30 years ago today, Toy Story was released in theaters. On top of being a great movie in itself, it's one of the very few movies in history like this that its impact forever changed not just animation, but the entirety of cinema. Even back in 1995, everyone knew that Toy Story was a game-changer.

Elon Musk is very explicitly altering the X algorithm to show people content that aligns with his far-right worldview.
If you're still posting there and think you can win hearts and minds or something, this is what you're up against. You're never going to win a rigged game.

I'll admit that last week's Toy Story 5 teaser was underwhelming with how it showed us next to nothing, but this one more than makes up for it. This looks like a good contender to be the funniest animated film of 2026.

Allegro Non Troppo Review | The Fantasia Parody That Disney LOVES
Over the years, I called Allegro Non Troppo one of the weirdest, funniest and most underrated animated film. This time, I’m going to give this Fantasia parody the review it deserves. Bruno Bozzetto’s…

While I went to see Predator: Badlands, I saw that they were selling those special edition Toy Story 30th anniversary popcorn buckets and I mean...How could I say no to this?

What I consider to be the most shocking thing to happen to me this year is that I became a fan of the predator movies. Specifically, the new films by Dan Trachtenberg like Prey and Killer of Killers. And last night, I went to see Predator: Badlands and it's now one of my favorite movies of the year!

Since today's the anniversary of Steamboat Willie (or as many call it, Mickey Mouse's birthday), what's your favorite creation based on the cartoon since it entered the public domain? Mine is this dub that's simple, yet hilarious. Brings me back to the good ol' days when TF2 dominated meme culture.
SteamBoat Willie But with TF2 Dubs
Since The earliest version of the Mouse has been Public Domain I decided to make a TF2 Dub video.
But this video has been copyright claimed because of YouTube.

After so many years, the Top 10 Scariest Disney Moments was finally dethroned. Almost 5 years since its debut, The History of Caillou officially became my most watched video on YouTube. I never thought that a bald brat would become a big part of my legacy!

We’re now entering the age where people have nostaglia for online personalities, including the problematic ones. It’s the same reason why people are rehabilitating the Nostalgia Critic’s image. Sure, he’s not as bad as Pewds, but still the same concept of why the rewriting is happening.
It's so funny now that he's retiring that people are trying to re-write Pewdiepie's career as one without any scandals when he's the guy who lost a Disney partnership over paying people to hold up 'Death to all Jews' signs and couldn't stop saying the N word

Here's a fun fact! Yes, Fantasia didn't do well in its original release in 1940, nor on the subsequent re-releases in the '40s and '50s, edited a little bit for each release.
However, you know what group latched onto it in the late '60s and propelled it to its current level of acclaim? Hippies.

When Fantasia was first released on November 13, 1940, the film was a total flop due to the extremely limited amount of screenings, and a very mixed reception from critics. 85 years later, it's now considered one of the greatest movies in cinema that highlights the magic of Disney and animation.
