The Fuzzy Fella

a very very true story
Project 01

The Fuzzy Fella

You know as mad and crazy as he is, the fuzzy fella can be a bit shy at times. But the truth is, believe me, he can be brave enough and strong enough to seriously save the world. That is, if you can find him. The fuzzy fella is written with humor about something (to be revealed) that touches us all in some shape or form. As a character, this idea becomes tangible to the youngest reader. It is a very child-like story, with a twist that will warm the hearts of adults as well. Filled with rhythmic fun, the story centres on an emotion that reaches across all of humanity. To see the animated story click here.
