Thanks for the ping! There are a few competing names for it right now -- we've seen "stylized CGI" and "stylized 3D" in the last few years. Another name we like, used by the animation writer canmom (who's on Tumblr rather than Substack), is "non-photorealistic": https://canmom.tumblr.com/post/761710559257378816/animation-night-189-nonphotorealistic

Ooh will check that out! So exciting to see so much variety out there, but all following a common human-touch approach.

What a jam! Thanks for the tune that perfectly accompanied my sleepy Thursday afternoon.

I've seen a trailer for The Wild Robot a while ago but I couldn't really tell you anything about it, other than I clocked that it looked absolutely beautiful so I'm glad to hear it's worth a watch :)

When did you write for MacUser? Maybe I’ve encountered you without realizing you’re you 🤔

Feels like a lifetime ago! 2012 right up until the end in 2016.

And just discovered that the UK and US MacUser were not linked.

That *is* a long time ago… but not as long ago as I last looked at an issue: the 90s 😁
