hmm, I made this a while ago.  It grew out of an even simpler scene to test
"ambient occlusion" in povray as someone posted some fake ambient occlusion
of sorts with megapov in this forum.  Less may not really be more, but it's
certainly sweet. :)

And about Disney:  well, the big evil corp may be bad, but the cartoons sure
are memorable.  Some think they are more kiddy than the Warner classics, but
these people seemingly never saw the common man Goofy cartoons from the 50s
or the southern neurotic Donald.  Absolute high quality humor.  And I can't
believe someone in this day and age has never seen such a widespread 20th
century icon as Disney's trademarked spherical mouse ears...
