Into the Canvas is a web-animated Object Show and the reboot of Object Show created by Zojo
on 25th August 2021.
A human recently bought a landscape painting for cheap for his living room but when he was not looking, it suddenly starts glowing and sucked up random objects around his house into a mysterious world.
These twenty-four inanimate objects were brought to life and as they take in their surroundings, along comes Picture who gives them a very special offer: Join his gameshow for a chance to win a special elusive prize!
The show can be seen on this official playlist.
The show contains the following tropes:
- Adapted Out: Nine contestantsnote from the previous iteration of the show were replaced by twelve completely different objects as they were not interesting enough to keep around according to
Word of God. - A Dog Named "Dog": Or An Object Named "Object" alternatively.
- Alliterative Name: Bulletin Board.
- Animate Inanimate Object: What would an Object Show be without these but in a twist, the contestants were just ordinary household objects without pre-established sentience until Picture brought them to life for his competition.
- Anthropomorphic Food: Sentient sugary foods are Candy Corn, Cookie Butter, Energy Drink and Popsicle.
- Armless Biped: There are five contestants who play it straightnote and Baby Mobile who inverts it.
- Blank White Void: What Picture's dimensional world initially looked like before he changed it to suit his competition show better.
- Canon Foreigner: Half of the contestantsnote were not present in the original iteration of the show as they were meant to replace the ones who got Adapted Out.
- Cool Shades: Energy Drink has a pair of these since the beverage is usually marketed and associated with coolness.
- Transplant: Fourteen objects from Object Show returned either as contestantsnote or the hostsnote .
- Mood-Swinger: Baby Mobile is usually meek and apologetic but can become more aggressive and rude on a dime, with her light switching from blue to red to reflect the change, which is something she isn't in control of.
- Mythology Gag: Object Show's first intro had objects lying around a house before being sucked into a picture which is how the contestants came to be in Into The Canvas.
- No Mouth: Bass is incapable of speech, only music notes, due to his lack of mouth in contrast to Oscillator who doesn't have this problem and talks just fine.
- Portal Picture: Picture abducted all of the contestants by sucking them into his painting containing a pocket dimension. The second episode has two drones accessing the portal as well.
- Token Human: The unnamed house owner (revealed to be named 'Thomas Bourne' in the credits of Episode 2) who bought Picture is the only non-object of the cast. He is depicted as a featureless silhouette who is confused about where his stuff went, thinking it was robbers.
