Kip and Kyle

Jeff Chiba Stearns' first animated film created in 2000. Through the use of expressive classical animation, Kip and Kyle captures the excited gestures of two enthusiastic boys playing with toy cars in a sandbox. Recorded in an actual kindergarten classroom, the film was animated straight ahead directly onto paper with only a black ink pen.

how can someone with that bad handwriting draw so well?

@NikkiAndSamShow336 Haha! The titling in the film was supposed to look like it was written by a Kindergarten kid. That's why the 'e' is written backwards! All the best!

never thought black pen animations could feel so real and life-like.

@NikkiAndSamShow336 lol. besides Hapanimation's answer lots of really good artists have horrible handwritting. I don't understand it either but I see it all the time. My drawings tend to be better than my handwritting for some reason. not that i'm a great artist or anything, don't practice enough to be. lol.

It'd really suck if someone violated the copyright legally because the e was backwards...
