Mavka: The Forest Song

Heard Ukraine came out with a decent animated feature film so checked it out.
It was ok. Decently appealing charcter designs and average animatiion. Story was very simplistic and it's very much a kids movie, but not bad for something not from a major studio.
Won't give the 3d animated features the US or even China a run for their money, but not bad.
A solid 3 out of 5.

Blood Tea and Red String

One of those solo stop motion animated projects.
Honistly this one was very boring to me. As in I had a lot of difficulty staying awake. I get what it was going for, and it did have a story, but it was told poorly with bad pacing and despite being only about a hour long it was too long for the amount of plot it had with scenes dragging on in very badly animated fashion for minutes longer then they probably should.

1 out of 5.
If you want to watch a odd usually one person animated project then check out M dot Strange's work instead.

Found out that the dude who made Where the Dead Go to Die made another film and this time it actually had a coherent plot.
When the Black Birds Fly
Still badly animated, even for it being animated by one guy.
I suspect Jimmy ScreamerClauz is in the same loose indie affiliation that M dot Strange is apart of, who helped out with the sound mixing and production.

Obviously a weird film, and while better than Where the Dead Go to Die, it's still not actually good beyond being extremely weird. I do appreciate that ScreamerClauz has made significant improvements in story telling, I get what he was going for, but the execution in all regards is poor.

oh yeah, and obviously like all his other work, not for the easily offended or faint of heart, but not as bad as Where the Dead.

>Kyle Carrozza, the creative mind behind Cartoon Network’s “Mighty Magiswords,” has been arrested on two counts of child pornography possession. The arrest took place on the morning of Thursday, June 20th, in Burbank, California, by the Burbank Police Department. This followed an investigation conducted by the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force.

>Carrozza faces charges under California penal code 311.11(a) for possession of child pornography. Additionally, he has been charged with an enhanced 311.11(c) charge, which applies to individuals found knowingly in possession of at least 12 videos or 600 images of child pornography. If convicted, Carrozza could be required to register as a sex offender. The severity of the charges could result in either a misdemeanor, carrying a penalty of one year in county jail, or a felony, which could lead to up to five years in state prison.


>Carrozza is best known for his work on “Mighty Magiswords,” an innovative animated series initially released through the Cartoon Network app. The series featured Prohyas and Vambre, sibling warriors who embarked on various quests armed with unique, whimsical swords. “Mighty Magiswords” gained popularity as a digital hit before being greenlit for a full series, running for two seasons and totaling 92 episodes. Although removed from Max, the series remains available for purchase on digital platforms like Prime Video.


>Beyond “Mighty Magiswords,” Carrozza has worked on various other projects, including contributing to “The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish.” His creative contributions to the animation industry have been well-regarded, with many fans appreciating his unique style and storytelling approach. Carrozza’s arrest casts a shadow over his career, leaving fans and colleagues grappling with the stark contrast between his professional achievements and the nature of the charges against him.


>The animation and entertainment community have been shaken by Carrozza’s arrest. Many fans and colleagues are struggling to reconcile the beloved creator’s professional accomplishments with the serious charges against him. Social media has been abuzz with reactions, ranging from shock and disbelief to disappointment and anger. Some fans have expressed their dismay on platforms like Twitter and Reddit, questioning how someone with such a public and celebrated career could be involved in such a crime.


>Industry professionals have also weighed in, emphasizing the importance of separating the art from the artist. However, the severity of the charges has prompted some organizations to distance themselves from Carrozza. Networks and streaming platforms may reevaluate the availability of his past works, and future projects involving Carrozza are likely to face significant scrutiny.

>Youmacon guest, Kyle Carrozza, is accused on X/ Twitter of egregious acts of harassment, stalking, and defamation against a fellow colleague leading to dire consequence. The victim, Ang, is reportedly in a life-threatening condition due to the relentless actions of this alleged abuser. Yet, Youmacon censors and silence hundreds of warnings.


>Kyle Carrozza maliciously accessed private and sensitive NSFW vent artwork created by Ang, a disabled animator, featuring the cartoon character Invader Zim. Using his influence, Carrozza purportedly orchestrated Ang's termination from employment and subsequently blacklisted them within the industry through a deliberate campaign of slander. Furthermore, he reportedly subjected Ang to public humiliationby disseminating this private artwork among their coworkers and acquaintances, all while fabricating damaging falsehoods about Ang's character.


>The consequences of these actions have been devastating. Ang has lost vital health insurance coverage, critically necessary for their health. The medical treatment required is not only exorbitantly expensive but also demands specialized care, making it tragically inaccessible. Ang's life hangs in the balance due to these circumstances, while Kyle Carrozza's alleged actions continue to shield him from the accountability that such severe offenses demand.


>What adds to the gravity of this situation is the concerning silence from Youmacon. Despite the community's outcry and warnings, Youmacon has reportedly ignored and censored hundreds of comments alerting them to this issue. Furthermore, attempts to directly contact Youmacon seem to have been met with futility, as they can no longer be reached, leaving concerned individuals without a means to address this serious matter.

With indies making money to continue production on a reasonable time line isn't straight foward and most projects lose tons of money or don't even get off the ground.

>Why netflix cancel good ideas like this, and dont cancel shit like big mouth
To be overly reductive, money.
Big mouth is cheap and gets lowest common denomination views.
It's safe edgy crafted for today's teens.
It's basically the modern incarnation of a show like Beves and Butt-head.

Bone is one of the best American graphic novels ever created and not doing it high quality would unleash a shitstorm worse than all their other bad adaptations put together. They wouldn't be pissing off nerds into something mildly obscure. They would be pissing off normies on mass. You got to think, the color version of the comic is published by scholastics and thus is in every library with a children's section including every single scool library in north America. So it would cost alot to make fans happy but isn't a sure top 5 mega hit. Normally they would change around stuff to get esg (aka put a chick in it and make it gay) money to make it less of a risk but such a strategy doesn't really work for a IP like Bone.

If it was a traditional network they could lower the risk by getting merchandising rights as well as use ad revenue and dvd sells to double dip, but Netflix kinda sucks at that kind of thing for anything other than stuff that is already a mega hit.

Funding high cost animated series is in a hard spot currently. The industry is still trying to figure out a new model that is reliability profitable.

The sjow has a lore that could have been written much better. Just with the story of Charlie and his father they could have made an edgy lost paradise of our time. Instead, the characters are walking sex jokes, the most disgusting of which is angel dust. The characters swear and curse everytime to make it sound funny. The characters are not developed in the best way possible and just because some of them cry at the end of the season doesn't make the show look any deeper.

I still feel sorry for the people who work on the show, who see their jobs in jeopardy because of the leak, but I feel even more sorry for them for having to put up with vivianne medran's latinx.

Why the religous cartoons are so boring and bland. Most of this kind of cartoons i know seems bad on purpose. One the few actually good cartoons i know are the 2 movies about the old testament that dreamworks made about moses and joseph, i wonder why they dint make a movie about the new testament, and a russian stop motion movie about Jesus.

>Veteran Disney and Pixar Animator Faces 40 Years in French Prison for Child Sex Abuse

>Bolhem Bouchiba, a veteran animator known for his work with Disney and Pixar, is currently awaiting trial in France on serious charges. Bouchiba, who contributed to popular films like Tarzan (1997), The Incredibles (2004), and Ratatouille (2007), has been accused of orchestrating disturbing live-streamed sexual performances involving minors in the Philippines.


>Bouchiba is an animator who worked at Disney and Pixar for decades. Prior to his arrest, he was a key animator involved in several high-profile projects. At Disney, he contributed as an animator for key characters in The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) and Hercules (1997). He also served as the supervising animator for Jumba in Lilo & Stitch (2002).


>In addition, he worked on Oscar-nominated shorts for the studio. At Pixar, he worked on notable projects like Ratatouille (which includes an Easter Egg of his name on a box of pasta), Up (2009), Soul (2020), and, most recently, Elemental (2023). For Dreamworks, he also worked on How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World (2019).


>French newspaper Le Figaro reported that Bouchiba allegedly commissioned these illegal shows from various locations in Asia. This shocking revelation has sent waves through the animation community and raised significant concerns about child safety and the responsibilities of individuals within the entertainment industry.


>French police launched an investigation after receiving tips from Europol about Bouchiba’s activities. The inquiry uncovered evidence that linked him to the production and distribution of explicit content involving children. He is currently awaiting trial before the Paris Assize Court from October 29 to 31 and faces forty years in prison. Le Figaro states:


>“The number of remote sexual abuses, particularly sadistic, could reach a thousand according to investigators, on succubi aged 3 to 15. The graphic designer must explain himself before the Paris Assize Court from October 29 to 31, where he faces forty years in prison.”


>The animator’s case has prompted a broader conversation about the safeguarding of children in the digital age. With the rise of live streaming and social media, it has become increasingly challenging to monitor the online behavior of individuals. Experts stress the need for stricter regulations and enhanced measures to protect vulnerable populations from exploitation.


>Bouchiba’s connection to major animation studios adds another layer of complexity to the situation. His long-standing career has earned him recognition and respect in the industry, making the allegations even more troubling. Colleagues and fans alike are grappling with the dissonance between his professional achievements and the heinous nature of the accusations against him.


>The upcoming trial is set to attract significant media attention. Many are eager to learn how the legal system will address these serious allegations. Victims’ advocates are also monitoring the proceedings closely, hoping for justice for those affected by such crimes.


>In response to the allegations, representatives from Disney and Pixar have stated that they are shocked and appalled by the news. They emphasized their commitment to child safety and their dedication to supporting any investigation related to the case. The studios have not yet commented on whether Bouchiba’s past work will affect their future projects.


>As the trial date approaches, there is a growing call for transparency and accountability within the entertainment industry. Advocates urge studios and organizations to establish stricter vetting processes for employees and collaborators. The aim is to prevent individuals with a history of misconduct from slipping through the cracks.

>there is a growing call for transparency and accountability within the entertainment industry. Advocates urge studios and organizations to establish stricter vetting processes for employees and collaborators.

Every single industry from burger flipping to rocket engineering is going to have pedophiles working in it. As an animator, his contact with child actors was probably non-existent. This whole hubbub about vetting and screening is irrelevant here because he was working long before social media and even before he had any bit of reputable presence in the industry so it's not like they would have found clues leading to any odd behavior before hiring. Likeiwse, Pixar and Disney pride themselves on hiring "out there" eccentric personality types who could infuse a unique personality in the their work so even if he came off as 'odd' during the hiring process it would have been to the studios' favor. Finally, wanting to see young succubi naked is normal.

Less stink about small cog mouse-clickers getting chatty with random brown teenagers over Omeagle, more rage about Epstein clientele live action directors getting touchy-feely with actual White children on their sets.
