Good sketch. Looking forward to seeing the animation.

Maybe get in touch with the Roger Hargreaves estate and see if they'll animate the piece for you. Then again, maybe not...

Roger Hargreave's son and widow sold the rights to Mr Men to Chorion for £28 million a few years ago. Chorion also bought the rights to most of Enid Blyton's works for £21.3 million and started replacing the word 'queer' with 'odd', and 'I say' with 'hey' and various other acts of butchery.
