If I ever won the lottery, I would commission Felix to write and direct his own 10-episode series of cartoons. No strings attached, I just want to deove deeper into this beautiful mad man's mind.
This is exactly why I love animation! :) We are so used to everyday streams of fakeness that everyone has been tuned to it and became immune. But animations are still uncensored for the better part, and totally good for opening peoples eyes, which are starving for the weirdness of such... as our minds mirror what's mosly seen, pictures in animations exaggerate aspects of reality making it shockingly strange, yet still true. One cannot express emotionality any better.
I love how we constantly shift between the big and the small. How, things are so infinitely complex if you shift your perspective. Yet, one thing is simple throughout, life is brutal and beautiful.
No, it is very natural. If you walk around the meadow IRL and randomly point camera here and there, you will record random things. But mostly, somebody eating somebody.
No wonder has has won awards as an animator, he has a very interesting style and an amazing imagination. Dude, you need like your own show in Adult Swim or something.
Id love to see more of this place at night. It's so cool exploring a living place like this. In all of it's little coves and glades, undergrowths and canopies. I'm in love with places like this
@@mosterchife6045 that kinda ruins the joke, the drug thing it's overdone but a poison trip sounds a lot more jarring... and funnier, like bam! you licked the wrong frog and now you're going to die but not before having the trip of your life.
So basically the theme of this one (as I see it) is "There's always a bigger fish". Those who think they're in power or seem to have the upper hand are often only more powerless to a being bigger than themselves, whether that being is their original prey or a completely new entity.
I love the style! It reminds me of being a kid and not understanding everything fully. Edit: Holy shit this comment got a lot of attention. To clarify, I was referring the level of complexity of the world Felix Colgrave created in this animation and comparing it to how, as a child, it takes time to understand how the different aspects of our world are connected. For example, how the smallest insect or blade of grass impacts the world around it, and how many other organisms depend on that one insect or blade of grass. Also, I did have a kinda messed up childhood for those wondering lol. While I wasn't high as a kid like some of you were suggesting, my biological father was often high or drunk off his ass. That and I watched the shit out of Adult Swim from age 3 and up, so watching trippy animations was a norm for me growing up.
@@lewismcdonald985 I feel like the important part of the transition goes deeper than the visuals. His earlier work had a more realistic and horror tinged visual vibe, but that was used in contrast to what was usually just goofy and surreal (and at times pretty dark) humor. His newer pieces feel like the opposite. They have this brighter more superficially cartoony look, but they have recurring themes of ecological devastation, extinction, pollution, etc. More serious, real world issues lurking behind the still goofy and surreal first layer, and I think the contrast works equally well in the opposite direction.
@@pifflesomepuffnadder855 The reason it says "Yes" is because "Me", the person writing the meme, simply chooses to not answer directly and just say "Yes", which means several things related to the question or just none of them at all.
I thought I was the only person who played that game. Unless you have the creepy and cute parts pack, good luck. Some of the creatures probably will be super hard to make
the one thought going through that elephent cells mind was "hmmm there's a blood sucking monster eati g all my friends, F:k this!!." walks as fast as he can in the oposit direction
I’ve watched this dozens of times before, but this is the first time while high as a kite. And everything is different. The instruments in the songs are intensified, almost creating a new song altogether. And let me say, I am a fan both ways. Truly stunning work

+Iyus Yusuf its just a story about a world ,all of the different things somehow interacting ,like our ecological system on earth do you want me to elaborate about something specific ,because everyone sees things in a different way
Candy Man The concept that most people seem to lose sight of, with these sorts of animations, etc., is that there is still, in the universe, space, etc., different "degrees of glory" for different worlds, etc. In other words, hell is still hell, and heaven is still heaven. A world where the strong prey upon the weak is still a world which is not like heaven, and, of course, hell is far worse still...
People keep bringing up drugs.. but yeah, almost everything in this animation is still things that make sense, concepts we are familiar with and can relate to. It's really cool, but it isn't as far out there as people make it out to be. Try to see the world and life from the reduced perspective of a fish or a mosquito, can you even begin to comprehend it?
I love how no matter how amazing the animations are, he never forgets to include a few funny bits, like the gardener (?) and the red blood cells. For something like this, it makes me smile :)
I think my favorite thing about this animation, save for literally everything about it, is the sense of humor. Every moment has some form of silliness to it, like there's a slight quirky absurdist joke in the unexpected and you're just like "well, life is like that." Like the llama's movements, how it's rolled into the belly of the beast, literally. The muted music of the little birds. The flowers poking at each other. The parasite's villain laugh. The entire mosquito bird bit. The animation is so beautiful and profound and so damn casual about it. It's very relaxing to me.
Oskar Forever "So we uh, let this bird that sings chiptune fly over a crevice, but this crevice had some huge worm and uh it eats the bird but then this bigger bird grabs the worm so the worm pulls its entire body out which reveals a human body and they both wrestle" *intrigued and confused looks from people*
Pulling cards out of a hat "bird" "eaten by" -oops I grabbed two --just take both "worm" "person" --oh ---person with worm head? -whatever "wrestles" -wrestles? "bird" -another bird? --we need a where "chasm" --bird in a chasm? -how about the worm is really long ---isn't it also a person? -whatever
Peeble Kitty "Okay , so . This hooded monster king starts murdering every other monarch in the realm to get as many crowns as possible and then manages to get the Lich's crown by pissing him right the fuck off"
Don't worry, it just got eaten by a giant green monster, 1000x its own size, with hundreds of sharp mechanical teeth, spinning along toward its deep dark gullet. Just imagine if that happened you... you'd be okay, wouldn't you?
This is one of my favorite animations. Great world building and creature design. Reminds me of when I was a kid and I would love to draw bizarre alien worlds.
I think Felix is one of those artists who really understands the power of cycles on a spiritual level - all these rhythmic, cyclical movements in his animation (complementing they cycles of the music), paired with these cycles of day and night, birth, life, death, and consumption. A beautiful portrait of life as a whole, a wheel, in apparent perpetual motion. Horrifying, ugly, beautiful, funny. Still resonates with me all these years later. Been loving your recent work too
this is the greatest nature documentary ever created, all of these beautiful elusive creatures found on ###### are usually so difficult to capture even if just with a camera. Well done, Felix Colgrave.
I learned from Felix's videos that for any creature, no matter how beautiful or happy it thinks it is, there is always another that is going to swallow it or slaughter it in the worst way possible.
I was thinking of like Rick and Marty getting tossed into this world(the one in the video) with seemingly mad random logic but also appearing to be (could not find an English word to finish this very carefully crafted sentence in a TH-cam comment section because that would be oh so embarrassing if someone were to catch an error in my reply(because you can’t real call this a ‘sentence’ now could you?

"Written, directed, and animated by felix colgrave"
I'd like to see you reading out a script for one of these videos to workers
Peeble Kitty the thing is he animates without a script for these videos
Nik DUY that's not the point. Just imagine a briefing where people face this kind of script.
Oskar Forever "So we uh, let this bird that sings chiptune fly over a crevice, but this crevice had some huge worm and uh it eats the bird but then this bigger bird grabs the worm so the worm pulls its entire body out which reveals a human body and they both wrestle"

"Okay , so . This hooded monster king starts murdering every other monarch in the realm to get as many crowns as possible and then manages to get the Lich's crown by pissing him right the fuck off"
So incredible interior world...
The music is magic!
My mom: go outside
Me: no the animals scare me
My mom: oh come on, they are harmless
The animals:
haha! nice!
@@froogletanimations1086 Wdym?
@@azubilp I think they edited it out but when I saw the comment it did the cringey thanks for all the likes and made a cringey joke
@@froogletanimations1086
Ah, I understand now. That sounds completely reasonable
Clouds can succ 2:15
You know what else can succ

@@Onyx2troll not funny didn’t laugh
i hope the alpaca is ok
Don't worry, it just got eaten by a giant green monster, 1000x its own size, with hundreds of sharp mechanical teeth, spinning along toward its deep dark gullet. Just imagine if that happened you... you'd be okay, wouldn't you?
That's a Llama Bitch!
Its dead
Dead like Muggs
Yeah, he's okay. He died though.
This is one of my favorite animations. Great world building and creature design. Reminds me of when I was a kid and I would love to draw bizarre alien worlds.
Remember, someone had to make the sound effect at 2:16
*lol*
wow lol great comment
Oh yeah
I wonder how...
qphsqulqushiphllupswhlff
Me: visibly confused
Also me: visibly interested
Also also me: visibly wondering if I’m somehow tripping on acid
Try on acid and then see this video :O
Paz Huespe I feel like, on acid it will be either a really great experience or a really bad lol
@@rog69 I can assure you it won't be a bad experience because I did it and I just LOL
Who needs drugs if you could just watch the videos of Felix colgrave
Daichie James Flores yes
*yep*
We need both.
Or cyriak and lumpy touch
okay yeah we don't n e e d drugs but lemme just say i watched this on acid and it was a life changing experience
I think Felix is one of those artists who really understands the power of cycles on a spiritual level - all these rhythmic, cyclical movements in his animation (complementing they cycles of the music), paired with these cycles of day and night, birth, life, death, and consumption. A beautiful portrait of life as a whole, a wheel, in apparent perpetual motion. Horrifying, ugly, beautiful, funny. Still resonates with me all these years later.
Been loving your recent work too
who needs drugs to get high when i have your videos to do it! they're awesome!!!
SWATDRUMMUH But these videos are even greater with drugs
SWATDRUMMUH doublehigh
Ogon kishi no
tripple high....drugs make these sooo much cooler.
Please...
stop...
0:55 Those teeth... those teeth.
hypnotizing as fuck dude
Satisfaction...
ICUSeriously It's like a walking man-whale... Kind of...
Forget those teeth, look at the cute llama! :D
mhhhh......AhahhhhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHhHhHHH 🤢🤢🤢
I really love how everything moves, great animation!
Or the original style, or the unexpectedness of things. It's awesome!
Nice picture friend
Same. I think felix's imagination is pretty wild no?
Drusbakat it really scary
Drusbakat I see many of this shape every. Day they are and can become one of us the only sign of infinity is definity itself
this is the greatest nature documentary ever created, all of these beautiful elusive creatures found on ###### are usually so difficult to capture even if just with a camera. Well done, Felix Colgrave.
4:00 i love that scene.
Vore
@@hbushnell 💀
vore
2:10 is anyone going to talk about how weird that is
That's normal
@@BillyBob-jy1gv Completely normal
2:23 is much worse
Mmmmhmmmm mm mmm
C O N S U M E T H E B I R D
2:26 when someones making fun of you and you manage the perfect comeback
I learned from Felix's videos that for any creature, no matter how beautiful or happy it thinks it is, there is always another that is going to swallow it or slaughter it in the worst way possible.
It would be a terrifying adventure to actually be in that garden
humans would be the first one to die
I was thinking of like Rick and Marty getting tossed into this world(the one in the video) with seemingly mad random logic but also appearing to be (could not find an English word to finish this very carefully crafted sentence in a TH-cam comment section because that would be oh so embarrassing if someone were to catch an error in my reply(because you can’t real call this a ‘sentence’ now could you? It’s like a run on paragraph,), anyways lost track what I was getting at here I am getting pretty old 17 I’m practically on my death bed right not(“que the iron-e-see(I did that’’ as auto correction on an iPad won’t give me a good word to replace my gibberish-ibberish soo that’s about all ) ) fun words and all great comment by the way KamiSilver I would mention your first replay-er to our pit-tick-u-lurr comment here on this video but I’d rather tap more buttons!waste more unregainable heat and energy than to punch in 6 letters and say thanks in 3 letters good bye hand ave safe travel to your permanent staying place you were before at.
My friend: asks me about my dream
Me: it’s a bit complicated
There's a lot of violence in it and no women
hahaha nice!
Yeah that's how it goes trying to explain quite a few of my dreams. You just can't even begin to try without sounding absolutely insane
Ok but what does the relationship between you and your friend has to do with the video?
@@dawidek4267 r/wooooosh
Spore in a very weird Nutshell.
haha yes
Correct
Yep once I had dark infection for spore and I made a wired tree abomination
Humanoid worm... Yes i... I created that monstrosity in spore
It's not even a nutshell at this point it's a fucking fractal
i have to admit that i've whatched this animation like, 100 times and i never get tired of seeing it
I don't know what I just watched.
I don't know why I watched it.
But I think I liked it.
You could make a religion out of this
no dont
T VM 😈😈
I did already
Religion of death and terror
Pathetic
2:12 There is something very pythonesque about this moment.
probably because of all the stuff involved with clouds in the flying circus
*tells you to find the holy grail*
It took me way too long to figure out that word
Totally had the same thought. Was waiting for God to bestow a quest.
omg I thought the same thing
I just deeply love your art style ❤
Your art style is amazing and your stories are weirdly satisfying to watch
2:02 Is that what happened to Bob Ross when he died?
He never died he just reached a form of pure nature which he always strived to achieve in his art
Supra Mayro yep and home to happy little birds
He became the happy little tree
Robert Boffey yes😂
Bob Ross was the second coming of god
HOW DO YOU COME UP WITH THIS STUFF
Holy fuck
acid
acid
+Sebastian lozano in turkish we have a saying
"kill the brave but gives his due"
i wonder how many people are on acid and how many of them can do this
dude man I came up with some morals too and that fits the fuck out of the whole mutha fuckin video dude. man that shit cracked the cranial failsafe of knowledge dude. man it cracks the membranial code. we can launch nukes from our mutha fuckin minds dude
