The inspiration to tell this story was founded as I started the second semester of my senior year. As a design and animation student, the workload was heavy and seemed to be constant. It was by learning the value of being determined and steadfast that I found peace during that time of chaos. The Tortoise and the Hare is a classic story about the importance of taking things slow, yet steady to reach your goals. This storybook animation is charming and simple, with a good message to boot!
