Pretty much every example here from Season 1 was keyed by the outstanding Spencer Wan! He’s worked on other amazing stuff like the animated Hades trailer so I highly recommend checking out his work
I just realized Good Witch Azura's magic staff has an egg shaped gem on top. I'm wondering if the egg will be Luz's palismen, a symbol of potential and new life.
@@unkn0n_3rr0r5 That's also likely, the egg has a spiral pattern to it, kinda like a coiled snake, but we can't say for certain until her palismen is revealed. I'm just saying my theory, which could be wrong. If I am, people will see my comment and look back at a time when we didn't know, and then probably laugh at me for being ignorant to knowledge that hadn't been revealed to us yet. If I'm right, people will see my comment and be awed by how I predicted the future.
@@jacobcox4565 I just said cus like in the title for the show there’s like a snake around one of the letters cus like there’s an owl on one of the letters meaning eda’s palismen and people said the snake thing around the other one is a symbol for luz’s and also snakes have been a lot in the show which could be for the palismen (also the letter thing I was talking about is on her shirt in s3)
Then it will become epic, because in the pre-storyline the animation is wacky, whimsical, and cartoon logical but until in the mid-storyline the animation changes itself into the most smoothest and intense battle, edgy fights, and a dramatic animesque acting that makes cartoons felt even more anime. That’s why cartoons are very animesque, which can lead into a transformation into a real anime itself. So that’s why anime is more popular than cartoons.
@@jillianefaithcobre8637 What are you talking about? anime is just cartoons made in japan, it's go a distinct artstyle but in the same way french and american cartoon have a distinct style. Plus the smooth animation isn't "more anime" it's not like anime don't oscillate between smooth and lower quality animation either. If you look at something like one punch man the low quality animation is used to great effect to contrast with the smooth fight scenes. And if you look at something like madoka you'll also see major discrepancy between the animation quality of some scenes despite all of them being serious. Anime definitely inspired some more recent cartoons but that's just kinda how art works. Kinda like how you can see moebius influence in some of miyazaki's work or something like sherlock holmes inspiring detective conan. The owl house is not trying to be an anime, it's a cartoon inspired by it's contemporaries and doing it's own thing and that's great.
4:55 a lot of people might think he's saying "kill him" but he's actually saying "caleb" as a reference to season 3 after he saw hunters palismen "flapjack". caleb was belos' brother who got lured into the boiling isles by a witch. caleb had flapjack as a palismen and hunter (acording to lore) is a clone of caleb
I wish the show was longer for many reasons but mainly because Lilith was very cool as a villain and she had to very quickly redeem herself to make way for those that followed, she could've been a nice Zuko-type that joins the good guys way later. Still like her though, but look at those fights! It's witch on witch with both showing they are the best and yet how their styles are incredibly different
That last scene right, the one that ends the video, I can finally hear Belos saying "Caleb." I always heard him say Kill him before but I always also knew it was him saying Caleb, but for some reason only now can I hear it
That dance between the two ladies to kill the goop monster was fucking amazing. I'd love to see a magic system revolve entirely around two mages, having to dance to cast spells!
One thing I appreciate about these smooth animation is how they apply weight visually into their movements. This sense of weight makes it feel so realistic without succumbing to realism. It’s why all of the character acting in Chainsaw Man feels so realistic. It’s why the battle between the Hexside squad and Belos feels so realistic. It’s why the Lumity dance feels so realistic.
Honestly still think Lilith got off too easily, especially when she kept using Luz as a tool and almost killing her to make Eda submit and get her stoned even if her only intention was healing her. Too far man
yeahhh a big problem with TOH is its pacing, you can tell they rushed to fit a lot of concepts into a small amount of time. obviously the seasons were cut short yadda yadda yadda, but it shows sometimes
@@dangdao8068 even with the series being cut short, i feel like they could have made Lilith's redemption a little more believable. not a super detailed Zuko-esque redemption arc, but something that didn't feel like she got away scot-free with permanently cursing her sister, trying and almost succeeding in killing a literal child and almost getting her sister turned to stone.
I love how they make the animation smooth for fight scenes but also for important scenes. It keeps things interesting and makes an impact for those important scenes!
I love seeing the difference when creators lower or raise the frame rate of shows (AS ARTISTIC CHOICE NOT THE AI BULLCRAP) it really helps add to crucial moments and emphasizes the point
you see, when you give a group of animators an important scene they tend to do better because they know it genuinely matters towards the show/movie/short
I loved how the hand drawn parts of gravity falls got amplified tenfold in the owl house. Like the scene of ford coming out of the portal or bill dying.
i only just realised how in aoaw eda is literally trying to hurt lilith for what she did. its not even like the petty duel in covention. eda is pissed.

Yes
I"ve watched that fight scene so much I've lost track. SO GOOD!!!!!!
I can't express how good that animation is!
OMG YES AND THE EXPRESSIONS ARE AMAZING
Literally best animation from show.
The smooth animations are used for:
-epic battles
-tense moments
-the gay
And the opening
The priorities are set straight.
@@davitdavid7165 set gay, you mean
@@nialvessal I wanted to make a joke like that, but did not find a good way to do it
Too bad, that gay is the only thing, community and even creator herself cares about.
The show reliably has moved animation some moments just a little bit higher quality than others

That's what they call Sakuga.

at the grom, and the kiss in amitys bedroom, the animators got their priorities straight.
“Straight” lol
You mean gay
Luz: “I can’t believe I just said that!”
Amity: :)
The owl house has some of the best animation I’ve ever seen. The crew are really talented!
As an aspiring animator, I can watch this all day. 😍
When the animation suddenly gets extra fluid you know some shits gona happen
We’ve come a long way from seeing Amity, Lilith and Hunter being the bad guys 😭
I’ve never seen a show be so consistent in quality
Agony of a witch is still by far my favorite
Every time there’s smooth animation it just has this amazing anime feel and I love it
I wish the show was longer for many reasons but mainly because Lilith was very cool as a villain and she had to very quickly redeem herself to make way for those that followed, she could've been a nice Zuko-type that joins the good guys way later. Still like her though, but look at those fights! It's witch on witch with both showing they are the best and yet how their styles are incredibly different
I’m not a big fan of TOH but I can appreciate the god tier work put into the animation!
It's pretty smooth in general all the time, but I will admit, it gets a lot smoother in certain scenes.
It feels so long ago watching some of these scenes. I can’t believe it’s almost ending :’)
Agony Of A Witch fight scene will always be my favourite. The voice acting along with the animation and emotion was just incredible.
or that hunter moment from "thanks to them" oml
Well this video needs an update
excited to see the updated version :0
Yupp
Fax
It sure does
@@ohyeababyswag6791 can u do an updated version!!?
ty for making this but my god you cannot appreciate the smooth animation with godawful quality
The lumity kiss scene and possessed Hunter are my favorite out of all of the good animation :)
Great job to Dana and the owl crew (sounds like a band name lol) for these amazing animations!
I don't get how some people say the animation is trash It's amazing
I don't get how people call the show trash-this is literally the best show I've ever watched
eda vs lillith was one hell of a fight
I just know the animators spent a huge budget on making that Lumity kiss scene nice and ✨smooth✨
I love smooth animations... Its my weakness...
Even with all the mess rn, I am glad Danna was able to be one of the first creators to taste the full experience of a Disney budget.
That last scene right, the one that ends the video, I can finally hear Belos saying "Caleb." I always heard him say Kill him before but I always also knew it was him saying Caleb, but for some reason only now can I hear it
I watched this last night and the disney plus subtitles said that too but it sounds more like the first thing
That random Thanks To Me battlescene where the animators clearly got that $2.00 raise
Omg the lumity dance is so nostalgic. I forgot just how special it was 😭
The lumity dance and kiss will always make me super happy
combat, gay, or belos. the three reasons to have smooth animation
The Grom battle-dance is such a beautiful work of animation!
Smooth animation is The Owl House equivalent to "Why do I hear boss music?"
That dance between the two ladies to kill the goop monster was fucking amazing. I'd love to see a magic system revolve entirely around two mages, having to dance to cast spells!
Good i didn’t think people’d catch on the really small moments like this one 1:05

One of the reasons why I love the show so much ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Agreed
The animation in Eda's fighting scenes in S1 are some of my favourite
You know something big is about to happen when the animation gets smooth.
FR
And the fact that I’m watching this and low quality, makes it even better because it still looks good.
i just love when eda summons bird tubes like hooty and just say " *HOO* "
the first scene of this is smooth, and the parallel scene of this is smooth. i love the owl house
you see, when you give a group of animators an important scene they tend to do better because they know it genuinely matters towards the show/movie/short
"CALEB" sudden stop to dog licking its nose. God the ad really killed me
Animation team: Putting their souls into the great action scenes
Also animation team: haha they be kissing
you know that when something becomes smoother, it means more work was put into it meaning that its meaningful
I will never get tired of the grom night dance scene
I think the dance with Luz and Amity is my favourite smooth animation part !!
When I see the smooth animation, I imagine that the character is filled with energy in the frame
the fights in this show are some of the best i've ever seen 😭
the kizz was the most important instance
- Amity Blight
God I wish the whole show looked like this... Disney and other studios really should have bigger budgets
those transitions in the intro are amazing
you forgot when Amity said "Stay away from my Luz" but yeah TOH animation is pretty godly
"one piece animation is so good"
toh animation:
For a second I didn’t realize the intro was part of the compilation and though that you just included it as an intro to the video 😭
I loved how the hand drawn parts of gravity falls got amplified tenfold in the owl house. Like the scene of ford coming out of the portal or bill dying.
i only just realised how in aoaw eda is literally trying to hurt lilith for what she did. its not even like the petty duel in covention. eda is pissed.
This is honestly one of the shows best highlights
And now you can add that fight scene in season 3
that part where luz is riding Owlbert is SUPER smooth
Uggghh i miss this shoooww!! I miss Eda!
God damn the emperor’s coven has a knack for human shielding
Its always the best scenes that have the smoothest animations
I bet S3 E3 will be jam packed with smooth animation!
the hunter vs amity fight makes me wanna jump with hOW GOOD IT ISSS
this should be the entire show
U don't understand how many times I watched the intro because of how smooth it was
I love in the final season, you can tell 'Thats where the budget went.'
