Back in the studio after a lovely trip to Italy with @shaunthesheep and my fellow director Rich Phelan. We screened some exclusive film clips to over twelve hundred kids, followed by a Q&A! 🤪#Giffoni2019 #BehindtheScenes #animation #FarmageddonMovie

Who can resist a new baby? Even they're a bit smelly and slurpy and burpy and noisy ... they are GORGEOUS all the same.
