Dragon, a teensy animation, and some cat pictures.

I saw How to Train Your Dragon last week with my Mom and I adored every minute of it (it helped that there were only two other people in the theater). The art book is a must buy as soon as I'm able to get my hands on it. I want the action figures and the plushes too, but they can only be found at Wal-mart. I think the really amazing thing about the movie is how well they were able to translate the character designers' traditional drawings into gorgeous 3-dimensional character models and actually retained the intended look. The pacing and story were fantastic too, there was never a dull moment throughout. Best animated movie I've seen in a while. I didn't see Monsters Vs. Aliens but I loved Kung Fu Panda a whole lot. Dreamworks doesn't deserve the bashing it often gets; as much as it turns out sequels, it also turns out great original stuff. They can put out as many sequels as they like as far as I'm concerned, as long as they keep the original films coming too.

Secondly, a teeny clip from a bit of an 11 Second Club audio piece I was working on for practice. Been working on this on and off forever. In total it's about 8-9 seconds long. It's actually completed but the second half still needs a lot of tweaking.

And last, some cat pictures. Zoey is incredibly hard to photograph. She always moves when I'm trying to get a picture of her, especially when she's doing something cute. I finally managed to get a couple I liked. Look at those cute little paws!







Also it's very hot already for May.
