Watch The Cartoon

Animation and Webisodes, in particular, are not just about telling compelling stories. The quest for creating memorable cartoons extends to the absurd. That's where Badgers comes in. The only purpose oif Badger is to inflict its viewers with a memorable song that will be hard to forget. This will propel the poor victim to send this annoying piece of animation to all it's acquaintances in desperation.

Badger has three parts, the main one is where a bunch of badgers popping from every corners are doing jumping jacks. The second part features a mushroom that looks very poisonous. Nothing happens, except for the repetitive jingle telling you that you're looking at a mushroom. Then once in a while, there's a shot with a slithering snakes that will scare you, or annoy you even more.

Badger's success is based on its annoying soundtrack that loops forever. Without the jingle, I don't believe it would work as well as it does now, or drive an entire segment of the population nuts. Badger's animation is great. The looping animation about the badgers doing jumping jacks are fun, although the mushroom is not fully coloured and the slithering snake is not that great.
