Wanted to give you the quick update on things.

1) Episode 12 (the series/season finale) is coming along nicely but slowly (as it has LOTS of animation and key moments). Of course we wish we could make it faster, but really want to make sure we get it right! In other words - we’re working on it, but for now it’s:

Episode 12 picUnder Construction


2) As soon as I am finished on Episode 12, I will immediately begin work on the DVD with all 12 episodes together (feature film version with no breaks in it). We are organizing a screening in NYC in late September of which you are all invited of course when we have more details.

3) The Behind the Scenes link on the right has the added links for the videos located on escapistmagazine.com should you like to see the whacky crew behind the movie :)

4) Finally - The Webby awards were super awesome (we won Best use of Animation - click the video to watch excerpts). Thx to all for voting and giving a damn. As people often ask how they can help more - all we say is blog about us and tell as many people as you can - it makes a big difference. We really do love you guys for making us feel special and can’t thank you enough.

Webby Awards Crew

Back to work for me!!

We are beyond thankful to all the people who have helped and supported us this far. You guys ROCK!

As for the Webby’s, it’s time for you guys to let them know that you think we are cool too (we hope you do). Please get everyone you know (grandmas are welcome!) to vote for us and let the Webby’s know what you think!
