"Dr. Jobs and his Scary Laboratory": Part 1

For more than twenty-five years, I have been a successful composer of music to accompany animation. I have worked on the cartoon, "Urusei Yatsura", and the movies, "Tampopo" and Gerry Anderson's "FireStorm". These works hardly pursue a whole synchronization of music and pictures, so inevitably, I feel frustrated with the unbalanced two elements. In recent years, my challenge has been to seek its solution with Brick Toys animation. The music composition has been another project. The amount of genuine animation for children seems to be decreasing, compared to the number aiming for OTAKU (freaks) in Japan. With this Dr. Jobs' series, I am aiming for five to ten-year old children. In each story, I'd like to create a comedy with this brick character, where you will find his brilliant inventions may lead to a bitter experience. Enjoy it!
