hiiii MallPups!! (don't worry smallbats i'm gonna alternate between the two cuz that's incredibly on brand for me) I wrote a few words while reflecting on the past three years and wanted to share with you. I started using the alias "MallBat" three years ago after graduating from film school. I spent most of my time making experimental diary films only to realize within the last semester my true passion lied in animation; the thing that got me interested in filmmaking 14 years prior. I was an aimless and dysphoric 22 year old with nothing but a piece of paper that says I know how to make movies. Yippee... The only thing I was confident in was my love for film and the joy that making cartoons brought me. My name no longer felt right and I hated seeing it in the credits of films. "MallBat" served as a way for me to continue my passion all while maintaining anonymity. Three years, 24 short films, and three EPs later I sit here proud of not only the art I've created, but also the person I've become. I no longer use MallBat as a shield of anonymity. I am MallBat and MallBat is me. In many ways it was the first label that really suited me. It gave me the confidence to express myself authentically, long before I ever went by Jesse. I've learned so much and met so many wonderful people as MallBat, and I'm grateful for that everyday. I can't help but feel something profound in the fact that I was once 12 years old, secretly trying on girls clothes and making brickfilms on KZfaq under the alias LaserHouseProductions. I grew up and threw all that away, disregarding it as sinful, childish, and a waste of my time. 13 years later, I've realized that 12 year old knew what was right all along. Making dumb little cartoons and being a girl is who I am and I wouldn't have it any other way. Thanks for reading this. Thanks for watching my movies. And thanks to all the beautiful people who have supported me these past three years. You have my undying gratitude. Love, MallBat

malbat upload, turn up pups

I can’t believe it’s been three years since MallBat invented autism ❤

I was introduced to your videos through How To Give Yourself A Name and then watched other videos like Paint The Town. I fell in love with your artstyle and although I wouldn’t consider myself an active viewer, I always made sure to catch up every now and then to see if there’s anything new that catches my attention. This is my first time catching an upload this early, and it just happens to be an anniversary. Keep up the good work!

hello, i may be a new viewer, but i’ve been so in love with your style and music and humor and animation. i have loved seeing new videos of yours pop up, and seeing your older ones. i joined in when you posted your video about picking names, but i’ll stay here for the long run.. and i think i speak for all of us when i say, We’re proud of you Jesse, keep being you!🩵🖤🩵🌺✨

Regardless of being a mallpup or a smallbat I hope to see 3 more years!

Happy 3 year anniversary to the funny sometimes-awkward always-a-treat animator person

Happy birthday women 🎉🎉

I first found your channel from the "How To Give Yourself A Name" video and I've generally loved the vibe. I've always felt drawn to weird indie art and that "earnest rough around the edges" aesthetic. What's been new for me is discovering a nonbinary identity around Fall of 2022 and finding the general queer community to be really neat. It's been super cool to see a meeting point between these important spaces for my life in your work and I hope you continue to have fun making what you love.

I love that even the little surveillance droid is invited to the birthday party

being a "Mallpup" is honestly one of the greatest titles i could ever recieve. No joke, no exaggeration, thats so freaking awesome.

Your animations feel like home and your music is phenomenal. I’m so glad I know you exist Thank you for being unapologetically you, MallBat

Ive only found mallbat this year, but its great to see her progress and thats shes been able to do this for three years, super impressive

Happy 3 year anniversary and hopefully there will be many more cool projects awaiting for you. Thanks for being there and sharing your creativity with us.
