The Curse of Animutation, often called the DDR Dave Thomas Curse after the first noticed example, is an effect that has been observed happening to several animutation characters.
The best-known example was the saga of DDR Dave Thomas. Posted on Newgrounds on January 4, 2002, Wendy's founder Dave Thomas died four days later, January 8. This immediately led to speculation of a curse.
Later, in January 2004, Mark Hughes posted his classic animutation Shumway on Flashplayer.com, and the next day, Captain Kangaroo, one of the stars of Shumway, died.
stub: Wesley Willis, appearing in Rock And Roll Mcdonalds died as well. However, his death was over a year after the release of Rock and Roll Mcdonalds.
There are no explanations as to why the curse would only affect certain characters, mainly ones who were only used in one or two movies. Major examples include Matthew Lesko, Colin Mochrie, and Alex Chiu. Earlier, people had suggested that Dave Thomas actually saw the movie, which caused his death. However, now that it is known that Lesko and Mochrie both know about their animutation star status, an inverse theory might hold up better: that animutation characters can fall victim to the curse if they don't see movies featuring themselves. It is unknown whether Alex Chiu has seen any of the movies featuring him, such as We Drink Ritalin, but he invented the Immortality Rings, which could be another cause for his immunity.
It was briefly referenced to in Hyakugojyuuichi Forever. When Dave Thomas pops up, his pacemaker explodes and he says, "Ack! I'm a Fanimutation!"
