Description
Join best friends Timothy and Gregg as they go on a hike up the tallest peak in the seemingly benign Twilight Mountains! However, their experiences while on their way up prove to be a mountain to climb...This is my second proper animated short, and fourth animation overall. This animation was conceived in the early Summer of 2007, but could not feasibly be made because of my lack of skill with Flash at the time so I had to shelve it until further notice. When I did start work on it again, I redrew all of the backgrounds and changed some of the story to get what I have finished here. Spent just over three weeks of work on this, and it's paid off considerably since the last animation I made.

I only seem to hear it in those Twilight films. This short was made in 2008, so it would have been before the overkill

I can imagine King Of The Hill's Hank Hill invent a new pitch for his propane sale after watching this movie.
"Propane is also useful for protection against ravaging birds, can coal do that?"
Great movie by the way.

I have backpacked before, and I admit, it gets pretty wierd up there. I hiked up the Pecos Mts in New Mexico Last Summer, where we got amushed by Black Angus Bears.
To those outside the BSA, those are chipmunks.
...
They can be vicious! Especially when you find one in a sleeping bag!
Great job on this

I used to do big hill hikes in the Scottish Highlands when I was with the Scouts. Must be ten years ago now...

Wow! I got the artist's response! Cool!
Sorry, im new, and i've watched your stuff for a while now.
I havn't ever been to the Scottish Highlands, or to Uk for that matter. Ive heard cool things about it though. In SW United States, the opportunities for real backpacking are a little hard to get. The only way i could get into the Rockies was through my group. Very much fun!
Stil enjoy the piece!

Nice Job
p.s. i've e-mailed you an assignment to 1up your game on Newgrounds to please your fans on FurAffinity and gain new ones on Newgrounds at the same time
The site (Newgrounds) has it's fair share of amateur animators that gain popularity during their time there (TmsT, Tirrel/Cerebus)

Yeah, I know Tirrel, he's given me some handy advice in the past.

When I saw the hawk with the red eye, I thought for a moment that they might be robotic. I was expecting the fire to reveal a metallic interior or something. Also, the animation where Greg and Tim jump out of the way of the avalanche seemed a bit unpolished, but overall the animation looks like you put a lot of effort into it.
(And that's the undesired critique.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, it took a LOT of hard work on my part to make the whole thing. I guess it did look a bit off in some places like the avalanche scene, but there is only so much I can do with animating without a graphics tablet... now I'm just making up excuses!

Dood that was funny and amazing! Like i said, I love your character designs and the animation was very good.
Seems like those two have the worst luck in the world now don't they? Yet they still made it.

It shows they are lucky after all

Haha man, poor animals XD, but I'm sure all the scenes were animals were hurt were just simulated

Any real life animal suffering would be unforgivable. But then in this cartoon, it's kill or be killed!

It's great that you dedicated this to Kevin Gillis and Len Carlson. ^_^ This is another superb piece of animation.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh thank you ^^. This one was loosely inspired by The Raccoons among other shows I can't remember off the top of my head, so I thought Kevin Gillis suited it. I including Len Carlson for being the late, great voice of Bert Raccoon among others in the show.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah yes the mountains, lakes and that there's a Raccoon present was a dead giveaway.

I hope I can follow this up with something that'll be just as if not more!
