployed. I'm on hiatus. The value of animation is proven every year. Greenlight new shows! Don't overdevelop. Don't chase trends. You can't chase trends w/ animation! It takes too long! Tell good stories. Take risks."Demon Hunters" was a risk & look how it paid off

Animation ruled streaming in 2025. Again. Nielsen data shows 'Bluey' repeated as the most-watched title across all genres, while 'KPop Demon Hunters' was the most-watched movie, and Seth MacFarlane won the inaugural Streaming Icon of the Year award. www.cartoonbrew.com/streaming/ni...

this thread is super eye-opening about the more recent approaches of streaming platforms and the extent to which they will go just to not have to change their business model that evidently does not serve them or audiences 🥴 wild times we live in

In the last few weeks I've spoken to two executives at a major streamer - one in adult animation, one in preschool content for both animation and live action - and both basically told me the same thing: they're looking for YouTube success stories with huge subscriber bases. 🧵
