Monkey Rag

Recently I stumbled across a really cute little animation. The style is lovely, and the character designs are gorgeous and the backgrounds are beautifully done. In other words I love it. The use of style is so well done in this, having such a bouncy sound track gave this animation so much life. The use of colour is amazingly well done, each complementing each other and the backgrounds.  I love the old fashioned look to this animation, as I am a massive fan of the 1950's this was right up my street. 

They was the animation has been made is really interesting, Joanna Davidovich the creator of the animation, made a behind the scene's.  Where she explains how she went about the animation process. She began by drawing the characters by hand on hundreds of pieces of paper, and then went on to add colour, sound and background digitally. 

 The characters she created for the animation are called Mitzi and Spanky, she designed and created them herself.  Here are some reference sheets for the both of them.
