Everything about this is fascinating to me. A mother and son spend 5 years and apparently just $200 to make an animated film. The animation is terrible. It predictably flops. But after about a week in theaters it goes insanely viral and all of a sudden it's now the most profitable relative to budget box office of all time.

Based on comments I've seen from people that have seen it, it's a so bad it's good type of movie, but some people actually did enjoy parts of the story and the music.

There's a fucking hand drawn movie theater poster for it too:

I love this lol

I think there's a lot of similarity between Scavenger's Reign and Common Side Effects. Many of the same people worked on it. Pantheon is also a great slow burn scifi.

Mighty Nein is quite different. It's fantasy, and leans into overt comedy a lot more than the other 3. But still very good.

Secret of Kells was 2009 and Big Hero 6 was 12 years ago but it's fine. Close enough.

HAHA

To be fair, Wish was quite bad and was largely panned by critics and the audience after release. Elio so far seems to have gotten a better response by both.

Big budget animated sequels like this always take a long time. Apparently it's been in development like a month after the first one came out. I do think it's a bit ridiculous to be in development this long for a movie that did well and is adapted from a series of books, before even starting actual production.

It's been so long since I watched Ponyo, I barely remember anything about it. Definitely due for a rewatch.

I watched KPop Demon Hunters this past weekend and it's honestly a lot better than I was expecting. Some of the humour was a bit too "aggressive" for me but the story was pretty solid, fun characters and great animation.

A lot of these were very close to being in my personal top 4 of the past few years.

Due to personal life stuff I was not very active on ![email protected] for the last few months of 2025. Thankfully, due to a handful of users who I'm very grateful to, there was some semi-regular activity still that kept the community active and slowly growing.

Since February I've been slowing getting more and more active. We're at 1.8k subscribers after almost a year on piefed which is more than it had after about a year on lemm.ee. But I also don't think it's quite as active as it was it was back then which is partly my own fault.

Nimona, Wild Robot, Puss in Boots The Last Wish, TMNT Mutant Mayhem, The Mitchells vs the Machines, The Bad Guys, Flow, Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio, Rango

I don't know much about Warrior Cats but it seems to be surprisingly huge.

Mob Psycho s2 is great!

They're still making Common Side Effects. We're supposed to get more info and I believe a screening of season 2 as well during the upcoming Annecy Festival in a few weeks.

Haha that's great. I love the voice acting.

This is very cool. Thanks for sharing

Forgot to say, this is a very cool idea by the way. I hope it goes well.

That was awesome!
