Pumpkinhead Makes an Impression

You can't hide who you are.

Pumpkinhead wakes to find a neighbor across the field, a cute neighbor, but he is just a mess. Can Pumpkinhead clean himself up to make the best impression?

Inspiration: 

Story
Honestly, I just wanted to animate the makeover scene for the scarecrow. I was imagining how fun it would be to be a scarecrow, and all one had to do to look better was to push around some hey.Yet, I needed a bigger story, so building from there, Aubrey the crow came as a guy to push things forward, than Porsha entered as a plot point, and rest continually changed and grew from than on. 

 Style Inspiration
 Wizard of Oz: The 1939 movie has been a movie from my childhood, and the diverse universes growing from L. Franks Baum novel.
The animation of Kim Possible, or Stephen Silver character design.
 The muppet's of the Muppets.

Cast:

 Pumpkinhead is a scarecrow, been that way since Farmer August hung him up on his post and gained conscious. He believed his job is to scare away crows from the field, but after a few years found that scarecrows have little effect on birds, and other garden pest, and then realized his purpose was more decorative than productive. He mellowed out and made good friends with local community “pest.” His closest friend Aubrey, a crow, made residence in his mouth, and keeps him updated on local current events. On most days, Pumpkinhead plays inanimate before Farmer August, but while out of sight of human eyes, he walks about the farm, naps in the forest, at times help out the community, and once and a while will remember to take care of his condition to prevent himself from falling apart.  But only enough to hold together, why put so much work to look your best if there is nobody to impress.

Aubrey known Pumpkinhead since he was a wee little bird, growing up by the ageless scarecrow, he learned that scarecrows are made of whatever they or there makers find, and any pushing, stuffing, replacing, and stitching, keeps them as they are. He finds fun in knowing, that no matter the passing years, there are only little changes his pumpkin head friend.

 Aubrey frequently makes residence in his friend’s head. When returning from the south for the winter, he could find a tree to build a nest on, but why when a friend is willing to share an empty husk. Aubrey makes up for it by being a good friend, keeping Pumpkinhead informed or warned of his liveliness being out.

Porsha is the new girl on the farm, very new, only just becomes sentient in her first encounter of Pumpkinhead.  She doesn’t know much about him, but watching a guy literally fall apart before you isn’t the most appealing thing to watch on your birthday. Porsha is made of; porcelain teapot, that is her head, her short wavy hair, a mop end, and her clothes a mix of handy downs found in the attic.

August Farms, is a small farm, own by the August family, only Mr. and Mrs. August live in the house, but their youngest son isn’t far from home and does visit often. The farm started as a small family project, but grew a bit over the years, they now grow a small amount of seasonal produce, like pumpkins for Halloween, but it has stayed a small farm for the family. Not much is planted, and the scarecrow the family made years ago still stands. Lately they talked about making a friend scarecrow for Pumpkinhead, and when Mr. And Mrs. August were cleaning the attic, they found some material, got crafting, and planned to make their son hang her on a post.
