Popular tv shows go digital

I was watching old Community episodes from Hulu and came across this really funny episode. It is called Digital Estate Planning.



While watching this, it was funny to show how they were able to take a popular tv show and turn it digital. 
Wikipedia's summary: Pierce is summoned to Hawthorne Enterprises to discuss his inheritance with his deceased father's former right-hand man, Gilbert Lawson (Giancarlo Esposito). The study group goes with him for moral support and must all pitch in to play the video game of their life on Pierce's behalf – or risk losing his inheritance. Most of the episode is animated as an 8-bit video game. 
Each of the avatars that the characters created had their limitations, and they had worked together to overcome their disabilities in the game. The main message that the show provided was that it was important for people to create bonds of friendship. Video games can either bring people closer together or separate them, but it depends on the people to choose what they want in life. 

In regards to the Little Big Planet. I have learned a great deal by playing that game for the project. The game allows people all over to interact with one another and to help them achieve success in the game. But there is more to learn from the game. Everything has pros and cons to it, but it all depends on the intentions of the people. 

Below is a game footage of the actual game that was played in the TV series. It is fascinating to see how they made this game more interactive with the episode that they played a couple of months ago when they played the episode. 




Below are some more footages from the episode, this was shared for fun purposes.
