FADE IN from black. Gioachino Rossini's The Thieving Magpie plays. A VOICEOVER comes over:
THE ANNOUNCER
During the making of this short we contacted various A list actors and animators to help us with our production. Sadly after numerous phone calls, tweets, and promos, none of them answered back. So we had to improvise. The voice talents featured here are: Steve, Bill, Terry, and myself. All animation was done by Kate, Wendy, and John. Shout out to our intern Bob for providing coffee and research! We love you Bob! Get well soon!
