Well done to everyone who entered.

High up in their castle laboratory, a mad scientist tests a metamorphosing formula with terrifying results in this Weekly Topic winning Flipnote by Drake Star.

The twist on the classic premise with inventive character designs works brilliantly. And is expertly animated with broad, punctuated movement, and creative inbetweening, along with expertly simulated camera moves that include panning, zip-zooming, and crashing to the ground.


As the introduction of a dual Topic related story, Mad Scientist Dr. Crayzo announces the completion of his Epic robot “Soap-A-Tron” in this winning topic entry by Asyraaff😃❗.

We loved the Doctor’s fiendish Frankenstein-like behavior, when their creation comes to life with the push of a button!

But what will its awesome powers be?

To find out, don’t miss the next exciting episode in the upcoming Topic “Robots”.


A mishap in the lab with a scientific breakthrough causes chaos when the scientist’s pet duck drinks the newly discovered formula, in this quack-tastic Topic winner by Jake.

No wonder he’s all of a flap!


With an angry growl, and an atomic crunch, a ‘Mad’ scientist combines the chemical formula of water in this ingeniously literal take on the Topic made by Scratchy.

Now that’s just H2OMG!!!
