“Happy 4th of July!” is the very first Hoops & Yoyo eCard made by Bob Holt in 2001, animated on Macromedia Flash. It was remade a few years later in 2004/2005, no confirmed date.


  • Estimated Release Date: July 3, 2001 (Original); 2004/2005 (Remake)
  • Holiday: USA Independence Day
  • Characters Featured: Hoops
  • Lost Media Status: Found

Synopsis

Hoops attempts to light off a firework in a soda bottle and run for cover, only for the fuse to repeatedly fizzle out. It finally blows up after Hoops gets too close to the fuse. In the original version, Hoops fell over. In the remake version, the firework blows up in this face.

Trivia
