Part 1/6 - The Framing Device (The Family)        Part 2 - Style | 3 - The Sicilian Assassins | 4 - Buttercup and Westley | 5 - The Prince and the Count | 6 - Florin CastleAround two years ago for my final year of college, I was required to pick an existing story to imagine as an animated adaption. So to make sure it could hold my attention for a whole year, of course I chose The Princess Bride. Let’s start with the grandson from the movie is all grown up telling the story to his own kids. The Dad’s design is inspired by Fred Savage, who played the grandson in the movie, combined with a softness and reliably dorky impression that the project calls for. The book talks about the author’s father and his own son while the movie depicts a grandfather and grandson. But the Princess Bride is a story that has something for everyone, it’s not just for little boys. The two children express the idea, further driving it home with their differing personalities — The Princess Bride is for Everyone.Side note: I needed something to tie their designs together and keep them cohesive, so I thought bears might be a funny way to do it (please get the joke) For the kids’ bedroom, I wanted to eliminate the barrier of bed and chair so that a growing closeness between the father and his kids could be literally depicted as the series progresses. I took cues from retro interior design (wood panelling, colours, etc.) and modern design (light wood, shelving/divider, platform, etc.) to create something contemporary but would carry with it a nostalgic undertone. -- source link
