One last update from us before the year closes. We've been wrapping things up for the Christmas break in the studio and getting ready for the cosy holiday season.
Featured Project
Neurodiversity Assessment Support
Working with Leicestershire NHS Partnership Trust we recently created 3 films for young people waiting for a neurodiversity assessment. Accessible through Autism Space and Health for Teens these films provide advice on what to expect from an assessment, how to understand social situations and maintaining friendships.

Award Nomination
In November we attended the Royal Television Society Midlands Awards in Birmingham. We were nominated for Best Animation with our BBC Bitesize Early Years song 'Marcia the Manatee's Underwater Dance'. We didn't win but it was amazing to have been included in the nominations and see our dancing characters up on the big screen. Big congrats to all the winners!
Throwback
Nursery Rhymes
Looking for something to entertain the little ones over the Christmas break then we can vouch these nursery rhymes we created for BBC Teach are a big hit. Our little one loves to sing along with all the cute animals - the Muffin Man being a favourite.
From the Binos
We've had a busy quarter with trips to Manchester Animation Festival and the local Leicester Business Festival. Here are some useful things we've spotted recently.

Playful Tips!
Love the tips and advice Formplay Studio are putting out on their socials. The animations are great as well! My favourite is their Manifesto to Play with a great reminder on how to be more playful within your work practice.
Let's get cosy!

The UK produces timeless Christmas animations every year and this year is no different. There is lots to look forward to, even more so now we have a little Bino to enjoy them with. This year we have Channel 4's Mog the Cat, BBC One & Magic Light Pictures Tabby McTat, and CBBC's Quentin Blake’s Box of Treasures.
