Charles Hamwey Goes Well Beyond the 16-Bit Era for Inspiration

It’s almost a constant these days: Veteran fans want a return to the classics.  That 3D recreation of Mushroom Hill Zone last year appeased a lot of them, but what if the idea of a classic went far, far the other way?

In all likelihood, you’d get what’s below.  Released earlier in the month and picked up by both Segabits and GoNintendo, the 1 minute short is reserved only for the truest nostalgia enthusiasts.  It is the work of Charles Hamwey, and according to a Tumblr post he made about the cartoon, it was made, in all things, on an iPad, using Animation Creator HD and a certain Steamboat Willie as inspiration:

It was a simple fun idea I had while playing the game epic mickey actually. I wanted to make it fast and actually get it done. Thats why I choose to animate the cartoon on an ipad. The reason for that was to limit myself and actual make something I would eventually finish. Although the ipad is not the limiting part, its the program I used on it and what it could handle.

So, get out those flappers, start doing the Charleston, and Save a Little Dram for us while you enjoy the video below.
