    "overview": "The Hungry Squid is 2002 animated short film by John Weldon, about a young girl whose homework and personal life is being disrupted by creatures, including a giant ravenous squid.[1] The film was animated using Weldon's personal style of do-it-yourself filmmaking, combining low-budget computer animation with puppets, photos and stop-motion animation in a technique he calls \"digital recyclomation.\" The film's producer, Marcy Page, had coined the term \"recyclomation\" during production of Weldon's 1991 film, The Lump",
