Magical Trevor
The first cartoon begins with a little man wearing a white robe that says "TREV" and a pointed white hat with a star hanging from the tip. His robe seems overly loose as it hangs from his extremities. He has an orange beard styled in such a way that several sections stick out and curl inward. This is apparently Magical Trevor (he has some genuine magical ability, most obviously shown in the first cartoon, when he shoots magical energy from his hands). He stands on a wooden stage next to a cow, before an audience of other cows apathetically chewing grass. There is a banner that says "Magical Trevor" above the stage. Behind the stage is blue sky and mountains.
Music plays throughout and is the main reason for the cartoon's humor and popularity. The music is entirely keyboard and drum machines. Two or three male voices sing and narrate the story. It is reminiscent of They Might Be Giants.
Magical Trevor has the ability to make cows disappear. Then, utilizing a magic leather whip, he can make them reappear. After he does this trick a cow (strangely, referred to as male in the lyrics) holds a press conference about how Magical Trevor sent him to a parallel dimension that was nothing but a warehouse filled with rows and rows of canned beans. The cartoon continues to loop until one goes to another Web page or closes the Web browser window.
As of September 2005, Magical Trevor has been viewed approximately 4.8 million (and counting) times on the official website, and possibly many more on other sites.
Magical Trevor 2
Magical Trevor 2 begins with Trevor traveling through space in a small space ship called "Trev I" to "Pigeon Planet". He arrives at the planet and appears on a stage in a puff of smoke. Using a piece of rope, he draws a large pigeon (who is inside a box with only its head, feet, and tail exposed) which is on to the stage next to him. He then produces a stick from behind him and saws the pigeon in half with it. The pigeon then defecates on the stage, displeasing Trevor. Behind Trevor a curtain is drawn that they are on Aisle 2 of a supermarket. Aisle 2 has nothing but Ragú tomato sauce on its shelves.
Like its prequel, Magical Trevor 2 has music playing throughout it, and at this point the cartoon returns to the point where Trevor appeared on the stage. The cartoon continues to loop until the viewer goes to another Web page or closes the Web browser window.
The music is very much like its prequel with drums and keyboards playing throughout it. The background music is sligtly reminiscent of Crazy Frog as of the voices are the same as its prequel.
As of September 2005, Magical Trevor 2 has been viewed 2.08 million times on the official website, and possibly many more on other sites.
Magical Trevor 3
Magical Trevor 3 starts with Trevor arriving with "TREV 1" on a unknown planet that looks as though it is made out of cheese. His latest trick involves putting a "magical cloak" over a giant chinchilla, pouring gasoline over the cloak, and setting it on fire with a lit match he pulls out from his ear. While the cloak is burning, Trevor toasts a marshmallow before he extinguishes the fire with a deluge of rain to reveal that the chinchilla is safe and sound, and reduced to the size of a raisin. However, Magical Trevor's audience of chinchillas have been sleeping the whole time, so Trevor writes in his journal to remind himself that chinchillas "sure are" nocturnal. After that, he discovers a department store called "World of Leather", in which he models a few of the store's leather coats.
The music is quite different from the second. Unlike Crazy Frog the last film is reminiscent of the first.
Younger viewers should be cautioned before watching these movies.

Kenya
The movie Kenya features a song comparing Kenya favorably to Norway as a tourist destination, pointing out various attractions that are available "only in Kenya". It starts with a lion with no visible mouth oddly dancing by swinging his arms and changing the feet he is standing on in front of a multi-colored ground. The words "Only Available in Kenya" flash briefly above the lion. The scene pans to the left to reveal a dancing tiger in the same foreground, who unlike the preceding lion, has whiskers and a mouth but lacks the lion's mane (interestingly, tigers are native to Asia). The tiger is dancing in the same way as the lion and shares a common orange color with him.
After a few moments, the scene zooms out, showing both lion and tiger at the same time. "Amazing Offer!!" declares a flashing text above them. "Lions and Tigers available for viewing now!" The text is in all capital letters.
The scene quickly switches to a small, red map of Norway stating to the side that Norway's population is crab, that it has no tigers or lions, and that the main export is tree. It declares that "TREE<LIONS=KENYA WINS" below that. It also declares that Norway should be called Snoreway. A new map replaces it shortly afterward, showing the African continent with certain countries colored in and a protruding Kenya. The 3D Kenya moves up and down with the beat and a red dotted line extending from it shows, according to text at the side, "the line to ensure the best coverage if Kenya were to physically urinate on Norway." It then shows the tiger dancing on a giraffe and the lion, pointed horizontally, sliding down the giraffe's leg by its mouth. It then shows the lion and tiger dancing in place, both with a knife and fork, dancing over an apparently dead zebra while the words "Hurry! Only available while stocks last!" flash onto the top. It then shows a multicolored map of Kenya with a few facts about the country beside it and a tiger and two lions dancing on the map. The next scene shows three people leaning out of a bus labeled "Holy crap. Lions! Tours." The toon ends with the words "Kenya Believe it! free snorkel with every visit" on a red background. Like many other of Picking's movies, it is a continuous loop.
A Christmas themed version, called Lapland, was made with Santa and a snowflake in place of the Lion and the Tiger, and set in Lapland. As one cannot make a humourous pun out of the word Lapland as one can with Kenya, the singer notes that there's "not much to do there" in the place of "Kenya Believe it".
As of September 9, 2005, Kenya has been viewed 6.6 million times on the Weebls Stuff website, more than any other Weebls toon.

Patrick Moore (Plays the Xylophone)
A paean to British astronomer and national treasure, Sir Patrick Moore. The animation shows him flying through space to play on his xylophone for some dancing Martians. Rob Manuel had the idea behind this cartoon.

Breadfish
The movie Breadfish features a single underwater scene of fish embedded in loaves of bread drifting past the viewer, and is representative of the many minor cartoons on the site. It too has looping music, but the loop is much shorter than that for the most famous cartoons. It is also reminiscent of the After Dark "flying toaster" screensavers.
As of September 2005, Breadfish has been viewed 1.3 million times on the official website, and possibly many more on other sites.

Scampi
The movie Scampi features a marching man in military garb naming random items such as carrots, handbags and cheese, which are said to often be disguised. An image of each (in its appropriate disguise) is given as it is named; the focal item is the city of Kuala Lumpur, whose image is a map of Malaysia on which the city has been re-labelled "France"(Possibly a Simpsons reference, when Kent Brockman is struggling with the pronunciation of Kuala Lumpur, and finally says "France"). As with other cartoons on the site, the action is set to looping music.
As of September 2005, Scampi has been viewed 4.08 million times on the official website, and possibly many more on other sites.

Strawberry Pancake
Strawberry Pancake was posted on 4th May 2005, and had, at time of writing, been viewed 143,561 times. It features a baby-like person with stick-thin limbs and hollow eyes riding a pink bicycle through a city, apparently in search of a strawberry pancake. In one brief section the person is shown shooting another man who is apparently withholding said pancakes. The drawing style is slightly reminiscent of a child's painting, particularly the manner in which the bicycle is drawn. Each time the animation loops the person rides past a sign that reads "Welcome To Town" and gives a population that starts at 420 and reduces by one each time. The animation takes about 47 seconds, so the town will be completely depopulated after letting the animation run for approximately five and a half hours. After this instead of shooting a person holding a stack of pancakes the 'pancake seeker' shoots zombies.
