Story Ideas

Ok, so these are not well fleshed out and most of them probably aren't manageable for this project (we'd probably need to build all our own rigs and such), but here's the ideas I've thought up. Maybe these will inspire or be so utterly rejected as to give the rest of you ideas.

• Taking a short folk/mythology/traditional story and animating it. A lot of these are fairly short and simple, and it would save having to create our own story completely from scratch. I prefer more obscure mythologies (Norse, Native American, etc), but whatever might be interesting to you all. We could also do a new interpretation or twist on a tale. I will try to bring some in for examples if I can find anything.


• Something about endangered animals. Perhaps a story about a specific creature fighting the odds in it's environment. Specific tales might be: numbats in Australia and how they've been decimated by foxes, the "saving" of species such as Arabian Oryx and Przewalski's Wild Horse by careful breeding and management, or the extinction of the carrier pigeon due mainly to over hunting.


• A "cute" short about an animal that is commonly feared. For example: wolves, bats, pumas, snakes, etc.

Clearly I'm not good with humor, (the only idea there is a musk deer with an identity crisis), so feel free to suggest other options. I also have a thing for animals, so I have a hard time coming up with stories about people. Discuss.
