8 Inspirations for Grim Fandango

[@Artemisio987]

excuse me..... that manny mug........... i need it...

[@JosephAlanMeador]

Ahaha! My thoughts exactly. Where can I get it lol

[@indeimaus]

I love this game so much

[@tayeb7031]

that's not on fire!

[@dogukanpolat7097]

Grim Fandango is one of the best games ever with its dialogues, characters and places. Top point of black humor. As 90 percent of today's games continue to be a soulless products that doesn't make any sense other than high graphics, the value of grim fandango is increasing at a faster rate every year it gets older. Thank you for this masterpiece.

[@Dupcuk]

grim fandango favori 2. oyunum

[@Herbert2892]

grim fandango and twinsen's odyssey 2 will be forever my fav games

[@Squival138]

Tim you can't hold up those Manny Calavera mugs and not have a link to buy them

[@The_D_ray]

Tim commentary never fails to make me laugh. Also, I can't believe I can go out and say "You know Manuel Calavera has the Adidas logo on his head?"

[@FairPlayGaming]

This is by far one of the most interesting commercials for a video game.

[@danparsons1423]

I'm surprised you didn't mention Pixar's Coco, which was clearly an inspiration for Grim. Just as Inside Out inspired Psychonauts. Wait.

[@johnnyw525]

It's not like ex-LucasArts employee Steve Purcell words at Pixar or anything, either :) (Love Steve Purcell)

[@newchrisusa]

Tim responded to my tweet about this. He said it's coincidence! They just drew on the same source material, he said.

[@Lattamonsteri]

@@yao4738 You need to read the little word on the third line, dude xD

[@mushie8447]

Grim fandango 2 : Something's even more rotten in the Land of Eternal Rest....... Still dreaming :-)

[@VMSTZ]

Grim Fandango is, for me, the best game of LucasArts

[@billMcLatentspace]

No question

[@braeuerufg3381]

indeed

[@-jobrocodwawz-6226]

The fact that double fine cares about their fans so much that they put their heart and soul into every product and share these sorts of videos is why they are my favourite devs of all time (however they are tied with halo 2 era bungie lol)

[@goo3r]

Grim remains one of my favorite games. So glad to see it continually getting love.

[@inigo137]

Muchas gracias a la gente mejicana por inspirar con vuestra cultura tantas formas diversas de arte, desde libros y películas, hasta videojuegos. La cultura crea cultura, y eso es algo a celebrar.

[@mjp152]

One of the finest examples of "video games as art" - every little part (plot, music, graphics, voice acting etc.) is at the same time completely distinct and yet a part of a cohesive whole. Absolute masterpiece.

[@Angelfish757]

Now we have Psychonauts 2 can we have an open world Grim Fandango, please?

[@viniciusosorio2550]

OMG Grim Fandango was one of the first game I played on PC and is one of my favorites of all time. Thank you so much because this game opened so many doors about culture, music and meaning in my life.

[@arthurcarezzato5360]

Grim Fandango is such a masterpiece!!! I loved this game, played when its first release in my old PC and it was one of my favorites games of all time!

[@YorkJonhson]

Still one of my favorite adventure games ever. I'll always remember that whole night club chapter of the story. It was such a clear loving homage to Casablanca, while simultaneously having so much fun with the characters and unique art design that I still always admired it as its own thing. It's cool to keep learning more about the inspirations and thought processes behind the project after all these years.

[@mtf-epislon9555]

God imagine a Grim fandango tv show or feature film

[@supamanlova9250]

Just finished playing for the first time what a great game the dialogue story and mood are all amazing! Had a blast, some puzzles really hard and had to use a walkthrough but still made for a wonderful experience

[@darthtool8131]

The MANNY MUGS!!... you must release these as merch... must have!!!

[@Hysteria98]

I hope all the people behind this wonderful game still have bloomed careers as a result and have found continued succcess under their fantastic abilities. This artwork is unforgettable.

[@MushroomTherapy28]

One of the best game i've ever played to! Timeless classic!!

[@WillmotionAnimation]

My favourite game, great to hear the things that inspired it. Grim fandango inspired my 3rd year animation final film at university

[@TheMylittletony]

got a link?

[@olebrules]

Where can I get one of those Manny coffee mugs?

[@wertsmith69]

at the end of the world

[@TheArtkaw]

There's nothing at the end of the world except a coral mine.

[@wertsmith69]

​@@TheArtkaw That's at the edge of the world, there's a rack for mugs at the end.

[@TylerJBrown192]

Thank you so much Tim, the old LucasArts team, and the current Double Fine team for all of your contributions to this game, past and present. It really means a lot to a lot of people, myself included!

[@Nnoo1987]

Grim Fandango is to this day my favorite adventure game

[@davidspackagelp]

Grim Fandango. One of the most touching and beautiful games I've ever played.

[@gravestoneXD2]

If you like the latin Pulp vibe of Grim Fandango you really should treat yourself with the Novels of Paco Ignacio Taibo II. Especially his Hector Belascoarán Shayne novels

[@ΠατροκλοςΓεωργιοςΟικονομοπουλο]

Which one is the best?

[@mtf-epislon9555]

Where can I find these?

[@mchepen]

I NEED THAT MUG also that was awesome. i wanna go through all of those books and stuff. love grim so much

[@Level-ts7xl]

i never get tired of these "making of" videos

[@fragmentalstew]

omg I love this so much. No words can describe.

[@Renamoose]

Beastie boys known to let the beat..... DROP

[@ibleebinU]

I remember seeing the 'coming soon' ads in the PC Gamer mag. I thought, well that looks weird. Turns out to be my favorite adventure game of all time. I have the original soundtrack cd that came with it also. Every time I play this game, I click all the dialogue. It's just too good not to! Now I would toss out all of my coffee mugs for one like yours!

[@matheusrd]

The best and most remarkable game I've ever played. Thank you for your work of art. cheers from brazil ♥

[@johnnylongplay4440]

Grim Fandango truly is one of the best games I ever played. I never played a game witch art style and music touched me so much, I would get back to it as often as I do. This video just makes me want to replay the game for the n-th time, thank you!

[@zefcookie4501]

So many interesting influences and ingredients to such an awesome adventure game... Low-key waiting for Psychonauts in a semi-patient, semi-passive aggressive mindset ;p

[@katyornok63]

Awesome video, thank you for the efforts put in to share. Greatly appreciated seeing this (24 years after first playing the PC game!)

[@princeapoopoo5787]

i love how a video game featuring scaring away skeleton pigeons with balloon 'animals' of robert frost as a puzzle was heavily inspired by casablanca.

[@kainenable]

I love grim fandango so much.

[@videogameobsession]

Man.. and I always though you has just ripped of Pixar's Coco and called it a day. ;)

[@rafaelsuarez230]

Thank you so much Mr Schafer. Always remember that story

[@Nathan-gs5tw]

Really cool! Just started playing for the first time. City of lost children is one of my favourite movies so I can't wait to see which parts were inspired by it. I actually watched the film partly because i knew that it inspired the classic fallout games which are some of my favourites

[@firetaco1]

If you by any chance read this, please make another! I adore this game so much, the music, the characters. Magical

[@thebeerwolf666]

Grim was such in inspiration to me as a kid. Lucas Arts luckily filled my childhood. Thank you all.

[@zacharydetrick7428]

so much respect for you TIM and all the rest at DOUBLE FINE!!!!

[@Snozzberry_Slush]

This game is the game that made me realize my birthday November 2nd fell on a truly amazing and Unique holiday.

[@knot_monkey7857]

Possibly squeal after the success of psychonaut 2 ? Also where psychonaut 2 ?

[@cheesebearger4187]

Now do one for Psychonauts!

[@TailedCarpet]

Where the hell can I get that mug

[@JosephAlanMeador]

Seriously! I have to have it.

[@wertsmith69]

at the end of the world

[@dougthemoleman]

This will always be one of my favorite games of all time. Thank you, Tim, for my childhood.

[@Hadoukeneater]

This is great! Thank you Tim! We met twice at PSX once in 2016 and the next in 2017! You signed my copy of Psychonauts and Brutal Legend, I was hoping to get Grim Fandango signed this year but unfortunately PSX won’t happen this year. You and Double Fine are a huge inspiration to me and I hope that we can meet for a third time some day. They say don’t meet your heroes but I say go for it, you were very nice to me and made me want to pursue my dreams. Thanks again Tim!

[@AliIKarimi]

Love? Love is for the living... and for Grim Fandago. I've been playing games all my life but there's two that I love with all my heart: Planescape Torment and Grim Fandango.

[@Stitico1269]

The two are also my favourite games... both addresses the topic of death (or the lack of it) in such a different and complex manner, that they compensate for each other. And now I want to start from the Mortuary again...

[@TheJ0k0r50]

... has to be more stories to tell in this universe. Please, Tim!!

[@nothing2069]

Honestly before i played Grim fandango when it first released on Ps4. I never thought that it would end up being even better than the Monkey Island games and i'm a huge fan of Monkey Island.

[@maxtroy]

This franchise needs to be rebooted … genuinely don’t understand why cult classic game sit collecting dust!!! Soooo much potential to expand the world

[@JaneXemylixa]

Between Discworld Noir and Grim Fandango, do I even _have_ to watch Casablanca anymore to see what the fuss is about? xD

[@moldypizza]

I think Pixar's Coco owes a lot to Grim Fandango.

[@BoundlessDrop]

Best game ever. Thanks for doing this video! Brought back some great memories playing this.

[@Lattamonsteri]

Rarely does a game's mood and atmosphere capture my imagination like Grim Fandango did. :P Granted, I only got to play it this year since it was popping up on Steam and I figured: "oh yea it's that scary skeleton game i remember seeing as a child in a gaming program (i think it was a review of it)", but I think Manny and friends are gonna haunt me for the rest of my life. In a good way :D And who knows, maybe I'll bump into Glottis one day in afterlife.

[@RonnieBarzel]

I’m legitimately shocked Disney didn’t arrange some kind of cross-promotion with this and “Coco,” either for its theatrical run or debut on home video.

[@timmyt1717]

Tim's beard is gone, I'm officially scared. ^O^ But really love the shout-out s that continue to pour in through these old games. While I was only ever fortunate enough to get my hand on the PS2 version of Psychonauts, its a really blast to learn about these older games as I slowly discover them for a first time. Can't wait to see what comes next from you guys in the near future. ^=^ Also, amazing mentions of what made this game, the music especially! And now I really want to check out that Sweet Smell Of Success movie. Great video here, Tim!

[@Ageratos-Henosis]

Thanks for announcing this awesome game for Xbox recently 👍😎

[@ivanmastrandrea5482]

Never knew that Bioforge was an inspiration !

[@maxbouvatte]

I just got the remastered soundtrack on vinyl, sounds really good lots of tracks I don’t remember hearing in the game. Good recording too

[@sbaltys]

One of the greatest video games ever made.

[@AntonMonster]

Finished this game today, I cried at the end. Miss this game already 😢😢😢

[@Benjiman20]

I played it on my ps vita, thanks for not ignoring that platform. I love to play adventure games on it on the go. :)

[@donjuan1384]

Im ready for psychonauts 2!

[@Wladislav]

I learned something about Grim Fandango _and_ the Beastie Boys!

[@iainreekiecouk]

I always thought the tri-brow was lifted from Mickey Mouse's gloves.

[@greed6703]

I got a crush on this game

[@historiclift27]

Love this game. Had the original version box and all bought it brand new. Still have the travel guide manual too.

[@Zorklis]

Thanks Double fine and Tim for this interesting video.

[@hazardoushumanoid6804]

wow 8 inspirations...pretty cool *Tim pulls out Switch* PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[@kamealex]

I beat the game today for the second time in my life. First one was when it came out. Why did it take me this long to replay it? Masterpiece.

[@samvandermeer7735]

Tim is the coolest guy.

[@FabrizioBettinetti]

One of the best games ever

[@Kroniee]

Cant wait for the sequel!

[@dupuis2020]

hope you guys do this for your other games, this was great!

[@jonathannickoson5000]

Just bought and beat the game on the Switch. So fun!! I love the worlds you create.

[@sjables00]

More videos like this please! So enlightening!

[@thebeerwolf666]

Grim was such in inspiration to me as a kid. Lucas Arts luckily filled my childhood. Thank you all. (I also got to be the like between 999 and 1k )

[@Yeen666]

Awesome video dude. I love this game.

[@artbookmania2917]

Please! You must create a physical artbook for this masterpiece!

[@MisHapMusic]

Tim, please convince Disney into a deal to make Monkey Island 3a with Ron and David, get the old band back together and make the true sequel to MI2.

[@ectofriend]

I got my hands on the 20th anniversary edition from Iam8bit. So happy to finally own my favorite game on physical.

[@FlippySuper]

Cool! Hopefully you do these for other games you made

[@ujustgotdunkedon4523]

Juan Don Nadie I feel you

[@pimpinspice]

Double fine keeps me happy

[@theguardian8317]

Well, I’m sure you’ve seen flying spiders and flaming beavers, but trust me, it gets worse! You see, I’ve been to the edge of the world and back…

[@kornermaster793]

I have a grim fandango shirt time to wear it!

[@pryebloo63]

Thhis game needs a full remake!

[@Alianger]

Cool, I wish more devs would do stuff like this.

[@angeldavid1168]

Pura cultura, saludos desde México 🖤☠️

[@KGhaleon]

Best adventure game ever made.

[@tenchuu007]

So I'm playing for the first time and I'm stuck on the balcony trying to throw the tie line...

[@jorgesblog8017]

Haha seriously

[@eS201Frost]

Hermoso! señor Tim Schafer

[@giacomopiccinini9157]

The beard, Tim. DON’T. SHAVE. THE. BEARD. Ps. Just done playing Grim Fandango for the first time and totally loved it

[@missakhaladjian]

Can be made into an animation movie

[@RevaliHeeHo]

Yes, pretty please. I would love to see that.

[@tactical_philanthropy]

Grim 2. When? Please, Lord.

[@trooperheinz5697]

Wow!So damn good! Where can we get the mug?
