Leave the Cutout (PvZ fan animation)

This was an idea I had a long while back but forgot about until recent.

Solar Flare's design by @Peargor and audio is from Hotel Transylvania.

(I used Blender for the animation, Krita for the backgrounds and After effects for the composition, took me about a week)

Context for the people lost:

There is a gamemode in Plants Vs Zombies 1 call "I, Zombie" where the player must help the zombies get through the plants cardboards cutouts of each of the 5 rows to have the zombies collect all the 5 brains (1 at the end of each row)

Once the zombies collect all the 5 brains the player wins regardless if there are any plants cardboards cutouts left or not

And if zombies eat the Sunflower cutout the player gets Sun which the player can use to put zombies with each type of zombies costs different amount of Sun

[jooshpoosh]

this is actually really creative i never thought id find someone using that scene for something before

[CurvinProductions]

I mean it's a pretty cool cutout, I could see his reasoning to take it with him even with what little brains he may have in him yet

[ZhoraPredator]

He was try to use it as a cool shield.

Sigh. But cardboard not so protective. Zomboss knew that.

Fnaf fans when the Fnaf 2 Movie releases (they stealin’ the Toy Chica Cut-Out from the Cinema)

[asimpleguy]

Next thing you know he's bringing real one home

[Umbra_Ursus]

The funny thing is that Zomboss would probably write it off, let him have it. He already lets his army wear whatever madness they want, after all.

I like the idea that I. Zombie is like a training session for the zombies

[Prommajak-zp]

Even zombie still have neuron






When did this blow up

[espurrthestupididiot]

Deep down he's still just like us even as a zombie.

[MattisticStatistic]

Cardboard Cutout Zombie was jealous of Screen Door Zombie's shield.
He snagged a cutout of some comic book superhero once the other zombies weren't looking.
Screen Door Zombie's gonna be so jealous of his fume-proof shield.

[Red_Biker_Dude]

Yeah, leave the cut out

Get a body pillow instead

[TheMemeStealer]

this brings a hole new meaning to "the zombies are coming"

[Oncce]

In Hotel Transylvania brazilian dub they make a double sense joke "Hey, are you go play with 'dolls'?"

[StranglyNight]

its funny when he threw it to the ground, like a child not getting a toy he wants at the store

[eeeeee]

Ngl good animation, it shouldn’t be flopped

[TnyTheArtist]

(I haven't played the PvZ games in a good while so I'm not sure if such a concept has been made already)

But this gave me an idea for a zombie that holds a random plant cutout infront of itself as it moves. The cutout stops plants from targeting the zombie. Projectiles will go past the cutout-holding zombie if the plants are targeting another zombie behind said cutout -holding zombie.

It will only lower the cutout to eat plants. When it the cutout is lowered, it can be targeted by plants like normal.

AoE plants like the Potato-mine or Cherry-bomb can still damage the cutout zombie, regardless if the cutout is held up.

Dang This Sound Clip is just Perfect for it 🍿

[Fictionalina]

Dude this deserves more likes and views this is so underrated

[NaveeSeal]

this would totally happen in the comics, like i could see Nigel, Frogpants, or Tugboat stealing a cutout because they like how it looks
