Disney-Pixar productions set the bar for modern animation and are among some of the best films of the last decade. "Inside Out" is the 15th feature-length film from Disney-Pixar and the topic of this episode. Does it hold up to Pixar's standards? On this podcast, it depends on who you ask. Enjoy!

This week, Ingrid and Ryan discuss "The Brady Kids," the animated adaptation of "The Brady Bunch." They deconstruct it more than anyone ever intended (or should). Enjoy! Follow Sketchyfacebook.com/SketchyPodcasttwitter.com/SketchyPodcastSketchyPodcast@gmail.com

We finish our double feature with the 1988 Studio Ghibli film "My Neighbor Totoro" by Hayao Miyazaki, the fun contrast to last week's film "Grave of the Fireflies." The recognizable "Totoro" serves as Studio Ghibli's mascot, akin to Mickey Mouse and Disney. So, even if you've never seen the film, you've likely seen this character pop up in something. And now he's popping up in our podcast. Enjoy! Follow Sketchyfacebook.com/SketchyPodcasttwitter.com/SketchyPodcastSketchyPodcast@gmail.com

This week it's the first part of a double feature. It's the 1988 Studio Ghibli film "Grave of the Fireflies," directed by Isao Takahata, which many describe as one of the saddest films of all time. So, it's appropriate that Sketchy, the saddest podcast of all time (sad as in pathetic), discuss this heartwrenching film.

This week it's the 1977 live action Disney musical "Pete's Dragon" that sprinkles in a few bits of animation (directed by Don Bluth) amongst such stars as Helen Reddy ("I Am Woman") and Mickey Rooney (from that racist part in "Breakfast At Tiffany's"). We figured it was just enough animation to qualify for this show. Enjoy! MusicHappy Up Hereby Röyksopp Follow Sketchyfacebook.com/SketchyPodcasttwitter.com/SketchyPodcastSketchyPodcast@gmail.com

This episode has been planned for a while. It's a discussion of the animated band "The Gorillaz," formed by "Blur" frontman Damon Albarn and the "Tank Girl" comic book series creator Jamie Hewlett. With several albums (including the coveted "Demon Days"), a number of music videos, a rich backstory and an impressive list of collaborators (De La Soul, Lou Reed, Danger Mouse, and more), there was a ton to talk about. So, get into it and enjoy! MusicHappy Landfillby The Gorillaz Follow Sketchyfacebook.com/SketchyPodcasttwitter.com/SketchyPodcastSketchyPodcast@gmail.com

Sketchy discusses a listener request. It's MTV's "Daria," and it's as 90s alternative as you remember. Enjoy! MusicYou're Standing On My Neckby Splendora Follow Sketchyfacebook.com/SketchyPodcasttwitter.com/SketchyPodcastSketchyPodcast@gmail.com

Several months after it won the Oscar for "Best Animated Feature," Sketchy finally decides to discuss "Big Hero 6." Featuring the voice talents of Scott Adsit (from 30 Rock), T.J. Miller (from everywhere), Ryan Potter and Daniel Henney, this film touches on a lot. So, stop reading and start listening. Enjoy!

This week it's the Dreamworks 2015 animation "Home," starring Jim Parsons (Big Bang Theory) as "Oh", an alien belong to the race "Boov" that kicked humans out of their house and made Earth its new home. Rihanna also stars as "Tip," a girl who escaped the initial purge and who's looking for her mom. Tip and Oh team up to help each other out... even though they can't stand each other... and even though Matt hated this movie. Enjoy!

Sketchy falls in love with 2014's "Song of the Sea," an Irish animated film by Tomm Moore (The Secret of Kells) that was nominated for an Academy Award. Featuring the voice talents of David Rawle and Brendan Gleeson, this film explores the Celtic myth of the selkie from the perspective of the a little girl and her brother. Enjoy!

Sketchy continues its discussion from last episode with "Diebuster," the sequel to "Gunbuster." And it's even more confusing. Watch the series and not the condensed movie version of "Diebuster." Life will be better for you, I promise. Enjoy! MusicGroovin' Magicby ROUND TABLE feat. Nino Follow Sketchyfacebook.com/SketchyPodcasttwitter.com/SketchyPodcastSketchyPodcast@gmail.com

Sketchy discusses Gunbuster aka Aim For The Top!, a series much beloved by Matt that was condensed into a 90-minute film that seems like a mash-up of Pacific Rim, Starship Troopers and Interstellar. We discuss the film, which was difficult due to some scenes being left out. So, if you get a chance, watch the series first. And enjoy!

This week, Sketchy discusses the 2009 film "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs."
