- Everybody loves Into the Spider-Verse, right? It's been talked about a lot on the internet already. But today, I wanna talk about what makes the movie feel human.

So happy to finally be back! After graduating 3 weeks ago, I'm ready to spend my gap year working on several huge new videos, from an analysis of Disney theme park techniques in Zelda: Breath of the Wild to finishing my short film, Paradoxical. Who's your favorite Spider-Verse, uh, Spider-Person? Lemme know below. If you liked the video, consider sharing with somebody who might also enjoy it!

Easily Peni Parker, I mean, look at my profile pic lol.
What a coincidence! I also just graduated three weeks ago. Keep up the great content!
awesome vid my dude, may i ask what your were studying
Spider-Man Noir is my favorite. “Wherever I go the wind follows and the wind smells like rain”
Dude I legit thought you were older than me and were mostly through college already and was like “oh neat, he graduated college, good for him” and then I saw gap year and had to scroll through your Twitter to see if you mentioned that you’d just graduated high school this messed me up
Buddy where did you find the time to make all these actually amazing videos in high school, I’m even more blown away now than I was before, even in college I don’t have the time to make any videos I’d be proud of, lol
Also Spider-Noir was the BEST ONE, all of them were amazing though, they could all easily be my favorite depending on the day. I have a real soft spot for Noir though.
What pisses me off is people who dismiss this masterpiece BECAUSE it's an animated film
My dad likes Comicbooks and Comicbookmovies but he refuses to watch this treasur because its a "Trickfilm"( German word for for an animated movie aimed at kids between 3-8(very degrading)). I told him multiple times it's okay if he doesn't want to watch it with me but he should at least stop talking it down in such a way.
Edit: Minor grammatical corrections due to being on smartphone.
idk. a lot of people I've talked to absolutely love this film. it's animated but it's still a great superhero movie.
Well I think the problem is simple
We live in a society
Mr Spectacals yeah but its cuz they WATCHED it,
Some people (idiots) refuse to even watch the trailers as they see it as an animated movie and their ‘adult’ brain deem it as childish and refuse to watch it for whatever reason
I think it's animation is excellent. I think there's very many good animated movies. But, to be honest, I just didn't like the story of Into The Spider-verse at all
If this movie is Sony's apology for the Emoji Movie, then I accept.
I think the Emoji Movie was practice. Every scene looked like the practice animations I was assigned in college (Computer Animation Major). The characters were even the simple, rounded shapes that beginners are encouraged to start with. The plot was nothing more than a series of sponsored ads with a bare minimum of "non-ad" footage. They released a full movie of practice animation and... got paid for it!
I don't.
@@thomasbelcher6921 😂😂😂
But with the topic of emojis how could it have been a GOOD movie?
No. It is Sony's attempt of an Americanized Batman Ninja movie minus the gigantic mechs and other things while being too similar. Nonetheless, I liked it a lot. Emoji movie is nowhere as shitty as Ralph Wrecked His Nuts movie from last year.
7:57, would you say that the makers went....a few extra MiLEs?
dammit, take my updoot!
69 likes.
Can't be liked anymore.
Tough, but fair.
I cant even bw mad at that pun
I love the main three characters for different reasons. Gwen's combat and overall presentation was great, her back story was short but impactful, and I want to see more of her. Peter B. Parker made me cry for the first time in years and he embodied the fears I have as a young adult starting my life: "How do I know I won't mess it up again." And Miles was also incredibly relatable, feeling like there was so much expected of him, what if what made him happy meant he didn't live up to the "Great expectations." The way he mumbled lyrics he didn't know was perfect, the expressions of him handling emotions were tough to watch, and the barrage of family member quotes in his head as he made the leap was... well I don't know how to phrase it right, but I've been there (in my own small, non-spiderman way).
Welp you put it in words
yup they really developed Gwen more in part 2
This movie is the toy story of it's time. No movie comes close to what this movie did and it's going to influence Animation and media for decades to come
I'll argue for Lego Movie but you're not wrong
@@jordansweet8054 oh that was fun too but I meant spiderverse
@@dissonanceparadiddle Okay,I agree.Great movie.

Stop saying kids movie. Animation isn’t just a “kids movie”, it’s more
Why is animation always associated with that?
@@BitchChill I honestly don't know. Look at anime or adult cartoons for a second. Some anime can be directed at kids, but most of them aren't. And adult cartoons are just that. Cartoons for adults.
i share your opinion yet i feel like he meant specifically this animation which is directed at teenagers and older kids..
Nestor Roldan sausage party
DragonGold For this to animation to have one an Oscar, it’s certainly more than meant for just older kids and teens. Even the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man references and jokes prove that. Those movies came out in the early 2000’s. Any person that would get those jokes and references wouldn’t be teens and older kids, it’d be adults and late late teens
As someone that dreams to become an animator, you have no idea how much I fell in LOVE with this movie, I screamed "IT SO PRETTY" At the top of my lungs one hundred times, THIS is what I want to create as a future animator and I want to live up to this animators, story board artist and everyone involved in this movie.
Same
Here four years later: Have you seen Across the Spiderverse? What’s your opinion?
I’ve seen Into and Across the spider verse and it makes want to be a animator
07:56 "Animators went extra mile by filming themselves..."
Animators do that often. Sure things like using every possible trick to make this master piece is appreciative. Nothing 'extra mile' about acting out the part.
... they went the extra Mile(s)
@@dragongold63 damn
@Señorita it is though. not every studio does that, but disney animators do that systematically, for instance.
What makes this movie "extra mile" is it's unique style. The good performances and genuine character arc are the solid foundation without which the extra miles means nothing,
I was so annoyed by that statement. All good artists use references, geez.
Most animated movies use references so I got annoyed when he said that like to was special.
My favorite little detail is that when a character punches something, the "pow!" or "crash!" or whatever is drawn in the style of their comic, especially with gwen
"Bagel!"
APPLESAUCE.
The onomatopoeia. It is such a staple in comic books.
BLAMMO!
@@michellegiacalone1079 That one is amazing.
The movie improved Miles as a character and inproved his origin story. Along with giving him a different personality. In the comics he was just black Peter Parker. Im glad they improved his character along with his uncle, his uncle was straight up hateful and you feel nothing when he dies in the comics.
Someone, I can't remember who, did a video explaining why spiderverse Miles is so different from comic Miles, and it's basically because Tom Holland's Peter Parker was designed using basically all of Miles surface level character traits , so rather than be accused of riffing off of Holland's performance and the MCU's interpretation (despite the fact that that Peter Parker was riffing off of comic Miles (Nothing wrong with that, you mind)), the Spiderverse team dipped down and reworked miles's character from scratch.
If only I could remember which spiderverse video it was.
@@ookazi1000 yeah I remember that video
Improved.
@@ethanstrawn6813 It's a typo ethan. They happen: be like Elsa and just let them go.
Improved. With an m
I feel it's important to note that the voice actors were given scripts, but were also encouraged to improvise and add their own little touches and flairs. Really makes the characters feel like actually people talking
16:54 Didn’t notice til now but it seems like he’s shaking his leg. Another incredible, life-like detail. This film is just insane
I love Peter B. Parker. Finally a Spider-man I can cosplay!! :) No, but really, an older, burned out, tired Spider-man was very interesting to see, and he was written brilliantly. Best reluctant mentor ever.
apparently, tom holland's peter parker and peter b parker are from the same universe. so they're basically the same person...
peter b parker is just peter parker after endgame
It was also the spiderman with the deepest voice
Wait... remember how Peter B. didn’t want kids, and was a “ reluctant mentor” to Miles? Another little touch by Sony. Sony, I accept your apology.
Really? I always thought Peter B Parker was the one from the Sam Raimi trilogy.
Noir had the best lines and he being played by Nic Cage was a perfect decision
I heard some of his lines were sexual for no reason
stariimidniight idk where you heard that but I don’t think so.
“I’m taking this cube thing with me. I don’t understand it, but I will”
“You hard boiled turtle slapper” and “Applesauce” were my favorite lines

*MINIONS ON THE SCREEN*
Don't @ him.
Well, we _know_ them.
I imagine the point was people liked Despicable Me, and the lazy safe option was Minions.
People tend to forget that despicable me 1 was really good.
Minions is the best example of this. Put in as little effort as possible and make >$1B dollars.
Spider-Gwen, she's the best.
To paraphrase CinemaWins; the imperfections of the art style make the movie feel real, it's the perfect balance of cartoony and realistic.
nice. im personally torn between spider ham and spider noir.
@Yeetus Defeetus wha...?
may I ask why?
@Yeetus Defeetus What are you on about?
@Olive What is he talking about? What are YOU talking about?!
Yeetus Defeetus nah they are different do you watch cinemawins videos? Completely different
Just a friendly reminder that Peni, in fact, has heelys (the shoes with the wheels on the bottom). Look no further than the scene in Aunt May's house where she hands the finished "Goober" to Gwen. Peni is the BEST
i remember one of the animator(?) said on twitter the reason she got heelys is because there wasnt enough time for her to walk from the back to the front so they just added heelys for her to slide accross the kitchen... which i think it is much more perfect LMAO
@@felixzcontinue311 That's even better. It gives her more charm and character. 😊
Character made by gerard way; the only reason i need
Heelys are lit
kp. Wait really?
That ending quote really finished it off so nicely.
"Stop living in the past,
Make the most of the present.
Make friends with your room-mate,
Try hard in school, even when it sucks,
Hang out with your dad,
and most importantly,
Accept the gifts and unique talents you've been given,
and take responsibility to use them to help other people."
Beautiful.
Amen❤❤
"The faces looked hand-drawn." That's because they were! The 3-D models weren't made with faces just for this purpose!
Great video, but just a small note: every movie production style animation will have their animators act out their scenes and use it as reference for the scenes they work on, it's not exclusive to Spider-Verse. We did it a lot in school for projects when we were doing action shots or lip-syncs, or even simpler scenes.
Epic
A few people have mentioned this! Interesting. I always knew it was standard practice for hand-drawn animation especially decades ago, but assumed it had gone out of style with 3D-animation. Checked out your channel, by the way; really good stuff!
@@houston-coley Thanks man! Yep it's still common, I worked in TV animation and we don't really do it there most of the time because of time constraints and the animation looks bad anyway, but movies have more time to finesse stuff.
I was going to come down here to say that! Yep!
The way you described animated naturalism reminded me a lot of old school anime, from your Miyazaki's or Takahata's. They would spent an enormous amount of time having their animated characters do little gestures of humanity to make them feel real.
Yessss. In general animation from eastern countries is far more naturalistic because their sensibilities are far less concerned with plot and more with the beauty found in mundanity and quiet moments. I love it.
It reminds me a lot of Shinkai's work! Your Name, Garden of Words, Children Who Chase Lost Voices, 5 Centimeters per Second... Simply beautiful movies
ah, someone else who can appreciate good work. although they weren't alone in that regard. most older (and some newer) anime are excellent at it. the writing tends to swing across the spectrum, but you can count on the animation team to make things seem a bit more real (although few would go as far as the likes of those two).
I've been saying it for years, animated films are NOT just for kids. And there's so much they can do that live-action movies just can't. Thank you for broadly proving my point!!
"this Peter Parker is so
depressed with a capital D that it's
more of a brave move for him to keep on living than it is for him to sacrifice himself"
_"Animated Naturalism"_
That should totally be an official term.
Favorite Spider-Man in the movie? Gonna have to go with Peter B. because of his character/story and Peni because she's cute
FBI OPEN UP
My favorite is Porker
My favorite is Anti-Nazi Spidey.
Yes
I like Peni because she's fun and animeee.
10:19 We were watching Megamind as a family a few days ago, and while I enjoy that film I actually pointed out at the end, "the city in this film feels to lifeless. Crowd scenes seem to end 30 feet away from the action, and it doesn't feel like a real place." Your explanation on making a background world feel lived in summed up what I was trying to say.
What Megamind lacks in visual background makes up for the script, jokes, and masterful story-telling tho. Just reading the word Megamind makes me want to rewatch.... again.
His explanation was bacicly just make animated movies with the same feeling as anime
@@masonlong6514 not really, that lived-in feeling isn’t only present in anime, but it’s something that a lot of animated kids movies frequently wrong. What’s important is that spider-verse defies the genre in a great way. It’s a kids movie that’s watchable for everyone because it’s so good
Excuse the language but holy shit. I’ve always loved these movie analyses but this is by far the best one I’ve seen, it has broken down every single reason that I love this movie even the ones I couldn’t explain myself. And that final quote man, just *chef’s kiss*. You have absolutely earned this sub.
i cant imagine picking a favorite character other than Miles. He is the heart and soul of the movie and everything about him is so real. His moment of triumph in the leap of faith gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.
I particularly enjoyed the portrayal of Peni Parker. The re-designing of the character was well-done, on top of the integration of the anime style into the 3D world. She was given a personality and a depth that makes me want to see more of her and the other minor characters.
Kasey Combs meh I feel like she and the black and white peter had the least to give. All she did was program the goober.
@@Peppermon22 I mean, she fixed it all up, which was kind of crucial, since that was the reason Miles and Peter B. went to steal that computer.
@@Peppermon22 Dude, compared to what Noir and Ham did, Peni was far more crucial to the plot than they were, as Noir and Ham barely contributed anything.
And this is coming from someone who still really enjoys those characters and want to see more of them. Honestly, Peni being able to majorly contribute was highly generous, all things considered. And all the better for me since she's by far my favourite.
I absolutely love the animation of spider verse for just more than the reasons you mentioned, like:
- the differing art styles between the different spider... people? Peni and porker have cel shading, noir consistently has dotted screentones for his shading and usually relies on highlights rather than shadows to define his shape (adding to the overall moodiness of his character design), etc.
- the chromatic aberration, especially when playing with camera focus and how it differs in color for the characters (ex. Miles has a green and magenta offset, while the og Peter Parker has the classic red and blue)
And so much more that I didn’t mention! All of the tiny details that went into this movie’s visuals are insane! Also, the sound design. Ohhhh that sweet sound design just tied it all together.
So about that green and magenta offset detail...
Noir is just a fun fish out of water character he's amused by everything around him. I am also just biased towards the 30s hard boiled style. Just found you channel and I have never clicked the sub button so fast.
Legit I can relate to spider Gwen’s struggles on a spiritual level. Distancing yourself from people so you won’t get hurt again is a habit that has ruined me mentally. Great to see someone like that since you never see those type of characters, especially in a kids movie.
You do see them, but they're almost never done in a way that is this respectful to the reality of that struggle
I just realized, when Miles gets spider sense together with Spiderman, his background is pink and green, while Spidermans background is blue and red. As Miles understands that they are both getting the same sensation, his background also turns red and blue! I have no idea if that was intended or not, but it sure is clever
It is intended
They meant that miles has a dream to become a hero by meeting peter parker and feeling safe because of it
@@ahmed4363 In the comics, miles follows his uncle and becomes another prowler but that scene symbolizes when he met Peter his pathway changed to becoming spiderman
@@crystxlzx6442 I did not know that. More useful info to prove this theory even more
How do you feel knowing you were right
@@crystxlzx6442 lmao you basically predicted the second movie wtf. How do you feel abt that
Depresso Peter is my favorite but Miles is a close second...
Not only was this an amazingly well done movie, but the character development was insanely incredible as well. Even the characters that we didn’t get to really meet, like an old friend of miles, or even Aaron (who we didn’t really get to know), it’s almost like we met the character, it’s like we knew them like miles did. And the characters that we did get to meet, we knew them, they were our friends.
The way all of the characters are portrayed is just amazing. They all act their age as well, which is a very important factor. And on top of that, the storyline is literal gold. I really love this movie.
Wow. I really love this analysis. And great job for pointing out Older Peter's struggle - he was depressed, stuck and basically willing to die/sacrifice himself, but he chose to continue living and face his demons. That is a very vERY mature lesson to be portrayed in any movie, especially an animated one. And I didn't even really grasp the impact of it until you pointed it out. Kudos!
"Comic books can work much better in animation. This was the test of that idea."
Anime and manga: Do I mean nothing to you?
For most of the people yes
For those who acknowledge it... Maybe no (depends on the adaptation)
It's called hentai and its art..... wait I mean filthy weeb
Well... yes and no. The thing with anime is, it doesnt offer much, except color, music and bad movements. They dont really have creativity or good animation or anything, you can literally see the manga panels while watching an episode /when a character talks, the only thing that's moving is his lips, etc/. Of course, there are exceptions, beautifully animated movies and shows - like Studio ghibli, Makoto Shinkai, etc.
@@spntageous5249 watch mob psycho 100 and get back to me on that lol. but yeah i do agree most anime these days is very sterile, reused, and bland. occasionally there will be gems like mp100 or uhh keep your hands off eizouken is another one i can think of, but what with the 800 different isekais we get every year its starting to get ridiculous
@@spntageous5249
Seen Akira, Ninja Scroll, Fist of the North star, Vampire Hunter D BLoodlust, Ghibli, Wolf Children etc. any thoughts?
The saddest thing is the fact that when this movie came out, I invited my dad to come see it with me and he dismissed it because it was an animated film. Its really a shame he missed out on one of the greatest animated films I’ve ever seen and one of the best films of 2018 AND one of my favorite superhero films of all time.
0:21 "given their history with the character"... The amazing spiderman duology, the Raimi trilogy, all the best tv shows and games and now Spider verse. They dont have a "history" with Spiderman. They ARE the history of Spiderman.
This movie helped remind me why I'm in college, why I pull all nighters, and why I love it when my art projects are done. Seeing the all the work and effort come to fruition.... it's a crazy thing man.
Wow, its June 2019 and we still are getting spiderverse videos?
Theres still hope in humanity.
Edit: Wow, thanks so much for 500 likes!
Edit 2: And now more then 1k likes? This is insane.
Some stop watching Spider-Verse videos
But not us
Not us...
Spider-Verse is too incredible to ignore
I haven't watched it yet but it looks incredible and I love animation/art so I want to see it so badly.
Thank God it's going to be on Netflix in June 24th
We're suddenly getting Rango videos, a movie from 2011
to be fair, it IS already out on netflix so
Wait, the two Peter Parkers were played by different actors? I didn't even notice!
Took me a while to notice too
Animators filming themselves as reference material is the 101 of animation.
References and real life are everything 😊
And for myself, I would love to see more of Spider Gwen ❤️

KellyAnimalLover Me too!!
I love him so much
ahh! I agree too!
I feel the same
And the whole time hes just "what the hell is this thing??" While staring at a color cube
Honestly, I cried when I saw the movie. Miles is my favorite character because I see so many of my own struggles in him. Strained relationships, feeling in your element one minute and then feeling out of place the next, everything being too much and too fast, your own thoughts at a such a high volume you're not sure what you've said out loud or not. This young man, who is spider-man, is also just that - a young man. And to see a movie that was so visually beautiful but so extremely human... I can't describe it without my own video! I used to have a solid top three movie list for a decade, and this kicked one of them off. It's special and no one should miss out on it.
I’m noticing a lot of red and blue colors too, like it’s part of the life he lives since his dad is a police officer. Even when police lights aren’t flashing, a lot of the heavier scenes seem accented by either blue or red.
Or is that just something that’s a coincidence/something I’m reading into too much?

Great video! As a huge fan of John Mulaney’s comedy sketches, it was amazing seeing him cast so perfectly as spider ham. Same goes for the entire cast.
My favorite is Spider-Gwen. I love her sass, her confidence, and most of all, her costume design. Seriously, Gwen's costume is outstanding!
Wait till you see the Sequel!💖🤍
Miles is easily my favorite- he has such a positive impact on the characters around him, and he reminds me of some of my former students!
17:10
This right here is beautiful. You really killed this one, wow. Great job here.
Oh my god Houston's voice is so much deeper!
Graduation pulled this mans voice down a cliff
I have to say, that I do have trouble choosing a spider. Nick Cage surprised me, Ham cracked me up, and I like just enough anime to like Penny. Every one was memorable. Awesome review!!
I've seen a lot f the concept art for the different rooms and settings for the movie and you can feel the love and care that went into making them feel lived in. The opening scene really gets me because you can see all the things Miles is passionate about, but you can also so that his family supports him in pursuing those passions (i.e. the easel and high-quality markers) and that they love him so much - idk I tear up just thinking about it x')
7:56 Okay, hold up: I love this movie just as much as anyone, but it gets zero bonus points for just using reference footage. Literally every modern animated movie does this. It's awesome, but nothing special.
What I see in spiderverse is animators who had the time and the impetus to put a *lot* of effort into capturing as much nuance and subtlety from said reference footage as possible. Small distinction, but I think it's important
Fair point, I guess.
true.
Yeeeees!
Man talk about a video analysis, i watched spider verse many times, and never i actually sat down and looked at the masterpiece that is this movies frames. My brain always tells me that this is the most vibe heavy movie from the locations, lighting, and animation but i will have never noticed these had i not seen this video. Beautiful job here!
Great video, you made me appreciate this movie even more than I thought was possible! One note though, using reference footage is actually commonplace for animators since classic Disney, what makes Spiderverse characters feel more natural compared to other movies is more a choice of writing and direction. And my favorite is Spider Ham!
this is one of my favorite breakdowns of this movie i have ever seen, stunning job
1:42 If that is realistic,
Then the birds in my back yard must have some serious anatomical issues.

Houston really knocked it out of the park with this one. He's reached a new personal best here. Keep it up man.
Wow, this is an AWESOME video essay. Even with aaaall the other reviews out there already talking (the same things) about the animation, yours truly stands out. Not only you pointed out things that matter, you took a super deep and amazing message that others couldn't see or neglected. You're amazing.
I really appreciate this analysis of Spider-Verse, you covered both the animation techniques and film direction choices which is something I've really been looking for. This is a well put together video and you should definitely be proud of the work you put into it!
The creator of one punch man and the creator of Tokyo Ghoul also did illustrations of the into the spider verse characters so also it even has his own anime opening in Japan.
Great video. Always happy to dive back into Spider-Verse because there is so much to discover in there. It's one of those pieces of art you can enjoy countless times and still find something new every time. And I enjoyed the analysis of how it compares and contrasts with other animated movies.
best Spider-Verse video, thanks for all the effort you put in.
Fav Spider-Verse scene is still the first scene of Miles singing, and tapping his throat when he goes off key, acting cool. It's so human, and kicks off that feeling of being in film with real and relate-able story moments.
AMAZING analysis of an AMAZING movie..... Great job yet again, Houston! 👏🏼 Your content gets better and better!
Peter B. Parker is the most interesting character in this movie for me. The worn, world-weary depiction felt fresh and surprising as an iteration we had yet to see of this particular character. That it took a 13-year old kid to help him rediscover his purpose and direction was a nice dissection of how the road of life curiously converges us with the right people along our journey even if they often come packaged in unexpected ways. 😇
Can you imagine the pressure on this team for the sequel though?!?!? 😬😓
This was spectacular. I can't commend you enough as an insightful, measured voice within the online film community. Keep at it!
Was this a spectacular spiderman reference alongside a warm hearted comment?
Man, what a great video. Thanks for some new ideas. I've been watching anything Spider-Verse related and you had some fresh stuff I haven't heard yet. Great job.
Can't get enough of all these love showering commentaries of this Masterpiece!!!
Fantastic video, man. I loved every minute of it and you should be proud of what you’ve created. Great job!
In my opinion animation is far better than Live Action in many aspects (not all though) story is better (Fullmetal Alchemist) the fights are more dynamic (Spiderverse and Clone Wars animated) visuals are more breathtaking (Any Makato Shinkai film) the world's feel more alive (again Spiderverse and Ghibli) There's a reason out of my top 5 films are animated.
It's actually quite ironic that animation feels more alive than the live action movies most of the time.
@@tobito2013 It's because there are limits to what you can do with actors vs animation.
Ive seen many praise this movie for stunning visual but havent found that many talking about how natural the interactions and the gesture feel. It hard finding things like that in recent animations.
Well done! By far the best break down of this film I’ve seen
Animation isn't a genre. It's a way of telling a story.
I watched every ad all the way through. Because you 100% deserve it Houston. 11/10 video.
Also my favourite Spider Person is Spiderman Noir. Easy.
This is really good
I don't mind waiting if u go into detail this much
Keep on the good work bro
i’d like to input something i loved that this video kinda brought out- the voice acting. To me, this movie made every character feel so real using the voice actors. Every character felt like they were talking to each other rather than a script. The voice acting was so smooth and non robotic/cliche-it put you right in the movie with every character. I don’t know how they managed to do such a great job with that. I love this movie with a burning passion and have cried solely over how amazing and beautiful it is💕💕💕💕
I'm LOVING your new style, you really leveled up!
fyi: animators always act and film themselves as reference. Its not something special to this movie. nice video
+1, shooting reference is a necessary step
Next episode should be:
Why channel like this are so underrated
Thank you for making this! It really said some unique things onto the table that I haven't heard be said about the movie yet! It really makes me want to make my own video about realism vs. naturalism in animation and graphics, especially with so many movies coming out now like Cats and The Lion King. Thanks so much for the great video! :D
Spider-Man Into The Spider-Verse is probably one of the greatest movies of all time, it has amazing animation, a powerful message, great writing, and some of the best cinematography i've seen in an animated movie
Also my personal favorite spider person has gotta be Gwen. Ballerina AND percussionist? No competition. She’s the best
This was amazing! Great vid, imma keep an eye open for your next vids
This was one of the best video docucommentaries I've seen and they're pretty much the only thing I watch
You're making me want to watch this for a 6th time, just at the beginning. God i love this movie.
Took me a while to get around to this. But I desperately hope it blows up. So good
17:24 man you made me tear up right there
thank you for such an amazing in depth video !!
It was such a refreshingly new and unique message from a movie. The art style also stood out being so bold and cinematic while still paying attention to the details to keep it grounded in realism. My favorite Spider-Verse Spider Person would have to be Spider Ham aka Peter Porker. His cartoonishly goofy mannerisms, zany fighting style, and sarcastic humor was very entertaining. He was also an interesting contrast to the personalities of the other Spider People.
Well worth the wait, Houston. You can really tell when you pour your heart and soul into a video, and this one came out great!
This video perfectly and beautifully discusses how an animated movie can stand out and relate with the audience even from a design, directing or an animation standpoint. Everytime I watch these kind of videos, I always find and learn something new about how Spiderverse and even other movies achieve their ability to attract audiences and give their movies such life. This was such an amazing video!
Great video man-stands out from your average video essay. Keep up the good work, there's a channel's worth of videos I gotta start watching.
8:50 DUDE this is an amazing point considering things that happen in the newest movie
