60 episodes of television that nurtured my love of animation (1 ep per show, in chronological order). My 17th choice is from the show "Home Movies" (1999). The episode "Dad" (s 2 e 7) has the wry dry humor of the show and the fantastic realized characters. Such A+ writing. youtu.be/a0SFSH7P38A?...

60 episodes of television that nurtured my love of animation (1 ep per show, in chronological order). One show I was completely wrong about was the Powerpuff Girls. It is a show that is very well written and very funny, with three very spunky and fun heroines... youtu.be/EnfqQR2fuDQ?...

60 episodes of television that nurtured my love of animation (in chronological order, 1 per show). My 12th choice is from Aeon Flux (1995). A show that is all style, Aeon Flux is as mid 90s as a show can get. "A last time for everything" is the show at its peak. Fun, action, spy stuff, and style.

I rewatched Elio and I still don’t get the hate this movie gets. Is it because something can’t just be good nowadays? The story is a little rickety, but there’s genuine emotion and the jokes land. It zips by. It‘s in the middle of my Pixar rankings. Worth watching.
