Allister's and Aaron's Movie: The Legend of the Cursed Paintbrush

Allister's and Aaron's Movie: The Legend of the Cursed Paintbrush (known as  Down and Dirty: Aaron and Onion in Japan) is a 2025 adult-animated dark comedy-war film based off the popular parody YouTube channel SAAF5 (meaning SuperAllisterAaronFan5), which was also based off various properties including The Mitchells vs. The Machines, Pokemon, Super Mario Bros, Puyo Puyo, World's End Club and Danganronpa, according to its director, the film was made to mock adult animation similar to Sausage Party, Down and Dirty Duck and Fritz the Cat as well as gory animated productions like Invincible and Happy Tree Friends. The film premiered in Japan on November 19th, 2025 and was released a week later in Latin America and USA, it was later released internationally next year.

The film was originally intended to be similar to SMG4’s 10th Anniversary Movie Special as SAAF5 was inspired by the aforementioneed channel, but had a 111 minute long fluently animated sequence added into the originally 61 minute GMod film, at 172 minutes, it’s one of the longest animated films of all time.

The film stars Michael Rianda as Aaron Mitchell from The Mitchells vs The Machines and Casey Mongillo as Allister from Pokemon, as well as guest celebrities playing some NSFW artists' OC's that serve as main antagonists, including Mark Hamill as Shadman, Devon Bostick as CaptainKirb, Katy Perry as Zone-toons, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen as BonBon and ChuChu from Derpixon and Nicki Minaj as Blackwhiplash.

Despite the creator’s dislike for award shows and mixed reception for the film, the film won an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film, making it the first ever R-rated animated film to win the award, it was also nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature but lost.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The idea of making a fluently animated movie of an SMG4-esque channel is not a very good idea, as the use of children's characters in adult situations can mislead people into thinking the film is kid-friendly even though it actually isn't, as well as being the target of lawsuits because of it's use of copyrighted characters like Aaron Mitchell and Allister, plus it can be confusing to fans because of the very fluent animation that is used for a majority of the movie because the original channel used GMod models being flopped around.
 * 2) Despite this being a flaw with most parody films, the characters also behave very differently from their original selves, to the point it can get very awkward, for example Allister behaves completely the opposite as his original self, as instead of being a very shy, introverted yet friendly person, he's actually very cheerful and cartoony to the point many people have called him a Mickey Mouse wannabe, which is ironic since in one scene he even goes as far as to claim "I'm the next Mickey Mouse!"
 * 3) The film also takes inspiration from war movies like The Pianist and Hotel Rwanda (especially in scenes where Allister and Aaron are completely alone), which isn't a good idea since combining war with comedy is a total mismatch since one is meant to be emotional, and the other is obviously meant to be funny.
