State of Animation: 2025 Mid-Year Report - Renegade Animation #188
In this episode, Captain Kaye and the Animation Guru share their honest thoughts on the state of theatrical animation in 2025, while addressing the behind the scenes production of Disney/Pixar's Elio.
What’s going on, everyone? This is your Captain speaking, alongside my esteemed co-host, the Animation Guru! We were going to do an episode like this anyway, but then The Hollywood Reporter dropped a bombshell that gave us even more material to work with. One thing I have to note is that this episode was recorded before news was announced that A24 has acquired the distribution rights in the US for NeZha 2, and we will talk about that more on the next episode. For now, please tune into this podcast to hear the full discussion about the state of 2025 in theatrical animation!
