Object shows are a genre of animated online web series, typically published to video sharing sites like YouTube, and consist of anthropomorphic objects. Most object shows take place in a competition setting with a host, and feature the objects battling for a prize. Some other object shows are in a “non-competition” setting, which are more story-focused and have deeper and more in-depth plots.

History

[edit]

The first object show, Battle for Dream Island, started in 2010. It was created by two children, Cary and Michael Huang. It ran for 2 years and set up the standard format of object shows. It later received a second season, titled “Battle for Dream Island Again”, which went on hiatus after the 5th episode. A third one also released, titled “dnalsI maerD rof elttaB”, which went on hiatus after the first episode. Inanimate Insanity, a show by Adam Katz, had also been created.[1]
