Bit of a breakthrough.... motivation wise.

When Rosa first introduces herself to the plastic flamingos, Dee is LAUGHING at her. First she might look like WTF? but then just laughs as the dance starts and then she copies/makes fun of her. THAT's why Rosa gets mad and wants her to cut it out! But it needs to be clear that Dee wants to be her friend. This from the birdbath, to the stepping over, to the tree where she's watching - she's like "Hello! Hellooo! it's Meeeee!" bounce.bounce.bounce.

Another reference/resource "Chicken Little" -- I really liked the way they did his head, particularly the eyes. I also liked the lighting, it was that yellowy, glowy kind of light. Feet were good, too.

Somehow, I'm shooting for some type of blend between the style/light/color of Chicken Little with the style/sophistication of "Corpse Bride".

Chicken Little is a sad example of everything technically perfect but it came up lacking. It wasn't funny.. however, I loved the character and the clever ways he made up for being small. I liked the style of the houses, car, town. I liked the reference to the old stories. The "extras" was less then impressive, but they did have some nice animatic stuff. I think the "acting" part of the animation was just boring. But I did like the character Chicken Little.
