More Animated Star Wars!
Remember Tales of the Jedi and Tales of the Empire? Those animated shorts from the past few years, that highlighted a couple of special characters? I barely do! But they were alright. Definitely watchable. Well we’re getting more! Tales of the Underworld! Featuring a pair of really cool bounty hunter characters.
I can take or leave Cade Bane. Never been all that interested in him, for whatever reason. He’s fine. I’m far more interested in Asajj Ventress! I’ve always liked her. And I just recently finished Bad Batch, and this version of her appeared for a single episode. I’m all for having her exist as a badass ronin with a yellow lightsaber. I’m perfectly happy with that being her place in the Star Wars Universe!
We don’t have long to wait for this one. Tales of the Underworld comes out on May 4, Star Wars Day.

Severance for Introverts, by Only Leigh
One of my favorite internet cartoonists is Only Leigh, on YouTube! She does fun work, with great voice acting, but she doesn’t post often because (I hope) she’s busy on a bunch of other big projects and work! But she came out with a random video to celebrate the end of Severance the other day!
Don’t worry, there are no spoilers for the TV show Severance on AppleTV+ — which I highly recommend. It’s a great show that lives up to all the hype it gets. And the season 2 finale was excellent! Just like this cartoon.
And just like, hopefully, the rest of this week. Sigh. It’s only Tuesday.

I’m Less Interested in Elio Now
The next Pixar movie is Elio, about a boy who gets wrapped up in some alien craziness. I liked the look of the first teaser trailer. It seemed like some random boy was plucked off Earth, mistakenly believed to be Earth’s president, or something. But nah, that’s apparently not the plot at all.
Now it’s a movie about an awkward kid finding his place in the universe. Which is fine. That’s a good lesson for kids. And that eyepatch thing is very representative of kids who had to get that eyepatch thing. But this trailer really loses me. He’s a kid who wants to get abducted by aliens, that’s his quirk. And when he does, he makes an alien best friend and they gotta deal with being dorks together, and then deal with an overbearing father. It all feels very pat.
Anyway, Pixar can do whatever they like. Elio comes to theaters on June 20.

Super Trailer Thursday!
For some reason, a bunch of interesting trailers have been coming out this week. And I love trailers. And they’re easy to share when I’m otherwise busy. So how about we enjoy a couple of trailers for shows and movies I have a vague interest in?
Like the live action trailer for Lilo & Stitch!
I enjoy the animated Lilo & Stitch as much as the next person. And I don’t care for the Disney live action movies as much as the next person. Heck, the live action Snow White comes out, like, next week. Does anybody care beyond the haters? Still, who doesn’t enjoy Stitch shenanigans?
Lilo & Stitch live action comes to theaters on May 23.
Next up is an animated show on Netflix that I just learned about: Devil May Cry! I never played the games, but I’ve enjoyed the animated Castlevania shows, so maybe this will also be good?
It looks pretty good. I’m all in favor of turning classic video games into cool new anime shows. I even did a List of Six suggesting some other shows! And maybe this will be a faithful adaptation and I’ll actually find out what Devil May Cry is about. Won’t that be something?
Devil May Cry, the series, comes to Netflix on April 3.
Lastly, there’s going to be a new season of Poker Face, the mystery show starring Natasha Lyonne and created by Rian Johnson.
For some reason, I didn’t care for the first season of Poker Face. It did nothing for me! Even though I enjoy Lyonne’s work and am a huge fan of Knives Out and Glass Onion. Just something about Poker Face didn’t click for me. So I don’t even know if I’ll watch this. But some of you might, so I thought I’d share.
Poker Face season 2 comes to Peacock on May 8.

An Animated Sonic the Hedgehog
Tell It Animated is back with Sonic the Hedgehog! What a nice way to start this Monday, which is gonna be a very interesting Monday for me. And it’s nice to have a simple animated video to share at the start of the day.
Good old Sonic. Always up for some fun and silliness. He’s had a lot of good designs, and a lot of crummy designs. And now they’re all animated. I dunno. I got nothing in me this morning. Just wanted to post something and get to work for a busy day! So enjoy!
And, as always, Tell It Animated should do a video on Robin!
