Ash vs. Tell It Animated
We need some slasher heroes! The good dude at Tell It Animated is now tackling Ash Williams from the Evil Dead films. Because Ash is awesome and deserves this sort of attention and love.
Another banger of an episode! I’m glad to see that Tell It Animated has nearly two million followers these days. I hope this dude is killing it and raking in the big bucks for his fun little shorts. I wish him all the success in the world.
And, as always, my recommendation is Robin!

Curiosity Killed the George
Joel Haver is a funny dude and I’m glad I found his videos on YouTube. Each one has been pretty darn hilarious, and he’s got a new banger out! This one is about Curious George. No spoilers.
Just damn funny. Inventive, clever, witty, silly and just plain fun, as far as I’m concerned. And I’m a comedic genius! Enjoy this video, and if you haven’t yet, feel free to go back in his history for some other great animated joke videos. You won’t be disappointed.

In Which I Rank Every Episode From Star Wars: Visions Season 2
May the Fourth has come and gone, and with it a new season of Star Wars: Visions. I think this is a great little show, and a great idea overall. Sign up a bunch of animation studios from around the world and have them put together their own short Star Wars cartoon. They don’t have to feature any familiar characters and don’t have to be in continuity. Just use Star Wars iconography and tell your own story. It’s a great idea and has resulted in some great cartoons.
I very much enjoyed the first season, when they focused on anime studios. You can check out my rankings on the season 1 episodes here. I also enjoyed the second season a whole lot. They opened up to Western animation studios as well as others around the world, so it wasn’t strictly anime-focused. I can’t wait to see what they do next year!
Join me after the jump for my ranking of all nine episodes of Star Wars: Visions season 2. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole season. And feel free to share your own rankings and reviews in the comments below!
Read the rest of this entryMario Through the Ages, Animated
The Super Mario Bros. Movie was a whole thing. It was super popular. I thought it was fine. It could have been more, but it was otherwise fine on its own. One thing is for sure, though: Mario has a lot of iterations and adaptations over the years. And Tell It Animated is on the case!
Good times! I watched a ton of those Mario cartoons back in the day. The Lou Albano stuff? You’re damn right! And this video has it all. I love Tell It Animated. He’s a great channel and he does great work. And now he’s opened himself up to video game characters. My top pick for his next cartoon is still Robin, but if we’re talking video game characters…Sonic the Hedgehog is the next obvious choice. Plenty to work with.
Master Chief. Pac-Man. Metroid. Maybe Final Fantasy protagonists? Tell It Animated shall never die!

Disney: The Last Wish
Disney Animation has revealed their first look at their next movie, Wish, which I think is about the magic of Disney making a wish upon a star. Just like how Puss in Boots made a wish upon a star?! I kid. But so far, this teaser looks pretty generic. Heroin, villain, animal sidekick.
They even included the little star dude from the Mario movie!
Still kidding. Anyway, I’m a big fan of Disney animation in recent years. Encanto was great! I don’t remember what they did after Encanto…oh right, Strange World! Yeah, Strange World was fine. So we’re just gonna have to hope — rightfully so — that Wish will also be fine. That’s my hope, at least. Or perhaps it’s my…wish?
Anyway, Wish comes to theaters on Nov. 22.
