Welcome to Thumb Bandits journey into the Wild World of Animal Crossing. Unlike it’s Gamecube predecessor, Animal Crossing Wild World allows quite a bit of customization of both characters and environments. This led to the idea of this article.. setting up Animal Crossing characters in various well known settings and / or as well known celebrities / villains / gaming characters and / or situations.
Why? Well it’s simple really. Animal Crossing on the Gamecube lacked the ability to change the looks of in game characters to any huge degree. Animal Crossing Wild World on the Nintendo DS opens this up and it’s a lot of fun. So why not? It’s something different, which is always good.
Remember, you saw it here at Thumb Bandits FIRST!

Special thanks to Wencke, Tracy, Stevie, Amanda, Colin and Cat for their help, support and ideas.
** The ONLY screenshots on this page that were ‘tweaked’ were that of Gordon Freeman and Gordon Ramsay. Essentially it took an age to set up (making uniforms, walls, ordering props etc) and I then realised there was no goatee beard! So that was added to Gordon Freeman. The other Gordon, Hells Kitchen’s Gordon Ramsay had harsh language added in for dramatic effect. Everything else though is totally kosher.
