Two films later I reworked the script another 4-5 times and out it came. The idea comes from seeing so many parents who over-control their kid's lives. I think it cripples a kid's ability to tackle life's challenges.

I used Adobe Illustrator to design the characters and After Effects to create the marbled look of the fabrics. I animated in Moho using a cutout style that I think works well with a fable.

I had a lot of fun thinking up the various sock washing methods for the contestants. Ask yourself who should win the contest if each child succeeds at their endeavor without outside help.

Because there are so many characters, I had to get outside help with the voices. My cast came through for me and really add to the personality of the characters.
