Steve was going to come in and give us a guest lecture at some point... hopefully now he's not too important to bother with us any more!

WOOOHOOOO! Brisi animators rock!
I started to read an article about someone who thinks its too much like fosters imaginary friend show and wants to sue. I didnt read the whole story cause I found it rediculas and wanted to punch and american.
I thought it was more like a David Firth film, but who cares there is still plenty thats original about it. I love it!
Using blue on a character is obviously a big no no. I guess that means in future we will be reprimanded for using the colour brown for bears (read yogi) or green for frogs (read kermit), yellow for birds (read tweety bird), or red for balloons (and boy are there a huge number of films with red balloons... even a song).
Maybe it's a ploy to force people to use biege in their films (it's certainly lacking in popular culture!)
I guess my idea for a dancing penguin is out too.
The similarities are superficial and the people making the comparisons are retarded. It's a great film and a good example of some of the talent here in Brisbane. Way to go Steve.
There is a GREAT response to this "controversy"by John Polson, Tropfest creator, at www.tropfest.com . It's a news item titled "The News Vs The Truth".
