Fan Spotlight ๐ŸŒž Poptropica: The Movie

Hey Poptropicans, this is aย guest postย by Invisible Ring.ย Enjoy!

Monochrome: These colors don’t run.

Hey there, Poptropica fans! Hope things are going well for you all. (Youโ€™ll probably tell me they arenโ€™t though, with the complicated alarms of Poptropicaโ€™s end and everything, but I had to say it anyway.)

Iโ€™m Invisible Ring, and Iโ€™m here to share with you something that should’ve shown up as a guest post on the Poptropica Creators’ Blog many months ago. Itโ€™s not my (still upcoming) pirate movie, but a retro movie I found long ago while I made my first movie. Introducing one of my all-time favorite fan productions: Poptropica: the Movie!

In this by-fan, for-fan production, from the vault of “Production Poptropica”: A normal kid (Spotted Bubbles, aka Graham Burrell), whose favorite thing in the world is Poptropica, is called on a special quest in the Great Beyond, where his Poptropican adventuring skills are put to the test. Loaded with action and laughs, this movie is not just about the world of Poptropica, but also the real world from which it came.

โ€ฆYou see, it was just around this time of year when I found this movie (from 2011!) and watched it. And although it wasnโ€™t a holiday program, it gave me great cheer for the cold dark winter, and I hope itโ€™ll give all of you great cheer, too. I bet we all could use it right about now.

Hope you enjoy the movie, and stay tuned for more Invisible Ring guest posts like this one that never got to go on the Poptropica Creatorsโ€™ Blog!

Let’s Explain the Poptropica Iceberg! No Comment? ๐ŸงŠ

Good eveningโ€” or good morning depending where you live. Are you ready for Pop news? Let’s go!

Pop player KrishMortyJunior aka Krish made a video called “The Poptropica Iceberg Explained”. The 18-minute video covers each layer of the Poptropica iceberg, which details fun facts, Easter eggs, notable creators, and scrapped content relating to the game. Check it out:

There are so many facts covered in the video that you’re bound to learn something new. And we appreciate the inclusion of the PHB around the 5:44 minute mark โ€” thanks, Krish! ๐Ÿฅฐ


In other blog-related news, it looks like we can no longer leave comments under posts on the Poptropica Creators’ Blog. We find that pretty suspicious, since fans have been calling for the Creators to update their blog, which has been silent since February. Instead of answering fans’ cries, they cut off one avenue of communication.

The Pop Creators’ Blog no longer accepts new comments.

What’s going on behind the scenes? The game still receives small updates, but the Creators don’t talk about anything outside of social media. For example, they recently shared a “Popstorm” tutorial on drawing a planet using artwork from Galactic Hot Dogs. It’s neat but nothing substantial, even with the Gatorade joke in the caption.

Poptropica is definitely in a weird state. At least fans like Krish are able to keep the game alive. If you want to talk to fellow fans, come join us over on our Discord server,ย the Poptropica Help Chat (for ages 13+).

Thank you for reading, and have a good day!

Fan Comic: PoptropiCon Saga, Part 4/5 ๐Ÿ’ฅ

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Invisible Ring. Enjoy!

Invisible Ring is BACK! And she has two things to sayโ€ฆ

First, I am so happy that I finally won the Poppies!! (My clubhouses and my pirate movie trailer won by a landslide, but did you know I have a NEW pirate trailer? If you’re asking “Where’s that pirate movie?” …well, none of my guest posts with that answer have come out on the Creators’ Blog yet, so I’m sharing my new trailer here โ€” and it speaks for itself!

Second,ย where have I been all summer? Turns out, I’ve been working on my PoptropiCon Saga the whole way through, and now, I am finally ready to present Part 4! (Get up to speed with Parts 1, 2, and 3 here.)

โ€ฆand the REAL battles begin NOW.

Enter Dimension Z; the last Poptropica dimension and ground zero of the ultimate evil mastermind’s reign. 

Only a war zone such as this can strike despair into the hearts of every hero who dares to come, and the forces of evil are sure to turn the alien world into a living nightmare! 

…But take heart. With a new dimension comes the arrival of a new hero. But who is this hero, and how exactly does he tie into all the PoptropiCon chaos? In the brunt and the calm of this fearsome storm of events, the plot thickens and the mysteries unravel. What will you discover between the pages? Find out all this and moreโ€ฆ if you dare! Bwaa-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Every Poptropica Mini-quest Ranked ๐Ÿ—บ

Islands may be Poptropica’s backbone, but mini-quests also offer fun games to play between island releases. Let’s get a closer look! ๐Ÿ‘€

As a sequel to the hour-long “I played and ranked every Poptropica island so you don’t have to…”, which recently won runner-up for Best Fan Video in our 2023 Poppies awards, veteran Poptropican Jake Miller (Neat Sun) is back with another Pop drop: ranking every* Poptropica mini-quest. Don’t worry, this one’s only 20 minutes. Check it out:

Like before, Jake used the unofficial Flashpoint download to access many of the old mini-games โ€” more about that in our Old Islands Guide. However, not every mini-game is still playable, and some can only be explored through old fan videos (or our mini-game guides).

*Although Jake takes us through many mini-quests, including a couple on the Nintendo DS, the video misses a few newer releases from Haxe Poptropica. He also doesn’t go through the bonus quests that some classic islands had, though he suggests it could be a future video. Anyway, here’s his tier list (S-tier as best, D-tier as worst):

Cool video, Jake! It’s fun to see many of these classic games live on in memory, and at least some are still playable with Flashpoint.

What did you think of the rankings? Share with us in the comments!
