Man, I have been looking for these little animations for ages! I used to watch them on tv back in SA - we probably got to see more European and English cartoons than North American ones, so I've been trying to remember them all. They're done by Italian animator Osvaldo Cavandoli in the 70's & 80's. More info on the series can be found here.
Altho, I must admit, I don't think they aired this particular episode...
I learned my lesson from last semester - press harder...or use darker pencils :-P
The final assignment was to animate a character performing an action, set to music.
For this one, we had to use limited animation using UPA - style characters for a 2-person dialogue.
Our first quadroped walk...this took a loooooong time to do. It's also the only animation that I've done for the entire semester that I don't completely cringe at.
