- 'Told Through Vines' returns! Being one of my favourite books, I had no choice but to put my own spin on this classic science-fiction novel by H.G Wells. Hope you enjoy!
Also, do yourselves a favor and go listen to the "War of the Worlds" 1978 musical album by Jeff Wayne. The Martian Apocalypse has never sounded so groovy.
Again, a big thank you to Overly Sarcastic Productions, who were a huge a source of inspiration to me for this series, and especially Red, who's Twitter shoutout has been the highlight of my year so far.
Also, shoutout to Max, who's Vine knowlege and insightful proofreading (proofwatching?) I am incredibly grateful for.
And of course, thanks to ALL OF YOU! Now, I probably just got lucky with the algorithm, but man, I never imagined my 'Frankenstein - Told Through Vines' would get the traction it did. I love reading all your funny and encouraging comments, especially in these weird times we're all living in. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
As for the next 'Told Through Vines' well, I won't reveal what it's gonna be just yet ... but as a clue, I WILL say that there's also a musical adaptation of it, so make of that what you will, hehe.
Until next time!

Again, here are the original roughs for the project, if you wanna see them:

I suddenly feel more connected to H.G Wells then I ever have before
Yes…
The backgrounds? The happy twist ending?? The martians screaming saxophone music??? Absolutely stunning! I am amazed. Kudos to you as always!
Aaah, thank you kindly!
BROOoOoWwww!
крлщеглсч!!!
This is by far the most accurate adaptation because the Heatray is actually an invisible ray of light.
Radical Larry Ah! I see you are a man of culture as well!
Basically, a what a magnifying glass is to ants...
I just love how even though I never read this book everything is so easy to understand and generates contagious laughter, plus every single frame looks great, aND I NEED A 10 HOUR VERSION OF THOSE ALIENS TOUCHING KNEES OMG THIS WAS THE BEST-
Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it!
Ah yes, the real reason the Martians got sick: they didn't respect social distancing. TOUCHE KNEES - GET DISEASED
@@vvarx No probs! Damn, that would perfectly work as a prevention spot, especially during those days 8')
It's weird how much information you can convey with vines
MagnetoDorito Haha, I try my best!
I recommend reading the novel.
The victory screech and "CAPTAIN, LOOK!" parts sent my sides flying.
I’ve never understood a literary classic so thoroughly. Thank you.
I haven't even read this book but literally every single one of these clips got a good laugh out of me :")
this just adds another book to my growing list of books i need to read
(You really don't need to read it it's pretty terrible but that's just my opinion.)
@@zygoclast6047 (I think it works great as a radio drama and might be a good audio book but that's because the whole thing is written in an extremely matter of fact, detached way that to me lacks the colour and life required for the events to have weight.)
@@eoincampbell1584 Ok....? I think it's one of the books ever.
Trust me, it is really great book.
@@eoincampbell1584 A bit rude, I think the book is excellent and many others would agree too. The first couple chapters are so atmospheric I love them, and the Earth Under the Martians part is amazing imo
Canned soup!
Also, it’s great that the excerpts are more clearly displayed.
Thanks! That was a comment I had gotten a few times on the other one, so I decided to make them more visible - glad to know the result is appreciated!
1:18 cracks me up for some reason
Because it's objectively hilarious
Aloo! Aloo! Aloo!
DUR
I might end up reading the book just because of this video, this is fantastic and I need the context 😂
Ooh, please do! It's a personal favourite of mine.
My history teacher put the war og the worlds on, and all I could think of were like, half of these vines.
Movie or album?
Probably the movie
Which movie is the question
@@Orangethemartianhe said OG so probably the 1953 one?
@@Fideothedog2021 probsly
Still more accurate adaptation than the majority of adaptations.
Jeff Wayne would like a word...
@@IronCityHero1998 he said the MAJORITY. Jeff Wayne’s adaptation is by far the best
POV: thunderchild in thebl 05 movie: nope
It has been so long since I read the books, but I still remember these moments. The fifth container impact killed me, and I loved the aliens
Thank you! And same - I still remember reading the scene with the tentacle for the first time years ago, and to this day, it STILL freaks me out.
Martian Octopus 🐙
Why did you make the aliens cute? The victory screech and the touching knees killed me.
Martians
the martians are shockingly cute.... the "dont shake hands/touch knees"? Stunning!
Cute, but full of sass, haha! Thank you!
Big slobs of octopuses, we are
i love the idea of tripod horns being saxophone music loud enough to rupture organs
Could you do one of these for To Kill A Mockingbird or The Portrait of Dorian Gray? I didn’t read this book but I watched it so that the algorithm would help you out lol.
After I read To Kill a Mockingbird in high school, my English teacher put on the movie
When we got to the climax, the video began to lag.
Well lag makes it sound like it stopped and played normally
It would stop, then go super fast.
I think the audio was playing normally so the visuals had to play catch up?
I can’t remember what the audio was doing during this.
Either way, it was freaking hilarious.
I think the fact the playback broke during the most instead scene is what made it funny.
All the effort that was put into the scene was ruined.
And now whenever I think of To Kill a Mockingbird I think of that moment and giggle
Which one did you watch, there are so many movies
My step-dad, who is obsessed with literature, really likes this animation. He said was great!
Sad Android Bean Aw, that’s so kind of him to say! Let him know I really appreciate it !
This is now my favorite version of this story, nothing compares to this
*JW WOtW has left the chat.*
I fully support your future Told Through Vines endeavors you have a knack and a talent my friend Vvarx
Aw gee, thank you kindly! I'll do my best!
As a War of the Worlds fan I find this a 100% faithful retelling of the story.
aww the ending is nice
That's how the story goes
Absolutely adored this, oh gosh
I'm so freaking glad I subscribed to this channel.
This is so…yeah.
I love the Martians touching knees in order to avoid getting sick
Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds was my favourite thing to listen to while driving through the night. I could tell you exactly where I was on the highway when certain music played
That heartfelt twist ending really got me c': Thanks so much for making these, as a literature nerd they seriously make me so happy on so many levels haha. I hope you're taking care of yourself and staying healthy!
Aw, I'm glad! I've always thought the ending to the book was very sweet.
As someone who has read the book and seen the musical live and loved both
I thought this was hilarious and accurate
JDHDHDHDBFGVGVHF
I was just thinking how great it would be if your "War of the Worlds - As Told Through Vines" was up, and I was like, "Nah... that wouldn't happen."
*AND THEN I OPENED TH-cam.*
Seriously, awesome video! So hyped for whatever else you put out! ^^
(And I'll have to add War of the Worlds to my reading list now, haha!)
This is honestly amazing. The touch knees vine had me laughing so hard! Keep up the amazing work, I can’t wait to see what incredible things you make next!
cAnNeD sOuP
but seriously this is AMAZING we love you! :D
Awww, and I love you guys, haha!
I'M DECEASED, H. G. WELLS WOULD BE PROUD AND PERHAPS AWED
If you’re dead, then how did you type this?
H.G Wells is the only author that can fight alien with immune defenciency and makes it epic
Kinda fard
The intro alone was enough to make me like!
love how at 1:38 is was a callback to the tom cruise war of the worlds
I LOVE THESE SO MUCH THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE
"canned soup!" had me rolling?!!?!
I made cylinder???
"Wells' Classic Canned Soup"
this was FANTASTIC, thank you thank you more please keep em coming excellent 10/10 good work good work
All of this is wonderful, but I'm just going to take a second to appreciate you using music from the WotW musical/concept album in the transitions and such because every second of that album is a top-tier bop.
IT IS! And of course, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to add Richard Burton's epic intro monologue!
@@vvarx when did you use it I couldn't hear it
The intro
Funny thing, before I knew the existence of the musical version of the war of the worlds, I actually thought someone else actually was narrating this, or you were, Vvarx.
I've only watched the 2000's movie and I've been wanting to read the book, but now i wanna read the book even more
I don’t care that I’ve never read the book, I love it
Alternative to the tripod and alien dying:
*"OH-SOMEBODY - he need some milk!"*
Yes! Yes thank you! I love these wonderful bite size prices of art you make they bring me so much joy!!!!
XDDD The curate fits so well with the “I am disgusted, I am revolted-“ etc vine!
1:31 I am stunned at how accurate this is. That's almost literally what the curate said.
This is by far the best adaptation of the book
Victory screech! 1:17
The Martians touching knees is the best thing I have ever seen
Petition to remake the War of the Worlds movie with Saxophones instead of ominous horns.
No joke, this is legitimately the best adaptation of the novel ever made.
Man i just read the book and i got this recommended ik its an older video but it amazes me how similar the animation here is to what i imagined when reading the book!
Haha, happy to hear it! And thanks for watching!
1:49 A wild ThunderChild has appeared!!!
I lost it at the Thomas the Tank Engine vine! I actually didn't know most of these vines, keep up the great work!
this is beautiful, you are a hero that we always needed but never deserved
I know these probably take forever to make and that there is probably other content you want to make so thank you for humoring us! That being said, PLEASE make more of these!
Haha, I've already got the next one planned - don't you worry!
Huh… as someone who barely reads any literature
Seeing this, then looking at Tom Cruise's "War of the Worlds", seems… Idunno, I might just start the fire, but the movie got some things close, like going back indoor after being coated by people's ashes, hunkered down underground with the breaking down guy while seeing red weed, and the heartfelt ending
BTW that ending, it actually gets me
Anyway, Larry Niven's _Ringworld_
I have to be honest, I haven’t read that book yet, BUT now I definitely want to ! This was AMAZING !
we need a live action movie that is based off of the orginal book
I was not expecting this of war of the worlds
This was HILARIOUS and so well done xD Thank you for this!
Great once again ^.^ Looking forward to more.
I cannot tell you how awesome these videos are, especially right now! And your artstyle is adorable - love your droopy, sassy Martians xD
Aw, thanks! I love 'em too, haha!
We don’t like tea
THIS IS SO GOOD IT MAKES ME WANNA READ THE BOOK
Yes yes yes more literature shenanigans!!
I've been so hyped waiting for this! It was awesome!!!
Shoulda given the thunderchild its separate segment honestly
YES! I love the machines making the saxaphone sound. XD
Seeing this with no context confused me a lot. Coming back a few months later after burning subreddits into my eyes and branding my brain with Jeff Wayne's musical... I finally get it...
I've never clicked a notification so fast.
Dido.
I love these told through vines videos! They make my day! (Also love your art style)
I thought you would put tripods like Alvim Correa's, but this is sublime, I spent it laughing all this time xd Great work!
Truly your classic literature as vines is the greatest
men:CAPTAIN
captain:ye yeah?
men:LOOK
captain:OH GOD HOLY FUCKIN SHIT
thunder child:*appears from nothing*
tripod:help
1:24 I like this scene, the way the two fighting machines are stooping over their fallen comrade.
As someone who has read the book about 50 times, I can confirm this is basically 90% accurate.
God..
I absolutely love the way you represented the fighting machines!
I recently discovered the musical (Thanks Dead London) And I'm just.. I am Standing upright for those god diddly ding ding damn Martians! They look so cool!
Thought you humans were disgusted by our appearances
AAAAAAHH THIS IS AMAZINGGG!!! I love your animations so much!!! :D
Man, I do acting and now all I want to do is recreate Shakespeare with vines
I wish there was more of jeff wayne's iconic music in this
But regardless this is FUCKING hilarious 😂
2:42 Not the unnamed protagonist just throwing the stick at him. 😂
This BETTER get the same, or greater clout than the first vid. These are great!
And the scene where the priest starts yelling at the tripod-
"The power of Christ compels you!! The power of christ compels you!!"
Or my personal favourite
"don't f*ck with me -!
In the distance:
Wait - wait-
I have the power of God and anime by my side! AAAAAAAH!"
as someone who had to read this in my sci-fi class but just barely skimmed it to get the work done, i think watching this helped me understand the whole book better than my actual reading did
Hahaha, well happy to have been of service!
For now on I'm going to think of that saxophone tune instead of an actual siren 😂🎷😂
Truely the more terrifying of the two, no doubt about it.
I loved this so much 😭
This is suprisingly accurate
Alien attack!
*THROOOW THHHHE CHEEEEESE!!!!*
*ʸᵉᵃʰᵎ*
-This book in a nutshell
Oh man the canned soup one slayed me. Seriously, fantastic job.
Thank you! You're like the third person who's mentionned the soup bit, which is really interesting to me because it almost didn't make the cut! Glad to have kept it in, haha!
You forgot the scene where main character is in a storm and sees the tripods for the very first time
The fucking saxophone music-
Hey these are actually hillarious, keep it up!!
Great video, I'd really like to see a version of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde.
Can't wait to send this to my friend who actually has read the book
Such a good book
Omg yes WOTW content!! I didnt want this to end every choice was perfection
I love this part 2:53
still more accurate then the epix version
This is amazing 😂😂 I love it
I thoroughly loved all of this! Worth the wait for what you did to go the extra mile! ❤️I cracked up more than I should about the Harry and Ron and Thomas the Train bit jahahahaha
It just makes me want to read the book (as I, regrettably, knew of the Spielberg adaptation and a British tv series pulled it off WAY better from what I saw) and check out this musical concept album for it,,,intriguing it must sound for your to recommend it!
Aww, thanks so much! Yes, I put a lot of love into this one, since it's a personal fav. Definitely give it a read!
The album was a very cool discovery as well; it's not 100% book accurate, but as a whole, it's a very cool experience. It's driven a lot more by the book's short snippets of narration and various spanning leitmotifs, but man, the songs are just incredibly groovable ... in an eerie, apocalyptic, late 70's synth way.
