Description A few of these references might be a little obscure, and I'm curious if any one of you can guess the very top right character? Also the lower right character, or the one next to it might not be as widely known. The top right, though, is probably the most obscure character I know.

Let's see: Hilda, Toothless, Mushu, Clayton, Moses, someone from Kubo (?) I haven't actually seen the film, so I'm not sure. The shadow to the left of it looks like the Black Rabbit of Inle or the little shadows they use in the movie version of Watership Down, but I have NO clue who the mouse looking creature on the top right is.

They all look great by the way!

All correct except the chipmunk. No-one has gotten that one. I gues nobody knows "Travels of Thelonious." It was a children's graphic novel I grew up as a kid.

Hm...I see Hilda, Claton, Toothless, Mushu and one of the evil sisters from Kubo (a great film by the way).
I know the character next to Claton is a character from the Prince of Eygpt, I just can't remember the name. The other two, I'm lost.
I could guess that the top right character is from The Secret of Nimh, but I could be wrong.
Keep up the great work!

Close-ish. "Travels of Thelonious," a children's graphic novel. Has a similar-ish feel to it.

Hm...never heard of that novel, might give it a read sometime.
But at least I had the right idea.

Hey hey, someone remembers Watership Down!

It's one of my favorite movies, and the book is right at the top of my literature favorites.

Fine penmanship! I have no idea who the top right character is, but the lower right character is from Kubo and the Two Strings, yes. I don't know who the rabbit-like character is, or who the girl in the top left is either.

More people know and remember Kubo than I thought

The girl top left? That's Hilda, she's from a cute little animated show on Netflix. I really like her character design, and the show's visual design is great.

The rabbit is the Black rabbit of Inle from Watership Down, and the chipmunk is from a children's Graphic novel series I grew up with, "The Travels of Thelonious." It was the most obscure reference I could think of.

I've only seen the movie once. I thought it was a nice film, *very* impressive where the animation/design was concerned, though I was a little "meh" on the plot. 

What's the show about?

I *thought* it was Watership Down-ish, but couldn't tell for sure. But wow, I never heard of "The Travels of Thelonious." I can't help but be reminded of another obscure children's animal character: Hermux Tantamoq.

Movie? You mean Kubo? I really liked Kubo.

Hilda? Hilda is about a little adventurous wilderness girl who loves nature, forests, magical creatures and fantasy, but after moving from a rural setting she has to learn how to live in an urban city.

Hermux Tantamoq? I'm curious

Yup, Kubo. Oh yes, like I said, the animation/design was *beautiful* and epic. I just wasn't as sold on the plot, but oh well. 

Heh, wow! That does sound like a cute premise. I'm guessing she still comes across the occasional magical element? 

It's a four-book series about a watchmaker-mouse who, quite by accident, becomes an amateur sleuth when, in the first book, he becomes embroiled in a conspiracy when an adventuring mouse-lady named Linka gives him her watch to fix, only for a seedy-looking rat to come in and try to retrieve it. The main villain of the series is Tucka Mertslin, one of the most gaudy and outrageous creatures I've ever read about (she's a cosmetics tycoon who is obsessed with youth and beauty, not to mention always making a fashion statement. One of her statements was an evening gown made entirely of live flies ).

That bottom right character looks to be one of them sister characters from Kubo and the Two Strings. 

I don't think I know the top right one.
