In early 2009 I had the pleasure of moving to London for a short time to work as an animator for one of my all time favorite directors, Wes Anderson! I got assigned Petey's song, which at the time was a bit of a disappointment in that I really wanted to work with the animal characters. I knew nothing about Jarvis Cocker and spent some time getting to know his moves. I ended up really enjoying the scene, and the song. I've worked on a few musical scenes as an animator and for this one I remember asking Wes if he wanted realistic music playing or animation magic, and replied "Animation magic please." The black and white portions are beautifully animated by several different animators....
