Toonpost started in a dorm room with too many VHS tapes and not enough sleep. Five years and 400+ essays later, we’re still arguing about whether Gumball is post-modern or just exhausted.
We believe animation is where the weirdest ideas survive. Toonpost exists to write about them loudly, link the good episodes, interview the people who made them, and remind everyone that “for kids” is usually code for “actually really ambitious.”
No ads. No sponsored takes. Just six weirdos and a subscribers’ list that keeps the lights on.
Pitch us a story
We don’t pretend to be above slapstick. If a character falls on a banana peel, we’re applauding it.
Middle-of-the-road takes are for people who don’t love things. We’ll argue for the underrated Tiny Toons spinoff every time.
Nothing we cover is paid for. Our “featured” section is just the stuff we actually watched twice.
Six editors, three continents, one shared Slack channel called #scooby-gate.
Six humans. Zero chill. All opinions.
Used to storyboard commercials. Now just yells about Steven Universe.
Owns 14 boxed sets. Has feelings about each.
Reads single-issues standing up at the comic shop. Still buys them.
Makes animators cry (kind tears). Somehow always invited back.
Mira posts a 2,000-word review of Infinity Train on her personal blog. Six friends read it.
Toonpost goes live with a WordPress theme and three contributors. First email newsletter goes to 82 people.
We break 10k monthly readers. First interview with a Nickelodeon animator. Everyone cries.
Toonpost gets mentioned on Every Frame a Painting’s comeback tour. We briefly lose our minds.
We’re here. 5.2M pages read, 412 articles, six editors, zero ads. Onwards to sillier things.
We probably agree. Pitch us a story or just send a meme.
