Rise of Internet and Flash Animation

See also: Flash animation

The late 1990s saw the rise of Flash animation—animated films created using the Adobe Flash animation software—produced in the U.S. and elsewhere, and distributed through the Internet. The term "Flash animation" refers not only to the file format, but to a certain kind of movement and visual style that is seen in many circles as simplistic or unpolished. There are dozens of Flash-animated television series, countless more Flash animated television commercials, and award-winning online shorts in circulation.

Some popular Flash animated cartoons include Joe Cartoons, Weebl and Bob, Happy Tree Friends, Homestar Runner, the Brackenwood Series, Making Fiends and Salad Fingers.

Famous quotes containing the words rise and/or flash:

    He is the old hunting dog of the sea
    who in the morning will rise from it
    and be undrowned
    and they will take his perfect green body
    and paint it red.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    I watched Satan fall from heaven like a flash of lightning.
