Just to get a sense of how brilliant #BradBird is when it comes to #animation, check out this ancient pencil test from his post-CalArts days at #Disney. It’s formatted as a trailer for “The Spirit”, an adaptation of Will Eisner’s #comics. Watch. www.youtube.com/watch

#BradBird is back directing #animation with his original script “Ray Gunn” which is already in production. Animation will be handled by #Cinesite and #Skydance Animation Madrid and is a #scifi #noir about the last human detective. #movies www.cartoonbrew.com/feature-f…

I’m not sure the downside indicated is an actual downside. From all indications, the #LiveAction How To Train Your Dragon is fantastic, bucking the trend of such remakes. I just hope the flying scenes evoke the same emotions as the originals. #movies #animation #httyd www.slashfilm.com/1825943/h…

Good news, everyone! Okay, just #animation lovers, but it’s still great news! Warner Bros. CEO Zaslav vaulted Coyote VS. ACME for tax reasons, but it’s now being released by Ketchup, makers of The Day The Earth Blew Up. It’s official, but we don’t have a date yet. #movies www.slashfilm.com/1823161/c…

#Panasonic has commissioned the creation of an Original Video #Animation, commonly known as an #OVA. It’s not for marketing, per se, but a fairy tale promoting a belief in ourselves to perceive the world more positively. #OsakaKansaiExpo #2025 #LandOfNOMO www.youtube.com/watch

LA is my hometown. The #Capitalism segment of #Hollywood is dwarfed by the creatives who make the media we love. They should be paid and not replaced by #AI. Now watch Mikey’s video about the sign. #film #TV #animation #music www.youtube.com/watch

I love the #Animation work that comes out of #Gobelins, and this has to be one of my new faves! #anime #shortfilm #film #YouTube #art www.youtube.com/watch

I’m cautiously optimistic. #Disney has clearly learned lessons as the #LiveAction Lilo & Stitch trailer hits a lot of recognizable beats from the source, but they’ve also made a lot of changes. I fear too much, but we’ll see. #animation #movies www.youtube.com/watch

If you’ve ever watched Space Ghost Coast to Coast on #CartoonNetwork then you know George Lowe. He voiced Space Ghost and the show was a key element in the development of CN’s late night block, #AdultSwim. He passed away on March 2nd. #animation #TV #RIP www.yahoo.com/entertain…

I can’t agree with @kotaku.com about most on this list. #Disney #liveaction adaptations are mostly wretched & soulless, aside from #2 The Jungle Book and #1 Pete’s Dragon, both from 2016. Lilo & Stitch might get on my list, though. #film kotaku.com/disney-li…
