Plush Movies

History

Plush Movies are a genre of short movies made with plush toys, quite commonly Video Game characters. The inventor of plush movies was possibly Scott Bommarito, who's first movies were the "Chinese Ty-Chi Chicken Man" series, which was made around 2004. Thomas Wharton and Brian Bommarito contribute to many of Scott's movies, and were present and/or helped out during the creation of the "Chinese Ty-Chi Chicken Man" series, as well as others. If Scott did not invent the genre, it is most likely that he revolutionized it with his new improvisational style. The actual movies were not released to the internet until February 2007.

Two months after Scott released his first movie, in April, came momabigbug2 and MarioMario8989. momabigbug2 makes plush movies mostly based on competitions, while MarioMario8989 creates movies for his "Cute Mario Bros" series. As the name implies, every episode features the Super Mario Bros.

In June, BanjoBoy123 started creating movies for the genre. BanjoBoy123 is a fan of Scott's videos who decide to create some of his own. BanjoBoy123's name comes from the popular game of the Nintendo 64 era, Banjo-Kazooie. He has made some contributions to the Plush Movie genre. His #1 movies are most likely Mario and Sonic in Kill Pooh Bear and Mario and Pikachu in Identity Crisis. He states in a YouTube stream that his favorite plush movie of his is Mumbo Almighty. It is noticeable that in his plush movies as of September and October of 2007, that his co-actor has been replaced. This is because BanjoBoy123 has moved from his hometown which shall remain confidential. BanjoBoy123 has been working on scripts for new episodes such as Mumbo and Sonic in Rescuing a Bear and Bird in Need, Mario and Luigi in GIANTS, and Banjo, Kazooie, and Mumbo in Lady Island.

ballincow soon joined the genre in August. He is currently working on his Robot Mario series.

One month later, in September, froggycompany joined the genre. His movies are inspired by various authors, such as BanjoBoy123, and ballincow. His series is "Mario Plush Adventures."

Style

Most Plush Movies are made using improvisation. A story is created beforehand, and the story takes turns as the actors say whatever random funny lines they have in their heads. With this method, however, many stories are ruined or get too out of hand.

However, there are anti-plush movies. Many movies in which people do not happen to be making the characters talk, but instead mutilating or insulting them.
