Helps that it reminds me of this childhood classic.

Ann Althouse said...: You can't assume they didn't have permission. If it is really vandalism, they are showing the world evidence of the crime. That would be stupid.; 5/16/08, 5:18 AM
John said...: Very original. I hope the artist got an A for the project (if this was a class project). Unfortunately, it didn't hold my interest for more than about two minutes.

I just can't sit for animation anymore, no matter how cleverly done. This includes the Simpsons, anything by Disney or Pixar, you name it. I guess I spent too many hours watching Saturday morning cartoons as a kid, and got burned out.; 5/16/08, 5:34 AM

It's Europe. It doesn't matter if it's "against the law". They stopped caring about that sort of thing a while ago.; 5/16/08, 8:31 AM

Well, they never even had any laws to begin with.

Joking!

Joan said...: I thought the setting and technique were interesting. I thought the subject matter was tedious and repetitious. I thought it was a poor choice to make a snack of the butterfly wings.; 5/16/08, 11:57 AM
