    Reading an article about the behind-the-scenes of Ice Cream Man, apparently they had to shoot the sequence where the kids attack the school - a fairly big chunk of the film - in a single day. Yes, I remember that really worked out for Doug when he scheduled half of To Boldy Flee on a single day.

    If you could condense nearly everything wrong with armchair film criticism back then and today down into something bite-sized, it'd be this moment from To Boldly Flee (2012, dir. Doug Walker)

    They were very proud that they fit references to every Star Trek movie in To Boldly Flee.

    Day 191 recommending an animated film for a full year. Today is my 76th favourite : Flee. A film even harder to watch in 2026 than it was upon release due to the world largely turning against human rights. An animated documentary that is also a call to embrace “difference”…. youtu.be/xFiXAoFstCk?...

    A movie for those who liked “Yo Boldly Flee,” but thought it should be entirely about Lewis, who plays all the major parts, has everyone tells him how much they love him and how awesome he is, where his existential crisis is just how amazing he is and doesn’t have to grow as a person.

    It’s still a long way to go to have an animated film nominated for Best Picture, but this is the first time since Encanto and Flee that animated films have been nominated outside of the main category with The Wild Robot(Score and Sound) and Flow(International Film).

    I loved EVERYTHING about this film. Jonas Rasmussen apparently is best friends with Amin, who just happens to be a Afghani who had to escape during Afghanistan's civil war because his father was one of the "desaparecidos" (to borrow the Chilean term of those silently murdered during Pinochet's rule). Sounds ordinary? But oh no it isn't. Now in his mid-30s, living in Denmark, gay, and having a boyfriend who wants to get married, Amin realizes that to have any quality of life, he must confront…

    Everybody has a story that deserves to be told, and an Afghan refugee’s personal narrative of oppression and the pursuit of a better life is portrayed in “Flee.” Director Jonas Poher Rasmussen animates a discussion between himself and his anonymous friend “Amin,” a man that has had one hell of an existence. Amin recounts his dramatic story through his own words, beginning when he was a young boy in Afghanistan in the 1980s to his incredible journey that made him the man he is today. The…
