Jim Carrey shares cartoon before quitting Twitter
msn.comJim Carrey shared a cartoon on Twitter on Tuesday as a parting gift before he left the platform. The Bruce Almighty star announced on Tuesday night that he would be leaving the micro-blogging site after sharing his animated short. "I'm leaving Twitter, but 1st here's a cartoon I made with my friend Jimmy Hayward," Carrey wrote. "It's based on my painting of a crazy old Lighthouse Keeper, standing naked in a storm, summoning the angels and shining his lamp to guide us through a treacherous night.
I love you all so much!" In the cartoon, which is just over a minute long, the red-headed lighthouse keeper, voiced by the actor, stands naked in the wind and rain outside of his lighthouse and sings a sea shanty about protecting seafarers "until the break of day".
It ends with a still image of Carrey's original painting. Carrey previously worked with director Hayward on the animated movie Horton Hears a Who!
in 2008. Before he became a director, Hayward served as an animator on Pixar films such as Toy Story, Toy Story 2, Monsters, Inc.
