Back around the release of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, artist Patrick Schoenmaker was commissioned by Lucasfilm and ACME Archives to create a special print which envisioned the adventurer and archaeologist as an animated cartoon. This sparked Schoenmaker’s imagination, and he’s spent the past five years working on an unofficial animated short entitled The Adventures of Indiana Jones.
“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,” states Shoenmaker. “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.”
