Pikmin is a real-time strategy and puzzle video game series published by Nintendo. The games focus on directing a horde of plant-like creatures called Pikmin in order to collect items by destroying obstacles, avoiding hazards and fighting fauna that are hazardous to both the player character and the Pikmin.

"This loathsome creature is in fact a parasitic form of Pikmin that has infected a bulborb. Unlike Pikmin that nest in Pikmin Onions, this parasitic relative spends its life inside the body of a host, usually a bulborb. Juveniles fall in line and mimic the actions of their parent until maturing to full independence. By burying its rootlike limbs into the nervous system of the host bulborb and infusing it with natural hormonal excretions, the bulbmin is able to control virtually all of the host's bodily functions. However, the host's voracious appetite seems impossible to suppress." - Captain Olimar - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
I’m never going to leave my Bulbmin again
become the new Sage Leaf
Just throw them into candypop bud, or enter the cave with 100 pikmin
Me too
Unfortunately, you don’t have a choice, buddy
@@Phantom_ink64turn them into regular pikmin dummy
There’s a reason for why they’re left behind in the Piklopedia, the Bubmin has complete control of the Bulborb’s body… except it’s ravenous appetite. Olimar and Louie leave them behind so they don’t have to risk their Pikmin getting cannibalised in a sense.
One of the short comics released for Pikmin 4 has this happen to an unfortunate yellow.
One thing I really like about the wording of the entry too, is that it specified that it can't definitively, meaning, if it could, it would.
Which comic was it?
@@Draginator It was one of the more recent ones released in Japan, but Olimar finds a bulbmin and has it join the group, only for the last panel have it in the process of eating a yellow Pikmin much to Olimar’s horror.
@@smashers6971 I'd love to get directed to this comic!
I've been following those comics and haven't seen the bulbmin appear yet can you link it?
If Nintendo have their own National Geographic Channel-styled documentary, this and PokeEarth are the closest we can get.
This honestly looks like an official cutscene I would see on the next Nintendo console. Very impressive!
This was so sad when the bulbmin were left alone in the cave
This is one reason from why the bulbmin is my (2nd) favorite creature in pikmin
It’s very sad when they don’t have our leader when bulbmins are left behind and without there leader they don’t know what to do without there leader
But it is very happy when bulbmins have the adult bulbmins with them

1:37 an absolute reference of that one picture of a Pikmin parasite inside bulbmin’s body
Yeah
Know that Parasiticus Pikminicus can go in a rock or in ice to become a Rock Pikmin or an Ice Pikmin.
Not really. Parasites like this work by controlling the brain via hormones. Rock and ice have neither
or could it convergent evolution perhap?
instead of a parasite that moves up the foodchain per se, more along what we see- an organism thats learned to literally take over niches, so i guess its not that insanely out there one of the parasite-min got a hold of a juvinille crushblatt or the big boss bug with its shell coated in crystal, point being maybe it horizontally picked up the genes instead of sorta "cannibalize" its own species
love that idea though, on the off chance its not a bulborb or something but another pikmin thats outside of the "rock papers scissors" so any abilities they once had can now help the parasite-min itself
oh that would make sense! I always wondered about that!
@@thequietyounglink6060it’s canon, too. It’s stated outright in 4, if you read Olimar’s descriptions
“Wow. Nature is unforgiving.” -Alph
This was beautiful! Also I love how you put the detail how the pupil expands so the bulborb’s eye has no blue.
It was great fun to voice your awesome documentary 😄
The finished animation is brilliant. I'm really glad that people are enjoying it 😊
Thanks! Your impression is second to none!
Truly a fitting username! And a fitting voice for the documentary style as well.
@@wawe5557 Super kind. Thank you 😃
it's enough to make a bulb man cry, and that's ok
Wooden Turtle: "Hey. Wanna see how hard I can make you cry?"
Wooden Turtle: *Shows how sad Bulbmin are when you leave them behind*
AUWWWUUUGHHHGHHHGHHHH NOOOOOOOOOO
I’ve always been very curious as to what the actual parasite Pikmin look like. I really love your depiction of them, I kind of always imagined them to resemble nerves/ a nervous system
thank you for hiring a real human to do the voiceover, so many people resort to AI these days and its always refreshing to see someone who still has the respect for the craft and the ethics required not to use the Big Pollution Machine. keep up the good work this video made me tear up a bit
It was a fun job to work on 😃
Yeah even if we sidestep the ethical issues of AI it’s on track to cause an energy crisis. Not good ™️
@@WarmVoicewait you did?
@@Luigi_bros4321 Yep 🙃
This is INCREDIBLE!!! The set design/backgrounds are something that I've noticed that you've REALLY been popping off with in these recently, I love seeing your representation of the Pikmin world so much. I'd love to see more Distant Planet documentaries in the future! Always looking forwards to your animations!
2:37 with all the baby bulbmin bouncing happily is too cute
3:47 *Select All*
[ *Casually drags them up* ]
The Pikmin returned to their home planet
I absolutely love the juvenile bulbmin in this. Their expressions are absolutely adorable. It makes me wish they came back and Nintendo didn't give them the short end of the stick
Keep making toons. Dude!!!👍
I ADORE how organically you made the caverns blend in with the natural landscape. It makes them feel so much more like a real part of the world and so much less game-mechanicy and I really really adore this choice
get this man a job at Illumination to work on an official Pikmin movie. Imagine what a Pikmin movie with a whole team could look like if this is just one person animating.
This was Amazing, Also there is a reason why a take the time to turn all my Bulbmin into Pikmin everytime I found a Candybub in a cave.
The animation on this is BEAUTIFUL! I always get so excited when you've uploaded. Thank you for making this!
this is just better nat geo, thank you for this
This guy's animations never get old. The Documentary FITS SO WELL WITH PIKMIN.
Ok, now I just want a Pikmin nature series.
I never realised how much I wanted to see the caves and the various sublevels within reimagined into a single continuous ecology until now.
An extremely subtle detail, but I absolutely love it.
The fact the parasitic pikmin look like those bean pikmin is a great touch, and the animation, of course, was super well done!
What a beautiful animation, it felt so peaceful and relaxing seeing the bulbmins and pikmin play together 🥺
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Bulbmin the wise?
This is amazing! I think it’s your best one yet.
The animation in this video is amazing! Especially little details make this a good interpretation of the bulbmin’s life cycle.
The David Attenborough voice is the perfect touch 👌🏻
Man the rendering in this is incredible. That shot with the Mamuta was so ridiculously pretty!
As usual you continue to amaze me. Easily the best Pikmin content online. If the subreddit demonstrated even a fraction of the passion and quality that you put into these videos, it would be a very different place. Thank you for doing what you do with my favorite game series. ❤
If only Nintendo could replicate such an alive and active world in the actual Pikmin games, rather than only having enemies waiting to be killed off...
That voice definitely sounds like David Attenborough. Lovely video, beautiful animation.
Thank you 😃
That was horrifying and beautiful. I am stunned by how accurate this documentary was to real life bulbmin.
The Pikmin Documentary series was something i didn't know I desperately needed.
We need this guy to make the future pikmin games
The video almost made me cry at the end, it's very sad.
I won't be able to see the bulbmin the same way again when I leave the cave.
Mini theory: Bulbmin are extinct after 2 because every time Olimar encountered them he either transformed them into other types or they were eaten by a non-bulborb.
Ive always wanted more pikmin short movies - now we have them.
Oh my gosh Bulbmin really are horrifying! Imagine Wooden Turtle with the budget of the actual Nintendo short animations from the Wii U era. Your stuff is great man! :)
i'd love a documentary on water dumples, they look so goofy and stupid, which makes me love them more
What a surprise to see the video I was wondering when it would release to do so in my birthday! What a coincidence.
Honestly, the Bulbmin are a cool yet terrifying concept on how a parasite can take over another lifeform and do its bidding and either remain like it or go for another host. And then you add how probably they do have emotions like the rest of the 'regular' Pikmin and being left behind gets to them (which also might be both the parasite and the host). A shame they did not return in Pikmin 4 but I hope they get another chance, specially after seeing concept art of I believe Pikmin 3 which goes to show they were considered.
The video's style of animation has lots of improvements no matter the time that passes or the subject, Wooden Turtle. Props on the content. I liked the documentary style ala National Geographic.
I always transform my bulbmin into other pikmin before i skedaddle from caves
Great anamation and I like how you tied all of the biology together
this is fucking incredible, i dont think ive ever seen something like this thats THIS detailed for any other fandom
That was great animation, it felt really cozy to watch. Especialy the environnement was really good.
This is absolutely gorgeous. Cannot describe how much I love this.
This is seriously so good, beautiful environments and everything. Plus I love the David Attenborough voice!!
Amazing animation. Loved how the environments and voice were done!
The animation. The voice. The music choice. It's all perfect. Incredible work
Huh.
I WANT MORE OF THIS!
Make a Bulborb Documentary.
Amazing work as always!
Wowee!
Usually TH-camrs like these don't heart my comments!
Thanks, Wooden Turtle!
I adore this video so much!!! The documentary-esque theming fits so well! I honestly would love to watch like an hour-long video of that narrator observing the various creatures and plants in the Pikmin universe. And the fuzzy Mamuta 😭❤
Excellent job on the video, my friend! Thank you for all your hard work!!!
Just wow. It's certainly been said already but I can't agree more. Your work is gorgeous, thank you so much :)
This is Triple A quality animation. Every shot and camera movement is so perfectly crafted… Nintendo needs to hire you if they haven’t already!

3:27 Black King: HELP ME MY ROOKS HELP ME
Oh it's sweet Bulbmin... Again.
God'f, this wonderful a story Bulbmin life's.
Esto es cine caballeros 🥲.
¡Muy buen video!.
Nintendo debería hacer canon este documental y la trilogía de Cooking with Louie.
Oh man, I miss these guys. I loved them so much lol
This is probably the most detailed Pikmin video I've ever seen! Now I want a full documentary of all of PNF-404! :D
Now I understand why they are Bulbmin. :D
Great animation and lore.
Bulbmin will always be my favorite
Love this animation
The Documentary approach is really creative
Fantastic work! Pikmin fans are the best and most creative.
Oooo! I really appreciate the world building about the caves and areas, I could 100% see that being in the actual games. Honestly it would help make 2’s caves more memorable!
This is awesome, well done!
This looks ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL
Thank you so much for making these animations, they always feel like their an official part of the franchise!!
Much love from Luxembourg
The environment of the winter land and the frontier cavern looks beautiful! I really love it! The lighting and scenery is amazing
The British voice over is great
Oh my gosh that was amazing! Even with the focus on the bulbmins everything felt so alive with the atmosphere of the cave and the creatures.
So well animated wow
This is so creepy, but it's the good kind of creepy
I love this video, but i would love more it if the bulbmin went through the step of being in fear when their leader is killed to represent that torture and sadness they endure
Absolutely PHENOMENAL work!
Thanks! Most of the models are from the games but I made the parasitic Pikmin model and the Bulbmin were editing bulborb models
I believe once when promoting Pikmin, Miyamoto speculated that the Pikmin may actually be the villains of the story. And it certainly feels like that now.
Captains are an invasive species that have unbalanced the natural ecosystem of PNF-404, allowing Pikmin numbers to grow rapidly and destroying other life forms in their wake.
Oh my goodness! David Attenborough!? This is perfect. I love this documentary and David will always be, if not, the best narrator ever.
this is astounding. you should make a patreon, I'd support it. I would love to see more of these and want to support future endeavors.
This is so so so cool, maybe my favorite Pikmin video of yours yet. It fits the universe of the games so well. They would ABSOLUTELY have wildlife documentaries. Just fantastic
Finally the First pikmin doku
THIS IS SO SAD BUT INCREDIBLE YOU ARE EXTREMELY TALENTED
My god this animation is so beautifully sweet & explains what bulbmin are very well :)!!
I didn't think it was possible for me to love bulbmin any more ❤❤❤
Switch 2 footage just dropped
You’re so skilled, love these videos they look so good. Also killer David Attenborough impression.
I love this animation so much. I wish that in the next Pikmin game, we actually get the parasite Pikmin so we can get the Bulbmin again.
This fits the sadness of leaving bulbmin back in the cavern that I could never hope to express. Good job
This is absolutely gorgeous! You should definitely make more documentary style animations
This art is really impressive the bulbmin are so cute
This is amazing. The animation is stellar (I've tried to do some 3d animation with blender and that takes FOREVER, just rigging hurts my brain). You should be happy with what you have made.
God I miss these little fellas. Left alone in caves to starve, were the only ones not given any respect in Pikmin 4... But, maybe, maybe in 12 years, we'll see our little bulby friends.
That was amazing we need more in universe documentaries like this
I’m curious to what a volatile dweevil documentary would be like
That’s why you always canopy flower your bulbmin.
Bulbmin=bestmin
This has to be the Pikmin Movie
Well now I just feel bad 😭
This really hit my nostalgia for Pikmin 2. Very cool narration. Thanks
