Cows in Animation: Not a Cow!

Alright, so things didn't quite go as I wanted, I wanted this to be a weekly thing. I shouldn't have started this right before I moved. But it will get going, I will finally be settled in and things will slow back to normalcy. Unfortunately, I've had a disaster strike earlier today; my snake, Kiba, was dying. He might still be... I'm not sure. When I took him in at 5, he was limp and hardly breathing. He had lost 700g since his last vet visit a mere two months before. Dr. Funk gave him some fluids and some meds to try and help him, but he's still struggling. He can move his head again, but his lower half is still dead weight. I'm hoping against all odds that he pulls through. So tonight, the animation spotlight will not be on a cow. Instead, we will do one of my favorite animated snakes; Sir Hiss, from Disney's Robin Hood.



Sir Hiss was always one of my favorites because even though he was one of the "bad" guys, he always seemed loveable, and you knew that part of him didn't want to be there, didn't want to be serving the awful prince John. He was very much the fool character, the big loser, but you loved him for it. Even at the very end, clothed in jailor stripes and working a quarry, Sir Hiss could still find reason to chuckle (at John's expense!) Sir Hiss was clever as well, my favorite scene will always bee the one where he blows up a balloon while it is on his head and uses his tail to propel himself around. Cartoon physics, but still hilariously brilliant! Hats off to you, my underappreciated Sir Hiss, you do not fall into the stereotype that all snakes are created evil and you endear yourself to us! If you read this, please hope with me for Kiba, hope that he makes it through this.
