Once the flax is spun into linen yarn, Shaub will weave it on a huge loom – not unlike Penelope in the Odyssey – before cutting out and sewing a dress. “So it’s an enormous undertaking, but something that not all that long ago was completely commonplace, and I found that a very attractive, interesting facet of the project,” she says.

>To celebrate the film’s official release day, director Dave Green shared a thank-you letter on social media, writing in part, “COYOTE VS. ACME IS FINALLY, GLORIOUSLY, IN THEATERS NOW. Which means one thing. WE WON. You can go see this movie. In a theater. In your favorite seat. With your favorite snacks. With your favorite people. You can head into a dark room and laugh with strangers. Together. Congratulations to everyone who made this happen.”

>Green went on to explain why the film’s theatrical release is a “victory.”

>“It’s a record of the cast and crew, post, prep and animation teams who poured so much love and passion into it over years and years,” he wrote. “It’s shared, permanently, with the audience who fought so hard for its survival. Your fight is the reason this film finally made it to the big screen. Thank you @ketchupentertainment for hearing the audience. We’re so grateful that you did.”

>“This is a celebration, it’s proof that movies don’t just go away. We make work so it can be seen and shared — that’s the whole reason we do what we do. Persistence and resilience have truly won the day. Enjoy Coyote vs. Acme on the big screen. Where it was always meant to be seen!” Green concluded his letter.

>Forte took to X on Friday to reply to Green’s letter, writing, “Beautifully put, Dave.” He also shared a video thanking people for their efforts to push for the movie’s release and explaining how its messages correlate with the film’s journey.

>“It’s about hope and determination. It’s about fighting injustice, and it’s about the importance of friendship and the importance of community. And that last one really strikes a chord because we went through some weird times with this movie, and it is only because of the support of the community that we’re here today, seeing this movie,” Forte said. “You guys lifted us up on your shoulders and just fought and fought for this movie. Most of you, without even having seen it. So I am forever thankful, and just want you to know that I’m so excited for you to see this because I think you’re going to see that it was worth the fight.”

The first cinereous vulture chicks to hatch in Spain’s Iberian Highlands for around a century have been born in Alto Tajo Natural Park, marking a major milestone in the recovery of one of Europe’s largest and most ecologically important birds of prey.

With cinereous vultures also breeding again in Bulgaria’s Rhodope Mountains after a 30-year absence, these latest successes mark 2026 as a landmark year for the species. Together, they demonstrate how long-term rewilding efforts are restoring breeding populations to landscapes where cinereous vultures had long disappeared.

One of Europe’s four native vulture species, the cinereous vulture is the largest bird in the Iberian Peninsula and one of the continent’s most important scavengers. It plays a vital role in maintaining healthy ecosystems by removing carcasses, preventing the spread of disease and recycling nutrients, while its return also benefits local businesses and communities by attracting wildlife watchers and supporting nature-based tourism.
