Looks like Neo is taking a page from Disney and releasing a streaming service dedicated to the site More infoLove the references to the various shows, like Doctor Roo (Doctor Who), Cobrall Kai ( Cobra Kai), and the Kreludorian ( The Manndalorian) I also find it amusing that one of the movies is the Defenders of Neopia: End of Flash (The Avengers: Endgame), considering that our prank focuses on Flash (well, the disappearance of Chet Flash as a tribute) |

I'm so excited for this, it's the only streaming service I ever want to join! Of course Neo would be producing their own streaming at the moment, it's only fitting with the modernisation of the site. Can't wait for the big Spookynatural finale, I hear it'll be shippy =o Judge Hog is still active? That guy never stops, when is he gonna retire? I guess they have to include him but I want more on the younger Defenders now. Oh my goodness is Lady Frostbite finally teaming up with the Defenders? She's actually standing with them on the poster, this has got to mean something, right?? unless it'll just be a mid-credits thing. Healing Springs is super intriguing and so retro, I hear it's even happening on Faerieland as it was back in the sky?? Nostalgia~ So topical now that we are so saturated with new streaming things, so beautifully spoofed from the fonts to the formatting on the page to the mass-of-characters poster to the wall-of-logos at the end of the trailer. X0X0, Gossip Grarrl. |

omg I'm super impressed by this! They put so much creative energy and attention to detail. I love all the art and the trailers they made! I'm very amused, and I want to watch all these shows (even though I don't even watch their irl counterparts)
Standing ovation to TNT from me this time! \o/

I agree! This is a great one. And I think my favorite part was the "fine print."
(Please note that all Neovision+ subscription plans include perpetually increasing rates that will incrementally but inevitably bankrupt you)
That's truth in advertising right there, folks!
P.S. I want the Neopets version of Baby Yoda. Because that. is. awesome.

Got a bit of a chuckle out of the "Spookynatural" description, talking about it coming back for its forty-first season and having a convoluted plot. My knowledge of its real-world inspiration is minimal, but I still know what salt tastes like.

This year's prank was a bit more elaborate prank from 2018, when NeopetsTV was announced alongside NeopiaLand. Still, I think the concept was neat, even though Neo is nowhere near the size of Disney in terms of staff and budget.

I absolutely adored this prank--honestly one of the best they've ever done. And the writing had me falling out of my seat from laughter. Noooow, if they could just sell those movie posters, that would be cool.  |
