A video that retains 1/3rd of its original purchase price 6 years after publication, and a series that is still producing sequels (latest in November 2008) seems to have significant lasting value. Veggietales (BigIdea) isn't Pixar, but they do have quite a following, and 3-2-1 Penguins sells around the world. Natebailey ( talk) 11:03, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Squid-Tac-Toad is an enhanced version of
Tic-tac-toe. Instead of a 3x3 grid, players either play on a 4x4 grid (on Earth) or a 5x5 grid (on Bullamanka).
Each player has two spinners. One side of the board spins for a letter (A-D/E) and a special piece (Squid Hopper or Toad Roller). The other spins for a number (1-4/5) and a player piece (red-naped duck "ib" or yellow-capped tadpole "Whopperdinghy"). Each player also has a disposal chute for captured pieces.
The centre of the playing board is the checkboard grid. The letter plus number defines where on the board the player piece will be placed, eg. A1 would put the piece in the top left corner, D4 (or E5) would put it in the bottom right corner.
If a special piece is spun, then the owner of that piece gets a chance to knock off one of the existing pieces on the board. If it is knocked off, it is then disposed of in the chute. The Whopperdinghy side gets the Toad Roller and the Ib side gets the Squid Hopper as their special piece. In either case, it projects a ball/boxing glove-like object tied to a piece of string.
When a player gets four (or five) in a row, they win the game.

WP:GNG states:
If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article.
Three sources for the bare existence of the topic-video is no more "significant coverage" than one is. If any of these sources have anything to say beyond a mere ( WP:IINFO) 'announcement' (of things like release date, availability, selling price, plot summary, etc, then by all means cite them for that information). Dumping a whole heap of sources for a topic's mere existence is blatant 'ref-spamming' -- attempting to give the appearance of "significant coverage" without the reality of it.

This article is a mess:
I'm therefore placing a {{ cleanup}} on the article. Hrafn Talk Stalk( P) 06:51, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
It seems to me that What's Opera, Doc? is probably a good example article to draw from in the design/implementation of this page? I'd happily take advice on a better example; are there any good or feature quality articles in shorter animated features? Natebailey ( talk) 12:06, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
