Kiara P Oxley

Maurice Vaughan

Try to ignore the trolls, Kiara P Oxley. That's what I do. No matter how you respond to trolls, they'll keep trolling.

Sam Sokolow

I agree with Maurice Vaughan - ignore any trolls - you are the arist and the creator and that is what matters. Stay positive. Stick with your vision. You have support here in this community. And know...

Good Morning Everyone My question is Which Network Would Thomas Be On If it were to be on tv?

Hello Everyone I am still working on a few episodes of Thomas, i haven't found people who could voice the other primary characters, i know it is frustrating to hear but i hope eventually someone becomes interested. I've been working on this show since January 2024, and i can't believe the year is al...

Eddie Murphy is one of my favorite actors/comedians, Kiara P Oxley. He's hilarious!

Arcane ’s wild popularity is proof that audiences crave original, complex female characters

I've not been quiet or chill about how much I loved the first season of Arcane. The first time I watched it, I was blown away by the art, music, story, and most of all the characters. Over the last few years, it's become a comfort watch for me, something that I can easily put on and watch again and...

All of the elements just work so perfectly together, Maurice Vaughan! The story, the characters, the art, and the music are a perfect storm.

Geoff Hall

That’s good to hear, Ashley Renee Smith

Maurice Vaughan

You're right, Ashley Renee Smith. I just finished season one. WOW! It's the best series I've seen lately. I'm taking notes.

Ashley Renee Smith

100% agree, Maurice Vaughan! There’s a lot of great series currently, but Arcane easily comes out on top.

A movie WB/Discovery didn’t shelve

They probably would have shelved the new Looney Tunes film if it had cost more. It only cost 15 million, so not big enough for a tax write-off like Batgirl.

As it is, they sold the distribution rights instead of doing distro themselves. No long term thinking going on over there.

Anyway, looks awesom...

Is the Academy on the verge of an animation upset?

Flow looks amazing! I need to see this!

I would love to see an animated film nominated for Best Picture this year. It’s been the year of Animation, so it would be well-deserved recognition for the animation industry basically holding it all up through 2024.

Leonardo Ramirez

This trailer is beautiful, Laurie. Would love to see this in its entirety. The trailer alone was moving. And yes, totally down for animated noms although I may be being biased. Even so, FLOW looks like it should be in contention.

These characters are amazing! I love them, It´s not their mouths that talk to us, It´s their eyes and all their bodies, too. Animators have done a great job. I hope the characters of my scripts can be, some day, so amazing as these ones.

That was fun to watch, Ashley Renee Smith. I like it when a cartoon character freaks out and they have huge eyes and funny facial expressions!
