In this stylish Topic winner by ※Blazie※, a large shadowy cat finds their true colors with feline stealth, and pink champagne!
All of which segues beautifully to the trumpet and sax movie theme tune from The Pink Panther, by Henry Mancini.
lampo shows us the importance of keeping tempo, while playing the trumpet in a band, in this winning Flipnote orchestral animation.
The straight backed box-figure posing, and rhythmical foot tapping movements are highly realistic, making the point, both convincingly, and artistically.
When confronted about a license, a trumpet busker makes a break for it in this hilarious, audio inspired, comedy skit by 😑derphead😑.
Although, unfortunately for their escape does fall rather flat!
Armed with a drum, and a trumpet, a stick man duet plays a classic Pokemon battle song in this lively MV created by RandomExp.
Let the musical showdown commence!
Brighten up your day with the merriest of trumpet tunes, as played in this fabulous profile character MV by Kêithkash★.

Through sketched lines, overdraw, and paintbrush shade, a trumpet in the hand finds form upon the page, in this winning animated draw by Sir Neo.
This Weeks Topic - "A.I. - Artificial Intelligence"
A.I. or artificial intelligence is a concept of science fiction that predicts machines, robots, and computers will develop their own intelligence, and awareness of self.
For humans, this of course, could prove disastrous, as our creations might decide not to serve, and instead, turn against us!
Many movies have explored this idea over the years. For example:
2001 A Space Odyssey (1968), West World (1973), Short Circuit (1986), Bicentennial Man ((1999), AI (2001), I Robot (2004), WALL-E (2008) The Matrix (1999).
Your Flipnotes could involve Artificial Intelligence. in any way you wish.
Take your inspiration from popular culture, or the technology around us, that we all take for granted. And make some bizarre predictions all of your own!
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 - A.I. Artificial Intelligence and the deadline for your entries is September 22nd (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.
