Sheep'N'Wolves (WizArt Animation)

[Jules]

I mean, since a few forum members are getting particularly emotional about Wizart's The Snow Queen, and since information about that film is hard to come by, I thought I'd be a generous soul and inform you all that you will have a new Wizart film to look forward to after The Snow Queen comes and goes.

No need to thank me.

Dig in here.

Okay. A little bit too soon, but thanks.
