Gorillaz have released their new animated short film ‘THE MOUNTAIN, THE MOON CAVE AND THE SAD GOD’ “In a time of Al overload, this is our love letter to craftsmanship. We're chasing the feel of pencil on paper.” 🔗: youtu.be/ucRulNQsuYQ?si=4rGC…

IT’S OUT! Head over to the Gorillaz YouTube channel now (link in bio) to watch the full film. This film is a true love letter to the golden era of 2D animation. We worked incredibly hard alongside Jamie Hewlett to make it as period-accurate as possible and, like all our projects, it was hand-drawn by an incredible team of artists. We even used a variety of practical effects in the film, which was a lot of fun to do. We had a brilliant time making this film and learnt a huge amount while studying the masters of the 60s and 70s. If you’ve been following the release of The Mountain, you know how special and meaningful this project is. We’re so proud to be a part of it and want to say a massive thank you to Jamie and Eleven Management for trusting us to tell this beautiful story. We couldn’t be prouder of the work we did together, and we're so happy to be sharing it with the world! #Gorillaz #THELINE #TheMountain

I was so touched by all the kind messages I received yesterday. It has given me a lot of encouragement for what will now be a big swing: My next animated project will be the first episode of a gothic horror interpretation of the Nutcracker called "Clara and the Below."

We Lost Our Human being removed will be a huge loss. It's probably the closest thing to Pibby that ever got made, with an interesting apocalypse story, animals heroes, robots and a few crossover cameos.

✏️Today is DAY ONE of negotiations between TAG & the AMPTP! Too often, studios pressure storyboard artists to do work which is FAR beyond their defined duties - tasked with many jobs, but only getting paid for one! They deserve fair compensation & workload! #StoryCraftUnite
