Excited to see the third and final season of WondLa released soon. I had the privilege of mostly working on this last chapter alongside an incredible team at Skydance Animation and ICON. Can’t wait for audiences to experience where the story ends.

Apple TV+ Debuts Sneak Peek of the Final Season of ‘WondLa’ – Nerds That Geek

One particular truth that rings true and comes up often in the world of storytelling, is that every story has its end. Sometimes that ending comes in an abrupt manner, sometimes its unexpected, but...

Been watching Wondla and it's soo good! Love the worldbuilding here! Was nervous when New Attica was introduced because the first season was all she's the last human and i really wanted her to find a place in this new world but this season is going really nicely. #sarah'stvadventures

promotional picture of Wondla from apple tv. It shows Eva a brown human girl in the front. She's in a ball like object with two other humans. Around them are aliens, one bald blue alien with hairy eyebrows and a pronounced nose and the other a 6 legged orange friend big enough to ride on, who are tied up and look sad. There is also an alien moth in the background with sharp teeth.

Quiero felicitar a mis amigos Alfonso Caparrini y Ramón López Seco de Herrera por el estreno de NODE, su nuevo videojuego desarrollado en @unity.com para Playstation. Pude sumar mi grano de arena ayudándoles con la edición, musica/sonido y mix de este tráiler.

While I haven’t animated a shot in years, I still love sharing references and brainstorming ideas with animators—like on this shot from one of the Wondla episodes I was lucky to direct. It was a great experience working with the teams at Skydance and ICON Creative Studio.
