After a few brainstorming and brainwrecking sessions i came up with an idea for my final major project while trying to sleep. A mixture of my childhood and the amazing comic character Calvin (& Hobbes), I thought of animating a story of a boy that hates bathtime. He imagines that there is a huge octapus in his bathroom that is very determined to wash or eat him or both. After a lot of kicking and screaming the boy loses the fight and is plunged into the bath tub with his clothes still on. In real life, it was his mum that put him in the bath tub and the octapus is just a floating bath toy.
