I'm gonna make an incredibly bold prediction that I have almost no evidence for whatsoever, but I can't help but think that with these unexplained disappearances in the Don't Starve universe seemingly becoming more and more apparent to the people on earth to the point where it's reaching headlines, (and here's my prediction) the Constant- whether it's Charlie's influence or simply some kind of instability between both worlds, is gradually leaking into and changing earth at an increasing rate. In fact, what if the "return of Them" is not _"Them"_ returning to the Constant, but to earth? After all, how did Maxwell (A.K.A William Carter) discover the Codex Umbra on earth if something magical like that could have only existed in the Constant? Perhaps it was "Them" who, at some point in the far flung past, was on earth and had to flee back into the Constant, leaving their ancient and forbidden knowledge behind, only for some poor sucker like Maxwell to find and fall down a rabbit hole I'm sure he never intended to...
Imagine being so dedicated to your role that you'd rather starve yourself then eat a berry and break character, that's how badly she wanted to succeed as an actress, to the point of leaving everything she had for the sake of her passion.
@Mason caddick she also frequently mentions how dying isn't be so bad because people will live on in valhalla so i think she'd rather die with dignity because she would live on in valhalla than break charcter
@Mason caddick Wigfrid thinking: my god the props are really good almost life like Wilson: run away from deerclops!!! Wigfrid still thinking: ... The performance of these actors as well I really wanna read the papers after the show
@Mason caddick i think it's just because she's a method actor, so she's always really dedicated to her role in theatre, which is being a badass valkyrie
Yeah, I mean, when you think about it, the world of the constant is pretty much her stage at this point, because she never turns her acting off, and just kinda *becomes* her character. And she was in the headlines, whether she realizes it or not, though, perhaps not really for the reasons she wanted. So yeah, Maxwell was completely telling the truth.
When I saw that headline I actually began to think that this was either a few years ahead from the earthquake and when both Maxwell and Charlie were taken by the shadows or it was made after the earthquake struck, like a few weeks prior
The contrasts between vulnerable actress and invincible Valkyrie, a house whispering success and a newspaper screaming failure, an invisible critic and a massive serpent, a glorious opera and a slow clap...
I've recently gotten employed as an english teacher just for this alone, and I CAN quallifyingly say that THIS is indeed..... an Absolutely underrated comment.
Oh no, people thought was a great fit for the character, and that is the whole problem, she got type-casted more or less. The picture in the newspaper with the title about not being able to recapture the glory of her previous role (the viking) displayed a picture of Wig in a gown, a different opera. She was so good at being the viking, they didn't think she was good doing anything else.
@@fox1098216 I kinda meant that. She was so fit for the viking character, that they thought she wasn't fit for the new one. She becomes the characters she acts as, but in doing so became stuck as a viking.
Its kinda like how everyone can only see Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter. Its hard to see him in any other role because the second you see him everyone just thinks "oh hey its the guy who played Harry Potter"
Y'know, the way Wig got sent to the Constant by Max seemed to be more polite and dignified than the rest of the cast. Nothing forced and Wig herself seemed to actually loved the deal. It feels like Max had a soft spot for a fellow fallen performance artist?
I feel like it was because most of the other characters arent that desperate Wilson would be smart enough too but his obsession with science took over. Wendy was probably promised her sister back and many more
Unsure as to why, but something on Maxwell’s ability to appeal to anybody and get his way is something I love, along with his sinister appearance. Bravo Klei.
It’s kinda sad, she was lonely, looks like wigfrid had a lot of money but that couldn’t fill her hollow heart, the only thing that could fill it was doing the things she liked, even if she had to leave her old life for that I love you klei
I actually think that's her mail post-disappearance. It's still pretty sad though, because it goes to show she was still pretty successful and she let her insecurities get the best of her
Wow this one is INSANE. I love the change of genre the animation took in her fantasy while still holding all of the Klei charm that it's recognizable for. Really gives a much better insight about what type of performer Wigfrid was as well, it's great to see some classic performance in there! The lighting through the windows among the monochromatic shots?? Beautiful. Of course though, Maxwell takes the cake for me, THAT'S MY MAN. The unnerving text appearing on screen even though all of these shorts have no dialogue has such adds such an interesting layer of eeriness. Thank you Klei, the excitement is SO through the roof with this one! Knocked it out of the park.
It's interesting to note that her entrance into the constant seems far more dignified than what we've seen before, she isn't dragged into a portal or or magicked away when she's not looking, she just accepts the deal and Maxwell transports her to the constant. And indeed, she mostly gets what she wants, she gets the performance of her life, there are no surprise curses or dangers she wasn't expecting.
K Valentine I mean, there’s that being her schtick (LARP’ing is a thing) and her being a professional actress that jumped at the chance rather than needing to be dragged in.
@@Joy-nq9xu I'm willing to bet Wickerbottom was searching for more knowledge, after reading all of the books in her library countless times she wanted something brand new, a challenge to test her infinite wisdom, to finally rekindle the thrill of discovering something that even *she* doesn't know.
@@Karasvoid Maxwell is a cowardly brit, or, at least he WAS, while charlie was a nice lady before becoming an evil queen, while maxwell uses wordplay (like a darn cowardly british person) charlie just kinda takes em (except for winona since she's literally her sister so she sort of decieved her but also literally saved her from dying)
@@Karasvoid from a legal perspective, yes, she is a kidnapper, her domain is literally a separate dimension, not to mention she has god-like abilities and can pretty much do whatever she pleases in the constant, so I think (and this is a stretch) she may be SLIGHTLY above the law.
@@asrieldreemurr1988 -Wilfrid's backstory -The fact she's the latest one to get dragged into the Constant -How Maxwell appeared to the others besides Wilson -And that Klei is super good at animating action
Days now pass in halls of life now aged, A life of one yet many staged. A time of glory, a still flaring soul, A talent the hearts of many were stole. Within these halls, still echoes this role. A warrior, a fighter, a patron of glory, A battle of ages, a tale most gory. But alas, dear star. The public turns eyes, Days drag on, how time flies.

She literally became the character that she's always played in shows. She's literally living the dream of her life! Becoming the powerful and respected warrior she's always had the potential to be!
This is such a wonderful look into who Wigfrid really is behind the Valkyrie. I do like how at the end, the newspaper identifies her as "star of the stage". She did have what she desired, but it just didn't seem that way.
I just love the idea that she was so good at being the valkyrie that everything else she did seemed bad in comparison. Kinda adds to why she never changes role or breaks character. The constant is the chance to be the best version of herself all the time.
so for what i can understand, wigfrid (before she got to the constant) was a famous actress, but after some time her career wasn't going too well, but she still wanted to prove herself and stay famous, maxwell offered her a deal (which was actually a trap) saying he can make the world her stage, if she shakes his hand
Wigfrid has been my favorite character to play as since her release in Reign of Giants! I’m glad she’s finally getting expanded upon lore wise. Good job as always Klei! Also Maxwell has also always been a favorite character of mine so it was great seeing the two in a new short!
Don't starve characters: "Man, i wish i was better at ______." Maxwell: "Now this looks like a job for me." Edit: WOw gUyS tHAnKs FoR aLL oF tHe LiK- naw I'm not about that life lol
Wilson: better at science Willow: better at arson Woody: better at chopping Wolfgang: better at being fearless Winona: better at building Wickerbottom: better at reading Warly: better at cooking Webber: better at being eaten??? Wes: better at... nothing! Wormwood: better at making friends Wortox: better at pranks WX78: better at evil murder Wendy: better sister Wurt: better than pigs Walter: better Boy Scout Wigfrother: better at çöômbät
YOOO THIS IS AWESOME! THE LORE KEEPS GETTING MORE AND MORE INTERESTING! I honestly never expected Wigfrid, OUT OF ALL PEOPLE, to make a deal with THE Maxwell
Its theory that all dont starve games are just a stage performance like when you switch cameras its like there is a paper that flip of like a figure in a stage
That slow, solo clap gave me freaking chills, because I knew who it had to be before we saw him. Amazing fight scene, too. This is one of the best Klei animations to date.
Oh, I definitely got misty-eyed as well. She's my main, so when she hurts, I feel it. This was just so beautifully done. Absolutely stunning work from Klei. But Warly's short? Straight up balling my eyes out, unashamed. Too many feels!
Wigfrid: (starts singind) Me: aw, she wants to re-live her moments of glory Also wigfrid: (changes the whole art stlyle and starst fighting a giagent news-paper serpent) Me: nevermind, Klei was just being Klei
Ahhh, yes. Thanks to that incredibly well animated fantasy sequence, now everybody can perceive Wigfrid the way that I have for years. Thank you for this, Klei. You've made Wigfrid mains very, very happy this day.
Another brilliant video, definitely wasn't expecting the stylistic change in the middle there but it makes a lot of sense considering wigfrids mindset !
This is great! Wigfrid is basically the only character I feel confident to fight with, so a rework is gonna be fun! Also this short is *mwah* so good. I’m excited to see what’s in store for other characters, and I really hope for a Webber Rework sometime soon.
I am most impressed by the animation in this short. The newspaper dragon sequence is probably the best animated scene Klei has done yet, hands down. Truly a magnificent short.
I swear, if Klei just has an animation department, and makes Don’t Starve into an animated series on a big network like Netflix or Hulu or something, I would support it 100%. These little shorts are so full of charm and character that it begs to see a larger screen.
I like how she knows how to make the props and transcribe the ballads by heart Almost like she was so obsessed with the play that made her famous every Freebthought is dedicated to it
Well, I think so. According to wiki: 11. November 1903 Abigail Lilian Cartet and Wendy Carter are born 17. April 1906 (San Francisco) Maxwell and Charlie had their final act Wigfrid is transported to Constant 39. March 1911 New York liblary burns down (Wickerbloom get transpoted in Constant. 16. April 1914 Wendy hears Ragtime in her dreams (and is transported to constant) 1919 a Woxola radio is build Wagstaf and Wiona get dragged to the Constant Woodie is transported to the Constant. 1921 Wilson has build a portal and is tragged to the Constant Walter is dragged to Constand after investigateing Woodies cabin
@@Karak-_- Well, when Walter gets in the moon is already broken. As far as we know Together is at the end of DS timeline, so walter came in a lot of time after other survivors. Characters like Woodie and Wicker were in already.
This is amazing. Wigfrid is one of my favorites in Don't starve. I adore this short! 🥰 Thank you, Klei, for the greatest survival game and the best characters.
@@aletheaxl At 00:51 you can see it on the newspaper, but it's scratched out and illegible. I assume it's like this because they haven't given her a "real" name
I noticed that he did exactly what he promised. He put her in the headlines and he gave her the properties of her character before dumping her in a world of legend
I love how people still acknowledge that their friends, family or known people are missing from their world. But don't know their trapped in another realm far from reach.
Love all of your work and the fact that you keep delivering, thanks for everything. Every little piece of animated lore that gets unravelled is a joy to watch
I feel like her finally letting her true colors as a stage performer show through is a sign of her having developed extreme trust in the other survivors. How sweet!
I actually think she is the only character that is happier in the constant, since there she can fully commit to what she truly loves, being a fearless viking, not the money and fame that clearly wasn't fulfilling for her
I think Wormwood and Wurt are happy to stay there too. Wormwood is thirsty for knowledge and wants to know and explore the world. Wurt, on the other hand, wishes to expand her kingdom. At the same time I think they are too naive and innocent to understand the brutality of "The Constant". Wx-78 and Walter don't really care about the constant i think. The first is an automaton, The second, similar to Wigfrid, sees the whole world as a means of testing his Boy Scout skills, or maybe he is just too fearless to care enough.
@@neutralit-y4255 Wormwood and Wurt are native to the constant, so they don't really know anything better I was comparing her more to the others that were "abducted"
i adore this! Wigfrid has been my favorite character since the start because she was an actress, and now I learn she was a Prima Donna too! Ahhhh! Love it! Love it so much. Great work Klei!

Maxwell didn't lied... he really put her back in the headlines
He also made the world (of Constant) her stage.
Just like how he did technically give Wilson forbidden knowledge, pretty clever.

so for what i can understand, wigfrid (before she got to the constant) was a famous actress, but after some time her career wasn't going too well, but she still wanted to prove herself and stay famous, maxwell offered her a deal (which was actually a trap) saying he can make the world her stage, if she shakes his hand
the second parentheses is just stating the obvious
sounds about right
@@impazie The whole comment is just stating the obvious
Wait, I know you...
@@pinkfurret6245 lol i'm from the discord
Wigfrid has been my favorite character to play as since her release in Reign of Giants! I’m glad she’s finally getting expanded upon lore wise. Good job as always Klei!
Also Maxwell has also always been a favorite character of mine so it was great seeing the two in a new short!
BRO- WHY IS THIS DONE SO WELL SHEJENEKEMEKENKENEOEKEK
Title: Don’t Starve Together animation
Me: *A warning of James bucket doing another rhyming poem*
Just as always, amazing work Klei! Already downloading the update.
Don't starve characters: "Man, i wish i was better at ______."
Maxwell: "Now this looks like a job for me."

@@igorfernandes2493 Now that you said "underrated comment" it's probably going to be near 1k likes or over
@@sirboneymcskeleton8025 Webber probably didn't want to be digested by the spider, or wanted to become the monster
At least maxwell wasn't lying she was put back on the headline
YOOO THIS IS AWESOME! THE LORE KEEPS GETTING MORE AND MORE INTERESTING!
I honestly never expected Wigfrid, OUT OF ALL PEOPLE, to make a deal with THE Maxwell
This is really great, i am always looking forward to new animations, just a revelation!
Maxwell: Hey kid, you know what it means for the world to be your stage?
Wigfrid: Uhm, wh-
Maxwell: *Would you like to?*
she protecc
she attacc
but most importantly
her voice is good as hecc
love you klei ❤
1:42 "I can make the world your stage" you know, the whole game is just a stage
Metaphorically? Or literally? I’m not good enough at the game to have actually reached the end
Its theory that all dont starve games are just a stage performance like when you switch cameras its like there is a paper that flip of like a figure in a stage
@@myb0805 Or how the waves look like cutouts on sticks in the original DS
@@couchfrenchfry6132 the stage for a warrior, for that she is crazy. Maxwell didnt lied in both offers
Thank you to you all
Amazing! Never thought I'd want a Don't Starve 'The Anime' so much
That slow, solo clap gave me freaking chills, because I knew who it had to be before we saw him. Amazing fight scene, too. This is one of the best Klei animations to date.
Never thought I’d see Maxwell again like this
This is very Sad. She's one favorite Characters. Yet, this story almost had me Crying. 😭
Great work Klei.
Oh, I definitely got misty-eyed as well. She's my main, so when she hurts, I feel it. This was just so beautifully done. Absolutely stunning work from Klei.
But Warly's short? Straight up balling my eyes out, unashamed. Too many feels!
@@Havron, same.
0:51 10/10 COOL BATTLE ANIMES
These animations are always amazing, it gives characters more personality and shows us more about them
Moral of the story: when your life is boring dire hair red And carry around large sharp objects
LORE! LORE! WHAT AN ANIMATION! SUCH BEAUTIFUL MUSIC! CONGRATULATIONS, DEAR KLEI!
Damn, that backstory hits hard. Great job!
Wigfrid: (starts singind)
Me: aw, she wants to re-live her moments of glory
Also wigfrid: (changes the whole art stlyle and starst fighting a giagent news-paper serpent)
Me: nevermind, Klei was just being Klei
Ahhh, yes. Thanks to that incredibly well animated fantasy sequence, now everybody can perceive Wigfrid the way that I have for years. Thank you for this, Klei. You've made Wigfrid mains very, very happy this day.
Oh you don't know how much I love this gameplay
Another brilliant video, definitely wasn't expecting the stylistic change in the middle there but it makes a lot of sense considering wigfrids mindset !
hot dang Jeff really went off on us huh
This is great! Wigfrid is basically the only character I feel confident to fight with, so a rework is gonna be fun! Also this short is *mwah* so good. I’m excited to see what’s in store for other characters, and I really hope for a Webber Rework sometime soon.
Now you got one :D
I really love all these animations. I’m a big fan of the game but these animations really hit home the lore. Wonderful job as always.
I am most impressed by the animation in this short. The newspaper dragon sequence is probably the best animated scene Klei has done yet, hands down. Truly a magnificent short.
They're keep improving this game.Valve can learn a lesson or two
or 3
whait i forgot thats a mith
I want to disagree by saying that L4D2 got the update on a same day as DST but it was created by the community so you can argue if it counts.
@@-ers7827 cough tf2 cough
@@bradynstanley3201 "Now now, there's no such thing as three." - Gabe Newell
Well that would only count for TF2, the singleplayer games are already perfect and they can't really change the CSGO formula
I swear, if Klei just has an animation department, and makes Don’t Starve into an animated series on a big network like Netflix or Hulu or something, I would support it 100%. These little shorts are so full of charm and character that it begs to see a larger screen.
"The Curtain Calls"
Caught my attention due to playing a certain meticulous Virtuoso.
Wonderful performance indeed.
1:18
Is this what they describe as "chills".
I like it.
This is definitely one of- if not my favorite short so far! I absolutely loved the sudden switch in animation styles.
Crazy animation Klei! I can't wait to check out the refresh for myself! Great job as always!😄
I like how she knows how to make the props and transcribe the ballads by heart
Almost like she was so obsessed with the play that made her famous every Freebthought is dedicated to it
damn klei really knows how to visually represent how we feel playing Wigfrid.
"String of strange disappearances"? Does that mean a lot of the DS characters originated from the same time period
Well, I think so. According to wiki:
11. November 1903 Abigail Lilian Cartet and Wendy Carter are born
17. April 1906 (San Francisco) Maxwell and Charlie had their final act
Wigfrid is transported to Constant
39. March 1911 New York liblary burns down (Wickerbloom get transpoted in Constant.
16. April 1914 Wendy hears Ragtime in her dreams (and is transported to constant)
1919 a Woxola radio is build Wagstaf and Wiona get dragged to the Constant
Woodie is transported to the Constant.
1921 Wilson has build a portal and is tragged to the Constant
Walter is dragged to Constand after investigateing Woodies cabin
@@Karak-_- I don't know, sounds fishy chief
@@MilhSpears What's wrong?
@@Karak-_- Well, when Walter gets in the moon is already broken. As far as we know Together is at the end of DS timeline, so walter came in a lot of time after other survivors. Characters like Woodie and Wicker were in already.
@@MilhSpears Yes, thank you. I probably wasn't thinking enough while writing it.
This is amazing. Wigfrid is one of my favorites in Don't starve. I adore this short! 🥰
Thank you, Klei, for the greatest survival game and the best characters.
That’s a fun Monkey’s paw with “I can put your name in the headlines”
omg Klei, the animations only get better...it's amazing how you dedicate yourself to all your work, thank you very much for that ;D
I like how all of her pictures and decorations are of her. She's the female William Shatner.
Seeing Maxwell again in a short after all this time gave me goosebumps, We need more on how Maxwell persuaded everyone imo
So that means Wigfrid is technically a fictional character and not her ?
Yep. Wigfrid isn’t her real name
@@youtubec8563 so whats her real name?
@@aletheaxl At 00:51 you can see it on the newspaper, but it's scratched out and illegible. I assume it's like this because they haven't given her a "real" name
@@TheActionAsk ok thx
I am always amazed by these animations! Good job klei! This game is soon going to end up big!
I noticed that he did exactly what he promised. He put her in the headlines and he gave her the properties of her character before dumping her in a world of legend
Klei always does an amazing job and each animation keeps getting better
This video is so high quality, that I thought the sound of Maxwell clapping was real.
Well done klei I was waiting for Webber or Wigfrid animation! Right before early October which is my birthday
I love how people still acknowledge that their friends, family or known people are missing from their world. But don't know their trapped in another realm far from reach.
Love all of your work and the fact that you keep delivering, thanks for everything.
Every little piece of animated lore that gets unravelled is a joy to watch
I feel like her finally letting her true colors as a stage performer show through is a sign of her having developed extreme trust in the other survivors. How sweet!
I love how each animated short gives nuggets of info and then leaves me even more curious about the lore! Brilliant work, Klei!
Griftlands look a little weird today.
I absolutely love how it's always these animations that inspire me to push forward and inspire me to animate! I love this so much, thank you!
To be fair he didnt lie, she gets the constant as her stage and im sure a famous actress going missing will put her in the headlines
Absolutely wonderful, Klei! I loved seeing that combat animation. It was beautifully made as always and the singing was ASTOUNDING!
I actually think she is the only character that is happier in the constant, since there she can fully commit to what she truly loves, being a fearless viking, not the money and fame that clearly wasn't fulfilling for her
I think Wormwood and Wurt are happy to stay there too. Wormwood is thirsty for knowledge and wants to know and explore the world. Wurt, on the other hand, wishes to expand her kingdom. At the same time I think they are too naive and innocent to understand the brutality of "The Constant".
Wx-78 and Walter don't really care about the constant i think. The first is an automaton, The second, similar to Wigfrid, sees the whole world as a means of testing his Boy Scout skills, or maybe he is just too fearless to care enough.
@@neutralit-y4255 Wormwood and Wurt are native to the constant, so they don't really know anything better I was comparing her more to the others that were "abducted"
Wilow sees constant as a new begining so i guess that counts
Klei you’re spoiling us with these animations, bravo.
The thing is here is that Maxwell keeped his promise
i adore this! Wigfrid has been my favorite character since the start because she was an actress, and now I learn she was a Prima Donna too! Ahhhh! Love it! Love it so much. Great work Klei!
This is it chief
The way Wig did all of that in her nightgown...
