Hey guys! It’s Ylimegirl, back by popular demand!
Today I’m here to talk about a video just posted by Poptropica’s YouTube channel, entitled “Poptropica: A fun and safe virtual world for kids!” It can also be viewed on the front page of the Poptropica website.
The video is less than a minute long and shows many of the different worlds in Poptropica.
And now, time for an over-analysis/summary of it!
The video starts off in the clouds and flies down through some islands before arriving at Mythology Island’s Mount Olympus, where we see a particularly angry Zeus send out a bolt of lightning.
Then a crowd of various Poptropica characters are shown at PoptropiCon as various streaks fly around, which are revealed to be the Mighty Action Force heroes Fashion Ninja, Goldface, Elf Archer, Teen Arachnid, and World Guy. (Nice of them to justify Elf Archer’s flying skills with some sort of… propeller-arrow thing, but how can World Guy and Fashion Ninja do it? I mean, even Teen Arachnid is a stretch with his web-slinging based on how they’re zooming around. Is it because of the magic auras? If that’s the case why did Elf Archer need the propeller-arrow? …I’m thinking too hard about this, aren’t I.)
Next a mystical space portal opens, showing us some… red glowing eyes? Dunno what that is. Maybe it’ll be relevant in the future.
Then it’s time for Zomberry Island, featuring Joe Puddy clinging to a giant blueberry rolling across a bridge. And then we get to see the Phoenix Warbird and whatever-Crawfish’s-ship-is-called fire cannons at each other. (And somehow they don’t destroy each other even though they’re approximately 10 feet apart.)
And for our closing shot, the Poptropica blimp (you can see the back view) travels over the various islands and up into the sky, revealing the title!
So, trailer! Has nice animation, but no rats. (Creators, why must you forsake us like this? You know all we truly want is rats!) They did feature Fashion Ninja and Teen Arachnid more prominently in PoptropiCon, meaning there might be more in store for that island and those characters. It also seems to hint at what’s to come with those red eyes in space. Seriously what was up with that. Well, it was a Daily Pop, but I still don’t really know what it means.
Speaking of Daily Pops, I found three others for this video: one of Mount Olympus, a rough of the blimp flying, and a 3D model of PoptropiCon. Looks like they’ve been working on this for at least six months. Well, kudos creators, all that time paid off. Looks really good!
That 3D model could possibly be a glimpse at how they’re using Unity to make a 2D game on a 3D platform. And there appears to be a more fluid animation style for Zeus and a slightly different look for the PoptropiCon heroes in the video, which might end up being related to New Pop. Or it’s just easier to animate that way, I dunno. At this point I think I’m just rambling.
So, there you have it! Proof that neither I nor Poptropica are dead.

Nice theory!
I love Poptropica
Wow! I can’t believe the creators worked on a trailer that is less than a minute for 6 MONTHS! Awesome post Ylime!
Yeah I guess that is kinda long to be working on a video that short. Although editing does take A LOT longer than the length of the video (I know this very well XD)
True, and considering they had to animate everything, the time adds up!
hmhm
omg perfect sky hi!! big fan here!!
With all that time for work it made the video really cool!
So this is what they have been working on all this time (other than Poptropica 2.0). They could have kept us a little more occupied with maybe more mini islands and stuff.
Awesome 😀
Capatain Crawfish’s Ship Is Called The Sea Chicken
Isn’t that the back view of the Poptropica Blimp?
Ah yes, it is. 😛
That was not it’s good side.
6th comment and 9th like
cool video
I can’t wait for the new pop. The trailer looks cool i just hope we don’t lose the islands.
I don’t think that Pop would be in 3d, but rather have a smoother animation 😛
I was guessing the red eyes in the portal the PCon superheros entered would be Omegon ^^
anyways that was a great video
Omegon does yellow, not purple, and only his pupils are red. The red eyes could belong to E.vile since there are those purple rocks are like those rocks from Legendary Swords, and it’s in space too.
Maybe they would belong to E.Ville. Or we’ll see in the future who it really is.
I thought so too!
I hope we can change eye color in the new pop
Guys, you know this is a trailer for the CURRENT Pop, right?
Yeah, and Legendary Swords is on the current Pop. It still exists.
Then again, they never released part two for Legendary Swords.
Hoping for AWESOME NEW VILLANS!*crosses fingers*
Tall cactus, your streak is broken. Someone commented and liked before you. LOL!!
The red eyes are obviously omegeon.
I just said Omegon’s eyes are not completely red, only his pupils. It’s definitely E.vile.
um i want to play the new pop but i don’t want the old islands to leave either
They won’t leave.
There’s a new ad on Home Island. It’s for the upcoming move Nine Lives. After you watch the video, you get a Cat on the Head prize. When you use it, you get a cat on your head.
I feel that the rats would be in a future island in the New Pop… even though they’re not in the trailer. Or idk.
I love the trailer. 😛
There’s a wheel of fortune on Home Island.
Yeah! 😀
It looks pretty cool. I almost won the grand prize!
There’s also a Nine Lives ad. It gives out a Cat on the head which is a cat hat.
Wheel grand prize prizes.
The costume which I got from the wheel of fortune:-
