Personal Thoughts:

Make this a matter of prayer.

I want to bring back minimum dialogue 2D animation. Charlie Brown, Winnie the Pooh, Pink Panther, etc. I like the simplicity, the hand drawn style, the imperfection, and the nostalgic vibe. I don’t want to rely on computer renderings or 3D models or any of that. I am aware that this is risky, and I might not be that successful, but I have to try.
