Well done to everyone who entered.

In this Topic winning Flipnote by duster the creation of a Thanksgiving song seeks to bring festive hype to the Harvest Festival.

Inspired by Instagram audio, the musical performance includes grand piano accompaniment, turkey interrupted reminiscences, and a colleague's reactions that are an absolute scream!

A time traveling mission intercepts the very first Thanksgiving to remove a certain item from the menu in this turkey liberating Topic winner by dermo......

Go for it Spac!

“Gobbel Gobble”

We loved the expressive voice acting and lip-synch animation in this Thanksgiving dinner-disaster dished up by ukhtyyygh.

Wow, a whole turkey in one bite!

Now that’s impressive!

This Weeks Topic - "Beards"

There’s many different styles of beard, including full beards, goatees, mutton chops, soul patches, and vandykes to name but a few.

Your Flipnotes could feature any kind of beard, in any way you like.

You could try animating classic bearded characters like wizards, pirates, scientists, or even Saint Nick himself!

And why not grow your beards to extraordinary lengths. Or tailor them for specific, and outlandish purposes!

Here’s a video link of the most unusual beard use we’ve ever seen:

However you decide to fill out your beard, start trimming a Topic entry today!

We really love the way you're all so creative with these topics and look forward to seeing the Flipnotes you create for them.

Make sure to post your entries to the Weekly Topic channel Weekly Topic - Beards and the deadline for your entries is December the 8th (12pm EST / 4pm GMT).

We would also encourage you to add a description to your Flipnotes. This is your opportunity to explain any points of interest and specific details that we could feature in the topic winner reviews.

And don't forget, if you want a cool thumbnail picture on your Flipnote, whichever frame you save the Flipnote on, that will become the thumbnail. So choose your favorite frame for this, or add in a cool title page at the end, and save on that.

Keep on Flipnoting and the best of luck with your entries.
