The project is under Walt Disney Animation summer internship program (CG & Art intern program), where a group of animation and computer graphics students collaborate and make shorts within two months, under the guidance of Disney animators. The shorts are around 1 minutes.

The plumage is mainly grey-blue, with a black chest and neck; the beak and tail are rather short, as a consequence of adaptation to terrestrial life. Omnivorous, the demoiselle crane feeds on seeds, leaves, fruits, insects, reptiles, birds, and small mammals. The nesting period lasts 3-5 months and produces a single brood of 2 eggs. The male and the female form pairs that remain together for life. The dances of the demoiselle cranes are the most energetic and choreographic of all the cranes.
The demoiselle crane is slightly smaller and more elegant than the perhaps better known common crane. The beak of the demoiselle crane is quite fine and the tip is red as well as the outline of the eye. The beautiful plumage is characterized by the alternation of silver-white and black: overall this bird is light with dark grey-blackish wing tips, as well as the head and the evident and long feathers that paint the chin strap and chest; behind the eye the feathers are very white. The young is distinguished from the adult by the uniformity of the brown-greyish color and by the absence of the tuft of pectoral feathers.
Throughout the year, the couple performs graceful dances, probably to consolidate and strengthen the bond; in the breeding season these interactions become more intense and passionate with spins, jumps, neck stretches and so on.
Suicide Mouse, also known as "suicidemouse.avi", is a black-and-white cartoon featuring a looped animation of the Disney character Mickey Mouse walking along several buildings accompanied by eerie piano music. The video cuts to black for several minutes and returns with distorted video and loud screaming audio at the end.
Unlike the cutesy tunes put in though, the song on this cartoon was not a song at all, just a constant banging on a piano as if the keys for a minute and a half before going to white noise for the remainder of the film. It wasn't the jolly old Mickey we've come to love either, Mickey wasn't dancing, not even smiling, just kind of walking as if you or I were walking, with a normal facial expression, but for some reason his head tilted side to side as he kept this dismal look. Up until a year or two ago, everyone believed that after it cut to black and that was it. When Leonard Maltin was reviewing the cartoon to be put in the complete series, he decided it was too junk to be on the DVD, but wanted to have a digital copy due to the fact that it was a creation of Walt. When he had a digitized version up on his computer to look at the file, he noticed something. The cartoon was actually 9 minutes and 4 seconds long. This is what my source emailed to me, in full (he is a personal assistant of one of the higher executives at Disney, and acquaintance of Mr. Maltin himself) 2ff7e9595c
