Miracles are Happening in Animation
Ready for some news so cheeky, it makes me feel childish to blog about it? Well, I just heard about this little studio over on Animated-News.com a few days ago called Miracle Studios. It’s an independent animation studio with the following mission statement:
Tom Hignite’s Miracle Studios is dedicated to continuing the art of storytelling through hand drawn, traditional 2-D animation . We respect the classic animators of the past and their contributions to our general quality of life. It is our humble goal and fervent passion to pay homage to those artists and stories by attempting to follow in their footsteps. Miracle Studios is a special place where some of the best talent in the industry can enjoy a “safe place” to flourish, grow, and contribute to their art. It is our hope to create the next great classic stories, with an uncompromising level of quality, for many generations to come.
Yeah, it looks like the guys at these studios know their stuff. Many of them used to work for Disney and Warner Bros. and they’re all middle aged or older, but they know the classic Disney style, the style that Disney hardly uses anymore, except for some of their TV stuff. I’d say though that Disney got rid of some of their best talent when they fired these guys. Anyhow, they’re working on an exciting new film project entitled “The Many Adventures of Miracle Mouse,” their first big production.
For anyone who hasn’t seen ads for Miracle Homes, and that constitutes a great many of us probably, Miracle Mouse is Miracle Studios’ mascot. Imagine Mickey Mouse in a yellow hard hat, and suspenders with a much smaller face and ears that stick out perpendicular to his head. You get the idea. Just check out the site, and you’ll get what I mean.
So, for the project, they need financial backers and all that. No kidding. Check out the demo reel on their website and you’ll see these guys have got serious skill. And as we all know, serious skill needs serious money to get going. So what are y’all waiting for? Go to their store and buy some of their merchandise. If you’ve got kids, they ought to love the plushies and the storybooks. Me though, I’m kinda interested in their music CD, but I don’t see a deal for that that comes without the activity book. Blast. Anyway, you know the Schpiel. Give’em your money so they can crank out a good ole homegrown animated movie. Support Capitalism, people!
