The purpose of this thesis is to create an animation for entertainment utilizing the computer as opposed to traditional animation. I intend to use the computer as a tool to tell a visual story rather than performing visual tricks and techniques so often found in computer animation. The animation will tell a story in which the characters will have visual appeal in order to involve the viewer. It is also possible that I may integrate some video techniques. The Genigraphics computer systems will be used incorporating both the paintbox and animation system
