"Wolfwalkers" is from the same creators as "Song of the Sea", "The Secret of Kells", and "The Breadwinner". This film has the same, or similar vibes of lore and mystique. The animation is stylized and interesting to watch. This animated movie does not disappoint!

Having a hard time in life? Need a little pick-me-up? We have just the right movie for you. The original Muppets movie is a classic from a series that's been around practically since the early stages of Television. Sesame Street, and the Muppets brings you back in time to a time when the world seemed much simpler. The creations that were invented by the genius that is Jim Henson allow you to enter into a moment of disable if for a couple of hours, where you almost -believe- puppets could be real.

This new animated feature film by one of our favorite studios, studio Ghibli, has been widely criticized, and we're here to lay some of those critiques to rest with our podcast on Earwig and the Witch. This amazing film brings you all the traditional things we love about Ghibli with a new, 3D look. We greatly suggest you consider watching this film with your friends and family as its fun for all ages.

No really, what happened in Mutant Aliens? Created by Bill Plympton, this was an interesting film about an astronaut that gets stranded in space and has to form new relations in order to survive. Please watch this film so that you too know and understand our plight.

What is your favorite thing about this series? For us, it was the immense reality that was building behind the theme in this animated series, or was it reality? This hypnotic series will bring you into a world built by someone else's nightmarish reality.
Are you living my life? Or am I living yours?
Which one is it??!?! Help us to understand ourselves :3

David Firth is a Youtube creator from England who is famous for his animations such as Salad Fingers and other creepy, dream-like stories that make little to no sense. WE LOVE IT!
Who wouldn't like creepy weird animations?
SORRY WE KNOW THIS ISN'T SOUL!

This amazing and beautiful animation is one of the best we've seen this year! I feel like I keep saying that... well, the last couple have been major wins! The Illusionist is no exception. This movie is artistic, clever, and witty. It has a timeless feeling of an era where the world was shrinking and worlds were connecting. It tells a story of relationships and love. Please join us this week as we talk about The Illusionist.

This is not our typical podcast topic as this movie is only partly animated but hey, it's a classic, and why not? This movie is one set back in the 1940's so it's a wonder some of the cartoons look as old-timey as they do. Join us this week as we discuss "What Happens Next?" Who Framed Roger Rabbit? in our new format!
