🎬 About

 Welcome to the Animation Film Arena!

ThisIsTheMovie.com is where animated films don’t just play—they compete.
You don’t just watch here—you decide what stays.

Every animated short is handpicked from the edges—indie gems, AI creations, genre surprises, soul-stirrers.
They’re not obvious picks. They’re found, not followed.

But here’s the twist:
Animations don’t live here forever.
They get a chance.
You get the vote.

All films are pitted against each other; your choice determines which one earns its crown—and which one vanishes.
That’s the game. That’s the gallery.
A rotating boutique of curated animated cinema, where you’re not just a viewer.
You’re the jury.

And it doesn’t stop there. Animations cycle in and out—a revolving door of competition. Some return for a second chance, either to prove themselves against a new lineup or to defend their crown. Others step aside to make room for fresh discoveries. With every new round, the matchups change, and so do the results.

It’s also collaborative. Alongside the curated 16, you can suggest animations you think should be in the mix. That keeps the voting fair, alive, and truly shaped by the community.

So yes—watch carefully.
Vote your faves.
Suggest what’s missing.
Because around here, nothing lasts forever—except the thrill of the competition.
