"As a child, when you found yourself faced with an array of half-working felt tip pens and you wanted to have an excuse to draw something crude with your friends; and, as an adult, when you're a few drinks down and you've realised there's only so many times you can play charades. But Adult Swim is re-energising the paper-folding fun, turning it into a means of connection and collaboration,"
"We joined the latest at Manchester Animation Festival (the UK's largest animation festival) which coincided with an Adult Swim screening of shorts from emerging talent from the UK and Europe - including a screening of Uncle Shortbread's Peter Hair, part of Adult Swim Smalls; the premiere of a spot from animator Harry Mead; and a special screening of Double or Nothing, presented by animation director and creative producer Tokay."
Adult Swim re-energizes the paper-folding game exquisite corpse as a live drawing challenge that fosters connection and collaboration among animators, aspiring animators and animation fans. The live drawing challenge launched in 2022 in Germany as part of Adult Swim tours to animation festivals and screenings and rapidly became a fan favourite fixture. Events have included sessions at Manchester Animation Festival with screenings and premieres of emerging UK and European talent, plus themed individual drawing challenges tied to series like Smiling Friends. Organizers frame the activity as a return to pen-and-paper creativity in response to AI concerns, celebrating the warmth of drawing with strangers.
