SaturdayMorning

A red coffee cup mascot in yellow boots, striding
An open blue book sprinting in red sneakers
A pink old desktop computer walking, carrying a yellow bag

No video up here. These are three still pictures. Look at the lines.

Line boil

Animators redrew each frame, so the lines never sat still. Two dials do it now: how far, and how often.

amount:1A blue spotted frog strolling on a lime ground, barely moving
amount:3The same frog with a gentle wiggle
amount:6The same frog with a strong wiggle
amount:12The same frog, wobbling wildly
fps:4A pink bomb in a panic, ticking over slowly
fps:8The same bomb at eight drawings a second
fps:12The same bomb at twelve drawings a second
fps:24The same bomb at twenty-four drawings a second

Poke them

Go on. They can take it.

A cool sun in star sunglasses holding a popsicle
A green sheet of snack characters
A howling blue wolf head
A grinning sandwich on legs
A lemon winking with its tongue out
Retro gadgets with faces, stacked: a camera, a radio, a phone and a cassette player
A grid of small bright characters

On twos

Real animated clips this time. The sets drop in on six stepped frames, with no in-betweens.

Scribble here

Got a mouse? Run it across this page. The gang follows you and falls off.

Fat panel

Got a mouse? Lean on one panel and it shoves the others aside, with a bounce at the end.

Toy box

Press a button and the picture really flies over, then lands in the box with a ring.

A howling wolf head
A grinning sandwich on legs
A winking lemon

The end

Every wiggle on this page was one attribute. Nobody drew a thing.
