You've heard of Powerpuff Girls Z , now get ready for… Kid Cosmic GT! Last year I gave Craig McCracken's Kid Cosmic a watch, and to say I liked it would be an understatement. I loved it! In fact, if you're an animation fan and haven't give it a chance on Netflix, what are you waiting for? But I'm not here to talk about the series itself, but rather, a idea I came up with while watching it. What if Kid Cosmic got the same treatment as McCracken 's other superhero cartoon and had its own anime adaptation?
The result would be "Kid Cosmic GT", or, more exactly, "Global Heroes GT". The main story would go like this: Tuna, a magical cat from outer space (see image), is sent to Earth by his Stuck-Chuck-looking boss in order to look for the new "Global Heroes": a legendary team of magical girls that fights for love and justice. To do so, Tuna goes to the streets and pretends to be ill; that way, he can find a girl kind-hearted enough to become the Global Heroes' leader. However, it's not a girl that comes to his rescue, but rather a Kid! Tuna sympathizes with Kid so much that, due to the boy's fanatism for anime heroes in general, allows him to become the leader. Afterwards, and much to the boss's dismay, the anime counterparts of Jo, Rosa and Papa G end up joining the team. When trouble arises, they and Kid use their magical compacts and rings to become… the Global Heroes! Basically, the GH have the same powers as in the original cartoon (telekinesis, portal creation, growth and multiplication), along with outfits based on the KC Season 3 ones and PPGZ-esque cutesy weapons. Kid, for instance, has a pinwheel. Oh, and their personalities are a little different: Papa G can get flirty with women á lá Master Roshi and Jo (despite still being the default voice of reason) straight up falls in love with every boy she comes across with. In other words, she gets the same treatment Blossom got on PPGZ.
Here's a concept art piece I've made of Tuna pulling a Peach/Poochie to summon the Global Heroes. I doodled the cat along with one sandwich on paper, and my sister @elmundodeanalu did all the rest digitally. So, kudos to her. The piece also comes with the English, Japanese and Latin Spanish versions of Tuna's catchphrase, based on the dubs that PPGZ got. I dedicate this to @kadiwright , another Kid Cosmic fan that has made a fanart of Kid transforming into his Global Hero suit in an anime-like way. So, in a way, you can consider my drawing as a companion to Kadi's. Check it out here.

Here's a very late Christmas artwork I've done in line with Charles Dickens 's "A Christmas Carol" turning 180 last year and both Mickey Mouse and the public domain becoming trending topics lately. Behold, the ultimate Christmas Carol crossover! Oh, and before someone wonders about this piece being very late for Christmas, here in Latin America some people leave their decorations until this very week for the most. So, consider this as a farewell to the holiday season.

One day, as I was surfing IG, I came across a deleted scene for "The Mitchells vs. The Machines" uploaded by Guillermo Martinez , the movie's head of story. It was an alternate version of the Mitchells' fight with the giant Furby. Instead of Rick having the idea to mimic his possum trap in order to defeat the Furby, Katie would have suggested her family to stand on top of each other. That way, Aaron could throw a bag of unpopped popcorn on the toy's beak so as to explode it from the inside. You can find a link to that scene as a highlight story in my account. When discovering this deleted scene , the first thing that came to my mind was the fairy tale "The Bremen Town Musicians (or "The Musicians of Bremen" as it's also called), which had its four animal protagonists doing the same as what the Mitchells would do initially. Excluding the popcorn bit that is; the animals actually made a lot of noise in order to scare a bunch of robbers away. P.D: Thinking about the similarities between Bremen and Mitchells, I wondered: "What if the Mitchells took the roles of the animals in the story?". Thus, I have written a fanfic based on that idea that you can find on my Deviantart account "rodrickart17" under the name "The Mitchell Musicians of Bremen". You can check it out if you are interested.

The Mitchells vs. the Madrigals - Fan script for a mini sketch
Tumblr media
DISCLAIMER: The following script is a parody. Any use of names related to movies, institutions or people (whether fictional or not) is not meant to be taken seriously.
--------------------------------------
Dolby Theater, March 27th 2022. The Oscars are about to begin. Among various live action actors, directors and similar film crew, some CGI animated characters and a 2-D Amin Nawabi (Flee) look for their seats apart from those that belong to the directors of their respective movies. Among the CGI toons are Raya and Sisu; next to them, Luca, Alberto and Giulia. Amin, in particular, wears a tuxedo while Sisu only wears a tie. Raya, on the other hand, wears an elegant dress. They all sit. The spectators around these toon stars clap and cheer at them with eerie-looking faces and smiles. Last but not least, two toon families in elegant clothing also find their seats among the clapping spectators. At one side, the Madrigals; at the other, the Mitchells. The spectators suddenly stop clapping as the two families sit and get comfortable. Aaron Mitchell, along with Monchi (who also wears a little tuxedo, like a little gentleman), get closer to where Antonio Madrigal is. Aaron stares at Antonio and does a little dino roar while showing his T-Rex snapper.
ANTONIO: Guys, take a seat!
At this command, some wild animals appear out of nowhere: a leopard, a few capibaras, a toucan, a few tapirs, some coatis… Aaron feels uncomfortable about this. Monchi, on the other hand, gets scared at the animals and leaves towards the rest of the Mitchell family. Aaron follows him. Meanwhile, Rick gets approached by Linda.
LINDA: I don’t know about you honey, but I hope Encanto wins.
RICK: Enchan…to? You mean the one with that, what was called… “Bruno”… song? Aaron never stops seeing that video Katie has made with Monchi barfing it.
LINDA: Well…yeah! I guess so.
A second Linda approaches Rick.
LINDA 2: Ehm…Rick?
The first Linda changes into Camilo Madrigal, who returns with the rest of the Madrigals with an annoyed yet confused look on his face. He can't believe Rick knows little about Encanto. Mirabel, on the other hand, approaches Katie.
MIRABEL (with an optimistic tone): Hey, good luck.
They both shake hands, but Katie feels a little unsecure about what just happened.
KATIE: Ehm…thanks I suppose?
Mirabel returns to where the rest of the Madrigals are.
CUT TO: An hour later
The time all the toons and the directors of their movies have been waiting for has finally come. Lily James, Naomi Scott and Halle Bailey get on stage to present the Oscar for Best Animated Feature. Everyone cheers.
HALLE BAILEY: All of these characters hold such a special place in our hearts, because animated films make up some of our most formative movie experiences as kids.
Katie gets surprised and mumbles angrily.
LILY JAMES: So many kids watch these movies over, and over…
HALLE BAILEY: And over and over and over and over and over!
NAOMI SCOTT: I see some parents out there know exactly what we’re talking about!
Linda also gets surprised and mumbles angrily, but in a tone that’s little louder than Katie. Katie sees this and calms her down.
KATIE (whispering): Calm down, mom! There’s… there’s a big chance for us to win! I hope…
NAOMI SCOTT: Here are the nominees for Best Animated Feature Film. Encanto; Jared Bush, Byron Howard, Yvett Merino and Clark Spencer.
As Scott reads the previous title and directors, the Madrigals get surprised as the ever-so-cheerful crowd claps at them. A rainbow appears over Pepa. Isabela produces some beautiful flowers on her hair and Antonio’s animal friends look at him happily. However, Abuela Alma seems to just be happy about the situation; she doesn’t celebrate with the family. Mirabel, on the other hand, just looks at everyone with discommodity in her eyes.
N.S. (cont’d): Flee; Jonas Poher Rasmussen, Monica Hellström, Signe Byrge Sørensen and Charlotte de la Gournerie.
Amin hesitates for a moment, then stands up and, with a confused look, bows at the crowd around him.
N.S. (cont’d): Luca; Enrico Casarosa and Andrea Warren.
While the monotonous crowd cheers, Giulia waves at them while Luca and Alberto celebrate by throwing bottles of water at themselves. This causes them to change into their sea monster forms, much to Giulia’s surprise.
N.S. (cont’d): The Mitchells vs the Machines; Mike Rianda, Phil Lord, Christopher Miller and Kurt Albrecht.
Katie is trying to calm down Linda when, suddenly, she realizes her family has just been mentioned. She immediately and insecurely waves at the crowd along with Rick. Linda waves frowning while Aaron waves Monchi’s left front paw. Both Rick and Aaron’s faces are also showing the same insecurity as the women of their family.
N.S. (cont’d): Raya and the Last Dragon; Don Hall, Carlos López Estrada, Osnat Shurer and Peter del Vecho.
Sisu and Raya wave at the crowd. Sisu then pats Raya in the head.
LILY JAMES: The Academy rules specify that animated characters must remain in their seats.
N.S.: Only real people can accept the award, so please be animated.
HALLE BAILEY: And the Oscar goes to…
Suspense is in the air. All toons stare at the three hosts in excitement. There’s even fog surrounding Pepa! Monchi just drools over the deadpan capibara, though, but the latter doesn’t even react to that. Finally, Bailey opens the envelope. The winner is…
JAMES, SCOTT AND BAILEY: Encanto!!!
All of the live-action audience members clap and cheer. While the Encanto live-action crew heads to the stage, the Madrigals and Antonio’s animals celebrate their victory along with the crowd surrounding them. A ray of sunshine appears over Pepa. Abuela Alma is still only happy and keeps distancing herself from the Madrigals’ celebration. Also, Mirabel is still looking uncomfortable. Amin gets a little frustrated at not winning the award while a member of the crowd turns around to give a “better luck next time” look towards his neck. A similar thing happens with some crowd members next to the remaining “loosers”. The Luca trio is straight up angry at the situation, but that doesn’t compare to Linda’s reaction. She starts breathing and growling uncontrollably with her face having turned hot and her pupils having shrunk down to some dangerously familiar ones. Her scene attracts the attention of Raya and Sisu; Sisu being just about to pat Raya in the shoulder as consolation. Katie and Rick, meanwhile, are trying to calm Linda down.
KATIE: Mom, mom, please calm down!
RICK: Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out, it’s OK!
Linda’s breakdown doesn’t seem to worry the live-action assistants of the ceremony. The Encanto live action crew do their speech.
CLARK SPENCER: And everyone in the Walt Disney Animation Studios, this film only exists because of your talent and your passion…
LINDA (in a very angry tone): KATIE, IS IT TRUE THE ACADEMY IS BOUGHT BY DISNEY?!
This interrupts Spencer’s speech. The Encanto LA crew, the three hostess and everyone in the audience turns to Linda. The audience in particular emits the traditional crowd gasp sound effect.
KATIE (unsecure and worried at the same time): Well, not exactly, you see…
Linda interrupts Katie with a loud yell. Rick and Katie look at each other; they know what to do in these cases. They get up and wave their arms in desperation.
RICK: Everyone leave the building, quick!
KATIE: Code Lavender! Code Lavender!
Rick and Katie’s efforts are worthless. Linda angrily heads towards the stage throwing away every seat (all with an audience member on them) she finds on her path. Once Linda is on stage, she runs towards every Encanto LA crew member, grabs and throws them into the air. She then runs at the three hostesses, who all try to escape.
LINDA: YOU THREE, GET ANIMATION OUT OF YOUR F**KING MOUTHS!!!
Linda grabs the three and also throws them into the air. All the live action audience members, by now, have left the building in fear. Abuela, through a movement of her arm, draws the Madrigals’ attention to Linda. They all get on stage in an attempt to stop her. All, that is, except for Dolores, Felix, Agustín, Mirabel and Bruno. Dolores mumbles and covers her ears.
DOLORES: Ugh, those steps!
The attempts of the remaining Madrigals to stop Linda, still, are in vain. A storm cloud appears over Pepa. From it, a thunder catches The Lavender One. However, she somehow survives said thunder, but ends up looking cartoonishly calcinated (i.e. turns completely gray and smoke rises from her body). This, nonetheless, doesn’t stop her from throwing Pepa in the air, running towards Julieta, snatching the arepita con queso the latter had at hand and eating it. In a second, her calcinated body turns back to normal. She throws Julieta away too. Antonio then uses his arm to command the animals (except for the deadpan capibaras) to throw themselves into her. They all do at once, but Linda, in just two arm movements, grabs and throws them away with ease, leopard included. Isabela summons two large flowers to tangle her up, but Linda rips them off, again, easily. She heads towards Isa, grabs and throws her away. Meanwhile, Mirabel reaches Katie, who is watching everything calmly.
KATIE: No offence to your family, but I think they deserve this.
MIRABEL: Yeah, I guess you’re right.
Amin reaches the two girls.
AMIN: Do you want to know something kids? After that awful speech about animation, I won’t trust the Academy anymore.
KATIE: Same here Mr. Nawabi. Oh, by the way, I watched your movie. And I LOVE it. It’s incredible how…
Katie gets interrupted by a screech from her mum. The fight is still going strong. Linda has just thrown Camilo away. Luisa grabs a column pillar with both hands and heads with it towards Linda. Linda, with just one hand, grabs said pillar and throws both it and Luisa towards the roof, breaking it. The Mitchell mum breathes in and out, still in rage. Almost every Madrigal has been knocked out and the theater has been ruined. Suddenly, Abuela stands up.
ABUELA: Alright, that’s enough Señora Mitchell!
Linda looks towards Abuela while calming herself down. Luisa falls back down, breaking the roof yet again.
ABUELA: What a shame! I know you’re angry because we won the Award, but that’s no way of treating us!
Linda lowers her head in shame.
ABUELA (cont'd): But don't worry! To solve our rivalry. I suggest you to go with your family to our Casita Madrigal. We'll throw a big party there!
Pepa gets surprised and a storm cloud appears over her again.
ABUELA (cont’d): The other nominees are also invited! The Casita pays!
Linda thinks about it and gets calmed and cheerful all of a sudden. She finally gets off the stage and joins the rest of the Mitchells, who all are puzzled at what has just happened. Pepa, still accompained by her storm cloud, approaches Abuela in anger.
PEPA: What are you thinking?! They will all trash out Casita!
ABUELA: (Giggles) I know. You'll soon see.
CUT TO: Casita, some hours later.
Casita opens up her doors. The floors’ tiles push the Mitchells, Monchi, Raya, Sisu, Amin and the Luca trio outside. They all fall on each other. The doors close. A roof tile from over the door goes up and down continuously as a way to wave them goodbye. The Madrigals, with Abuela having their Oscar at hand, see it all through a window.
KATIE: You know mom? It's still not too late to bring "The Lavender One" back.
Linda's face gets hot and her pupils shrink again. Cue the yelling.

Now that the Oscars are just around the corner, I’ve been thinking of how 2022 was the year of the Pinocchio cinematic universe. Last year we’ve seen the famous wooden boy asking his father when can he leave to be on his own, smelling horse dung,  delving into the concepts of obedience and life in 1930s Italy and stealing Jack Horner’s thunder. Based on that, I’ve made this concept poster for an idea I’ve had back on 2016 about the Steven Universe characters tackling the story of Pinocchio in a generic modern setting (you know, with cars and videogames and such). I was 14 at the time, so the whole concept was flawed from the get go. Firstly, Geppetto’s counterpart was called “Greg Petto” and Pinocchio’s gem would glow when he lied. With that you can tell how creative I got when coming up with the idea. It was because of the flawed concept that I ended up cancelling it in favour of other more promising projects of mine, like the one about Wendy Corduroy I’ve talked about previously. Nonetheless, I still have a place in my heart for Pinocchio Universe, so that’s why I’ve made the poster. The base for it was the cover of a Pinocchio book made by the Indian press "Kohwai & Young" for their "My Big Book of Favorite Fairy Tales" series. Oh, and by the way, I chose Garnet as the counterpart of Stromboli back then because in the original book he (who was named Mangiafuoco) felt pity for Pinocchio.

My Potential Projects 2: “Teens” (Concept Art Included!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In Gravity Falls, Oregon, there live six ordinary teenagers: Wendy, Lee, Nate, Thompson, Tambry and Robbie. During their summer break, this group of friends deals with, in a nutshell, firsts. First jobs, first crushes and a first taste of freedom... Of course, not every new experience is a positive one. Phone-addicted and gothic Tambry, for instance, despises the fact that she is obligated to have a perpetually smiley attitude and wear a very hot owl costume when working at Hoo-Ha Owl’s Pizzamatronic Jamboree. Wendy, on the other hand, bores out working as a cashier in the tourist trap “The Mystery Shack” and as a lifeguard in the community pool. Still, she doesn’t hesitate to rebel against the rules set by her bosses Mr. Pines and Mr. Poolcheck along with her working peers, which, by the way, include a nerdy tween boy named Dipper that has his eyes set on her. Robbie, the emo of the team, may tolerate his job at the burger stand of the Gravity Falls mall, but is completely obsesse with Wendy and really wants her to be his girlfriend. Now, although there’s a considerable ammount of negative experiences, coward Thompson loves his position as the Royal Ragtime Theater manager. That way, he can switch the tables with ushers Lee and Nate by using his authority to force them to clean the toilets and seats. His off-the-clock status as the group’s living “Kick Me” sign really tires him out in secret!
Tumblr media
These friends may live a generic teenage live, but the supernatural always lurks in the shadows ready to surprise them when they least expect it. As Gravity Falls is a town where this stuff is common, the group helping Lee practice for his upcoming driving test can become a wild escapade from a ferocious monster! Similarly, things like haunted convenience stores and gravity mishaps aren’t left out! 
Tumblr media
However, no matter what happens to them and in the town, the gang attempts to make the good times last on one of their very few summers left. It’s a constant balance between minimum wages and maximum scares!
Tumblr media
SAMPLE EPISODE 1: Wendy wants to watch a movie. However, Thompson bans her from the local theater because she entered with food. Wendy thinks that him, of course, knows this mean war! She’ll try various ways to enter the theater avoiding his iron-fist. The clock is ticking in this battle of wits and trickery!
SAMPLE EPISODE 2: The whole gang, along with Wendy’s working peers Dipper and Mabel, explore an abandoned convenience store. They have usual teenage fun in there, which may or may not end up with them in one ghost of an unexciting adventure.
SE3: Tambry, so as to catch a break from all the Hoo-Ha hubbub, babysits the town-famous L’il Gideon. She soon realizes it may not have been a good idea to do so, because things with that little boy will definitely not be down to earth!
SE4: Tambry holds a Summerween party at her house while her parents are out. Her five friends, along with the rest of the Gravity Falls High School students, join in, not knowing a simple bottle-spinning game with unleash an evil entity that will force them into eating cursed lollipop sticks.
SE5: Lee has trouble practicing for his upcoming driving test, so he calls upon the rest of the gang for help. They all hop aboard the Thompson family van and let Lee at the wheel in order to guide him on a drive through the forest. Soon, however, a horde of gnomes starts chasing them, and only Lee’s parallel parking skills can save the day!
SE6: The Gravity Falls Community Pool is looking for a new assistant lifeguard. Still, Wendy is fed up with having to stay in the community pool after her usual shift in order to try out people. Thus, when Dipper suggests he can be the lifeguard, Wendy admits him on the spot. The two have fun breaking the rules, but Mr. Poolcheck has other ideas regarding fun...
Tumblr media
SE7: Robbie decides to record a song dedicated to Wendy so as to make her fall in love with him. To do so, he’ll have to get help from some unusual creatures.
SE8: Tambry and Robbie start dating without any warning, which surprises the rest of the teens...for worse.
SE9: It’s another usual day at the town, until suddenly (and literally) gravity starts falling. The gang must do all they can in order to survive all the floating!
SE10: Inspired by Jack Kerouac’s classic “On the Road”, Wendy convinces the gang, along with her working peers, to do some hitch hike. She, secretly, wants to stay away from her father after a fight they got into. But then, a mysterious truck driver captures the group and takes them to a haunted diner in order to keep them prisoners.
SE11: Both Wendy’s stress towards life in general and Tambry’s “monthly pain” get the best of them. So much so that Wendy gains weather powers and Tambry turns into an overreacting ugly creature that runs loose! The boys must team up with Wendy’s working peers in order to stop the situation.
SE12 (pre-series finale): School is right around the corner, for registration at Gravity Falls High has just started. The whole gang is devasted at this, but their devastation turns into panic as strange creatures invade the town and things become much, much weirder than usual.
SE13 (SERIES FINALE): The Weirdmageddon has been stopped by Robbie, Wendy and the Mystery Shack gang. However, before Dipper and Mabel leave Gravity Falls, Wendy decides to prepare a surprise that will require her and the teenage gang to move all through the town in one last summer adventure together.

“You know how to say ‘I missed you’ in elephant language?”
A year or so ago I was remembering the Bob the Builder special A Christmas To Remember. When doing that, I just couldn’t help but compare the story role of Bob and Tom’s toy elephant, Jumbo, with that of Rick’s wooden moose in one of my all-time favorite movies, The Mitchells vs. the Machines (I gave that moose the fan-nickname of “Gulpi” by the way, considering the elephant had a name).
Firstly, both toy animals symbolize the connection (ba-dum-tss) that the main pair —Bob and Tom on one hand, Rick and Katie on the other— had on the past. They also symbolize that said connection, no matter how far away one of them might be in the present (whether at the North Pole or at film school), will still be present among the two pairs.
On another note, Jumbo and Gulpi are also presented to the viewer in similar ways. When they first appear in a video recording, one thinks they're just a simple toy (case of the elephant) or an object that a main character has just forgotten about over the years (case of the moose, as Katie first thought of giving it away forgeting how it had helped her back at camp). However, when they appear on another recording later, the view towards them changes drastically: an accident with Jumbo led to Bob conning his famous “Can we fix it?” phrase and Rick took Gulpi as a reminder of the wooden house he had to sacrifice in order to raise Katie. In other words, both elephant and moose represent objects that, at first, don't seem to be that relevant story-wise, but become so via a revelation done through recordings.
It was based on the previous thoughts that I made these two memes, which I publish here before Christmas comes to a close these days.
Oh, and before I forget, both Mitchells and A Christmas have another similarity. The two have renowned Mexican voice actor José Antonio Macías (known for voicing James in Pokemon, Captain America, Bert in Sesame Street and many other characters) doing a secondary role. In Mitchells, he's Mark Bowman, and on Bob, he's non-other than Elton John.

My Potential Projects 1: “Chicken Little Hard-Headed”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Alternative Title: Chicken Licken Hard-Headed (UK)
Latin Spanish Title: La nueva Chicken Little (The New Chicken Little)
Production done at Walt Disney Television Animation
Direction and Writing: Mark Dindal, Rodrick
Producer: Randy Fullmer
Writing based on the original script/draft for Chicken Little (2005) by Mark Dindal and Randy Fullmer
youtube
youtube
youtube
Character Design: Omar Lozano
Character design adapted from Omar Lozano's illustrations for the graphic novel Far Out Fables: Chicken Little Saves The Moon Base, by Benjamin Harper (published by Stone Arch Books)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In a world of talking animals, 12-year-old (and 6 acorns tall) Chicken Little's overactive imagination and proneness to panic attacks have made her an outcast at home and in her hometown of Barnyard Warnyard. Her father, Randall Rooster, just wants to have a regular kid like everyone else, which most of the time leads to her questioning about being a "freak" due to how often she seemingly witnesses vampires, ghosts, aliens and monsters lurking around. Because of this, Hailey Hen, Chicken Little's mother, has to constantly keep her husband in line so as to avoid Little from wrongly believing that he doesn't love her after all.
At Barnyard Warnyard Middle School, things are even harder for Little, as a group of bullies led by Foxy Loxy and also formed by troublemaker Goosey Loosey, nerdy Ducky Lucky and airheaded Henny Penny (who often makes the other three wonder why did they included her in the group to begin with) doesn't stop reminding her of how much of an outcast she is. Principal Owl Powell isn't also of help either, as he also sees her as crazy. But then things take a turn for the worst.
Tumblr media
One day, Chicken Little gets hit on the head by an acorn and thinks it's a piece of the sky, so she runs from one end of Barnyard Warnyard to the other yelling with all her might "The sky is falling! The sky is falling!". All of the townspeople freak out at this warning. Soon enough Little has unintentionally incited civil unrest across the town, so much so that she almost destroys it. After discovering it was just an acorn what started it all, everyone is angry at Chicken Little for raising a false alarm. Thus, almost all of them (including Mayor Turkey Lurkey himself) force her to shape up in order to avoid another incident.
Tumblr media
Pressured by this, Little convinces her parents to sign her up at Camp Yes-U-Can, a summer camp set outside of Barnyard Warnyard and meant to improve self-esteem on animal young ones. To her dismay, Foxy and company end up going as well, and the bullying towards her isn't stopped. Despite this, Little is comforted at camp after meeting other outcast animals from across the land that also have challenges of their own. 
Cygrus "Ugly Duckling" Mallard is a down-to-earth bird from the Pondey Ponds town. He was adopted from the local orphanage by Mrs. Mallard, who already had ducklings of her own. Nowadays, Cygrus is constantly bullied by them (as they don’t take the fact he’s a swan very seriously) and by his school peers. He feels different from the rest and can’t wait for the day on which, according to what his mother always tells him, he will become a beautiful swan.
Runt of the Litter is the smallest of twelve pig siblings and now weights 700 pounds. Still, he sees himself as a “wee, helpless little pig” because of his constant comparisons with his other brothers and sisters, who (believe it or not) are way more colossal than him. However, despite his low self-esteem, he is very open to meeting new friends.
Tumblr media
Lane “Black Sheep” Flock is a rebellious yet friendly ewe who isn’t seen well by her upper class parents and relatives. She’s one of those animal young ones who prefer hanging out with friends rather than going to an important family reunion. Because of the pressure her family puts her into, she wishes to know if she should just be herself or get used to their fancy lifestyle.
Fish Out of Water is very silly and playful, but not completely accustumed to the lifestyles from dry land yet. The whole fish family, being the parents very prestigious scientists, have moved from their ocean hometown in order to study the behavior of terrestial animals. At land, Fish has problems socializing with other animal young ones. While, for example, sea animals play ball by letting it float in order for another player to catch it, at land one’s supposed to toss the ball directly. Fish hasn’t still get accustumed to this and other aspects from terrestial culture, and is viewed as a weirdo by the land kids. 
Chicken Little gets really well with those animals, who understand her worries as a whole. However, she soon realizes the bullying from Foxy Loxy will be the least of her problems there, as the three sheep who are camp counselors may not be what they seem. She discovers they, led by Counselor Matt, are cooking up a very evil plan for the end of the summer. Thus, she will have to use a lot of courage in order to foil them. But she isn’t alone. Will Little and her new friends obtain the fruits of their personal growth in time to save the day?
