Fruits VS Bugs: Episode 1

When money attacks... Fruits and Bugs.

Fruits VS Bugs: Episode 1

"The Influence Bug and Trooper Bugs head out to Bobby Nelson's house to influence him to steal. It's up to the secret agent fruits, the Agents of the Spirit, to stop them!

We used Photoshop, 3D Studio Max, Premiere, and Movie Maker.

Of course, this wouldn't be a TheAnimationEmpire video without a double-dose of nonsense and nostalgia. Look for references to Loony Tunes, Indiana Jones, Charlie's Angels, Spiderman, Star Wars Episode 2, Mortal Kombat, Super Mario Kart, The Simpsons, Yoshi, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jurassic Park, Kung Pow, The Matrix, Super Mario Brothers (Bros.) and, of course, a lot of secret agent themes. Our preview for Episode 2 even references Batman, Toy Story, and several more Star Wars themes.

Our work has been compared to Shrek, Disney, and Pixar films (Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Toy Story, Monsters Inc, Cars, etc.). We can tell the difference because we don't have their 80 million dollar budget. =^)"

Here is the new 3D animation that was recently featured on the home page of Youtube.com:

Extra Fruity - 3D Animation

When Money Attacks... 3D animation.


Here is Extra Fruity, a 3D Animation.

Extra Fruity means extra lame as lameness is a perfect description of this video. Look for references to Loony Tunes, The Fugitive, Hot Shots part Deux, Charlie's Angels, Spiderman, Back to the Future, Star Wars, Commando, and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

3D Remake of Warner Bros. Loony Tunes Frog

When Money Attacks... 3D frogs.

This is a 3D remake of the old Warner Brothers Loony Tunes cartoon starring their frog. It is the first two minutes of that cartoon, "One Froggy Evening." That is why you'll often see this frog on some Warner Bros. branding.

You'll also realize that the Space Balls gag near the end was a combination of this joke and of the scene from Alien (and each following sequel) where a baby alien bursts out of a guy's chest.

Banned Xbox Commercial - Giant Monster

When Money Attacks the Xbox.

I've heard that this Xbox commercial got banned, and was never released on TV. Have you seen it on TV? They don't really show any video games here, but the warriors and giant monster look like they came from a role playing game or adventure game. The sword reminds me of a Zelda game, but I don't think that would be on the Xbox.

They must have spent a lot on the special effects for a commercial like this, only to have it not shown on TV!

Animusic: Pipe Dreams - 3D animated music

Animusic is a project that combines 3D animation with music. It's like Disney's Fantasia, but instead of animating to the music, they animate objects that appear to be the source of the music. This particular piece, Pipe Dreams, showcases a lot of pipes that shoot out balls. The balls hit strings, cymbals, drums, and other percussion objects, and then the balls go back into other pipes (this promotes recycling). =^)

Here is Animusic: Pipe Dreams...
