Well done to everyone who entered.

Sporting excellent New Year hats, a pair of street party revelers see in 2024 with an explosive alternative to The Ball Drop in this ground leveling Topic winner by Joshua.

Animated with both lip-synched and annotated dialogue, as well as broad flicker, the action includes a bomb rotating through a pitching aerial view, along with a before and after landscape that exemplifies turn of year devastation perfectly.


Featuring selections from all this creator’s Flipnotes of 2023, CosmicGAZ skillfully blends together the animations with all new, and unique transitions for this spectacular Amalgamation MV.

Wow! What an impressive year indeed.


It’s been a very bad year for this creator. And one that should be smashed into a million pieces, as we see in this impassioned retribution on the year just gone by Cosmirage.

We particularly enjoyed the steely eyed mix of PC and Portrait in the introduction that sets the mood beautifully before 2023 gets its shattering due!


ThisAusB23 celebrates The New Year with this splendid Flipnote illustration of their Profile Character jumping for joy.

A comedy hooter sound effect also adds greatly to the fun!


As the New Year's Eve clock counts down to midnight, a characterization of 2023 itself is bid a sympathetic farewell by a friend in this well voice-acted Topic winning Flipnote by williamL➕.


A sassy Profile Character gets more hindrance than help with their New Year’s resolutions in this hilarious winning Topic entry by SkrillStar.

Woah……That PC looks seriously miffed!


What better way to honor the New Year than with sparklers. Which are animated in this entry with exceptional cast lighting effects created by Omar gael.


This Weeks Topic - "Mountain Climbing"

Mountain climbing can be an exercise, a record breaking sport, or historically, a world first achievement, as it was with the race to summit Mount Everest.

Utilizing ropes, cams, harnesses, crampons, axes, and a variety of other specialized gear, it’s extremely dangerous but, as many climbers will tell you, is really the ultimate thrill!

Create your Flipnotes to focus on any type of mountain climbing you choose, and in any animation or drawing style you like.

Use your OCs, research the techniques, create mountains of your own making and concur them!

The climb could be hard, and the reward great.

But in the end, the adventure is yours!

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 - Mountain Climbing and the deadline for your entries is January 14th (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.
