If you watch closely before it cuts back to Magnus grinnig, his fantasy axe has a third smaller axe stacked right on top of the second one. And honestly, a triple-headed axe is pretty dope.
OKay I was just rolling in laughter with every frame of this animation, but I wanted to do a special shoutout to the gleam in Magnus' eyes the instant he realizes that he's got an opportunity to chop his arm off.
That was the one bit I was looking forward to animating the most from the podcast (next to Taako being disintegrated), so I had a ton of fun with that.
I was actually gonna leave that whole bit out at first, but I still needed something at least interesting for the end card of the video. Also, had to include some classic McElroy banter.
Magnus looks like Johnny Bravo doing an Elvis cosplay, Merle is a Peanuts comic but 50 years later, and Taako just looks like the absolute diva he is and I love it
It's great how expressive these characters are, but I particularly like the little greedy flash of Magnus imagining himself decked out in sweet loot just before he decides, sure, he'll go ahead and stick his arm in the thing he JUST DESCRIBED as a deadly trap.
@@spacetearable He's already done it for one party memeber and knows hes far and away the most qualified. Maybe the god of arm cutting will give him an arm cutting axe arm.
Indeed. It's like Assassin's Creed meets Tomb Of Horrors. Another good idea I've heard is something like Groundhog Day meets Tomb of Horrors. Everytime the characters die, they respawn outside but everytime they die te treasure at the end gets smaller.
HOLY SHIT THESE CHARACTER DESIGNS THO..;;, seriously, fantastic job on just like. everything??? this may be my favorite adventure zone animatic of all time and i’ve watched a LOT of taz animatics..
Thank you so much! I actually play this particular TAZ Live episode for those I think would really like TAZ. I wanted to include as much as possible of that classic McElroy banter but it really did add to the animation runtime (I had to cut out and splice with Premiere quite a lot).
Your style is lovely! I adore your Magnus so much. You picked the best possible moments from this criminally underappreciated live show to animate. I'm especially here for the visual representation of Magnus just really fucking loving to remove arms. ...is Lucas reading elevator porn?
I think my fave thing about this live show is how the longer it goes you can slowly hear the bottle of wine that they found in their green room taking effect XD
@@GrizzlyMittz Does this not count as canon? Are the bonus episodes specifically referred to as non-canon somewhere? Or do you just mean because they're bonuses, and not part of the main story? I'm a big fan of the Halloween episode they just did, personally. But I did just listen to it not that long ago, so it's still fresh in my memory.
I meant it more as not attached to the core plot, since I can think of so many episodes that simply blew me away (especially The Eleventh Hour). I think I recalled in one of the bonus episodes Griffin mentioning they were non-canon, but that was also before the end of Balance, and he might have changed that now that the bonus episodes act as sort of a continuation. I sure hope they're canon!
@@GrizzlyMittz I thought he explicitly said all bonus episodes were canon? At some point. I don't remember where though, so I may be wrong, but they did drag in some characters from the bonus episodes into the finale so....
This live show was the WACKIEST episode ever and I loved every second 😂 you captured the chaos perfectly. Especially love the muffled discussion about chopping Magnus’ arm off while Lucas just ignores them 😂
everything about this is fantastic, but i especially love the end how lucas is busy reading his magazine and you can hear the boys arguing from inside the simulation quietly behind him 😂😂
I love this! I’m super new to ttrpg, and I just finished a two session run of the old school essentials version of Tomb of Horrors. It was very fun, and also, if you pull that cylinder out of the tooth box it’s a door into the dungeon.
Thank you, animatic maker, for introducing me to my favourite liveshow! Also, the cut to Lucas reading an elevator magazine is maybe one of the funniest things I’ve seen in my life, so thank you for that 😆
The comedic timing on "i'll heal him! [cut to pool of acid]" is so good
Thanks. As soon as I heard this part, I knew I wanted to animate it.
I love how Magnus envisioned himself with a new axe when he already has the most overpowered weapon in all of D&D.

"I have trained for this moment!"
I love how you can HEAR the way Griffin is smiling.
Merel being indignant and wanting to cut off magnus’s arm is hilarious
Cartoonking1 im fairly sure Merle wanted to be the one in chest
@@darknessoriginal at the very least he wanted to be apart of the process of Magnus losing an arm
Skele-Taako’s extremely angry expression is priceless. Just this infuriated grouping of bones and beautiful hair.
LOOOOOOOVE Lucas reading whilst the boys discuss AT LENGTH how to roll to chop off Magnus's arm.
I was actually gonna leave that whole bit out at first, but I still needed something at least interesting for the end card of the video. Also, had to include some classic McElroy banter.
And the fact that it’s Elevators Monthly is sooooo choice

I love how griffin didn’t even need to mention magnus feeling the poison go through his veins before he tried cutting his arm off
"I have TRAINED for this moment!"
@@spacetearable He's already done it for one party memeber and knows hes far and away the most qualified. Maybe the god of arm cutting will give him an arm cutting axe arm.
@@spacetearable”You’re to SLOW old man!”
I never get tired of the constant ball and forth merle does about losing his arm. He's like "nuh uh I'm chopping off your arm, it's only fair!!!"
lighting starting at 2:31 was BIG sexy
Thanks! It was something new I definitely wanted to try.
"yes, you can roll to CHOP OFF YOUR OWN ARM. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
I adore this art style. Magnus has never looked more Johnny Bravo in his life and I am HERE for it!
Thank you! Gotta love the pomp!
I love your Magnus design!! Big hair for a big boy
The little details are so fun! I especially like the knob being dialed down to “pigeon” difficulty lol 😂
Love pompadour Magnus
YOU'RE TOO SLOW OLD MAN!
God what a great moment
I fukin love taakos angry skeleton sinking into the acid. Also it kinda reminds me of grim from the grim adventures of billy and mandy
that's an interesting work around on the SHEER DIFFICULTY of tom of horrors
Indeed. It's like Assassin's Creed meets Tomb Of Horrors. Another good idea I've heard is something like Groundhog Day meets Tomb of Horrors. Everytime the characters die, they respawn outside but everytime they die te treasure at the end gets smaller.
I love the little outro of all of this unfolding on Lucas's ignored desktop!
HOLY SHIT THESE CHARACTER DESIGNS THO..;;, seriously, fantastic job on just like. everything??? this may be my favorite adventure zone animatic of all time and i’ve watched a LOT of taz animatics..
I've watched a lot of them too, so that compliment means very much to me. Thanks!
I'm gonna add this to my roster of animatics that I show people to get them into TAZ. You've captured the spirit of the show and the boys so well!!!!
Thank you so much! I actually play this particular TAZ Live episode for those I think would really like TAZ. I wanted to include as much as possible of that classic McElroy banter but it really did add to the animation runtime (I had to cut out and splice with Premiere quite a lot).
@@GrizzlyMittz the way you edited the scene makes it flow really nicely!
Your style is lovely! I adore your Magnus so much. You picked the best possible moments from this criminally underappreciated live show to animate. I'm especially here for the visual representation of Magnus just really fucking loving to remove arms.
...is Lucas reading elevator porn?
Thank you. This is still my favorite live show of TAZ and if I could magically freeze time, I would've done the whole episode! lol
It's night time where I'm at and I'm literally biting down on knuckle to be quiet. This is perfect 😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks! ^___^ I had to trim some fat, but I wanted to preserve that McElroy goodness.
An animatic of one of my favorite TaZ liveshows.
Things can't get much more perfect than this.
My favorite too, and hard to top it!
3:56 YOU'RE TOO SLOW OLD MAN!!! So good!
Your art is so whimsical and fun, all while being lovingly detailed and it just really made this already great scene that much more wonderful!
One of the best animations of these three I’ve seen in a while!!! Seriously in my top 5. Love how EVERYONE looks!!
Thank you very much.
This is so underappreciated
At this recent rate, y'all are making it far more appreciated and I couldn't be more thankful. ^___^
I freaking LOVE the way you draw Magnus’s hair. Your art is amazing!
Thank you! The best characters rock a sick pomp!
You gotta be a special kind of person to draw backgrounds like this.
this is one of my fav taz animatics i've ever seen
i love your designs !!! this is exactly how i imagine taako
Honestly so good! The designs and use of movement and character this animatic utilizes is awesome!
Thank you very much! ^___^
Oh my god you made taako look like princess peach. I love it so much.
I love your Magnus design! His hair is so fluffy, like a classic comic book hero :D
I think my fave thing about this live show is how the longer it goes you can slowly hear the bottle of wine that they found in their green room taking effect XD
This is so good! The artwork is expressive and matches well with the audio and I was laughing the whole time. You did such a lovely job!
Thanks! ^____^
I realized while watching this that I never heard this episode. Welp, time to go listen to it!
It's probably my favorite (non-canon) episode and I like to use it as an intro for anyone who hasn't listened to TAZ yet.

This is amazing!! I absolutely love your art style!
Every panel of this is golden, but my favorite one is Magnus sliding into shot saying Doooon't with his hair on fire.
this whole animatic is just fucking fantastic my dude, I love literally everything about this. One of my favorite taz animatics i've seen for sure!
this was beautiful to watch thank you
Please, please make more! Your art is incredible!!
I might just have to now that this has blown up so much.
GrizzlyMittz it’s perfect!! I will use force and threats for more 😤🔪
Love the character designs💖
Yeah this was fun to watch
That was awesome, good designs, and i loved the ending
(needs more views!)
I’ve been looking for this for weeks
This was beautifully animated :)
I love this! I’m super new to ttrpg, and I just finished a two session run of the old school essentials version of Tomb of Horrors. It was very fun, and also, if you pull that cylinder out of the tooth box it’s a door into the dungeon.
this is SO GOOD OH MY GOSH. everything about this is PERFECTION ?!?!!!!
Thank you very much! ^___^
This is so great!!! Made my day thanks!
omg this was fantastic. i was laughing so hard i was in tears. truly amazing work!
This was so well done🤩
This is amazing thank u for this gift
Amazing!
i LOVE this so much
Lucas/Griffin: *(SHITTY GRIN INTENSIFIES)*
I loooove your taako design. He's adorable.
Wow, great stuff! You should post this on r/TheAdventureZone, it's a nice way to get a little signal boost and get more eyes on stuff like this :)
Thanks for the input! That's a great idea, I think I'll try doing that.
Thank you, animatic maker, for introducing me to my favourite liveshow!
Also, the cut to Lucas reading an elevator magazine is maybe one of the funniest things I’ve seen in my life, so thank you for that 😆
And thank you for enjoying it! ^___^
This is so gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!! You deserve more views
oh my god your taako design is INCREDIBLE.
THIS IS SO GOOD! 👋👋*GREAT JOB*
this is so good!!
If it were possible to cut out this video and frame it on a wall somehow, I would do so in an instant
I love every second of this!
I love this animatic so much, it's so good
I love your style so much!!!!! Omg
SO. GOOD.
That was amazing!! I love the way you draw them. :D Good work!
I LOVE your Taako
"I heal him!" "....."
this is the funniest thing, i love ur art and direction
Love it!
This made me laugh so hard, your animation was perfect. I especially love Magnus sliding into frame. Thank you.
Amazing! Astounding! Fantastic!
AYYYY HAPPY 1k SUBS BABEY!! Happy to be your thousandth!!
AYYYYY! 👈👈😎 Thanks a bunch!
this is a work of gODAMNED ART holy SHIT i LOVE IT
TIME FOR RASCAL TO FLY TO JESUS
WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE
The mini figures moving around on the tv is so cute
I LOVE TAKO OUTFIT
"You're to slow old man!"
dissOOOOOOLVED
What if he rolled a 20 and just destroyed his entire body.
I honestly think Magnus would be more satisfied with his own strength than distraught.
Fuck yeah. I love the quiet after loode of the background chater
Magnus: *Cuts arm off*
Magnus; GRIIIFFFIINNNNN!!!
Everyone just fucking dies: the episode
I made the mistake of drinking water while watching this
I like that the boys call their dad Clint
I watched this before I watched TAZ and I now get why Merle wants to be the one to cut off his arm
It's those kinda long-running in-jokes that really solidified TAZ as so remarkable, imo.
What if examining protruding chest is one of your favorite things 🤣
What was magnus expecting to get? It’s a video game. You can’t take the loot out from the game
YOU'RE TOO SLOW OLD MAN
This is why you need a rouge
Taako's angry skeleton gets me every time
I like that Taako is basically a magical girl in a pointy hat.
Clint: "I investigate the-"
Travis: "DOOOOn't....you'll die..."
