Wholesome Holiday Content

Our last podcast of the year is now live over on Skwigly (or basically anywhere you get your podcasts). In this episode we're joined by Liane-Cho Han and Maïlys Vallade, co-directors/writers of the celebrated animated feature Little Amélie or the Character of Rain. Stream below or download here.

Also discussed: The launch of Skwigly pal Gareth Cavanagh's Square Window podcast, The Simpsons x Fortnite crossover and the cursed history of Simpsons video game tie-ins, Mike Judge’s laudable reboots of King of the Hill and Beavis and Butt-Head, recent festival funtimes at Encounters, Overlap, MAF and LIAF and we preview the year’s animated holiday specials. We also review Michel Gondry’s Maya, Give Me a Title, Common Side Effects, Smiling Friends and Beryl, the new book from Joanna Quinn and Les Mills.

On a fittingly seasonal note, a new animated take on Lucy Cousins's My Friend Maisy has launched this month on Sky. I had a lovely time working on this a couple months' back at Bristol's A Productions. So if you're in a snowy mood, check it out on Sky Go

Update 05/01/26 - the full launch episode Snowy Day is now up on their official YouTube channel:
