Ice-cream Truck

The Ice Cream Man’s chosen mode of transportation, the Ice Cream Truck is an integral part of the story behind Little Lilly. So important, in fact, that it was seen as a character on its own and required a lot of attention.

Environment

The vibrant world of Little Lilly was made with a suburban setting in mind. The suburb is the home to a majority of our story and consists of multiple houses of different shapes and sizes to make the world more unique and grand.

Concept Art

When the Little Lilly Crew was discussing the implementation of a giant robot as part of the film, they decided that they needed to include an equally large setting for it to play in. This led to the creation of a cityscape that would connect to the town. While parts of the city are still included in the final version, many of the models and the design of the city was changed to fit that of the town instead after the Mech was taken out of the film.
