Wedding Crashers, Cake Wrecks Style
This is great stuff: not a Wreck, but fun dessert-themed claymation. Stick with it to the end for the big finale.
Many thanks to Gini N. for sending it in!
A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.
Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)

"L'Opéra imaginaire" is a french vsh/dvd a collection of 12 videos (the present video is of them) made by Guionne Leroy et Pascal Roulin in 1993. May be It would have been easy to explain it in the video description... Anyway, thanks for the subtitle work.
Someone ha WAAAAAY too much time on their hands. LOL!
Wow... I can't even imagine the number of HOURS that must have taken. Just fantastic!
That is SO cute and very well done! I'm in the animation industry myself, so I can REALLY appreciate the time and effort that went into it. Thanks so much for posting it!
That. Was. Awesome! Now I totally wish I could understand...whatever language that aria was written in (Italian?). It'd be fun to know what the song was REALLY about. :)
Oh how I love claymation. Especially with as inundated as we are with digital animation now. There is just such a charm, especially to this little dessert opera. Thanks for posting this
Sorry. Typo. That's supposed to be "had" not "ha," ha ha ha!
That was really cool. :D
wow!!!!! amazing.
Thank goodness it had a happy ending... I was worried it would ruin my love of pastry forever if the little blobs did something bad!
p.s. I'm still a little disturbed by the movements of the bavarian cream, though. Kinda creepy. Luckily, I never did really care for that stuff...

what a SWEET post, this made me So happy on such an already happy day!
My kids and I really enjoyed this, thanks!
that's awesome
layla...i thought the same thing. glad i wasn't the only one.
opera imaginaire was a series of short animated videos, each set to a different aria. the series ran on bravo in the 90s. each short film was beautifully done and each very different... i've been searching for a tape or dvd for years! you can find a few on youtube, and i highly encourage looking them up! ;.)

That was awesome!
omg! I love it! And now I'm just a little bit scared of cutting into my mom's birthday cake.
That was amazing!
That was great! Very cute & clever.
Very cute!
that was fantastics!
one word: EPIC.
Thanks a bazillion Jen! It brings me back memories of watching it on Classic Arts Showcase several years ago - it's still good after all those years!
Clapclapclapclapclapclapclapclapclapclapclapclapclapclapclapclapclapclap!!! Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! Fantastico!!
That is the most adorable thing I have ever seen! Who did the claymation? I love them!
OMG! That was AMAZING! Just remember this excuse, next time your friend pops to the bathroom and returns to find her delicious dessert has "disappeared" from her plate (yum!). Just say:
"It got up and ran away!!!!"
Thanks!
wow that was way cool !!!!!
What fun!
All I have to say is whoa....... That was AMAZINGLY AWESOME also, think of how long it took. Did you know that the average stop animation movie maker can only make 3-7 seconds of footage every week. so since this video is about three minutes long that would have meant it took 25-60 WEEKS! I can't imagine it taking so long.
