Hi friends!

YouTube video by Chris Hendricks The Town that Cried Wolf - World Premiere

My short film is now up on YouTube publicly for everyone to see! Please check it out... this was a passion project, and it means a lot to me:

youtu.be/Mdj-t5jImeI

For the first time ever, I watched The Nightmare Before Christmas last night.

I'm sorry, fans... I think it's overrated.

The movie has tremendous amounts of style, visual creativity, and good songs. But I found hardly any substance in it. I just didn't care about any of the characters (even Jack).

That answer ignores the social dynamics of a virtual world.

That's a great answer.

Cheating in a multiplayer space, even for cosmetic items, creates an undesirable social dynamic, harming the experience of players who got those items legitimately and those who can't get them at all.

YouTube video by Chris Hendricks 20 Memories for Club Penguin's 20th Anniversary

It's Club Penguin's 20th anniversary. Words can't express how grateful I am to have been part of it.

But words can try. Today's Club Penguin video is going to have a lot of memories: youtu.be/ULjO6yaRAgM

#ClubPenguin20th #ClubPenguin20 #WaddleOn

Oh that is NASTY.

You know, the Internet might be a shadow of the hopeful, optimistic place it felt like in decades past, but at least there are fewer pop-up ads.

I'm working on a new video for Friday! (This week marks the 20th anniversary of Club Penguin. Yes, really.) 🐧

Day 9 - "Heavy": It's "Jar Jar Sphinx", the Egyptian sphinx with Jar Jar Binks' head Day 10 - "Sweep": Chimney sweeps from Mary Poppins in a choreographed dance

Day 11 - "Sting": a shaded scorpion Day 12 - "Shredded": Shredder, the villain from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, is shredding documents while saying "Those pesky turtles will never find out about my massive TAX FRAUD!"

And then days 9-12:

#inktober #inktober2025

Day 5 - "Deer": a heavy black and white-shaded male deer head Day 6 - "Pierce": a shaded pencil "piercing" through the paper it was drawn on

Day 7 - "Starfish": a fish parent telling their child to go to bed because the starfish are out Day 8 - "Reckless": a monster of some kind driving backwards tilted on two wheels.

I have been doing these every day, honest! I just haven't been uploading. Here are the next four:

The Town that Cried Wolf A short film that asks "What if, after the boy cried 'wolf', the rest of the town started doing it too?"

My short film, the Town that Cried Wolf, is 90-95% finished. I need to make the credits, which means that the Late Pledges on the Kickstarter needs to be shut down. If you wanted to get in on that, this is your last weekend to do so: www.kickstarter.com/projects/scr...

1 - MUSTACHE: a wizard with no beard but a ridiculously long mustache 2 - WEAVE: a failed knitting project on two knitting needles, with a stickman unimpressed, saying "This is not a scarf"

3 - CROWN: Prince John putting on his crown from Disney's Robin Hood (1973) 4 - MURKY: Pointillism clouds of murk and dust

I've been doing Inktober this year. Let's see if I actually manage to do all of the days.

Here are the first four:

#inktober #inktober2025

There is. They have a secret network called "the light web".

Also my reaction.

Is there anyone else in Western animation doing amazing turnarounds like this? It often feels like he's responsible for every single one...

Two protesters. One looks angrily at the other, who has a sign that says "I'm not protesting, I just like to hold up signs"

Ooh, that's a good question. It technically could be me, as I certainly played it in 2000. It also could be his brother Chris (who was also heavily involved with Club Penguin's development).

AI companies don't care if we finish the thing we want to do. They get money because consumers have flashy ideas of something that they want to make without much effort. It doesn't matter if the idea works; AI's already earned its money from "helping" you.

2. Let's say that coming up with the idea was the hardest part. Either AI will have bugs building what you need it to build (and then you won't know how to fix them because you didn't build it), or AI will do it perfectly, which meant that someone else already figured out how to do your "new idea".

So, I get these YouTube ads that promise that if I can imagine a website, AI can build it for me. Because, after all, "coming up with the idea is the hardest part".

1. No, coming up with the idea isn't the hardest part. The hardest part is FINISHING THE THING YOU'RE WORKING ON.

I love it!

"It wasn't me! My older sibling was impersonating me, I swear!"

Yes, the same universe that has “Chee-zed-Its” and Oh Calorie soda 😆

A full six drawings between when the arrow hits the hat and when John reacts. Superb acting all around.

I wonder if there's an alternate universe where the breakfast cereal is called "Cheeri-zeroes"?

Yeah, that too! It's tough to remember that the thing I'm sick of working on some days is brand new for other people.

I don't know if I could properly convey how much of my job in a creative field is spent going:
- "I hope this works."
- "Trust the process."
- "Will the end product be as good as it is in my head?"

This, followed by the joy when, after many scribbled out lines or misplaced notes, it works.
