No one stipulates that only children can watch “Guinea Pig Carriage”.
Compared to other Japanese works that are popular in Europe and the United States, the Reddit page of “Guinea Pig Car” is only a small community with 500 members.
Whether it’s their forum page or the Discord community, there are not many people and few posts, but the atmosphere is like the content of this wool felt stop-motion animation, and there is a harmless and cute atmosphere everywhere.
Here, the members express their love for the works and share their second creation works. If you want to say the biggest difference between them and domestic or Japanese fans, it may be that they will combine well-known European and American works to produce new “cars” with dream linkage, such as “Batman”, “Star Wars” or “Back to the Future” .

Even the most unique style of painting just imitates the nasty physiological structure diagram of “Jelly Bean Man”, and draws the slightly creepy skeleton structure of the guinea pig.

It was not until the appearance of such a cartoon picture that I broke my perfect filter for this small community – it turns out that among the fans of “Guinea Pig Car”, some people will use it to make it yellow.

Although the image was removed shortly after it appeared, it was easy to find its source by following the massive “guinea pig car centipede” scene.
It’s from a doujinshi manga called “Rotten Rotten Sheng るカー”. From the name that obviously spoofed the “roti roti” of “PUI PUI” in the original title, you can see the author’s understanding of the original.
“18 Forbidden, Fool to”
In fact, although this comic uses a lot of style, techniques and plots of the 18 forbidden themes, there are not too many pictures that are not suitable for children in the conventional sense. The previous “centipede” plot may have been regarded as one of the most direct scenes, but it still only makes people feel cute in the collision of subject matter and style of painting, and it will not be too disgusting.
Don’t even need to code
As a stop-motion animation that is completely sold on cuteness, the official of “Guinea Pig Car” actually knows how to use contrast to attract people.
In the content of the first season of the animation, there is an episode about the spread of the guinea pig zombie virus, but it still only arouses the audience’s “heart of a macho”; after the well-known Japanese horror reasoning writer Aya Tsuji Pedestrian was addicted to wool felt, this year also He was found by the official and launched the reprint of his short story collection “Inhumans” and the linkage promotion of the second season of “Guinea Pig Car”.
The combination of these horror and monster elements and the cars and cars, instead, has the effect of “contrasting cuteness”. It’s just that they are also very clear that contrast needs to tighten a boundary that cannot be crossed, otherwise the contrast will easily collapse in an instant and become too much disgust.
At the beginning of last year, no one thought that a little-known guinea pig car could stand out from the attack of popular animations such as “Curse Back to War” and “Attack on Titan”, and become another popular animation in Japan, and even The saying “children watch “Blade of Ghost Slayer” and adults watch “Guinea Carriage” was born.
When I first saw the signs of its explosion, there were many people rubbing against this new wave of popularity, wanting to “send welfare” according to the usual practice in the past, and the difference from the recent “Pokémon Welfare Ji” may be one sentence “” Want my guinea pig car?” password.
But I didn’t expect that these welfare maps with the name “Guinea Carriage” not only did not attract too many “macho men” who are still immersed in the wool felt world, but aroused the dissatisfaction of some fans. Some netizens even felt that the contrast between the painting styles was too strong, causing “spiritual damage” to it.
For example, the real “Cos” of “Guinea Pig Car”
In addition to the comic mentioned above, searching for “Guinea Pig Car” can also find other 18 banned doujinshi. The content is much more explicit than the mild content of the former. Some just use cars as gimmicks, or tell the old stories of those landlords and tenants; some cross species and body types, and there is an outrageous plot of “combining people and cars”.
But no matter how big they are and how curious their angles are, they still have a mediocre response in the end, but it’s not as good as the fan comics that don’t need to be coded. It seems that even if it is rubbing the heat, it needs to follow the taste of the fans of the original work to receive better results. Among these colorful second-generation works, it is a pity that there is still no work that really uses stop-motion animation as a form of expression.
“The guinea pig quake”
Although whether it is fluffy wool felt or soft clay, it seems to sound relatively young, and it has nothing to do with the 18th ban. But in fact, it is not uncommon for restricted-level stop-motion animations, and there are actually many people who use it to “make porn”.

If you want to trace the history of stop motion animation, you may have to start with the origin of film and even imaging technology. Because the frame-by-frame picture is frozen and combined into a coherent action, this is the principle that our human eyes see video. In the era of no special effects, the “big scenes” in some early films were actually stop-motion animations.
American filmmaker and sculptor Helena Smith Dayton is credited with being the first to feature a clay statue in a film.
“Statue of Running, Dancing and Fighting”
In this period when both film and stop-motion animation are still in their infancy, no one thinks that the latter should have any limitations on the subject compared to the former. The 1953 clay animation “Gumbasia”, the first work of Art Clokey, a pioneer in the promotion of American stop-motion animation, is also thought to have added some sexual and human innuendo.
Just pulling the time back to the modern era, many people have an inherent impression of stop-motion animation equal to “children’s films”. This is because in the great development of stop-motion animation after the 1950s, it has not been accepted by everyone like movies, but has become very popular in the field of children’s films. Over time, the entire industry itself has also experienced a tilt of resources, talents and audiences, which has contributed to the prejudice that “stop motion animation can only be younger”.
But even in such a big environment, there are still many works that insist on using freeze-frame to tell about adult themes.
Among them, “Disorder”, which was nominated for the Oscar, the Annie Award and the Golden Globe Award at the same time in 2015, and won the Golden Lion Award Jury Award, should be regarded as the most famous one.

In this feature-length stop-motion animation, there are hardly any symbols related to the sub-fortune, instead, elements such as adult sex shops appear from time to time, reminding the audience of the target audience of the film.
In the plot, everyone the male protagonist sees has only one appearance and the same voice. It wasn’t until he met a woman on a business trip that he met a different face and voice besides himself, even if it was just a night of fun. In addition to the large-scale action scenes, the film also deeply explores the inner world of adults in complex social relationships, from skin to bone, are engraved with a strong adult brand.
These creators are not limited to the form of stop-motion animation, but see it as a form of expression that can carry more diverse ideas in addition to children’s content. Of course, this idea is not only limited to the professional track, there are also adult-themed works born out of interest in the hands of “folk masters”.
For example, these two videos on YouTube. One is a “Barbie-style” short film made with movable toys, and the other is “Plastic Dough Fury” made of clay, both of which are adult-level stop-motion animations of excellent quality.
Of course, if you don’t talk about the academic and literary fields, and you just want to see something exciting, there are actually quite a few stop-motion animations that purely depict desire.

Compared with the few works just mentioned, some stop-motion animations on adult websites such as P station are much rougher and more explicit.
Perhaps because of the time-consuming and labor-intensive production characteristics of stop-motion animation, the painting style of the works here highlights how quickly one comes. The background can basically be ignored, except for the two protagonists, most of the supporting characters are crooked, and the mirror movement is basically absent like many selfie videos on the same site. Looking at these aspects alone, it is difficult to express the author’s pursuit of quality.
Please imagine the second half of the picture
But in some details, the author seems to be a different person. For example, the “weapon” of the protagonist in the fighting scene is not only pinched a lot, but also uses a troublesome material such as glue to express the texture of the liquid, and it is hard to say that he does not care.
The same is to engage in pornography, the creators on these small sites are much simpler and cruder. Generally, there is not much plot foreshadowing, or simply pursue the simplicity of the road. As long as the artistic conception is in place, the details may not be important.
The most surprising thing is that LEGO is also a popular category in these stop-motion works. In these films, we can see the LEGO minifigures grow new organs made of clay, turn the clouds and rain on the sofa, floor and bed covered with particles, and finally go to the great harmony of life together.
Even on the P station, there is a channel Legohub with 11,000 “Lego fans”.
In addition to posting some short videos that even save the clay organs, it will also teach fans some Lego building skills. In the half-hour video, there is no climax except for opening a new box of Lego and assembling it in soothing music. It makes people feel more and more that some people may be able to learn and relax when they visit the P station.
“Sex Machine”
Even if people’s sexual fetishes are free, it may be difficult for us to empathize with what these people who can secrete hormones from plasticine and building blocks are thinking.
But there is no doubt that toys, animations and other things that are labeled as young age are by no means a carrier that can only be used to express content of all ages. These contents may be delicate or rough, and they all hold firmly what the author wants to express. Whether it is primitive and rough for children, or subtle and sensitive, it can be recorded in niche forms such as stop-motion animation.
The yearning for cute things, the love for something, or the urge to rush out with hormones, these unmodified desires may be our strongest driving force – in their eyes, there is no “rule” to say . It’s like no one has ruled that only children can watch “Guinea Pig Carriage”.
