Character Inspiration...




Apologies for the very late starting of this blog! But cutting everything down into a short story, my original inspiration for the idea of my film was from an old elephant toy I had when I was 6, who was called Elliot :) and my nephew's little monkey teddy called Bananas (that's what it says on its label anyway). The idea was the little elephant is travelling with his family and being really indepently minded and somewhat disobedient ends up straying away from his family and not caring so much that he's away from his family. He then bumps into a monkey who shows him around the jungle he's lost in and decides to help him back to his family, along the way bumping into other animals (who were also based on toys) who help them. But I obviously didn't want to animate too many characters, so managed to scratch it down to just the 2.

The original idea I had in mind was something that looked a bit like Heffalump and Elly from Pocoyo. Well having the characters with beady eyes.
