No More Patreon - With Good Reason

    To avoid financial headaches and disappointments, we're shutting down the Juggling Planets Patreon for now. We're really sorry for the inconvenience. Also the fact that we don't want to be one of those God-forbid "over-promise, under-deliver" people. Get the picture? Thanks for understanding. 

Welcome to the Whole Wide World Project!

  

 Welcome to The Mouse-Eye View! 

   This blog is the official development journal for my newest creative project, an interactive animated movie/game called "The Whole Wide World". It’s a story I’ve been shaping for half a year - a blend of childhood wonder, mouse‑scale adventure, and the kind of emotional storytelling I grew up loving in films by Spielberg, Disney, Don Bluth, and the classic American Tail series.

   Here, I’ll be sharing the journey as it unfolds:

• early concept art and character designs

• worldbuilding notes from Oak Gardens, MA (circa 1992)

• inspirations from movies, music, and animation

• behind‑the‑scenes thoughts from my creator’s diary

• updates on the branching story paths and interactive structure

   At the heart of this project is a group of six young mouse heroes - tiny kids navigating a big, complicated world - and the adventure that pulls them together. Inspired by works such as "Goonies", "Stranger Things" and even Stephen King's "Stand By Me" with a whole lot of heart. 

   This blog will grow as the project grows. For now, it’s a place to document the process, share discoveries, and invite anyone who’s curious to follow along as "The Whole Wide World" comes to life.

   Thanks for stopping by - and welcome to the adventure.
