Description
Okay, this probably should have been a Journal, but I put it in my gallery.Do you love video games? Traditional Animation? iPhones and iPads? Put all those loves together and go buy the new THE ACT iPad app game! Many Disney artists worked on this including myself a little bit! You can control the animated character's emotions/reactions/actions by the slide of your finger! I'm telling you, you've never seen anything like this!! [link]
EDIT: I almost forgot- I make a cameo appearance in the game too! Me and my former partner, Rob Corley, show up with as orderlies pushing a gurney in the hospital scene. We animated that section too. The big guy that gets into the bed is ours too! Buy and iPad and watch it! What are you waiting for?

The animation in the trailer has a great classic Disney / organic feel to it. When I saw the release on iTunes I actually wondered if you were involved. Now I know, Congrats.

This game was HILARIOUS. Easily my favorite game I've ever purchased (although I did think $3 was a teeny bit pricey for a game so short. I also finished in about a half hour.), and my husband and I played it together on the iPhone last night and were laughing out loud most of the time. I loved the beginning scene, and the scene with the cigar!
I'll be showing this around at work today. It is a breath of fresh air to see 2D animation again!

i think the game was too short for 3 dollars , i finished it in about half an hour !
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The cost is based on the MILLIONS of dollars they put into it, I'm sure. Tons of hard work by lots of people for YEARS.

It looks wonderful. I'd definitely buy it, only I don't have an Ipad or a Mac. If it's really successful, do you think it'll be ported to other systems?
And looking at the trailer, the animation is really fluid, really smooth and yet bouncy and fun. No seems to animate like that anymore. I miss that style... I'm guessing all of the animation was drawn?
You can tell a lot of love and hard work went into this. Well done to everyone who worked on this.

Lol, i remember this the expressions were wonderful my favorite part was when you had to take the cigar out of your boss's throat and when he was trying to play it up for the "girl" in the opening dream sequence. Fun stuff

You were involved in this too? Is there anything awesome you haven't contributed to?

HA. Well, I missed Lilo and Stich, All the Pixar movies, Tangled and all the Dreamworks, and Sony movies. That's a bunch of awesome right there!

Wow you worked on this? Amazing. I recall showing this off to a ton of people when I saw a video posted over on Kotaku some time back. Nice work! I can't wait to see the full thing in action.

Looks awesome! I'm glad to see it find new life; I first found out about the project from one of my coworkers (Ronnie Williford) who also worked on it, and what little I saw looked like a heck of a lot'a fun. I'd totally buy in if I had an iPhone or iPad

Nice work Tom! You should check out my professor Ryan Woodward's Bottom of the Ninth. He did something similarly awesome. [link]

I saw the trailer for this and Ryan has knocked another one out of the park! (Pun intended.) I know Ryan a bit (its been years) and I respect the guy a ton!

I'll say hi to him from you. That's way cool that you knew him. Did you guys work together?
I hope I get to meet you one day because I love your work and it inspires me.

We met at SD Comic con a few years back and we were both self publishing our own comics. His table was next to mine, so we got the chance to talk a bit. Mention me and say Hi from me.

I know! It's unfair huh. I don't have an Ipod or Ipad. I would love to have both of these amazing creations but I won't buy a whole expensive device just for them.

Shoulda known you worked on this. I've seen demo's and pictures of the very few cabinets that were made, and it looked awesome. Pity it didn't take off.
