After watching some films with my sister I re-evaluated  my idea, we watched Toy story together, and I noticed giving voices to inanimate objects such as toys was also a good idea to go for. To further develop the idea from creature comforts and bipedal creatures I decided that the type of object I'd like to focus on was off a stuffed animal. Doing this I could create a character who's similar in appearance to a creature comfort character and embody the idea of an object as well.



This is an idea that has been done in many various media's, but due to its nature none more that light family fun or humour. The character of Ted comes to mind, from the creators of family guy a cartoon notorious for its adult take on humour through stereotype exploits.

Ted I find to be interesting because it gives a lighthearted view on how a dynamic between a person and his childhood toy might play out, in someway it could even be viewed as a sequel to Toy story. which brings me back to another character, Lots-O'-Huggin' Bear. Like Ted he's a teddy bear and a mean one at that. His character comes from the negative experiences he's had with humans. Where Teds has been somewhat enjoyable Lotso's hasn't been. And it's this experience I want to capture in lip-syncing, the dynamic between Toy or object and person, so I thought what better way to do this than have my setting based in a psychiatrists office?




I thought it would quite amusing to see a stuffed animal have his views expressed to an audience, possibly in a scene where he talks to himself. So this was the premise I now will have to develop a character and a script to accompany him.
