Aardman Animations, the studio behindCreature ComfortsandWallace and Gromit, have been putting the rest of us Flipnote Studios artists to shame for the past few months with their original animations on the service. I always thought it was weird for such a high profile animation studio to be throwing stuff out for free on a relatively small system like the DSi, but now it’s all starting to make sense.
Nintendo ispayingAardman to make these films! Duh!
This wasn’t as clear withpast Aardman flipnotes, which were generally short, silly, and without an overt message. This one is different. This one is a commercial for the DSi, nothing more, nothing less. Thing is, it’s a reallygoodcommercial for the DSi. Showing how the cool the DSi is by making a commercialwiththe DSi was a brilliant idea. If Nintendo of America is smart (which is debatable), they’ll start airing this one on TV pronto.
Speaking of TV, any of you see the commercials forNew Super Mario Bros Wiithat are making the rounds right now? They’re nothing mind-blowing or anything, but they do show exactly how aSuper Mariomovie should be done, with the “Mushroom Kingdom logic” naturally integrated into the real world.
