The Sitch(utaion)

Mumbo Block is an anthology of shorts falling under the Visual Storytelling umbrella, born from a reverence for the irreverent and random.

It draws inspiration from poorly drawn yet still charming mid-2000s internet animations that refused to shy away from abrasive and nonsensical material.

No AI has been used during the production of this anthology, trying to keep in theme with the low-effort but human soul of early Internet videos.

The Creator

As a child, he was always interested in animation and the stories associated with them. Before starting this journey, he gravitated towards low-budget internet animations from the hay-days of YouTube and Newgrounds that told their stories not for any monetary gain, but because the creators simply wanted to express themselves and their love of various media in outlandish and endearing fashion.

Using Clip Studio Paint, Adobe After Effects, and his own vocal cords, he managed to turn his nightmares into reality in the form of an animated collection of shorts that will hopefully leave you disturbed and confused as to what you just witnessed.
