This is an animation I made about a year ago. I had three days to make it, and that includes making the artwork, rigging them, creating the scenery, editing, mixing sound, oh yeah, and animating.
Had I more time I could have done a much more detailed animation but it is what it is. Also, the original pitch was something more 18+, not PG. The idea was to show something REALLY bad happening if you did not recycle (the mom was originally eaten by the seagulls in a very graphic manner. I had the layering effects all worked out) but at the last moment the company got cold feet and asked for a kids friendly version instead. This was the first of 4 cartoons I made, though I did get to kill them all in the last one at least.
