Web Animation: Animator Vs Animation

An animator is pitted against his creation, the Animation.

That's this work in a nutshell. But the fun part? The craziness that ensues goes on a higher level each new installment!

Created on Adobe Flash and posted on Newgrounds and Deviant ART by noogai

(who, by now, is not at all a new guy).

This series provides examples of:

Animator VS Animation 1

Badass Normal: Victim. At least, until he starts cloning himself.
Combat Pragmatist: Victim is this, much more so than his successor that appears in the sequels. To be fair, noogai created this iteration of the Animation specifically for torture (aptly naming it "victim"). It's only natural for this little guy to come up with some dirty tricks to fight back.
Me's a Crowd: Victim does this.

Animator VS Animation 2

An Ice Person: The Chosen One. He freezes Mozilla Firefox with an ice-cold hand blast.
The Bad Guy Wins: The animator manages to enslave The Chosen One in the end.
Beam-O-War: Between the Adobe Photoshop icon and the Chosen One.
Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs: The files in the Recycle Bin: "crap", "junk", and "crappy junk".
Freeze Frame Bonus: The conversation between the Animator and the programmer.
High Speed Missile Dodge: The Chosen One does this.
His Name Is...: The Animator's programmer friend was just about to reveal how to stop the Chosen One when AIM was killed.
Hoist by His Own Petard: AIM is killed when the Chosen One throws the open AIM window at him.
Shock and Awe: The Chosen One, again. Burns the Flash 8 icon with a storm cloud's lightning bolt.
Serial Escalation: In-universe example; When the Animator goes over what power level to make the new Animation, he goes through "victim", "killer", "BEAST", and finally stops on "The Chosen One".
Wreathed in Flames: When The Chosen One bursts through its restraints.

Animator VS Animation 3

Bullet Time: The video uses this frequently.
Defeat Means Friendship: After The Chosen One defeated the Dark Lord, they teamed up to get revenge on the animator.
Earth-Shattering Kaboom: One of these done by the Dark Lord and The Chosen One at the end.
Evil Counterpart: The Dark Lord, who possesses similar abilities to the Chosen One and is a red stick figure.
Evil Overlord: Averted with the Dark Lord. He's actually The Dragon, and from the moment of his creation, it's pretty much established as such.
Gondor Calls for Aid: The Dark Lord rallies the desktop icons to help fight the Chosen One.
Heel Face Turn: The Dark Lord.
- On a more meta level, the Animator. It's pretty clear that as villainous as he may be, he's pretty much defenseless and is merely trying to survive The Chosen One's Roaring Rampage of Revenge.
Hoist by His Own Petard: The Dark Lord and the desktop icons may have stood a better chance of winning had the Animator not left a game of Minesweeper open.
Screw Destiny: The Dark Lord's very purpose in life was to destroy the chosen one. They eventually team up to get revenge on the animator.
Shout Out: Pitting together the Chosen One and the Dark Lord is, of course, one to Harry Potter.
Stop Helping Me!: Subverted. You'd think Clippy offering his help to the Animator would be quite ineffectual like in real life, but he turns out to be a surprisingly competent fighter.
Stuff Blowing Up: A Minesweeper game Gone Horribly Wrong.
Unexplained Recovery: AIM. He was killed in 2. Since then, it seems the Animator revived him, or he re-installed the program.
Villainous BSOD: Literally. The Animator gets a blue screen of death at the end. And he's the Big Bad to boot.
What Happened to the Mouse??: Clippy isn't seen again after he gets kicked out of Microsoft Word.
Zerg Rush: The desktop icons gang up against the Chosen One.
