Nice

(also, reminded me a little of this site, advertising the videogame Fable)

Three of my favorite things: dinosaurs, robots and popup books. Thanks so much for this.

Clever (but not as good as the real thing).

It's good, but it's no

Bizz-AR
I thought the dinosaur said "and I don't even want to talk to you" and it made me laugh. But I think this was obviously made for a kid, so that wouldn't really be appropriate, I guess.

After the first animation, I expected the next frame to show me how it could have been implemented in paper.

The next animation let me know that it isn't really about popup books.

It seemed a little too wordy to be aimed at little kids, but the moral was too fey for older kids. I really enjoyed the tab animations, except that the animations featuring dialogue required a very fine set of motor skills.

FOR KIDS? OR NOT FOR KIDS? YOU DECIDE.

Yeah, I thought it was great, so my 4-year-old and I started reading it. By the end, we were skipping all the dialogue (which was a pain in the ass to attempt to read) and I just wanted it to be over. The drawings are great, the animation is very clever, but man, could it ever use some editing.

I love pop-up books and this is very cool.
I agree that there are too many words but the idea is original and great. Can't wait to see it used in other ways.
Thanks for the link, monju_bosatsu.

Argh? Popup DIALOGUE? That part was annoying.

Here's a pop-up book for adults only.
