  • JibJab on the Jumbotron!

    Here’s a first for us… as Andy, our Director of Development, enjoyed a Dodger game this weekend, he was surprised to find himself treated to our Star Wars Starring You on one of the biggest screens you can find! Evan writes “It looks like a giant iphone being lowered on strings from a hole in…

  • 8-bit Birthday Bites!

    We recently put together a birthday card that drew upon our love for old school video games.  Figuring out exactly how to present it went through several phases.  In our first incarnation, Jeff pitched an awesome animatic where the gag was a little more twisted than the final product. The next step was taking our…

  • Singing Eggs: Live!

  • Star Wars Starring You!

    So we’re kind of super-insanely-excited to announce that we’ve teamed up with Lucasfilm to bring Star Wars – Starring You to the world, which boasts a Starring You recap of each of the original three Star Wars movies. Since we’ve been keeping this secret for, say, half a year, we’ve got a lot of fun…
