Well now folks, you’ve been waiting for a bit, so I think it’s 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 welcome…
These Dudes below!
Scroobenezer Durooge
A man that’s old, cold, and full o’ mold.
A man of indeterminate old age who’s very cold and bitter. He despises the holiday seasons. Every single one of them.
How do you pronounce his name, you ask?
Fascinating question!
———————————
Moving on to the other half of our dynamic duo, we’ve got…
Mr. Peanutbudder
He’s a gnomish Santa figure. You get it.
(Big fan of Peanut Budder™).
The polar opposite of Scroobenezer Durooge in every way, and his main foil/accomplice/rival/frenemy/parner/brother/lover/bowling ball… he’s whatever you want him to be!
———————————-
Now for…
The Jam Guidelines:
- BOTH characters must be in the cartoon, somehow.
- This is your one, and only requirement. Don’t 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 ‘Guy’ is featured in The Guy)
- Must be ‘festive’ in some form.
- Whether that be Christmas itself, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Little Candle Day, just a general snowy theme… 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 don’t get so ambitious you can’t get it done. We remind you this is the holiday season, so please don’t overstress yourselves. If you’d 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 (y’all are amazing :3), or find a musician on your own. There’s also plenty of great royalty free music to choose from!
Please submit the link to your portal entry in
THIS FORM, and use the tag “tankmas-jam-2024”
