The results of the 2025 Oscars came as a surprise when dialogue-free Latvian film "Flow" became the first indie film to win Best Animated Feature. Previous Pixar employee of 22 years Michael O'Brien says "Flow" is significant for young creatives entering the industry. "I think it is a super exciting time to enter animation as a young animator. You have the world in front of you. There are a bunch of new tools and styles that AI will bring and that will be an opportunity for young people to show us older people what they can do with them. I helped bring computers into animation, and now it’s time for new storytellers to make movies their way," O'Brien said.
