Description
Special thanks to MayaX for this excellent "Danbo" character at sharecg.com
Hi Everyone! :-)
I came across this excellent Manga style character and thought it would be
perfect to make a short animation with it! One issue that proved to be the most
challenging in animating it, was dealing with the boundaries of this little
characters limb movements.
I therefore had some poke-through in the animated scenes :-( oops! What can
I say, the kids wanted to do their Ballet, Martial Arts moves...who am I to deny
and prevent these little ones from doing them! It made them so happy! :-)
After seeing this little box character, I will most likely never look at a cardboard
box in the same way again!
I want to thank you all for viewing and commenting on my last animation!
I appreciate the comments you left very much! :-)
I am humbled by your support and will continue to do my best to create
animations and renders worthy of the time you take to view them!
Stay Safe and have a great weekend! :-)

It's a good thing I was sitting in my chair, because I have to admit that I was stunned. It is original, very well done, it is a success my friend, you can be proud of yourself. Hats off to the artist !! (I too would not look at cardboard boxes without thinking of this animation)

Applause! This is so delightful, Johnny! I have gained a whole new respect for the humble cardboard box (particularly the ones with Black Belts.... LOL). A wonderful animation, sir!

I loved seeing a box dance the ballet. Incredible to see them as family, and all that affection. A wonderful choice of score for this sweet family film. 👏😻👏

oh, beautifully done! You got real dignity and airborne flight out of those cardboard boxes...you brought them alive. I did animation a long while ago (digital), and it was awful, lol...but I gained a real respect for how hard it is to do, and yours has flight and glide and natural grace and touching beauty. Love the storytime scene, and the ballet in the beginning, and the outfits, and above all the love between the young one and the parent. Beautifully done---kudos.
