As a kid I loved classic Looney Tunes, but as an adult, I'm fascinated by the background art.

32 years ago today, ‘ANIMANIACS’ premiered on Fox Kids.

The zany Warner siblings Yakko, Wakko and Dot burst onto screens September 13, 1993, delivering chaotic skits and pop culture spoofs for five wild seasons.

Looney Tunes. That's all of 'em, folks!

Today is the 95th anniversary of the #LooneyTunes franchise.

Ninety-five years of insanity, zaniness, and the most creative, comedic, artistic geniuses who ever graced the medium.

Not to mention one grey hare, Doc.

JKR is a hateful, evil piece of shit, as is the entire UK Supreme Court.

Monday, April 7 - "Not Just A Goof" is a documentary exploring the untold story of "A Goofy Movie." It follows a young creative team tackling their first Disney feature, its initial disappointment, and its surprising resurgence decades later. Featuring key interviews and rare footage, it reveals the film’s impact and why it remains a beloved classic for a generation.

TIL that a Goofy Movie has a fucking documentary. And that it's releasing on Disney+ next month.

Sometimes life can actually be pretty cool.l

this ‘jurassic park’ story 😭

Bruce Wayne Smith (1961-) knew he wanted to be an animator since he was a child. He made his first animated film using designs from 101 Dalmatians. Smith attended the California Institute of the Arts and worked on various projects upon graduation, including ThunderCats, Silverhawks, Garfield on the Loose, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Rock-a-Doodle, and Rover Dangerfield.

Bruce W. Smith joined Hyperion Animation shortly after Rock-A-Doodle. It was at Hyperion where he directed Bebe's Kids (1992), Happily Ever After: Fairy Tales for Every Child where he served as a character designer and a director, and C-Bear and Jamal. He also had stints at Warner Bros where he worked as an animation director for Space Jam and a character designer for Cats Don't Dance and Disney where he worked on A Goofy Movie, Tarzan, and John Henry.

In 1999, Bruce W. Smith founded Jambalaya Animation, a sibling studio to Hyperion Animation dedicated to tell racially and ethnically-diverse stories in animation. One such series was an animated family sitcom, The Proud Family. While initially commissioned by Nickelodeon, the series was ordered by Disney, who gave it a home on Disney Channel in 2001. The series ran for 52 episodes and was revived in 2022 as The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder.

Bruce W. Smith had always been closely aligned with the Disney and has been a supervising animator for various films including The Emperor's New Groove for Pacha, Winnie the Pooh (Piglet, Kanga, and Roo), and most notably Dr. Facilier in The Princess and the Frog (2009).

You ought to know Bruce W. Smith, a talented animator who worked on various DIsney productions, directed Bebe's Kids, co-directed Space Jam and the Oscar-winning Hair Love, designed shows like Happily Ever After, and created Da Boom Crew and The Proud Family.

Please buy books and read them. It will matter moving forward.

Opinion | Libraries can help end the culture wars. That’s why they’re under fire. Nothing threatens authoritarianism like a free, quiet place to absorb a full range of information.

We are about to enter an era of extreme and dangerous culture war in the United States. How do we protect our communities and work toward a cultural ceasefire? In this piece I wrote a couple months ago, I offer one possible path. wapo.st/40q1BDn
