Two of Becker's favorite animated short films were the 1953 Looney Tunes short Duck Amuck and the 1959 adaptation of Harold and the Purple Crayon, both of which contained animated characters using their surroundings to draw things out, which would become major inspirations for his later works.
[5] Later, he discovered that his animation had been uploaded to the notorious entertainment website eBaum's World without permission.
After Steven Lerner used this as evidence in a legal battle against eBaum's World, Becker accepted a $250 payment for use of the animation.
[6] In 2007, then 14-year-old Charles Yeh offered to create an online game based on the animation, and after looking at his impressive work, Becker agreed to collaborate with him.
Oxford University mathematician Dr. Tom Crawford has created an analysis video of the animation.
In December 2023, his YouTube channel reached 27.5 million subscribers and gained a total of about 6 billion video views.
His YouTube channel currently sits at 29.8 million subscribers and has gained around 7.8 billion video views.
