Winging it, Awkwardly

b1-66er: Are you familiar at all with

The Pigeon...

series? (Might be animations)

The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog

etc?

Special K: No. 

b1: I'm not either. They're on Hoopla and being recommended.

K: Sounds like kid stuff. 

b1: No wonder they're  recommending it to me.

K: Could be subversive. 

b1: I'm sure they have their downsides as well.

K: Ya ha. 

b1: Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus sounds pretty good.

I'm gonna watch it.  Right now.

K: Enjoy•

b1: Review of DLtPDtB

Better than you'd think.

Pretty easy to describe.

The line styling is pretty minimalistic.

No exterior backgrounds.

Opens with complete madness of a pigeon driving a bus. 

But, turns out that's a dream.

We're left watching a pigeon and a bus and a bus driver.

The pigeon wants to drive the bus.

The driver doesn't want him to.

The driver takes a break, like bus drivers do. "Will you let the pigeon drive the bus?"

Crowd of off screen children, clearly having a good time, "NO!"

Driver exists, pigeon shows up.

Pigeon: "Can I drive the bus?"

Children: "NO!"

"I used to drive a bus."

"NO!"

"I was pretty good!"

<Even I doubt that's true>

"NO!"

There's some pigeon whining, occasional lying. On every break the kids yell "NO!"

Driver comes back.

"Did you let the pigeon drive the bus?

"NO!"

Bus pulls away. 

Pigeon hijacks a semi.

It jackknifes.

You know, standard stuff.

End credits have the bus driver talking with the pigeon about dual knuckle carboration and overhead cams. The pigeon acts as if he's all over it, but he's clearly not.

The End

All this is the brain child of Mo Willems

I STRONGLY suspect you know him from the

Elephant and Piggie

series.

Solid. I rate it 8/10. Worth jumping through the Hoopla.

I had it on loan for 3 days, but returned it in ten minutes because I'm a conscientious citizen of my tax free state.

K: Solid.
