I do think it's funny that video games and video game consoles have
not
been shown to be animate, despite the fact that my video games were one of the few things I actually DID write my name on as a child! I can't think of a single time we've seen a video game console, game, controller, or peripheral be animated in any of the movies, shorts, or tv specials, and I've seen all of them.
...Except, there is ONE major exception that I think is worth mentioning: Speak & Spell. It's not quite a video game but it's definitely in the same family of thing; it's a computer, it has cartridges. And it
is
sentient. I think this is a pretty good precedent for Lilypad.
