DKC: Curse of the Crystal Coconut - Animated Short

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ก.ย. 2021
  • This year may have been Donkey Kong’s 40th birthday, but what a lot of people don’t know is that this wasn’t his only milestone, as this month marks the 25th anniversary of his glorious tv show. Exactly 25 year ago, the powers of antiquated motion capture technology, Canadian tax dollars, and the audacity of the French, joined forces to create the greatest show in the history of television, and I’ve teamed up with Bootleg Dubs and Napalm Records to produce this celebratory anniversary short!
    This short was made possible with the help of a lot of talented people:

It’s so lively and I love the liberties taken with the designs, especially the funny monkees.

    Good lord, how long did this take to make?! It is so incredibly high quality that I assumed it was officially Nintendo endorsed… then realized it was an Alestorm song.
    The animation quality is out of this world. It’s like a big budget music video with so much care put into it- I couldn’t tell whether it was 2D or 3D. That is a testament to how well this is made!
    The beautiful charm of the DK characters being honored and made manifest with the goofy but tense gags and atmosphere.
    This is honestly one of the best things I’ve seen in two decades of watching TH-cam. I never even checked the length of the video with how invested I was with this!

    As a rare Unironic Donkey Kong Country Show Liker and Alestorm Nerd, this is the best thing I've seen all week. Nay, all YEAR. All DECADE, even!
    When I was a confused teenager I got a little figure of Skurvy and he's meant a lot to me as a good luck charm. As a character he represents the fun, campy villain pirate aesthetic I love so much. So to see his iconic song covered by one of my favourite bands was absolutely mind-blowing, and now this just made it even better!
    The animation and character designs here are stunning, the style is so, so good, I'm living for all the character cameos (rip Bluster) and everything just had me smiling like a dork. I'm just overflowing with good emotions right now. This is like something I had in my head for ages but not the skill to make it - and you just went and made it. Flawless, absolutely flawless. Thanks so much for realizing a lil dream I had for so long and keep up the great work!

    LYRICS
    Lyrics
    Arr, when I was a young lad, my father said to me
    "Arr, lend an ear and learn some pirate history
    Once a fearsome pirate ruled the seven seas
    He was your great-great-great-grand-pappy, Quint Skurvy"
    He told me tall tales of his ill-begotten gains
    But the greatest treasure of them all
    Still haunts me to this day
    I'll make you swab the deck
    And then I'll throw you in the brig
    I swear I'll make you walk the plank
    To right the wrong you did
    The day you mess with Skurvy, arr
    You'll wish you were never born
    When the coconut is mine
    Then you'll feel this pirate's scorn
    He hid it in an idol where it stayed for many years
    But the eye of Inka Dinka Doo did shed the crystal tear
    It laid upon the ground until, much to my surprise
    A stupid ape just wandered by and snatched my treasured prize
    He discovered it possessed extraordinary power
    And stealing it from Skurvy would be his darkest hour
    I'll make you swab the deck
    And then I'll throw you in the brig
    I swear I'll make you walk the plank
    To right the wrong you did
    The day you mess with Skurvy, arr
    You'll wish you were never born
    When the coconut is mine
    Then you'll feel this pirate's scorn
    Alright then crew
    Let's show these filthy landlubbers what we're made of
    Are ya ready? Let 'er rip!
    I'll make you swab the deck
    And then I'll throw you in the brig
    I swear I'll make you walk the plank
    To right the wrong you did
    The day you mess with Skurvy, arr
    You'll wish you were never born
    When the coconut is mine
    Then you'll feel this pirate's scorn
    When the coconut is mine

    My only complaint is that the vocals are a wee bit soft compared to the music.
    It's the only reason this is a 99% because... wow. This is absolutely incredible

      Alestorm is a little too high pitched to match the original Skurvy, but I’m getting used to it. It’s more of an artistic license than anything.

    Everything about this is amazing: The animation, the sound the effects, the proper use of the song. I think the best thing about it is that this could easily be canon to the show, since Skurvy showed himself to be the most competent villain on the show at times.
