The Dancing Baby was a 3d animation from the days of Web 1.0.
Bio[edit | edit source]
In the days of yore, when the internet made its first steps from text-only to multi-media, actually being able to force images through your dial-up modem was some really hot shit. The next-hotter shit started when these images actually started to become animated, and were subsequently plastered on anything ranging from private homepages, to forums, to commercial company emails.
This led to a huge market for clip art animations; one of which was the famed Dancing Baby. The Baby in itself actually was a blend of the actual baby model and the animated skeleton of a dancing adult. The 'skeleton' part is not metaphorical. It went on to become one of the trademark symbols of that era, alongside other animations such as the ubiquitous smoking skull .gif.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
The Dancing Baby fought in 8chanmania LV. It lost its first battle against a Worm, and promptly did what babies usually do - it shitting its diapers and starting to cry.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- The original animation got canned by the animation studio due to being 'too realistic' (i.e. in mild uncanny valley territory). It only resurfaced after a LucasArts employee posted in on a CompuServe forum.
