The students in Pratt's digital arts program were inspired by Kidrobot's newest platform toys and appropriated the KR forms to produce this animation, the producti of a Fall 2009 course:
It's as if the Pratt students chose to digitally customize the forms of Munny, Rooz, Trikky, Raffy, and Bub. What's most interesting about this is how the characters are given personalities and come to life. There has been word that a Kidrobot feature film is in production (the date of completion is unclear). If part of the charm of these toys is that they are invented characters that exist independent of any other media, how will this feature film affect their conception and consumption? What happens when Munny becomes a movie star?
