A Hilariously Round and Bouncy Physics Playground Featuring an Adorably Clueless Hunting Cheetah.

200503 (1.5) It feels just like testing a physics engine. The hunting cheetah is ridiculously cute. Created by Kyra Buschor, Anna Habermehl, Constantin Paeplow, and Philipp Wolf at the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg as official trailers for the 2013 ITFS (Trickfilm Festival Stuttgart) and FMX Conference, the 2012 animated short series "Rollin' Safari" imagines an alternate African savannah where all the wild animals are comically spherical and bloated like giant balloons. The series follows various safari creatures-including an uncoordinated cheetah attempting to chase a rotund gazelle, flamingos struggling to balance on water, and a round crocodile failing to ambush zebras-as they clumsily bounce, wobble, and roll through the wild, delivering a delightful blend of slapstick physical comedy and charming 3D character animation.

Animation is a form of visual storytelling that involves creating visual art and motion through the use of various techniques and technologies. In animation, images are manipulated to create the illusion of movement, bringing characters, objects, and environments to life. Animation can encompass a wide range of styles, themes, and intended audiences, making it a diverse and versatile form of storytelling.
