Watch Animal Crossing: New Horizons' Tom Nook and Isabelle Dance to Popular Songs

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is officially a huge hit for Nintendo, in case you missed it, and that means the game is getting into the hands of a lot of people with nothing but time thanks to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Case in point: a series of viral posts on Twitter featuring the game's Tom Nook and Isabelle dancing to various popular songs.

Tom Nook, if you're somehow not aware, is the main character behind selling houses and plots and construction and the like in Animal Crossing: New Horizons and he features in the previous entries in a similar capacity. Isabelle, a relatively new addition to the franchise, serves with Nook as part of the game's Resident Services in the main building that every island has once it's upgraded sufficiently. The two of them sometimes get up to shenanigans behind the counter, including dancing. And, well, now some enterprising folks have set that dancing to song. And, honestly? It works.
