00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:22.200
Oh, excuse me.

2
00:00:22.520 --> 00:00:24.520
You're a bit early, aren't you?

3
00:00:24.820 --> 00:00:26.160
I'm still in the tub.

4
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:28.160
Did we have the titles yet?

5
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:30.880
I didn't even hear the tube beep.

6
00:00:48.980 --> 00:00:55.060
Hello, I'm JP Somershalter, and this is my second cartoon cartoon.

7
00:00:55.460 --> 00:00:57.020
Sorry, I'm not dressed.

8
00:00:57.020 --> 00:00:58.680
You were a bit early.

9
00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:00.420
I'm a little late.

10
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:07.000
Unfortunately, last year I started running 10 minutes late and I still haven't caught up.

11
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:08.000
10 minutes?

12
00:01:08.240 --> 00:01:09.020
Oh darn.

13
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:11.740
And this is only a seven minute cartoon.

14
00:01:12.220 --> 00:01:14.140
Can you excuse me while I dress?

15
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:15.280
I know.

16
00:01:15.660 --> 00:01:17.860
Why not connect a few dots?

17
00:01:29.160 --> 00:01:30.660
And leave me alone.

18
00:01:30.940 --> 00:01:32.020
Have it helped me?

19
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:33.080
Back so soon?

20
00:01:33.460 --> 00:01:34.960
I'm still not ready.

21
00:01:35.340 --> 00:01:37.520
Not as young as I used to be.

22
00:01:38.020 --> 00:01:40.440
Do you realize what it takes for me to move?

23
00:01:40.900 --> 00:01:46.440
24 frames per second, one drawing every two frames, 720 drawings per minute.

24
00:01:47.020 --> 00:01:50.880
Now in my youth, well, I could really move.

25
00:01:51.380 --> 00:01:54.800
Flip, Somersault, Handspring, Hula Hoop.

26
00:01:55.600 --> 00:01:57.920
Here's a photo of me when I was young.

27
00:01:58.320 --> 00:01:59.300
Pretty good, eh?

28
00:01:59.700 --> 00:02:01.720
I was thinner then.

29
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:04.720
Now who could that be?

30
00:02:05.060 --> 00:02:06.600
Let's find out, shall we?

31
00:02:07.800 --> 00:02:09.300
Run, run as fast as you can.

32
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:10.860
You can't catch me. I'm the Chichi Bread Man.

33
00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:12.800
Run, run as fast as you can.

34
00:02:12.880 --> 00:02:14.380
You can't catch me. I'm the Chichi Bread Man.

35
00:02:14.660 --> 00:02:16.040
I wish I could do that.

36
00:02:16.340 --> 00:02:18.120
He has perfect form.

37
00:02:18.600 --> 00:02:20.620
He's a strange piece of food.

38
00:02:20.940 --> 00:02:22.000
So animated.

39
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:27.000
Of course, we had to bake 50,000 separate gingerbread men

40
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:29.240
to create those three Somersaults.

41
00:02:30.200 --> 00:02:33.540
Luckily, my partner Lillian and I love gingerbread.

42
00:02:33.900 --> 00:02:35.640
Why do you think we made that film?

43
00:02:36.440 --> 00:02:38.700
Somersaulting is hard work for an old man.

44
00:02:39.220 --> 00:02:40.500
Could you help me?

45
00:02:40.900 --> 00:02:42.540
I don't feel like drawing.

46
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:46.260
Ready, set, go.

47
00:02:46.260 --> 00:02:51.260
Well, oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.

48
00:02:51.340 --> 00:02:52.840
But enough of this nostalgia.

49
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:54.920
How was your dot connection?

50
00:02:56.040 --> 00:02:56.980
Not much luck?

51
00:02:57.580 --> 00:03:00.440
Let me show you the cartoon method, OK?

52
00:03:01.880 --> 00:03:06.500
It just takes a little imagination and some concentration.

53
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:08.620
RINGING

54
00:03:08.620 --> 00:03:10.040
Good. Good.

55
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:10.520


56
00:03:11.060 --> 00:03:11.400
Right.

57
00:03:13.500 --> 00:03:14.300
BELCH

58
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:17.260
WHISTLE

59
00:03:18.540 --> 00:03:18.960
WHISTLE

60
00:03:19.640 --> 00:03:20.060
WHISTLE

61
00:03:20.060 --> 00:03:21.580
Don't. Don't make me go.

62
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:24.000
Hey, you, you gotta get going.

63
00:03:24.380 --> 00:03:25.340
No, I can't go on. No.

64
00:03:25.760 --> 00:03:26.740
Hey, you, you, get moving.

65
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:27.460
No, no, no, no.

66
00:03:27.540 --> 00:03:28.280
Hey, you, you, get going.

67
00:03:28.320 --> 00:03:29.140
No, I'm afraid.

68
00:03:30.040 --> 00:03:31.200
Hey, you, get moving.

69
00:03:32.060 --> 00:03:32.480
WHISTLE

70
00:03:33.020 --> 00:03:33.440
APPLAUSE

71
00:03:34.980 --> 00:03:36.720
That's the beauty of filmmaking.

72
00:03:37.300 --> 00:03:41.780
You can show anything, like, for instance, my history with dots.

73
00:03:42.760 --> 00:03:46.500
I've had an interest in dotology ever since I can remember.

74
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:51.040
Of course, that was mainly due to the influence of my mother.

75
00:03:52.180 --> 00:03:54.060
Even as a tot, I connected dots.

76
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:58.320
As a toddler, I connected everything.

77
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:05.000
In third grade, the kids thought my ideas weren't really far out.

78
00:04:05.540 --> 00:04:06.740
But I didn't care.

79
00:04:07.100 --> 00:04:08.120
I had dreams.

80
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:12.520
I imagined becoming a micro-dottologist.

81
00:04:13.700 --> 00:04:15.840
Or perhaps a great teacher.

82
00:04:16.060 --> 00:04:17.580
Don't forget to dot your eyes.

83
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:23.740
I dreamt of becoming an artist, like George Sadat.

84
00:04:25.940 --> 00:04:29.480
Of finding new astronomical connections.

85
00:04:30.400 --> 00:04:34.740
Of perfecting my dots and lines and getting my doctorate.

86
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:37.120
You know, my PH dot.

87
00:04:38.440 --> 00:04:44.340
My obsession with dots became a burden to my family and threatened our home life.

88
00:04:45.500 --> 00:04:47.740
When I was 12, we moved to America.

89
00:04:48.660 --> 00:04:50.600
As a teenager, I was idealistic.

90
00:04:50.840 --> 00:04:52.780
I wanted to change the world.

91
00:04:53.460 --> 00:04:58.060
But it was my face that changed, and dots became my enemy.

92
00:04:58.840 --> 00:05:00.500
I was disillusioned.

93
00:05:00.700 --> 00:05:01.460
I rebelled.

94
00:05:01.660 --> 00:05:05.040
I even went into a disconnecting phase.

95
00:05:10.020 --> 00:05:13.180
But nothing could disconnect my love of dots.

96
00:05:13.540 --> 00:05:19.040
And I still secretly dreamed that someday I'll be dotted by the Queen.

97
00:05:21.780 --> 00:05:22.220
JP?

98
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:23.180
What?

99
00:05:23.780 --> 00:05:25.500
Oh my gosh, it's the Queen!

100
00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:27.480
Oh, it's not the Queen.

101
00:05:27.740 --> 00:05:30.340
It's my filmmaking partner, Lillian.

102
00:05:30.780 --> 00:05:32.000
Hello, Lillian.

103
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:35.860
These are my friends, the audience.

104
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:37.560
Hello, audience.

105
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:40.220
Thanks for keeping JP company.

106
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:41.440
JP, look!

107
00:05:41.900 --> 00:05:43.240
I've brought you a present.

108
00:05:43.820 --> 00:05:46.000
It's something you can really use.

109
00:05:46.640 --> 00:05:50.460
A set of dot and tods, patented body dots.

110
00:05:50.980 --> 00:05:55.780
They'll punctuate your long, slow lines and give you new vume and vigor.

111
00:05:56.200 --> 00:05:57.020
Try them on.

112
00:06:03.260 --> 00:06:05.380
Oh boy, do I feel young.

113
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:13.700
With these dots, I can transform myself into our cartoon characters.

114
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:16.580
Like Yo-Yo the Clone.

115
00:06:17.580 --> 00:06:22.440
I can even be the world's greatest inventor, the caveman who perfected the first dot.

116
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:27.620
I can really move.

117
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:34.600
It's great to be in shape.

118
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:38.720
Thank you.

119
00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:44.540
It's a message in dots and dashes.

120
00:06:45.260 --> 00:06:46.460
What does it mean, JP?

121
00:06:46.860 --> 00:06:47.720
I don't know.

122
00:06:47.940 --> 00:06:49.520
The dots have stuck to my pants.

123
00:06:49.900 --> 00:06:52.840
The dots say it's time for you to dash.

124
00:06:54.580 --> 00:06:56.520
Wow, this is great.

125
00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:59.540
I love experimental animation.

126
00:07:06.660 --> 00:07:09.220
Let's form a love connection.

127
00:07:15.960 --> 00:07:16.680
Okay.

128
00:07:24.180 --> 00:07:25.840
I'm a still cartoon.

129
00:07:26.180 --> 00:07:27.740
Can you help me some assault?

130
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:29.740
Thanks.
