A small, dedicated team can transform an industry. Inspiration to motivate a cluster of animators!

Passion, talent and creativity can outshine massive budgets. Flow had a €3.5M budget, and was created using Blender, a free and open-source software.

Flow is the first Latvian movie to ever be nominated for and win the Oscar.

Directed by Gints Zilbalodis and produced by Dream Well Studio (a little room in Riga, Latvia), in co-production with Sacrebleu Productions (France) & Take Five (Belgium), “Flow” along with the Latvian Animation Association and the National Film Centre of Latvia.

Congratulations for the amazing success of "Flow". Possibly it's also the best silent movie too, not a single line of dialog but storytelling doesn't need words to be deeply moving.

Released 84 years ago today, audiences first stepped into Geppetto’s workshop and the adventures of a wooden puppet longing to be a real boy. Pinocchio, as Disney’s second feature film broke ground on new animation techniques that continue to influence modern productions.

Looking into the background of Samuel Goldwyn, of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, two things surprised me.
Firstly, despite his name being in the studio name, he didn't own a share in it. And secondly, most of his quotes are false.

Today's Chinese New Year marks the Year of the Wood Snake! Snakes often play villain roles in stories, like Kaa or Nagini.

But snakes aren't always evil. Master Viper in Kung Fu Panda 2 is a fan favourite, showcasing the snake's agility and wisdom. 1/10

Storm Eowyn has mostly passed over Ireland, but the lights are out for over 725,000 homes, farms, and businesses due to damage to the electricity network. Network connectivity and traffic are also down. Phone service is spotty in some areas. ESB warns it may take days to restore power. 1/6
