A G.I. Joe Tribute to “The Thing”
When you’re a kid, playing with dolls and action figures is a great world-building exercise. The toys provide a nice jumping-off point, leaving it up to your imagination to create the characters, story, weather, and terrain. Your living room becomes a massive green screen where amazing vistas can be mentally painted in. When I see clever animations like this featuring toys from my childhood, it strikes something in my creative core. It realizes the fantasy I had that my toy figures would come to life and embark on extraordinary adventures.
