A boy walking down the alleyway stumbles across a very tasty well made huckleberry pie on the highest window cile of a building. He wants to munch down on it, but it's so high off the ground. So he tries to jump up and get it and things sure do happen.
After seeing the Lackadasiy pilot film I was aroused with an unprecedented amount of joyous jealousy, and that jealousy then sparked something in me to make another film. I came up with the story in just 2 weeks and it was inspired by an old richard williams commercial for beer where it was reminiscent of the "tex avery" cartoons and a yogi bear cartoon "pie-pirates". This was the first film I made that was storyboarded with 5 x 8 index cards. The film was fully written and the characters were designed before hand, as I would halt this off to make Landlumber first and production on this film started in late July.
