The Ice Age, a gigantic asteroid or lethal meteor shower was not to blame for the extinction of the mighty dinosaurs. The answer to this age old question has finally been revealed.

Apparently once upon a time a very long time ago, a magical volcano (Mount Miki-dee-wanna-burga) erupted, spewing tons of "junk food" all over the surface of the earth. Bestowed with this new food source from the heavens, the dinosaurs furiously gorged themselves day and night. All that "bad cholesterol" wreaked havoc on the dinosaur's cardiovascular systems, and death was soon inevitable. These enormous and magnificent creatures had ironically "super-sized" themselves to extinction. History has a strange way of repeating itself.

Great idea, I love the message. But it's a bit hard to tell what's going on and most people will only be glancing at the shirt. I think actually coloring it in to define what things are would be better.. but that's just my opinion.

That's excellent. I'll give you even more points for saying "Miki-Dee" coz it still makes me laugh (in crazy Aussie land we tend to call it Maccas).

I agree this is too fast food-esque to be in the film competition. However, I still like it. If it doesn't work out here try re-subing it into the normal competition. $4

this has nothing to do with the contest. and it dosent matter how great it is and it is great but i dont like the fact that people subing random designs to any contest... the whole point of the contest is that it has a theme and guide lines to ''follow'' in your own way... right? sorry for being an ass...

i disagree with everyone who said this shouldnt be in the film festival contest....i think you tell an excellent story in this design and artfully so! True, it would work in the fast food contest as well, but you already had enough tees that i 5$ there so im glad this one has a shot at another contest! Great story, colors and illo!
