A Bedtime Story (Official Animated Music Video)

[@DeepBlueInk]

BUG! THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN FOR INVITING ME TO ANIMATE ANOTHER *AMAZING* SONG OF YOURS. I have not stopped thinking about these two bears for the last few months. Thank you for what you have given us all.

[@BugHunter]

Dream team strikes again

[@peterdafox]

Thank you for giving our beautiful bears corporeal form!

[@Ancusohm]

Great work on the animation!

[@TRquiet]

I discovered Bug Hunter through DeepBlueInk, and I’ve been thoroughly delighted by you both ever since.

[@webbowser8834]

I am thrilled this was the one you got commissioned to animate. Thank you for bringing such a great song to life the way only you can.

[@TheSkullivan12]

“They’d go from two rugged bears looking for a good home in the woods to looking like two bear rugs on the wood floor of a Home Goods” is an *incredible* bit of wordplay.

[@schizophrenicandroid]

I know, there's just so many layers to it!

[@MoonPatch]

Not to let it overshadow "these two bears are cold and hungry cus food prices have jumped across the hibernation"

[@HomeoftheWilt17]

No matter how many times I listen to this song, the 'I'm leaving it in!' after BearBNB still makes me smile the goofiest smile.

[@Canonicallycreative]

Right? I always wonder if that was organic sound from the recording booth bc it’s never listed in the lyrics! Either way it’s adorable!

[@Derpy_Crow]

Same this entire song is amazing

[@1g5efj7t]

Its like Neighbor guy makes me giggle every time

[@Alsarnia]

Bwahaha! I was so immersed in the bear argument that I forgot it was a story someone was telling to someone else. That end was fantastic!!

[@BugHunter]

You’re not alone! Most people forget it’s a frame story around “bearbnb” 😂

[@FlashOfAsh]

the end of the animation doesn't say well for their camping trip or the implications of their story being a quick skip for the bears in thinking

[@alxandrjw]

Seeing this performed live is now a high-priority item on my bucket list.

[@BugHunter]

It’s an absolute blast live. Did it on the UK tour and had so much fun

[@gem8024]

Can confirm it’s even more of a banger live, especially when there’s a bear costume involved.

[@evie-rd8tc]

I would 100% recommend if you get the chance!! it somehow was even better live than I ever dreamed!

[@emo_grinch_440]

With real bears?

[@jamesonfromm2903]

@@alxandrjw it's really good live

[@MaxJ.ProfessionalLilGuy]

My favorite visual gag HAS to go to 3:02 ‘cause it’s so funny seeing the escalation of effort from “flashlight spooky story” to “cardboard cutouts” to “Whole body puppetry” and finally “Fully animated video”. Great bit. Also love her expression of “Ey yo check THIS shit out”

[@ThunderJams]

Love this!!! The bear models are so cute, love the cutaways to different characters and flipping to the lined paper to show the brainstorming - it all really punctuates the storytelling and perfectly pairs with the song (and I want a small bear plushie NOW). Amazing job DBI and Bug!!

[@sterrenmaid]

jams!!!! why is your profile picture different

[@ThunderJams]

@@sterrenmaid it is not

[@sterrenmaid]

@@ThunderJams jams!!!!! it is a silly goober with a spanner? maybe on discord

[@evie-rd8tc]

I know someone who makes small bear plushies if they don't get stolen 😌

[@Drawyourheart]

that moment when ursa is the bear and the irony that the energy drink ursa and the fear of bears keep him awake

[@lokiiago_x0x]

The way he was able to animate small bear running is /chef kiss/

[@Canonicallycreative]

This fills me with so much serotonin! This was one of my favourite songs from the album, especially because it reminds me of my best friend/roomie who likes to read aloud to me at night. (It’s a family tradition of theirs that they eventually sold me on because we’re basically family now.) It always gives me such a cozy safe feeling and this captures it perfectly! Also it makes me so happy to see the enby character from Platonic Best Friend got together with their partner and came back for this one!

[@joshua01793]

it took me two plays to notice the shape of the tent. great song and great video.

[@temra7063]

SAME

[@kilo3989]

Ooh, we get to see DBI's practice at "story on animated paper" skills!! And what a story--I genuinely forgot it was a bedtime story while listening, the wordplay was so good 😊 Thanks y'all for sharing this with us!

[@bugstuff2121]

I like the relationship dynamic between big bear and small bear: two psycho murderers with no qualms with murder and coercion but also best friends that care for each and make sure the other is happy.

[@FlashOfAsh]

Basically every depiction of bears in media when they have a friend

[@idlevalley]

My favorite music has always been the one's that tell stories. This one takes it meta. Loved it, thank you.

[@vikramb183]

Love the partner holding up the animation screen

[@TRquiet]

The “monster” cans being “ursa” (bear) is a neat touch.

[@writeon2593]

Out of all your songs that could be animated (that have yet to be so), I think this was the best choice. The detailed and whimsical story is aided by the visuals. I also love the simpler little doodles that bring a childish aspect to it all.

[@gracengeier1149]

Smol bear is adorable 🥺

[@Adi-StraightFromLaughtale]

This was one of my favorite songs from the album, I am so happy it is getting an animated music video😭🔥

[@samjohnson4751]

Been really enjoying this song on Spotify lately love to see a DBI animation for it! With my favorite couple from the Platonic Best Friend video, a cute bug shaped tent, and adorable bear designs!

[@titaniadioxide6133]

I love the switch at 2:54 to “You *WERE* the best at telling stories” from “you ARE the best at telling stories” at the beginning lol

[@coolioman1717]

one of my favs from you!

[@Baphelon]

Absolutely devastated that this doesn't have more views. Such a catchy song, and DeepBlueInk did a great job on animation!

[@BugHunter]

Were getting there! Doing numbers on tiktok atm 😅

[@kayleighmims9073]

The song is amazing and the animation matches that. Both Bug and DeepBlueInk are such incredibly talented people and I love it when they come together! This song is one of my favorites from the new album and seeing animated is just so cool. I especially loved the scene where it cuts to the studio after the bear BNB joke bc that is exactly how I picture it going in my head every time I listen and it has yet to make me laugh when I listen to it

[@spacecavy]

I love all the songs on the new album but this was the one I was most hoping would get a video next! It's everything I could have hoped for

[@noelletheradcat]

I am immediately sending this to everyone I went to see the tour with, I love it! Good job DeepBlueInk!

[@thatonecapybara1]

About 2 years ago I was obsessed with your song called be glad I love you

[@BugHunter]

Thank you! That’s still on every setlist!

[@zelokorLocalGodOfChaosAndBread]

fucking hell I found this song a few months ago on youtube music, and seeing the video for it is amazing, love this song

[@lighthouse.kuiper]

DeepBlueInk beat me to it AGAIN!!!! I seriously can't wait for this one

[@Hacksawman]

Small bear running made my day

[@magic_milkman3434]

this is totally one of my favourite songs from the new album. and the video is so good, love all your stuff bug!

[@adamantemrose2285]

I found your music recently and it just brings such a smile to my face, especially this song. I need to try and memorize it to tell my scouts before bed time!

[@GoAway-vj4vj]

You have put so many subtle jokes and laughs it is amazing. One of my favourite is at the very beginning the sing starts with "Your the best at telling stories" and at 2:52 it becomes "You we're the best at telling stories". Love your content.

[@LouisWritingSomethingCrazy]

This was a great video. I still see it as a father and son camping thing though.

[@travisshallenberger9486]

The end of the song really got me! Wow. You remind me that there's still good in the world. Thank you. And thanks to DBI for a great job animating!

[@couldntbecorn]

AMAZING!!! BEAUTIFUL!! SIMPLY WONDERFUL!!! incredibly song and incredible animation. i love how artistic and beautiful the sun and the tent get when it zooms in on the bears faces. i love the bears little bounces in time with the music. simply an AMAZING music video !!!!!!

[@JangoFettuccini]

0:33 I never get tired of seeing the caterpillar logo in different ways

[@TRquiet]

I liked Bear BnB! You made the right call.

[@griptuga4982]

This is just amazing I never knew I would be so into this kind of music I always love a story even if it's in a music video.

[@LOLMaster57]

I found your music recently and it’s all amazing your songs have been making me feel really happy during a hard time in my life also man how do you heart every comment the dedication to your fan base is crazy

[@stretch-and-rook]

When this came across my suggested songs on Spotify I simply HAD to bop that "repeat:1" button. It's sooo adorable, the wordplay is TOP NOTCH (i have a feeling there were dozens more puns/clever bits but the artist chose to exercise some restraint here - less is more?) The part that gets me every time, and I mean a laugh-out-loud EVERY time, is the audacity to insert a "BOOO"/audience disapproval IN YOUR OWN SONG. It's just... I can't get over it! Glad to have found your music; also I enjoy Dear McCracken - a very bittersweet number.

[@captaincrazythe2nd468]

I just realized that the couple in this music video are the same characters from the Platonic Best Friend music video and I think that’s really cute

[@EddTheEgg]

Why is no one talking about the "food prices have jumped across the hiberNATION" and the "cmon lets gopher it" jokes?

[@rgingeri]

Love you Bug!

[@JahsayFace]

This is so amazing! Needs more views!

[@roache1503]

I’m obsessed with this songgg ❤

[@thezheani1434]

Bear b&b 😌

[@TKHarris1967]

2:11 this part got me! Love ur music dude keep it up!

[@masteraninja3282]

I needed this for so long thank you

[@BugHunter]

Lol this song is 2 months old

[@DeepBlueInk]

2 months is long enough

[@magicalwizardcece]

beautiful. brings a tear to my eye

[@alastry]

Aww, this music video is so cutee! I love it sm!

[@evie-rd8tc]

DBI you truly did the song justice!! this is my favourite Bug song and you exceeded my expectations!! this is so good

[@PichuBro8]

WAIT IS THIS THE STARTING COUPLE FROM BEST FRIEND???

[@kranglethecheeselord2602]

Bug hunter makes the most wholesome sad silly little guy music and I love this song

[@Cole_Is_A_Mole]

I always thought this was between a kid and his dad or something. Didn't think of a couple

[@willhdolan]

Fabulous as ever folks! LOVE it!

[@PranavDevati]

Wooo I'm excited. This was such a fun little song and I can't wait to watch the video

[@Odester117]

I only found this song yesterday and already I love it. Amazing song and amazing animations. Love your work, both of you!

[@BugHunter]

Perfect timing!

[@m17guy]

another great video ❤

[@Matthiasflint]

HOLY COW TYHIS IS SUCH A GOOD BEDTIME STORY! *in quiet voice* "Smallbear 'bout to disapprove"

[@Mosfet_EN]

Amazing as always!! Excited for a Fanfiction video 👀

[@HnH_Gaming-mt8wq]

OH MY GOD I WAS WATCHING A STREAM AND HE PERFOMED THIS SND LOOKED AT MY COMMENT I WAS LITERALLLY SHAKING KH MY GOD

[@davidfalterman8713]

Wow wow wow I loved this so much, you and DBI are an iconic team 🔥

[@bigawesomewatermelon9511]

Two of my current favorite artists! Good work both of you. In love with DBI's bears they're so darn cute... And always love Bug's clever lyricism. This may be my favorite song of yours. At least top three, it's so hard to choose! Always appreciate your inclusive lyrics, (and DBI's inclusive drawings) whether they're incidental or intentional, it's such a little thing that means so much.

[@APEOX]

Got recomended 2 Bed, 2 Bath (and a Ghost) and I'm glad I clicked on your channel! Your songs are really awesome!

[@Shadow-qc9fn]

This is definitely the best animated yet. Loved it bug!

[@Lodestone8]

Man, Bug and Ink just work perfectly together every single time!

[@scouttf2isreal400]

OH MY GOD ANOTHER MUSIC VIDEO

[@pcblite7203]

I only just found your music recently, and i'm absolutely in love with it. You manage to capture such an ernestness, not shying away from either the goofy or the melancholy. It can be hard to find that balance and you make it seem easy. Love the music and thanks for sharing it

[@BugHunter]

Thank you for saying so!!

[@invaderspudd]

I love how the bears listen to each other and their plights. They are both right for each other and will live happy long bear lives :). (Unless yknow, one gets shot)

[@FenceCow]

bars in the verse about the gopher were crazy. dudes penwork is insane

[@crazymae173]

Can anyone tell me what the “small bear tired” bit says all the way through? Even the transcript and auto subs don’t help

[@matthewgood5499]

"Small bear angry, Small bear tired, Small bear about to disapprove"

[@dendanny]

We all need a break sometimes. Hope you're doing well broski

[@theholyhehe]

Just realized the tent is bug hunters logo

[@redbirb]

My current musical hyperfixation is your music

[@BugHunter]

Thank you!!

gay bears. 11/10.

It’s a child

[@FlashOfAsh]

@@godzilla-em7yu2019favMovie no it's just small bear, not young bear

[@Mark-q8s6o]

The song never mentioned the gender of either bear

[@MrsProudlyCanadian]

I already loved the song and now I love the animation too!

[@shoomaru]

Amazing video for a fantastic song!

[@Elroian]

HUH WHAT NO WAY THIS IS AMAZING

[@montyfonty1990]

He left it in! I love this song, and the silly little twist where they’re camping. This is a very cool song and I love listening to your music. Keep it comin!

[@samsungtabs6liteisthebest]

I can't believe they added the bear bnb

[@maGiCpinkBear]

Another high quality bug hunter twists 🐻

[@OfficialRedditMod]

This song is so catchy- and I love this animation style, I just wanna give the bears pets 😔

[@Noah_Giddens]

I've watched this three times in the last 24 hours, amazing work Bug!!!

[@CatbaronAle]

Good bears! Good song! This was very lovely ❤

[@eeygore9150]

seriously an amazing song, going to have to play this for my family on the guitar. amazing songwriting, the creativity is off the charts

[@vharkerandco]

Just realized the caffeine drinks are called ursa, like Ursa Major and Minor, the big and little bear constellations!!! Clever idea, DBI!!

[@daxterthefox]

Hey Bug Hunter, big fan here! Love the fact you continued the storyline from the Platonic Best Friend MV. Keep making great music 🔥🔥

[@michaelgallagher3498]

Love the new video! Wanted to say thanks for making the latest album, it’s been keeping my spirits up as I try to make my way through county college.

[@Sylvi3cat]

That bear looks high

[@tytotheowl2994]

3:00 "Yawnestly Believe", I almost missed that pun. Thats a good one.

[@akinginfiction]

That was adorable!!!

[@KilljoyDJBM]

BearBNB lol😂😂

[@Joshua-t2i]

Gofer for it

[@RNDteam-s3n]

I've watched this about 7 times and I love it❤

[@TheYellowGamer-vl8ov]

I’ve started listening to a ton of your songs and me and my dad listened to them on a 2 hour drive and loved them, so I went to follow you on Spotify and was absolutely taken back that you only have 130k followers, your songs are amazing, keep up the great work and amazing music.

[@BugHunter]

Only??? I think that’s pretty good 😂

[@TheYellowGamer-vl8ov]

I mean it is but the quality of music I thought it would be in the millions😂

[@BugHunter]

@TheYellowGamer-vl8ov maybe someday!

[@basilnottheherb]

I can't help but chuckle at the last tense. "You were the best at telling stories" implying they are the ones being eaten. Lol a snake eating its own tail kind of story.

[@KilljoyDJBM]

😂😂😂😂 you're so clever and cute

[@bubblesthebluefox]

(pre premiere)YES I was worried I wouldn't be able to watch this but it premieres on a weekend! Thank you bugg

[@Uncle-Pablo]

Every time I think of bug hunter I always think of the Deep blue ink animated songs
