Guillermo del Toro and Netflix have announced plans to form a new stop motion studio that will be both a studio and a school to push the medium forward and will develop plans to make Del Toro's next stop motion project after Pinocchio. I'm very hyped to see what this leads to!

Most fun I’ve had in ages! Flew to Seattle today just to see Model/Actriz. Literally had planned to do cardio training just to prepare for maximum mosh pit stamina.
