High up in their castle laboratory, a mad scientist tests a metamorphosing formula with terrifying results in this Weekly Topic winning Flipnote by Drake Star.
The twist on the classic premise with inventive character designs works brilliantly. And is expertly animated with broad, punctuated movement, and creative inbetweening, along with expertly simulated camera moves that include panning, zip-zooming, and crashing to the ground.

We loved the Doctor’s fiendish Frankenstein-like behavior, when their creation comes to life with the push of a button!
