Natural Chemistry was
looking for a spokes-object/mascot to promote their natural
enzymatic pool cleaning product. They wanted "Enzo" to be cute 'n
cuddly
- yet as he was depicted in the initial script he was to be spunky and
conform to
cartoon physics. Oh, yes, and they wanted him to be animated - CG
preferably. Most
of the design development was done with that in mind.
Eventually the cost of animation was daunting and what we ended up with
was a fuzzy
doll. Things change.

Getting somewhere…
"Make him more 'human'" (huh?)
Final contestants.
Now were talking dolls.
Sure we can change the mouth.
Meet Enzo!
