hi people seem to still watch my old stuff!! Thank you!!! Please check out my new stuff (please). And I will shamelessly plug my twitter and insta :) twitter: twitter.com/mangomomm insta: twitter.com/mangomomm
WHY IS IT THAT THE PART THAT HURT ME MOST WAS WHEN EVAN SAID "No mom who just was there cuz mom was all that she had to be" AND SMILED DOWN AT HIS FOOD BUT THEN LOOKED UP TO SEE NO MOM ON THE OTHER END OF THE TABLE TO EAT WITH
I love how you can hear the anxiety and emotion and self hatred and how overwhelmed he is in his voice so empathetically. This role was made for him. And your animatics are so beautiful, these bring me to tears.
Alexandra Brown Ben really was amazing. It sound like he is crying but his singing is still amazing and clear. The "This mess that I am" part gives me shivers
*_"No one can really see"_* *_"Would they like what they saw?_* *_"Or would they hate it too._* *_This shows that Evan hates himself for who he is because he thinks that the family is broken because of him._* *_I am sobbing... So much._*
Everyone goes crazy for "Waving through a Window," but, to me, this song exemplifies what the show is trying to convey. That, no matter how much you try and close yourself off, no matter how much you try to make something happen that's not there and doesn't exist in the first place, the only thing that's real is what you have; you're mom is there for you, even if she's always working. Don't close yourself off. Step into the sun and see what's true.
I think what makes this work better than Waving Through a Window in terms of sadness is that Window is a bit more upbeat and energetic, with a bit more of Evan's anger at himself and the world. Words Fail is much more subdued, and is purely about grief and guilt.
@@ruzspruce9984 LMAO this is late as hell, i still think ben was a wonderful actor because the fact that this scene probably triggered high emotions out of him and he managed to filter it out into just a performance astounds me. if i were singing this, and i am an actress, i would lose my shit and i wouldnt be able to sing. :)
"What if everyone saw? What if everyone knew? Would they like what they saw? Or would they hate it too?" The thought that kills me every time it enters my head, cracked up a little bit hearing it in the song
Cynthia (to Larry): When he threaghtened to kill himself the first time, do you remember what you said? Larry: Of for Christ's sake. Cynthia: "He just wants attention." Larry: I'm not going to sit here and defend myself. Cynthia: He was *getting better*. Ask Evan. Tell him, Evan. (Evan freezes, the unmistakable sensation of his hands clamming up.) Evan: I shouldn't, um... Cynthia: Evan did everything he could. Larry: Evan was in denial of what was happening / right in front of him. Zoe: / Don't put him in the middle of this. Cynthia (going to the computer): Read the note, Larry. Read what he said. "I wish everything was different." / He wanted to be different. He wanted to be better. Larry: / I did the best I could. I tried to help him the only way I knew how, and if that's not good enough . . . Evan (overlapping them): No . . . No . . . No . . . Cynthia: He was trying to be better. He was trying. Larry: And he was *failing*. Cynthia: We failed *him*. (Evan can bear it no longer) Evan: No you didn't. (They rutn to look at him." Evan: You didn't fail him. Cynthia: Look at what he wrote . . . Evan: He didn't write that. (Long pause) Evan: I wrote it. (Silence.) Cynthia ( A ludicrous notion): You didn't write Connor's suicide note, Evan. Evan: It wasn't a . . . it was an assignment from my therapist. Write a letter to yourself. A pep talk. "Dear Evan Hansen: Today is going to be an amazing day, and here's why." Larry (Unable to make sense of this): I don't think . . . Evan: I was supposed to bring it to my appointment. Connor took it from me and I guess he must have had it with him when you . . . found him. Zoe: What are you talking about? Evan: We weren't friends. Cynthia: No, no, no. **Words Fail begins to play**
I looked back and forth from the script a million times please be grateful this took a long time for me I didn't even get distracted please reward me with praise.
I'd rather pretend I'm something better than these broken parts Pretend I'm something other than this MESS that I am Hearing his yearning when he says broken parts and his pain when he says "this MESS I am" broke me because I could relate on a visceral level.
im blocking you for the bit where evan is eating dinner by himself thats illegal in at least 38 states of america (can you give the boy some love please,, somebody get him a blanket and a solid hug)
So if I look up the laws of 13 states tonight one is guaranteed to show me that leaving your child in your private home unaccompanied for x amount of time is illegal? Challenge accepted.
what killed me when i watched the musical is that cynthia was sobbing the entire time, and im glad you captured that here. i think i cried most when cynthia was losing it.
AH!!!!!!!! Wow. So good. I read this article about Ben and how he portrayed Evan with so much emotion and there was this picture of him mid song (don't know which one) with the most pained expression on his face, with big puffy red eyes... and now I just want to see the show even more so I can SOB AT HIS SHEER TALENT AND THE SADNESS
Abigail Cunningham The show is phenomenal. I saw it last Sunday, second row. I had chills the entire show pretty much. I have the urge to see it again already.
Holy shit, I've never commented on anything before but this is so good, I didn't fully realize every meaning in this song until I saw this, so thank you.
I'm crying so hard rn. I've been there, admitting doing something and can't explain why you did it other then that your sorry and just wanted to be apart of something. This song brings be so many memories and the animation drove it home. Thank you for the beautiful piece but also my insides hurt now.
“No one can really see, if they saw, would they hate it too?” *This hurts so much, it proves how much Evan hates himself, it just hits really close to home, I can relate so much it hurts. I’m sorry, I needed to vent*
The emotion Ben put into this song, is honestly so moving. Mostly the line "Pretend im somthing other than this MESS that I am!" And "Cuz than I dont have to look at it, And NO ONE has to look at it!" Are just such powerful lines, you can tell he put his heart and soul into this song.
WAIT SO THE STEP INTO THE SUN THING MEANS EVAN WANTS TO DIE AGAIN BECAUSE THE SUN PART IN WAVING THROUGH A WINDOW AND AUGH ITS EVEN MORE SAD NOW GOD DANG IT WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELG
I think it means that he's willing to bear through the pain to try to make it up to the people he hurt. I also think it means he's ready to accept himself for who he is.
Nope, step into the sun means to be in the light, to be able to be seemed by other people and seemed by yourself, exposing and facing your true self, or something like that In Waving trought a window he wants to step out of the sun because he wants to run from face who he is, but in this song he wants to face himself, he wants to step in to the sun and face the truth overcoming his fears
My favorite part about evan is his hair is so well put to together all the time and that may sound weird but I have diagnosed social anxiety disorder and my hair is really important to me. I always have a comb with me because I physically cannot handle my hair being out of place and when I obsessively brush it nobody gets it. I've had teachers take it away. I've had to defend myself to the school because a kid gently combing their part back into place disturbs the kids and teachers around them. Without it I have to hold something large enough so my nails can't dig into my skin and leave me bleeding. A teacher came over and asked the table if it disturbed them and one kid said yes. I said "this is my only good way to help myself. It's this, I pick my scabs, or I dig my nails into my skin. Make your choice." She let me keep it. How neat his hair is during the musical seems like such small but well placed representation, especially compared to the other characters
I will say this, I like how they had Evan admit what he did instead of someone else exposing him like we’ve seen in countless other liar revealed stories.
I never meant to make it such a mess I never thought that it would go this far So I just stand here sorry Searching for something to say Something to say Words fail, words fail There's nothing I can say I guess I thought I could be part of this I never had this kind of thing before I never had that perfect girl Who somehow could see the good part of me I never had the dad who stuck it out No corny jokes or baseball gloves No mom who just was there 'Cause mom was all that she had to be That's not a worthy explanation I know there is none Nothing can make sense of all these things I've done Words fail, words fail There's nothing I can say Except sometimes, you see everything you wanted And sometimes, you see everything you wish you had And it's right there, right there, right there In front of you And you want to believe it's true So you make it true And you think maybe everybody wants it And needs it, a little bit too This was just a sad invention It wasn't real, I know But we were happy I guess I couldn't let that go I guess I couldn't give that up I guess I wanted to believe 'Cause if I just believe Then I don't have to see what's really there No, I'd rather pretend I'm something better than these broken parts Pretend I'm something other than this mess that I am 'Cause then I don't have to look at it And no one gets to look at it No, no one can really see 'Cause I've learned to slam on the brake Before I even turn the key Before I make the mistake Before I lead with the worst of me I never let them see the worst of me 'Cause what if everyone saw? What if everyone knew? Would they like what they saw? Or would they hate it too? Will I just keep on running away from what's true? All I ever do is run So how do I step in Step into the sun? Step into the sun
*Connor:* There are moments that the words don't reach There is suffering too terrible to name You hold your child as tight as you can And push away the unimaginable The moments when you're in so deep It feels easier to just swim down Evan, it's quiet uptown... do you like it uptown? *(he is going through the unimaginable)* If you see him in the street, walking by himself, talking by himself *(he is going through the unimaginable)*
When he's singing about wanting what was right there in front of him, my heart wrenched. I've gone through almost the same exact senario as Evan Hanson. I saw so many people happy... So many people taking advantage of the fact they had a family, one who wanted them. This is a masterpiece, a work of art. Thank you.
I love this because this shows what's the truth but sad because Evan realizes what mistakes he's made. Evan really wants things to be different for him.
I love this so much! The feeling behind the song is portrayed wholeheartedly behind the animatic, and you have done an amazing and inspiring job! Thank you!
“No, I’d rather pretend I’m something better than these broken parts, pretend I’m something other than this mess that I am, cause then I don’t have to look at it, and no one gets to look at it.” This is my favorite part of the song. The emotion in it is so strong and I love it so much. This song in general, no this entire play, is AMAZING. Your art style is so pretty you are really good at expressing the emotions, keep up the great work!
i like the part when evan says “These Broken parts” because during when he says These he sounds like that he’s glitching just like a robot would do if they have broken parts it’s just a nice add of detail the musical puts
This is a masterpiece omf..... your art style is beautiful and I love the way you draw hair w/ shapes??? It's really pretty ... especially the way u portray Evan's emotions!! I love the facial expressions and ears... I'm REALLY interested in your style it's amazing!!!!!!!! All the angles are perf I love this a lot 10/10 thank u a bunch💖💖💖
Anyone else have the type of anxiety that blanks your mind whenever you need to speak; even though you- to the point of obssession- ruminate on the right words to say, to sound lucid, eloquent, and just not stumble over your words or come off as insecure but then the moment you need to speak... you just get tongue tied anyways?
Words Fail.... The song I sing in my head. The song that brought me back to life with happiness. The song sometimes make me cry about my sad past when I was at the age of 8... I have to agree with this songs words do fail. . .
Ugh as someone who’s just now getting into this fandom (fight me I like didn’t even know abt this musical until everyone started hating on the movie recently and I finally listened to the soundtrack and fell in love so yeah anyways-) this animatic is just like absolutely perfect tbh. This song hits so hard and I absolutely love it. Evan’s so sorry for his actions and u convey that emotion so well in his expressions! Jeez my heart can’t take this rn 😂😭
i thought it was a good idea to read a book about a kid m y age with a terminal illness while watching this . sorry for spelling mistakes i cant see thriugh my tears
This is insane. I'm literally about to cry, this is so beautiful. You can see how overwhelmed he is just in how you've drawn him and how it compliments his voice. Please continue to draw, you have so much talent.
I love how you can hear that the singer is really into it. I love how you can see that the characters on the screen are into it. I love how you can feel that the artist is really into it. I love everything about this video!
Is it bad that this is relatable to me? I used to _really_ hate myself, and I thought that I didn't deserve the great family that I have. Perhaps I perceived the song wrong, but I saw this in the song.
Toto The Squid This song is more about Evan’s horrible self loathing, depression, and, buried within the lyrics are some suicidal thoughts It starts as an explanation to the Murphy’s and turns into a deep dive into his feelings about his life and his choices
Exactly how I feel like why am I here just to disappoint everyone I love. Why am I such an embarrassment why is everyone better than I am. Why don’t I just fit in why can’t I ever feel normal without being insecure. Why am I crying about myself that’s just me being selfish. Most people have gone through worse things than I am feeling and I don’t deserve to cry. Everyone is working hard to keep me happy so why do I push everyone away. Why do I make people uncomfortable around me and why do people make me uncomfortable even when I want to get to know them. It’s just an ongoing cycle of hate and I’m done with it at this point. Something needs to change.
so, it's an amazing song, a beautiful animatic, and is so heartbreaking. but personally, I think that the most impressive thing is that you kept Evan's hair parted the same direction in every frame
This absolutely beautiful. This animation I feel perfectly captures the emotion in this song. It's so wonderfully done thank you for posting this. I'm totally not like crying super hard or anything pfftp no way. Great job my dude
It’s been two years since I saw the show. I was probably the only one who didn’t cry. Being sick with the common cold which is a rare thing that happens at the night at the theatre for me didn’t make enjoying DEH any easy. But I’m lucky to have got through it okay. And the more I see Evan being the Connor look alike, the more I like him better dressing in blue.
What really breaks me is when he says "will they hate it too" which is implying that he hates what he is. He hates himself, and that just breaks me how one word can change so much
I honestly just starting sobbing at less then a minute of this song playing because you can just feel the pain and relate to him and everything he sings about and honestly I love this musical and song and your animation is really beautiful
" I never had that dad that stuck it up. No corny jokes. No baseball gloves. " God that's fucking what hit me. Then the next part involving the mom made it a fucking waterfall of *relateing*
i aDORE YOUR ART STYLE. the characters are all so unique and distinct, and everything is so flowing and loose,, it's just so GORGEOUS??? this might be my favorite DEH animatic ive ever seen
I was listening to this song in the car (not driving, with headphones) and silently burst into tears. My mom started freaking out and tried to pry out if something was wrong. BAHDKAKND HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO TELL HER THAT HER SON IS CRYING BECAUSE OF AN ANIMATIC Ahh I love my mom so much, bless her soul :')
How can so many songs in a musical consistently bring me to tears EVERY TIME I listen to them? I was just thinking about one of the songs at work today and trying not to cry
I have never seen Dear Evan Hansen but I've been listening to the soundtrack and watching animatics and it seems really good and this song is just so emotionally powerful and you did an amazing job portraying that in this
I relate to the lyrics and emotions conveyed by this song so much and I just end up sobbing everytime I hear it because, 1)it's such an emotional song sung so well and it just makes you feel for the characters 2) it conveys so well how I myself feel. So, thank you, for making this animation so well. Just- thank you. It shows all the emotions so well- and just, I really don't know what to say but, thank you! I'm sorry I'm such a mess but, thank you!!!
Your use of colors are so amazing. People overlook colors all the time but they honestly make a video. The way the blue faded as the song went on and the bright splashed of pale yellow in the phone to and doorway. Then the dark smudged blue of the people around him. It was perfect and absolutely beautiful
you nailed this! I love your choice of presentation! like when he yells out "And it's right there!, right there!" you drew a picture of their family with him reaching out to it, and when he says "So you make it true" he's in the picture, it gets me every time :') Edit: also when they leave in the second part and he's completely alone is just so perfect i love it
Mangomomm, One thing that i see in your animatic is how you make such subtle but powerful movements in your drawings. Its like watching an actual musical buy with multiple camera shots. And the way you transitioned Evan's emotions physically in the face and body was so well executed. Its beautiful and you captured it perfectly. All of it.
I gotta say, Word's Fail was one of the best falling action songs i've seen in a musical. But I like tour animation "Now mom who was just there, cause mom was all she has to be." I really think you caught the loneliness in the frame of Evan looking up only for his mom to likely be at work. Great job at your part, especially handling such a long song.
“I never let them see the worst of me” We know we all hide something, something we don’t want anyone to see. It’s like a mask that we can’t take off. No one can see what we truly are. “Cuz what if everyone saw?” “What if everyone knew?” “Would they like what they saw?” “Or would they hate it too?” This is us questioning ourself. Am I perfect? Does anyone like me? Do I love myself? Am I worth anything? If I show them, will they accept me? This is the phase where the mask stays on like a permanent marker. We’re attacking ourself’s with our own words. Discouraging our self, lowering our self-esteem. “All I ever do is run” “So how do I step in... step into the the sun.” I think anyone can relate to this line We all run away from our fears instead of facing them either when it comes to our general fears or bigger things. When some one hurts our feelings it our instinct to let those words sink in, to let them ruin us. So what’s the point in living? Love There’s always someone out there for you some one who loves you Someone who will be there for you even if you don’t need them. That’s exactly what this musical is trying to tell us. After the sun sets it will rise again, you just need to wait. In the real world there are no good guys nor bad guys, we just see the world like that. In this musical there is no good guy. Evan for sure isn’t one. He lies, abandons, and treats his mother like trash. Evan has a reason for this. His father left when he was young, his mother is never around, and he struggles with social anxiety. Conner isn’t the bad guy either, sure he was a drug addict and tortured Zoe but he’s not the only one like that. He killed himself thinking it’ll be better for the world. No one is the good or bad guy. I love this song because it show emotion and truth. No one is alone just open your eyes. /You Will Be Found/ -Sincerely Me
I needed to hear this at this ungodly time of 2:00 in the morning while crying to dear Evan Hansen I'm not being sarcastic I really needed to hear this thank you
Ben Platt is so amazingly powerful with his voice. I've never cried listening to a song, but to his voice I shed a tear. Your drawings are amazing as well. They really convey all of the feelings and I love them. Keep up the amazing work!
This is the closest to crying I’ve been in a long time. “I never let the see the worst of me! ‘Cause what if everyone saw? What if everyone knew? Would they like what they saw? Or would they hate it too?” That’s so deep. Jesus Christ.
*talking about the beginning of the musical* HE *flips table* SAID *shoves bookshelf over* HE DIDNT KNOW *breaks window* CONNOR *throws chair at wall* AND THEY SAID *beats the wall with said chair* HE WAS IN *breaks chair* SHOCK AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED *jumps out broken window*
Aaaa, I'm late to watching this ;~; And, a big applaud to you! This was the first animatic that has gotten me to tear up, and I was just like "Oh wow..." And shocked because, how you showed the emotion in the faces just conveyed all the emotions that were more than likely going on in the song and it's just... It's just so good ;-;

Abigail Cunningham I really had to stop myself when he mentioned his dad and mom.😭
Abigail Cunningham Musicals and there amazing metaphors, my Lord!
BABY BOY IS TRYING TO CHANGE GIVE HIM A CHAAAANCE!!
I love how you can hear the anxiety and emotion and self hatred and how overwhelmed he is in his voice so empathetically. This role was made for him. And your animatics are so beautiful, these bring me to tears.
ben platt did so well with conveying the emotion in this song. and also thank you
Alexandra Brown Ben really was amazing. It sound like he is crying but his singing is still amazing and clear. The "This mess that I am" part gives me shivers
I also love that you can always see the tears on my that it even wipes his make up
Alexandra Brown I agree do much this.
very true!
*_"No one can really see"_*
*_"Would they like what they saw?_*
*_"Or would they hate it too._*
*_This shows that Evan hates himself for who he is because he thinks that the family is broken because of him._*
*_I am sobbing... So much._*
zea yro this made me sob
Well now thanks to your analysis, we can all sob together
If it was me talking, they would hate it too.
Im just,screaming I LOVE YOU SO MUCH EVAN I CAN BE YOUR FRIEND
zeayro so Evan is me?
If you listen closely in the beginning you can hear me sobbing
Jade Briggs SAME
yup, same
Hahah
And if you listen closely in the end, you can hear me dying
If you listen VERY CLOSELY throughout the whole thing, you can hear my heart shattering into a bunch of different pieces
Everyone goes crazy for "Waving through a Window," but, to me, this song exemplifies what the show is trying to convey. That, no matter how much you try and close yourself off, no matter how much you try to make something happen that's not there and doesn't exist in the first place, the only thing that's real is what you have; you're mom is there for you, even if she's always working.
Don't close yourself off. Step into the sun and see what's true.
yesss! that's why it's my favorite song from the musical
Julian Gines i agree, this is my favorite part of the show
I think what makes this work better than Waving Through a Window in terms of sadness is that Window is a bit more upbeat and energetic, with a bit more of Evan's anger at himself and the world. Words Fail is much more subdued, and is purely about grief and guilt.
@OptimusPhillip
That’s sooo true!
Huh, I always thought that “You Will Be Found” was most popular.
"Cause all that it takes is a little reinvention."
"This was just a sad invention that wasn't real, I know."
: ((((
"oh don't the tears JUST poor" yup
I didn’t realize that till now-
Screw you, screw you all-
*i am SOBBING*
You can hear his voice shaking...
Ben is such a good actor
Vonny Enos , maybe that... or he can feel what Evan feels. And feels sorry for him. Not saying he’s bad. Just saying, Ben’s a good guy.
Maybe he's just crying bc it's words fail and we all cry. Together. Im not the only one.
PLEASE TELL ME IM NOT THE ONLY ONE
@@ruzspruce9984 LMAO this is late as hell, i still think ben was a wonderful actor because the fact that this scene probably triggered high emotions out of him and he managed to filter it out into just a performance astounds me. if i were singing this, and i am an actress, i would lose my shit and i wouldnt be able to sing. :)
@Homie you need to talk or something?
This comment aged like milk lol
"What if everyone saw?
What if everyone knew?
Would they like what they saw?
Or would they hate it too?"
The thought that kills me every time it enters my head, cracked up a little bit hearing it in the song
Emrad16 that's my favorite line
I just love the way his actor puts so much emotion into every word of the song
He nods after "or will they hate it too?" :''"(

Emma Ragen I know. For me the UHaul truck wasn't even there. It was a mess.

Larry: Of for Christ's sake.

I'm not crying.. but I'm like.... shaking violently
Ha meeeeeee
I'd rather pretend I'm something better than these broken parts
Pretend I'm something other than this MESS that I am

im blocking you for the bit where evan is eating dinner by himself thats illegal in at least 38 states of america (can you give the boy some love please,, somebody get him a blanket and a solid hug)
paratrove whoah whoops, couldn't help myself
paratrove also yes please give him hugs...he needs them
So if I look up the laws of 13 states tonight one is guaranteed to show me that leaving your child in your private home unaccompanied for x amount of time is illegal? Challenge accepted.
After quick analytics only 3 states have this minimum age requirement to be left alone at home
These being Illinois, Maryland, and Oregon.
what killed me when i watched the musical is that cynthia was sobbing the entire time, and im glad you captured that here. i think i cried most when cynthia was losing it.
the detail??? the style???? the sheer NUMBER of frames?!?!? this is so hecking cool
uh?????????omg???????///thank u. its only about 150 frames tho?? so yeah.

I read this article about Ben and how he portrayed Evan with so much emotion and there was this picture of him mid song (don't know which one) with the most pained expression on his face, with big puffy red eyes... and now I just want to see the show even more so I can SOB AT HIS SHEER TALENT AND THE SADNESS
This song is just beyond breathtaking.
this song hurts me too much
Abigail Cunningham The show is phenomenal. I saw it last Sunday, second row. I had chills the entire show pretty much. I have the urge to see it again already.
Abigail Cunningham SAME. I HAVE BEEN BEGGING SINCE I FIRST LEARNED ABOUT THIS PLAY!
I'm U- Nique If you can gather up enough money at all, go see it. Seriously.
3:40 really hit me in the feels there
0:00 through about 5:53 really, uh, hurt me a lot
Holy shit, I've never commented on anything before but this is so good, I didn't fully realize every meaning in this song until I saw this, so thank you.
well thank you a lot! i'm glad i helped you to understand it! :)
those five dislikes are the Murphys and Jared
omg
Savannah Stewart there are 6 dislikes now
Dragon Power
Fine, the Murphys, Jared and Alana
there are 38 dislikes now
I don't even know anymore Connor made different TH-cam accounts and disliked it several times
Looking back onto your seventeen animatic, I can tell that you've really improved at expressions and movement. heckin great job boi
aw thank you so much!! i will keep on trying to improve too :)

I'm crying so hard rn. I've been there, admitting doing something and can't explain why you did it other then that your sorry and just wanted to be apart of something. This song brings be so many memories and the animation drove it home. Thank you for the beautiful piece but also my insides hurt now.
Sophia V I can relate so much to your comment
Sophia V I'm Also crying
Sophia V and can deeply relate
My life in a paragraph 👏🏻
*Hugs all of you tightly*
DAMN IT ALL! I SHOULDN'T BE CRYING! I NEARLY CRIED AT THE POINT WHERE HE LOOKED UP AND SAW HIS MOM NOT THERE.
sorry its hURT ME TOO DOnt worry
mangomomm No its good! I never feel that much on an average day.
this animatic gave me way too many feels. also this musical broke me
Snicks •-• yeahh im sorry for giving you the feels man. the musical is full of feels
mangomomm ITS NOT YOUR FAULT YOU DID WONDERFUL!! IT WAS THIS DANG MUSICAL!
“No one can really see, if they saw, would they hate it too?”
*This hurts so much, it proves how much Evan hates himself, it just hits really close to home, I can relate so much it hurts. I’m sorry, I needed to vent*
Emo (/j)
I love this so much. I love how you portrayed his emotions with the facial expressions and i don't know why I'm crying...
thanks!!! its okay this song hurts so cry out all the pain
The emotion Ben put into this song, is honestly so moving. Mostly the line "Pretend im somthing other than this MESS that I am!" And "Cuz than I dont have to look at it, And NO ONE has to look at it!" Are just such powerful lines, you can tell he put his heart and soul into this song.
WAIT SO THE STEP INTO THE SUN THING MEANS EVAN WANTS TO DIE AGAIN BECAUSE THE SUN PART IN WAVING THROUGH A WINDOW AND AUGH ITS EVEN MORE SAD NOW GOD DANG IT WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELG
Nova #Ninder o uch
wait really? I didn't think he meant that at all.
I think it means that he's willing to bear through the pain to try to make it up to the people he hurt. I also think it means he's ready to accept himself for who he is.
Nope, step into the sun means to be in the light, to be able to be seemed by other people and seemed by yourself, exposing and facing your true self, or something like that
In Waving trought a window he wants to step out of the sun because he wants to run from face who he is, but in this song he wants to face himself, he wants to step in to the sun and face the truth overcoming his fears
Fruits Punch Samurai seen, not seemed
If you say you didn't shed at least one tear at this song, you are a liar and I will not talk to you.
I'm not gonna lie. As I am typing this I am curled up in a ball in the corner of my room crying
Twyla Vlahon Well I didn't cry but my insides ache with sadness
Twyla Vlahon I didn't cry cause it's hard for me to cry.
I didn't shed a tear. I agree that the song is heart-wrenching but I never shed a tear
I read this just as I started to tear up.
My favorite part about evan is his hair is so well put to together all the time and that may sound weird but I have diagnosed social anxiety disorder and my hair is really important to me. I always have a comb with me because I physically cannot handle my hair being out of place and when I obsessively brush it nobody gets it. I've had teachers take it away. I've had to defend myself to the school because a kid gently combing their part back into place disturbs the kids and teachers around them. Without it I have to hold something large enough so my nails can't dig into my skin and leave me bleeding. A teacher came over and asked the table if it disturbed them and one kid said yes. I said "this is my only good way to help myself. It's this, I pick my scabs, or I dig my nails into my skin. Make your choice." She let me keep it. How neat his hair is during the musical seems like such small but well placed representation, especially compared to the other characters
oh dude...i hope you get better
I will say this, I like how they had Evan admit what he did instead of someone else exposing him like we’ve seen in countless other liar revealed stories.
I never meant to make it such a mess
I never thought that it would go this far
So I just stand here sorry
Searching for something to say
Something to say
Words fail, words fail
There's nothing I can say
I guess I thought I could be part of this
I never had this kind of thing before
I never had that perfect girl
Who somehow could see the good part of me
I never had the dad who stuck it out
No corny jokes or baseball gloves
No mom who just was there
'Cause mom was all that she had to be
That's not a worthy explanation
I know there is none
Nothing can make sense of all these things I've done
Words fail, words fail
There's nothing I can say
Except sometimes, you see everything you wanted
And sometimes, you see everything you wish you had
And it's right there, right there, right there
In front of you
And you want to believe it's true
So you make it true
And you think maybe everybody wants it
And needs it, a little bit too
This was just a sad invention
It wasn't real, I know
But we were happy
I guess I couldn't let that go
I guess I couldn't give that up
I guess I wanted to believe
'Cause if I just believe
Then I don't have to see what's really there
No, I'd rather pretend I'm something better than these broken parts
Pretend I'm something other than this mess that I am
'Cause then I don't have to look at it
And no one gets to look at it
No, no one can really see
'Cause I've learned to slam on the brake
Before I even turn the key
Before I make the mistake
Before I lead with the worst of me
I never let them see the worst of me
'Cause what if everyone saw?
What if everyone knew?
Would they like what they saw?
Or would they hate it too?
Will I just keep on running away from what's true?
All I ever do is run
So how do I step in
Step into the sun?
Step into the sun
Thanks bro :)
wtf arent you pinned??????????????????????????
*Connor:*
There are moments that the words don't reach
There is suffering too terrible to name
You hold your child as tight as you can
And push away the unimaginable
The moments when you're in so deep
It feels easier to just swim down
Evan, it's quiet uptown... do you like it uptown?
*(he is going through the unimaginable)*
If you see him in the street, walking by himself, talking by himself
*(he is going through the unimaginable)*
The Hamilton reference is killing me :(

excuse me. as I go cry in the corner. like the hundredth time. well. I think this musical the reason why I have depression
Jenna J I would say same if I wasn't depressed before lol
To be honest this probably intensified my depression
Well, at least you don't hate everything about yourself
Paige Gregory Well the Conner beat you to it
I’d like to hire the person that hit Regina George after watching this animatic-
When he's singing about wanting what was right there in front of him, my heart wrenched. I've gone through almost the same exact senario as Evan Hanson. I saw so many people happy... So many people taking advantage of the fact they had a family, one who wanted them. This is a masterpiece, a work of art. Thank you.
oh my gOd this is incredible. i haven't seen your other animatics but the expressions in this are wonderful. i almost started crying. hoooooooooo boy
Gwyneth Smedley hoooo budy tHanks
“I’ve learned to slam on the break before I even turned the key!”
Yeah no this is the part that gets me
I love this because this shows what's the truth but sad because Evan realizes what mistakes he's made. Evan really wants things to be different for him.
Your style is opening up the floodgates goddamnit
i h a v e i s s u e s ya me mori
You can almost hear the suicidal thoughts.
I love this so much! The feeling behind the song is portrayed wholeheartedly behind the animatic, and you have done an amazing and inspiring job! Thank you!
thank you so much!!! :)
“No, I’d rather pretend I’m something better than these broken parts,
pretend I’m something other than this mess that I am,
cause then I don’t have to look at it,
and no one gets to look at it.”
This is my favorite part of the song. The emotion in it is so strong and I love it so much. This song in general, no this entire play, is AMAZING.
Your art style is so pretty you are really good at expressing the emotions, keep up the great work!
Doctor: you have 5:53 min to live.
Me: o, OK.
W O R D S F A I L
Ad: imma bout to ruin this man's whole career
this song will always remind me about how most kids feel. They feel alone and scared.
i like the part when evan says “These Broken parts” because during when he says These he sounds like that he’s glitching just like a robot would do if they have broken parts it’s just a nice add of detail the musical puts
This is a masterpiece omf..... your art style is beautiful and I love the way you draw hair w/ shapes??? It's really pretty ... especially the way u portray Evan's emotions!! I love the facial expressions and ears... I'm REALLY interested in your style it's amazing!!!!!!!! All the angles are perf I love this a lot 10/10 thank u a bunch💖💖💖
thank you sm ily!!!! i really wanted to capture his feelings in this one because this song man. its so emotiONAL
Anyone else have the type of anxiety that blanks your mind whenever you need to speak; even though you- to the point of obssession- ruminate on the right words to say, to sound lucid, eloquent, and just not stumble over your words or come off as insecure but then the moment you need to speak... you just get tongue tied anyways?
Yes, this is me. This is exactly me. Why are you me?
Words Fail....
The song I sing in my head.
The song that brought me back to life with happiness.
The song sometimes make me cry about my sad past when I was at the age of 8...
I have to agree with this songs words do fail. . .
Need a hug?
Ugh as someone who’s just now getting into this fandom (fight me I like didn’t even know abt this musical until everyone started hating on the movie recently and I finally listened to the soundtrack and fell in love so yeah anyways-) this animatic is just like absolutely perfect tbh. This song hits so hard and I absolutely love it. Evan’s so sorry for his actions and u convey that emotion so well in his expressions! Jeez my heart can’t take this rn 😂😭
i thought it was a good idea to read a book about a kid m y age with a terminal illness while watching this . sorry for spelling mistakes i cant see thriugh my tears
SheSings what's the book
what book if i may ask
You okay now? What's the book?
I was frickin crying so hard by the end of this. This is beautiful.
im so happy someone finally made this; i love this song(my fav) and this animation was freaking fantastic and made me sob a lot.
Great work!
haha i sobbed while making this.
thanks!
no problem. this song always brings waterfalls to my face
This is insane. I'm literally about to cry, this is so beautiful. You can see how overwhelmed he is just in how you've drawn him and how it compliments his voice. Please continue to draw, you have so much talent.
I love how you can hear that the singer is really into it.
I love how you can see that the characters on the screen are into it.
I love how you can feel that the artist is really into it.
I love everything about this video!
can we just appreciate and praise the vocal range, please
Is it bad that this is relatable to me? I used to _really_ hate myself, and I thought that I didn't deserve the great family that I have. Perhaps I perceived the song wrong, but I saw this in the song.
Toto The Squid
This song is more about Evan’s horrible self loathing, depression, and, buried within the lyrics are some suicidal thoughts
It starts as an explanation to the Murphy’s and turns into a deep dive into his feelings about his life and his choices
Exactly how I feel like why am I here just to disappoint everyone I love. Why am I such an embarrassment why is everyone better than I am. Why don’t I just fit in why can’t I ever feel normal without being insecure. Why am I crying about myself that’s just me being selfish. Most people have gone through worse things than I am feeling and I don’t deserve to cry. Everyone is working hard to keep me happy so why do I push everyone away. Why do I make people uncomfortable around me and why do people make me uncomfortable even when I want to get to know them. It’s just an ongoing cycle of hate and I’m done with it at this point. Something needs to change.
I can’t remember when I hated myself
I absolutely love how you captured his feelings with the expressions~ and the art style is beautiful~~~~~
keep up the good work my dude
thankssss my dude
I've been searching for an animatic for this since I saw the musical in person and I have finally found one. and it's perfect.
This legit makes me cry.
wow thanks I feel like I was just stabbed in the gut
so, it's an amazing song, a beautiful animatic, and is so heartbreaking. but personally, I think that the most impressive thing is that you kept Evan's hair parted the same direction in every frame
This absolutely beautiful. This animation I feel perfectly captures the emotion in this song. It's so wonderfully done thank you for posting this. I'm totally not like crying super hard or anything pfftp no way. Great job my dude
lol guys why are you still watching this, go follow my twitch :) www.twitch.tv/mangomomm
I don't have Twitch ㅠㅠ
I would go, but i dont have twitch quq
No let me watch the sad
We’re watching cause we enjoy the animatic, think of it as a compliment.
It makes me feel things
THIS SONG ACTUALLY READS LIKE A SUICIDE NOTE OH GOD IM CRYING
NoOooOo
Yeah, They wrote this song as if they was writing a suicied note for Evan
@@maplefoxxo read this when evan said “noo” at 3:55 and i am sobbing while laughing
I love this song but it makes me cry every time and I hate that, it's so sad
Katia Popova it hurts me every time man
This whole musical is so freaking sad
Same
The book version of this scene is even darker. After Evan leaves the Murphy's he tries to commit suicide by trying to get hit by a car.
Wow. Ben Platt has an AMAZING voice...and this animatic really makes this video a MILLION times better...
It’s been two years since I saw the show. I was probably the only one who didn’t cry. Being sick with the common cold which is a rare thing that happens at the night at the theatre for me didn’t make enjoying DEH any easy. But I’m lucky to have got through it okay. And the more I see Evan being the Connor look alike, the more I like him better dressing in blue.
What really breaks me is when he says "will they hate it too" which is implying that he hates what he is. He hates himself, and that just breaks me how one word can change so much
This is also my fave deh song???? And its right before my birthday???? thank you??????
ayyy happy birthday then!!
This is honestly one of the best songs in the whole musical! Can’t wait to see it this summer!
Lucky I wish I could fly all the way to new York and watch it
I honestly just starting sobbing at less then a minute of this song playing because you can just feel the pain and relate to him and everything he sings about and honestly I love this musical and song and your animation is really beautiful
" I never had that dad that stuck it up. No corny jokes. No baseball gloves. " God that's fucking what hit me. Then the next part involving the mom made it a fucking waterfall of *relateing*
i aDORE YOUR ART STYLE. the characters are all so unique and distinct, and everything is so flowing and loose,, it's just so GORGEOUS??? this might be my favorite DEH animatic ive ever seen
awww thanks for making me smile
mangomomm you deserve it pal
I was listening to this song in the car (not driving, with headphones) and silently burst into tears. My mom started freaking out and tried to pry out if something was wrong. BAHDKAKND HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO TELL HER THAT HER SON IS CRYING BECAUSE OF AN ANIMATIC
Ahh I love my mom so much, bless her soul :')
How can so many songs in a musical consistently bring me to tears EVERY TIME I listen to them?
I was just thinking about one of the songs at work today and trying not to cry
I have never seen Dear Evan Hansen but I've been listening to the soundtrack and watching animatics and it seems really good and this song is just so emotionally powerful and you did an amazing job portraying that in this
I see a lot of people talking about the parents part as the animatic...but just those lines really hit close to home to me AND the animatic... sobbing
I relate to the lyrics and emotions conveyed by this song so much and I just end up sobbing everytime I hear it because, 1)it's such an emotional song sung so well and it just makes you feel for the characters 2) it conveys so well how I myself feel.
So, thank you, for making this animation so well. Just- thank you. It shows all the emotions so well- and just, I really don't know what to say but, thank you! I'm sorry I'm such a mess but, thank you!!!
Your use of colors are so amazing. People overlook colors all the time but they honestly make a video. The way the blue faded as the song went on and the bright splashed of pale yellow in the phone to and doorway. Then the dark smudged blue of the people around him. It was perfect and absolutely beautiful
Wow, this is incredible. Enough said, my words are failing this is beautiful 😭💞💔
This must have taken absolutely FOREVER to make. Good on you, mate.
*applauds*
This is so amazing, you've represented Evan so well and you're editing is as amazing as ever.
This one hit me the most the mix of regret and sadness you can feel in his voice this hit way to close to home
you nailed this! I love your choice of presentation! like when he yells out "And it's right there!, right there!" you drew a picture of their family with him reaching out to it, and when he says "So you make it true" he's in the picture, it gets me every time :')
Edit: also when they leave in the second part and he's completely alone is just so perfect i love it
P.S. love your style
Mangomomm, One thing that i see in your animatic is how you make such subtle but powerful movements in your drawings. Its like watching an actual musical buy with multiple camera shots. And the way you transitioned Evan's emotions physically in the face and body was so well executed. Its beautiful and you captured it perfectly. All of it.
this is prob my fave DEH animatic. its so pleasing to look at ! I love your art style its fantastic !
I gotta say, Word's Fail was one of the best falling action songs i've seen in a musical. But I like tour animation "Now mom who was just there, cause mom was all she has to be." I really think you caught the loneliness in the frame of Evan looking up only for his mom to likely be at work. Great job at your part, especially handling such a long song.
“I never let them see the worst of me”
We know we all hide something, something we don’t want anyone to see. It’s like a mask that we can’t take off. No one can see what we truly are.
“Cuz what if everyone saw?”
“What if everyone knew?”
“Would they like what they saw?”
“Or would they hate it too?”
This is us questioning ourself. Am I perfect? Does anyone like me? Do I love myself? Am I worth anything? If I show them, will they accept me? This is the phase where the mask stays on like a permanent marker. We’re attacking ourself’s with our own words. Discouraging our self, lowering our self-esteem.
“All I ever do is run”
“So how do I step in... step into the the sun.”
I think anyone can relate to this line
We all run away from our fears instead of facing them either when it comes to our general fears or bigger things. When some one hurts our feelings it our instinct to let those words sink in, to let them ruin us.
So what’s the point in living?
Love
There’s always someone out there for you some one who loves you
Someone who will be there for you even if you don’t need them. That’s exactly what this musical is trying to tell us. After the sun sets it will rise again, you just need to wait. In the real world there are no good guys nor bad guys, we just see the world like that. In this musical there is no good guy. Evan for sure isn’t one. He lies, abandons, and treats his mother like trash. Evan has a reason for this. His father left when he was young, his mother is never around, and he struggles with social anxiety. Conner isn’t the bad guy either, sure he was a drug addict and tortured Zoe but he’s not the only one like that. He killed himself thinking it’ll be better for the world. No one is the good or bad guy. I love this song because it show emotion and truth. No one is alone just open your eyes.
/You Will Be Found/
-Sincerely Me
I needed to hear this at this ungodly time of 2:00 in the morning while crying to dear Evan Hansen
I'm not being sarcastic I really needed to hear this thank you
Ben Platt is so amazingly powerful with his voice. I've never cried listening to a song, but to his voice I shed a tear. Your drawings are amazing as well. They really convey all of the feelings and I love them. Keep up the amazing work!
This is the closest to crying I’ve been in a long time.
“I never let the see the worst of me!
‘Cause what if everyone saw?
What if everyone knew?
Would they like what they saw?
Or would they hate it too?”
That’s so deep. Jesus Christ.
this song is the song I've been singing inside the one I've been crying about all my life this is how I exactly feel
Nothing like purposefully making yourself cry when you're stressed as hell
Sometimes a good cry can let stress out. It's okay to cry. You're valid and you're stronger then you know

This animatic brought out emotions I didn't even know I had
*talking about the beginning of the musical*
HE *flips table* SAID *shoves bookshelf over* HE DIDNT KNOW *breaks window* CONNOR *throws chair at wall* AND THEY SAID *beats the wall with said chair* HE WAS IN *breaks chair* SHOCK AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED *jumps out broken window*
Aaaa, I'm late to watching this ;~;
And, a big applaud to you! This was the first animatic that has gotten me to tear up, and I was just like "Oh wow..." And shocked because, how you showed the emotion in the faces just conveyed all the emotions that were more than likely going on in the song and it's just... It's just so good ;-;
