Hey folks! Bit of a "hidden thesis" with this one. 😉 I recorded some new music on the weekend specifically for this video - you can check it out here: rrslugger.bandcamp.com/album/fabulous-fabuland Remember, Bandcamp has a limit on how many people can download an album for free - if you go to the site and it won't let you download it for free, you'll have to wait until next month. Sorry for the inconvenience there! Also, if you want to learn more about my creative process in recreating this song, please check out this video on my second channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppO3ZIpnhriCsNk

My guess is that your thesis here is that just because modern LEGO is more license-driven doesn’t mean the spirit of their original themes is gone. By treating LEGO Animal Crossing as if it was a Fabuland reboot instead of a LEGO/Nintendo collaboration, you’re inviting us to give certain licenses a second look to see if they could be retroactive additions to pre-existing LEGO themes. Am I close?

Fabuland was the first story driven character focused theme made by Lego. It follows the trope of cute animals doing human things you would see in children`s story books and animated shows at the time. Animal Crossing just continues that trope, but in this case with a Nintendo licensed theme.

For as much as Slugger trying to make us think that the Animal Crossing sets are just Fabuland 2… he’s absolutely right. This, like The LEGO Batman Movie sets, feels like LEGO making a licensed theme their own rather than just making a wave of sets that seek to recreate basic scenes from the source material. LEGO recognized the parallels between their own Fabuland and Nintendo’s Animal Crossing and decided to kill two birds with one stone- even slipping in tiny Fabuland homages, as you’ve noted! Might pick up the Isabelle’s House Visit and Kappn’s Island Boat Tour sets. Emphasis on might; Jedi Bob’s Starfighter and the BTAS Batmobile are calling my name!

I've rarely ever seen the original Fabuland theme covered in itself, even as it was discontinued eight years before I was born. The 8x8x2/3 rounded plates w/reduced knobs have been in use for four years first appearing in the Super Mario theme in July of 2020. This part was actually exclusive to that theme for the first three and a half years since then, before the Animal Crossing wave was launched, even though the only colors this part still appears in are "leaf green", "medium lilac" and lime green which is presently exclusive to a different set (77046) from this theme. This set also marks the debut of medium minifigure legs in dark orange, and "cool yellow". A shade which has historically been a fairly rare (but not theme-exclusive) color in itself.

I wonder if fabuland was one of the inspirations behind animal crossing’s visuals. The timing definitely adds up; fabuland was made in the 80s and a lot of 20-40 somethings developed animal crossing in the late 90s, so i imagine at least one person had familiarity with fabuland sets. Would be a nice way of coming full circle

Omg before even watching i wanna say how happy i am. I found a decent deal for the set from the thumbnail and did some research into fabuland and was looking for extractly this video 2 days ago. I got home after picking up the set and the perfect video just appeard to go along. Choo choo. Super intrested to hear thoughts and compare them to mine since i spend a lot in the last few days on the set and the theme. Edit: i had somewhat of a dicussuion with a person i live with about the colour of the door and how it ties into the aestetics of the rest of the house. The person just couldnt understand my excitment about the door. Having that visual representation of past and present definitly would have helped. i also thought about the neckarticulation but came to theconclusion that even tho the charm is undeniable i prefer the modern fabuland figures and its a sacrifice worth to be more in line with the rest of my collection. i wish the reveal wasnt included but i can understand that such an integer slug would include it just to be safe. reasons i got this set for my collection is bc i collect popculture, castle, things i deem significat in lego history and cool stuff i like. yes ninjas are just asian knights so all ninjas(including ninjago) are castle to me. this set ticks the popcultrue since the ip blew up during the pandemic and covertet many people into gamers but also the "historic" significance since its part of a recent trend of taking stuff appart, reconfiguring it and adding to it in contrast to the modells that get more and more complex and detailed. its a broken down version of the essence of play that makes lego such a special toy. yes lego allways had that but in the last decade the focus heavily shifted towards licensed models that shift perception more towards model kits and less to the endless possibilities. the popculture part of my collectors heart enjoys that but lego is much more. im happy that lego brings back rebuilding/alternate builds as a selling point more prominent as also seen with mario and dreamzzz aswell. creator 3in1 was never gone but i think its a good idea to encourage builders of any age to take appart sets and be more creative in all fields of lego. for most kids and moc builders its very natural to be very creative. by shifting the focus away from creativity you might be able to generate more profits but lose part of the core identity. thats why i think the fabuland reboot is a significant part in lego history. it overlaps with another trend of nostalgia bait driven products that stand out on their own bc they partialy inherit those core qualities of Lego but also are "state of the art" when it come to techniques within the confinements of companystandarts. a setting(the house), some characters and some context in form of furniture and nature is such a fundamantal of toys and play in the past century and even beyond. toys and play are an insane tool for development of humans and other creatures that can think. thats why i like the set even tho i feel like it somewhat lacks innovation. PS i really wanna highlight part 6214px2 ! i had such a hard time finding it online but i have this part in my collection. its the only real innovation i see in this set. i can remember that as a kid i had a dream of picking those apples and then thought about how to make it real. came up with 1x2 brick with pinhole as solution and to make the tree even better there was a hidden compartment too! i wanted it to be hinged tho. the hidden compartment was also inspired by LEGO Town: Telekom Race Cyclists And Service Crew (1198) bananas. i mean you could grow almost any fruit on that tree. i cant believe that my idea was implemented in a set even tho i think i never talked about it. the tree is by far the highlight of this set to me

I remember Nick on Plannet Ripple's video a while back also bringing up Fabuland and how Chima was a pseudo-successor in a way. Definitely Animal Crossing shares a lot more DNA with Fabuland.

After this Slugger went on to play his first Animal Crossing, fell in love with the series, becoming his favorite game of all time, something he and Danny Trejo have in common.

I haven't checked the dates, but I'm almost sure that animal crossing exists thanks to fabuland, let's think about it, it makes sense, big-headed animals and the possibility of putting together your house, going around, growing crops, etc. It cannot be a coincidence, the similarities HAVE to be on purpose, they knew and now we know 😶 XD

Honestly though you might have found some inner inspiration on the Lego designers part realizing they can do a bit of fabuland homage within this Animal Crossing set. Great musical piece for this video, it reminded me very much of Disney's Toontown online style of music, especially the slower themes.

Yes! I've thought for a long time they should bring Fabuland back. The animal characters are unique, and the cozy small town setting has grown very different from the modern City theme. Animal Crossing is basically the same thing, so its a perfect fit. A little disappointing they went with the licensed theme instead of their original property, but oh well. If Nintendo ever pulls the license, LEGO will be able to very easily pivot the molds and designs into a real Fabuland 2!

This frickin slug man. You're joking but when I was building the AC sets with their huge doors and windows, and the modularity and small animal characters, it gave me huge Fabuland vibes.

I've never been a huge fan of Animal Crossing (or any similar life sim really, too directionless for me) but I AM a big fan of the aesthetic and characters, this series is easily the most likely to grab my attention if I were looking for any kind of licensed set as an impulse buy (the piranha plant is a close second, but even it's a bit rich for my blood atm)

Shoutout to a certain obscure Japanese game studio for making Fabuland games in the 2000s to pave the way for this reboot

Maybe I'm a bit late to this video, but I love how you recreated the music from the Fabuland tv show, that media is pretty much unknown by people but I love theme music and your recreation too! Made me feel warm and fuzzy in my heart, thank you!!

I see you're a little confused so allow me to correct you. Animal Crossing is a movie franchise by Disney where anthropomorphic animals live in a human-like society. Just another Disney IP theme 🙄 (Jk I love the Animal Crossing games and love the connection you made to Fabuland! Great video 😄)
