Currently working on the newest "Snow White and Rose" episode. The next episode after this one is going to be centered on the Snow White character, played to deadpan perfection by the awesome Amy Cheek. Here's a stroll through what has inspired that character.
There's also Jo from Facts of Life and Ethel from I Love Lucy, but I couldn't find any worthy videos. Thanks for reading and make sure you check me out here: https://www.youtube.com/edcaoartist

The One Legged Tin Soldier - Adapted from Han Christian Anderson
The
toymaker created all the tin soldiers so they looked exactly the
same. The only one that stood out among them was the last one. Not
enough tin was available to complete him so he was left with only one
leg.
Other
than that, he was fine.
The
tin soldiers stood on display in the great toy store; right in front
of the huge window. Next to the soldiers was a beautiful panorama
that resembled a lake. A glass ballerina stood in the center of the
lake.
The
lake was really a mirror.
One
of the ballerina's legs stood high up in the air. So high up, that
she appeared to be standing on one leg. This attracted the one legged
soldier's attention immediately.
They
looked at each other. They smiled. They were happy.
But
the ballerina had another admirer. Not too far away, a jack kept safe
in his box, awaiting for the right moment.
A
gust of wind blew the huge window open. The jack sprung out of his
box and pushed the one legged soldier out of the store window; onto
the streets.
The
ballerina stopped smiling.
The
one legged soldier did not.
Water
from a nearby sewage drain caught the one legged soldier. He was
brought to the depths of the city's sewer;
...and
eventually out into the ocean where a fish swallowed him.
While
underwater - and in the belly of a giant fish - the one legged
soldier never doubted for a moment that he would see his ballerina
again.
It
was really dark.
The
longer he stayed in the fish, the stronger his loyalty to the
ballerina grew.
He
was in love.
The
giant fish was later on captured by a fisherman, sold to a seafood
market, and then bought by the toymaker.
The
toymaker almost lost himself when he gutted the fish and the one
legged soldier appeared.
After
rinsing the one legged soldier thoroughly, the toymaker placed the
one legged soldier in the mirror lake;
...next
to the ballerina.
She
smiled again.
Angered
at having been foiled, the jack again awaited in his box for the
right moment. This time he had a more permanent plan in mind.
Not
too far from the one legged soldier was a really hot furnace. As it
started to heat up, the jack prepared himself.
He
sprung again from his box and knocked the soldier, this time down
onto the hot furnace.
The
glass ballerina caught wind of the jack as well and followed not to
far behind the one legged soldier.
She
shattered into a million pieces.
The
one legged soldier melted.
The
toymaker later on found a strange heart shaped object on the furnace
that appeared to be melted metal decorated with glass.
It
shone as he held it up to the light.
