Is Mixtape a “real game”? Honestly, who cares; we love this coming-of-age story set in the 90s from Beethoven and Dinosaur, through Annapurna Interactive. It's quick, it's robust, and it's memorable, and that's what we're after from narrative-focused experiences like this. Snackaroo is advanced Snap by way of Aardman, for up to 5 players, and while it's a children's game for sure, it's got enough meat in the bun for the parents of those kids too. It's from Rudi Biber and Ravensburger, and we really like it. Plus the wood glue is out for a QoL project to make a complex setup more simple, with the Descent 2nd Edition organiser from The Game Doctors, via Feldherr. All that, and being famous for five minutes on r/CasualUK, on Ep249. 00:00 - Getting Creami with ninjas 09:47 - Snackaroo 22:00 - Kris's house is famous 25:15 - Mixtape 49:44 - Getting sticky with The Game Doctors on Feldherr On this episode were Kris (@DigitalStrider), Peter (@XeroXeroXero), and Sam (@MrSamTurner).

Hola, Sneakers! Welcome to Sneaky Dragon – the podcast that invented continuity errors. This week: live forever; I’m an adult now; the worm turns; Spirit take; up and Atom; devil, devil; bible studies; the gods must be crazy; holy Moses; space is the place; the define one; fiddling while Rome earns; guilt furnishings; you are that temple; continuity eras; service issues; Mr. Crab; CBC and me; Switchback in the day; free content; bad connections; inclusive offer; teach your children; you gotta fight for your right to arty; the path to success; louts and fops; Question of the Week – Sneakers respond; Jaws jabber; museum quality; cut it out; theSnyder cult; religious experience; Kelly girl; Baltimore ravin’; tracks of my tears; and, finally, Sparks! marks. Question of the Week: Where do you find a good sense of community?Sub-question of the Week: Do you pray? Thanks for listening. The opening for Vision On, which contains some early Aardman animation: The inspiration for Switchback, which Ian talks about on his new podcast CBC & Me: To actually see the Anthony Edwards’ impersonation of Princess Diana, you’ll have to follow this link to an Instagram reel. A video of Jordan Peterson frustrating a bunch of know-it-alls like a jerk (AKA the Dunning-Kruger Effect run rampant): And one more Princess Di sketch from SNL UK:

A long-awaited threequel to our episodes on Wallace & Gromit and legendary film Chicken Run, our discussion on the final DreamWorks & Aardman collaborative feature film Flushed Away feels somewhat bittersweet to Alex, resident Aardman enjoyer, who laments that perhaps the soul of the Aardman way is lost on this film's exclusively CGI production. But it's perhaps the opposite for Iris, who finds herself joining Marcus and Michael as a member of the awful-early-2000s-animated-movie-enjoyers on this episode, and to be completely honest there's quite a bit to praise about this box-office bomb: it's still got that trademark British humor, its voice cast is superb, the characters are refreshingly mature and intelligent as they navigate their issues, and the slugs perform an ingenious role in this film that Despicable Me's Minions will never come close to mimicking. Perhaps next time we'll be recording from the UK! Content warning: SPOILERS, strong language.

Presenting episode 120 of the Skwigly Animation Podcast! In this episode we welcome Ugo Bienvenu, who joins the podcast to discuss his film 'Arco', out this month in UK cinemas. Also discussed: The increasing sneakiness of AI creators passing their content off as animation, adult fandoms of popular children's shows, pleasing Oscar and BAFTA outcomes with wins for 'The Girl Who Cried Pearls' (Dir. Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski) and 'Two Black Boys in Paradise' (Dir. Baz Sells), Aardman‘s upcoming 'Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom', upcoming Cardiff Animation Festival highlights, the 'social experiment' of Konstantin Bronzit's Oscar-nominated short 'The Three Sisters' and we review the recent BBC series 'Small Prophets' featuring animation by Ainslie Henderson and Will Anderson.

Put down those crayons and close MS Paint - It Happened One Year is delving into the wildly inconsistent world of film animation in the Year 2000, and you are there! Listen as Sarah & Joe discuss films that range in quality from near cinematic perfection to virtually unwatchable in this barreling episode! The discussion largely centers on five (count 'em, five!) major theater releases - Dreamworks' The Road to El Dorado, Disney's Dinosaur and The Emperor's New Groove, Aardman's Chicken Run, and the Don Bluth space epic Titan A.E. Along the way, many curious production facts are explored, including the similarities between the South American pictures, the not-so-welcome influence of computer effects on these largely hand-drawn films, and the fact that you could still get two Whoppers for only $2 in 2000. Surprises abound!

Today's episode includes: •   Aardman released the trailer of Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom •   Disney released the trailer of Moana (2026) •   THQ Nordic announced Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 on October 6 •   The Bad Guys 2 editor sues DreamWorks Animation over anti-trans discrimination •   Afroman wins lawsuit against police that he mocked in his music videos

In this special live recording, my first ever, I'm joined by director, designer and relentless maker Gavin Strange (Director at Aardman Animations and creator of Jam Factory) for a joyful, honest and deeply inspiring conversation about creativity, consistency and carving out your own path. From building a 25-year personal project alongside a full-time creative career, to teaching himself electronics to build a life-sized virtual pinball machine, Gavin shares what it really looks like to stay creatively alive over decades; not just seasons. We talk about stop-frame animation, side projects, public speaking, learning in public, raising creative kids, and why it's not your employer's job to make you creatively fulfilled. If you've ever felt like you're "not the naturally talented one," or you're waiting for permission to start; this episode will give you the nudge you need. Key Takeaways If you don't get the opportunity; build your own version of it. When the door doesn't open, make something anyway. If you practise the thing before you're chosen for it, you'll already be ready when the moment comes. When you treat your side projects like a playground, you'll grow without fear. When you create a space where you can experiment, break things and try again, you remove the pressure; and that's where real growth happens. Repeating the work, builds strength. Creativity isn't about waiting for a breakthrough. It's about repetition. Do the work over and over; and one day you'll look back and realise you've built creative muscle you didn't know you had. When you take responsibility for your own creative fulfilment, you stop waiting. It's not your job, your clients or your industry's responsibility to keep you inspired. When you own your growth, you unlock momentum. If you protect your creativity with rhythm and routine, it will flourish. Even two hours in the evening, consistently, can change everything. Creative energy doesn't need endless time; it needs intention. When you stay curious, you stay alive. Falling down rabbit holes, learning new tools, trying something "unnecessary" is not distraction; that's how you stay creatively awake.   Episode Timestamps 03:48 – Live recording begins & Gavin's creative journey (Aardman + 25 years of Jam Factory) 08:41 – How stop-motion animation actually works (pre-production to post) 14:33 – Getting bored, long projects & taking responsibility for your creativity 17:54 – The origin of Jam Factory & learning in public 25:53 – Building a life-sized virtual pinball machine (and why side projects matter) 31:04 – Balancing creativity, family life & routine 36:20 – Public speaking, fear & putting yourself forward 44:43 – Generative AI, creative fear & what still excites him about animation   Mentioned in the Episode Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit Chicken Run Strange Kids Toys (creative project Gavin has with his son) OFFF Festival (creative conference mentioned) Signalnoise (James White)   About the Guest Gavin Strange is an award-winning Director and Designer for the UK's beloved creative studio Aardman.

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I chat with Andy Wilson, Senior Director at Dropbox, to explore how AI is quietly but fundamentally changing how we work. Andy offers a deep dive into Dropbox Dash, an AI-powered search and knowledge management tool designed to cut through digital noise and reclaim the one thing most professionals are running out of: time. We unpack how Dash is solving the growing problem of content sprawl by integrating with over 60 SaaS platforms, offering AI-driven answers instead of just links. Andy describes it best: the internet lets you search all of human knowledge, but good luck finding that one deck from last quarter in your company's Google Drive. Dash aims to fix that. And it's already doing so for teams like McLaren F1, who use the platform to coordinate high-stakes race weekends with precision and security. We also discuss how Dropbox is adopting AI internally, from the acquisition of Reclaim.ai to enhancing virtual-first collaboration with intelligent scheduling and governance tools. For Dropbox, AI isn't a novelty. It's becoming the backbone of how distributed teams work better together. Andy likens it to having a personalized chief of staff, helping you prioritize, organize, and even remind you when to take a break. Our conversation also touches on Andy's creative roots at the BBC and Aardman, and how those experiences shaped his product thinking today. He shares real examples of how Dropbox supports content creators and knowledge workers alike, including feedback tools like Dropbox Replay and user-generated storytelling workflows powered by simple file request features. If you're wrestling with digital overload, managing hybrid teams, or just wondering how AI can actually help without taking over, this episode is for you. Andy paints a grounded, human picture of the future of work, one where AI supports creativity and restores clarity, not chaos.
