My first task was to read through the Aesops Fables and pick out a few that were of interest. So far there are 3 fables that have initially caught my imagination. The Wolf in Sheeps Clothing & The Sick Lion both contain quite dark morals which would allow me to create an interesting atmosphere & feeling in the animation. The other fable that I found interesting was The Lion in Love. I think this fable would be a good oppertunity to convey emotion though expression.

Im not looking to take the fables too litterally. I will definatly look at taking an abstract view and substitute animals & people with possibly more unqiue characters.

I think now I will continue to read through more fables and see if any more stike me as possibles.
