# Flying Blowfish Videos Arthur Philippe Brings on Laughter in his 'Fugu' Video By Shelby Lee Walsh | Published 2012-08-31 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fugu References: [vimeo](http://vimeo.com/42969572) Arthur Philippe is a [animator](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixfun) from Arles, France who has created a cute and comical short on Vimeo entitled 'Fugu.' The [short stars a blowfish](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veefriends-cartoons) fighting for his life and an [Asian chef](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funamori-platter-set) just trying to put a meal on the table. The blowfish inflates himself and tries to return back to the sea, but alas, his plans are thwarted in the end. What's great about Fugu other than its comedic factor is that you can even see character renderings of the [chef](http://vimeo.com/36224981) as well as the [fish](http://vimeo.com/36541474)in the video on Arthur Philippe's Vimeo channel. This gives viewers insight into all of the tough graphic design work that went on behind the scenes as well as the creative work that went into developing these two comical characters. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Comedic Animation:** Opportunity to create humorous and entertaining animated content for various platforms. - **Character Design:** Opportunity to develop unique and visually appealing characters for animation, gaming, and advertising industries. - **Behind-the-scenes Insights:** Opportunity to provide viewers with a glimpse into the creative and design process in order to engage and educate audiences. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Animation:** Opportunity for animators to create engaging and fresh content for movies, TV shows, and online platforms. - **Graphic Design:** Opportunity for graphic designers to showcase their skills in character design and visual storytelling. - **Advertising:** Opportunity for advertisers to incorporate animation and humor into their campaigns to capture audience attention and convey messages effectively. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Upscale Seafood Instant Noodles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nissin-raoh-fugudashijio.md) - [Inflatable Hydrofoil Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lift-blowfish.md) - [Tuna-Focused Film Festivals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tuna-cans-film-festival.md) - [Live-Streaming Fish Doorbells](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/visdeurbel.md) - [Graphic Fashion Animation Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superflat-animation.md) - [Colorfully Inflatable Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blowup-art-the-hague.md) - [Inflated-Illusion Ceramic Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blow-up.md) - [Robotic Cat-Like Mug Companions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nekojita.md) - [Wall-Mounted Animatronic Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trumpy-trout.md)
