I need everyone who still somehow has a Max subscription to watch this movie. Regardless if you own it or not, we need to show WB we still care for animated stories and they deserve to be shown and told. #Animationiscinema

Animation wasn’t just good in 2025; it was glorious.

From wild action to breathtaking artistry, these are the animated works that defined the year for me.

Eis que vc quer fazer uma animação legal com humor estilo Pica-Pau, mas aí existe um negócio meio chatinho chamado "CENSURA" que te obriga a reformular o final do episódio: 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Check new grounds for higher quality image, if you still can't read that.

So like the cashier in the first panel says "and would you like to make that a combo Dude"

The next panel, his name is Dude, literally, this a secret between you and me🎂🥱, he says "Hmm, yes I think I will!"

Next panel he eats at table with her fat ass girlfriend who's name is babe, and dude he's full after only a whole pack of fries minus one fry, so dude offers her food like "ughh babe I'm full, you can have my burger!"

But babes been through this since they got married he's been plumping her up like aman feeding his cattle, he's probably a feedee. So babes like "you've been doing this since we've been engaged!", another secret between you and me is that they've been engaged since school, anywhere between middle or high I'm not sure, so dudes been feeding this girl left overs despite her weight, you guys are into this I know.

Then dude admits "defeat" and says "so...", however that's guilt tripping from his side he won't back down🐎🥐. Unfortunately babe does want the burger in the end and says "I still want it though", leading to a cycle of left over feedings for howevy.er long their relationship will go, this will become worse if she ever gets pregnancy cravings but let's hope dude doesn't get her on my 300lb life soon he needs to know the boundaries between overfeeding your lover and showing her your love through sacrifice, said sacrifice being food.

And that my partially blind readers is what this comic is, dude and babe are goblins btw that's why they may look a different color, they don't have rare jaundice don't worry. if you like comics like this then hit that follow button for weekly indoor activities comics when I'm not busy, there's going to be two more this week it's going to be awesome. And itf yu enjoy indoor activities then you can check out my new grounds and read Swamp Stories, it's soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo awesome. Thank you and see you later guys.

A few really hard choices. If Spirited Away and Lilo & Stitch could have tied, I would have been quite happy with that. Both extraordinary for different reasons.:

My Personal Choices for the Best Animated Feature Oscar

Each year’s choice is based on the the actual nominees. I’m also still not speaking to the Animation wing for not nominating Arthur Christmas in 2011.

Saw #TheWildRobot last night. It was incredible, made me cry, had beautiful animation, but the best part was the credits. As someone who can usually guess most VAs, some of the cast reveals floored me. 10/10 would recommend for just that experience alone.
