Felix Colgrave @felixcolgrave.bsky.social · 02/07/2026I routinely see kids products that come in the 2 options "Dinosaur" or "Unicorn"- which apart from the obvious, annoys me because one gets science and one gets mythology. This could easily be fixed by swapping dinosaurs with dragons, or, hear me out, aggressively marketing Cambrian sea life to girls 451418326
Felix Colgrave @felixcolgrave.bsky.social · 17/06/2026I've never seen the movie Black Swan but every swan I've seen in my life looks like this, so I can only assume it's about a ballet dancer who is completely normal 747540
Felix Colgrave @felixcolgrave.bsky.social · 06/06/2026"why does nobody remember this" I say, holding up a DVD of a 2006 live action CatDog movie. Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson frown at each other in prosthetics that don't quite resemble a cat or a dog. Their lower bodies are connected by a CG tube. A tiny blue Will Ferrell leers at them from a mouse hole 141146245
Felix Colgrave @felixcolgrave.bsky.social · 02/06/2026It's hard being a Cartoon Knower (strictly professional) and a parent, when other parents try to bond over how bewildered they are by childrens media. "My kid's always watching that- what is it- Pikachu show?" Haha no I hadn't heard of it either, for I too was grown in a lab already thirty 861433
Felix Colgrave @felixcolgrave.bsky.social · 21/05/2026"real cinema is all about story" "real music is about lyricism" "real game design isn't about graphics" - quotes from the discerning Sensory Information Hater.

Felix Colgrave @felixcolgrave.bsky.social · 03/05/2026I always see nonpartisan, righteous anger at public art. Everyone loves to hate a concrete blob bought with taxpayer money, what's it even meant to be etc. My hot take: art funding is good and there's no benign policy for keeping out 'bad' art. You really just gotta fund it until a good one happens 23991164
Felix Colgrave @felixcolgrave.bsky.social · 22/03/2026I'd like a large scale data visualisation of which different 'creatives' hang out. Do painters and clowns go to the same parties? As an animator I cross paths with game devs and puppeteers, but do they know each other? And most importantly why do I have so many mutual friends with improv comedians 1530313
Felix Colgrave @felixcolgrave.bsky.social · 16/03/2026I know exactly how many cats are in my house. I keep it at a consistent value. Moths and spiders, no idea. Mystery number. They come and go through little doors I don't even know about 6914160
Felix Colgrave @felixcolgrave.bsky.social · 13/03/2026Aside from the obvious, what's really dumb about the word "content", is that "contents" only exist in relation to a container- so in this context, a literal web container, on a page. Div fillers. Sure mate, your rectangle is the star of the show. What's wrong you haven't eaten your plate toppers 435039
Felix Colgrave @felixcolgrave.bsky.social · 05/03/2026(explaining the concept of singing but badly underselling it) Imagine poetry, but if it was done by a trumpet 429537
Felix Colgrave @felixcolgrave.bsky.social · 23/02/2026Here is episode 2! I did the sound and music for both of these. I should also mention the "sound" largely consists of me barking like a little dog. If you would enjoy hearing me, impersonating a small dog, then hoo boy!

Felix Colgrave @felixcolgrave.bsky.social · 14/01/2026Eating a vegetable: This is sensible. This is how plants should taste. This is grass and wood at its most edible Eating a fruit: This is a delicately crafted lure. Flesh engorged with sugar to attract me like a bird, to fill me up with seeds. A sexual organ. This is the reverse of the Jumanji plant 6636110
Felix Colgrave @felixcolgrave.bsky.social · 01/01/2026The USA does frightening alchemy to corn, makes it into battery acid or whatever, but at least they have corn. Australia is the USA with no corn. The British just rocked up and ignored every plant like "gee I hope we can make baked beans grow here or we're fucked" 540833
Felix Colgrave @felixcolgrave.bsky.social · 22/12/2025"users quickly bypassed the AI's safeguards by prompting it to roleplay as"- ok so what I'm hearing again and again, is they've built a dumb guy in a Bugs Bunny cartoon. You just gotta run back into frame in a wedding dress and now the AI thinks you're getting married. Robots are now all Elmer Fudd 71538392
Felix Colgrave @felixcolgrave.bsky.social · 01/12/2025Saw 1 episode of the new Alien show, and whatever, not really for me, BUT it's set 100 years in the future and in one scene some kids watch Ice Age 4?? People watch old movies of course, but not MOST old movies- and that has to be the funniest prediction as to what will stand the test of time 529812
Felix Colgrave @felixcolgrave.bsky.social · 21/11/2025Hi these weren't shipping to the US for a while, but now they are again! You might not know it yet but this rat is your new favourite cartoon character.

Felix Colgrave @felixcolgrave.bsky.social · 25/10/2025In the 2010s Australian bands were all called "Bear and Fox" and all the street art was wistful paintings of stags and wolves. A celebration of nature, but a different nature, on the computer. Boreal yearning in the stomp clap colony. We didn't have the technology to romanticise emus 124216
Felix Colgrave @felixcolgrave.bsky.social · 18/10/2025I can no longer play from memory any of the Bach or Debussy or whatever that I learnt as a child doing piano recitals, but I can still play the arrangement I transcribed of the music from the snowboard level in Zoombinis Mountain Rescue 637617
Felix Colgrave @felixcolgrave.bsky.social · 16/10/2025Advertisers clamber over each other to quickly make ads in cool new styles while they're still associated with cool new things, and not associated ads. AI generated ads bravely buck that trend, by using the shit new style all consumers hate and associate with spam and propaganda 847058
Felix Colgrave @felixcolgrave.bsky.social · 30/09/2025On Tasmanian souvenirs you will see this motif of people, devils, teddies etc with 2 heads. It's never explicit, but the joke is: we are inbred! It's a cartoon congenital disorder. I have no idea how a tourist is meant to guess this, so I guess it's an in-joke, for Tasmanians to enjoy, in every shop 216111
Felix Colgrave @felixcolgrave.bsky.social · 20/09/2025My best/worst one was years ago when I was high in the Gallery of NSW- so of course in the gift shop I bought one of those kids magic crystal garden growing kits. I put it on the counter and the cashier said "are you Felix Colgrave" 328913

Felix Colgrave @felixcolgrave.bsky.social · 16/08/2025After getting this spider beanie baby named "Godfrey" from a Chemist Warehouse discount bin, my 6 year old has been finding toy spiders and naming them "God Two", "God One", "God Zero", and mused this morning, "I'm thinking of having 100 Gods". 13859181

Felix Colgrave @felixcolgrave.bsky.social · 24/07/2025The fact that the Australian Broadcasting Company gave all the merchandising rights for Bluey to the British Broadcasting Company, is maddening. It's the AUKUS deal of animation. With all that money, just think, Australia would be able to afford TWO cartoons 1045353
Felix Colgrave @felixcolgrave.bsky.social · 21/07/2025People exemplify characters like Hello Kitty + Labubu as peak capitalism because they exist solely for merch. 100% true, but the designs have to appeal on their own- Spiderman or Star Wars can move mountains of equally trash products, but uglier, where the only value is a reference. Kinda worse IMO 1239427
Felix Colgrave @felixcolgrave.bsky.social · 05/07/2025Gen AI sucks and would Miyazaki agree, yeah sure, BUT that quote about "an insult to life itself" is specifically about body horror being ableist. Someone procedurally made 3D bodies flail around and said "these could be zombies" and he said "that's really mean." A completely different valid take 81000192
