If you love Wallace and Gromit, and you're in Melbourne, well you need tickets to see Wallace and Gromit with a live brass band!

I saw it last year, and it was SO much fun. You get to watch A Grand Day Out on a big screen and have a fantastic band provide the soundtrack. It's fantastic and in an amazing venue. I'll be there!

The Midnight Walk: Audio-Visual Horror and a Glorious Score 👹

Here’s a glorious, rather artistically ambitious adventure game by indie game studio MoonHood in Gothenburg, Sweden. The Midnight Walk launched in May 2025 and was made entirely out of clay and is available on all consoles and PC.

The horror-driven antics where you befriend a lost lantern and work your way through a weirdly wonderful world of mist, monsters, and murk.

Scary Clary Stuff in The Midnight Walk

The most obvious thing here is it’s a lush adventure game with incredible claymation. MoonHood also brought in developers from Zoink, which involves Tunderful and Image & Form (both responsible for some of the best indie games out there).

And the result is mighty impressive, with adventure games often offering some of the most unique gaming experiences. Just look at The Many Pieces of Mr. Coo or Amanita Design’s Phonopolis to see where we’re at.

Midnight Walk is playfully nightmarish in its creative design, taking the Little Nightmares series approach to things. As in, it’s horror but in a subversive way where everything is also a bit adorable looking.

The core THRUST of the gameplay, though, is about dodging monsters and solving puzzles. It goes a little bit like this. You’ll see instantly how visually stunning it is.

Importantly, it’s also a great game. Excellent, even. It got somewhat mixed reviews from the gaming press, not least Eurogamer giving it 3/5. But IGN and NintendoLife handed over 9/10 reviews and we agree with them.

It’s a beautiful game. Haunting, memorable, and macabre.

Beyond that striking art style there’s also gorgeous soundtrack to go with all of this (more on that at the bottom of this review), it’s a joint score by composers Joel Bille and Bortre Rymden and features classical and jazz type numbers. It’s definitely going on our best indie game soundtracks list.

With around three-to-four hours of gameplay (standard, if not slightly more, for than your average indie adventure game) it’s an audio-visual experience that demands attention.

There’s also a VR headset option if you have one of those (we don’t know many people who do, seeing how expensive they are) and it actually won VR Game of the Year in 2025.

Downsides? It’s not the cheapest indie game out there at £24.99. Although we understand why it’s expensive, given the production values involved. Plus, it’s such a great game it more than warrants your time and money.

And the Excellence of The Midnight Walk’s Soundtrack

It’s like it’s mandatory for indie games to have excellent soundtracks. The Midnight Walk more than delivers, with its surreal twists on classical, jazz, and Scandinavian folk music. As you can see and hear above, there was a live performance of the score in late 2025—that piece is called Gräns.

Chamber music, we suppose, with a focus on clarinets, saxophones, violins, and percussion. There’s even a bit of Arvo Pärt violin influence at the start of Moon Mountain.

It’s almost at odds with the horror focus of the game, melancholic but certainly not the standard shrill, shrieking type of music you might expect with a horror game.

And we particularly love Molgrim’s Release here, a very fine little number.

Glorious stuff, then, and further proof there’s plenty of great modern music in the world. If you listen to the charts you won’t think that for a second, but in these small independent projects we’re seeing just how great modern musicians are.

ADDENDUM ALERT! The Midnight Walk Score Chillout Zone

As is often the case in the online community, a fan has created a dedicated animated chillout video for the soundtrack. Just the music and some in-game animations looping to enjoy on in the background.

NOOT, NOOT!

On 28 May 1986, the first episode, 'Pingu: A Story for Preschool Children" of the later same named Swiss stop-motion claymation children's show was produced.

Still voiced by creator Otmar Gutmann himself, Pingu's now iconic "noot-noot" sound was made by a kazoo for the pilot, that would be first shown at the Berlinale 1987, winning the Kleiner Bär award.

Over the following decades, 'Pingu' would be broadcast in more than 150 countries around the world.

Last call for animators and puppeteers for the next #AnimationArray episode! I’ve got space for one or two more things (under 4 mins). Who’s going to send something in then? 🎬

We've made a slight adjustment to the #AnimationArray slot on @TIBtv so that everything runs a little more smoothly (and so you have a better chance of catching your animation when it's on)!

That was a lovely #WallaceAndGromit film I just watched: Vengeance Most Fowl
Didn't know till this evening that they'd made a new one this year!
Even better, it features the "chicken" penguin diamond thief from an earlier animation of theirs, from way back in my childhood. 💚

My friend is putting together stop motion animation and uploading it to PeerTube.

I've boosted a couple of the videos, but this one is my favorite.
