And now, here are the winning Flipnotes from last week's topic "A.I. Artificial Intelligence".

Well done to everyone who entered.

In this Topic winning Flipnote created by Khaki Cap, an A.I. build seems to be going purrrfectly, until Robo Gatto jolts mechanically to life!

We loved the storytelling structure, and editing here, which comes complete with a delightful exterior intro, and musical lead-in. As well as the fantastic robot animation, and unnerving A.I. voice of a construct that is about to cause all kinds of trouble!

The audio from the film “The Terminator” is the chilling inspiration for this Topic winner by Beandags, about a relentless A.I. assassin!

An impressive reimagining of a classic from the Sci-Fi genre, the character performance, and weapon animation are truly first class.

All of which plays out beautifully to the ominous movie dialogue of Kyle Reese.

The epic Rap-Battle of history has finally arrived!

And hilariously, it’s between an A.I. and Bill Nye The Science Guy in this weekly Topic winning Flipnote by TensDraw2.

Mixing line drawn characters, and creative photo imports, the energetic action explodes in a musical face-off between the scientist and his nemesis.

But who will be the winner?

In the end, only you can decide!

When an anime A.I. proves to be an enormous disappointment, the only reaction is pure rage in this tantrum-tastic Topic winner by Sh0rtiot.

Wow! That PC has definitely made its last miscalculation!

This wonderful piece of Photo Flipnote Art by pepper featuring the T-800 Terminator, really brings home the terrifying reality of an A.I. apocalypse with its highly emotive soundtrack.

Great job with the audio, and very nicely done!

This Weeks Topic - "Hamsters"

Hamster: A solitary burrowing rodent with a short tail and large cheek pouches for carrying food.

Totally adorable, and a popular choice for an animal companion, hamsters love to run in hamster wheels, and can also get around with extraordinary efficiency in transparent perspex hamster balls, which provide protection from our domestic environment, while allowing them to exercise freely in their homes.

Your Topic entries could feature hamsters in anyway you like;

Through observational animation, cartoon characters, photos, drawings, or why not even try hamster-ising your O.C.s

How would they fare in a hamster wheel?

We really love the way you're all so creative with these topics and look forward to seeing the Flipnotes you create for them.

Make sure to post your entries to the Weekly Topic channel Weekly Topic - Hamsters and the deadline for your entries is September the 29th (12pm EST / 4pm GMT).

We would also encourage you to add a description to your Flipnotes. This is your opportunity to explain any points of interest and specific details that we could feature in the topic winner reviews.

And don't forget, if you want a cool thumbnail picture on your Flipnote, whichever frame you save the Flipnote on, that will become the thumbnail. So choose your favorite frame for this, or add in a cool title page at the end, and save on that.

Keep on Flipnoting and the best of luck with your entries.
