Hey guys, here's something we just finished up at work. It's a promotional short for a line of toys/books currently being pitched to different retailers.
Animation took about 2 weeks. Two guys did the final 8 shots, one guy did all of the flashback shots with the hats, and I did everything else. I also did some of the modeling and rigging.

Thanks! I averaged about 2 shots a day. Which actually was a nice change from other stuff we've been doing lately, where I was averaging 4-6 shots a day.

Well, there were a total of 8 guys that had their hand in it. Four animators (although I animated 2/3 of it myself), 2 surfacers/lighters, 2 compositors/post.

Nice. Assuming these characters were built and rigged, etc. earlier? I've not seen them anywhere before.

Three were built and rigged already. We did a shorter test animation a few months earlier, I believe it's on youtube as well. All the characters share the same face/lower half of the head, and there are only 3 different body types, so most of the rigging is reused. The only thing that's different is the top of the head.
Our lead animator modeled and rigged the original three, I modeled the three new heads, along with about 7 others that might be used for future animations.

Good job! I didn't expect such a lengthy animation when I read it was made in just 2 weeks. Great lip-synching and voice acting also!

Speechless!
The most impressive thing for me is the overall design. That environment (and characters) looks just awesome.
One of the best cartoon designs I've seen so far.
Animation is great also, and the voice acting is very cute.
I guess, all children's will adore this.
