visual inspiration

So, I had a brainstorm last night about the visuals for the game- a retro look. The two cartoons from the 1930's that I've embedded in the blog are somewhat in vein of what I was thinking (though we will use color). In particular I like the rubber band quality of the animal limbs and the rounded ovals of the torsos. As for the animation, when characters are dancing or sitting or standing there is a great exaggeration to the whole thing; everyone seems to be bouncing in syncopation. I think we might consider something like this for the game..
