Any kids with an archaeological bent can have it nicely perverted by the third instalment in this digital animation series originating from Spain and devoted to Chicago bricklayer Tad Stones (an echo of Indiana Jones, who inspires some moments here), whose part-time adventures as a would-be archaeologist have already landed him with a living-dead Maya chum called Mummy.

HBO Max’s animation cull shows it has no respect for creators

If you thought that Batgirl was the biggest casualty of the Warner Bros. and Discovery merger, that was just the beginning.

The list of shows that have been pulled is ever-growing, but so far around forty titles have been cancelled. The most high-profile ones include Batman: The Caped Crusader, Summer Camp Island, Infinity Train, Little Ellen, and Mao Mao: Heroes Of Pure…

Image: Cartoon Network/Warner Bros. AnimationSince the sudden cancellation of the Batgirl and Scoob films back in July, both of which were basically done, the newly rechristened Warner Bros.

Where Is Anne Frank review – Ari Folman’s well-intentioned take on the young diarist | Animation in film

The director behind Waltz With Bashir, the superb animated account of the hallucinatory horrors of war, Ari Folman was never going to take the predictable route with his riff on the much loved, much translated diary of Anne Frank. This handsome but uneven animation weaves together excerpts from the diary with the quest of Kitty – the imaginary friend to whom Anne addressed much of it – to locate the young writer in present-day Amsterdam. This is topped off with a slight heavy-handed political message: well intentioned,…
