Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In-universe, the VBirds are a girl group comprised of four alien sisters (Wow, Boom, Bling, and D:Lin) who hail from Planet V. As punishment for refusing to partake in King He:Lin's Dance Farms, they are shrunk, placed in a spaceship, and sent off to Earth. Landing in a fun-fair's arcade room, the ship reforms itself into a DanceDanceRevolution-esque arcade cabinet (the Dance Machine) where the girls are forced to dance along whenever it is played. In spite of their condition, they manage to remain famous pop stars, now performing for a different audience.In real life, the VBirds were a virtual animated band created by Cartoon Network UK, with the actual music created by a team of musicians. Their single "Virtuality" was released in 2003, being promoted by a series of six minute-long shorts that aired on Cartoon Network and other UK children's channels, a music video, a website, an interview with Dec on SM:tv Live, and even a contest to win merchandise and tickets to see the VBirds open for British boy band Blazin' Squad. While the song was moderately successful, no more singles were released afterward, and the franchise died out by the next year.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

| VBirds / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: The SM:tv Live interview and official website (now offline) gave more information about the VBirds than the shorts, like insights into their personalities and the girls being sisters. While the latter is now largely inaccessible due to the demise of Adobe Flash, the Wayback Machine managed to archive three batches of articles from the "news" section. | |

Big Bad: The despotic King He:Lin acts as the main (and only) antagonist by having the VBirds exiled and imprisoned. | |

| VBirds / int_b067ddfe | comment |
Animated Music Video: The shorts all collectively act as one for "Virtuality" and (to a lesser extent) "Dance With Me", though "Virtuality" also has its own separate music video with different footage. | |
