Editing Animutation (section)

==History==
Animutation was popularized by [[Neil Cicierega]]. Cicierega claims to have been inspired by several sources, including bizarre Japanese commercials and Martin Holmström's "[[Hatten är din]]" [[Soramimi]]-style video made for the "Habbeetik" song by [[Azar Habib]].<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TB7fqT1uAII | title=Neil Cicierega, Internet Person - XOXO Festival (2016) | date=17 November 2016 | publisher=XOXO Festival| access-date=2018-11-11 }}</ref> The term '''animutation''' is a [[portmanteau]] of ''animation'' and ''mutation'' and was popularized in 2001 through Cicierega's flash animations such as ''Japanese Pokerap'' and ''Hyakugojyuuichi!!'', which feature the credits music from older episodes of [[Pokémon]].  The popularity of ''Hyakugojyuuichi!!'' quickly made it an Internet phenomenon.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.salon.com/2001/04/26/animation_4/ | title=All hail Neil Cicierega | work=Salon.com| date=26 April 2001 | access-date=2015-08-09 }}</ref> Since that time, others have adopted a similar style and communities of similarly minded animators have sprung up around the web.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://austinchronicle.com/issues/dispatch/2002-01-25/screens_feature2.html|title=Mutant Genius |publisher=The Austin Chronicle|access-date=2006-08-19| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20060116143941/http://www.austinchronicle.com/issues/dispatch/2002-01-25/screens_feature2.html| archive-date=January 16, 2006| url-status= live}}</ref> These versions made by fans were christened "fanimutations".
