A puppet animation based on 'King Kong' and silent horror films of the 1930's such as 'Nosferatu'. In the depths of a forest a squirrel is attacked by evil knitted people, so he seeks them out to destroy their woolen brains in revenge...

This is a film animated by my sister (www.lizzlizz.com) a couple of years ago, we decided to convert it into Flash and submit it here. Hope you like it.

I love your horrific style. I've never seen something like this on NG but you've gotta keep making this stuff. It's beautiful in a creepy way, which I love. Keep up the work, its terrific!

I'm afraid this will probably be a one off (until i'm rich enough to employ animators to animate my ideas for me) because it is a veeery slow and boring process to be stuck in a room with a homemade taxidermy squirrel, a camera and some paper mache trees moving it frame by frame and trying not to move the background.

Thanks :o) Lizz

that was a very interesting and unique animation. this one had a very original idea to it, nice graphics, cool audio and it was fun to watch. a definite nice change from some of the usual stuff you see here on NG.

Haha, this is so great! I loved the ending, too! I actually liked the music, I thought it fit perfectly. Great job on the stop motion, too; I've always wanted to try it, but it just seems like way too much work... :p

Thanks, i'm glad you liked the ending. At first it was going to end just with the squirrel eating his acorns on the bed of wool but it didn't seem a creepy enough ending...no one can defeat those evil knitted creatures.....! :o) Lizz

That was the most unique item i've seen on newgrounds in a long long time, and i must say i enjoyed watching it (not just saying this because im marks friend heh). Alot different to that book of yours i thumbed through at the custard factory, was so very tempted to buy but £5 was my bus fare home i'm afraid, maybe next time i'm up.

Again unique style, awesome story and so twisted our new media lecturers should have shown us this had they not been boring the arses off of us with second life.
