Character Flash Animations

I found 3 different styles of characters in the different Flash animations, "This Is the Best Burrito I've Ever Eaten," the "Yu-Gi-Oh Theme Song," and the "Powerpuff Girls Theme Song."

"This Is the Best Burrito I've Ever Eaten"
I chose this flash animation because it showed how some characters can be made really simple and not have many motions to it, yet is still able to get the point across that the character is walking, for example, by only moving the legs while the rest of the body and head stays still.



"Yu-Gi-Oh Theme Song"
I chose this flash animation because it shows more detailed character designs and graphics and also because it shows the characters performing more complex movements rather than just the movement of one part of the body at a time, like the simpler animations' characters do.



"Powerpuff Girls Theme Song"
I chose this flash animation because the Powerpuff Girls are a good example of another simple character that can easily be made basically with a circle and a few other shapes.  In this example of a flash animation the backgrounds do a lot of the work to make it seem like the characters are moving.  For example, when the girls are "flying" they are actually not moving at all (except for their bows blowing in the wind) but the background is moving sideways to make it appear as if they were moving.
