Life with Loopy - Hi-Fi Frankenstein - Toonstalgia

Life with Loopy- Hi-Fi Frankenstein

KaBlam! S01E01 Your Real Best Friend

Premiered October 11, 1996

Quickly

Loopy builds a new friend.

Thoughts

Loopy lives in a candy colored world of chaos. She can do anything. She decides to create a robot and creates intelligence. This isn't the pilot. The pilot wouldn't air till episode 7 of KaBlam! They have the characters figured out. Loopy can do anything and Larry can tell the story.

The heads are flat cut-outs. Minor gestures and complete facial expressions are possible but they can only show full-view and profile but no 3/4 view. 

Way Too Much Detail

Life with Loopy's framing device is Larry telling a story about Loopy.

Larry is rocking out to his favorite band, Bugsteak when Loopy asks if he wants to join her in playing Cannibal Cheerleaders. She's insulted when he sings the song at her. It's ambiguous whether he intends to call her a "goober" but he kind of does. Loopy is dejected and lonely. Loopy's mom suggest she make a new friend. She resolves to do that.

Loopy constructs a new friend out of a stereo system and other materials found around the house. She enjoys playing with her new friend. Larry is suspicious. Frank reveals himself to be extremely ambitious. He admits to Larry he plans to take over the world and enslave humanity.

Loopy and Larry find Frank in the basement rallying the support of the household appliances. They team up to stop him. They render him harmless by using him as a stereo with Larry's Bugsteak tape.
