I'm definitely excited to see how Bluey and Minecraft are merging the worlds of animation and gaming! Bluey has such a charming way of capturing family dynamics, and it's incredible how it connects with both kids and adults. As for Minecraft, it's such a creative platform that lends itself perfectly to interactive storytelling.

I've seen some amazing fan animations and adaptations that highlight how versatile the Minecraft universe can be. It would be cool to see some of those ideas discussed at the conference! What are you hoping they'll touch on regarding franchise building? Any particular aspects of Bluey or Minecraft you think could expand into new areas?
