The entire time I saw this I couldn't help but repeat to myself "this was made by one person wtf." Seriously, how can one person be that motivated? This is incredible
I was nearly in tears watching this. This was magical. I feel like this is how cartoons are always supposed to look. The new standard. This belongs in a museum.
This took 5 years to complete and be released, it's absolutely beautiful and amazing, one can tell so much passion was put into this and it's very much appreciated 💕💕
And here we see what is referred to as a timeless song, and if you’ll note the stellar animation that feels so wonderfully nostalgic yet lively and fresh. You too will see why it is a song many return to and rarely if ever skip over.
This video is the perfect combination of nostalgia, hilarious and raunchy. It wears the Betty Boop inspiration with pride and manages to still manages to be its own thing. That's not mentioning the animation quality. Amazing work man!
I know this was 7 years ago, but seeing this now has given me hope that people haven't completely forgotten about the true art that is 2D animation. I hope we will get into a new Golden Age of animation in the future...
The fact that one person made this and that it still looks amazing almost 10 years later is still wild to me. Everything from the backgrounds to the colors and lines are so clean and personalized it's just really impressive. This genuinely looks like something a whole studio at disney could've made.
The feel i get from this song at the you dont need to love someone thats exactly like you. The monkey pretended to be a racoon to be loved but he says 'its be so noce if youd realize, you gotta gimme alittle bit of what you got.' basically you dont need to be exactly the same person to love someone, ypu can have some things in common but can still love each other for being different people
This animation inspired me to apply to animation school back when I was in high school and I am now completing my portfolio . Thank you. I love your art and music taste! 💙 💙
I keep watching this art, and am so happy there are not shortcuts in telling the story. Backgrounds aren't recycled, reactions which run in threes are played out and EACH different. A Hanna Barbera sensibility would have constantly recycled actions and reactions - You don't. You make them all individual and unique which is why multiple watchings are necessary. Again, great work!
I just can't belive it took TH-cam 7 freaking years to recomend me this master piece..... I mean, the animation is Just perfect and aged like wine, maybe the creator don't see this but congratulations because this is amazing
The girl looks like the human costume from My Life as a Teenage Robot and the tree creature looks like the red guy from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends
This is soo cute and funny, this creator deserve so much more views. I like this universe and thoses characters, and that "retro" way of drawings and that silly sens of humour. i think that by taking all that and mixing it with a little bit of the crazyness of Tex Avery, Chuck Jones, and Salvador Dali in a bunch of shorts clips like "La Linea" could really be a nice animated serie. I wish the best to that great artist/creator.

The song is about interspecies romance, at least the baboon kept within Mammalia. that girl was jumping way over into the plant kingdom.
Her: falls down a mountain and goes swimming, strapless dress stays on
Me: breathes in a strapless dress and it falls off
As a guy this tickles me in a funny way with that imagery...
And she climbed a tree as well

Congratulations you made an almost 4 minutes long animation which is 10 times better than Emoji movie by yourself.

So saying its ten times the emoji movie is an understatement
