Webheads Open Peepers Wide For Sandler's Short

By Marc Graser

HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - ``The Sixth Sense' wasn't the only picture people watched over the Labor Day weekend.

More than 1 million Internet users flocked to Adam Sandler's six-minute animated short ``The Peeper,' which bowed Friday on several Warner Bros.-owned Web sites.

The animated short -- created to push Sandler's upcoming CD -- is available only on the Internet, and its numbers make it one of the most watched video clips on the 'Net during its opening weekend.

``'Peeper' could serve as a model for the future of mainstream programming in the online world,' said Jim Moloshok, president of Warner Bros. Online. ``These numbers prove that there is an eager audience hungry for entertainment on the Web.'

The short was created by animator Tom Winkler ('The Simpsons' and ``The Critic'), who oversees the popular animation site doodie.com.

``Peeper' is based on a skit from Sandler's CD ``Stan and Judy's Kid,' which Warner Bros. Records is releasing Sept. 21.

The clip is available on AcmeCity.com, warnerbros.com, wbr.com, acmecity.com/adamsandler and adamsandler.com.
