Toxie’s Dead (by Enkhtulga)
Here’s a cartoon we made for NPR’s show, Planet Money. It’s about Toxie, a personified toxic asset that helped burst the housing bubble. Enjoy!
This is featured as a supplement to a recent episode of This American Life. And let me tell ya, NO ONE explains finances better than the kids at Planet Money.
Directed and animated by Stephen Neary. Assistant animation and backgrounds by Connie Li Chan. Sound design by Robin Arnott.

When I bumped into Stephen Neary a couple nights ago, he told me about his new animated piece “Toxie” which debuted on NPR.org this morning and can be seen here. Produced for the show “Planet Money,” Toxie reenvisions a toxic asset as a cute but destructive pet creature. Stephen directed and animated, and Connie Li Chan provided assistant animation and backgrounds. The piece communicates a difficult concept quite effectively, and there’s some really nice character animation to boot—an impressive accomplishment especially considering their turnaround time was just three weeks.
