The Triplets of Belleville is so good.

Have some concept art from The Prince of Egypt by Paul Lasaine. The detail in these paintings really is striking, especially knowing how they translated into the final film.

A new look at Bong Joon Ho's new animated film Ally has been revealed alongside news that the film will premiere in South Korea in July 2027. I'm really curious to see what he does in animation, especially with the interesting premise that he's developing.

Eva Marie Saint was a Hollywood icon. Despite having only appeared in a number of movies, having films like On the Waterfront, Grand Prix, and especially North by Northwest are gems to have. Also, I loved her as the elderly Katara in Legend of Korra. I'm sad to hear she's gone.

Here's some early concept art from an early version Monsters Inc by Harley Jessup. It's interesting knowing this version of the film was really influenced by Paper Moon, which is a film that has really seeped through all of Pete Docter's films.

The fact that Coyote Vs. Acme both managed to be somewhat of a box office success after all it went through really is proof that execs do not know anything about what the audience wants from films. And I'm glad it was one because it deserved to be since it was just great.

Here's a concept art sketch of Hoppers drawn by Daniel Chong. It's such a We Bare Bears sketch and you can still feel his touch all over the film. Just such a hilarious and special ride.

I wanna show Corpse Bride a little love. Always find this such a sweet film from Tim Burton.

Netflix has confirmed that the sequel to KPop Demon Hunters will debut through a theatrical rollout worldwide rather than immediately debut on streaming. It's honestly a relief and exciting since I wanna see more films on the big screen and eager to see what Huntrix does next.

Song of the Sea is still one of the richest, most beautifully designed animated films of the last decade. There's no way anything other than the warm human touch can create anything this beautiful and haunting like we get from the fine folks at Cartoon Saloon.

I still think Kung Fu Panda 2 is the best entry in the franchise. The emotional highs of that film are so rich and the scene where Po remembers his past still is just as haunting as it was in 2011.

Forgotten Island is a terrific film. It’s a riveting emotional roller coaster filled with some of the best sequences DreamWorks has ever crashed with top tier animation and a fun protagonist duo. It’s one of the best animated film of the year. I’ll give you my full review soon.

Elemental is still just a charmer. I'm glad the film was able to find the audience it has because it really is a sweet film and the colors in it are amazing.

I still believe that Ghibli's pairing of Grave of the Fireflies and My Neighbor Totoro as a double feature is genius. It seems strange on paper, but they both work as a way of showing childhood innocence, with Grave being about its death and Totoro being about its blossoming.

I came across concept art some more of Mary Blair's concept art from Cinderella and I'm always in love with her work. There's something about the colors here that really captures a certain mood.

Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom is another delight from Aardman. It’s another witty film featuring the flock filled with lots of Halloween gags and also more fantastic hand made stop motion. I’m so happy to see it on the big screen. I’ll give you my full review soon.

When it comes to animated films from the last decade that really ripped my heart out, one of the biggest is Wolf Children. I still think this is Mamoru Hosada's masterpiece and easily one of the best films about parenthood I've ever seen. It's an emotional rollercoaster.

Professor Ratigan in The Great Mouse Detective is such a fun villain. Then again, it's hard not to have fun with Vincent Price.

This year has really given me more hope for films in the future. Hollywood won't ever be perfect, but considering that many of them have been very good, and the fact that movie theaters are thriving once again, it really does make me excited for the future of films.

Here's some concept art from Tangled by Lisa Keene. I love the Rococo influence in these bits of concept art, as the art looks pulled from the 18th century, especially given that one is an homage to the painting, The Swing.

One of the biggest reasons The Wild Robot really has such a strong heart really is thanks to its voice acting. Everyone here really helps bring Chris Sanders' script to a whole new level and it's just such a gut punch. I can't wait for the sequel.

I just got out of Cocoon: One Summer of Girlhood and it was such an emotional and heartbreaking experience. It’s a beautifully animated film with strong Ghibli vibes and devastating war imagery. It’s not an easy watch, but I was moved greatly. I recommend it highly.

Fifty years ago today, Aardman Animations started making films and changed the face of stop motion forever. Their quirky British films have such a lovable and fun charm to them and have led to some great characters like Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the Sheep. Simply wonderful.

One thing that I'm glad about from this decade is that a couple of animated projects were initally scrapped by the studios but eventually saved and released to great success. Both Nimona and Coyote Vs. Acme proves that stupid execs and corporations really can't kill great art.

It's heartbreaking that Phil Tippett is having to auction off many on his legendary stop motion props because of his studio declaring bankruptcy. He did a lot for films and animation with his work. I hope these props end up in museums like the Academy Museum or the Lucas Museum.

The release of Coyote Vs. Acme got me thinking about the other Looney Tunes projects from this decade and it made me remember Bye Bye Bunny and it's cancelation. It's still disappointing knowing we could've gotten a musical Looney Tunes films and maybe one day it can be revived.

Coyote Vs Acme is a pure delight. After a long fight to get it released, this is a wonderful Looney Tunes/Roger Rabbit tribute with great comedy, good sentiment, a riveting story, and funny performances from Will Fortune and John Cena. Loved it. I’ll give you my review soon.

Tim Curry was an icon. Any time he showed up on a film or show, he was always a treat and he made a lot of animated projects special. Hearing of his death at 80 really has me heartbroken. God, I’m really gutted.

Dolly Parton was such a sweetheart and always a warm presence to watch. Either through her music or films, it was always a treat to see her and I'm so sad to hear that she passed at the age of 80 today. I'm really gonna miss her.

I'm still in disbelief that Coyote Vs. Acme is officially coming out this week. It not only managed to escape the jaws of death from being scrapped after finished, but also managed to get released in theaters like intended and not dumped on streaming. I cannot wait to see it.

I still remember how much Whisper of the Heart spoke to me when I was going through all the Studio Ghibli films. It really is one of those special films that any aspiring creator should see to show why you should let your heart speak to you. Easily one of their best films.

I'm shocked and devastated to hear that Hayden Panettiere passed away at 36. She did a lot of voice work and I'll probably remember her best for voicing Dot in A Bug's Life and characters in Kingdom Hearts. The fact she died so young is just terrible.

It's crazy to think that Coyote Vs. Acme will be here in less than a month after all it went through. Hearing stories of promising films that get rescued always is a treat and with the great buzz this is getting, I'm so excited to see this in a theater as it was meant to be.
