Another installment of Izzy’s creativity. Last time it was stop-frame animation. This time it consists of taking one of Stephen Appleby’s superb cartoons literally…

What she wanted, though, was to tell some stories about the adventures of Monster Potatohead — or “Bob” as he’s been officially named. Here he is with Izzy and a puppy on a farm in West Bengal, India:

I look forward to the further adventures - perhaps he’ll meet Mighty Mouse in another animated spectacular sometime. Roll on another wet weekend…

Here’s an animation that my girlfriend’s nine-year-old daughter, Izzy, filmed one rainy Friday afternoon. She made Mighty Mouse from scratch, then directed his adventure through our living room in search of whatever a mighty mouse might be after.
