It's a pretty simple site, but what I liked immediately was the graphic appeal. And when I started mousing around, the addition of the sound took it to another level. I probably moused over the sequence of bars 10 times before actually clicking on one.
I thought it was a pretty fresh take on site navigation. Of particular interest was that each nav bar seemed to be its own little Flash movie, each with its own loading script. Pretty slick.
Once you click in, you've got a couple different options to get around the site. You can either use your arrow keys to check out the content, or the bar across the bottom that comes up when you mouse over that area.
You can even check out the older version of the site, which is in itself a pretty cool Flash exercise.

2 :: Yo Gabba Gabba! - Kids TV Show Site
Where do I even start with this one?! There is so much fun stuff going on with this site, all courtesy of creative minds and our pal Flash.
First, when you come to the site, you immediately know you're getting into something fun. From the use of colors to the fonts and graphics, it all speaks to the intended audience. And is even cool for older peeps to explore.
The loading script is even fun, and the way it transitions to the home page is really nice, as if it were peeling back the cover to reveal even more good stuff. Once you're in, the layout is pretty basic, but the content is far from. You can check out videos, play games, and interact in countless ways. They even have a separate area that takes you to news and their blog.
The interactivity at the bottom that allows you to identify each of the characters is a particularly nice touch. So get in there, check it out, explore. It's pretty addicting really, and I'm way older than 10.
