I don't know what to say! That was both amazing, and disturbing! I'm looking forward for this. 2009-12-26 02:36:00

Thank you so much for featuring this, it means a lot!

I'm just about wrapping up work on the last episode and soon I'm going to be doing the voicework. All 3 episodes will be released the same day so people can enjoy all 35 min of the cartoon in one sitting.

Stay Tuned everyone

So excited this is finally happening, for a moment there I thought it would remain in development hell because of a lack of time.

Pretty sure I will have to watch it a couple of times to completely graps everything.

Looks pretty interesting, but I'm not sure about the brief scene at the :39 mark. It didn't seem entirely appropriate for this site.

Unless I misinterpreted something, which I don't think I did.

Not trying to bring down the project, I'm waiting anxiously to see what you've come up with, but we need to make sure we don't offend anyone (as we are a family friendly site).

MM honestly posts inappropriate things on their site, which then get automatically posted to this site, a lot.

Like one of the links on the Vera Bee sticker kit article, which linked to drawings of naked women...

if humping robots is bad, imagine what nirvana could do to the precious yet-untouched minds of the... hundreds of people under the age of 13... that probably use the computer a lot and go on this site and happen to look at that video and notice the faint terrorizing emotional-tainting moment at :39 and think about it long enough for it to do any long-term mental damage.

just wait and see what the internet's like when they go to newgrounds XD

Wow! Your good... not sure I got even that much out of it? Needless to say as an animation buff I'm interested and voted--Hey kids you can VOTE everyday for your new favorite robot porn...

As for me. I did not think 'them' robots... and even if I did-- the entire emotional tone of that piece is inappropriate as front page news, Compher is right-- Now go on freaking vacation would you?

It's actually rather risque, and on Christmas day? Was i inadvertently redirected? Oh you world-wide-web you!

I think making this video front page news on any day says something about this site... don't really know if its good or bad... but it definitely changes the way I think about it.

Its like my five year olds christmas pic he drew, I asked, "Whats this?" pointing to a red glob and he said, "Oh! Thats the snowman, he's leaning down near the pool of collected blood. He heard the shot and came rushing over...see? He's putting his finger in it and saying "oh no! Thats not strawberries!" See here the gun coming out of the moon?
Those aliens got big guns dad...They kill dead-- one shot ba-boom. Truth be told he's a fair artist... and it all was rather entertaining... and i recognized 'the moon' as 'my moon' so it's lbp related-- just not front page news.

I'm actually glad LBP is being turned into a show, but I think I can say this show is... well I'll say it as a critic.

"What did you do to Sackboy!? This looks like 9 and Silent Hill decided to have a child named Little Big Apocalypse. If your aiming for creepy, then you have good accuracy. If you're trying to spread word of LBPCentral and LBP for both PS3 and PSP, then I don't think it's really good. This is better off as a Left 4 Dead trailer, because LBP is family friendly, not make children fear for their lifes when they see a sack of potatoes."

Sorry for that. Other than that, can't wait to see what happens.

LBP isnt turning into a show, it is an animated feature inspired by lbp and snowspot's own levels which, if you played them, basically have the same vibe of this upcoming animated feature.

It is a continuation of his levels, the epic finale/conclusion if you will.

That said, besides my personal affection for this project, I also agree that the "unrated trailer" might not be frontpage material on a family friendly site...unfortunately, this site has no real safe place to put it...which is a shame.

'twas joking, lol. just didnt think that we should all be constantly surrendering anything above the rated g mark for the sake of something [thats not a big deal] that MIGHT happen, is all.

I think the idea of this project is cool, but I am also concerned about the content. One of LBP's strengths is its family friendliness. I know one of the main reasons Clarie (my wife) plays this is because it isn't about blood, guts, gore and sadness.

I totally support snowspots work on this but I think it should be in the 'other media' section with a strong warning on the door.

It's from the recently released Major Lazer mini-mix from BBC radio 1.
It's a mashup of kurt cobain and major lazer.

...And I completely agree... there is no, 'that problem' for me... For me, it just has absolutely nothing to do with LBP.

It's tone is objectionable for a website that I never before had to have a concern if my five year old sat in my lab while I browsed it. With this video featured as it is.... that can no longer happen and that is sad.

I have supported the artist and the art. Just don't think it should be supported on the front page. With that said, I now have to call into question the integrity of the artist as apparently I am good enough to be pandered to for a vote yet do not warrant a thank you for it.

Well all the pictures and leaks up until now have really peeked my interest but that video kinda....revealed the actuality of this...cartoon, hardly lbp related, only thing I saw that was lbp related was the pattern of that characters skin and a crown. Rest seemed like some disturbed childish weirdness. Regarding that scene every ones so concerned about, I don't know if that is just a one time incident that was unsafely placed in the trailer or a purposely placed warning. But until that is clarified I think we might as well drop it and discuss the whole series, or at least the whole trailer, and not just those 3 seconds of the trailer. I will watch this animation because i do believe everything deserves a chance, maybe two, but i gotta say I'm kinda off-put.2009-12-28 06:36:00

Don't worry, in a few days the news will cycle through and this hellish nightmare will end, I just hope the other 5 year olds on this message board survive, let us pray.

Show this (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/291339) to your 5 year old instead

It's all LBP related but it's also connected to the Little Big Apocalypse series of levels I did.

I understand your concerns but I'm confident you will happy with what I come up with. Just remember, this is 35 min condensed into 1, there is a lot you haven't seen yet.

Well it's been a few months since I've done anything with Reboot... but the later episodes are a hint of what I am doing with Little Big Apocalypse. I've gotten much better... and you'll see that I"m no stranger to video-game tie-in's.

Reboot was about a computer being invaded and various files, including videogame files, trying to prevent the collapse of the system. It is a violent-anime-musical, it's actually still on-going, I have to 2 episodes almost completed that I have to finish up after Little Big Apocalypse.

people can watch Reboot at my newgrounds page (jmartin97.newgrounds.com)

For me, Little Big Apocalypse has always been about creating something totally different in LittleBigPlanet - something that isn't inspired of anyone else's work.

This video definately adds to the experience - nice job!
