Let me ask you this; what's the difference between a kid's movie and a family movie? On the surface, both of those terms might seem interchangeable. A movie that's for kids is theoretically appropriate enough for a whole family to watch, bu...

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse hasn't even released yet and Sony is already planning sequels and spinoffs for the animated feature. According to THR, Sony is already in the planning stages of two new Spider-Verse movies. One movie is goi...

I've always had very conflicting feelings about Disney's former Chief Creative Officer John Lasseter. This was even before the frequent sexual harassment claims, which led him to take a six-month sabbatical last year before announcing ...

It's Thanksgiving, time for board games, booze, American football, and gluttony. While everyone in America is sitting on the couch processing their gigantic meal, the first trailer for Disney's CGI remake of The Lion King dropped during the...

There probably isn't a more recognizable movie formula than the one in Disney animated films. They take familiar stories, myths, and general concepts, create a light-hearted story with some basic virtues and life lessons, and probably throw...

Over the past several years, I've become exponentially more prone to gushing over rad insect characters and rad fan art. Team Cherry's Hollow Knight supplied me with an entire nest of the former, and the (probably objective) fact that it's ...

Believe it or not, prior to my screening I wasn't paying that much attention to Illumination's The Grinch, but from what I did see I thought the film was going to try something a little new with the character and focus on how he became...

(Note: This is a spoiler-free review of the first six episodes of Castlevania Season 2, however, there will be spoilers for Season 1) The first season of Castlevania was a surprise that I'm not sure many people were expecting. It was a soli...

Growing up in the early 2000's, Teen Titans was my jam. I distinctly remember watching it on Toonami on Saturday nights right alongside classics like Yu Yu Hakusho and Megas XLR. The action, plotlines, and comedy were all that my young, im...

Today is a sad day for anime fans. For the past two years, Funimation and Crunchyroll have had a partnership where they would share the streaming rights for various anime titles, but that partnership has come to an end. As of November 9, th...

I feel like I should be more excited for How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World. Both the original movie and the sequel were some of the best movies Dreamworks have ever put out, but I'm just not feeling that spark for the third movie....

With the release of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’s second trailer debuting earlier this week, I was wondering why the hell the Spider-Verse panel was going to be an hour and a half instead of the normal hour. At first, Phil Lord ...

Looking back at most of the best kids shows from the 80's, I think it's safe to say that people don't remember them for their in-depth stories. They had eye-catching premises and some enjoyable characters (looking at you Starscream), ...

It's time to look at everyones favorite digital service, DC Universe! DC has been pushing their streaming service hard over the past couple of months, with DC pulling out all of the stops to try and get people to subscribe. It launched back...

DC writers have seemingly been listening to all of the feedback and backlash from their attempts at making a cinematic universe and "mature" TV shows. In the span of less than a minute, Harley Quinn (Big Bang Theory's Kaley Cuoco) and Pois...

When Sony announced that they would be doing an animated Spider-Man movie after giving the live-action rights to Marvel, I was a bit confused. There wasn't any need to make an animated version of the character, especially when all eyes wou...

Is the world ready for a Netflix Diablo animated series? Hasn’t Diablo stolen enough of our lives already, keeping us running levels and bosses all hours of night and day for those super unique magic items and runes? Apparently, Netfl...

Adventure Time ran for 9 years, 10 seasons and one Minecraft themed special. As nicest of guys Jonathan Holmes wrote, it influenced a whole heck of a lot of similar, brightly colored, emotionally complex shows in the com...

As a huge fan of all iterations of Street Fighter III, I've spent many hours contemplating the game's glorious, expertly crafted animation. I knew that some of it had to be rotoscoped (an animation technique that involves drawing over live-...

Netflix has been unstoppable when it comes to securing a strong presence in the animation industry. They already have fantastic shows like Bojack Horseman, Trollhunters, Voltron, and Castlevania, and that's not even mentioning the countless...

When it was announced that Netflix was producing a Castlevania series, I was cautiously optimistic about it. I love the series to the bottom of my heart, my personal favorite entries are Symphony of the Night, Harmony of Dissonance, and Ro...

In recent months, leading up to the anticipated release of Sonic Mania Plus, a fun series of short cartoons were commisioned hyping the blue blur and his chums. Sonic Mania Adventures was a return to the 'toons of old; short, funny, colourf...

What I'm about to say may seem hypocritical. About two months ago, I came to the defense of modern cartoons not just because of their maligned animation, but also because they're for a different generation. I, a 23-year-old man, am not...

It's been a long nine months since I reported on the upcoming Blu-Ray release of Batman: The Animated Series and ever since then, news about the release has been kinda hush-hush. Yesterday the full details were revealed and let's just say t...

I'm a huge fan of Steven Universe, so I was looking forward to their Comic-Con panel all week. After "Heart of the Crystal Gems" concluded a few weeks ago, I needed more of it ASAP. So I was hoping for any news about a possible season 6 thi...
