Glance and Gaze lead an all-star inclusive lineup of PC performers in this musical 10th Birthday “Hurrah” to Sudomemo created by CosmicGAZ.

It’s pixelation on the dance floor in this psychedelic, Sudomemo disco party MV created by [Will$ten].

•♥Bunny♥• impressed us greatly with this tremendous animated draw of the Flipnote Fox at their 10th Birthday party.
From start to finish, the illustrative process, including the build up and adjustments of lines, color, shading, and framing are showcased perfectly stage by stage.
This elegant animation, created by Alice Lace stars the Flipnote Fox frolicking in 10 years of Sudomemo success.
Mixing together lively text, a wagging bushy tail, and a four legged run, both the action and the audio flows beautifully in a cycle with energy and zest.

This Weeks Topic - "Palaces"
A palace is a large and impressive building that forms the official residence for the rulers of a nation.
They vary enormously in style and design, depending on the culture which built them.
Here are some examples of palaces from across the world:
Buckingham Palace (London)
The Forbidden City Palace Complex (China)
The Misore Palace (India)
Topkapi Palace (Istanbul)
Why not check them out on Google Images for visual inspiration.
Your Flipnotes could include any type of palace you like. Or why not create a palace of your own design!
Then bring your palaces to life with animated characters, action, drama, as well as perspective, movement, lighting, and all sorts of other effects.
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 - Palaces and the deadline for your entries is February 11th (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.
