The Internet is mostly shit these days, but every once in a great while I stumble across an incredible, passion-project website.
This one is hand-animated weird art and it is worth your time as a fun decompressing thing in between your doomscrolling sessions.
I don't even know what hashtags this deserves, so it's not getting any. Boost to your friends!
@starhawk
That's delightful, thanks for sharing!
@starhawk I came across this ages back (probably from Waxy.org?) and it's been delightful getting email updates every so often. I believe they're half-way complete.
@starhawk this is incredible!

I'm putting some of my favorite scenes here. I found some hidden clickable animations
Sorry, I can't add alt texts! The app bugs each time and I loose my post. You can see popculture characters in funny situations.
@imarfisi @starhawk Wow, there is even a scene from an old Soviet movie "Prisoner of the Caucasus or Shurik's New Adventures" on the right of the third screenshot
There is a scene from the film where the Coward, the Fool, and the Pro got sedatives injections disguised as emergency vaccination, made by Shurik and it's assistant
@starhawk Robin in the Batmobile with the blow up sex doll
By God, you're right!
@sshann @AdamStuartSmith @starhawk
This is amazing
@starhawk There's a lot of great stuff here, but Geralt trying to coax Shadowfax down some stairs has to be a highlight.
@DamonWakes @starhawk it is not a Geralt, it is a Legolas from the Lord of the Rings movie
@starhawk ohh, thanks for sharing
@starhawk Wait. Where did the last 3 hours go?
Endless diversion of pop culture references. That's where.
@starhawk YOU ARE RIGHT THIS IS SO COOL LOL
@starhawk
Thanks for sharing
@starhawk I like the no-face and Chihiro from Spirited Away playing billiards at the top. This is really cool!
@starhawk If easter egg was a huge interactive panel.

@rothko @starhawk Gotcha, I understand what you mean.
If you are paranoid it doesn't mean nobody's following you :)
Although in this case I don't think there is an issue:
- malicious actor wouldn't advertise ownership,
- Belarusian government is too busy stomping out dissent in their country, so they don't have resources to spy on everybody on the internet,
- big tech is more likely to pull off such a trick, so it still makes sense to adopt some kind of protective measures.
Tracking pixels are a thing.
@starhawk what really gets me is they built their own animation/art editor and then built their own video format to get around the gif size / performance challenges ON TOP OF ALL THE PAINSTAKINGLY DETAILED ART AND ANIMATION
@starhawk this is INCREDIBLE. Thank you
@starhawk This is an excellent example of that very narrow situation where someone has far too much, yet not enough, free time.
@starhawk Great! Thanks for sharing
@starhawk I probably only get about half the references, but this is utterly delightful.
@starhawk If you find and click on Chuck Norris he will punch you in the face - try it!
@starhawk This is brilliant!
Best Where’s Wally/
Waldo ever! I found him, did you?
I'm still looking for him, but I was always terrible at the books too...
@starhawk@dice.camp
Bloody hell my phone won't load it and the pc at work almost crashed.
@starhawk What a treat!
@starhawk
It is quite brilliant
@starhawk oohh… nice
I've seen that a year or two ago, but there's actually a lot of new stuff.
@starhawk j'adore !

@starhawk KISS Kebab! :-D
@starhawk
Internet is absolutely shit... but this website you shared here is absolutely cool!
@starhawk I discovered this insane gem thanks to that project https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umvgwXINJBE
i thought this was very impressive and a cute little ode to pop culture -- then i discovered you could zoom out and scroll in four directions
@starhawk Wow, a really impressive work!
@starhawk@dice.camp
I remember visiting this site a-a-a-a-a-a-ges ago - good to see it's still going and no popups about wanting to share any data scraped with eleventy billion third-party companies
@starhawk this looks like these old massive pixel art pieces :D
@starhawk that's absolutely cool
@starhawk Ahhh, this is perfect. So much to look at.
@starhawk@dice.camp this will be habbo hotel in 2025
@starhawk bloody amazing stuff
wow ! after finding Forrest Gump close to Edward Scissorhands, I decided to set some time aside to study it deeper …
