You're just trying to have a meal, but you look down and see this fussy noodle boy chilling in your bowl. What do you do? 🦊🍲

🎦 VIDEO: Hey It's Lollie! — ED #1 "Groovy!" (HD)

This is the closing frame from a little animation test posted back in 2018, linked above. The goal was to end the short with a still frame befitting of a cute classic anime, while capturing some of his dork energy in the process. I thumbnailed a few ideas, including a handful of photos and a pile of plush toys, but Lollie in a bowl of ramen seemed too good to pass up.

Don't worry, I'm sure the broth isn't burning him too much. His fur protects him from hot oils, probably. 🦊
