HappyLand - SOLD!

[Mikdog]

Hi guys. Can't find my original HappyLand thread that was pages long I may have deleted it a while back.

Some of you may be familiar with this project of mine I started around 2006. I was making a series built and animated in Anime Studio (then called MOHO). I recently sold the whole lot, including the pilot, the Alien short and all 52 short 30-seconders. Stoked.

More detail here: http://www.mikescottanimation.com/i-sold-happyland/

Here's the pilot:



Woo!

Thanks,

Mike

That is fantastic, Mike! Congratulations!
I'm really happy for you and for Happy Land, it has been inspiring all us for years

[Mikdog]

Hey Selgin, thanks man, that's a really nice thing to say.

[slowtiger]

Congrats! I'm so proud of you - looks like hard work sometimes still pays ...

[Mikdog]

Thanks slow

And thanks for all your help, showing me your suggestion for the sun bouncing helped the 'ease-in-ease-out' penny drop for me.

[Maestral]

Congrats, Mike! Nice work with happy ending / or beginning? ,)

[KenW]

Congratulations Mike,

You should be very happy to see your work in demand. Like others here i've been following your animations for years. Cheers to you!

[AmigaMan]

Congratulations from me too. That's great news
I still have my DVD of the series I bought from you. It's taken a while but it has a lot of charm so I'm not surprised someone saw value in it. Excellent!

[ulrik]

Great news! Congratulations!! You're really worth it.

[funksmaname]

Congrats dude! you will be an inspiration for new AS users (and old ones) for the rest of time. Legends will be told about 'HappyLand'. Glad I could witness it from the beginning! awesome.

It seems you are happy about selling "HappyLand" congratulations!!!

When you say Sold, do you mean someone has purchased the rights also or can you continue making more episodes?

[rlgood]

Congratulations Mike! I've watched all your Happy Land shorts on YouTube. I even left a nice comment or two. I'm very pleased to hear this good news. Happy Land is the the place to be.

Well done, Mike.

Thanks Maestral end of something, beginning of another fo' sho'.
KenW - I am pleased indeed. Thanks for following my stuff.
Amiga - Ha ha, glad you got a DVD. Thanks for buying one. There were so few of those made, I have one more left for myself.
Ulrik - thanks
Funksmaname - Ha ha. Nice. Thanks.
Sbtamu - I am indeed happy about selling HappyLand. Someone purchased the whole lot, including the IP (Intellectual Property) so I can't make more HappyLand episodes, unless the buyer contracted me out to do so. Looking through the character templates I made with loads of pre-programmed actions that cut together really nicely (the character could walk, or stop walking, or run, or jump, or go on tip-toes etc... with the click of a mouse) the buyer may decide to offer the files for sale as a learning tool perhaps. In any event, I've got some other work in the pipeline so I'm pleased to have sold HappyLand.
Rigood - Woah, you watched all of them? Nice! Thanks.
Jahnocli - Thanks buddy
