Poptropica… cartoons?

Brave Tomato

Hey guys, BT here to share with you something interesting the Creators have been working on. Based on their blog post, it’s going to be a feature for the app with original videos, called Poptropica TV! According to a tweet by Poptropica, it’s coming out next week to the app.

Earlier today on their YouTube channel, the Creators released two new videos! One is a cartoon animation narrated by Shark Guy (glad to see ya back, buddy!) about what sharks are actually like:

At the end of the shark video, the seal man at the end says “Tuna in next week!” There’s no official word yet, but it sounds like these short silly cartoons may be a weekly thing!

The second video is a Draw My Life of everyone’s favorite Mega Fighting Bots geek and Poptropica intern, Gamer Guy! Check it out:

Poptropica has been dropping hints about cartoon animations for a while now via Twitter, and it looks like they were about webtoons with voice acting such as these. What do you think of this first dose? I’m looking forward to what else this’ll bring!

BT out!

Contests

Announcing the UiPE Fan Art Contest!

Ultimate iPad Expert

This contest has ended – check out the winners in this post!

Heyyo Poptropicans, it’s Ultimate iPad Expert here.

You may remember from not too long ago when HP started a little contest. His contest brought many talented artist to draw his Poptropican, with the prize of their drawing becoming his new avatar.

Well, everyone seemed to have so much fun with it. I don’t have a whole lot of fan art on my Wiki user page. So, I thought, why don’t I do another? Announcing…

TheUiPEFanArtContest

You may make any sort of art. Computer, drawing, sketch, sculpture (although doubt anyone will do that), or whatever else. The piece of art must contain my Poptropican (either with or without the iPad, your choice). Shown below (you can see large versions of each by clicking on them):

(Extra: If you’d like to add more people to the drawing, may I suggest my twin Giant Hawk, username – joshuawesome8)

To submit your art, send it to my email: [email protected]. You may also submit your entries on DeviantArt, Tumblr, etc. if you’d like, and send me the link.

You will have two weeks to submit your art, as submissions will end on October 8. On that day, I will choose the top 3 winners.

  • The second and third places will receive a meme faced Poptropican (if they so desire), like the one I submitted for Andrew’s contest. They may choose any meme face they’d like, by sending me a link to it.
  • The first place winner will receive not only one of these, but also I will make them their own logo to use wherever they’d like. Winners will be announced the following day, on October 9.

So, get to work on your entries. I can’t wait to see what you all create! 😀

Daily Pop Peeks: PHB in Prison??

Samwow5

Hey everyone! Long time no see! I’ve been really busy in real life with stuff and haven’t had time to post – but I’m back now! Anyway, let’s get to the post!

Over the past month or so, there have been some Daily Pops suggesting a prison-themed island (refer to the Daily Pop Archive or Fishy’s post for previous ones)! All the Daily Pops for the month of September (so far), and some from August, are featured below – many are prison-themed!

As you can see on the one that’s called “Roadblock”, it looks like there are cops on the roadway and you have to get away from them! Plus, it looks like a prison cell.

“Skylines” looks like a prison near the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. BT is predicting the prison is inspired by Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary. The prison name according to the Daily Pop is Pelican Rock, and the name itself derives from the name Alcatraz Island, or Island of the Pelicans.

In the “Plate Armor” picture, there’s a little Easter egg – one of the license plates says “PHB 1”! And, since you’re here, you might have realized that that’s the name of this site, the Poptropica Help Blog. That’s so cool that the PHB will actually be referenced in the game!

I’m totally looking forward to this prison-themed island! Comment with your thoughts!

  • WHAT: Partying and playing games in Multiverse rooms on Poptropica, and chatting on the PHC
  • WHEN: Saturday, September 26th @ 8pm EST / 7pm CST / 6pm MST / 5pm PST (for those who don’t live in America, use a time converter to check when that’ll be in your time zone! In some parts of the world, it may be Sunday morning rather than Saturday night.)

The PHB’s Total-ly-not-a-Failure Timmy Failure Island Guide is now up!

Hey guys, BT here to let you all know that Timmy Failure Island is now open for members for Early Access! As for you non-members out there, don’t worry, there’s a demo available – plus, the island releases to the public on October 6th (strangely, a Tuesday) according to Poptropica’s Twitter!

release day

The written walkthrough with pictures is now available, written by yours truly, but if you prefer a video walkthrough from everyone’s favorite pirate snack, Captain Crawfish, here it is!

This island was a lot of fun for me. There was one moment that pretty much… stole the show for me; it made the whole island. I give props – I didn’t know much about Timmy Failure, and I was able to learn a bit from this island about who the characters were before I met them. This is my favorite sponsored island with the drawing style of the original source.

Well, in the meantime, here’s my ranking:

Okay you guys, have fun with Timmy Failure! And to those having trouble, don’t worry! We have a written walkthrough right here on the Poptropica Help Blog!

BT out!
