Mouse + Flash = Christmas

This early foray into Flash was based on my 1999 Christmas cards (pictured above) that featured Wenceslas Mouse, a stuffed toy from an Eaton's promotion. He is a neat little guy. He can be unzipped in the back and turned inside out, becoming a giftwrapped present!

For the snowglobe, I just cut Wenceslas out of the background and dropped him into the globe. Don't worry, he's not cold in there! The snow seemed like a good idea at the time, but it really taxed the video processors of the day.

The music was created in a great shareware app called Midigraphy and everything came together fairly easily in Flash. Everyone thought it was cute and a tradition was begun.

The goo was exhaustively tested on top fashion models to ensure the safety of our little friend.

He wears his suit desert-style and it takes care of waste for him.
