Probably should have made Gist's theme "Take what's mine" since he is the Taker of Gist.

He would have won anyway without the assitance.

I really shouldn't have bet my rare jade gerbil collection on an animated wrestling match. Damn. I demand a re-match but with a neutral animator of my choice.

That, or I'll go double or nothing that Gist wont fit into that belt.

Knowing 3 out of 5 of those bloggers, I concur, they ARE neat. But they're not an animated hippo.

Bathroom Hippo said...


He'll probably just eat the belt.

Arcturus said...

Bathroom Hippo: thank you for your nice compliment about me and my blog. unfortunately, re. your explanation, i didnt' understand any of it -- i really am computer illiterate in many ways.

re. Arcturus and the Arcturans, well, truth be told, we moved our main base to a Club Med resort in the tropical south pacific.

actually, i was once an astronomy writer and i just like the name. 'sirius' (#1 brightest after the Sun) is the name i reserved for this fellow i totally fell for who can't stand me; 'canopus' (#2 brightest) sounds weird; and 'alpha centauri' (#3 brightest) is way too pretentious. So i'm arcturus, #4.

rich: i never could be an animated hippo. now i do have a plush hippo stuffed animal ... but he's usually not too animated. he just sorta sits there on my bed during the day, unless unbeknownst to me he flies around the room when i'm not there.

JLee said...

aw, I feel so special*

*I hope I'm one of the 3 that are neat...

Anonymous said...

You're a little untidy JLee (ba-boom, cymbol) but yes, I would count you as one of the three.

JLee said...

yeesssss

I forgot to say, great animation Hippo! although the nudity is a bit offensive...

Bathroom Hippo said...


The FCC has been on my case for weeks.

No Tiner Tott appearance? Not even to bring out the belt? Hmmmph ;)

Bathroom Hippo said...


Working on a "cartoon tina" as well as others. You'll be displayed before Halloween.

We don't like thumbs-up because of the connotations. Anything to do with our defeat at the hands of the Roman Empire still strikes a nasty chord with us. Even the battles Australia won in the second punic wars cant erase the memory.

:-) Thanks for the shoutout.

SafeTinspector said...

Hey! Thanks for the reference.
Where I'm at I can't see the animation (can't download the plugin), but I'll assume it involves a hippo.
I'll check to see if my guess is correct later!

Big Ben said...

That was funny. Hogan over Edge?

Bathroom Hippo said...


Nope. Hogan over Randy Orton.

Library Mama said...

I'm speechless.

Not a wrestling fan really, but to each his own.

As always good work - and early too!

Take care.

Bathroom Hippo said...


Hey Avenger,

Didn't know you could say anything other than "caw"...

I'll see what I can do...
Won't be the next one...but I'll try to include you before Halloween. I've got a bunch of links I need to add, and characters I need to draw.

Woohoo I'm going to be "displayed" before Halloween...is that a good thing? ha

Better be! My b'day is comin up :P

Mentok said...

I knew the outcome of the match before it started. OOO-WEEE-OOO.

Lindsey said...

Met up with in real life? Me and Px met while I was in London.

Gyrobo said...

Your motion control is getting better and better. I suppose the next logical progression would be to have things change shape on impact... but that would just be insane.

Bathroom Hippo said...


Indeed.

Arcturus said...

I suppose the next logical progression would be to have things change shape on impact.

Hi Bath-Hippo: I've sorta lost the theme of the thread... What is supposed to change on impact?

Bathroom Hippo said...


Not sure myself.

Gyrobo said...

The shape of the object. You know, like the Gist squishing as he hits the pole, little things like that. Elasticity.

Bathroom Hippo said...


Hey you! Robot. I think I would know a little something about how Gist reacts when he hits the pole.

Lol J/k.

JLee said...

"JLee Journalism" hahaa
I like it!

I think the next movie theme should be a love story, something along the lines of "Gone with the Wind."

Bathroom Hippo said...


I like your thinking! I was thinking something along those lines as well. Actually I just wanted to steal that idea.

A. B. Chairiet said...

I love Gone with the Wind...

I hope you're well.

Best of luck with your next movie. :)

Happy Monday!

Ticharu said...

Wrestling is SO fake! You didn't really hit that guy with a blunt object, come on!

Arcturus said...

Hi Bath-Hippo: Thank you for adding me to your "rivals" list -- although I certainly don't think of you as a rival!! I really need to make my own links list. I think I'll give that a try a bit later today.

flatlander said...

Gist is on steroids.

Why do you think they call him "The Taker"?

Anonymous said...

Hewo

Library Mama said...

What exactly do you mean by "new voices"? New characters who speak, or new people doing voices?

Am I making any sense? I'm so tired!

Looking forward to Wednesday's premiere.

Lee Ann said...

You are such a pro at this Hippo!
Love it!

Bathroom Hippo said...


Mrs. M - Both!

Lee Ann - Thanks Lee Ann. I learn as I go.

SafeTinspector said...

OK, I finally watched it. That was hilarious!

Now, as for voices, what speak you of? Do you wish for others to speak or suggestions for voices you shall place upon the 'toon?

Fleur de Bee said...

hahah Loved it. I think you need some girls in the mud for the next one! lol. Better yet a MILF...as in JLee! There ya go.

Bathroom Hippo said...


Safe T: I'll be more clear about it after I post the new Flash movie tonight.

Ballerina: LOL!
