I love turtles. Gigantic eyes set behind a birdy-like beak, and always so slow like they just woke up. I made a paper-mation cartoon about a turtle once when I was at the Art institute. It was a collaborative project where each person created a character before developing a story. Needless to say the story was random at best. The turtle lived inside a tree and was throwing a party for a robot and a super-hero friend. He ends up fighting an alien who crash-lands his ship into the turtle's house. I lost the original footage but I still have the original puppet somewhere.
