If you know me then you know I’m not a really big fan of Disney. But this short in my opinion is one of their most beautiful things ever done, this was supposed to be in the next Fantasia that got cancelled. This also made me firmly believe that there needs to be a 2D animated film that takes place in Africa, and I will hand draw the entire thing myself it I have to. If it takes the rest of my life to finish. On my bucket list.
I, like many of my generation, was first introduced to TMBG via Tiny Toons. And only now, on this watching, did I realize that the bit with the hair and the violin was Hamton & Plucky as the actual duo. (To be fair, I think the last time I saw this one was whenever Tiny Toons was still in reruns)
Came across this through a StumbleUpon email.
The visuals are fantastic. A combination of 2D and 3D used to build a minimalist retro style that feels like a 50’s poster brought to life. = )
