10:40 - Old-time religion

Reading through this bizarre story on homebuilding kingpin Tom Hignite and his kooky back-porch animation studio, together with the video clips of what it has come up with, I just have to say:
It's almost worth it just to get to see just a few more seconds of nice, crisp, on-ones classic 2D Disney-style feature-grade animation.
Almost.
Even leaving aside the whole "Christian-based" angle, what really weirds me out is how the guy's childlike optimism somehow convinced him that people would respond favorably to transparently, pointlessly derivative concepts like "Miracle Mouse", or that they would ever see the whole effort as anything but a giant publicity stunt for a construction company.
Must be a hell of a trip to live in Wisconsin and see ads like this on TV, though.
Via Cartoon Brew.
