Season FIVE, Episode THREE! Before we get stuck in… Have you signed up for LTO COMMUNITY yet? It's our very occasional, non-spammy, actually-quite-useful newsletter packed with behind-the-scenes stories, first dibs on live show tickets, and the chance to suggest topics for our new LTO BRIEF episodes. SIGN UP HERE! (Go on… we're both waiting for you to do it… don't be a Wensleydale waffler!) And now, to this week's episode... Time for a cracking chat? We think so. Our special guest is the brilliant BEN WHITEHEAD – the talented actor and voice artist best known as the voice of Wallace in the beloved Wallace and Gromit films. Ben is a leading figure in the world of voice acting, having taken over the iconic role from Peter Sallis, with whom he worked closely before stepping into Wallace's well-loved shoes (and possibly slippers). His work continues to bring joy to audiences around the world through the timeless charm and humour of Aardman's creations. In this conversation, we talk to Ben about how he got started in voice work, what it was like working alongside Peter Sallis, and the unique process behind bringing animated characters to life. We also chat about the importance of seizing opportunities when they arise, his advice for aspiring voice actors—and, of course, that unforgettable trip to the Oscars. There's something delightfully British about this episode—it's equal parts heartwarming, hilarious, and just the right amount of bonkers. Featuring chats, comedy sketches, and plenty of lovely surprises, LTO truly is a pick-me-up in podcast form. We're chuffed to have you with us!

Episode 150 is another Fantasy/Animation podcast special, this time recorded live at the recent Annecy International Animation Film Festival back in June 2024, where Chris was invited to speak on a panel as part of the Annecy International Animation Film Market (MIFA). Created in 1960, Annecy is one of the most popular and prestigious events in the animation calendar, and stands today as an annual celebration of all things animation, from features and shorts to animated television, advertising, and student films. MIFA is the more industry-leaning arm of the festival, and a place where attendees can meet exhibitors, buyers, and investors, and make contact and discuss animation projects and productions with industry professionals. This episode features a recording of the Animation Without Borders: Navigating the Imperative of Global Appeal panel, moderated by Juliette Rogasik (founder and creative director of Story Critters) and featuring both Sarah Cox (Chief Creative Director at Aardman) and Peilin Chou (Producer at Netflix Animation). Listen as the panel offer their own perspectives on the cross-cultural challenges and opportunities faced by animation productions in reaching global audiences, and what it means to preserve cultural specificity and authenticity in light of increasing internationalisation. **Fantasy/Animation theme tune composed by Francisca Araujo** **As featured on Feedspot's 25 Best London Education Podcasts**

Juan Francisco Bellón comenta sin spoilers Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, la esperada nueva película de Aardman, que revive a los adorables protagonistas en una aventura cargada de humor, nostalgia y creatividad, y que llega a Netflix este 3 de enero. Nick Park, director de Aardman Animations y ganador de cuatro premios Óscar, y Merlin Crossingham, nominado a los Emmy, regresan con una nueva y épica aventura: ‘Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl'. En esta entrega, Gromit está preocupado por la excesiva dependencia que está desarrollando Wallace hacia sus inventos; preocupación que demuestra estar del todo justificada cuando Wallace crea un gnomo «inteligente» que parece tener voluntad propia. Cuando se descubre que una figura vengativa del pasado podría estar detrás de todo, Gromit tendrá que luchar contra fuerzas siniestras para salvar a su dueño y evitar que Wallace pierda la capacidad de inventar para siempre.

Heading to Aardman's studios in Bristol to see how the magic is made, Ali has (as you'll hear) the time of his life speaking to the likes of directors Nick Park and Merlin Crossingham, star Ben Whitehead and many of the other incredible people who work so hard to bring the cheese-loving icons of animation to our screens.

Wassail Wassail Wassail! Christmas is almost upon us, and we've got a gift of a guest for you this week: Barry Jenkins, AKA Mr. Moonlight. He chats to Simon about ‘Mufasa', the origin story for Simba's father and the long-awaited prequel to 2016's live action animation Lion King. When a flood washes the cub-Mufasa away from his homeland and parents, he finds himself an outsider in an altogether new territory—where he stumbles across young lion Taka and begins a life-changing new journey to becoming the King of the Pride Lands we all know and love. Simon asks the Oscar winning indie director how he ended up helming this huge Disney musical, and what he's learned from the four-year journey to its release. We'll hear Mark's take on ‘Mufasa' too, along with reviews of two more animation releases this week. We've got ‘Sonic 3', where the speedy blue hedgehog and friends face new adversary Shadow—and Aardman's Christmas gift to us all, the new Wallace & Gromit adventure ‘Vengeance Most Fowl'. The nation's favourite plasticine pair are up against their old glove-headed adversary Feathers McGraw in this noirish stop-motion treat. You can hear Mark and Simon in conversation with co-directors Nick Park and Merlin Crossingham in last week's episode, recorded live at our Christmas Spectacular. Plus one more review of ‘Alien Onstage'—a gloriously oddball documentary about a group of Dorset bus drivers creating a theatrical version of the 1979 sci-fi film classic. We absolutely promise this is the wholesome if slightly madcap holiday viewing you didn't know you needed—but you really, really do.

Director Simon Otto is here to chat failed Christmas gifts, formative films, and finding the balance of a multithreaded storyline story and having to take into account theatrical experience versus streaming consumption. This interview contains mild spoilers for That Christmas. More about Simon Otto Simon Otto is the Director of That Christmas. He started his directing career on the Netflix animated series Dragons: Race to the Edge and Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia. Most recently, he directed the Love, Death & Robots episode ‘The Tall Grass' and developed, executive produced and served as the Supervising Director on the successful Netflix series, A Tale Dark & Grimm. Prior to turning to directing, he spent over 20 years working at DreamWorks Animation, most notably as the Head of Character Animation on the Oscar-nominated How to Train Your Dragon trilogy. In that role, Simon oversaw the character animation and was instrumental in designing and developing the look of the characters, their personalities, and the overall style of the animation, while also working in the story department as a story artist. He first joined DreamWorks in 1997 to work on the groundbreaking The Prince of Egypt and worked as a Supervising Animator both in hand-drawn and CG animation on many of the studio's features including, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron and the Aardman co-production Flushed Away. Born and raised in Switzerland, Simon studied animation at the prestigious Les Gobelins Animation School in Paris, France. More about That Christmas Based on the charming trilogy of children's books by beloved multi award-winning writer/director Richard Curtis (FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL, NOTTING HILL, LOVE ACTUALLY, YESTERDAY), THAT CHRISTMAS follows a series of entwined tales about family and friends, love and loneliness, and Santa Claus making a big mistake, not to mention an enormous number of turkeys! This heartwarming comedy from Locksmith Animation marks Curtis' first foray into animation, serving as the film's writer and executive producer, and also the feature directorial debut of renowned animation veteran Simon Otto (LOVE, DEATH & ROBOTS, HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON FILMS). Nicole P. Hearon (MOANA, FROZEN) and Adam Tandy (THE THICK OF IT, DETECTORISTS) are producers.

Mikey has created and directed myriad, beautiful animation projects and has now entered the world of children's picture books with his gorgeous debut 'The Cafe At The Edge Of The Woods' which we discuss, along with his work with Aardman, his views on AI and our current favourite books.

This week, Michael, Jake and Steph are back with a new miniseries charting the career of animation legend Nick Park and his work at the peerless plasticine-powered studio, Aardman Animations. To start, we look at his Oscar-winning first film, the chatty zoo-themed mockumentary Creature Comforts (1989), which was his first directorial credit for Aardman after contributing to projects such as the era-defining music video for Peter Gabriel's 'Sledgehammer', and while slowly working in the background on his long-gestating student project, A Grand Day Out (more on that next week!).Subscribe to our Patreon for ad-free episodes and bonus conversations in our Library Cafe series.Follow us on Twitter or Instagram, or drop us an email at ghibliotheque@gmail.com.

On episode 258 of The AwardsWatch Podcast, Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade and Associate Editor Sophia Ciminello talk about the Gotham Awards nominations, the world premieres of AFI FEST 2024 and two films we saw outside of the festival that will be in the Oscar race. Always considered the kickoff of awards season, the Gotham Awards nominations were revealed this week and without too much surprise Sean Baker's Anora led with four nods: Best Feature, Best Director, Outstanding Lead Performance (Mikey Madison) and Outstanding Supporting Performance (Yura Borisnov). Next up with three apiece were RaMell Ross's Nickel Boys (Best Feature, Best Director, Breakthrough Performer – Brandon Wilson) and Jane Schoenbrun's I Saw the TV Glow (Best Director, Outstanding Lead Performance – Justice Smith, Outstanding Supporting Performance – Brigette Lundy-Paine). We break down these nominations, the surprises (Challengers in Best Feature as its only nod, The Brutalist missing there) and snubs (notably, Joan Chen) and everything in between. See full list of nominations here. Then we head over to the AFI FEST 2024, which just ended last weekend, to talk about the world premieres of the fest: Music by John Williams (review), Robert Zemeckis's Here (review), Clint Eastwood's Juror #2 (review) and the new Aardman Animation film Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl. It's a pretty spirited conversation as the film from two directing giants are among our least favorite films of the year, but then buoyed by the joy and fun of the new Aardman. Conversely, we venture into two films that we loved and saw outside of the festival last week, Halina Reijn's Babygirl, starring Nicole Kidman and Harris Dickinson, and Ridley Scott's return to the Colosseum with Gladiator II, starring Paul Mescal and Denzel Washington. You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 58m. We will be back next week for a retrospective of the 87th Academy Awards, covering the films of 2014. Till then, let's get into it.
