This week’s Cartoon Hangover ‘toon “Vegeterrible” by Henrik Sonniksen and Benjamin Neilsen is about good food… gone bad. Am I right? Get it? HA! Here, Henrik speaks on behalf the creative team and lets us know a little more about the film.

Cartoon Hangover: Where did you guys study animation?

Henrik Sonniksen: We studied animation at The Animation Workshop in Viborg. We started school back in 2006 and graduated with “Vegeterrible” in January this year.

CH: Who are your favorite artists/animators?

HS: For Vegeterrible we looked at a lot of artwork form French students at Gobelins and at some of the amazing movies from the Japanese animation studio; Studio 4C, who made films like Tekkonkinkreet and Mind Game.

CH: What gave you the idea for “Vegeterrible”?

HS: Benjamin and his brother got the idea from looking into a rotten refrigerator, and we started thinking about what was happening during this molding process.

CH: What was your favorite part of the film to work on?

HS: This is the first film for both of us, so there was a lot of exiting stuff to work with. Since we were only two people who had to do the film in a relatively short period of time, we got to be involved with every aspect of making it.

CH: Any cool production stories, mishaps, or other craziness?

HS: There were a lot of mishaps, a bit of craziness, but mostly work

CH: What freaks you out the most? Aside from avocado monsters, of course.

HS: I saw “Paranormal Activity” the other day, and it actually freaked me out a little bit, so I would have to say evil ghosts

CH: Are you working on anything new you can tell us about?

HS: We are currently working on a music video. We don’t have much time for it, but we hope is going to turn out well.

CH: Thanks for the interview! We’ll keep our eyes peeled for more vegeterrifying stuff from you guys!
