60 Second Animation Treatment blog

I plan to make a 60 second flash animation about a fish and a worm under the water. The fish is constantly trying to eat the worm and the worm is always one step ahead of the fish. I have several influences in the reasons why I'm doing this animation. I'm a big fan of the golden age of cartoons(cartoons from the late 50's-60's). My cartoon will be highly influenced by cartoon greats such as Tom and Jerry, Looney Tunes, Roadrunner, and the list goes on. I think these cartoons are great because it doesn't matter how old they are or whether the audience watching is old or young everyone can watch them together. I want age to not really be a factor when watching my cartoon. The art direction that I am taking is going to highly resemble my influences such as a Bugs Bunny Cartoon, crisp lines, bright and warm colors in order to project a happy mood. I want it to look like it came out of the Looney Tunes era of cartooning. I will only have two main characters which I described above. Which will be a fish and a worm on a hook. The fish in my eyes will resemble Elmer Fudd, Tom, the coyote or daffy duck. The worm will take on the feel of a Bugs bunny, Tweety bird, Jerry or the roadrunner. One always trying to cause pain(the fish)and one dishing out the pain but doesn't really want to(the worm).
