A baby recites the ABC's

Hello Touched, Slowtiger, Human and the rest of the gang -

I've finished three cartoon shorts now since buying AS. Here at last I am ready to share one with you (the other two do not have audio recorded yet). When this link becomes active, you can take a look at it and see what you think. It's an old-school 30-second clip teaching the wrong way to recite the alphabet, as performed by a baby.

The audio comes from a found cassette from a thrift store. Let me know what you think of this cartoon! All comments, suggestions, welcome!

If the link does not work, wait a while. I just posted it up to YouTube.

Cute, very cute! Are the "wrong letters" images supposed to mean anything or are they just random images?

Thanks for your kudos, guys! I'm stoked and can't believe I'm actually animating these! In reply to the random images question... are they random, exactly ? ... um... let's just say the official answer is "they don't mean a thing... nothing to see here, folks, nothing to see at all... just move along..." MIGHT be something there.

I picked every one of them *very* deliberately.

I just have to say it was the audio on this found cassette of this kid singing like this that provoked the whole video. As soon as I heard it was a kid singing the alphabets I was like sitting there praying PLEASE GOD LET HIM MESS UP SOME OF THE LETTERS and HE DID!!! (sorry to yell but this was exciting) Soon as I heard that, I was off and running

Cool and funny! Good work!

Last ten seconds .. .I would remove them.. ... or add a final joke (for example an accelerated spelling of the alphabet and a very wide opened eyes of the baby...
Just a suggestion

Yeah, you are right - those last ten seconds. I need to edit some of that off. Next edit go round, I'm going to fix that.

When I get the audio on the other two then I will post them here too - this is plain ole rotten fun!

make the baby blow up in the end. Or, give him a deep voice that says "Are we finished here, Frank? I've got other work to do."
