Pixels in Motion: The Minecraft Netflix Series

Welcome to Realm News Flash with The Dark Lord! This week, we explore the Netflix Minecraft Animated Series, announced last May for Minecraft’s 15th Anniversary. Despite initial excitement, updates have been limited. Learn about the collaboration between Netflix, Mojang Studios, and WildBrain, the CG-animation company. We’ll discuss what’s known and anticipate more at the Annecy Festival’s MIFA event on June 12th, featuring Netflix’s “Animated Series Studio Focus.”

Also, catch a sneak peek of our next episode, “The Overworld Hoe and the Sarculum,” airing this Thursday. It delves into the historical significance of the hoe, both in reality and Minecraft, with insights into Roman agricultural tools.
