I had the grand opportunity to cover the 50th Aniversary of the Toronto International Film Festival.  With animation being one of my favourite topics in the world, I am grateful that I was able to join this epic conversation and now share it with you. :) DIALOGUES: Creative Visions in Animated Feature Films is a specific TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) event/panel where acclaimed directors like Domee Shi (Pixar's Elio), Mamoru Hosoda (Belle, Summer Wars), and Momoko Seto (Dandelion's Odyssey) discuss balancing artistic vision with studio realities, creative authorship, and the future of bold animation, showcasing diverse global perspectives. This dialogue offers insights into the challenges and triumphs of making visionary animated features, featuring both indie and major studio voices.  From intimate, auteur-driven projects to collaborations with major studios, discover how directors Domee Shi (Elio), Momoko Seto (Dandelion's Odyssey), Mamoru Hosoda (Scarlet), and Kid Koala (Space Cadet) balance artistic integrity with industry realities, and what it takes to make animated films that captivate audiences and spark global imaginations. Join us for a candid conversation about creative authorship, industry pressures, and the evolving space for bold, visionary animation.

What do technical renderings of plant cells in trees have to do with Disney's animated opus Fantasia? Quite a bit, as it turns out: such emergent scientific models and ideas about nature were an important inspiration for Disney's groundbreaking animated realism. In Drawn to Nature: American Animation in the Age of Science (University of Minnesota Press, 2025), Dr. Colin Williamson presents a vivid portrait of how developments in biology, physics, and geology between 1900 and the long 1960s influenced not just Disney but the American cartoon industry as a whole. Drawing on original research on the scientific appetites of animators and studios such as Winsor McCay, the Fleischer Brothers, Walt Disney, and United Productions of America, Dr. Williamson opens new avenues for understanding the history and aesthetics of cartoons. Interrogating the differences between art and science and reconsidering the realms of dream, magic, and fantasy as they pertain to pop culture, he yields novel proposals for bridging longstanding divides between animation, live-action cinema, and the history of science. Drawn to Nature not only illuminates the extent to which animators have drawn on scientific insights, it also considers seriously how commercial animations themselves participate in scientific discourse. It revises and revitalizes our existing narratives about the history of American animation to uncover the many ways science informs our collective cultural imagination. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Kinder und Jugendliche in Deutschland nutzen digitale Medien täglich – aber vielen fehlt das tiefere Verständnis für die Technologien dahinter, wie Bildungsstudien seit Jahren zeigen. In Frankfurt soll sich das ändern: Mit dem neuen Tumo-Lernzentrum im Nordwestzentrum entsteht ein außerschulischer Ort, an dem 12 bis 18 Jahre alte Jugendliche kostenlos Programmieren, Robotik, 3D-Design, Animation, Musikproduktion und andere kreative Technologien lernen können – ohne Noten, ohne Prüfungsdruck, dafür mit viel Eigenverantwortung. Im F.A.Z.-Podcast „Digitalwirtschaft“ sprechen wir mit Dana Kube (Die Grünen) über dieses Projekt, das aus Armenien stammt und inzwischen auf der ganzen Welt Nachahmer gefunden hat. Kube ist Vorsitzende des Frankfurter Bildungsausschusses und eine der politischen Treiberinnen hinter Tumo Frankfurt; sie forscht seit Jahren zu digitalem Lernen und Bildungsinnovation. Tumo setzt auf ein anderes Lernprinzip als die Schule: Jugendliche wählen in einer App ihre Lernpfade selbst, arbeiten in Workshops und sogenannten Labs an konkreten Projekten und werden dabei von Coaches begleitet, die eher Mentoren als klassische Lehrkräfte sind. In Frankfurt entsteht dafür eine mehr als 2.000 Quadratmeter große Fläche im Nordwestzentrum; betrieben wird das Zentrum von der Volkshochschule, finanziert wird es durch ein Bündnis aus Stadt und Stiftungen, unter anderem der Crespo Foundation und der Stiftung Polytechnische Gesellschaft. Für die Jugendlichen bleibt das Angebot kostenlos – ein wichtiger Punkt, um auch jene zu erreichen, die sonst kaum Zugang zu hochwertiger digitaler Bildung hätten. Im Podcast geht es um zentrale Fragen: Wie lässt sich ein armenisches Erfolgsmodell auf eine deutsche Großstadt übertragen? Welche Rolle spielt die Lage in der Nordweststadt – mit ihrer Mischung aus Einkaufszentrum, Wohnquartier und bestehender Bildungslandschaft? Und woran will sich die Stadt 2030 messen lassen: an Teilnehmerzahlen, an Projektergebnissen – oder an veränderten Bildungschancen in bestimmten Stadtteilen? Der Podcast zeigt, dass Tumo mehr ist als ein weiteres Digitalprojekt: Es ist ein Testfall dafür, ob eine Stadt wie Frankfurt bereit ist, Bildung tatsächlich anders zu denken – und Jugendlichen im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes Raum für die digitale Zukunft zu geben.

What are the 4Qs? (1) Three favorite films. (2) An underrated film. (3) An overrated film. (4) A lesser-known film people should seek out. Kai Brown wrote and directed the wonderful animated short, “The Anatomy of Jane Doesn't Exist,” that screened at Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2025 and took home the Filmmakers Award for Outstanding Writing in Animation. I was not at all surprised to find how thoughtful and smart Kai was in our interview (posted Friday) due to the intelligence of her film. I couldn't wait to see what other films she was going to bring to the table in the follow up 4 Questions.

Avatar: Fire and Ash only did $88 million domestic opening weekend, when it was projected to do at least $100 million.

Could DC Comics and Marvel Comics soon just outsource all their books to a smaller publisher? It could likely happen sooner rather than later, as Archie is doing just that -- licensing their characters out to Oni Press. While unthinkable a decade ago, could we see Batman and Spider-Man books coming from a publisher like Dark Horse or Boom if their corporate owners decide there's no money to be made publishing magazines? Given how much Netflix thinks of physical media, this scenario might play out sooner rather than later.Watch this podcast episode on YouTube and all major podcast hosts including Spotify.CLOWNFISH TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary podcast that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer's point of view.

Send us a textAct One Podcast - Episode 48 - Interview with Directors Phil Cunningham and Brent Dawes of the new film, DAVID.From the songs of his mother's heart to the whispers of a faithful God, David's story begins in quiet devotion. When the giant Goliath rises to terrorize a nation, a young shepherd armed with only a sling, a few stones, and unshakable faith steps forward. Pursued by power and driven by purpose, his journey tests the limits of loyalty, love, and courage—culminating in a battle not just for a crown, but for the soul of a kingdom. Released by Angel Studios, DAVID is in theaters everywhere beginning December 19th, 2025.Phil Cunningham's passion for storytelling was ignited and fueled as a young boy growing up in the wild frontier of Zimbabwe, where day-to-day life was often interspersed with larger-than-life characters and fantastic stories. Phil was struck by the incredible power of stories to impact society and in particular the power of animation to cross race, culture, age and gender barriers better than any other medium. Over the last 25 years, Phil together with Jacqui, has built Sunrise Animation Studios in Cape Town, South Africa. The studio's mission statement is “Inspire Through Story".Brent Dawes has spent over two decades as the Creative Lead at Sunrise Animation Studios, where (among many other projects) he created the Jungle Beat series and directed Jungle Beat: The Movie, which Netflix acquired in 2021, where it ranked in the Top 10 movies across all genres in its first 3 weeks. Dawes is the writer and co director of the Young David Shorts and the David animated feature film.Sunrise Animation Studios is a full-service animation studio based in Cape Town, South Africa.

Disney is under scrutiny by the FCC, and is using their affiliates decision to pre-empt Jimmy Kimmel as a defense for keeping the status quo. Even Dana Walden is now admitting that the White House had NOTHING to do with Kimmel getting pulled off the air, but they let the country believe that narrative when it benefitted them.

Universal Orlando Resort and Mack Rides are facing at least five new lawsuits filed on December 18, 2025, in Orange County circuit court by attorney Nicholas Spetsas, alleging that riders of the Stardust Racers dueling roller coaster at Epic Universe suffered severe, permanent injuries—such as brain bleeds, spinal cord damage, paralysis, strokes, and traumatic brain injuries—due to their heads violently slamming repeatedly against the seat in front during rides between April and September 2025, stemming from inadequate restraints, negligent design, testing, warnings, and maintenance. These follow the September 17 death of 32-year-old Kevin Rodriguez Zavala, who suffered similar blunt force head trauma (ruled accidental due to pre-existing spinal atrophy) after riding; his family, represented by Ben Crump, settled confidentially with Universal shortly after, with inspections confirming normal operation. Lawyers aim for discovery to expose flaws and push safety fixes, while Universal declines comment on pending litigation.Watch this podcast episode on YouTube and all major podcast hosts including Spotify.CLOWNFISH TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary podcast that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer's point of view.

Happy Friday, Everyone! Kai Brown wrote and directed the wonderful animated short, “The Anatomy of Jane Doesn't Exist,” a film that screened at Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2025 and took home the Filmmakers Award for Outstanding Writing in Animation.

Shane Black (Lethal Weapon, The Nice Guys)  Jim Herzfeld (Meet The Parents/Fockers), Fred Dekker (Preditor), & David Silverman (The Simpsons) reminisce about their college hangout that became the social group that supported their life and art for the rest of their lives.  They describe a house full of UCLA film nerds with a 24 hour open house policy.  It was young guys finding themselves and their drive and their fun by making a scene in the early 1980's. Movie watching, game playing, movie making, and joking around led to a group of people that has made some of the biggest films of the last 30 years.  Bio: JIM HERZFELD is an American film and television screenwriter who has also done work as a television producer. Herzfeld graduated from UCLA's School of Theater, Film and Television (TFT) and his earliest TV credit – on the ground breaking “It's Garry Shandling's Show” -- was followed by almost 10 years of writing and producing episodes on dozens of sitcom staffs, including the Fox TV classic "Married... With Children." Herzfeld's earliest feature film work was a writing credit on the cult comedy “Tapeheads“ in 1988. His most successful work was writing the screenplay for the 2000 film” Meet the Parents” as well as writing the story and screenplay for its 2004 sequel “Meet the Fockers.” To date, both those films remain on the list of the 20 Highest Grossest Comedies. More recently, in 2015 his screenplay for “Meet the Parents” was selected by the Writer's Guild of America's as one of the “101 Funniest Screenplays” of all time. Herzfeld was also the writer of the canceled Circle 7 Animation version of Toy Story 3 and has done countless punch-up and rewrites on dozens of big budget comedies and animated films for virtually every major studio.  Herzfeld has also guest lectured about screenwriting at several major universities, including NYU, UCLA and AFI along with appearing on writer panels at various film festivals, most notably the Austin Film Festival where Jim was a judge for their Comedy Screenplay Competition. Currently, Herzfeld continues to write and develop comedy screenplays and recently became an advisor for Scripthop, a software startup focused on revolutionizing how screenplays are both presented and circulated throughout the entertainment industry. FRED DEKKER - Pursuing a movie career, he moved to Los Angeles where his fledgling screenwriting efforts led to a Hollywood agent and a job writing Godzilla: King of the Monsters for director Steve Miner. Although the film went unproduced, Dekker provided the story for Miner's 1985 horror-comedy House, starring William Katt (screenplay by Ethan Wiley). The film was recognized by the Fantasporto and the Avoriaz Film Festivals, and spawned several sequels. Dekker made his directorial debut with Night of the Creeps, an homage to B-movies that eventually developed a devoted cult following. He went on to direct another cult favorite, The Monster Squad, co-written with his UCLA friend Shane Black. He subsequently wrote five episodes of Tales From The Crypt, including the first episode, directed by Robert Zemeckis. In 1991, Dekker conceived the Denzel Washington starrer Ricochet and the spy spoof If Looks Could Kill, both for Warner Bros. He then returned to the director's chair for the third RoboCop film, co-written with comic book legend Frank Miller. As a script doctor, Dekker made uncredited contributions to films including Titan A.E. and Lethal Weapon 4. He then served as Consulting Producer and wrote three episodes of Star Trek: Enterprise. In 2015, he reteamed with Shane Black on a western TV pilot for Amazon Studios, entitled Edge. The two went on to co-write the 2018 release The Predator, which Black also directed. Dekker's international awards include the Silver Raven from the Brussels International Festival of Fantasy Film; the Estrella de Fantastico Award from the 2019 Bilbao Fantasy Film Festival; and the 2024 Honorary Time Machine Award (Premi Màquina del Temps) at the Sitges Film Festival for his contributions to horror and fantasy cinema. He is currently developing a true crime limited series for Amazon based on a murder which occurred in his hometown.SHANE BLACK is a writer/director whose writing credits include such films as Lethal Weapon, The Last Boy Scout, The Long Kiss Goodnight and The Monster Squad.  He began as a director in 2005 with Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and receives increasingly strident sequel requests for 2016's The Nice Guys.  He is currently writing a spec original and trying to lose some weight by New Years'.  Not that he's fat -- he's just old, and being careful.DAVID SILVERMAN After graduating from UCLA in 1983, David Silverman worked as a freelance illustrator and animator until, in 1987, he landed a job animating on The Tracey Ullman Show — where The Simpsons began. Animating on all 48 shorts led to David directing the first shows of The Simpsons. Starting with the Christmas Special in December 1989, and then the premiere episode the following month, David soon became Supervising Animation Director and a producer on The Simpsons. All told, he has directed 24 episodes and has won 4 Emmys along the way.  When no one was looking, David snuck away from The Simpsons to work at DreamWorks (The Road to El Dorado – co-director), Pixar (Monsters, Inc. – co-director), and Blue Sky (Ice Age, Robots – writing and boarding). But, he came back to the show full-time at the end of 2003 and directed The Simpsons Movie. In 2012, David directed and co-wrote the short film The Longest Daycare about Maggie Simpson, which earned him an Academy Award nomination.And since the Disney acquisition of The Simpsons (via the purchase of Fox), David has directed 10 Simpsons shorts especially for Disney+, as well as several promotional pieces.Editing Notes: There are many verbal cuts on the show we directed to Dan. Also after the show, Shane Black emailed and ask we cut out this.  I say “It's nice your place was a rape free environment” and Shane says something like: “But not rape free for guys,”. He wants his comment cut.
