Our Favorite Flipnotes from last weeks Topic "The Fox"
Get your pointy ears at the ready for this pulse pounding Sudomemo Fox MV by QAZWSXEDC.
Mixing classic animations with beat perfect timing, it thrills us with many foxy shenanigans, as well as asking the question on everybody's lips……
“What does the fox say?”
[unknown]
As I’m sure we all know, foxes have built in laser beams, which they often use in the wild to subdue their prey.
Checkout this fascinating and informative Topic winner by kit to see this wonder of the natural world in full effect.
It’s the truth, honestly!!!
Composed with strong curving arcs and dynamic flare, this “Special Team Fox-note” illustration by Nester captures the energy of movement in a still image with stunning results.
We were also totally blown away by the awesome bullet trail run!
Wow!
The mysterious nature of what the Sudomemo Fox has to say is investigated yet further in this Weekly Topic winning entry by TB64.
Placed in an interview setting the Fox’s grilling is short and to the point. But will an answer be forthcoming?
Listen closely to find out!
This Weeks Topic - "Licking Your lips"
We lick our lips in anticipation, or enjoyment of delicious food.
In animation this is a great facial gesture to use, and can be accompanied with lip-smacking, yummy sounds, and the classic “Mmmmmmm”.
Why not choose your favorite food as an inspiration for your Flipnote, and use your characters, OCs, faces, or just a drawing of the mouth itself to create a lip-licking animation for this tasty Topic!
Here are some lip-licking links to cartoons and sound effects you might find useful:

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 - Licking Your Lips and the deadline for your entries is December 3rd (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.
