Yeah, I agree with Tobioas. To almost all the entries I've seen: where are the physics? Cartoony animation is not enough here. This is NOT cartoonish animation, this is NOT nonsense, it's physics, science (if we can call it that way...). Did anyone actually checked the link to wikipedia in the post where the challenge is announced? There are some entries that respected the theme, I'm not talking to them.
Tobias: the tenth rule there is really important 
.
Good idea, Tobias! 
The lack of cartoon physics here is insulting.
I'll have to enter now to show you guys how it's done. (because no one else seems to be doing so)
Well I was going to enter but my animation had no physics in it. Oh well next time maby
(if you wanted to watch what I was Thinking about entering it is HERE)
Well, the splat there kinda looks like something related to physics, and anyway you could have entered it by making a perfect silhuette of the minifig at the end instead of making that huge crash. You could fix that and enter it.
Here's a excerpt from the wikipedia article that might help you guys:
-Any body suspended in space will remain in space until made aware of its situation. Then the regular laws of gravity take over. (The character walks off the edge of a cliff, remains suspended in midair, and doesn't fall until he looks down.)
-Any body passing through solid matter will leave a perforation conforming to its perimeter (the "silhouette of passage").
Certain bodies can pass through solid walls painted to resemble tunnel entrances; others cannot. (Corollary: Portable holes work.)-All principles of gravity are negated by fear. (i.e., scaring someone causes them to jump impossibly high in the air.)
Any violent rearrangement of feline matter is impermanent. (In other words, cats heal fast and/or have an infinite number of lives.) Corollary: Cats can fit into unusually small spaces.-Everything falls faster than an anvil. (A falling anvil will always land directly upon the character's head, squashing him flat or driving him into the ground, regardless of the time gap between the body's and the anvil's respective drops.)
-A body will contort and stay contorted to any hole or container that is smaller than it. (Cat goes in mouse hole and comes out as a long semicircle or person is crammed into guitar case and remains in the shape of a guitar when they come out.)
-Any vehicle on a path of travel is at a state of indeterminacy until an object enters a location which is in the path of travel. (Wolf walks into road and gets run over by a bus.)
hopefully this'll give you guys some ideas of what cartoon physics actually are. (CARTOON GAGS DOESN'T NECESSARILY EQUAL CARTOON PHYSICS)
I feel like a Physics teacher... (heres a link to the full article for those interested.)

I'll be animating my entry on Wednesday and putting it up early Thursday.
Will I be in before the deadline?

Well, the dead line is on Thursday. But CrazyEd didn't tell us what time, so ask him.
EDIT: I don't think I will enter this one, I'm right now on the set filming my shorter entry to FOS, and I really want to finish that film. So I guess I'll try to enter some of the next ones. Good luck everyone!

The deadline is on Thursday at Midnight(Central European, West African Time Zone).
I read that and made my entry accordingly.
In fact you probably are the only entrant (that I remember) who made something related with it.
Well, I hope ZP and JK will make something good (I'm pretty sure they will). Good luck. Now that I have a set I may do something though. Don't expect anything, though (as always).
Just need the masking and Im done
Edit: mah entry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVAovQIlzdA-FBS
Any feedback?

It was okay. Quite a lot of lightflicker and camera bumps. I didn't think it had that Cartoon feel, I must say.
Yes, I know. I had five minutes to animate and I need a new camera with manual settings xD
-FBS
Sup dawgs.
Yet another abrupt end to a short leave.
Imma enter dis.
I will be cleaning my room tomorrow, so I'll animate my entry once my room is clean.
you have no idea how messy this room is
