He doesn't have one anymore so I'm not sure. Anyway, the project looks pretty cool, though the character modeling could definitely use some polishing.

What is with that pet (dog?), though? It is very creepy and looks poorly done next to the kid and especially the Mom in the photo of the three. It all looks pretty good, so far.

Bit confused about the so called 'dicotomy' a child/baby at that age would have absolutely no perception of what is ugly or pretty , I don't think they'd even have properly established focused eye sight at the age of the child and would be more likely to make a 'choice' from being stimulated by colour, sound and tactile surfaces. Ugly/pretty is a concept, not a dicotomy. Looks like a lot of hard work and skill has gone into this 'Pixaresque' short so far.

This sounds like it could be a real eye opener and a great learning tool. This just might make it into my library as well. Thanks to you Roland.
