Wii Flash Animation

January 20, 2007

This Toon Boom and Flash animation began life as a doodle while talking with Cory on the phone. I have the Xbox 360 sitting here on my desk, so I began with its distinctive shape. Then I thought about what kind of personality I would assign to it, deciding that it was American, so let's give it the most stereotyped characteristics I can think of. It kind of snowballed after that.

I'm trying to get on a regular weekly schedule, targeting these shorter animations for regular release (but not ignoring the longer episodes). This was supposed to be only 30 seconds, but the longer I made it the more it made me smile. Gina does a great laugh for the Wii, one of her 300+ laughs.

Good times. The fall at the end cracks me up!

Now I'm envisioning an audio track of Gina laughing for 5 minutes, and it keeps getting funnier. Well done!

Not much new here. Old ideas and gags rehashed to bash 360 and PS3.

While I don't deny that I have no love for the PS3 and their horrible system, I don't quite see how this bashes the 360. I love my 360! Giving something a crazy accent does not equal bashing. : )

LOL, I have the wii and I do say that was an accurate depiction of all three systems. The wii is just so freakin fun!

Heh, thanks guys. Peter, I've noticed that you've been plugging Calico Monkey on the Newgrounds forums, thank you very much for that!

I was just logging in to tell you that you suck! No, I'm not. Why would anyone do that? This isn't talk radio. Why do you hate Microsoft so much? Oh! You don't.
