Thanks to Animation World Network we learned about The Last Dodo, a CGI adventure comedy film that’s just going into production. It comes to us from Studio 100, the same folks who brought us The Amazing Maurice animated film a couple years ago. “The feature, co-produced by Cheeky Little Media and Cantilever Media, is set in 1628 London and follows Dave the Dodo, the last of his kind. With the help of the streetwise rat Eggy, he must overcome his fear of flying to survive. The co-production is led by Patrick Egerton, Andrew Baker, and Carys Rowan. Jun Falkenstein directs from a script by Simon Dodd and Tristan Dodd.” No word yet on who’s in the cast, but it’s already set for release in 2027.  Here’s hoping that includes North America!

Listen up! Cartoon Brew just broke the news that Rebecca Sugar, creator and show-runner of the iconic Steven Universe TV series, is set to direct an upcoming animated feature film based on the world-famous Moomin comics created by Finnish author and artist Tove Jansson. The Moomin trolls and their friends have been adapted for animation numerous times over the decades, but this will be the first production created in the U.S.A. It’s all thanks to Annapurna Animation — yes, the very folks who rescued Nimona and finally brought it to Netflix. (More interesting news: Annapurna’s also hard at work on an animated adaptation of the feline video game Stray. We’ll be following that story too!) Nothing yet on the plot or voice actors, but word is that the filmmakers hope to finish in 2027.

What Are YOU Doing In Your Spare Time…?

Recently on Cartoon Brew we stumbled across an article about a new animated short film called Forevergreen — created by Disney Story vet Jeremy Spears and Disney animator Nathan Engelhardt, literally in their off hours… along with something like 200 friends volunteering their time. A CGI film, Forevergreen is specially crafted to look like one of Jeremy Spears’ passions, wood carving. “In the film, an orphaned bear cub is taken in by a fatherly tree. As the mischievous cub grows up, his attention wanders, and a hunger for trash leads to big trouble.” The article features an interview with Jeremy, lots of behind-the-scenes development art, and a special preview clip as well.

They’re All Good Furries

Recently the annual Good Furry Awards were presented at Another Furry Con in Ontario, California. Hosted by Grubbs Grizzly (the Ask Papabear fella!), the awards celebrate individuals and groups who demonstrate “outstanding spirit in the furry community” — as selected and voted on by the furry fans themselves! This year the Good Egg Award (for charitable and volunteer work) went to Yappy Slyfox, who not only helped to create Megaplex and the Funday Pawpet Show but also performs as a puppeteer for Give Kids The World (an organization that helps out children with life-threatening illnesses). The Image Award (for presenting a positive image of the fandom through various media media) went to Digging Up Positivity, a regular video show (hosted by Thabo Meerkat) about furry fans helping out with charities around the world. The Furtastic Award (for all-around Good Furries in several categories) went to Photographotter, who went above and beyond the call of duty by offering to donate a kidney to his best friend from VR Chat, halfway around the world. (The whole story was portrayed in The Reality of Hope, an excellent documentary short directed by Joe Hunting. Look for it!) And finally, the Lifetime Achievement Award went to Ken Fletcher, co-creator of the fanzine Vootie and the Spontoon Island shared universe — and a dedicated supporter of “funny animal” art from before there was a fandom! Congratulations to all the winners and nominees! Visit the Good Furry Awards web site to find out more — and remember to vote for them again in 2026!

Things a Cat Wasn’t Meant to Know

Look, we don’t know where this came from either — but here it is! Mutant Cats, the graphic novel. “Mutant Labs is your typical science lab. They do work on rockets, gene splicing, finding cures, and you know…inter-dimensional energy type stuff. The company is currently working on their potentially biggest breakthrough yet: a renewable energy device strong enough to power an entire city block, but small enough to fit into the palm of your paw: about the size of a ball of yarn, and comprised of a powerful synthetic thread that draws power from alternate planes of existence. It’s complicated, but it works, trust us. So what’s this great innovation called? Mutant Labs are currently calling it: The Cluster. But with all great inventions, hubris is always a problem. The Mutant Labs higher-ups want the Cluster ready for market “yesterday”, forcing project leader Flux and his team of idiot geniuses to scramble and cut some corners to get it working in time for the big event. But taking shortcuts can be dangerous when you’re working with that inter-dimensional energy type stuff. With realities overlapping, we’ve now entered the Mutantverse. And let me tell you, it’s a real cluster fu@%.” What we do know is it was written by Matthew Medney and Morgan Rosenblum, with illustration by Alex Arizmendi. And it’s available now from Gungnir.

More furry graphic novels for young readers: This time it’s the Duck and Moose series by writer and artist Kirk Reedstrom. First up is Duck Moves In! “Moose loves peace and quiet, relaxing, living alone, and spring! He can’t wait for the arrival of sun, flowers, and… a new neighbor?! Duck just landed himself a new home. He loves parties, karaoke, and living with — and on — Moose’s head. Moose tries everything he can to send Duck away, but he soon finds that this persistent neighbor might just be the best thing spring could bring.” All this and more (like Moose Blasts Off!) are available now from Penguin Random House.

Recently we came across the Haru series of graphic novels, written and illustrated by Joe Latham. First up is Spring: “In The Valley, best friends Haru (a small bird) and Yama (a talkative boar) both dream of leaving as they’re bullied at school, frustrated at home, and struggling to figure out who they are. One day, a powerful artifact connects itself to Yama, and they discover that they’ll have to journey to The Beacon in search of answers.” More issues have followed — and all of them are available now from Simon & Schuster.

Yep, there are still new My Little Pony items turning up, especially for fans of the G5 series. Here’s one we missed, but it’s still out there for you to find — it’s the My Little Pony: Mane Event one-shot comic from IDW. “First, Pipp dragonsitting Sparky becomes a hairy situation when she mixes up her mane products and Sparky grows some luscious locks. Then, Zipp and Hitch split hairs about the best morning mane-care routines. Finally, Izzy is having a hair-raisingly bad mane day and decides a wash day is just what the curls need.” Available still from IDW, with a variety of covers from some of your favorite Pony artists.
