Well my friend, the line is from the movie named "Royal Tenenbaums" which starring Gene Hackman and Ben Stiller. And the voice in this animation is Gene Hackman's voice. :)

By the way, thanks but I don't drink beer.
Except here :beer:

Alright bud, sweet ani, saw this quite a while ago now and it looked sweet then. Not sure if you've tweaked the animation since then or just had it rendered, but the render ads a nice feel to it. However, i think the render is a bit dark especially when the puplis dissapear into the shadow. I think this hides a certain amount of the acting, and doesn't let us read the character fully.

Nevertheless, another fine acting peice by JL :thumbsup:

You ask and we supply!

Here's a lighter version - hopefully you can see the pupils a lot easier now - I've tested this out on several monitors and two TVs and it looks fine now I hope.

Click here for the new movie (http://www.alexyork.co.uk/LEE/Final-Movies-Compressed/Ziggy-DivX-Lighter.avi)
1.5mb DivX the same as the old one

Cheers!
