Animation Idea/Theme



Humpty Dumpty:
Breaking the Nursery Rhyme down, so I can get a better idea of what it means.

Humpty Dumpty: Was an important, protecting object used in War.
Sat on a wall: Guarding it's place, protecting it's people
Had a great fall: Problem, failure, injury, misjudgment, explosion
All the king's horses and all the kings men: Took a lot of effort, attempted to fix, hope, too heavy
Couldn't put Humpty together again: Not fixable, hope is lost, will never be the same again.

A mid day setting in a quite small town. A nice little house with a guard dog sitting at the door step (protector, as Humpty Dumpty). A cat walks past and starts marking it's territory on the guard dog's lawn. The dog then jumps up and chases the cat across the road (protecting it's grounds).The dog is injured and get's one of his legs amputated (injury, tried to fix him). The dog lives, just not in the same condition ("couldn't put Humpty together again").
