Little Dude is my greatest animation series, The Battle Of War 1 and 2 has more episodes but was simply a map with lines, Little Dude has characters, settings, plots, dialogue, and worldbuilding.
Currently at 3 full episodes and numerous shorts, with a fourth episode in the works.
Little Dude started as a simple unnamed doodle character whose name was chosen after I just kinda called him that and the posts online asking for names returned less than ideal results.
His first animation was made for FlipaClip's original character contest, featuring basic animation and no plot. It has Little Dude given "The Power to Embrace the Fact That This is an Animation" allowing him to defy any logic.
Episode two, Little Dude V.S. Little Sir has plot, and introduces the first ever second character, Little Sir, originally Evil Little Dude.
Little Dude is minding his own business and opens his phone to watch short form videos, (the video Silly Potato is a reference to one of my actual animations), when he gets an ominous notification reading "I will kill you. Little Dude." Little Dude thinks nothing of it. Little Sir walks in and the two fight intensely, and the climax has the two do an anime punch that causes an explosion visible from space (featuring the introduction of Axolotlia as the setting) that leaves their town of Littleton in ruins, the two become friends.
Epsiode three, Little Dude & Little Sir, is by far the longest and most in depth animation, at a whopping 4 minutes, originally intended to have audio as well, it has the most in depth everything, it is the first animation to have zero 2D side shots.
Little Dude and Little Sir originally plan to rebuild Little ton and make their way to the crater, but a surprise thunderstorm forces them to find shelter in the surrounding Axolotlian forest. Meanwhile in the nearby town of Flontville, a helicopter is sent up to examine why Littleton was blown up. Little Dude and Little Sir find shelter in a small cave. When the helicopter arrives everything is completely flooded, to an insane degree, Little Dude and Little Sir are on the top of a tree with massive waves below, they are saved by the helicopter where it is revealed the authorities know they are the two who destroyed Littleton, they are taken to an interrogation room in Flontville, and are released, they then realize they never rebuilt Littleton.
Little Dude shorts are small filler animations that are canon and are placed chronologically in the playlist, though they do not affect the major plot at all, and can be skipped. The only one to feature a major plotpoint is "Little Dude Loses the Power To Embrace the Fact this is an Animation", where Little Dude Loses the Power To Embrace the Fact this is an Animation. The shorts are the first Little Dude animations to feature sound, and are all made after Little Dude & Little Sir.
