Now this is 8bit nostalghia galore. And an intelligent story, too! (via Cartoonbrew)

I watched that just now via CB.

I wonder how he managed to achieve the very lifelike movement of the video game characters. I wonder if CelAction has a scripting thing where you can send the character off in a direction at a certain speed or whether that was all tedious manual positioning of characters.

At first I thought this was one of those videos of someone actually playing a game. lol And then I thought "No, Slowtiger wouldn't post that!" :D This is a really cool concept. I just wish they had implemented the concept with a less cliche story.

That was great, but so depressing.
Mik.."tedious manual positioning of characters" What a great description of the animation process!
