and the spangram was ANIMATION. Strands #325 “Pixar this” 🔵🔵🔵🔵 🔵🟡🔵 Hi Strands fans. Even if you've seen every Pixar movie (I'm on about 80%, having not seen Brave, The Good Dinosaur or any of the Cars movies), today's one isn't as easy as you might expect.

That's because only one-word titles are eligible, meaning no Toy Story, The Incredibles, Inside Out or Finding Nemo. Still, I was able to cross off a big segment of the board straight away, when I remembered how to spell RATATOUILLE, which was in the bottom-right corner. I then found CARS and BRAVE above it along the top of the board.

You'd have thought getting two I hadn't seen would set me up nicely, but it turns out some of the ones I had seen are somewhat forgettable. So it took me some time to remember that ONWARD exists, but that helped me find SOUL - which I really did like (and, controversially, I might call the last great original Pixar made). This cleared enough space to get the spangram: ANIMATION.

And that meant the last movie was sitting as an anagram in the bottom-left corner. After a little decoding, I realized it was ELEMENTAL - a movie I actually saw with a cast and crew Q&A at the BFI just 19 months ago. How quickly we forget, eh?
