On March 5, a fresh post on Tim Minchin.s blog offered an ominous introduction to the man himself:.
.Composer and lyricist of musicals Groundhog Day and Matilda, Tim is also a pianist, singer, comedian, actor, and — until 2 days ago — a director..
In a personal message, Minchin went on: .I.ve recently been working in three different continents, missing my kids a lot, sleeping too little and not playing piano enough.

That film was Larrikins, the outback-set feature Minchin joined as composer and lyricist in 2013 after sparking to a script from Harry Cripps (Paws, The Magic Pudding)..

Here’s a battle we can all get behind.
This week, zoos across America took part in an adorable animal showdown on Twitter, where each zoo tried to one up the next by tweeting out increasingly precious photos of their residents.
No zoo was declared the winner, instead the entire world was declared the winner, because there is no arguing with adorable animals.
The online war started off simple and sweet, with the National Zoo announcing the arrival of a grey seal pup, complete with aww-inducing photo.
We welcomed a gray seal pup Jan. 21. The pup appears to be nursing,...

At Screen Australia's Family Film Forum at Sydney's Uts, screenwriter Harry Cripps discussed writing feature animation Larrikins for Dreamworks.
The studio was looking for an Australian story - to do for Australia what Kung Fu Panda.had done for China, according to Cripps.
The scribe came onboard after six of his pilot scipts for the American marketplace had gone nowhere.
Cripps started work on Larrikins in 2011. The film's third in-progress screening will take place in June, and the finished product will be released in 2018.
In the video above, he talks about his writing approach, his early experiences in the Australian film industry on features such as Paws, and the pitching system that exists in the American system - which has "nothing to do with how good a writer you are".
Cripps discusses his work on Kung Fu Panda 3, which was brief and left him in tears, and teases what we can expect in Larrikins.

The erstwhile “Berke” Breathed, who at some point in the last two decades learned what a “berk” was in British slang and decided to extend his professional name, presents one of the most interesting and stark success stories in the history of modern American strip comics: he lept to fame with Bloom County, almost from the moment it launched in 1980. [1] And then he ended that strip in mid-1989 (cementing its role as the quintessentially ’80s strip, for anyone with an axe to grind about that decade), partly for creative reasons and partly for overwork issues, to work on a spin-off, Outland, that never had the wide appeal or impact of its parent, even as it got more Bloom County-ish as it went along.
Every other major strip cartoonist before Breathed had a different reaction to success, creative unrest, and pressures of work: they all corporatized, bringing on gagmen and inkers...
