8 years after it was made, and 3 years after it was uploaded on youtube for all to see, our film Cows With Guns has reached 1 million views. The film seems to remain an audience favourite, despite the relatively dodgy animation we did back in high school. We put it down to the fact that it's just such a great song.

We have just commenced shooting our new short film "My Neighbourhood has been overrun by Baboons". After months of pre-production, including making a whole gang of baboons and a huge neighbourhood set for them to wreak havoc on, we are now starting to bring them alive through the magic of stop-motion animation. The film is due to be finished by mid December with its premiere early in the new year. Stay tuned to the GooRoo website for more news and sneak peaks of what's to come.

We have just created a short clip for a new show "Tektime" coming soon to channel 7 in November. The clip will be played during the Guitar Hero episode.

Check out the Tektime website. Details on the show will be available shortly.

GooRoo Animation have been selected as one of the two teams in this year's Animation Initiative run by the Media Resource Centre in Adelaide. We will be given funding and support to complete a short stop-motion animated film.

GooRoo Animation last worked together with The Dairy Brothers five years ago, creating a film clip to their song "Never gonna be a Star".

Animal Instincts has been selected to screen as part of Spike and Mike's Festival of Animation World Tour 2009.

This year's tour takes the festival to France to screen as part of the world's biggest animation festival, The Annecy International Animated Film Festival, in June.
