So...the final episode will be out in theaters starting June 4th 2026 but it won't be on the internet until June 19th. That's 15 days later.

I can't say I'm terribly happy with this decision, because early moviegoers are going to Snape Kills Dumbledore the hell out of this. If you aren't planning on seeing it in theaters, you might as well bash your phone and router in with a brick, because I guarantee you, the internet will be abuzz.



Abuzz. Get it? Like bees. *dead silence*
*hydra's eye twitches and the virtual world briefly glitches out*

Well, anyway. I got my ticket because paying $13 to watch a 98-minute (why not 57 minute?) animated movie sounds pretty amazing. In case you guys can't tell, I like animation. But I really like jaw-dropping, heart stopping, mind-bending paraphernalia just like TADC. And the team is incredible and deserve financial support (support what you love and there'll be more of it!). And I can't wait to be surrounded by fellow fans who probably smell... great! They probably smell great and are totally normal and sane and won't have any incendiary hot takes and dammit, I'm one of them, aren't I?! *schedules three showers that day and fresh laundry the night before*

I'm going to see the movie on June 5th, and I'll just have to go offline and read only paperbacks for the 24-hour period between the earliest theatrical release and my viewing.

I promise not to post anything TADC-related until June 20th, the day after it hits the internet, so you guys better watch it by then or prepare to be spoiled. >:[

Whoa! Snape kills Dumbledore?

The CEO of Glitch put out a statement essentially saying that the two-week gap isn't ideal - he wanted one week or less but the movie theaters wanted at least a month, so this is the compromise solution.

The theaters consider a mere two weeks' exclusivity to be "unheard of" for them (my opinion: the theaters need a reality check, because two weeks on the internet is a pretty long time. This gap is really going to screw up critics/fan reviews, because normally, new episodes of shows get dissected in a matter of days, if not hours. Asking them to hold their horses for a fortnight is ridiculous and takes a lot of wind out of those sails - by the time the internet watchers get up to speed, the moviegoers might have largely moved on)

He also said that taking the indie internet show to theaters is a HUGE deal, not only for this show, but all the ones that come after and that even getting this far was a major uphill battle. (I agree, this screening will probably be looked back as a watershed moment in getting indie animation into the mainstream)

That and they're trying to get more theaters to join up, especially in their home country of Australia (IIRC, Europe is still very under-served, which is ridiculous) but fans asking for it really makes the difference.
