Little Engine That Could 2011, Storyboards by Larry Scholl

I was a storyboard artist on the recently released Little Engine That Could by Universal Studios. You can pick it up on DVD now. Looks like it is selling very well according to the Amazon sales rank. It's always interesting to work on interpretations of classic stories like this one, to see the different angles they take to try and modernize the old stories.

Amazing Article About Larry Scholl's Annual Summer Party

Here is a link to a great write-up about one of my past parties by Shannon McCabe.

Here's an excerpt from the article.

"As I looked around I was amazed at how well done the party was.  I saw costumed characters, sitting in lounge chairs, watching trashy 1960’s movies on a big screen. I saw a beautiful kidney shaped pool glowing in the darkness.  I saw people setting up a table across the pool with interesting devices.  Just as I was taking it all in, I noticed to my right, that there were some flickering lanterns on a wooden wall.  I left my group and walked past the projector screen to see what this wooden building was.  As I grew closer I saw it was a ride!  What?  There was a Disney inspired ride, complete with turtles to sit in to be taken inside to whatever was in there!  I was pretty freaked out at this point.  When I thought of trill rides I thought “maybe they have a bungee thing or a rock wall to climb?” not an actual ride like at Disneyland!  It was shocking to find out that I was going to be able to ride this Mining Mountain ride!  I was bursting with excitement."

We are allowing children to come from 8pm - 9pm to see the attractions, but this is an adult party and anyone under 18 must leave by 9pm. Be sure to get there by 8pm so your kids have time to see everything. This party is by invite only! If you're not on the list you won't get it in. The address will be sent to those on the list, when it gets close. Mark it on your calendars.
