Fester Fish - Fester Goes Fishing

Fester Fish heads down to the lake for some good old-fashioned fishing,
with unforeseen consequences.

Fun facts:
*This cartoon took 8 months to make-- 2 months of pre-production, 6 months of animation.
*I considered calling this cartoon "Fester's Poseidon Adventure."
*I like Fleischer cartoons.

Your music is just as good as your animation! I'm not really a music guy, but I love adding it into things, as far as now I just work with friends on anything music related, but, as someone considering it, how hard would it be trying to get into doing music with very little experience?

@NEWdumbich123455432 Thanks, I'm glad you like my music. It's not too hard to get started doing music, the hard part is getting good at it! It does help to know a bit of music theory, but I don't use notation or sight-reading for my cartoon music. I suggest just getting an instrument (probably keyboard since it's the most versatile) and messing around with it. Depending on what your goal is, you might want to take music lessons.

This is not only stunning animation, but the trollface I found was very inspirational, like an easter egg hunt.

@TheSurfaceofTheMoon Haha, glad you enjoyed that. I like putting little things like that in my cartoons to keep myself interested, since it takes so long to make them.

I simultaneously love and hate the fact you makes this by yourself. I love it because of the quality and creativity but hate that fact that it'll take months to produce a new short. If corporate america can hear me right now, we demand a Fester Fish/Space Goose television show. Please offer Aaron Long $1,000,000 to produce 12 half hour cartoons and give him a studio. Deliver our demands or we will storm The White House and eat it brink by brick.

You're a Cartoon Genius!

fester's voice reminds me a little of mr. plinkett from redlettermedia

[NEWdumbich123455432]

@aalong64 Awesome, thanks! I have a key board so I just need to seek out music lessons. How long do you think it takes until you start getting the idea of it?

Oh my god, I saw sooo many classic cartoon references (classic meaning Popeye-era cartoons)
