This style of flash was so unbelievably common back in 2005-2008. It's so weird how it just fizzled out, but then again, it's amazing how the quality of home made animations by amateur artists has improved so much.
I miss the flash era it put strange amounts of inspiration in people then again I feel this kind of video do still exist but people usually do it in "animatic" form rather than put in the effort to actually colour and animate the whole thing
If anyones curious. The artist who made this is still active on their deviant art as some art is as least very recent. It's crazy to think some artists still post years later because in my experience a lot just vanish or move on to a different thing. Im glad shes still around!
@@roseywolf7867 it would be awesome if this video was revisited, both to see the art improve and to see what new characters show up after 13 years of new media and whatnot. they have done a couple homages to it a few times, but never a full reanimation
not only are they still active but they sometimes post gifs based on this video on their tumblr with more recent characters (ie their zombie ocs from left 4 dead, Spamton from Deltarune, etc etc) and its always a delight to see

By the way, the original creator made this in flash, meaning if it wasn't uploaded, it could've ended up being lost media. This is why archiving is a thing, people.
I wish people still had the will to make these kinds of works with their favorite characters without feeling cringe. The early internet was a wild place, but you can't deny it sparked so much creativity.
I swear I left a reply here...eh, I'll say it again. People are very much still doing this! We're the Top 5 and Rakenzarn Tales are two great examples of this kind of thing in the modern day
I just adore how seemingly random the characters chosen for this are. The creator just had a lot of faves and wanted to animate them, even if they were minor characters in their respective games. I admire that.
It reminds me of how anime conventions used to be, back around 2010. So many folks in so many cosplays of that era just hanging out or going nuts in the game room. God I miss it sometimes. then again theres some parts best left in the past.
@@clayton_rose Someone called Yerino commented with timestamps naming some of the characters at then if that helpsm also the one eyed green guys are from Star Control, thas who I recognized
the best reason to use characters for something like this imo. 2000s person: "hey! you used in this! that's so cool! I love that character!" 2000s artist: "thanks! I like them too! they're one of my favs!" 2020s person: "why'd you put in this?" 2000s artist: "oh I just really like them and wanted to draw them in something like this." 2020s person: "there's no deeper reason? it seems weird that they'd be doing this." 2000s artist: "I know, right? I think it's fun to do that!" the 2000s were simply a time of pure joy and freedom on the internet.
Basically the best video to summarize internet culture in the early 2000s. I really miss how it focused on just being "fun" and creating new things, but the internet is a lot more judgmental and toxic nowadays. No matter the quality, or if it was "cringey", creators would just create. To me, this video is a reminder of that, and hopefully other artists can feel the same way to create the creative and fun online spaces we once had.
I think nowadays the toxicity holds a lot more merit just because of this new wave of people who especially care about the vocal minority of people who start shit.
As an artist I’m sorry to say the internet’s become basically inhospitable for even the best of us now, what with art theft and people on twitter hunting you down if you so much as don’t know how to draw a person right. But there are a lot of people who are clinging on like me, so maybe that will change with time.
I circle back to this every few years and it's always as good as when I watched it the first time. The animation holds up, the idea is fun, and the song still slaps.
I sadly wasn't old enough to truly appreciate this era of the internet, but evey time I see a relic of that era like this, I feel like a bit of me is in that 2005-2008 era.
I so happy that I knew most of the characters. This was the era where everyone was including their OC with another already well known character. The original stories and comics everyone wrote were so fun, everything was so interesting and never boring, cus you just knew someone will upload something new. Today is a bit boring because of lack of imagination and creativity.
Lack of imagination and creativity? Undertale would like to have a word, hell there's so many things the problem isn't lack of creativity, the problem is copyright abuse and the fact that AAA gaming has been completely parasitized and ruined by billionaires that are destroying the world. Indie games are exploding in popularity and quality + quantity. There's only a bright future ahead for the world, we just need to seize it and we can do that by helping each other and fighting back against the evil that is the profit driven infinite growth market!

Something about this just being a bunch of characters from all across media simply dancing is very cute to me. Like the creator was simply having a good time putting all the things they liked.
13 years later and I still love this to death. The animation was fun the characters felt special and it was so well done for it's time. Even now. I totally got nostalgic and cried a little watching this again xD
I'm almost crying to see how a simple animation video has made such wonderful memories for many people around the world... Makes me believe the world can be a a wonderful place.
@@ZomBeeDabadee exactly. but that feeling very quickly turns sour when for people who never got to grow up on animations like this. at least for me, theres a certain feeling of guilt i feel knowing this animation has been around since i was a kid but i never got to grow up with it and look fondly on.
This song is what my 6 year old self at 2 am would dance to in my room, all night, every night. Its a nice heartwarming memories for me. Now I started listening to it, and its making me happy and calm. I have Anxiety, I still don't know if its high or low or mid. So I'm always scared and thinking of every negative things, also causing possible depression. This makes me calm and at ease.
It took me 10 years to realize this... 10 years to realize that the old guy, the blonde kid, and the guy with glasses at the start of the video were actually Old Solid Snake, Otacon, and Sunny from Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. I feel like a total idiot for not realizing it sooner.
I sure i feel like crying when i watch this, i saw this back in grade school it was amazing, rewatching it now shows how much life has changed, since im about to enter highschool
Saw this for the first time today, it's just so cute and wholesome. The creator's favorite little guys and presumably some OCs just enjoying DDR. And it's quite well done too!!
i see so many people being nostalgic and wishing for this era of just having fun and being creative and i'm like. why not keep this energy going ourselves? ouo fuck it, we could reanimate this vid with our own favorite characters and ocs, art skill be damned!
Almost 13 years... That's amazing I remember finding this and being absolutely in love with it to the point where I tried to learn how to do the steps in certain parts of the video, and I would have this playing on full blast while dancing. It was amazing and the animation is great, even now
Now having played MGS2 and 3, Raiden and Solidus' section is hysterical, and The Joy (The Boss) and The Sorrow is heartwarming and their being together and doing random stuff like this my new headcanon for what they are doing in the afterlife lol.
if anyone comes across this animation and thinks the style looks very familiar to a certain artist, that would be because its zarla-s and they are on deviantart and as a matter of fact still very much active
@@flora4402 True, I myself know them for their Handplates comics. I don't think they do much animation, not anymore at least. Been a while since i last checked up on their page, but regardless they are still active in their creativity and art
Seeing this video after so many years makes me genuinely happy, i love the earlier content. Its so nostalgic to see something i saw so long ago again, and it will never fail to put a smile on my face.
Story time. When i was in the second grade, i watched this video literally EVERY SINGLE DAY with my best friend on our first generation iPads, facetiming each other and having my friend play it on his computer. For the mini class talent show, i did a “dance” to this song (which was really just me jumping around for three minutes straight) and i guess the point here is that i’m kinda grown up (ish, i’m still a teen) now, but this video still holds a place in my heart. Even though my friend’s since moved away, i’m gonna go see him thus summer and hopefully we can dance around to this. Thanks for posting this video. It means a lot to my childhood.
This just reminded me what crazy stuff my best friend and I did. Though she moved away too we're still chatting a lot haha. Thx for reminding me of that
I listened to this for a thousand times probably. I saved this to a playlist ,I did put on at background every time I play videogames, as it made it more fun. Especially Left 4 Dead Your story is better. Still, damn good song
ngl this'd be a cool reanimated collaborative project, getting people to do their own Stamp on the Ground scenes with their favourite characters and ocs
honestly, i never watched this as a kid. but, as someone that appreciates zarla a lot, it's really nice seeing how this video was the childhood of many. it makes me happy to see how people have so many nostalgic thoughts about it
I never watched it when I was younger either, but for some reason it brings me nostalgia too and the weird part is that I'm only a few months older than this video and that is just insane for me to think about.
My older sister said this was her favorite video when she was 12. (She's now an adult, I'm a teen.) She's obsessed with Metal Gear Solid, which is why I clicked on this. I can't escape it. This animation has gone the full circle. 😭
I watched this video 10 years ago, with awe. I remembered it 10 years on, still with awe, and more appreciation for animation. Thank you kind animator.

I first saw this 6 years ago and this is still one of the best animations I've seen in my life. Shame it's their only video. I'm sure that a lot of people would love to see more.
The creator is Zarla!! They've made many more wonderful animation and art pieces, and were a big part of the DA silent hill community (and also others, I mainly know em for their sh and jthm stuff) along with others like Xarity (who has sadly vanished from the internet). Zarla has another animation similar to this one called "Move Your Dead Bones" and its pretty good too :)
It's so gratifying to recognize more and more of these characters as I grow older. This era of Newgrounds was before my time but it's still so heartening to see fanworks like these and know I'm not alone in loving them.
Back when Flash was a thing and TH-cam was fun. 13 years and still going. This is one of those videos that will never get old. I find myself coming back to this every now and then
I remember me and my girlfriend loved this when we were like 14. At first I only knew the Ace Attorney characters, and actually recognized the creator cause I read their comics and fanfic. Over the years I’ve recognized so many more characters though. Makes me happy.
First saw it as a little kid and thought it was crazy insane and how fun it looked, now I've become an adult I know a lot of the characters and this is still crazy. This is still an art piece in my heart and I think about it all the time :]
This video was super progressive for it's time and I think that's the best thing about this video. It didn't matter of the charater's sexuality, race or gender, it was just a bunch of people having fun and playing some DDR
I miss those days, I remember watching amv’s all the time and binging animation memes. Now it’s just a bunch of soft mfs who get offended over everything and being super icky.
@@AwesomeYena That actually never happen back then. The worse I remember was the T slur. But the F and R slur generally look down as something not to be used often.
This song gave me flashbacks of an old friend we used to play this song every day I miss him and also this was the song that we danced too it was so awesome I miss this
God, I remember watching this for the first time as child no older than 4, I'm 18 now and fighting tears from nostalgia. Very happy to see that some of those old TH-cam videos are still around
I miss that old anime-ish style of early flash animations..
It’s simple yet satisfying.
I want it to be. My style!!!!
Ah yes, true
th-cam.com/video/1bZtCt_Siro/w-d-xo.html
I think I may have been greatly influenced by this style.
@@squidge5460 zarla still animates like this!

“OMG they killed Kenny!”
“You bastard!”

Oh my god, yes. There are so many videos I want to do that for.
This style of flash was so unbelievably common back in 2005-2008. It's so weird how it just fizzled out, but then again, it's amazing how the quality of home made animations by amateur artists has improved so much.
Honestly it’s a blessing seeing a animation like this now a days
This made me so happy
Frr
Because flash is kill, bro.
I miss the flash era it put strange amounts of inspiration in people
then again I feel this kind of video do still exist but people usually do it in "animatic" form rather than put in the effort to actually colour and animate the whole thing
I’m 25 and this just absolutely screams “YOUTH” to me. Listening to this makes me feel so happy that I can’t even explain it.

Fun fact that I remember: the raver dog around 1:39 is a tribute to the creator's pet who passed away shortly before the video was created.

me too bro, i was the weird kid and i loved this song, but i didnt listened to it from this vid, the thing that makes it nostalgic is the song
Rewatching this video simultaneously brought me back to my youth and made me feel old as heck...
coming on ten years now. Who else feels old?
Hah me (even though I was little)
I remeber this song when I was 6, now I'm 16..

Nah dude, it's oldly fresh!
Billy: Dad, can you show me what music was like when you were a kid?
Me: *starts to tear up* Well son, back in 2009...
implying you would ever have kids

Why after 14 years did this appear on my fyp 😂❤❤ it would be a crime if I didn't watch it, still a bop in 2024
mate i love having songs from my childhood popping up 14 years later in my feed, i needed something with good memories
I sure i feel like crying when i watch this, i saw this back in grade school it was amazing, rewatching it now shows how much life has changed, since im about to enter highschool
Duuude it's my sophomore year and it really felt like time just vanished honestly
As one of the first videos I watched It feels like it's been the blink of an eye from when I first got introduced to TH-cam all those years ago
Awesome song, cute video, whimsy characters; what’s not to like? ☺️
Dude that was my elementary years! It’s so cool!
How's the video now that you are nearing graduation!
this masterpiece is now 13 years old. no theme, no complication, no tweening, just someone's favorite characters absolutely vibing.
Would be 13 if it’s December now 😂
@@mysryuza it was created in 2009
The theme is having fun to a good song.
whats the problem with tweening?
@@hanthemaa it's a lazy way to make animations to most people I guess.
This will NEVER get old. 14 years later, and I'm back again. XD
Saw this for the first time today, it's just so cute and wholesome. The creator's favorite little guys and presumably some OCs just enjoying DDR. And it's quite well done too!!
I'm seriously offended on how this was 11 years ago yet it only has 200,000 likes
Not only you
Fucking *what*
The same people keep rewatching it, atleast, I am, and you can't like more than once

HAHAHAH THATS ME TOO LMAOOOO
Damnit I was about to comment this lmao
14 years later and I still come back to this video for nostalgia and a refresh.
i see so many people being nostalgic and wishing for this era of just having fun and being creative and i'm like. why not keep this energy going ourselves? ouo fuck it, we could reanimate this vid with our own favorite characters and ocs, art skill be damned!
In my headcanon, the person who did this became a very successful animator at an animation studio and is living their dream
while not completely true. she did grow to make the most popular undertale comic (still being made too) handplates
@@JustADoodle00 THE CREATOR OF HANDPLATES MADE THIS? gah dayyum
I knew that art style looked familiar
@@JustADoodle00 who is it?
@@Web720 the artist is called zarla on deviantart
Almost 13 years...
That's amazing
I remember finding this and being absolutely in love with it to the point where I tried to learn how to do the steps in certain parts of the video, and I would have this playing on full blast while dancing.
It was amazing and the animation is great, even now
Holy shit SAME I spent 2 months looking for this and I quit and I just found it rn
SAMEEE DUDE, MY LIL HEART LOV3D THIS VIDEO SO MUCH
Ok boomer
Me too
@@MasterAlpha1000 no one likes you
Now having played MGS2 and 3, Raiden and Solidus' section is hysterical, and The Joy (The Boss) and The Sorrow is heartwarming and their being together and doing random stuff like this my new headcanon for what they are doing in the afterlife lol.
It’s so cool watching all the characters and see their personalities shine through as they play the game! ❤
if anyone comes across this animation and thinks the style looks very familiar to a certain artist, that would be because its zarla-s and they are on deviantart and as a matter of fact still very much active
But I don't think I've ever seen the artist before outside of this animation?
@@flora4402 True, I myself know them for their Handplates comics. I don't think they do much animation, not anymore at least. Been a while since i last checked up on their page, but regardless they are still active in their creativity and art
What’s their username on da?
@@Biveyy try searching up zarla-s
They did a very popular ace attorney animation i remember. Jambalayo or something?
still in awe of how many characters Zarla has drawn and animated with very distinct personalities here
What are some of them don’t know a few of them
Anyone watching in 2024?
Yup
Yes
Yees
Yes
Yes
Seeing this video after so many years makes me genuinely happy, i love the earlier content. Its so nostalgic to see something i saw so long ago again, and it will never fail to put a smile on my face.
Story time.
When i was in the second grade, i watched this video literally EVERY SINGLE DAY with my best friend on our first generation iPads, facetiming each other and having my friend play it on his computer. For the mini class talent show, i did a “dance” to this song (which was really just me jumping around for three minutes straight) and i guess the point here is that i’m kinda grown up (ish, i’m still a teen) now, but this video still holds a place in my heart. Even though my friend’s since moved away, i’m gonna go see him thus summer and hopefully we can dance around to this. Thanks for posting this video. It means a lot to my childhood.
This just reminded me what crazy stuff my best friend and I did. Though she moved away too we're still chatting a lot haha. Thx for reminding me of that
I listened to this for a thousand times probably. I saved this to a playlist ,I did put on at background every time I play videogames, as it made it more fun. Especially Left 4 Dead
Your story is better.
Still, damn good song
Just found my comment from 2011.
Jesus. It all feels so recently, but it's been 10 years. I need to get in touch with my friends from back then
That’s so sweet
The first time I ever watched this video was when was when it was 4 years old
I like how it’s *new* after 9 years.
10 now!
@@thejokingeevee4881 No still 9

Yup, its 2019
And this was uploaded in 2010,
Am I correct?
@@vero1862 But it was made in December 2009.

Close?
Anyone in 2024
Yo 07 baby
I keep coming back
Came here after 10 years and its still fucking fire. Wishing the best to everybody who still remembers it
ngl this'd be a cool reanimated collaborative project, getting people to do their own Stamp on the Ground scenes with their favourite characters and ocs
I'd absolutely love that, it would be fun to watch!
Fun idea!
I hope one day this gets re-animated like the ultimate showdown
It would ruin it sir the animation is what makes this so good
Well we won’t know until we try it
Also references like newer fandoms like the backrooms fnaf and etc*
@@spider5405 but try to keep a lot of its old roots. That's one one of the reasons this is so timeless.
@@SeerOfTheWest alright
14 years later, and I’m still jumping all around to this vide☝️😭
Omg 14 years
honestly, i never watched this as a kid. but, as someone that appreciates zarla a lot, it's really nice seeing how this video was the childhood of many. it makes me happy to see how people have so many nostalgic thoughts about it
I never watched it when I was younger either, but for some reason it brings me nostalgia too and the weird part is that I'm only a few months older than this video and that is just insane for me to think about.
I watched it as a kid, and I'm genuinely delighted people are discovering it now! It just means you're one of today's lucky ten thousand!
I didn’t grow up with it either, but it feels like something I would have enjoyed as a child
@@CeeBeeW19Same here, except im like a year older
friend: "Infinity war is the most ambitious crossover ever"

Aiden Ocelot most definitely
UP GRADE no upgrade required
I like this guy
Universe Of Random I don't know what to say
Universe Of Random honestly I have no idea
My older sister said this was her favorite video when she was 12. (She's now an adult, I'm a teen.) She's obsessed with Metal Gear Solid, which is why I clicked on this. I can't escape it. This animation has gone the full circle. 😭
I watched this video 10 years ago, with awe.
I remembered it 10 years on, still with awe, and more appreciation for animation.
Thank you kind animator.

This video: *ten years ago*
Title: *new*
Me remembering when I first saw this: *old*
havent seen this in years, just found my old youtube bookmark folder. man, its been a hell of a ride.
2024 anybody here
This is a piece of internet history
Yeah❤
Yeah!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hell to the yeah, we be up in here in 2024!!
I first saw this 6 years ago and this is still one of the best animations I've seen in my life. Shame it's their only video. I'm sure that a lot of people would love to see more.
There is another video made by the same animator: th-cam.com/video/JiLbcngdDBs/w-d-xo.html 😉
The description of the video shows where they got it from. The actual creator appears to go by Zarla
The creator is Zarla!! They've made many more wonderful animation and art pieces, and were a big part of the DA silent hill community (and also others, I mainly know em for their sh and jthm stuff) along with others like Xarity (who has sadly vanished from the internet). Zarla has another animation similar to this one called "Move Your Dead Bones" and its pretty good too :)
The artist is Zarla from DeviantArt

It's so gratifying to recognize more and more of these characters as I grow older. This era of Newgrounds was before my time but it's still so heartening to see fanworks like these and know I'm not alone in loving them.
You know its a good video when it has a clickable intro for the miniature, thanks for this unforgettable piece of the 2010 bro :) ;)
I love that the creator of this also is still active
Back when Flash was a thing and TH-cam was fun. 13 years and still going. This is one of those videos that will never get old. I find myself coming back to this every now and then
I absolutely loved the two men and child at the beginning and end, they were adorable
bethany mowforth Old snake otacon and sunny ;)
bethany mowforth I agree with you
bethany mowforth I though one was a girl
bethany mowforth I think the one dancing is female
SuperSwaggin yeah sunny is a girl
Realizing that the family at the beginning are Snake, Otacon, and Sunny after coming back after playing the Metal Gear games is really gratifying.
Ah yes... Hello childhood... I miss you
I remember me and my girlfriend loved this when we were like 14. At first I only knew the Ace Attorney characters, and actually recognized the creator cause I read their comics and fanfic. Over the years I’ve recognized so many more characters though. Makes me happy.
How old r u now
20
It's your name a reference to Matt Engarde? Or it's unrelated? :P
It is, yeah :)
I love this too but I'm a total lesbian
First saw it as a little kid and thought it was crazy insane and how fun it looked, now I've become an adult I know a lot of the characters and this is still crazy. This is still an art piece in my heart and I think about it all the time :]
2009 was 13 years ago. The Internet as a whole was such a different place back then.
Wasn't expecting this to come my way, but MAN was that a nostalgia trip I didn't know I needed rn
I love the fact that I came back here after years and I know most of these characters
This is one of the videos I liked the day I got a TH-cam account back in 2013, truly a classic
Favorite thing about this? That deviantartist is still active, making new, wonderful content.
Also, nostalgic effect.
What is their devian art??
it's in the description
This is actually from Newgrounds, it’s an ancient artifact
This is actually 9 years old...
Seeing characters that were a big part of my childhood and I still adore to this day makes me so happy 🥹
I swear everytime I come back to watch this every year, the characters change, not all of them, just some, but that can't be but it's really cool
Been going through a nostalgia trip and came across this hidden gem, man I feel so old now, loved this so much
Yea i just refound it too
Same here
same here. i was 14 years old back then now i'm 26 like wtf. time flies... sadly
same
This video was super progressive for it's time and I think that's the best thing about this video. It didn't matter of the charater's sexuality, race or gender, it was just a bunch of people having fun and playing some DDR
Idk how you got that from this video
Also the other comment like this started a war in the reply so watch out

back when youtube was mainly AMV's and the comments weren't as toxic. Miss the simpler times man.
I miss those days, I remember watching amv’s all the time and binging animation memes. Now it’s just a bunch of soft mfs who get offended over everything and being super icky.
@@NotSogi yeah in one comment one guy put out his opinion and then got bullied by 4 people
People would call you slurs back then
@@AwesomeYena Never seen that personally. Also, people weren't as soft as they are now. They were able to laugh off rude idiots on the internet.
@@AwesomeYena That actually never happen back then. The worse I remember was the T slur. But the F and R slur generally look down as something not to be used often.
Nostalgic. It gives me a feeling of nostalgia for a community I wasn’t apart of but it’s clearly geared towards.
this video just randomly comes back to our lives every year and i love it
I loved it when music animations were like this. Anyone else?
Same
Yea Same

Ja!

Still a gem, all these years later.

This song gave me flashbacks of an old friend we used to play this song every day I miss him and also this was the song that we danced too it was so awesome I miss this
Nice
Aww... Floor is floor
Ill be your bestfriend i wanna have 200's vibez all over again 😭
God, I remember watching this for the first time as child no older than 4, I'm 18 now and fighting tears from nostalgia. Very happy to see that some of those old TH-cam videos are still around
4+12=16?
I don't think there will ever be a time where I don't watch this when it shows up in my feed
I remember listening to this song when I was in high school. Now I’m 21. Time flies.
