Just click on the .swf file when it loads, and use the arrow keys to navigate. It really inspires me to try something like that... in a cool, McCloudian kinda way. (there are some swears)
It also has a FOLLOWUP ... which gets bonus points for making fun of Twilight.
I went for cute because the trunk monkey concept seems to invite slapstick humor... wanted to try a different angle. But now I feel like I have to redeem myself with something hardcore. Good thing the Batman storyboard assignment is next.
This was done a while ago. I don't think I'd ever watch cage matches or mixed martial arts fights on my own, but they do provide a good opportunity to do 1) gestures, and 2) muscles, both of which I'm always open to.
"I do not make pictures for children, at least not just for children. I won't play down to them. Too many people grow up. That's the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up. They forget. They don't remember what it's like to be twelve years old. They patronize; they treat children as inferiors. I won't do that. I'll temper a story, yes. But I won't play down, and I won't patronize them."
"I didn't treat my youngsters like frail flowers, and I think no parent should. Children are people, and they should have to reach to learn about things, to understand things, just as adults have to reach if they want to grow in mental stature. Life is composed of lights and shadows, and we would be untruthful, insincere and saccharine if we tried to pretend there were no shadows. Most things are good, and they are the strongest things, but there are evil things, too, and you could do a child no favor by trying to shield it from reality. The important thing is to teach a child that good can always triumph over evil, and that is what our pictures do."
