Our Favorite Flipnotes from last weeks Topic "Mansions"

While Glance is out, Gaze has a go at some mansion styled home improvement, in this Weekly Topic winning Flipnote by CosmicGAZ.

However, her paycheck doesn’t quite cover the transformation she was hoping for, which fails somewhat on its structural integrity the instant Glance returns home!

Whoops!

Beautifully written and illustrated, Watson inc brings us a fascinating Countdown of five crazy things you might find inside a mansion.

From a giant front door and a car elevator, to a central vacuum cleaning system, each pictorial installment comes with its own description, including highly specific details of usage and construction.

If we ever got our own mansions, we’d definitely want one with all of these.

How cool would that be!

Following a mysterious map to a creepy mansion, Luigi searches for his brother Mario in this spooky topic winner by Soupersoup.

But is everything just what it seems…….?

Stately homes often have many beautiful and restful places built into their design.

This mansion, illustrated by joelmango has an attractive, window lined courtyard which also features a water fountain.

Created by Emery in the style of a first-person computer game, this mansion harbors within its walls a horde of axe wielding enemies!

Enter at your peril!

This Weeks Topic - "Shaun The Sheep"

“Baaah Meeeh Baaah!”

It’s Fandom Topic time again.

And this time it’s the turn of Shaun The Sheep!

Created by Nick Park of Aardman Animations, Shaun The Sheep was first seen in the stop-motion classic movie “A Close Shave”.

He then went on to star in his own television series and movies, which also featured the farmer, Blitzer the sheep dog, and an entire flock of his woolly friends.

Your Flipnotes could be inspired by Shaun The Sheep in any way you like;

Its characters, its comedy and shenanigans, or its bleating dialogue.

Don’t be sheepish, have a go! Start making a Shaun The Sheep Weekly Topic Flipnote today!

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 - Shaun The Sheep and the deadline for your entries is (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.
