 Pixar announces new Finding Nemo short film, Loving Dory  Pixar is returning to the “Finding Nemo” universe with a new short film titled “Loving Dory,” continuing the franchise after its two films grossed roughly $2 billion worldwide. The short was announced at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, where Pixar also revealed plot details and screened early footage. Produced by Mary Alice Drumm and directed by Lou Hamou-Lhadj, the story follows Dory as she takes Nemo to school. On her way back, she becomes trapped in a sea anemone and is rescued by what she believes is a jellyfish, which is actually a plastic bag containing a discarded sunscreen tube. Dory then forms an unexpected friendship with the object, with the footage showing a series of whimsical, emotional moments between the pair. The animation reportedly features a dreamy visual style with layered lighting, underwater particles, and soft depth effects, drawing comparisons to earlier Pixar experimental wor...

Former Super Falcons coach Waldrum questions NFF over use of $960,000 FIFA World Cup Grant 


Former Super Falcons head coach Randy Waldrum has challenged the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to explain how it spent the $960,000 he insists FIFA disbursed to all participating nations in October 2022 for preparations ahead of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. In a video that has gone viral on social media, Waldrum accused the federation of failing to organise a proper pre-tournament training camp despite receiving the grant. “I have a real close contact here in the US that is very connected with some of the board at FIFA. This person told me that in October, every country was given $960,000 from FIFA to prepare for the World Cup. Where is that money?” he asked.


Waldrum criticised what he described as poor planning around the team’s October 2022 friendly in Japan, saying the logistics left his squad physically exhausted. “We went to Japan, we flew in, played the game, and went home. Some of our players didn’t arrive until the morning before the game. Five players who were going to start for me arrived the night before, after travelling 16 hours. We wasted the last five days of that window to train,” he said.


He also raised concerns about the size and capacity of Nigeria’s technical staff, insisting the federation had failed to meet standards permitted by FIFA. According to him, FIFA allows teams to travel with up to 22 technical personnel, yet Nigeria’s contingent included only about 11. “I don’t have an analyst, and I scout. The US has a scout in Europe watching teams. We don’t even have scouts going with us to Australia. Everything I have to do is on videos and what I can pick up online,” he lamented.


Waldrum further argued that FIFA allows business-class travel and later deducts the cost from federations’ prize money, insisting there was no justification for inadequate travel arrangements or poorly organised training camps.
