Looking for old Flash-based "Made Out of Meat"

January 31, 2009 5:34 AM

Way back in the history of the web, when Flash was brand-new, someone did a great version of Terry Bisson's "They're Made Out of Meat" in animated Flash. It was incredibly funny. I've searched for years, but haven't been able to find this version. Anybody know if it's still out there?

Was it this one?

Thanks, but no. The one I'm looking for was cartoon-like. Oh well....

Apparently there was an animation associated with the Sci-Fi-Channel's Seeing Ear Theater audio production. [source] The web archive only has the pre-loader and the actual file is long gone.

Alas, not the Flash one you're looking for, I think, but I have found four distinct versions of this on YouTube (playlist): One is the glitzy one with Tom Noonan, one is very low budget but uses more of Bisson's original text (live action in a grim little office). The other two are subtitled and semi-animated, one French, the other Russian.
