Up in Arms

How it would all work anatomically.





Since a couple people have asked about this, I wanted to share images included in the Lilo & Stitch art book. (You can click to embiggen.) As you might know, the character Stitch has a pair of retractable arms, so one of the animators decided to sketch out how that might work.



Chris Sanders mentions in the DVD documentary that he was mildly squicked by all this. I prefer to think Ganesh does it with "magic," especially because I've implied he has more than one pair of extra arms (if you look at images of the Hindu gods, they can have a dozen arms sticking out back there).

I remember a commercial for SOMETHING where you saw gods and goddesses with bazillion arms. I should probably grab one of those Avatar books, because they supposedly worked out the skeletal system of this weird double armed creatures.
