The Celery Show

I have decided that programming a cartoon with the Atari 2600 will only yield 15 or so minutes of animation if you go to 64k. I completed scene three of my Celery movie and it's only 50 seconds long and there's only 79 bytes left in my one bank. Perhaps I will do a series of these instead of just one long movie that I was hoping to do. I will call it "the Mr. Celery Show." I just tested the short on my Harmony cart and everything is OK. I was a little worried because I used a pfhline off command, but it behaved itself. I only worked on this for an hour instead of a few hours like I normally do to work on this. Last time we left Mr. Celery, he jumped aboard a UFO and it went up into space. Bad decision as there are alien rabbits aboard it. I guess he thought since he was 50 feet tall, he could beat any aliens. And he thought the alien rabbits were earth rabbits. In this third scene, he finds out that the rabbits are indeed aliens. Not only that, they're getting closer and closer to him. Can he escape? Find out by watching it. Although when I program, I am probably wasting all kinds of space, but it works. It's 628 lines for bank 1, but IT WORKS. (To be fair, about half the lines are blank.) But I'm stuck again as I have writer's block again. I hope something will come to mind like it did the last time.
