Softies Throw a Stop Motion Animation Party

Therese Laskey over at Softies Central has a book out. It’s called Softies. No surprises there. But her book will appeal to folks who dig plush toys, naturally, because it deals with how to create your own. It comes with patterns and directions for twenty-five different softies from an equal number of designers. Chronicle Books created this video to promote the book’s release. It’s kinda like a pilot for a kids show by Harryhausen…except, you know, totally different.

If you like what you see, you can clickthrough to buy Therese’s book here.

It’s the breakdancing bit that really elevates this.
