I put together Wondla mashup below for fun, inspired by one of my favorite music tracks from gifted Wondla composer and friend @joyngiaw.bsky.social. The track is a sneak peak from the Season 3 album which is released next week as well. Enjoy it and go watch the show.

How about a creepy scary horror short with heart for Halloween? "La Noria" by animator Carlos Baena of Pixar and ILM. It's really good
ハロウィンにぴったりの、心温まる不気味で怖いホラー短編はいかがでしょうか？ピクサーとILMのアニメーター、カルロス・バエナによる「ラ・ノリア」。とても素晴らしい作品です。字幕は必要ありません。

On Halloween six years ago, La Noria was released. A short film that remains deeply personal to me. It was the film that made me leave behind the safety of Pixar twelve years ago and take a leap into the unknown. Every year, around this time, I’m reminded why that decision continues to feel right.
