Our Favorite Flipnotes from last weeks Topic "The Perfect Heist"

Our first selection this week, by Mario209, features Peter Parker, in a perfect heist, at a Pizza shop! The cartoon style mix of drawing and photos for the character's heads, works brilliantly! We loved the use of movie audio for the dialogue too.

This next, beautifully animated selection, by CerealBowl, is inspired by the movie 'Despicable Me'. In it the self proclaimed, greatest evil villain in the world, proposes a heist, using a shrink ray. With his 'Gorls' to help him, will he succeed?

In this hilarious Flipnote, by Kêithkash★, an attempted bank heist falls flat on it's face, when the desperate criminal is informed, that he has no funds in any of his accounts.

The cinematography and action, are choreographed perfectly, in this thrilling Jewel heist Flipnote, by -Phantom-. The sneaking around, and darting the guard, had us on the edge of our seats, but alas, the Jewel itself, is a fake! :O

In this tongue-in-cheek, action packed entry, by ThisAusB23, the genius cat-burglar uses water bombs, party spray and an apple, to steal an enormous diamond. The dialogue performance is totally brilliant, and the music was just the perfect choice. That's mission accomplished!
