Well now folks, youāve been waiting for a bit, so I think itās time to reveal the theme for this Tankmas Animation Jam. Inspired by the Big Boy Rumble Tumble Jam, and Hellavision Television's The Guy, everyone, please welcomeā¦
These Dudes below!
Scroobenezer Durooge
Ā
A man thatās old, cold, and full oā mold.
A man of indeterminate old age whoās very cold and bitter. He despises the holiday seasons. Every single one of them.
How do you pronounce his name, you ask?Ā
Fascinating question!
āāāāāāāāāāā
Moving on to the other half of our dynamic duo, weāve gotā¦
Mr. Peanutbudder
Heās a gnomish Santa figure. You get it.Ā
(Big fan of Peanut Budderā¢).
The polar opposite of Scroobenezer Durooge in every way, and his main foil/accomplice/rival/frenemy/parner/brother/lover/bowling ballā¦ heās whatever you want him to be!
āāāāāāāāāāā-
Now forā¦
The Jam Guidelines:
- BOTH characters must be in the cartoon, somehow.Ā
- This is your one, and only requirement. Donāt like the characters? NO PROBLEM! Read on to the next point!
- These characters DO NOT need to be the main focus!
- They can be the main characters, characters in the background, clouds in the sky, plushies on a shelf, anything at all! The choice is yours! (for reference, check out how the titular āGuyā is featured in The Guy)
- Must be āfestiveā in some form.
- Whether that be Christmas itself, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Little Candle Day, just a general snowy themeā¦ or none of those things! If Die Hard can be a Christmas movie, who are we to judge what you find festive!
- NO Time Requirement
- Do whatever best suits you, but donāt get so ambitious you canāt get it done. We remind you this is the holiday season, so please donāt overstress yourselves. If youād like a timeframe anyways, somewhere between 15-90 seconds is a good metric to work in.
- NO COPYRIGHTED MUSIC
- We encourage people to use music from our lovely musicians from the Audio Portal (yāall are amazing :3), or find a musician on your own. Thereās also plenty of great royalty free music to choose from!
Please submit the link to your portal entry inĀ
