Destacado el 16 de Sep, 2025 por Null: [REWRITE] Mat Brunet is a politically illiterate French-Canadian Disney adult and artist who abandoned nuanced critique for relentless political grandstanding and stripping for his young audience.
“Because as we all know, there is almost nothing politically worse than a centrist.”
Beginnings And Overview
Mathieu “Mat” Brunet (b. October 5th, 1992 in Montreal, Canada) is a fairly small but contentious figure in the cartoon community. Mat started his channel, ElectricDragon505, in 2009 at 17 years old and branded the persona “AniMat.” His first videos would be the original iteration of Animation Lookback: Walt Disney Animation Studios. Animation Lookback would become one of his main series, where he looks into the history of a certain animation studio.
Other notable series on his channel include:
-the self-explanatory AniMat’s Reviews, with his first being The Princess and the Frog
-The Muppet Vlog, where he analyzes episodes of The Muppet Show and various other Muppet projects
-The Epic Mickey Files, where he talks about the history of various easter eggs in the video game Epic Mickey
-AniMat Watches, where he reacts to bad animated films
In 2010, Mat joined Mr. Coat and Friends, a discount That Guy With The Glasses which also houses the likes of Pan Pizza/Rebeltaxi and Tony Goldmark/Some Jerk With A Camera.
Mat graduated from CEGEP - John Abbot College with a DEC (Quebec Diploma of College Studies) in Fine Arts in 2013.
In 2015, Mat joined FilmBook (A), a platform to post his reviews, get early screenings, and start a podcast titled The Animation Podcast.
In 2018, Mat left FilmBook due to a falling out with the website and created a new podcast titled AniMat’s Crazy Cartoon Cast. Later that year, he also left Mr. Coat and Friends due to gay infighting.
In 2022, Mat became a Rotten Tomatoes tomatometer-approved critic (A).
Art
Mat is also an artist and his art is… not great to say the least.
His drawings of people in particular are pretty bad.
User @CrusaderPrime has noted that Mat may have traced a couple of times. In particular his Kirby drawing and Caillou eating his sister, a parody of Saturn Devouring His Son by Francisco Goya.
He also has a Deviantart account that has since been deactivated but judging from the Wayback Machine and images from the original OP he appears to be a massive coomer.
Sony Hatred and Disney Favoritism
In a Q&A, Mat stated that he hates Sony Pictures Animation because of how overly cartoony their films are, how bad their writing often is, and how they run their business.
(A, 12:26)
This comes out in full force in what is considered his most infamous review, Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs. Mat opens the review by saying that his nicknames for the film are “Cloudy With A Chance This Sucks,” “The Cancer of Animation,” “The Disgrace of Animation,” and “My Arch Nemesis In The Form Of An Animated Feature.”
(A)
Mat goes on to call the writing weak, the story being a generic underdog story, and most of the characters annoying. Those are fair criticisms, but his other main criticisms don’t make any sense.
These other criticisms are that the character design was done poorly, and the character animation is too over the top. He fails to realize that characters in an animated film can have abstract designs and animated films can have over the top slapstick, both of which can give it its own unique identity. We are then reminded of the days of old school Mr. Enter rambling about SpongeBob when Mat states that the animators “should seriously consider a career change.”
Mat also goes on to bitch about how Cloudy was shown in a montage of other animated films at the Oscars, saying it’s like showing off all the great American heroes, then flashing a picture of Charles Manson. This part appears to have since been taken out of the original review.
A few years later, when The Emoji Movie got announced, Mat predicted it was going to be bad, and said that finding ways to defend it is on the same level as people voting for Trump just as to not have Hillary Clinton be president.
In his Emoji Movie review, Mat proclaims that Sony Animation is better off dead and calls for someone at Sony to shut down the animation studio.
(A, 11:48, 14:24)
A little while after the Emoji Movie review, a YouTuber known as Yoshi Player (now known as That Yozzy Bloke) would come out with a video criticizing Mat for his hatred of Sony.
(A)
The year after, Mat would clap back on his podcast, and Yoshi Player would make a response video.
(A)
Mat and Yoshi Player would later set aside their differences.
(A)
Since then, Mat retired his schtick of overly hating on Sony, and has since praised them on some of their recent films such as the Spiderverse films.
While Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs is considered a good film by many audiences and critics, some of Disney’s more recent films including Ralph Breaks The Internet, Raya And The Last Dragon, and Wish, have been mostly seen as subpar at best. Being the Disney Adult that he is, Mat of course gave these three films positive ratings (an 8/10, 9/10, and 8/10 respectively).
Weeb Wars
Mat was a small player in Weeb Wars but is notable nonetheless because he briefly gained the attention of a certain Balldo lawyer.
During Weeb Wars, Mat joined the side of #KickVic and even had MarzGurl as a guest on his podcast. Whether the latter was related to Weeb Wars is unknown.
In late December 2019, an #IStandWithVic supporter posted a clip to Twitter of Mat on his podcast saying that the authorities should investigate Nick Rekieta and Ty Beard into where the money from Vic’s GoFundMe went.
Rekieta was tagged in the tweet and he would acknowledge it.
Rekieta would be asked to debate Mat and vice versa, and Rekieta would eventually tag Mat, asking if he’d like a debate.
Some time later, Rekieta tagged Mat and asked him again.
A few days later, Mat would finally come out saying he would not debate Rekieta.
When Vic lost his case, Mat would talk about it on his podcast, saying it was Rekieta’s fault he lost.
In the end, knowing where Rekieta is now, it’s probably safe to say that Mat got the last laugh.
(A)
AniMat, Cuties Defender…?
Mat first talked about Cuties on an episode of his podcast after the backlash Netflix received for its marketing. He said that people are too quick to jump to conclusions because nobody has seen the film yet (the film indeed, had not been released yet) and the marketing made the film a victim of reactionary culture.
(A, 3:15)
He would make an interesting offhand remark about the film in response to a comment in another podcast episode a month later.
One year later, a sperg by the name of Joseph “Jojo” Nims would catch wind of these comments and go on a campaign to try and cancel Mat.
For paying $100 to Mat’s Patreon, one can request him to review an animated film or series of their choice. Jojo asked Mat to review Cuties and posted their DM exchange to his Instagram.
When Mat told him that he is against child exploitation, Jojo said that he realized this also included Cuties, put out an apology, nuked his Twitter, and deleted almost everything regarding the situation.
In short, this turned out to be a nothingburger.
Political Sperging - American Politics With A Cancuk!
The 2016 election turned Mat into who we know him as now, going from being known as “the cartoon reviewer who hates Sony” to “the cartoon reviewer who won’t shut up about politics.”
In an episode of The Animation Podcast, Mat called Sony, “The Donald Trump of Animation.” In a future episode, he describes that a bunch of Trump supporters came into the comments complaining about it and to not discuss politics, and he essentially says, “too bad, I’ll talk about politics if I want to!” This would become his mentality going forward. In this episode, he also talks about a tweet made by Trump in which he attacks Hillary Clinton that was deemed as anti-Semitic because it featured a Star of David on it, and later used a Frozen sticker book as a strawman argument for his justification for using it.
Mat reveals his feelings about Trump for the first time in it.
(A)
He would also talk about Trump winning the election, and in the description for this highlight he would declare that Trump supporters were worse than Trump himself.
(A)
Going forward, he would randomly insert politics in his videos.
He is also very politically vocal on social media.
However, it’s on his current podcast where Mat is the most political, and his little knowledge of it and demonization of Trump supporters and the anti-woke are in full display.
Starting out with something small, when talking about the release of the Mario movie trailer, he highlights how anti-woke people didn’t like Princess Peach’s portrayal, calling them mentally ill, incels, white supremacists, and violent criminals. This is one of Mat’s most common traits.
After Biden won, Mat made a rant about it on his podcast, stating that:
(from the beginning)
Apparently, he would apologize, but put a pinned comment after January 6th saying that he had taken it back.
Speaking of…
After January 6th, Mat would talk about in a podcast episode aptly titled, “Why I Talk About Politics.” His answer: “it’s the right thing to do.”
(A, 3:57)
He also pinned a comment saying he would sweep up any Trump-supporting comments going forward. He has failed at this, as many can still be seen in his comments section.
When Scott Cawthon got phonebooked and it was leaked that he donated to Republican politicians, Mat covered it and stated that he cannot be a Trump-supporting evangelical Christian AND a game creator with a massive platform, but can only choose one, and compared him to Notch. He also says that Scott is putting himself over his family by retiring and being a Trump supporter, and as such, he’s deplorable and the FNAF community and his family are better off without him.
(4:20)
He even couldn’t separate politics from his coverage of Rekieta’s arrest.
Surprisingly, he only talked about Trump's 2024 victory briefly and linked to a few charities to help us poor Americans. This is honestly too insignificant to include.
It has since escalated, where in a recent (as of writing) podcast episode, Mat said that while he doesn’t advocate for it, using potentially illegal means look more like a viable option to stop Trump. He would also call Trump and Elon “pesky vermin” that “just need to be exterminated.”
And let’s end this section off on a high note. Right before the 2020 election, Mat decided to briefly embrace Breadtube and make a video essay about the politics of Bioshock Infinite, a video which truly shows how politically illiterate he truly is.
(A)
In the comments, Mat urges people to vote to stop Trump, says that he looks down upon people that tell him to “stop talking about politics,” and after Biden won, pinned a celebratory comment.
More General Spergery
This section is for some miscellaneous things of note that don’t really fit in any other section.
In Mat’s review of Alice Through the Looking Glass, a running gag he made throughout was that various strange things would happen to him every time he would reappear on screen. And he thought it would be a good idea to get naked on screen when a good chunk of his audience is likely children.
Speaking of naked Mat, he also once had an Anime Dakimakura Body Pillows sponsorship video in which he was shirtless for part of it.
In one episode of his podcast he lambasted a fan for presumably speaking positively of anti-SJW channel Clownfish TV.
Coincidentally, Geeky Sparkles, one of the hosts of Clownfish TV, would reply to a gimmick Twitter account which posted a tweet of Mat’s which stated that them and a couple other channels push a white nationalist agenda.
And of course, he celebrated the “downfall” of Kiwi Farms when ol’ Lukey boy and No-Dong Jones took us down for like five minutes. He used the usual buzzwords, such as “stalker,” “harassment,” “white nationalist,” and “Nazi.” He also said our goal is “ethnic cleansing.” LOL. LMAO even.
(2:24)
“Mainstream” Attention
Surprisingly, Mat had a few moments of recognition outside of YouTube.
His first notable one was a TV spot on Chinese-government funded (because of course) news network CGTN America in which he was interviewed about how Frozen became a massive franchise. He is referred to as an “animation historian” and “film critic.”
(A)
He was also interviewed in a Wall Street Journal article about Pinocchio.

Mat has also had a few voice acting gigs, including one from an animated film called “Treasure Fellowship” in which he voiced a donkey character named Bluey and was the trailer announcer, as well as in a yet-to-be-released film called “The Heart of Them.” His voice is not present in the latter trailer.
(audio issues aren't mine)
Mat even had a few live action gigs, albeit as extras, in CBS’ Ghosts, Transplant, and Sweet as Maple Syrup.

Art
Mat is also an artist and his art is… not great to say the least.
His drawings of people in particular are pretty bad.
User @CrusaderPrime has noted that Mat may have traced a couple of times. In particular his Kirby drawing and Caillou eating his sister, a parody of Saturn Devouring His Son by Francisco Goya.
He also has a Deviantart account that has since been deactivated but judging from the Wayback Machine and images from the original OP he appears to be a massive coomer.

He is also very politically vocal on social media.
Which one is it, Mat? Are you pro- or anti-gun?
"I'm a slave to my government and will take the jab!"
"And like the slave I am, these truckers can go to hell!"
Unsurprisingly, he's pro-troon...
...and pro-Antifa.
Regulate conservatism? Isn't that what the dictators you're very much against would do?
Naturally, he was upset when Kyle Rittenhouse was found not guilty.
He also celebrated the death of Rush Limbaugh.

-he was right about everything he said about Trump and his supporters, that some are afraid to admit it and claims people are even starting to apologize to him about it
-Trump was the worst thing to happen to America since 9/11
-those who supported and voted for Trump are equivalent to the terrorists who flew the planes into the WTC
-it’s accurate to call Trump “America’s Hitler” and Trump supporters “Nazis”
-if you support Trump, you sympathize with everything he stands for (white supremacy, etc.)
-they are as racist as the KKK
-they hate all women
-they are all homophobic
-they are all xenophobic
-they are all transphobic
-they are all anti-Semitic
-if you hate that he calls you all these things:
-conservatism is a mental disease
-moderate your conservatism, be more like John McCain
-Trump supporters are more violent than Antifa and the far-left
-shut the hell up centrists, there is no “both sides” argument
-if Trump supporters don’t want to be treated like criminals, apologize and concede

-if you want to be a real Christian, condemn Trump
-there’s no such thing as an intelligent or Christian Trump supporter-if you don’t like being called racist, say “Black Lives Matter” and call for police reform

Apparently, he would apologize, but put a pinned comment after January 6th saying that he had taken it back.
Speaking of…
After January 6th, Mat would talk about in a podcast episode aptly titled, “Why I Talk About Politics.” His answer: “it’s the right thing to do.”
He would refer to it as a “terrorist attack” and would say that he took back his apology as just highlighted, and doubled down on his statement that Trump and his supporters were the worst thing to happen to America since 9/11. He would ask, “what is it that offends you more: the fact that the US Capitol got a domestic terrorist attack by Trump supporters, or my statement that Trump supporters are terrorists in response to this attack?” Mat would say if it’s the latter, you need to "reevaluate your priorities” and that “you are more comfortable with what happened in The Capitol.” He would then call anyone who tells him to stop talking about politics “ignorant” and “complacent of the white supremacy that happened in The Capitol.”
Mat would then say that there is a white supremacy problem in the police force and there should be no right-wing police officers as they are mentally incapable of doing their job, justifying the need for defunding the police and highlighting the supposed double standard of the police during The Capitol attack vs. the BLM riots (he of course refers to them as “protests”).
Mat would then talk about how Trump supporters supposedly blame Antifa for everything, and refers to them as “an idea,” thus anyone who hates Antifa is a fascist.
Mat would then say we need to do what Germany did after WWII and ban Trumpism, silence right-leaning figures and get them banned off social media, and that even supporting Trump should be considered illegal, where “they deserve to go to prison and live the rest of their lives to be a cellmate’s girlfriend.” He would further say that Trump supporters deserve to be unemployed, lose friends, lose relationships, and have everything taken away from them so they could live in poverty, and in order to be accepted back into society they should silence their beliefs. He would also say that despite being Canadian, he is “1,000% more American” than any Trump supporter.
Mat would also apologize for his statement from years ago of The Emoji Movie being “The Donald Trump of Animation” because the former is just a bad film while the latter is “literally Hitler” (LOL).

He would also say that despite being Canadian, he is “1,000% more American” than any Trump supporter.
Mat would also apologize for his statement from years ago of The Emoji Movie being “The Donald Trump of Animation” because the former is just a bad film while the latter is “literally Hitler” (LOL).
He also pinned a comment saying he would sweep up any Trump-supporting comments going forward. He has failed at this, as many can still be seen in his comments section.
When Scott Cawthon got phonebooked and it was leaked that he donated to Republican politicians, Mat covered it and stated that he cannot be a Trump-supporting evangelical Christian AND a game creator with a massive platform, but can only choose one, and compared him to Notch. He also says that Scott is putting himself over his family by retiring and being a Trump supporter, and as such, he’s deplorable and the FNAF community and his family are better off without him.
He even couldn’t separate politics from his coverage of Rekieta’s arrest.
Surprisingly, he only talked about Trump's 2024 victory briefly and linked to a few charities to help us poor Americans. This is honestly too insignificant to include.
It has since escalated, where in a recent (as of writing) podcast episode, Mat said that while he doesn’t advocate for it, using potentially illegal means look more like a viable option to stop Trump. He would also call Trump and Elon “pesky vermin” that “just need to be exterminated.”
And let’s end this section off on a high note. Right before the 2020 election, Mat decided to briefly embrace Breadtube and make a video essay about the politics of Bioshock Infinite, a video which truly shows how politically illiterate he truly is.
(I am not a Bioshock expert, so some of the things I say here might be inaccurate)
5:17 - Mat talks about how Columbia embraces American Exceptionalism, and explains that early 20th-century America was filled with it. He uses MyPillow as an example of modern-day American Exceptionalism.
7:23 - Mat discusses the “flaws” of patriotism, saying that the more the person attaches themselves to their country, the more they identify as their country, saying it’s no different from religion, using America’s connection to Christianity as an example.
9:16 - Mat goes on to say that after Comstock rose to power, Columbia’s patriotism turned into “a crueler, more sinister version of it - nationalism.” He says that it’s where pride truly presents itself as one of the seven deadly sins - “which makes it very ironic when Christians also consider themselves as nationalists.” He fails to realize that Christianity doesn’t exist in Columbia. He also always equates nationalism to always mean white nationalism, when nationalism is a spectrum.
10:02 - After saying that nationalism in this case meant American values were the only acceptable ideology in Columbia, Mat says that it comes with the more “toxic” aspects - capitalism and systemic racism. Here, he argues that with capitalism, only the upper class can have the best quality of life, and that with systemic racism, non-whites are used to entertain and serve. He fails to realize that this is 1912, not present-day.
11:39 - When talking about the Vox Populi, Mat says that they also use violence, and go too far for “the average anarchist.” What is the average anarchist, Mat?
12:18 - Mat says that Comstock later portrays himself as the only mortal being people can trust, thus turning the nationalism into cultism.
14:00 - Mat then talks about the “For God And Country” mural, claiming that it is the “visual representation of the mentality of a nationalist in the US.” He then brings up how it’s supposed to be a satire, but also shows that conservative groups presented it on their social media pages without knowing where it came from. In reality, it was just one group.
14:49 - Mat brings up the first Bioshock and how it was an allegory for Ayn Rand’s philosophy. He then calls her the “dumbest human being that ever lived.” So Mat, you’re against laissez-faire capitalism? Individual rights? Private property rights?
15:56 - “This can only happen in a video game? This can only happen in 1912, right?” Mat then uses various B-roll footage of things like COVID protests, Charlottesville, and Trump rallies, saying that Republicans are looking more cult-like, reactionary, and bigoted as a result of nationalism, once again failing to see that not all nationalism is white nationalism. Not to mention he generalizes all of them as Christians.
19:24 - Mat claims the game made a lot of conservatives upset, but that it also made liberals upset for using the Vox Populi as saying that both sides are bad, failing to see that the Vox Populi are indeed, equally as bad. He then says, “Because as we all know, there is almost nothing politically worse than a centrist.”

In the comments, Mat urges people to vote to stop Trump, says that he looks down upon people that tell him to “stop talking about politics,” and after Biden won, pinned a celebratory comment.
More General Spergery
This section is for some miscellaneous things of note that don’t really fit in any other section.
In Mat’s review of Alice Through the Looking Glass, a running gag he made throughout was that various strange things would happen to him every time he would reappear on screen. And he thought it would be a good idea to get naked on screen when a good chunk of his audience is likely children.
Speaking of naked Mat, he also once had an Anime Dakimakura Body Pillows sponsorship video in which he was shirtless for part of it.
In one episode of his podcast he lambasted a fan for presumably speaking positively of anti-SJW channel Clownfish TV.
Coincidentally, Geeky Sparkles, one of the hosts of Clownfish TV, would reply to a gimmick Twitter account which posted a tweet of Mat’s which stated that them and a couple other channels push a white nationalist agenda.
And of course, he celebrated the “downfall” of Kiwi Farms when ol’ Lukey boy and No-Dong Jones took us down for like five minutes. He used the usual buzzwords, such as “stalker,” “harassment,” “white nationalist,” and “Nazi.” He also said our goal is “ethnic cleansing.” LOL. LMAO even.
“Mainstream” Attention
Surprisingly, Mat had a few moments of recognition outside of YouTube.
His first notable one was a TV spot on Chinese-government funded (because of course) news network CGTN America in which he was interviewed about how Frozen became a massive franchise. He is referred to as an “animation historian” and “film critic.”
He was also interviewed in a Wall Street Journal article about Pinocchio.

Mat has also had a few voice acting gigs, including one from an animated film called “Treasure Fellowship” in which he voiced a donkey character named Bluey and was the trailer announcer, as well as in a yet-to-be-released film called “The Heart of Them.” His voice is not present in the latter trailer.
Mat even had a few live action gigs, albeit as extras, in CBS’ Ghosts, Transplant, and Sweet as Maple Syrup.
