What I really want to know about Pokémon Pokopia: will that narrator be part of the game? Because that may single-handedly kill all my interest in buying it.

I got to see this in theatres last night and oh my gosh it was brilliant. Not only my favorite animated film of the year, but my third-favorite film of the year overall.

There were 16 people in the audience (all adults) and everyone was so responsive to it. Hand-drawn animated cinema is not dead!
2D animation is booming in theaters. In China, the film Nobody is outgrossing many of Hollywood's recent CG films—on a $10< million budget.

It's only one example. As 2D films rise, Hollywood's decision to kill them off looks shortsighted. We explore:

The test ride for Kirby Air Riders is so much fun! Though I’m a little bummed that Swerve Star isn’t an option for it. Guess I’ll just have to get the full game when it comes out!

What a wonderful thing to watch while eating soup 🥣

The collab I recently joined, reanimating select songs from modern fall classic, Over the Garden Wall, has premiered! Over 150 talented animators helped put this together 🙂 Thank you, @punchcatstudios.bsky.social!

#PokemonLegendsZA is the first ever video game to depict what it would be like if wild animals were free to roam around Mall of America.

So far #PokemonLegendsZA is pretty fun. The city isn’t quite as fun to explore as a full region with different biomes, mountains, forests,etc. I kinda feared that would be the case. But the new battle system is really neat, the music is fire, and - as always - it’s inherently fun to build up a team!

The music of #PokemonLegendsZA sounds like music I’d hear on The Weather Channel growing up and I can think of no higher compliment.

Got 100% on Silksong after 85 hours. I mostly loved my time with it. It’s brilliant. But you have no idea how excited I am to play something as easy as a new Pokémon game in just a few days.

I knew they’d come for the archivists and librarians but honestly I assumed it would be for a reason better than “Our Special Boy wants to give his friend a sword! Give him a sword!”
“They asked for a sword, and we said, ‘Well, we do have swords, but we can’t give them away because they’re museum artifacts,’” said Todd Arrington, forced to resign as head of Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library.”

#LastFourWatched

- My first PTA film! Probably the best movie of the year??
- An absurd and comically low-budget flick made in Fargo, featuring an old professor of mine and various Cartoon Network alum.
- Hyping myself up for Part 2!
- One of the most beautiful short films I’ve seen in a while.

Happy Pacman World 2 Re-Pac release day!!

To celebrate, I'm giving away a free copy of the game!! Just like and repost to enter! #BandaiNamcoCreator

The amount of hype that One Battle After Another is getting has convinced me to go out and see it next week.

I think the worst thing coming from its popularity is that, every single time I read the title,I immediately think of that extremely generic 2010s pop song “ONE FOOT in front of the OTHER~!”
