The Greedy


I recently stumbled upon something amazing. Pure animation eye-candy at its most grotesque and bizarre! Keith, my partner in art at FableVision, called me over to watch a clip on Youtube. It's a snippet—or better yet, a musical number—from the animated film Raggedy Ann and Andy: A Musical Adventure (1977). It stars a hideous gooey taffy monster called the Greedy, who is looking for a sweetheart. Keith told me he watched this as a kid. I guess I missed out in my childhood, but boy do I want to get a copy of it now so I can see the drawings in better quality. I captured a handful spectacular animation stills. Run on over to Youtube immediately (I'm too lazy to embed). You can see the Greedy clip at both of the following URLs:
