YouTube of the Week: Racing Boxes, Tables, and Chairs Edition
A stop-motion, live-action homage to the Mario Kart games. My favorite part is how they make the invincible star effect- you just gotta see it. Also a guest appearance by a 40k army!

I like the part when he goes OVER the counter rather then around, classic stop-motion! That lack of music for the last half of the race seemed odd to me.
I agree on both counts. I don’t know why the music cut out. Though it did make the invincibility music stand out more.
I concur…
That self-loading SNES made me miss the large stack of cartridges I used to have in the corner of my room…
God it must have been agonizing filming the star scenes with all the wardrobe changes.
Yea, wardrobe changes are always agonizing with stop motion…
I did a scene in stop motion where an orange had relations with a banana once…the wardrobe changes were absolutely dreadful…
