Sony Announces Animated Feature from Amphibia, Steven Universe Creators

Matt Braly, a storyboard artist from “Gravity Falls” and Sony Animation’s own “The Mitchells vs. the Machines,” makes the leap from successful showrunner to feature film director, according to a Braly tweet on Dec. 14, 2023.

The script, written with Adventure Time alum/Steven Universe creator Rebecca Sugar, references Braly’s “own cultural background and personal history,” Variety reports.

“The film tells the story of a young boy who goes on an emotional journey to a fantastical world of Thai spirits where he hopes to have his illness cured.”

Music by Anamanaguchi highlights the stunning animation by Science SARU, whose bubbly style and dark undertones recently lent itself well to the Japanese animated first season anthology of Star Wars: Visions as well.

Event includes individual ticketed events for screenings and Q&As for more than a dozen feature films from around the world, with free screenings of animated shorts on Friday and Saturday evenings.

Saw someone refer to Cartoon Saloon as the Irish Studio Ghibli and…

Yes. Yes it is. Seriously, watch their films if you have not had the pleasure already. Whether it’s the Irish Mythology trilogy

Or The Breadwinner, and upcoming ‘My Father’s Dragon’ with Netflix.

Watch these films. They are masterpieces of modern animation and innovation. I did my first film final on ‘The Breadwinner’ and have no regrets.

Release Date Set for Spectacular Anime Feature “Pompo the Cinephile”

Nyallywood comes to cinemas on April 27-29, GKIDS announced with a referential teaser. The film, which previewed in the United States in 2021 in New York City and Los Angeles as part of festivals, delivers a tight story of how movies are made, at least when producer Pompo takes the lead!

Directed by veteran animator Takayuki Hirao and produced by brand-new animation studio CLAP, Pompo the Cinephile is a rollicking, exuberant ode to the power of the movies, and the joys and heartbreak of the creative process, as a new director and his team devote their lives to the pursuit of a “masterpiece.”
