Go To

It's Oppo is a 2010 animated short film created by Cal Arts student Tyler Chen. It is a Genre Deconstruction of preschool shows and unscrupulous media companies who corrupt children's educational media for their own ends. The short starts with Nick Jr.'s face introducing us to the adorable and carefree Oppo, who is just so excited to have another fun adventure. And then the fun ends. You can watch it on Vimeo here or YouTube.


This animation contains examples of:

  • Crapsaccharine World: Oppo's world seems bright and colorful, but it's horrible under the surface.
  • Disguised Horror Story: The short starts cute and goofy, but once Oppo unzips his suit, EVERYTHING goes to hell!
  • Fan Disservice: Oppo's naked body is disgustingly detailed. Even his penis is shown completely uncensored.
  • Parody Product Placement: Partway through the short, Oppo is joined by Chester Cheetah to share Cheetos with him.
  • Subverted Kids' Show: The short first appears no different from any other cartoon aimed at young children. Things get weird when Chester Cheetah takes off his suit to reveal a live-action human in his underwear. Then Oppo takes his own suit off and has his nudity uncensored, schlong and all, while the narrator brutally berates him for not stepping in line.
