1) the director of INSIDE OUT wants you to believe movies are “just entertainment“ with nothing to say. Anyone offended by a family with 2 dads or a kid with a pink bike (what was cut from Elio) is a homophobic shithead and you shouldn’t make movies to appease them. Kids aren’t born hateful.

The smart people who are Trump supporters are in on the grift.
… I hope Pixar keeps this up. Stanton doing Toy Story 5 is encouraging. I hope Shi has more creative control over her next project.
The reason Hoppers is so exciting for Pixar is that despite always being films made by committees Pixar always work best when films feel auteur driven. My least favourite Pixar films you can see the formula. Incredibles feels like Bird, Turning Red like Shi, and Hoppers feels like Chong…
It‘s really good!!! Hey, what if Pixar just made something really entertaining and VERY funny. I hope people support this gem.
A Penguins Memory: A tale of happiness is a 1985 anime about a cartoon penguin‘s battle with PTSD following the Vietnam War. You think it will be silly but it’s actually very well done and affecting. Heres the whole thing on YouTube youtu.be/fk3UfjQ7d-Q
EXCLUSIVE: Watch the first teaser for Cartoon Saloon's 'Kindred Spirits,' the new animated feature in development from studio co-founder Tomm Moore ('The Secret of Kells,' 'Song of the Sea'). www.cartoonbrew.com/feature-film...
It was you! Thank you.
I have found so much hard to find stuff on Tubi. Not just anime but international films and hard to find animation. I haven’t really explored Retrocrush.
My apologies to whoever shared this with me the other day. I saw it and didn’t respond and now can’t find it. Thank you for sharing it. I finally watched it, and it is indeed wonderful. youtu.be/ucRulNQsuYQ
Yeah, it's imperfect. Ultimately these things are just about discovery. There's a few here I haven't seen. Don't read the comments. They just get into the weeds about the rules.
(2) Having said that, All the movies on the list are excellent. It’s a great resource to fill out missing gaps you might have.
Letterboxd top 250 animated films isn’t THAT far off my top 100 (which I might need to redo one day). It is a little silly though and reveals the limitations of film bro Letterboxd which favours current and more trendy films. Disney and Pixar may be untrendy, but their underrepresentation is silly…
(5) Finally at 1 I have 25 ways to quit smoking. This is what Plympton does best. The constant momentum of creativity. The sketchy animation. The dry monotonous narration. It’s a great short. youtu.be/LqiJTgORBLc
(4) at 2 I have Santa the Fascist Years. The premise has been repeated so many times over the years it’s a cliche in 2026, but the newsreal approach and the art keeps it fresh. youtu.be/XgRC427hpTU
(3) At 3 I have his first short Your Face. I think Plympton is at his best when he takes a simple premise and explores it in surreal ways. This is why he struggles with features. I do think his early work owes a lot to Svankmajer. This is a breezy short film. youtu.be/WVfKyWmrQZQ
(2) At 4 I have Horn Dog. Plympton would make 4 short films with his dog protagonist. Horn Dog is basically Fixed with 25% more boundary pushing and way more unexpected tangents. youtu.be/egfERFk5Lhk
![Sex and Violence(1997) - Short Film [CENSORED]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5ytjdmopnvpzu3ap6caaa2n7/bafkreiggpjj24huguonji4idobkbjaeb477ho5gxau4zlh2rpogyxhb4de@jpeg)
My list this week is top 5 animated shorts by Bill Plympton, ranked. Often juvenile and pushing the boundaries of taste, Plympton’s sketchy independent animation is best experienced in short form. At 5 I have the properly titled Sex and Violence. (Censored version) youtu.be/SCyNNlBzQ1s
Script writers too.
It’s almost like there is a treasure trove of great stories and characters they could adapt, rather than whatever they were trying to do. Decades of storytelling.
(1) Who else would be the greatest animated pig? He's the archetype and the best straight man ever. Porky is the king of animated pigs. I know I missed a few and even have some I am regretting as I type this. Porky would be #1 on all my lists.
(2) Hamm. All right. I guess technically Hamm and Piglet are toys more than pigs, but they are such great characters I will let it slide.
(3) Porco Rosso. Marked down because except for a few puns he's not really a pig, he just looks like one. Pretty cool dude, and these days it's important to remember it's better to be a pig than a fascist.
(4) Piglet. Pooh's best bud. He might not be my favourite in the hundred acre woods, but he's still adorable.
Good day for distractions, and I just found out today is national Pigs day, so off the top of the dome here are my top 5 animated pigs...
(5) Peter Porker (Spider Ham). Comic relief in Into the Spider Verse, and woefully underused in Beyond. How does he not have his own show?
Angels Egg now streaming on HBO Max in the states. I haven’t checked where it’s streaming in Canada where I live. This is wild and great considering the hoops I had to go through the see it the 1st time.
I wish they made the movie they were once planning.
I wonder if they kept the Mission Accomplished banner
I loved Kids on the Slope, especially the 2nd half. Beck is very of its time, but I liked most of it. Blue Giant was pretty good, but the plot is predictable and a little cliche. I haven’t seen Sound Euphonium.
