Big Star

Big Star Enterprise (also known as Big Star Plus, or simply BSP) is a Seoul-based South-Korean animation studio.

Since its establishment in 1986 by animators Tae-Soo Kim and Larry Smith, Big Star has made a name for itself for working not only in the traditional animation industry, but also specializing in Flash animation, as well as owning a computer animation and special effects studio called AZworks.

## Tropes associated with Big Star:

* Animation Bump: *Ren & Stimpy: APC*, *Dante's Inferno*, and *El Superbeasto* are full of this, the latter mixed in with...
* Deranged Animation: In *Baby Huey*, *El Superbeasto* and *Ren & Stimpy: Adult Party Cartoon*.
* Fanservice: *El Superbeasto*. Also the "Naked Beach Frenzy" episode of *Adult Party Cartoon*.
* Name's the Same: See above.
* Roger Rabbit Effect: *Cool World*
* Off-Model: *Dan Vs.* has a tendency to veer into this.
