How about a creepy scary horror short with heart for Halloween? "La Noria" by animator Carlos Baena of Pixar and ILM. It's really good
ハロウィンにぴったりの、心温まる不気味で怖いホラー短編はいかがでしょうか？ピクサーとILMのアニメーター、カルロス・バエナによる「ラ・ノリア」。とても素晴らしい作品です。字幕は必要ありません。

On Halloween six years ago, La Noria was released. A short film that remains deeply personal to me. It was the film that made me leave behind the safety of Pixar twelve years ago and take a leap into the unknown. Every year, around this time, I’m reminded why that decision continues to feel right.

Sept 8th is Star Trek Day! Star Trek has been, and always shall be, the most important creative work in my life. It has brought me so much joy. I took 10 mins to re-watch 765874 Unification and it hit me just as powerfully as the first time. Happy Star Trek Day everyone! youtu.be/mgOZFny7F50?...

Excited to see the third and final season of WondLa released soon. I had the privilege of mostly working on this last chapter alongside an incredible team at Skydance Animation and ICON. Can’t wait for audiences to experience where the story ends.

Been watching Wondla and it's soo good! Love the worldbuilding here! Was nervous when New Attica was introduced because the first season was all she's the last human and i really wanted her to find a place in this new world but this season is going really nicely. #sarah'stvadventures
