Appearances[]
Animator vs. Animation II[]
In Animator vs. Animation II, he, Mozilla Firefox, and many other programs tried to stop The Chosen One. It wakes up after being hit with a fireball. (Thrown by The Chosen One at Mozilla Firefox) After Firefox lands in the Recycle Bin, it jumps up to Windows Media Player and fires some music notes at the Chosen One, but the Chosen One throws one back, causing an explosion and knocking AIM onto the Paint icon. AIM then took the pens in the paint icon and starts fighting The Chosen One while Noogai3 runs the actual program, asking Programmer021 how to beat The Chosen One. The Chosen One destroys AIM before Programmer021 can tell him how.

Only with help, it holds on for a while but is defeated when The Chosen One slams the AOL Instant Messenger app page corner into his chest. Noogai3 opens the Send To menu for unknown reasons. (the options were Graveyard and Heaven). Then, My Computer appears and starts fighting the Chosen One.
Animator vs. Animation III[]
AIM also appears in Animator vs. Animation III, albeit with a much smaller role. He was one of the many programs who fought The Chosen One. He hung back for a really long time until Google Chrome, WMM, Orbit, and Yahoo were defeated, and then entered the battle. Upon entering, he fought along with Mozilla Firefox. He supposedly died soon after, when he and The Dark Lord were thrown into Minesweeper; while The Dark Lord attempted to navigate the maze, Firefox was defeated, and thrown into Minesweeper, landing on a mine, and destroying most of the Minesweeper area, and killing AIM and Firefox.
