This was created for my Flash Graphics class a little while back. It’s the first time I’ve used Flash to make any sort of animation, so obviously I chose Animorphs as my first project to inspire me.
This little short is purposely done in black & white. The style was inspired by several other fandoms, such as Frank Miller’s artwork from ‘Sin City’ and the simplistic figures from Pixar’s ‘Incredibles’ credit shorts.
I know that many Animorph fans often wondered what Animorphs would be like as a cartoon, which is why I made this 3 minute animation as a sort of promo trailer in my mind, something that MIGHT be submitted, someday, to be pitched for an actual Animorphs animated show. Of course, this is purely a fan project (which I got course credit for making), so I’m just glad I got the opportunity to finally work on it. It’s something that I’ve been itching to make for a while now.
So please sit down, enjoy, and comment below to let me know what you think!

That was amazing! You’re very talented. You managed to capture everything that is important in the series succinctly, but profoundly. Good job!

This is QUITE good representation. If anyone was to do a movie, it would be a wonderful introduction 😉

hi, i think that this video is amazing! but if you ever do something like it again, try making them talk or add subtitles or something. and what about erik king and auxiliary animorphs? how come no one ever talks about them, and there part in the war?

This was totally epic! This took my heart and shook it to its roots! Well, if it had any. XD I would so love it if they did an animated series in this style; I grew bored of the books because they just lost their emotion, their point. It all became so… Dark, I suppose. It lost its vision. The music was perfect, and I could tell what was going on, or what it was showing. It was just so AWESOME. I could get into the series again if they animated it like so.
