Aesop Animatic: The Lion and The Mouse

Done for my story boarding cass.... This is on my to-polish-later que.

I decided to take some creative freedoms and did my own version of the old Aesop's Fable: The Lion and the Mouse.

In this one, we have the Mouse who notices the Lion, freaks out when he wakes, but in the face of death as the Lion taunts him, realizes that if he was going to die, it would not be begging for his life and crying. So he got to his feet and faces the lion head on. The Lion, noticing this, registers respect for the Mose and tells him "I like your spunk! We need more creatures like you around." and leaves him be.

The moral of the story is that courage is not the absence of fear, but doing what needs to be done, even though you are afraid.
