History WebAnimation / XiaoXiao

''Xiao Xiao'' is a [[WebAnimation flash series]] created by Zhu Zhiqiang, a Chinese animator. The movies consist of stick figures fighting each other in choreographed scenes. There's not much else to it; people beating the crap out of each other is it's only highlight. And what a highlight it is as it gained a lot of popularity in Website/{{Newgrounds}} during the early 2000s. It can be found [[http://zhu.newgrounds.com/ here]].

* ForeignLanguageTitle: The first episode was named "Xiǎo Xiǎo Zuò Pǐn", or "A Little Bit of Creative Work". Every episode after that was a numbered sequel simply named "Xiao Xiao #".

* VerbThis

* GoodColorsEvilColors: The main villain, apparently called "Boss", is purple. In Xiao Xiao 3, he's black until he prepares to fight the hero, at which point he becomes purple.

* ShoutOut: It's very blatant that the series was inspired by kung-fu films and ''Film/TheMatrix''.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHera: the very last Mook in Xiao Xiao 3 tries to make a break for it instead of fighting. It doesn't work.

* {{Badass}}: The main protagonist, to OneManArmy levels, best showcased in the third installment.

** Much like the {{Badass}} entry above, this is also best showcased in the third episode. [[spoiler: Especially when the protagonist makes it to the "Boss", who proceeds to hand him his ass for 2/3 of their fight.]]

* DownerEnding: Xiao Xiao 8, which ends with the bad guy getting away after a motorcycle chase and our protagonist reduced to hitchhiking with no success. There was supposed to be a third installment of the "Mutilator" series that would wrap things up, but [[OrphanedSeries it never got made]]. Unless you consider the ninth episode/game to be the third installment.

The series has sadly been [[OrphanedSeries discontinued]] since 2002. Zhiqiang was last heard to be animating advertisements for Chinese companies, but very little is known whether he's still involved in it or not.

* DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: In episode six both fighters continue to fight as ghosts after they die, and fighting as a ghost really isn't that different. Hell, Mr. Boss doesn't even notice he's supposedly dead until after he sees his corpse.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: All of Xiao Xiao 3. All of it. When it first came out, there was nothing else like it, not even the previous installments. It was face-melting.
