Video: "When Pigs Fly" - Ryan Adams Sings Sandra Boynton

One of the highlights of Sandra Boynton's Frog Trouble is the tender ballad "When Pigs Fly," sung by Ryan Adams.  It is earnest and not at all as humorous as you'd expect a Boynton take on that familiar cliche.  It's quite beautiful.

Boynton directed and storyboarded the animated video for the song.  There's a tad more humor in the video, but there is also, dare I say it, more tenderness in this recounting of some adventures of parent and child.

Monday Morning Smile: Pig Box

Oh, here's a heart-warming tale of a friendship between a bird and a porcupine animated by David Chao.  Then why is it called "Pig Box"?  (I had to Google the answer to that one.)  I don't even know why the pig/porcupine didn't break into a rendition of "Hakuna Matata" like I kept expecting him to. -- that question I don't think can be answered properly.

But you should watch the video -- perhaps you will come up with a better answer than I've been able to provide.​
