Animal Crossing Chronicles: Scenes in genre

By Preeti Chhibber & Heather Mason
The Matrix Animal Crossing

Animal Crossing has become a cultural touchstone in these times of trouble, a soothing meditative game providing many of its players with a sense of normalcy and escape. It also provides a way for us to engage in our favorite nerd activities, self-isolation style. You can cosplay, you can create favorite fandom swag in-game, and, for the purposes of this post, you can recreate favorite scenes in genre using your characters and some light-to-heavy amateur photoshopping.

We present to you, Animal Crossing: Scenes in Genre.

I have, uh, not actually seen this movie. But I assume this is what it looks like? Right? Scared Hippeaux meets axe-/chainsaw-wielding hockey-masked murderer? - Preeti

Star Trek

When will I be able to beam myself to another island? The DAL system is so antiquated. I need a ticket? Forget that! - Heather

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Sorting Hat: Hmm, difficult. VERY difficult. Plenty of courage, I see. Not a bad mind, either. There's talent, oh yes. And a thirst to prove yourself. But where to put you?

Harry: Not Slytherin. Not Slytherin. - Preeti

Ready or Not

You know what part this is, where that ringwraith f***** scares the crap out of all of us and riding up on those poor lil hobbitses. - Preeti

Gravity

Can you imagine leaving space and just being happy to be alive and you land on an Animal Crossing island? Me neither. - Heather

The Ring

The Ring Animal Crossing

OK, I cannot discuss this scene because it still haunts me and I'm a little worried that I'm going to find a dead body in one of my Animal Crossing closets now. - Preeti

Jurassic Park

Jurassic Park Animal Crossing

It's an island. There are dinosaurs. WHAT COULD GO WRONG?! - Heather

Doctor Who

Why did I pick such scary things to reenact?? I don't even like being scared!! Anyway, chief among the top five scariest Doctor Who monsters: the creepy historical automatons in "The Girl in the Fireplace." - Preeti

Peter Pan

2003 Peter Pan Animal Crossing

Look! It's 2003's Peter Pan! Much more on-brand for me. - Preeti
