Whaaat, I just got this exact advent calendar from my grandma, and let me just say, the chocolate tastes terribble 😂😭

I love vintage style illustrations, and unfortunately, I’d probably pick that advent calendar up not realising it was AI (until I looked at it closely). 😭😭 I love how your illustration turned out, it looks so fun! ✨✨

amazing video!! this is really upsetting for many artists im sure.

AI proved the existence of the human soul by showing us what art looks like without one.

Its so horrible to see this, especially from such a big company when they can clearly afford it, also cocalcolas christmas card was completely Ai which is just disgusting.

AI ruind christmas is the title in case they change it

okay i got worried when you said you were gonna redraw it bc i think the ethics of redrawing ai are debatable but the way you immediately, as you say, made it more dynamic and gave it more life feels right. too many ai redraws are JUST one to one copies.

I can’t believe Lidl did this, I thought they were for the people😭

Toothless being shiny afterwards from the water is a nice detail!

Omg I love thisss

very good video!

I wish i could be as good as you 😊

I'm being a ghost for hollween!

Or Is It...

Throwable

I love the reflections in the puddles and the detail, the shark is so cute, the rain makes me feel happy 😊

My fav Halloween animation I’ve seen so far

Donald Duck is my favorite cartoon character of all time. I was ecstatic Disney released another classic short. I can't disagree with your opinions. The 2024 version is a significant downgrade from the 1940s but I'm just happy we got something. I personally don't blame the animators. Disney is burning all of their money on "masterpieces' such as the Acolyte and Snow White . The corporate heads running the company have no idea how to continue Walt's Vision.

I was hoping for something like Goofy's how to hook up your home theater, but Donald's new cartoon wasn't clever, well animated, or funny

Redeeming qualities: * No wokeness * Seems to have animators trained off of OUAS * At least they did 2D animation at all... much longer than the 2D elements of something like Wish.

You keep showing me the dam Couch and rug i not following the series and I don’t really remember the older ones but I don’t really see the point he is trying to make here …. That the background doesn’t feel as natural? And no I didn’t watch the whole video because the couch bored me 😅 But getting back to topic just like any let’s say “remastered “ it’s not your typical remaster comparing the two as such … Just like the old dbz the computer generated animation was far lacking compared to the old hand draw animation I mean nowadays it’s crisper ,sharper more vibrant colours, reall it’s more appealing to the eye And it’s probably just nolstagia that makes us feel like the older animation (objectively worse) is better ,when it’s probably not the case at all And the same applies here most new viewers would most likely prefer the more digitalised crisp version Like I said objectively without any bias. One is a superior animation….. It’s sad to see handdraw animation fade out especially being a 90s kid and it being most of my early years watching tv It’s just not realistic for them to handraw animation anymore And why would they when it really only appeals to us older generations

😡💢💢That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard you say! You SHOULDN'T give up on your faith in Disney so easily! I didn't lose faith in Disney because I 100% believe that they CAN save themselves! And if that doesn't work, then I'm going to make it work by helping them change for the better! It's very foolish of you to just give up when there's still hope for Disney! Don't lose faith in Disney! It's too early for that! We're going to abolish the woke agenda and bring creativity and imagination back to Disney! That's a promise!

After all these years Donald is a character, and he gets the bucket tool background.

I didn’t think the short was that bad.

I miss classic 2d. Disney has betrayed its fans

The sad thing is you can tell just how much they needed to compensate for all the bullshit they've put out by how rushed the animation looks. Donald's facial and physical expressions were good, but they sat there and rushed the background and settings art simply to appease the audiences for calling them out. It's as though they thought a rushed 3 minute short with stale animation and dull grounds would make up for all the lazy 3D garbage they've been putting out and we'd just accept it. Disney is not what it used to be; they stopped caring about making stories, stopped caring about making art, and stopped caring about us.

Disney should hire you as a background artist instead. I know you only put that drawing time-lapse into the video in order to have something to look at while listening to what you're saying, but your sketch-like style suits Disney's shorts better than the current minimalist and effortless aesthetic they're going for. I mean, in general, I have no problems with that art style, but it doesn't match Donald Duck's more expressive animations, which makes it feel out of place.

I made a video recently talking about how I miss theatrical releases of 2D animated films. This Donald Clip looks cheap as hell. Looks like they barely tried.

It really saddening to this what Disney has become, I grew up watching the older shorts and I was amazed the amount of details and effort it toke to make a short. The background feels too simple and hardly has any details almost like it was made at the last minute , the only thing carrying the short is Donald but from what I heard their just reusing his voice which takes away a short’s originality. Disney had truly lost its magic .

rest in peace Disney studio & parks anytime soon

is the backgrounds literally the only thing that makes this short "disappointing"

That recent Donald Duck short was fine, the problem was the backgrounds who felt basic.

I will NEVER be a Disney Apologist. But honestly, if you cannot celebrate ANY improvement in their quality, then you're no longer a voice worth listening to.

This was my thought exactly while watching it. The moment I saw how flat it was, my excitement sank instantly. They clearly don’t have anymore artists who understand the beauty of the original cartoons from the (late) 1920s - (early) 1960s. Back then they had thick shading, visible sketch/linework, saturated colors, palpable depth, clutter/life (meaning the spaces felt lived in by more than our lead characters), and most importantly: a passionate artist’s vision for an engaging location the cartoon takes place in. The new cartoon (while I still appreciate the… effort…) was extremely flat, empty… almost dead… and it felt like something made on Microsoft paint. Extremely disappointing… Especially because I grew up wanting more than anything to be hired by Disney, to work on more cartoons and animated movies that harkened back to the spirit and energy of the original Disney aesthetic. But through the years they’ve abandoned their 2D animated roots, and now require computer animation skills for 97% of their projects… it really shows just how many passionate 2D animators they have left… which clearly isn’t many..

Yeesh, that's the blandest backgrounds I've seen in a long time, even the cartoons from "Mickey Mouse Works" and "The House of Mouse" does a better job with them. 🤢🤮

It’s sad to see that they kinda lost their roots

i love this

Mind you SpongeBob has literally hand painted their backgrounds for 25 years. If Nickelodeon can do it so can they

The short itself felt like a sub-par test animation of Mickey Mouse Works.

Just when ya think Disney couldn’t set the bar any lower… And with as much money as they have… or perhaps had…

I do agree with your points but overall I really did enjoy the short and thought Disney still kept the same charm they did in the early years. (That’s just my personal opinion)

Disney devolved because of new management, political correctness and budget cuts. Walt would turn in his grave if he could see what's become of his legacy. Old 2D animators were layed off when computers started stepping in to do the animation. Sure, Disney has made some good stuff still, like the short Mickey cartoons and some of the new Ducktales episodes. But overall I'd say the quality took a nose dive somewhere after 2000. The last good movie Disney released was The Princess and The Frog. A movie I still haven't seen, because I'm saving it for a rainy day. I'd love however to see them return to their original art styles, like how they animated Quack Pack, Darkwing Duck, Tailspin and so on. Those were the days.

Oddly enough, the "How NOT to Draw Donald Duck" short had more effort put into it, and the background was just real world objects.

Who let Augustus gloop cook 💀

dear baby child, those are 1930's and 1940's shorts. xD " 80's " hahaha, forgive me. I totally agree with your statement; it dropped the ball.

I also think the exaggeration was lacking. Nothing had that real animated feel cuz everything felt real in how he moved, not cartoony
