I missed this challenge last year, so much like my massive Hooptober⁸ list, I've opted to do Ani-MAY-tion II AND also the prompts from Ani-MAY-tion I, because I'm delusional. Genuinely insane. Real no life behavior.
But goddammit I love animation.
Thank you Niall for creating this challenge! It's awesome.
