Our Favorite Flipnotes from last weeks Topic "Flamingos"

One, two……three, four, five, everyone do the flamingo jive!

Kinking a leg, and bobbing a beak, a groovy flamingo brings the shallow waters alive to the sound of the beat in this musical topic winning Flipnote by HattoDraft.

What a wonderfully catchy idea! We were dancing like flamingos for the rest of the night!


A flamingo shows just how long its neck can get in this super stretchy Topic winner by Al Ace.

After flinging its head forward, out of shot, the bird’s neck undulates as it lengthens, like a spool of line, traveling so far that it actually reappears behind it before being dragged back.

Now that’s creative thinking outside the box!


A yucky flamingo cleans its feathers thoroughly before taking flight in this Topic winning entry by felixfunny.

We love the expressive style here that works so effectively with the swooping movement of take off, as well as the drawing of the beak nuzzling deeply into the bird's feathers as it preens itself.


For the ultimate, non-fruit based refreshment, take a gulp of the new pink drink ‘Mountain Dew Flamingo’!

It’s the feathery flavor that hits the spot, in this hilarious beverage parody commercial made by miguel.

Yummy!


Rather than acquire a typical pink coloring, a young flamingo chooses vegetarianism over an all krill diet in this nature themed comedy skit created by J64.


This Weeks Topic - "The Music Box"

The music box is an automated musical instrument that produces musical notes using pins on a revolving cylinder, or disc, to pluck tuned teeth on a steel comb.

Open the lid and away lt plays!

Music boxes are usually highly decorated, and can also include revolving figures that are revealed inside when the lid opens and the tune plays.

Your animated music boxes could be as simple, or complex as you like.

You could choose your own music, design your own music-box figures (using OCs, PC, or other characters), include the music box mechanisms, or decorate them to mirror your style.

Here’s an idea. Why not customize a box that features tunes, sounds, and figures from Flipnote Studio or Sudomemo!

The choice is yours!

Let’s all create a magical music box.

This is gonna be fun!

We really love the way you're all so creative with these topics and look forward to seeing the Flipnotes you create for them.

Make sure to post your entries to the Weekly Topic channel Weekly Topic - The Music Box and the deadline for your entries is March 10th (12pm EST / 4pm GMT).

We would also encourage you to add a description to your Flipnotes. This is your opportunity to explain any points of interest and specific details that we could feature in the topic winner reviews.

And don't forget, if you want a cool thumbnail picture on your Flipnote, whichever frame you save the Flipnote on, that will become the thumbnail. So choose your favorite frame for this, or add in a cool title page at the end, and save on that.

Keep on Flipnoting and the best of luck with your entries.
