Suppose you've always wanted to be small. You fantasize about being brought down to Alvin and Theodore's level. You listen to the Chipettes on loop. What if there was a way to fulfill your dreams, and even become a Chipette in your own right? I'll show you what if.

(The second half of the video has been redacted for national security reasons.)
Before you get too excited, note that this footage is not real--not strictly speaking. There is simply no way to make a human that small. Newborn babies come close, but they can't even wrap their heads around the privilege bestowed upon them by their fleeting tininess. There is amputation, but you'd have to grapple with a life without hands (grappling without hands is notoriously arduous). And you'd still have a big fat head.
To become a truly small person, you must learn how to rotoscope. It has the distinct advantage of being fully digital, allowing you to manifest any material scenario completely immaterially. Now you're the rodent superstar you've always wanted to be. Though you can't hear him, that chip-man has the voice of a siren. And tomorrow, he can go right back to being a big boy. Is the process a chore? Yes. Is it less of a chore than chopping off your own legs? I haven't tested that.
