Day 142: Hedgehog in the Fog



While on his way to meet his bear cub friend, a hedgehog finds himself in a deep fog and is confronted with various things that frighten him.

The animation suits the story well. So often bad animation can detract from the actual story being told but this makes it better. The story itself is simple enough; a hedgehog is taking raspberry jam to his friend and they’re going to count the stars, but the mist he finds himself in makes the journey more terrifying and interesting than usual. He is being followed by a crazy owl and he gets attacked by a bat too. But it’s not all scary, he also sees a beautiful white horse through the fog. He seems rather bewitched by the horse, first wondering if she’ll be alright when she lies down in the fog and later, after finally joining his friend, he wonders how she is. For a trip that must be so routine, the fog brought out a side to the world he hadn’t come across before and as he sits with his friend, he appears to be reflecting on all that he’s seen.
