VIDEO: NFC Championship Game Gets the Taiwanese Animation Treatment

NFC Championship game preview

The Taiwanese animators behind the infamous Tiger Woods animation parody and plenty others since have turned their attention to Sunday’s NFC Championship game between Colin Kaepernick’s San Francisco 49ers and Russell Wilson’s Seattle Seahawks. We could tell you more about it (because what’s more fun than a text recap of a 70 second video?) but you’re better off just seeing for yourself.
