I really wish that Paramount had gone with this team instead of who they chose for the Very Short Treks. They are top notch and deserve the recognition.

Gazelle Automations did these two pieces as love letter to the franchise and to an earlier animation style, while their own work tends to be a mix of puppetry, animatronics and animation. From interviews, it’s clear that they have a true appreciation for the challenges the Filmation animators faced in the 70s.

They’re doing some great, award-winning work for TVOKids (Miikshi) and CBCKids (Go Togo coming this fall). They also recreated key Thunderbirds marionettes for BBC specials.

I’m super curious to see their new SPACE BAO project in development - A space otter, a talking refrigerator and the all-powerful space bao (steamed).

I’ve been enjoying the #AmazonPrime #Canadian documentary ‘#MrDressup : The Magic of Make-Believe’ about the work of the wonderful Ernie Coombs on #CBCkids #television.

From the story of puppets Casey & Finnegan, to the #Tickletrunk it’s all there, w/ observations from those who grew up with the show.

For Americans who value the work of #MrRogersNeighbourhood, this documentary also covers how #MrRogers’ show debuted from Toronto on #CBC in the mid #1960s.
