Hey my name is Mikey, I'm 25 and hail from the pinetree state of Maine. I'm a certified rescue diver, a lover of heavy metal, and a hard core gamer. I have a deep love for nature and am working on my biology major.
This is not a tasty gummy sweet but a Jewel Caterpillar found in Amazon Rainforest. They are covered with sticky goo-like, gellatinous tubercles that provides protection from its predator like ants until they metamorphosise into winged moths.
Since making the first set, I’ve seen many comments being added about how animation meant so much to so many people. That it’s changed their life, their view on the world, and how it’s taught them valuable life lessons they couldn’t have learned from anywhere else. Don’t you see how important animation can be? How so many lessons, so many feelings and emotions can be carefully packaged into a twenty minute show? They’ll only continue to make our lives warp into something magnificent.
I’m probably going to get in trouble for posting this but HOLY CRAP!
I got this photo from an animator friend of mine who worked on Hercules back in the day and apparently this is the ONLY known photo of a really short test animation made to convince Nintendo to make a Legend of Zelda animated movie made by Disney Animation Studios! WHY DIDN’T THEY GO AHEAD WITH THIS?!??!
Link, along with his fairy companion, ventured into a dungeon and fought off some monsters (possibly Moblins?)
and also apparently featured a quick flash of Zelda. This was apparently some special screening around 1998
within the studio (Around the same time Ocarina of Time was released) and NEVER had a public screening.
