(ONE person on YouTube has been reposting my Larrikins art— which I have to constantly file copyright complaints to take them down. Luckily YouTube follows suit and takes down the videos, but I’ve had to file it about three times in the past year)
I watched a short film called "Bilby", and it was pretty interesting! So I drew the main character of the short film, Perry (which I found out his name on a larrikins wiki article)!
Too bad DreamWorks cancelled that Larrikins movie a few years back.
We’re getting a trailer for the movie in about a week.
Who made the movie?
The film, which had been made under the working title of Meet the Gillmans, is directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Kirk DeMicco (Vivo, The Croods, Space Chimps) and produced by Kelly Cooney Cilella (Bilby, Trolls World Tour). Faryn Pearl (storyboard artist on The Croods: A New Age, Trolls World Tour) is co-directing.
I know those movies aren't most populations favorites but I'll wait for the trailer. I expect it to be on a funny and silly side.
Voice cast:
Lana Condor (She was in those terrible To all the boys movies.), Toni Collette (I haven't seen anything she was in.), Annie Murphy (I haven't seen anything she was in.), Sam Richardson (A comedian actor who was in so unfunny productions like Velma and HouseBroken.), Liza Koshy ( I know nothing about her or her work.), Will Forte (Again, I know nothing about him or his work.), Colman Domingo (He's fine. I never watched anything he was in.), Jaboukie Young-White (He was in the Disney's Strange World as a token gay.), Blue Chapman (Blue is a trans boy who is best recognized for his role in the series Council of Dads where he plays a transgender character named JJ. By the way he's only 13 and was way younger when transitioning! I don't care if it's offensive to you. It is creepy and wrong!), Eduardo Franco (He's an actor known for his comedic roles and being in Stranger Things. I haven't seen anything he was in.), Ramona Young (I haven't seen anything she was in.), Echo Kellum (He's apparantly a comedian and was on Arrow. You know, that terrible CW show.), Nicole Byer (Unfunny comedian I've never heard before with a terrible book.), and Jane Fonda (The bitch who called for the murder of Pro-Lifers.).
So what? The voice actors are their own individuals with their own opinions. Just because an actress is a piece of human garbage doesn't mean the whole company shares her views. And it's not like a movie will be talking about her political opinions.
It's a great opportunity to see if those people are any good. It's the script that matters! But the history of the cast isn't getting my hopes up or fill me with any excitement. As long as they'll say their lines and won't be too annoying it will be fine.
I want to say this. Even though I'm pro life and don't agree with transitioning kids who are way too young to know the consequences of their actions I would never call for murder or any harm for those people.
What's the story?
The story follows a shy 16-year-old named Ruby Gillman (Condor) who learns that she is the next in a legendary line of royal sea krakens. Despite her lofty destiny, all Ruby wants to do is fit in. At school, she falls for a skater-boy that she’s tutoring who shows no indication of feeling the same way about her. Ruby struggles even more to fit in because her mother (Collette) forbids her from going to the beach with any would-be friends. But when Ruby decides to disobey her mom’s instructions, she learns that she’s descended from the warrior kraken queens and will one day ascend to her grandmother’s throne (Fonda) as the Warrior Queen of the Seven Seas.
In the film, the krakens are a race sworn to protect the world’s oceans from the vain, power-hungry mermaids, and the two sides have been battling for eons. The generational confrontation comes to a head when a popular mermaid named Chelsea enrolls at Ruby’s school.
I really hope this movie won't go the ''Pretty girls are mean and superficial. I'm shy and not like the other girls. That boy just has to learn to not judge by the appearances.'' I believe that Dreamworks is better than that and will make great deconstruction of that trope. In The Croods New Age they had the chance to make stupid love triangle drama but didn't.
I'm worried about the lack of male characters. The plot only talks about female mermaids and queen krakens. No mention of males even in art. I hope it won't be the case that males don't transform because that would be such a waste.
I hope it's reliable. But if it's just some fun made think and I got played well I guess only time will tell. And if that's the case I will just make another post.
Turqealla Bixie: This is my DreamKeeper Fursona’s familiar/best friend: Turqealla Bixie, she’s a Bilby Pixie hybrid DreamKeeper who also has electric dream powers like my DK Fursona does too, only her halo and electric dream powers are yellow green, I originally colored her halo: turquoise and her electric dream power in her left hand: teal… until I realized in hindsight while I was making this on my physical mixed media sketchbook, that I probably should’ve colored the halo and electric dream power on her left hand: yellow green on my DreamKeeper OC drawing on actual paper, so I decided to recolor her halo and electric power yellow green digitally on my phone, since I can’t physically erase traditional art-color like how I can with digital art-colors obviously, I was inspired by Fidget from the indie game: Dust: An Elysian Tail and the looney tunes femme fatale: Lola Bunny for Turqealla’s size, her Lola Bunny-tuft hairstyle, and her sexy hourglass anatomical design, and I was also mainly inspired by Dreamworks’ Bilby animated short to make her Part Bilby, and the Disney Fairytale mascot: Disney’s Tinkerbell to make her Part Pixie even though Tinkerbell is a fairy despite Peter Pan calling her sparkling dusty magic: Pixie Dust, which does sometimes make me wonder if Disney’s Tinkerbell in Disney Fan Theory-Wise is actually a Pixie or a Fairy-Pixie Hybrid, but then again: Disney’s Peter Pan does call Tink’s magic: Pixie Dust in that 1953 era disney film, which I’ll admit in hindsight would explain my reason to make a mashup of Pixie and Bilby which later inspired me to give my DK-OC’s last name: Bixie, while also making up a mashup of turquoise and teal that inspired me to give her the first name: Turqealla too of course, plus I’m already working on drawing her with my DK-Fursona too currently, I’ll admit that the digital yellow green color has already made some transparent spots around her transparent halo and pixie wings a bit opaque, but I hope you folks like my new DreamKeeper OC anyway, that’ll now become Husky Lemur’s Familiar/Best Friend nowadays I tell ya' folks what.

Today's Save the Bilby art is of Perry from the Dreamworks' short film "Bilby," using the puppet Bob Bilby from "Bluey," to play with his adopted daughter!
These cute little guys are bilbies, an endangered species that need our help for their continued survival! If you'd like to help; the Save the Bilby Fund will have all donations matched on March 20th starting at 9am (AEST)! Every little bit will help, and USD happens to be worth a little more in AUD too if you're in the US!
