Character Pop-Up's

Throughout *Mondo Media*, the way the Mondo Media Characters are introduced, as well as how the title sequences and closing credits are displayed, have evolved over the years, each all the more different from each other.

## Internet Season's

### Season #1

Internet Season 1's introductions involve every character coming out of a bush, going through an animation such as a gesture (a wave), then going back into the bush and disappearing. Normally, before they appear, text appears saying "This Week Featuring...", and when all of the characters have finished, another piece of text appears saying "Almost there...", followed by the episode. All this happens while the *Happy Tree Friends* theme song plays in the background.

The gestures the characters make while they are visible are as follow:

### Season 2 and early Season 3

In Internet Season 2, all the characters are featured in a book. The book shows more characters as it flips pages. All the characters are featured one by one on the pages. The background is usually the same color as the character.

The gestures the characters make while they are visible are as follow:

### Late Season 3 - Season 5

These starring intros begin with the episode *Wrath of Con*. Starting in *Something Fishy*, there is also a featuring character card, which reads "*Featuring a few friends:*" and has the characters on a playground. Starting in *Brake the Cycle*, the card instead says "*Also featuring:*".

Each character's starring pop-up features a rhyme or an alliteration that fits in with their personality traits, in addition to almost every word beginning with the first letter of their name, this being an exception for Lifty, Shifty, Lammy (somewhat), and Mr. Pickels whose sentences only rhyme.

### Featuring Pop Up's (late 3-5)

* **Cuddles** is on the slide, both his arms outstretched, while looking down.
* **Giggles** is on the slide, both her arms outstretched, while looking in the viewer's direction.
* **Toothy** stretches out both his arms with his eyes facing the audience. He is not featured on the slide. However in **Going Out With a Bang** he is looking at the slide.
* **Lumpy** just stands stupidly when he is not on the slide. His arms are down when he faces his right. His left hand is near his mouth when he faces his left. When he is on the slide, he lays upside down, with his body taking up almost the entire length of the slide.
* **Petunia** stretches her arms out when on the slide.
* **Handy** stands happily while looking happily at the viewer.
* **Nutty** is too jittery to go on the slide. However, in **Camp Pokeneyeout**, he is at the top of the slide, looking and waving at the viewers.
* **Sniffles** looks in the direction of the viewer, with both his arms outstretched. In *Random Acts of Silence*, he does the same thing but while on the slide. However, in **Camp Pokeneyeout**, he stands with his arms down while facing his right.
* **Pop** stands by the bottom of the slide. However, in **Going Out With a Bang**, he is seen at the top of the slide, behind Cub.
* **Cub** plays happily on the slide with both arms outstretched.
* **Flaky** looks in the direction of the viewer nervously, with her right index finger near her mouth.
* **The Mole** is feeling around with his cane while facing his right.
* **Russell** smiles at the viewer with his hook in the air.

## Internet Shorts

The Internet Shorts features alternative character pop-ups. The most likely cause of this is that this episode was under development before the second season, and these were the original designs for the pop-ups.

These pop-ups all have the same background, the same color, the characters are outside instead of inside the background, and their poses are different (Ex. Floky is happy instead of worried).

## Winter Break

In this special half-hour TV episode, everyone is seen on an ornament on a Christmas tree for their starring or featuring role to fit the Christmas theme.
