A podcast where a lesbian trans woman who's an animation enthusiast, her mother who's a teacher and has written a thesis on her love of videogames, and her Scooby-Doo-loving wife watch (mostly) animated movies and ask the eternal question: "how's it hold up?"

    Digimon: The Movie (2000)

    When one thinks back on the era of anime localization that existed in the 90s and eary 2000s, several things come to mind: a desire to remove all Japanese cultural references. A need to never let the soundtrack be silent. A desire for extra jokes. Any and all edges sanded down, no matter how much the script must be rewritten to make it happen. And all of those issues appear in this particular film! So... is it any good? Let's find out!

    Shorts! Merrie Melodies: Prest-O Change-O & Hare-Um Scare-Um

    At this point in our viewing of Warner Bros shorts, two classic Looney Tunes stars have fully appeared (Porky & Daffy), one is nearly arrived (Elmer Fudd) and another inches ever forward, but still eludes us. That upcoming star is of course the biggest of them all: Bugs Bunny. In these two shorts we see bits and pieces of the rabbit who will one day charm the world, but the hare in these shorts is still a far cry from that beloved character. That said, are these shorts still enjoyable in their own right? Listen to find out!

    Pokemon the Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back (Japanese Version)

    When movies in one language are brought over to another, whether through subtitles or dubbing, something is always lost, to at least some extent, even when translated with the best of intentions. But sometimes things are translated with less than good intentions, with more of an eye toward making them palatable to another audience than faithfully representing the original work. This sort of translation was especially common before the mid-to-late 2000s, and thus it should be no surprise that the first Pokemon movie was affected. We watched the English version last year so now let's compare and see... how much was lost, and how do they hold up against one another?

    Shorts! Silly Symphonies: The Ugly Duckling (1939)

    Remakes are a tricky thing, especially nowadays. If the original was already good, what does remaking it offer? But when the original was already an adaptation of another work, there's always the possibility that a remake could be more faithful to that work, or even just interpret it differently. Such is the case with this final Silly Symphony, which adapts a classic fable that the series had already very loosely adapted earlier in the decade. This new adaptation not only hews closer to the source material, but boasts not only more detailed animation but also color, in comparison to the original's black and white. Does this automatically make it better? Not necessarily! Let's see how this thing holds up and determine which Ugly Duckling Silly Symphony reigns supreme!

    Animal Farm (1954)

    With a recently-released new adaption of this classic novella stirring controversy, we decided to take a look at the original adaption, the one often used in classrooms. While it has its deviations, it overall sticks much closer to the source material, though it also has a notably small budget that effects the quality of the animation and the size of the vocal cast. Is this version of Orwell's story still worth viewing today, or is it best left to history? Listen to find out!

    Shorts! Popeye: It's the Natural Thing to Do

    The Popeye cartoons tend to fall into something of a pattern: Popeye and Bluto are both interested in Olive Oyl, and they fight about it. But what if they... didn't? This self-aware cartoon comedically interrogates the violence at the heart of your typical Popeye cartoon, with the iconic trio being tasked to avoid brutality for the day. Does this result in a good cartoon, or is this one best skipped? Let's find out!

    The Muppets Take Manhattan

    (Spoiler Section Length - 6min 6sec) The final film in the original Muppets trilogy is one that is frustratingly difficult to find, compared to the two before it. It's not available on the same streaming services as the other two! It's in fact had weird distribution rights for a long time, and that combined with the lack of a digital soundtrack and a more grounded tone than the others has made it one of the least talked about of the Muppets films. But should it be talked about? Or does it deserve to fade into history? Let's find out!

    Shorts! MGM: Goldilocks and the Three Bears / Terrytoons: The Three Bears

    When it comes to classic fairytales, they're often used as fodder for cartoon shenanigans, so much so that you can compare multiple versions of the same fairytale from the same studio over the years. But in this case we're focused on two different studios making a cartoon based on the same source material in the same year, but with wildly different budgets and directorial styles. Do either of these shorts still hold up in the modern day? And regardless, how do they compare to one another? Let's find out!
