Definitely recommend The Wild Robot for any 3D animation fans. Perfectly executed, looks gorgeous, and technically brilliant.

The team at Dreamworks should be very proud

Best panel I attended at #sxswsydney was this great session sharing trauma on the state of games dev in Aus. But in a good, positive way - look it in the face to make it better. Starring @chloeappleby.bsky.social @barmearme.bsky.social and Dr Jaime Garcia, Ally McLean-Hennessy, and Lauren Szmandiuk.
