 SolarBalls (Web Animation)
comment
SolarBalls is a web series created by British-Peruvian animator Alvaro Calmet, who also created MrSpherical, Worker Boi, and Human Buddy.The Series follows Astrodude, an astronaut who goes out into space but little does he know that the planets, moons, etc. can talk and think, just like us. This fact makes him wonder whether he’s going insane or not, as the planets also engage in their own drama.The whole series is available on the official YouTube channel.

 SolarBalls (Web Animation) / int_2d4fa515
comment
Ax-Crazy: Sun, particularly in the earlier episodes, as he often has a Slasher Smile and would often threaten planets that if they leave their orbit then he’ll shoot them with solar flares. If you thought that The Sun was bad, Ceres is even worse as he contains all the traits of Sun in the early episodes but without any of the good qualities The Sun has, even the thumbnail of his debut episode, he has a Slasher smile and he is the only character in the entire show whose dialogue only consists of laughter, further establishing himself as crazy.

A.I. Is a Crapshoot
 SolarBalls (Web Animation) / int_420c50b7
comment
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Zig-Zagged in the episode “Will Robots conquer Space?� with the Superior Astronaut Replacement, it first appeared to be helpful to Astrodude, but it turns out to be the main antagonist of the episode and had put some sleeping pills in the beef stroganoff, only in a later scene to help Astrodude when his helmet is cracked, which is later revealed to have happened only because S.A.R. doesn’t see humans as a threat. Played straight with the Venera probes in the "Surviving Venus" arc, who, after coming back to life, start chasing Astrodude; shouting "Join us!" in Russian.

Characterization Marches On
 SolarBalls (Web Animation) / int_479f9ad0
comment
Characterization Marches On: In the early episodes, The Earth could be described as a jerk who often belittled moons and was even mean to his so called ‘friends’, but in the later episodes he tries to make up for his mistakes and even outright redeems himself in "The Earth's Redemption".

Go Mad from the Isolation: While not Ax-Crazy like The Sun and Ceres, Neptune’s odd traits such as his short-term memory were caused by loneliness for 165 years because of his orbit.

Cerebus Retcon: In "Why does Saturn have rings?", Uranus jokingly theorizes that he can force his moons to crash into him to expand his rings, with all the moons immediately running away. Later in "The Moons of Uranus", it is revealed that they are still on the run and are very hurt by what he said.
