This guy’s posture is all the credibility he needs for me to know he’s an animator
That's kinda offensive man he's just living life
@@darraghmc5173 Uh... Not really? There was no negative context in the comment really. Come on now.
True, and thats minus eye contact
Yuria so true
Darragh Mc Meel well that’s stupid it’s not offensive it’s just a normal habit done by animators
Avatar: The Last Airbender. The last Agni Kai is an amazing scene so that would be cool, but anything works.
Or Wakfu! it has really great animation, especially in S1 EP 17
Avatar The last airbender is one of the greatest animated tv shows of all time.
I WAS THINKING THE EXACT SAME THING
And The Dragon Prince
All I was thinking was every episode of LAB.
This is stop motion but the sushi scene from isle of dogs. Spider-verse would also be quite cool
We gotta see Spider-Verse
@Yeetus Defeetus They looked at some clips of spiderverse before, can't remember the episode
The Prince of Egypt!
Eric even worked on it!!! The Red Sea, the cinematography, etc. It’s all so amazing. PLEASE have Eric back to talk about it.
That is an epic animation film.
Yes! Was going to suggest this!
I really appreciate the guest immediately acknowledging and explaining the truth about the history of that style of animation and minstrel shows. This is a lesson in how to address such things, directly, truthfully, as he said it is a part of history, we should not try to avoid and dance around it.
This was the comment I was looking for, thank you
I would like some verification on what he talking about, particularly about the racial issues. Thanks to many media sources pushing biased racial politics for quite some time now I feel that I can't take what they say as true without knowing more about the history and the context.
To put it another way, since it has become popular to bash white people and cast black people as only victims I don't feel like I can trust what people say, partly because people are actually afraid these days to call out the anti-white racism that exists.
@@jeremylindemann5117 That's completely understandable and I encourage you to do your own research if you are truly interested. However I will give you 3 links: one is to a book that is all about the history of the early cartoons and it gives a short synopsis. The other two are summaries of the book and what they thought. I also want to point out that I didn't go out of my way to find summaries that completely agreed with my point of view, there are rebuttals to some statements made in the book. Have a great day!

After all that I forgot the links haha😅
@@amandamills4410 mam you have my regards .. just taught me something new about mannerisms
I really wish he wasn't cutoff while talking about dr.suess. this was probably one of my favorites episodes
Gonna recommend you google the dark side of Dr Suess and see his darker works that he didn't want anyone to see while he was alive
@@theonlycatonice im scared
Technically this is the first episode so...me too?
I wish there was an almost uncut version to this
@@JacobWildrick likewise. This was so interesting and informative
Batman: The Animated Series and its use of "Dark Deco" (light colors on black paper, which was atypical to the standard of drawing on white paper)
Also, a VFX/Animators crossover with "Mary Poppins Returns". I think it was reported that they needed to bring ~70 animators out of retirement with experience in hand-drawn animation. The scenes within the Royal Doulton Bowl show this bridge between animation and CGI very well
th-cam.com/video/J0m82KO9n_M/w-d-xo.html
Yes, the Dark Deco and whole aesthetic was so amazing. Definitely stands out in my childhood.
A movie that people tend to overlook that has absolutely stunning and phenomenal animation is Rise of the Guardians. Seriously, just the 1st scene is jaw dropping.
Dude, and the backgrounds in that film are so well crafted. (I got the art book for that and ususally thats the boring part for me)
And they made like new tech for animating sand for that film if I remember correctly.
I still hope that a sequel is made one day.
@@LadyTanglepath Me too. Man, I love that show. But it wasn't considered a success, so it likely won't ever get a sequel. :( But with how Sandy was animated, I can definitely believe they had to get new animation for that. :D
@@theletterc7325 IKR? It's so amazing.
"Do you guys have any examples of bad animations?"
me looking at a folder full bad animations i made: yes
I cannot relate... in annnnyyyy wayyyy.... 😶
Nope not at all.. definetly. Anny waaayyy.
Lol don't get me started man lol
mood
They HAVE to do this classic (th-cam.com/video/1wAVpcvIrQM/w-d-xo.html). Also Jimmy Neutron comes to mind.
I can relate to that one, lol!
Atlantis: The Lost Empire, the artstyle of that movie is so different
Archerion treasure planet too.
The art styles of Kuzco and Hercules are also super visually pleasing.
Mike Mignola was involved in the production :)
Yes!
Uffff the art of Mike Mignola and the story of Joss Whedon, great movie!
We need to see some scenes from Avatar: The Last Airbender, as well as Studio Ghibli films!
Yeah but you cant use Ghibli clips on TH-cam or it will be taken down
Wish they could do my hero academia clips :)
pml1287 bananas That’s true, I kinda forgot about how strict copyright laws are in Japan
Fuck Ghibli. Watch everything Satoshi Kon directed then cry cuz he died too early.
If you're reading a list of the best anime movies I can guarantee that Akira, at least one of studio Ghibli's movies and at least one of Satoshi Kon's movies will be on that list.
If only they could do a review of Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind! It's another one that holds up so well, like Akira. Just gorgeous. I'd love to see them break down the fight scene where Lord Yupa boards the airship; still one of the coolest and most badass moments in any animation ever.
“It’s shameful, but it IS” that right there is the most realistic and mature way to accept and understand context and history. So simple
Which is why it’s important to explain why it’s shameful so people can understand the context and history, your take is incredibly flawed because it assumes the context and history is intuitive when it must be taught
@@TrueGamer22887 Yeah, it was good that he was able to provide some context. He is aware and acknowledges the history instead of just skipping it over.
@@TrueGamer22887 it’s important to explain why it’s shameful from a point of total neutrality and unbiased opninion... so the context can be appreciated by everybody without feeling like a passive aggressive tedtalk for 8 graders... context and history are not intuitive , the morality and ideal of the events are
Danny Kanerva to people like you there is no neutral viewpoint, anytime history is discussed there are biases it’s impossible to truly neutrally discuss history because one side will always disagree no matter how true or obviously correct one interpretation is
@@TrueGamer22887 > "to people like you!!"
Wow , are you okay ? Jesus , why are you acting like a Karen from Twitter ? Inmediatly going for the throat without even knowing one single thing about me 😂
That's not what i am saying... everyone has biases , doesn't mean we are unable to put them aside for one moment and talk about topics understanding all points... when talking about historical moments we all have a duty to see them not as we WANT THEM to happen but as they happened.
That's all :)
Take a look at Cowboy Bebop: The Movie, Spike vs Vincent.
I scrolled down to comment this. Also the scene in the first episode where Spike is fighting and the camera shakes like in a movie scene
Bro as old as that scene is, it’s one of the best animated fights in anime.
For good stuff please consider Redline or Aeon Flux, for bad stuff do one of the Dingo Pictures movies
Also scrolled to find this. I knew I wasn't alone.
Samurai Jack. Jack vs The Ninja scene. That came to mind when you guys were talking about silhouettes .
Might also be called Jack vs Shinobi. Really love that scene. The way they use only black and white colors is amazing
The Zuko vs. Azula Agni Kai fight scene from Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Yes, Avatar
@@theavatar9191 There is no war in Ba Sing Se.
So happy someone commented this
A lot of the fights in Legend of Korra have some of the best action animation I've ever seen. Season 3 air temple, perhaps? Or Season 3 Korra vs Zahir?
I've been commenting on every react video for them to react to ATLA!!! Whether that's stuntmen or VFX artists reacting to the live-action version or animators to the beloved tv show :)
This is one of the best guests you ever had, he sounds like he is giving a masterclass at a university.
You guys should look at Klaus, the 2d animated christmas movie from 2019
Wait, the movie that I still can't believe is not 3d?
Khalil Abdallah yup. The very same. I saw the details they talk on from Insider. But there’s bit more videos on the other channels from the search
@@sakurapablo671 yeah I have not actually seen the movie itself but I really want to because of how GOOD it looks. It's a German film, right?
Yea that film is really beautiful
Animators react to the entirety of Takeshi Koike's Redline
That's it, the whole movie. You can choose any part of it because it's all beautiful and it's all hand animated.
Studio trigger in general go above and beyond
@@Jr-bn7kc that was madhouse.
@@Jr-bn7kc Redline wasn't Trigger homie, it was Madhouse. Truth be told you can pick anything from either of the studios, they both go into their work 110%.
I first saw that movie in a music video for Foo Fighters and I thought, holy shit what is this!?
When I saw redline for the first time I was absolutely blown away lmao
Klaus (2019) has some gorgeous animation. They actually developed new technology to do the lighting. Fascinating stuff.
1. anything by Nakamura
2. Mob psycho 100: Shimazaki vs everyone
3. One punch man: Saitama vs Boros (or genos)
God Yes.
1,2,3... Wait, it's all Yutaka Nakamura ?
Always has been
@@SlimTony Well, the Shimazaki fight is Nakaya Onsen (and some other animator IIRC)
The OPM fight iwas animated by Yutaka Nakamura + others too (Arifumi Imai, Norifumi Kugai etc.)
I recommend Over the Garden Wall, every scene looks like an old painting, and it draws inspiration from the 50s rubber hose style.
Is that a sequel to over the hedge?
First of all, rubber hose refers to 30s animation, and second, it doesn't look like 30s or 50s animation. The characters look like modern animation, and the backgrounds look like colonial paintings
@@asherveness3384 haha I thought that too
Rubberhouse is way older and also not what its inspiration is at all. It takes inspiration from late 1800s films and books, operas and early rotoscope animation. The closest to rubberhose era is the dream sequence in the episode "Babes in the Wood"
@@reaganspider200 He's talking about rubber hose animation. God knows what you're talking about...
I would personally like them to cover claymation like Wallace and Gromit.
One word: CHEESE
Then they could have someone like Kevin Parry or even Nick Park
ya claymation is so cool and one of my favorite animation styles when done right
Or Fantastic Mr. Fox.
Or Gumby and Pokey
Avatar the Last Airbender: Final Battle and Final Agni Kai
Yes great idea
Anything Avatar
Can we just get an last air bender episode, Gi would be great to have on for it too
Obligatory Aang does the dragon dance to shoot down Ozai's ship
This
Akira needs more scene breakdowns. It just wasnt enough, its the best animated movie of all time
My dad agrees.
@@upsidedowntriangle and I agree as well
Perfect Blue is right there
I’d say neon Genesis evangalion and end of evangalion is the best
It’s also weird and yet cool that the ending is all original. The manga was still in serialization, and the movie is the first 3 volumes of 7
Bad animation? Gotta do the "ExUsE mE prInCess." From that old Zelda cartoon.
It might also be interesting to compare the first episode of One Piece to the latest episodes to see how the style has matured and how the larger budget effects what they can do.
The differences between the fist episode and current episodes of any long-running animation series is so fun to compare, it becomes really apparent with shows like Family Guy and American Dad (just the first two that come to mind).
Great concept, maybe they might do a special for it if not an integration into this side of the react segments 🙃
i like the older color palette tho, felt more calm
Compare Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 1 to Season 7. The difference is incredible
Replying to boost your comment
Yes I reply to boost your comment great Idea!
FACTS!
specifically the final arc too
YES!
"Cycles are a bit of cheat" *Sweats in videogame animator*
No one draws a hundred unique steps for a walking animation, cycles are what keeps animators sane.
@@sweedy6647 Absolutely. They also don't get paid enough to be more creative unfortunately.
That's why inverse kinematics are so useful. You can use the same manually-produced animation, but the end result is different because the computer is modifying it on the fly to match the surroundings. It's also much better than full physical simulation because it lets you keep animation stylization and is less likely to bug out.
@@theblackswordsman9951 just tip them then. duh.
This was like a little 15 minute history lesson on animation and I absolutely loved it.
Talk about "scaring kids," that crying kid they showed the picture of was pretty scary, yikes
Movie or Short film?
@@re_tomori549 What do you mean?
@@thesoupin8or673 if it is a movie or a Short Film.
@@re_tomori549 At 11:18, the guest is talking about how he likes the darkness of books like Roald Dahl's, even though they essentially scare kids into internalizing the message. On-screen, they show a stock photo of a crying kid to illustrate that. I was saying that the kid they used for the photo is pretty scary to me, bc a lot of his teeth are gone and his entire face sort of bothers me. Like the uncanny valley but an actual human face lol
The last two boss fights from Avatar: The Last Airbender.
- Aang vs Ozai
- Zuko vs Azula. This one especially. It's so beautiful!
Also the difference in animation of The Clone Wars earlier seasons and the 7th season.
I will say they have to watch the last scene / fight from sozins comet
oooh the final agni kai is the best!
I thought Niko was going to bring up how Disney didn't want to draw the hands, but that took a whole other turn
I thought so too.
I thought it was because you wouldn't be able to see the characters' hands when they were in front of their bodies, as it's all black
That was the weirdest shift I've ever seen
yeah i thought it was something to do with the joints and not wanting to draw those
Revisionism in action
Death Note: the potato chip scene
Ghost in the Shell: Major vs spider tank
The End of Evangelion: the cinematography, camera work and editing during the raid on Nerv or Asuka fighting the eva serie
I will take this chip and eat it.
You've chosen wisely
"I'll take a potato chip and eat it!"
Good taste
Asuka was brutally killed
I've always been fascinated by the "camera" motion in the fight scenes from Cowboy Bebop. It would be cool to hear some professional insight on those.
Totally agreed with you
When he talked about the origin of white gloves in cartoons, it got dark real fast
Valère Hirwa literally
Not so much dark as honest. We can't wish the unpleasant parts of history away, but we can appreciate Max Fleischer's small acts of protest and subversion against the racist elements in society at that time.
@Paul I didnt knew about white gloves
@Paul Not everyone does, epsecially non americans
Wait so mikey black my whole life is a lie
I would love to see you guys go over the animation in Violet Evergarden. Kyoto Animations is truly something.
Violet Evergarden, A Silent Voice, The Magus's Bride and Made in Abyss would make my day if they were on here.
Yes please that would be great if they reviewed those
Breathtaking animation
Kyoto is fantastic. A Silent Voice and Sound! Euphonium were great
@@loonatis ME TO
I love how Nico knows his stuff and asks the right questions. Great Job!
"Redline" has insane animation -- Madhouse comapny has a god tier animators inhouse
I remember thinking, "man, this is a *lot* of slow-mo" while watching the movie only to realize my VLC was stuck on .50x speed
It almost made madhouse go broke
I'd LOVE to see this one done. My bf showed it to me when we first started dating and I kinda rolled my eyes at it thinking it'd be bad but that animation is crazy!
As a kid I watched a lot of old hand animated cartoons. There was one thing that slightly bothered me in a lot of them. Picture the scene (this is a completely fictional scene): five doors, one of which a character is about to come out of. The scene is meant to make us guess which door it will be. Yet, you could always tell which it was going to be because the door that was about to be animated was always in a slightly different colour or with slightly different noise (is that the word?). I assume this was because the whole "set" was just a blank image that they kept throughout the whole scene and only the door that was animated needed to have different pictures. It saves effort. Still, it bothered me that it stood out so much and took away from what was obviously meant to invoke surprise.
How difficult was it to just make them the same color even though they weren't going to be animated, right?
Or in old scooby doo cartoons where you could quite clearly see hidden doors and traps etc. because they were drawn like you said. Always slightly spoiled the surprise factor
I noticed this too, it's the same in a lot of shows, things that don't actually move in the frame blend but then things that are moving or will move are different shades and textures, even if it's the same material or distance or any other context
He mentioned it was because the backgrounds were in watercolor.
Gintama actually makes fun of that by misleadingly making one part of the ground look like it's g gonna move and the character avoiding it, but then one of the painted looking parts moves
Please do some of these:
-Studio Ghibli movies
-Paprika
-Summer Wars
-A Silent Voice
-Cowboy Bebop
-Garden of Words
the "Paprika" line looks like it's out of a shopping list
@@mityakiselev hahahahaha 😂
Damn all the the weebs out there can finally express themselves lol
ONE PUNCH MAN
shut it weeb. Go watch Spirited Away for the six-hundredth time or something.
Into the spider verse. The entire film has such a unique feel of animation where it feels like a comic book.
Mob Psycho 100 has some incredible fight scenes and even the mundane scenes are really lively and animated
If you're gonna keep doing Animators react, Studio Ghibli films are necessary. Also Don Bluth films. I'd love to see what an animator can see about Dragon's Lair.
Ralph Bakshi is underrated
@1betterthanyou1 I'd rather hear a bunch of praise about Akira than how "Avatar is da all time best animated anything ever" by half of the comments lol.
Bad animation: Zelda Wand of Gamelon cutscenes. Even though these are just game cutscenes I do think that they are so bad that I want to know what went wrong when they made it.
they're so bad they're good. but yes id love to see them react to them, those cutscenes are the only thing that make that game bearable
also i think link faces of evil has much funnier animation lol
WELL EXCUUUUUUUUUUUUUSE ME PRINCESS
dinner
game animations are still animation
The scene in Avatar where Katara uses an Earth bending move to block Hama’s water attack...
Jesus, that was awesome.
You guys have to watch the Agni kai between Zuko and Azula in ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’
That and literally the last fight between Aang and the fire lord is amazing.
@@WIFIMakoa both fights are visually stunning, but the final agni kai could work better in the video
Yes !
Satoshi Kon: Paprika opening scene (other movies also okay)
Hayao Miyazaki: any movie cuz they are all amazing
Masaaki Yuasa: most distinct animation I have seen (E.G. Devilman Crybaby, ping pong the animation)
I know Miyazaki is sadly always mentioned when talking about studio Ghibli, but we can't ignore Isao Takahata.
I'm more of fan of his work than Miyzazki, only because his art doesn't stay the same, and he relies more on avant-garde, which I appreciate a little more.
There's also Hiromasa Yonebayashi and Garo Miyazaki. But Miyazaki and Takahata worked together from the start of their careers.
@@aus-li why use the word sadly? You act like it's a bad thing 🧐
The whole paprika movie is nuts and gorgeous, not just the opening scene lol
@@riannlim991 It's not a bad thing.. but a sad thing.
@@riannlim991 Because he never gets mentioned?
There's a living legend by the name of Yutaka Nakamura. A master of movement and pacing
*Yes.* Any Yutaka Nakamura fight scene would be amazing for this series.
Yes
Avatar: the Last Airbender, Food Wars: Shokougeki no Soma (emphasis on THE FOOD), Tangled, Frozen, Moana, Frozen 2!!
Gertie the Dinosaur wasn't the first animation ever. It wasn't even Winsor McCay's first animation - he made Little Nemo in 1911. However, according to Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Nemo_(1911_film). "Gertie was the first film to use animation techniques such as keyframes, registration marks, tracing paper, the Mutoscope action viewer, and animation loops."
Even before that, there were animated films - for example, Pauve Pierrot from 1892 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauvre_Pierrot). Not to mention other non-filmic forms of animation - for example, the phenakistiscope, and the simple flipbook.
I know it's not a cartoon, but Cuphead has incredible hand drawn animations! You guys should definitely talk about them on these videos!
Definitely! Plus it will be a series on Netflix soon enough 👀
Indivisible and Skullgirls are hand animated as well.
My thoughts exactly. Especially seeing that early Max Fliescher work.
@@TheCaliforniaHP max was genius but was burried by walt
@Pablo also don't forget bendy the ink machine
It would be amazing to look at Studio Ghibli movies like Howls Moving Castle, Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away
Attack on titan: Levi and Kenny chase scene
Yes
YES!!
YES!!!!!!!!
Y E S ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Y E S !!!
"Sword of the stranger" probably has the best animated fight scene I have ever seen.
I agree 💯
Gonna watch that film now. Thanks for the suggestion
YUTAPON!!!
The final fight? Or the whole thing, because it's pretty impressive throughout. I would also give a shout out to some of samurai champloo's scenes.
Hands down.
Suggestion: the evolution of the clone wars season throughout the years
Oh word
Yes!
You got my vote
And someone from the studio if they can manage it!
Starting with Season 1, Episode 6 (the first episode made) all the way through to Season 7 (mainly the fight scenes and more "aesthetic" shots from the final season)
if you ever do something like this again, there is a fight in the anime "the seven deadly sins" between the characters "Escanor" and "Meliodas" that is just SO bad.
every attack is like 3 frames to barely pass it off as moving. Many times you dont even see the other character while someone is attacking, because they cover them up with smoke. its hillarious.
here is a link with timestamp to where it begins: th-cam.com/video/MXHkd2QYLJE/w-d-xo.html
its quite late in the series tho, so be warned: spoilers.
ahhhhh yes..... react to this please
Seven deadly sins? More like 7 deadly frames
I think Otomo's defining trait is his sense of cinematography. Even in the Akira manga the panels have a real kinetic quality from one frame to the next
STOPMOTION! Chicken Run, Kubo and the Two Strings, Isle of Dogs! Would love to see insight on this style.
Thanks for the great content!
and any Wallace and Gromit movie.
Nightmare Before Christmas as well!
I remember a time when Chicken Run was always on TV. Would love the guys to react to the animation style there, as well as the Wallace and Gromit movies.
I wanna see Fantastic Mr Fox in that too
Before they did a deal with DreamWorks to make feature films, Aardman Animation used several Commodore Amiga computers in the 90's and early 2000's to play back previous frames of animation, so they could check for errors & make sure their shots lined up smoothly. I think they use Apple Macs now to do that.
Take a look at "Iron Giant" they blend 3d with 2d animation perfectly (also a fantastic movie in general)
the scene where he rages had the coolest weapon design animations
Treasure Planet also does this, but within a single character
I can't watch iron giant anymore because of Cartoon Network airing it nonstop in a marathon when I was a kid. I did like it the first time just not on repeat haha.
Rubber hose animation is the most versatile and history rich animation it’s so nice to see its influence.
I hope they watch "Kimi no Na wa"
As someone who wants a future in animation, I’m very glad you’re doing this.
You should watch The Thief and the Cobbler and look into the story behind it. It's such an interesting yet sad story. Richard Williams was a genius, rip.
Aw fuck, that movie is amazing. Thx for reminding me. Need to see it again.
@@StrumpGunnar I suggest watching the Recobbled Cut
You guys have to check out “Redline” - animated with a crazy amount of detail!
The music is also a piece of art on it's own.
Redline is fucking beautiful
Redline is so difficult to look at, not that it is ugly or anything, but damn there is so much to absorb in each scene.
@@Onimirare watch it multiple times?
This
You already know this, but you have to do Spider-Verse, that movie is gorgeous
Fr
They already did that
They already did that movie on one of the react to cgi ones,
SomeRandom60%er whaaaaat in which video?
Gorgeously over rated maybe
Anime: Demon Slayer
Episode: 19
When Kamado Tanjiro slashes the sword in a circle and beheads Rui.
That scene is the best one out there. The animation is super smooth
You obviously haven’t seen any other shows.
@@cb7694 oof, here comes some professional in the field.
Have seen many, but the best animation shall always be credited to either the movies by Shinkai, or the animes produced by Ufotable.
What's better than that in your opinion, sir?
@@cb7694 why do u think that,mr expert? Ive seen quite a lot of anime and I can agree with him on that ufotable has some of the best animation in the business
the amount of love ufotable poured into kimetsu no yaiba was borderline unbelievable. i mean they've always been great, but they took things up a whole new level with this one. episode 19 was incredible, no doubt, but a probably equal amount of thought and effort went into animating many of the big fights in the anime, too. despite having been spoiled by the insane quality of action animation in recent years, from naruto to shingeki no kyojin, boku no hero academia, one punch man, mob psycho 100, en en no shouboutai, kimetsu no yaiba brought an almost entirely different, instantly recognisable visual style to anime action. props must be given to ufotable for pulling this off the way they did
Nop. Anime is not is the same realm as what they are talking
The bike slide from Akira is such an iconic shot I’m surprised they didn’t touch on it.
There's so much great animation in that film that you could just post up their reaction to the entire two-hour run-time. For me personally, the nightmare toys which come to life (made out of other toys massed together) always stood out. Such an incredibly complicated thing to animate.
Akira was the first Anime to come to America. It’s basically the root of inspiration for every anime out right now.
Lotte Reiniger: pioneer of silhouette animation in the 20’s. “Prince of Egypt” by Dreamworks. “Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” on Nickelodeon.
+1 for Lotte Reiniger
Suggestion: look at the animation communities on TH-cam, there has been a whole generation of animators that got their start here on this platform. It would be worth it to look at the good and bad, young and old that is here.
A small list to give examples (others can probably list hundreds more):
-Cow of the Wild (by tribbleofdoom),
-Guy Collins Animation,
-the Steam Source Engine animations (TF2 characters and gmod stuff)
-The White Wold with the Blue Eyes: by SumikoOneeSan
-NiftyAppleStarsArt(warrior cats related)
-Harry101UK (portal/2 fan animations)
-MinuteMinecraftParodies
-CRANBERSHER (stop motion)
-Element Animation
-Arin and Ross from the GameGrumps
-Dawn Somewhere
-Simon’s Cat
-Overly Sarcastic Productions (more like storyboard animatics but for literature and history learning)
There’s also the thesis/student films coming out from the Animation Workshop which have also gone viral
UMAMI's web series of animation - that's a surreal style
That’s actually a really good idea
How are you gonna list TH-cam animators and only include Arin and Ross from the Newgrounds era? The Newground animators are the pinnacle of animation on youtube and are what made the animation community what it is today. Oney, psychicpebbles, Rice Pirate, Harry Partridge, the list goes on and on.
PLUS there are communities of people who make animatics of songs and musicals. Szin is one of my favourites.
Man I’d be so happy if they managed to get OSP on here.
I really like this series as a beginner animator, it gives good insight on the industry and how different types of animations work
You guys should check out redline. the film took 7 years to make and each frame is hand drawn
Bad animation: seven deadly sins, Meliodas vs escanor . I've spelled that wrong
You spelled everything right except for spelled
the manga has better animation
@@amihere383 i bit ironic but thanks for telling me
@Turner Marius i put off reading the manga so i wouldnt know what happened and yeah i hated that, it was way better in the manga
@@HerculesSkills i agree with that but some times it can be better
I suggest the film “Klaus” it is a very new 2d animated movie, that is so good it looks CG, I was genuinely not sure which one it was until I looked it up
Megamind has this really cool moment that's not just effect (destroying skyscrapers, MY GOD THE PARTICLE EFFECTS AT THAT DISTANCE) but use of camera; in the final climatic fight, Tighten carries the upper part of a building tower, and when he turns it it hits part of the next building; you ~feel~ this hit so hard, with just this slight camera work
Bad animation suggestions:
Food Fight
The Christmas Tree
The Little Panda Fighter
Titanic: The Legend Goes On
You can't mention bad animated films and not say "Joshua And The Promised Land"
I really want to see a ghibli film on here, especially one with incredible backgrounds like Nausicaa or Mononoke
You can literally go up there to the search bar right and find thousands of videos deconstructing the animation of those and the studio. I want to see more TV anime discussed.
@@CaseNumber00 yeah but we don't have a video of CORRIDOR doing it
Yesss Nausicaa. My favorite ghibli film doesn't get the recognition it deserves.
I really want to know about the demon from Mononoke

Good animation: “Avatar: The Last Airbender” the final agni kai
Yesss
I want Aang and Zuko with the ancient firebenders
Yessir
That was so beautiful!!!
Bon Goaie foolish mortal i have that link memorized
We so need to have this guy back for more. He was so informative and explains it all so well!
id like "Over the garden wall" to be covered, its a great little series with a gorgeous style :D
Bad Animation: The Seven Deadly Sins season 3 Meliodas vs Escanor .
Yes please
Oh god the irony
Bad animation from the current year
Ugh son of a gun
YES YES YE- wait, wrong anime . . . But season 3 was very bad sometimes
Or DBS during the beginning and resurrection F
You have to look at some of Miyazaki's work. Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, The Wind Rises etc.
masterpieces. facts
Yess the animation and story are so brilliant
Water scene(s) from Ponyo (2008)
animes:
attack on titan
naruto
naruto weird animation pain vs naruto
hunter x hunter
There is a fuckton of terrible animation and art in Naruto. The Pain fight actually has sick animation. But it’s the art that is weird and doesn’t match the rest of the show.
They should look at Batman the animated series
Fun fact is that instead of being animated on white paper, Batman The Animated Series was drawn on black paper which is why everything looked so dark and black
and any of the animated batman or DC animated movies
Yes.
That would segue nicely into showing off Samurai Jack, too, since Genndy Tartakovsky worked on Batman TAS before that.
@@gaspump I was going to suggest samurai Jack as well.
You want bad animation? Titanic: The Legend Goes On, worst I've ever seen.
A legend? It was only a legend? I thought it was a real boat that people actually went on and died. - Jontron
IT'S PARTY TIME
What about ratatoing
Don’t just suggest a nuke, you have to ease them in.

Animation can’t get much worse than the “twinkle nora rock me” dance scene
It's not much worse than the rest of the show.
"Animation" is a misleading term for that show. Let's call it "powerpoint presentation".
You could take any scene from Twinkle nora rock me and put it in a bad animation video.
I was just about to comment about "twinkle nora rock me" so here, have my thumb up.
Seriously the whole studio and creator of the "show" and the whole aspect of knowing the animation budget was used to employ a cute girl to cosplay that nora character to fulfill his dream of having his OC with him on his motorcycle, is a very special kind of business plan...
Tell that to Berserk 2016
yes i love that they acknowledged the history of those early animations. it's something people don't like to talk about, but it's important to know. we can learn both what to do and what not to do from history and grow better from it. and it was addressed immediately instead of waltzed around. thank you for being straight forward and giving people a chance to learn.
Except that the gloves didn't come from minstrel shows. It came from the fact that Mickey's ungloved hands were barely visible in Steamboat Willie and so a lot of his emoting through the hands was lost. They needed to fix this problem and the only logical way to do that was to either redesign the character, and they chose the simplest thing to do which was to add gloves to the outfit.
Attack on Titan, Avatar: The Last Airbender and Love Death and Robots please 🥴
They already watch love death and robots
m.th-cam.com/video/_kBKcgoy178/w-d-xo.html
And Wakfu!
We gotta add Mob Psycho 100 to the mix of great animations. Plus Deku vs Todoroki from My Hero Academia.
As bad animation? Demon Slayer? Simply because they like to flip back and forth between 3d animation and 2d animation. Their 2D animations are beautiful and so can their 3D animations, but sometimes when they flip, it's so jarring.
For attack on Titan u should look at Levi vs. kenney, I think it’s the best animated thing of all time
Violet Evergarden is so visually stunning, definitely one of the finest animations out there.
th-cam.com/video/0CJeDetA45Q/w-d-xo.html
This trailer. Oh my god. It's so good.
Also they could offer some insight on the use of CG in animation. Pretty sure her hands were full CG
Oh lord. I wish, I REALLY WISH, KyoAni was still what it once was. But imbeciles be imbeciles and we're all denied nice things. KyoAni, we're still wishing you the best and are with you on your recovery!
You can literally take a random frame from it and use it as a wallpaper
@@gobblenater her hands actually hand drawn, the typewriter definitely cg though th-cam.com/video/Ux9u5Zmi3zI/w-d-xo.html
"It's shameful, but it _is._ There wouldn't be modern animation without these influences."
I wish more people would take this perspective on negative history instead of trying to sweep it under the rug or destroy it.
I wish to man.
Finally! I've been hoping you'd add this to the list! I've already shown the VFX artists react to my animation classes.
Animation I’d like to see covered in this series would be basically anything from Studio Ghibli, from the complex animation scenes, to how they incorporate character through their extremely consistent and beautiful animation. You guys could also cover things like Ghost in the Shell and Cowboy Bebop, and dissect the action direction and animation techniques that go into creating that type of motion. Other things you could discuss/react to are the different methods of animating such as Flash animation, the traditional hand drawn stuff you touched upon, and the more modern version of hand drawn animation.
You should definitely watch The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness, and 10 Years with Hayao Miyazaki. You’ll get most of your questions answered with Studio Ghibli.
VoidX Thank you for the rec, I just bought it lol. I do, however, want to see Corridor Crew give their own critique/insight on stuff like this too. It’s always nice to get multiple perspectives and see how people who consume the media interpret the creatives behind it.
Jon Trinque There’s nothing wrong with that!
And I’m glad you’ll check them out :)
I love two perfectly animated scenes in Disney's Tarzan
1. when Clayton dies (they don't directly show it, of course). They convey the impact in four strikes: the vine stretches, the machete hits the ground, Tarzan hits the ground, thunder+rain starts falling with the shadow of Clayton's hanging body.
2. when Tarzan spear-cuts Sabor (the leopard), she looks at her arm and back at Tarzan and snarls. He snarls back.
And since we're talking Disney.
The Beast vs the wolves is oscar worthy stuff.
That Beauty in the Best scene was my favorite as a kid. I re-enacted that in the snow all the time, all by myself :)
It lost Best Picture to it's only competition that year, _The Silence of the Lambs._

ohth-cam.com/video/oT6aLBBRhGA/w-d-xo.html
Clayton is seen hanging with a broken neck as a shadow when the thunder strikes
@@SomeHarbourBastard thanks for pointing it out! I had that information all wrong. The Silence of the Lambs is great!
A few I'd recommend looking at for good animation:
- Samurai Jack, especially Jack vs. The Ninja. An intense duel entirely told in monochrome black and white, with no shades of grey. It is gorgeous.
- Don Bluth movies. Gorgeous fluid expressive animation that during the 80s, was kinda pushing the technical envelope of what animation could do. Rotoscoping, backlighting, he did it all.
- Klaus. One of the most beautiful animated films ever made. Animated in hand drawn 2D, but shaded and lit in a way that makes it looks almost 3D.
- Green Eggs and Ham. A Netflix TV series that is animated almost as beautifully and smoothly as a big budget 2D Disney film... Partially because it apparently had the budget to match :p
That samurai jack episode is genius
loving these animator series. Eric is very insightful and well-spoken.
We need to have Cuphead in this animators react, every frame of the game is hand drawn and is really well animated.
Please react to "Prince of Egypt" - It genuinely has some of the best animation I have ever seen.
Yes I love this movie!
The parting of the Red Sea comes to mind
The music and animation made that movie an underrated Masterpiece.
@@mryoungandbrave1 Yeah especially the opening scene with "Deliver Us"
Definitely the light scene when he's in the cave with God - or the water scene!!
Good animation suggestions:
- Patlabor 2 opening sequence
- Ghost in the shell film
-. Wall-E space dance
- The End of Evangelion Asuka vs Eva series
Bad Animation suggestions:
- Food Fight (of course)
- Dragon Ball Super bad animation episode 5
- Twinkle Nora Rock Me (no really, *you must* cover this)
Kubo from Laika
Also bad animation-the new Ghost in the Shell 2045 or at least the beginning. I couldnt get past how corny it was after having watched all of Stand Alone Complex 10 times.
Also 80s toy-selling commercials-so many cycles!!!
Seconding Twinkle Nora Rock Me. Kenny Lauderdale did an execellent video on that one, for those curious.
th-cam.com/video/RuZ_pe5GFLA/w-d-xo.html
I was thinking the same about Asuka vs Eva series.
@@asentientjdam519 Kenny is a Legends, of course I know it from his videos
9:02 That whole segment was fascinating af! I could spend an hour listening to this guy explain the history of cartoons and the sociological context and activism behind them... The stories behind the cartoons...
I'm sure a lot of people have been waiting for Netflix's "Love, Death and Robots" review.
BIG facts
Yes!
I N D E E D
YES
Yes! Such a great show!
Would love to see you guys react to an anime movie called "Redline" from 2009. It has some crazy visuals and the entire movie is in 60fps!
That movie is pure animation porn.
@@TheRyujinLP Bruh
Was about to suggest this! the artists capture movement and momentum so perfectly.
Ooo yess
Redline is great
I want them to see stuff like Zuko vs Azula, Goku vs Jiren, stuff that is just beautiful to watch
Lol no dragon ball super has trash animations. If you pause it at anytime during a filler animation they look super jarring. It has sharp lines and pretty colors but that's it.
@@michaelb2226 because its early Anime. It looks so janky. I'd like to see some on other things like the animation on the Poker game in Part 3 of JoJo. Or maybe the battle. Maybe Chivalry of a Failed Knight anime, the fights in that are hella good animated.
@@sireraphael5695 Beautiful
@@michaelb2226 the broly movie was beautiful, but the rest of super was a huge let down
@@michaelb2226 maybe but you cant judge an animation just by the fact that some still shots may look choppy. For example many people tend to prejudge shows like mob psycho 100 because the artstyle makes doesnt appeal to them at first glance but when the whole thing is in motion you just have an eyegasm. The whole point of an animation is how it looks in motion after all.
9:52 I find it extremely unlikely you did not know the answer to this, but I appreciate you asking for the audience to learn
