Fan-Made INDIANA JONES Animated Short Is Full of Adventure and Intrigue!
A couple weeks ago, we learned about an animated Indiana Jones fan film being created by artist Patrick Schoenmaker from the Netherlands. This got a lot of fans of the franchise excited, and now the short film is finally here for you to watch and enjoy! As you'll see it turned out pretty awesome!
The short is called "The Adventures of Indiana Jones," and it's the perfect thing to sate our Indiana Jones appetite while we wait for Lucasfilm, Steven Spielberg, and Harrison Ford to make Indiana Jones 5.
The short was created in a way that would be used as an opening sequence introduction to an Indiana Jones animated series. Here's the description that came along with the short:
Famous archaeologist Dr. Indiana Jones is on a quest of a lifetime, but this time he is fully animated in this passion project by life long fan and artist Patrick Schoenmaker. Over the course of 5 years, he has crafted the opening sequence of what would be the tv series to make all other tv shows redundant: "The Adventures of Indiana Jones"!
I would love to see an animated Indiana Jones series like this! I'm surprised that it's never happened. I think it would do very well. When talking about the project, Schoenmaker explained:
"Indiana Jones must have been my first true movie hero ever since I watched Raiders of the Lost Ark on a VCR way back when. Yes, some other heroes came and went, but Indy always held a special place. After Crystal Skull was released, my love for the character was once again fully ignited and with no new movies on the horizon back then, I decided to set up an Indiana Jones project of my own to keep the fire burning a little bit longer. So, that was back in 2011 and 'a little bit longer' turned into 5 years of hard work."
Now, enjoy the fruits of his labor!
