R.I.P. Arnold Spielberg (1917-2020). A distinguished electrical engineer, World War II veteran, and father of the world's most iconic filmmaker.

Anakin Skywalker's secondary career is destroyed by a group of industry rivals which may or may have not included Ahsoka Tano.

From a pure nostalgia/wonderment perspective, I'd go with 2001-2002 for all the memories I had of watching EEnE, Courage, Samurai Jack, Sheep in the Big City, Time Squad, Powerpuff Girls and the occasional reruns of Johnny Bravo and Dexter's, and I also have a lot of nostalgia for Cartoon...

"Genndy Tartakovsky hired as the new creative director of ImageMovers, will direct Beowulf 2" "Richard Dawkins to produce a docuseries for Butch Hartman's OAXIS" "John Kricfalusi to receive the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award"

He'll be immortalized not only as a modern-day cinematic icon but as an emblem of hope and empowerment for the Black community. R.I.P.

At the rate that Disney is going, I honestly wouldn't put this outside the realm of possibility.

All this time, I thought Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends would be the Craig McCracken cartoon that would inevitably be rebooted in some form of live-action (i.e. a Roger Rabbit-esque hybrid). A live-action CW Powerpuff Girls produced by Greg Berlanti with the premise being low-key...

A live-action TV series was a horrible idea to begin with and I hope it gets cancelled. What PapaGreg said is absolutely correct. A:TLA is already one of the very few American animated series to reach the same "prestige TV" status as all the acclaimed HBO/Showtime/AMC dramas. Remaking it in...

The animated spin-off series that Minority Report never had. The bad news is that it doesn't have Steven Spielberg's brilliant direction. The good news is that the lead character isn't a Scientologist.

The Adventures of Tinactin: The Secret of the Ringworm

There's a word for it: bathos. It's the main reason why I merely like most MCU movies instead of loving them (and it's also why I'm extremely disappointed with the direction they're going with Black Widow's solo movie). To bring this discussion into cartoons, "bathos" is also the problem I had...

It's not just the protagonist archetype but the overall tone and format of modern kids cartoons. Nowadays, many of them place emphasis on lore/worldbuilding and strive for inclusivity and cultural sensitivity in a way that 90's/00's cartoons didn't. I think you can (and IMO should) have...

This is what the Deadline article says about the art/animation: "The innovative series’ visual style is described as a fresh take on graphic realism done in a traditional 2D way, using modern tools." Anyway, I'll be keeping an eye out on this one.

I'll be changing my avatar soon to correspond with my upcoming new username (Darkdawn), but in the meantime... My current avatar is Violet Evergarden, the eponymous protagonist of a lovely 13-episode anime series by KyoAni adapted from the light novels by Kana Akatsuki. I've discovered over the...

Does anyone else feel it's odd that AT&T didn't just pay out Disney-owned Hulu so they could have this as a "MAX Original" instead? Because IMO this is the kind of high-profile animated exclusive that would've actually been perfect for a WarnerMedia all-in-one streaming service. If they held off...
