With as much animation that does exist on the web, it’s a shame more good stuff isn’t available for children. Making Fiends, is one site working hard to correct that discrepancy.Making Fiends is a flash animation website featuring two seasons worth of webisodes for the program of the same name.
Making Fiends is the brainchild of UCLA-trained animator Amy Winfrey (apparently no relation to Oprah). Winfrey infuses Goth culture, the Addams Family and good ol’ romper room sensibility into the world of Vendetta, the little girl star of the series.
Vendetta is a child who creates fiends. She is friends with Chalotte, an innocent girl who refuses to see the creatures as anything other than friends. Imagine the series as an ongoing gothic morality play about understanding that all humans possess the best and the worst of qualities, and you may return again and again, be ye child or be ye adult. Free.
