Larva TV Series
This is a computer-animated comedy television series made by Tuba Entertainment in South Korea. I love it because it depicts two larvae: Yellow and Red who are the main characters's daily life in a incredibly humorous way. To me, the most successful elements of this animation are the character designs and storytelling. They characterised the Yellow, Red and other insects very well, not only featured on the aspect of the 3D computer techniques, but also presented the various of personalities and interesting behaviours.
For example
Yellow (the images above)- is a dimwitted and happy-go-lucky yellow coloured larva with an antenna. He is my favourite character because he owns a good heart, he always adopts the abandoned or lost animals in the TV. However, He is always abused by Red, but that never endangers their friendship. Although usually he obeys Red, he loses his mind in front of food.
Red- is a mostly hot-tempered and greedy red coloured larva. He is always mean to the Yellow and his specialty is shouting and kicking like Bruce Lee. He is always showing off and abusing Yellow, but he often ends up hurting himself instead.
Although Larva is a brilliant comedy computer-animation, the major drawback of this approach is unsuitable contents to children. There are some pervasive gross-out humor (such as farts, burps, urine and bird poo are frequent fliers) and physical exchanges between the grubs, which are pretty humorous to watch. On the other hand, Larvae also run the risk of glimpsing things parents might not want to see in magnification, from a bubble inflated by farts to mysterious Yellow liquids that stream down the grate from passing dogs. What's more, the fact that characters communicate in grunts and squeaks rather than in words makes their physical behaviour even more prominent.
