And I have to agree, this rhino SCREAMS Sidney the elephant. It’s not a bad thing to be influenced by someone else’s work as long as you give credit where it’s due.

This short is an intentional homage to that wonderful, and rarely seen these days, shorts. <br />However, there is a "Looney Tunes" edge to this film and I believe it will be a satisfying combination.<br />Next week, when I get back from Ottawa, I'll have much more art to post - and explain more of what we are up to.

Not that it's a bad thing--the work Deitch did at Terrytoons is some of the best of his career. Finally someone got "retro" right.<br /><br />This is one studio I'd love to pitch my own ideas to. And believe me, I have plenty.

Looking forward to the cartoon.

Don't get me wrong, I love Clint Clobber. He's the closest Terrytoons ever came to existentialism and free verse. Cool, but can Clint Clobber II be far behind?
