I have got a crown, got a very nice one and its here on my head, look at it - King Julien, Madagascar 1


Tim Ingersoll, animation trainer at DreamWorks Animation and an awesome artist and magician, created caricatures for all of the Indian artists who were trained by him.

The first dialog I animated was a test shot of King Julien from Madagascar 1 and the dialog was something like this -

'I have got a crown, got a very nice one and its here on my head, look at it.'

The line almost became a pet-peeve for most of us who were there for training and I kept getting snapped at for saying that line over and over again.

Thanks Tim for the cartoon and the crown. Cheers!
