Shakey Luke just challenged me to "an animated version of (Dizzy Rascal), small and surly and made from plasticine for his i luv u video, like morph if he came from bow and wore tracksuits... " He's a funny bastad that Luke. Dizzy's "edge of tears" delivery would sound totally hilarious issuing from a 3 inch high playdough replica.
But as any fule kno you do a cartoon of a star and it wrecks their career. Animation works by taking the essence and writing it large, while pop works through the tension between the real and the caricature. Pop stars must be both preposterously improbably cool AND normal people.
I would love to see a morph style animation of Goldie for the identical reason that it would instantly puncture all the (ok now sagging) myth he's built up around himself.
