[[http://cinnamonbunzuh.blogspot.com Cinnamon Bunzuh!]] is a comedic {{review blog}} of the ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'' series, published as instant messaging logs between the two authors, Ifi (the crazy sarcastic one), and Adam (the crazy analytic one).
The series is named after the way the character Ax pronounces "Cinnamon Bun" [[SenseFreak when he starts using a mouth for the first time]].
The site also hosts the fanfiction ''FanFic/SixDaysTheAnimorphsWereIdiots'', written by Ifi. ([[http://cinnamonbunzuh.blogspot.com/2011/11/ifis-fanfiction-chapter-one-part-one.html Link]])
