HAPPY TRAILS NFTS
"OFF THE BEATEN PATH"
THE ART OF ANIMATION
This award-winning short film was inked with a quill pen for an authentic hand-drawn look and composited in an original process developed by Happy Trails Animation as well as with TV Paint and Wacom Technology products.
An extra special deal is that we are planning to use these NFTs from our animated short to get interested participants for our TBA meta projects. We are going to apply the same Happy Trails Animation boutique style to create some amazing fun worlds. Help support independent animation and what comes next.

COLLECTORS
Winter/ En Hiver is an international short film by Happy Trails Animation. This film garnered many sought after industry awards from around the world.
Now, a piece of this independent film can be part of your collection for 3 SOL.
Collecting animation art is one of the most exciting hobbies there is. Imagine displaying a piece of this independent international film on a wall -- it would be more rare than the thousands of Mickey and Donald cells out there.
Intrigued by Hayao Miyazaki, Happy Trails Animation wanted to create a western cultural version of anime-style animation. As a studio, we were also taken by American illustrator Edward Gorey’s quill pen style of illustration.
Animation is about visual communication and this project gave us the canvas to demonstrate this unique style with a message that conveys a very complicated theme without narration. Audiences from around the world enjoyed this nonspoken film and connected with Winter’s story, regardless of which country they were from.
