Wonderful 🧡🧡
YES
HERE BEFORE IT GETS POPULAR!1!1!!
First
I should stop but
Third
I think this is the best and most clear display we've had so far of each stick figure's respective play styles. Green, being the best builder, is the only one to use blocks offensively (slime blocks), and prefers to fight with a fishing rod. Blue of course is a master of potions and almost always fights with a bow or crossbow. Red (my fave) has a strong connection with mobs and is the only one to uses spawn eggs as an advantage, plus prefers using a sword. TSC doesn't stand out in any particular field but he's decent at everything and uses the shield and fireworks a lot. And lastly there's Yellow who built the course using knowledge of redstone and coding.
I also love how none of these traits appeared immediately. We do see hints of them from the very first Animator vs. Minecraft, but it's amazing how we got to see each character figuring out their expertise. Like we saw Blue trying to figure out how a brewing stand works, or yellow first learning how to operate a command block. Their developments are awesome.
TSC firework flight also mimics TCO's own perfered flight technique, both using hand jets and moving in very similar ways
TSC is basically a jack of all trades
For me the TSC is the best in "PvP"
@@d73w80chance or coincidence?
i feel like TSC is a pvp kinda guy
In a way, I was really hoping Red would come out on Top here.
You can see just how aggressive he is in this race (despite not fighting the most. That goes between TSC and Green) that his straight forward competitive side really flourishes. He is arguably the first to think of every minute way to gain just that extra little bit of speed. He is the "Work harder, not smarter" arguable variant of the group. This has caused him so many losses in the past. From the pedaling with the Minecarts -to actively trying to swim in the water - using the rowboat on ice - and slowing the others down with chicken spawning eggs. And of course using his animals. His skills rarely get to flourish and put him ahead of the others in many of their competitions. It always seems like he tries the hardest yet his fruits never truly pay off. Despite it all just being for fun between them. In a way I kind of hope he gets a real golden moment to shine where he gets his payoff in the future for all this hard work. I am not expecting anything super grand - but a nice definitive solid win he can claim as his own between them.
its good that im not the only who note that red always think first how go faster and the rest copy him
i totally thought red won
red was the only one actually trying to get to the finish line while the others were just trying to get each other behind them
You're right.
And he was the first one who tried to attack The Dark Lord when he beat TSC, but he knew (i guess) that they don't stand a chance.
it kinda looks like red did win. if you slow it down frame by frame, you see that red was touching the line before the other three.
i like the detail of how involved Yellow has gotten with these. in the first coaster, he just sorta built it and let it run, but here he's more active with how the track runs and making sure it's smooth for the rest of the crew to race in. good stuff.
Having access to a command block staff helps too.
And he tried to make everyone happy by making everyone first place
yo digo segundo y no el primer lugar :V
love how blue, like any good racer, chose to make his strategy drug abuse
Hahahaha😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
bro eat nether mushroom, soup mushroom and even potion (Imagine you drank real potion)
The reason why I loved this competition episode the most out of the other contests is because we actually see everyone's greatest strengths here all put together.
TSC's resourcefulness and natural ability to create new mechanics (catapult from TNT plus shield) or use solutions from a hindrance (using the chicken trap to get ahead in the air)
Green's absolute ego made him wild with a mixture of parkour, going on the offence and doing whatever can be done to slow down the others. A lot of his moves were skill based.
Blue kept things at a distance. Being the more patient one of the group, the way he used mainly long distance attacks and waited out to attack multiple of his friends at once (i.e the first TNT thrown) was just epic (plus I think he was laughing after that was thrown). Then when that didn't work, he used drugs.
And finally, this made me happy the most. We got to see Red being smart here. He was literally the first out of the group to keep finding ways to get a lil faster. And that chicken trap was *chef's kiss* Usually Red acts like the childish one of the group, tantrum and playfulness alike. But here, we saw what happens when a child gets pushed too far and yearns to win. Like when he was pelting Blue with snowballs, like come on. Plus we got some of his animal knowledge to help too.
Even all of their tantrums at the end reflected their behaviour. Red, being the childish one, threw his trophy first and near Yellow while comparing himself to the rest of the group on how he's better. Green, having an ego to match his cool skills, threw his away the most powerfully with a whole "WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?" SC is in complete disbelief since his competitiveness matches Green and the fighting nature from being a second version of The Chosen One is made apparent. Then Blue, as he's the most patient and empathetic, is the last to throw his away as he's trying to process what Yellow just said despite all his "efforts" (drugs) to stay ahead
Only Alan Becker and his team can make an episode that literally makes me write a long ass essay despite me being on holidays. 😭
This much info can be driven out of *Stick Figures*
That's how you know you've created a masterpiece.
go outside
@@cliffworsfold1994 How did you know there's a fun fair? :0
ah yes,
*DRUGS*
Usually a short like this wouldn’t have music, but I’m so glad it was here to enhance it so much. Also, I’m glad that the “everyone’s a winner” solution was still met with annoyance by everyone.
“Yellow has recognized everyone’s victory.”
“Nobody liked that.”
no participation trophies today
Scott Buckley did an amazing job
If everyone won, then no one did 🤷♂️
@@Horlem exactly
I love how Yellow built the race in a way that encourages creativity!
TSC: Superman
Green: Spiderman
Red: Antman
Yellow: Iron Man
Blue: Dr Strange
I do think the rest of the ones are right but if feel like yellow would be witch and red would be like Cinderella with all the animals lol 😂
@@zanerthegamer4747 Wouldn't blue be the witch because of all that brewing? And I definitely agree on the Cinderella one. I thought iron man would be good for yellow as tony stark is the smart guy when it comes to tech and stuff and Antman was the closest marvel/dc character I could think related to animals at the time.
@@animesurferking After a lot of googling, the guy you're thinking of is Animal Man. Super old character, but he works.
How about orange?
@@animesurferking OH YEAH my bad I meant blue 😂
Can we just take a moment to apreciate Yellow for the huge amount of work he put into designing this race?
Edit: Thank you everyone for... A LOT of likes. I apologize if this kind of comment is kind of unoriginal but I really didn't expect it to blow up, I kinda expected maybe 100 or 200 likes at most with this, not the HUGE amount that it is at... I really appreciate it
@@DontReadMyProfilePicture.0 then don't comment 🤡
Yellow's pog.
@Don't Read My Profile Picture Too late, I already read it
Makes sense since Yellow’s the engineer of the group… but damn dude put in a LOT of work
fax
I like how this race shows each of their personalities In Minecraft since the rediscovery in how they raced.
The second coming: He’s a more standard Minecraft player who uses more basic ideas with some creative ones like the firework with the chicken he was strapped against to fly and it shows his warrior side with being the main one to use a sword.
Red: He’s an animal Stickman so he uses them in order to help like with the horse, chicken, or bee.
Green: He’s a builder and loves his fishing rod so he uses stuff like slime which most builders use in order to save himself as well bounce ahead and he uses his fishing rod to swing ahead and grab the others.
Blue: He’s a farmer and potions Stickman so he uses potion of swiftness in order to zoom past the others.
Yellow: Even though he didn’t race he still designed the track using minecarts which references the rollercoaster he made plus how he’s the one who uses the command staff.
Yellow being the Redstone engineer
@@AmicaSecret yes!
Plus Green is a music lover, during the Raid when he got sent to the music world, he developed the ability to sing
Yellow: Meet the Engineer
@@nightsedge24 *More Gun is played by Yellow on note blocks* Yellow: Hey look buddy, I'm an engineer. That means I solve problems. *arrow impacts* Not problems like what is beauty, because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. *two more arrows hit next to his head* Yellow: I solve practical problems. *rapid fire dispenser kills Blue off-screen* For instance, how am I gonna stop some big mean mother-hubbard from tearing me a structurally superfluous new behind? The answer: use a bow, and if that don't work, use more bow. *tnt cannon blows up Red off-screen* Red: MY AAAARRRMMMM!!!!! Yellow: Like this, heavy caliber, cobble mounted little ol' number, designed by me, built by me. And you best hope..... *glares at camera* not pointed at you. *camera zooms out, seeing the other stick figures getting massacred and respawning multiple times around Yellow. Electric guitar music plays via note blocks slowly replacing More Gun, then note block TF2 end flourish plays as well.*
"Guys calm down! You're all winners!"
" *I DONT CARE WHO'S THE WINNER I CARE WHO'S THE LOSER* "
*"SOMEONE HERE HAS TO LOSE, AND IT WON'T BE ME!"*
This and “The Chef” are like those series when after the main show is over, they do a lighter secondary show with no overlaying plots.
Aand then you hit Lucky Block Staff and it goes right back to high stakes.
The Prank
I have never heard of a series that does that
Yeah season 2 was like that, he usually has a big plot line and after that he has a “break season” where its like filler
It’s really cool to watch the four of them use different aspects of Minecraft to keep up with each other, like Red’s knowledge of mobs, or Green’s red stone and overall knowledge of obscure mechanics (such as fishing rod minecarts). It’s great to watch each one use their skills, either if against each other or togeather.
Blue: …….. ROCKETS AND DRUGS!
Blue: i like plants
The things he used the plants for: Hi i make you go faster
Red... That's animal CRUELTY!!! Let's make 'em PAY.
Green's red stone? I'm pretty sure it was yellow.
@@daniellaizekemoe1967 Yeah yellow is redstone/technical stuff of the like. Green has
music as part of their stuff so I guess they do have redstone knowledge as well.
I love the transformation of this relationship.
They all started out as courteous friends who care about each other's well beings to being bitter rivalry brothers. So wholesome.
Only in competitive situations tho
IS THAT A DMC REFERENCE???
I guess not
Not really, they are still good friends that care about each other's well beings. They are hypercompetitive, however.
I guess it’s like a Mario and Luigi situation.
Mario and Luigi are brothers and they care about each other a lot.
But when it comes to competitive games, Mario and Luigi are rivals, fighting each other in order to win. The fact they’re brothers no longer matters when they’re competing.
The same thing happens here. The stickmen are still good friends and care about each other, but this is a race, the only thing that matters to them is winning
With Alan Becker, you know it's always going to be a masterpiece of an episode or a short.
This is what minecarts should’ve been. They had so much potential for cool stuff, and then they killed it. Glad your saying “ fine, I’ll do it myself”
Can we just appreciate that blue basically ran almost half of the entire track
🔵SPEEED🔵
Gas, gas, gas I'm gonna step on the gas.
No
Bro became usain bolt
Bro became sonic
I like how from a point foreward they simply completely disregard the "minecart" part of the race
Orange does try to bring it back for like half a second at the end until he's kicked out lol
Lol
I have to agree, I mean, from that point it's just chaos
you JUST noticed that? lol.
Ey I’m not complaining
6:01 Blue was Like: Gotta go Fast
Он уже побежал ! Или скорее : Я супер Hero
This is one of the rare videos that has so much replay value because of the amount of details that can easily be missed the first time you watched it, like in 1:22, while Green and TSC fell into carts, Red spawns a cart for him to fall on, how Red _caught an arrow with their hand_ in 3:00, or how the collapsed bridge created a lava splash in 6:15. It was an awesome trip every time the replay button is clicked.
Another notable detail around 1:22 is that when they land, they all injure themselves, and in the scene after the zoom in on Blue, you can see them rubbing their respective wounds.
I love how now that they have the staff, Yellow's potential for engineering knows no bounds
Second comeing win I see
@@pakistanfacilitiesmanageme2435 How does this even correlate to the comment?
Anyways I think he’ll be able to make very neat stuff with the King’s staff. Maybe automatons like the one from Build Battle
yo someone should make a command block staff mod for minecraft
just imagine what it can do
i know unless story possibilities so cool
@@solidturtle6910it would be possible but it wouldn’t give the same effect (the commands would take too long)
I love how everyone used their respective areas of expertise to their advantage.
Orange/TSC, as a sort of Jack-of-all-trades, used items that were applicable in many areas: fireworks for speed boosts, TNT, and a shield to bounce off TNT explosions. Notably, TSC uses fireworks for flight in a manner reminiscent of The Chosen One’s Iron Man-esque method of flight. His main method of offense was mostly swordfighting.
Green, meanwhile, used items to match specific situations and terrains, like his fishing rod grapple, slime blocks, and Riptide Trident. Also used TNT very offensively.
Blue had a few big tricks up his sleeve, mainly that TNT at the beginning and those -performance-enhancing drugs- *speed potions* near the end. He also used fireworks offensively. Overall went for big boosts.
Red was pretty innovative, thinking of new solutions on the fly. Kind of like what Green did, but more on the fly. Also used animals both for movement and for offense.
And then there’s Yellow, who designed the whole course, likely with the help of the command block, fitting his engineer-ness.

I want to live in the timeline where all of these different combinations and interactions with/between mechanics are stuff you can actually do in minecraft.
I love how the second Yellow tries to do something nice by letting them all win, they immediately turn all their frustrations onto him. It’s amazing how much personality you convey through these stick figures.
"you all win!"

Leashing players to a chicken as a means to *slow them down* is honestly quite genius, I know everyone here did really well but I think Red stood out the most. Amazing work as always
He did
To be honest whenever there was similar technics like using a shovel at the start or using the boat during rhe ice part, red was the first to take initiative
@@The.EmeraldKing exactly, Red was the most creative, stood out the most imo
@@HoIingly
Your right blue took drugs!
But D A M N green was smart, too! He used the trident, aka, the useless item, and used it to his advantage! Red was smart using a shovel! He also used snowballs for some reason, but green did 209 iq move when he used the fishing rod! Edit: Oh wow I finally got likes on an Alan Becker video :)
@@reneemazurkiewicz5350The snowball trick was the only one that made no sense to me. When you think about it, it just gave Red uncecessary drag, and the snowballs that were hitting Blue almost definitely didn't compensate.
Even if it is ANOTHER Minecart episode, the creativity shown off in these still never ceases to amaze me, even six years later.
These are literal masterpieces of animation and storytelling. I wish Minecraft could actually be played like this.
I like how even when Yellow went the extra mile to give them all gold podiums and trophies, they were so aggressively competitive that they just tossed them aside and were like "NO, I WON! ONLY ME!" A pretty refreshing twist on the "Everyone wins because we had fun" trope.
Just like in the Building Contests.
and also they tied at the frame which is funny
It’s like money if we have a lot then it’s worth less

@@lifeiscats1337 not everyone knows the crew behind the animations, if they even knew they existed
@@displaynametheguy thats a good point
@@displaynametheguy well they shouldn’t assume that Alan just makes all of these by himself. Did you even see the previous short?
@@DEIKO19 are you like his alt for something bc that’s not a good point at all
so true
I love their sibling/friendship rivalry with each other, with instances of them "hurting" one another but not actually hurting anyone.
Ex: As soon as someone falls, they'd rather run/jump around them then just flat out run them over 😭 4:44 Plus they actually get worried: 1:52
SC and Green are so eldest and 2nd eldest coded. I love how competitive they all are and it’s chill having friends you can go all out against without any serious bitterness.
Real talk, their found family dynamic is definitely…
SC: Eldest
Green: 2nd eldest
Yellow: Middle child
Blue: 2nd youngest
Red: Youngest
I like that red seemed to be the first every time to just try the simplest thing everyone else copies. First to use shovel to propel the cart, first to try swimming when they were under water, and first to pull out the boat next to the river. I like to imagine he’s the most impulsive and most down to earth.
Plush, he won the race (with the others) just by passing through the ending line by himself while the others used something to speed up like TSC used a fireworks.
He's certainly quick to adapt, always paying attention to his surroundings.
Just like nature, he adapts through instinct and blind impulse.
@@Happy_girlbff1 He probably ran out of spawn eggs.
I like the subtle nod that TSC is much more comfortable flying than everyone else, and basically defaults to it whenever he needs speed.
Must be a nod to TCO.
Edit:
TSC is Orange, and it stands for The Second Coming.
TCO is The Chosen One.
TCO can fly by lighting his arms on fire and using the flames for propulsion.
In the brief moment TSC had access to his powers, he flew similarly. Unfortunately for him, he passed out and forgot he had powers, and nobody but TCO saw him use his powers.
In this video, TSC uses TNT knockback and Fireworks the most out of everyone, even using the fireworks similarly to how TCO flies. He doesn't even bother using them in a crossbow to attack, instead preferring to throw them... kinda like how TCO throws his fireballs!
Just... brilliant.
Who's TCO? I haven't watched enough of Alan's animations to know who that is 😅

Que fue por donde todo empezó... Ahí se nos presentan personajes como TCO (The Chosen One) o como TDL (The Dark Lord)... Tambien nos muestran el origen de los palos protagonistas
Animación vs Minecraft
Donde conocemos a Morado y al Rey Naranja... Esta ha sido su historia mas desarrollada hasta ahora... se nos han demostrado mas a fondo las habilidades y personalidades de los personajes
... TIENES QUE VERLO!!!! NO SABES DE LO QUE TE PIERDES
On the one hand, this was complete pandemonium. On the other hand, Alan had to map all of this out...
Is this video order or chaos?! I genuinely can't tell!! And I love it!!
I love how this evolves from a Minecart race to a "Gotta sabotage my competitors in any way possible in order to win" race.
I like how TSC finds a way to turn a weakness into an advantage most of the time. Like how he used a TNT to launch himself in the water and how he used the chicken as a way for flight, rather than a slowing method like red intended to.
Also It's hilarious how they copy eachothers' ideas when they see how it benefits their rivals, lmao
Una vez

Haven’t seen anyone say this yet, but let’s give it up for Scott Buckley’s score on this episode and the entirety of season 3! A lot of the scenes were written so intensely and sometimes were very emotional, and Scott’s compositions perfectly encapsulates them and even brings them to a higher level of epicness.
I didn't know THE Scott Buckley made the music! That's so cool!
By the way, which song was used in this one ? It was OP
Yeah, this was by Scott
Cheers to Scott
@@saphartlantis589 bro is the og
Somehow those stickmen are so cute yet talented and strong at the same time ❤
I find it incredible that the series won't end at episode 30...I just hope they continue with this series :)
The fact that he managed to show them using all their knowledge of Minecraft they gathered over the years in this race video is incredible.
indeed
Yes😊
and it was a perfect tie
it’s kinda symbolic, because even though they all have different skills, they have the same amount of knowledge
Ikr?
I love how Alan gave all the stick figures something different they excel at instead of just giving all the cool abilities and powers to TSC. So many shows on TV give the main character broken abilities and tools and ignore the other characters.
This was why I didn't like the competition episode when Green somehow magically built a robot better than Yellow, personally. Redstone is Yellow's thing!
@@DJFlare84 I read on the Wiki that green is actually the most intelligent one though
Green a dj, yellow a professor, blue a drugs, and red a pets
@@jtteope1178and TSC is like main character
That robot didn't run on redstone, it ran on animation magic
Edit: How do you create those minecraft backgrounds?? They look like they’re halfway between 3D and 2D lol
5:55 seeing Green bounce off the slimeblock and then Blue do a superhero landing and freaking *lauch* themself like that was awesomely funny
Also the visual of them all racing together at the end using their skills was incredible (and I could not stop laughing at the way Blue was running XD)
So nice to know that the minecraft shorts are back since season 3
seeing Green once again using the ultimate fishing rod technique is a delight
I always love when they use fishing rod as grappling hook.
The strange thing about it is that Fishing rods are legitimately used for pvp
@@syndere6755 only during Beta 1.8 - Release 1.8
Red:Unexpected moves that mostly involve animals.
Green:Skilled show-off moves that usually involve a fishing rod somehow.
TSC:Smart moves that usually involve either being in the air or just genuinely having the upper hand.
Blue: *drugs*
Blue is highly addicted to it.
Red also notably cares for the animals such as trying to avoid letting them get hit.
LOL THAT'S ACTUALLY TRUE
So are the Minecraft potions are actually drugs.
@@magmathekiller6216 blue was taking PEDs! should be ineligable for the gold armor stand smh
So red is obviously the animal handler, blue's the potion master, yellow is the Redstone champ while green uses unorthodox techniques with Tsc being the most well rounded for all of them.
Gotta say, the animation was incredible! This channel has come a long way since those first days of Animator vs Animation!
I love how through the entire race, all the stick figures are using their own strengths throughout.
Red is using animals to speed up to his advantage.
Blue is using range and potions to get an advantage.
Orange is being really creative.
And Green is just kind of balling.

Ooo bhai ye panda mahan hai
You can tell that the animators are absolutely having fun while animating this episode
Animator*
Alan has a team of animators.
@@commentcentral6532 *Animators
@@commentcentral6532 You have so not been paying attention. It's these things called "credits." While this episode may lack them due to a sponsorship/plug, if you stayed to the end of previous videos you'd know.
Yeah, the ammount of clever use of mechanics, taking the time to know the stickman and use their traits to make solutions to be faster.
It's just amazing
Something that will always amaze me is your ability to write and animate an action sequence of MULTIPLE characters simultaneously. It's already hard enough making an impressive 1v1. You constantly have team battles or battle royals and it's crazy to make it consistent with all the unique attacks and movements each of these characters are pulling off.
Yeah, Alan Becker's choreography skills are insane and there are so many neat interactions and creative attacks you can see when you watch the video again. A few I noticed:
- 2:46 Red using the minecarts TSC knocked off the track while attacking Green to get to the front, then Green stealing TSC's minecart, kicking it at TSC's new minecart, which knocks Blue out of their minecart and lets Red take it, and then grabbing one of the minecarts for themself with the fishing rod
- 3:05 TSC using their sword to jam the wheels on Green's minecart
- 6:20 Blue using the slime blocks Green threw to get to the front and throwing Green at Red, which Red has to dodge
- 6:29 The chicken that Red uses to float down stays with them, and when Green grapples onto Red's bee, Red uses the chicken to block Green's sight, then tosses the flower to distract the bee and spawns another bee to ride
- 6:47 Blue managing to clutch at the very end with critical shots on all three of the other stick figures
Yeah
even better imo is they have their own identities too that stays consistent they have unique attacks and movements all the time but it still feels on point for each of their characters
It helps when you have a whole team of animators helping to move production along
@@thassalantekreskel5742 true but that still requires an amount of skill and effort from each member it doesn't make it any less impressive
i like how they would fight to death just to win and would also break their friendship 😂😂
6:16 Let’s have a moment To commemorate the horse That Was sacrificed in order to make this master piece R.I.P 💀🪦
I would have loved to see TSC whip out a Minecart at the end, sit in it, and scoot across the finish line to qualify for the win because it is a _Minecart_ race. Outsmarting the others who didn’t pack nearly as many carts in their inventory before hand.
The video was action packed, and it was exciting to see the guys using the skills they've aquired throughout the series.
The music was top notch in setting the mood of the race and I enjoyed the variety of obstacles they had to face. Props to yellow for putting the effort to make this for his friends.
Spoiler
Their reactions in the end to the 4 way tie are hilarious when yellow ops to try to appease everyone by giving them all a first place... which then backfires when they all just get angrier instead.
Thanks for the video Alan, as well as your animation and sound team. Can't wait for the next one. :)
it's not just him
@@captainsprinkles6557 fixed it. :)
Loved the ending as well. It's not enough to succeed, others must fail!
Wouldn't really make sense since some sections literally require you to abandon your minecart
Yeah, pulling a Lightning McQueen
Absolutely hilarious how everyone else's strategy for speed is relatively practical, whether it's using fireworks, fast animals, blocks that can give you a boost like slime or TNT... and then Blue just gets iced out of his mind on swiftness potions. A true drug addict.
Blue is literally 🏃
Blue had a need for speed
Everyone had their strengths. And for Blue, he's all about potions. He DID go through literal hell and almost a black hole just for some nether wart, so it's not outlandish to say he's addicted.
Blue: THE POWER OF NETHER WART PROPELS ME!
blue's having his A-train moment
5:59 I love the way blue us jyst like...
DRUGS.......💀💀
Every few videos Alan makes that is the greatest fight scene I’ve ever seen in my life
I think it’s so cool to see how Green always uses a fishing rod in literally everything. If only Minecraft actually had that.
Lets be honest, they are literally breaking the game all the time
@@F.Freddy_8Dso you’re saying you can’t attach leads to chicken eggs and then throw them at people to lead them to the chicken?
@@teglasdenis3089yea but not the way it’s used in the animations
You can hook players, mobs, boats, armour stands, minecarts, and even items in 1.20. At least they kept the fishing rod.
@@teglasdenis3089yea but swinging?
Two things stood out to me in particular:
1. The choreography is stellar. Having scenes with 4 combatants play out as smoothly as this is a feat in and of itself.
2. The music is awesome drawing even form classical motives, like the William Tell Overture Finale from Rossini. Truly amazing.
Scott Buckley too goated in the studio
the ending really is "it's not enough for me to succeed, others must fail"
4:54 the toy stoty reference 😮🥲
Not only is the animation fantastic, but the techniques and range or preparation shown from each speaks volumes about their personality
not only that, but the entire set is fucking amazing
@@main7168who is this "Amazing" person?
Yeah you can see how green is attached to his fishing rod 😂
@@ZBREAD. he said entire set
@@kairos9391 Yeah, Entire Set... Is doing Amazing?
i find it hilarious that blue managed to reach his peak performance not in a fight, not in some kind of life-or-death scenario, but in a friendly race that escalated quickly
He's the god of drug, my favorite.
@@monst3r54 Agreed
Right now just based off of this i think blue is like the 3rd or 2nd strongest
The Alan Becker team is gonna put Disney out of business
Honestly Mojang should start taking notes because rn minecarts just feel like something to use when you're feeling too lazy to hold w
I love how in every competition they have no qualms with beating the ever loving shit out of each other, but still remain best friends when it's all over.
Peak friendship!
It's just an average friendship of boys
Well, they all do come from a stickfigure fighting each other flash anim.
And it's not like they can actually die. Even when deleted, they just end up back at their flash game.
The fact that their inventory always appears when they select a new item is absolutely stunning
No reply?
@@JJean64No reply?

Stickfigures : *mines into alans pc*
Alan : ok which one of you guys mined into my pc just to have fun
I liked how Blue used speed potions
How the strategies each one uses encapsulates their personalities perfectly is amazing.
Spectacular job, Alan and the team!
si
Red uses animals
Blue uses archery and potions
@@keithharrissuwignjo2460 I mean he was able to make those potions back at the witch fight
I like these episodes. No lore, no villain, just the boys having fun
Edit: I know how cringey this is but this blew up
And battling to win
@@Derpy_Crow and hating yellow at the end
Yeeeeaa
And hating ties LMAO
@@SirJ-qq3yeit's ALWAYS yellow
Did you guys notice that TSC and green win with their head while red and blue win with their hand...
Everything about this is so good, each one having there own strengths to win the race. Green using more tatical approaches with slimes tridents and basic 1v1 combat got him in the lead most of the time. Orange using anything and everything to his advantage while even being in the disadvantage. Blue while mostly using techniques he saw on the spot still had his power play of performance enhancing drugs to go god speed. And my personal favorite red who relied on his animals to help him gain speed but to also slow the others down. Great race and poor yellow who didn't know what to do at the end with the 4 way tie
Orange with the explosives, Blue with the potions, Red with the spawn eggs and Green with the fishing rod.
Quite the race, it was also cool to see them improvise ideas. Red's snowballs, Orange's TNT boost, Green's slime blocks and more.
Alan is good at displaying competiton between stick figures without the use of voices or mouth movement. His animation says it all.
Frrr the music itself adds the flavour and enjoyment too
@@-Pollux- also he didn't make the music
his animation DOESNT "say" it all, technically 🤣
It's so cool that all the things they used they use in the first and second season
I love how in this video, Red is the living definition of *"Work smarter, not harder."*
I love the coreography in this video, it really puts it into perspective how each character uses their own method to win the race:
Yellow: Designed the Race, Hosts it and Hands out the Prizes, The Challenger.
Red: Utilizes Minecraft's Mobs to succeed, The Audacious One. (Takes opportunities beforehand when he sees them.)
Blue: Utilizes Chemistry to enhance himself, The Observant One. (Waits for his opponents's "moves", to counter them)
Green: Utilizes Equipment to enhance himself, The Prepared One. (Doesn't slack around and is always ready to keep his ground.)
The Second Coming/Orange: Utilizes Combat to take the lead, The Creative One. (Innovates his surroundings to win.)
Nice analysis, I agree
Yellow is clearly loving the command staff - this race looks like stuff he could only dream of making
Remember the first race? It was already quite elaborate and Yellow made it with his bare hands. The command staff greatly boosted the efficiency.
Wonder if something will happened to yellow....
I love how Yellow built it in a way that the only way to complete it is to be creative and find work around to things. It shows he really understands his friends.
Also going pixel by pixel blue made contact with the wool before anyone did
I love how angry they are at the "Everyone wins!" thing. xD
I love that the ending wasn't like stereotypical friend groups, where they're all happy to have 1st place, they're actually upset that Yellow would even think to do such a thing, so realistic and hilarious. Such an amazing animation
Their methods of gaining the advantage are both so clever and hilarious. Gotta say that Green performed the best in the whole game.
I agree, the fishing rod Spiderman thing was so fun!
the other 3 kinda had their gimmicks for the race but green was absolutely a wildcard and i love that for him
One of the smartest move goes to Red with his leash plus chicken combo
@@randwelvillegas4649 I still hold my opinion on green, but i 100% agree with red having the smartest move, that being the chickens.
@@randwelvillegas4649 I'm with you, for me red was the most creative and green killed his horse :c
This episode gave me sugar rush, I felt like a kid again.
So this race was really successful! 🤣
I love how Alan has the ability to create each short better than the last one.
Nah this is extremely good but nowhere near The King. Nothing tops the season three finale (at least not yet)
@@supremegrimmy wait until the season 4 finale
@@uncanaldejuegos7056 I dont think season 4 will be better, because its will be just like season 2
@@thedanfire9984 true
We need to appreciate the work Alan and his team puts in his videos. Just ONE episode can take over 2-4 months
Alan AND HIS TEAM, give them credit too

@@ysccl oh yeah I think I should edit it in thanks
It takes so long, yet WORTH THE WAIT
It's better to wait an entire year then stay dead because of a deadline
Honestly I'm surprised that alan becker's pc hasn't ran out of storage after these many builds in his pc lol
I was half expecting yellow to disqualify all of them because they didn’t finish the race in a minecart 😂

@Don't Read My Profile Picture bro sthu
I love the little detail of green, the musically gifted of the group, having his signature clarinet sneak in with each jump off the track. A pleasant call back to the musical short.
!! This made me appreciate the music more snd tried looking if the others have theirnown dedicated instrument
I didn't even notice until it was pointed out, but looking back, it's a pretty awesome detail
Where ??
@@toyuki6367 I noticed it most on the part where TSC and Green take the top route, and whenever Green jumps to another platform, you can hear the clarinets
Yes
This episode is probably the least watched out of all AVM, and it deserves way more. It's a nice callback to the original episodes, and it shows hom much the animation, story telling, and even characters of all the stickmen evolved
If you get reaally technical with this, going frame by frame and counting pixels, it looks like Red's hand is touching the finish line first (his hand is also stagnant for a couple frames until TSC's face gets closer) , followed by TSC's face. Third is split between Green and Blue though.
I love how Alan can take such a simple concept of stick figures in a Minecraft minecart race and make it the most epic thing ever, props to him and the animators, this is crazy.
