The closest thing we'll ever get to Neill Blomkamp's Aliens

"What's your name?" "Cindy." "Everything's gonna be O.K., Newt." "I said my name was Cindy!"

It's been 15 years. I think it's time for Alien 5 3.

[@maxstudiosproductions230]

Yes please

[@averevolution301]

20 years now

[@PaladinOfNerds]

Holy shit I remember seeing this when It first came out.

[@Spoony1983]

Finally.... been looking for this for years!

[@themandalorian2616]

SAME HERE THIS WAS MY CHILDHOOD

[@MemoryOfASummerDream]

I remember this video from way back in the day when it was in parts. Honestly this thing inspired me to try my own hand at this. I never uploaded my own final products (probably for the best), but they make for great memories, and I guess I have you to thank for that!!!

[@tackyman2011]

I'm accepting this as canon.

[@Xerruy]

There is just so much brilliance in these 30 minutes. The editing, the sounds lifted from the 2001 Avp2 PC game, the random ass cameos (Harry fucking Potter), Bishop being moody AF, the hilarious insanity of a sentient ape speaking deadpan lines and nobody thinking twice about it, the McGuyveresque special effects (using a laser pointer for the Predator's plasma). An all time fan film classic

[@NightMare-cu6tu]

finally I found your channel

[@BattDrixLestrange]

Ah it reminds me a lot of memories, I was 16 years old at my last vision of this video. Today I'm 25 years old !!

[@josephhoffman9300]

I remember spending all my days watching this. Thank you for some of my childhood joy!!!

[@TeurastajaNexus]

First of all, awsome job man! I love this stuff! I love the LA scene and the marines, the armory was so coool, lots of guns! I saw this movie like few years ago. Great work!

[@TeurastajaNexus]

And I liked O'Malley, Hudson was a good character too.

[@codyerickson3550]

Holy shit I remember when this first came out 😂 Still so good even to this day.

[@JurassicD255]

Who made this movie you need to make alien 5 part 3

[@geoffy0]

I enjoyed this almost as much as the original

[@rfagamingcruz6328]

bro the way they created the props and the place are nothing i ever seen

[@imaretrotoynerd390]

I love watching theses alien toy parody’s I wish you maid more !

[@MrBtmorgan03]

This is a double nostalgia trip for me - first, because I grew up with Kenner Alien toys, and second, because I have strong memories of watching this in my dorm room during my freshman year of college, 03/04. As it was pre-KZbin, I must have watched it on your website.

[@probotanimation]

Thanks so much! I love when people rediscover us. Yes, I used to have a website pre-YT, but sadly let it wither and die. I need to make a new one. You might like some of my newer stuff. Hope you check it out.

[@Xerruy]

This Bishop is a mood

[@alexandercotte960]

Cool! Nice work to all involved!

"Chimp-Ums is NOT stupid!" ...David73694-B...

[@Xerruy]

Judging from the sound editing, Wellner most definitely owned AvP2 (the PC game).

[@Taz_1080]

Nostalgic!

[@TheLiverpoolOwen]

was this made 20 years ago!.... oh my lord where did the time go, no joke these alien toy movies where part of my childhood, i would recreate some of these scenes when I would play with my kenner figures, i remember going to a car boot sale and finding a captain simian who got played with alot.

[@probotanimation]

I can't express how much it warms my heart to hear that our video inspired your playtime.

[@TheLiverpoolOwen]

@@probotanimation more than you could ever imagine, as a kid i watched these over and over again, to me these where as good as cannon.

[@Kaijusaurs]

Damn. I remember watching this when I saw it on KZbin and I loved it. I wonder if there be an Alien 5³ to an follow up after Ripley have to kill the Chestburster after it burst from Cindy.

[@probotanimation]

Thanks! I love it when old fans rediscover our videos! A lot of people have requested a sequel over the years, and I hate to leave everyone hanging. I just have lots of other inspiration beyond the Alien franchise. If I did a sequel, I would probably do it with NECA figures. But that chestburster got torched, so it's not as big of a concern as the psychological scars of burning Cindy's still twitching corpse. I had thought of starting a 3rd movie 10 years later: Ripley and Chimpums emerge from the bunker with their kids, for whom I'd use old school Planet Of The Apes characters, and Earth has been overrun with Xenomorphs... but that's as far as I got with the idea, lol!

[@42ndStreetMatthew]

@@probotanimation I want this to happen so much.

[@Coffeecup-sb5mw]

no one can hear you play with toys Insert lenny Face.

[@PlugHED1980]

This is probably going to be a weird question, but did this ever get any sort of VHS release? I remember seeing a homemade Alien movie made with the Kenner toys at a video store in Somerville, MA (it's not there anymore, can't remember the name but it closed in 2014 or 2015, I think.). Never got the chance to rent it, but it looked similar. Is this maybe the same thing?

[@probotanimation]

It's actually the sequel to that video. We had lived a few blocks away from that video store, but it was on Mass ave in Cambridge I thought. Maybe it moved, but not far from Somerville. We made our first toy videos in our cramped apartment for broadcast on local cable access TV, but also on the shelf at that one store. Then in 2000 we moved to LA and made this "big budget" sequel in 2003.

[@PlugHED1980]

@@probotanimation Far out! Thanks for the response, and thanks for the info: I've been itching to see and learn more about it, having seen some of it once on a KZbin vid, but quickly losing track of it. Oh, and great job! Super entertaining! Also, I have absolutely no doubts that you're right about that video store location (great place, but I only discovered it a few weeks before they shut down. Bummer!). Just seeing the box on the shelves made my day. At any rate, any chance of uploading the first film? Thanks again!

[@probotanimation]

@@PlugHED1980 It's a bit slow compared to my later work, but here it is. It took about 6 months to film, shot in sequence and edited (at first) only in-camera. Later re-edited digitally to improve the pacing as much as possible. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mne0lHh-gaikgpo

Moar boi *moar*

[@FCTEdits]

How can I get the dvd of this and of the 1st one?

[@probotanimation]

Hey, sorry I missed this. I've been without a proper computer for a few months. I have a few home made DVDs that I burned a while back. They should still work. I can send you one if you still want it. email me at [e-mail]

[@truemisto]

youre reuploading this one a lot over the past few days, does it keep getting taken down, or were the first couple ones not the final version

[@probotanimation]

I'm very sorry about the reposting. There was a green line on the side that was driving me nuts. It would only show up after upload, not on the original file. I had to try different export settings to get rid if it. This is the final version.

[@ianmccune6566]

how did you get the 2 to be small?

[@probotanimation]

I just did a google search for "squared" & copy pasted the little 2.
