You start showing these t live audiences and suddenly long absent, local battlers like Petey and Andrew immediately return. No connection there, none at all. :p
A lot of great entries, but Petey takes this one. Even if he did nearly double the fifteen second "limit."

i edited it for the compilation (= there was just a miscommunication... thanks for voting!
This was a great battle.
I really liked submissions 1, 3, 4, 5 and 11, but if I have to choose one I'd probably have to go with 3: it made me laugh hard.
I've seen many great RubberOnion battles through the last months, but this one is my favorite so far, many remarkable entries from very well-known artists!
I liked the entries from Butzbo, Andrew Kaiko and David Budgen, but I have to vote for #11 from Noumenus - pulling a beholder out of the hat fits the theme, it's short, funny, and perfectly animated imo.

Thanks so much for saying so and voting! I agree this month people really brought their A game!!
I think this was the best battle yet. So many good entries.
That said, I'll have to go with #4. Greatest magical fail I've seen.
This is pretty good. Ms.Frizzle looked a little cracked out and the fitness coachman short was pretty good. Generally all the style in this was interesting to watch.
