What happens

Animator vs. Animation (AvA) is an American animated web series created by Alan Becker. The original animation was first published on Newgrounds on June 3, 2006, with a sequel following five months later. Almost every installment is animated in either Adobe Animate or Blender, with live-action scenes also being incorporated into the series, starting with the fourth episode. The premise of the web series is a stick figure attempting to escape the animation program in which it was created, either by using the built-in animation tools or through sheer brute force. The series contains almost no spoken dialogue. Known for its unique concept and high-quality animation, it became an immediate internet hit, receiving 4.78 stars on Newgrounds and 80 million views on YouTube. The fourth installment gained almost 5 million views on YouTube within a month. A Kickstarter campaign for a reboot episode of the series was created on July 10, 2013, reaching their $10,000 funding goal on August 9, 2013. The episode was released on October 2, 2014. Multiple browser game adaptations of the series have been created, including one in 2006 titled Animator vs. Animation Game: SE, developed by Charles Yeh. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
