This is SO GREAT :0 Joel showing up at "thinking this song's about you" and stealing Grian's spotlight was GOLD

[@leedesfleurs]

2:53 Subscribing for THE CAR celestial sign, chefs kiss, no notes, perfection 🚗

[@FadingQuazar]

Same lol

[@ajeeda-hk]

it's canon

[@darkdragoness5]

Way too many people trying to fit a square peg in a round hole with chariots and comets trying to explain why they should be Joel's celestial sign, just let his symbol be a car like you said. Though if someone really wanted a celestial object for Joel, why has no one suggested meteor? 1, it's also a car 2, they live fast 3, they go out in a blaze of glory (most of Joel's kills occurred at the end) 4, the death message for ender pearls is "____ hit the ground too hard" 5, there's a line in All Star's chorus "Only shooting stars break the mold", and meteors are also known as shooting stars

[@Bkitty03Maus]

the car better be cannon now

[@FadingQuazar]

@@darkdragoness5 that's genius

[@MiluranZ]

2:30 I LOVE this scene of Joel and Grian's final confrontation SO much! Especially with them looking at each other through the leaves, Joel is looking up as he is climbing up higher to win, and Grian is looking down as he is the mastermind overlooking all players. Their character is so well portrayed by the confidence in their expression

[@shroo_3933]

I KNOW RIGHT! I literally keep coming back to watch this video it’s just so good

[@sylvaticaquercus]

I LOVE the detail in this!!: - Ren playing House of the Rising Sun - Grian's flight feather's being cut so he plays the game properly for the watchers - Mumbo's silly lava death - the CHARACTER DESIGNS?!?!? - The background banner being scenes from all the life series - The lyrics matching insanely well - Joel being AWESOME - The amazing art - and SO MUCH MORE I could gush about for ages :D

[@xypysvyl]

I was so excited and curious to see what celestial body the people had decided Joel was just to be utterly RUN OVER by “The Car” I’m absolutely cackling

[@Born_to-Die-2]

that hit me before i could look left or right

[@L-ghtlessSky]

lmao if you want a real answer: some people have said “The Chariot” but if you ask me, it’s DEFINITELY Venus. ask me for reasoning if you need it lmao

[@Born_to-Die-2]

@L-ghtlessSky now, I don't need reasoning, because i already know. but... could you explain pls? for the audience members that don't know

[@L-ghtlessSky]

⁠@Born_to-Die-2alright, so: 1. ‘Venus’ is the roman name for the greek goddess Aphrodite, goddess of Love. This includes romantic, platonic and *familial* love. Joel’s whole thing this season was family. And romantic, Lizzie! 2. Aphrodite is vain, thanks to her immense beauty, which she often boasts, in the same way as Joel would boast his *cough cough water rings*, a trait usually seen to meet the male beauty standard. 3. Venus, the roman version of Aphrodite, is also the goddess of victory and battle, traits she takes from Athena and Ares. I believe this could represent how many battles he has won, having one of the highest kill counts across the whole life series.

[@Born_to-Die-2]

@L-ghtlessSky the audience members who didn't know would like to thank you

[@_MidnightSnow_]

I love the detail of Grians wings being clipped because he can't fly during the games

[@NovaStella_]

OH My gods, Joel coming in going "You think that this song is about you?" Is SO in-character for him xDD I was waiting for him to come in and it's just Perfect lmao Also, I love all the little cartoon stances you have for all the players at 1:47, they're like little stickers, I gotta collect them all!!

[@NotoRoboto]

JOEL PUSHING GRIAN OUT OF THE WAY SO THE SONG FOCUSES ON HIM MORE AMAZING

[@HederaHelix-n8k]

My favorite part is probably the fact that when mumbo poofs after death his mustache is the last part to go

[@AzuriteWings9815]

Lol at the end on the playing cards when for Joel’s it just said “the Car” was hilarious. Ezzriin, I have many animators I strive to eventually become, and I must say, you are one of the highest achievers in artimating

[@Maggie-u5x]

That was the tastiest animation I’ve ever seen… I love how Joel took over halfway through and the part where skizz died… *chefs kiss*

[@lunarxeclipse394]

The subtle foreshadowing of Joel's victory by him being singled out at the start is so clever! I love this so much!

[@harmonybeats]

Something about how every "All eyes on me" are animations of eyes opening, but when Grian loses at the end, he closes his eyes. There's something there, in that detail, and it's glorious. Thank you for sharing your wonderful work of art. 10/10 will watch again.

[@QueenCami_123]

I actually go feral at grian and Joel content. I love them as a duo so much. It’s not even funny

[@TGo-n-Roscoe]

Could not agree more.

[@devilishspeller]

holy crap, the binary just being 'WE ARE WATCHING' repeated is- its perfection.

[@glm_9555]

I thought it was 69...

[@agoose5692]

OH MY GOSH IT IS

[@theultimatecookie394]

I loved the puppet strings with Grian coz he's the only who made the series AND THE OPENING EYES EVERY FEW SECONDS - AMAZING I could probably rant about all the good stuff in this animation lmao

[@jonathanyomamathan2089]

joel stealing the show at the end was great. Love the animation and can't wait to see what you do next!

[@elsagarding4814]

Love how Joel is like: HA! Grian you think this is your show? Screw you, it's mine now. All eyes on ME

[@hazelbee3]

0:53 - 0:55 is one of my favorite moments in this series. Jimmy’s “is that me!?!?” Right before his death kills me. 1:42 love the awkward look grain gives Martin, really sums up the whole interaction 2:53 has Joel’s winner symbol become the car? We’ve really given up on assigning them all celestial symbols huh 😂 Love all the watcher references There are so many details I could point out (like Ren playing “Rising Sun”, but I’d be here all day ) Anyway, Ezzriin, I’ve always LOVED your animations, and like always, you’ve delivered

[@essenceofwormsin1610]

I think the symbol thing for joel is kinda up to the artist rn

[@blobfishstudios]

I like the symbol being a comet, but if you look really close it’s just a car flying so fast it has a fire trail.

[@SharpScales]

I'm personally a fan of Jupiter for Joel, since it also ties into Empires and his moon family orbits around him! Sun, Stars, Moon, Comet, Earth, Pluto, and CAR is funny, but doesn't fit very well

[@blobfishstudios]

@SharpScales Yeah, I feel like every fourth one gets debated, I always think the sun, stars, the moon and mars, the earth, and finally comet. (I also agree with Cleo being Pluto, but I mostly don’t consider her win on the main lineup.) You’re free to do it however you like though!

[@SharpScales]

@@blobfishstudios Same with you on the Cleo thing, I just like to include her for fun even though Real Life isn't technically canon

[@YukiShadowFS]

2:01 OMG I DIDNT EXPECT THIS TWIST???? I LOVE IT SO MUCH WHAAAAT

[@Tornado_Ally]

THIS SONG IS LITERALLY PERFECT FOR WILD LIFE from the mention of eyes to the CAR! It’s literally PERFECT FOR THIS Plus the art and animation is absolutely amazing as always And the purple puppet strings grian has 1) incorporated the watcher lore and 2) really showed the fact that he was the mastermind behind everything

[@J.P.ArtAndStuff]

I absolutely adore Mumbo’s expression change as the wildcard activates 0:29

[@blacksheep2862]

love how this captured how much fun everyone had in Wild Life :)

[@justyourcasualidiot1962]

Joel taking over the video and stealing the spotlight from grian at the end was PERFECT

[@imMittensKitten]

OH MY GOSH THIS IS LITERALLY SO COOL the way it's structured with the song is just peak, like the second half of it being centred on Grian and then nearer the end Joel pops up at the rap part of the song and takes the spotlight- him and his car- and the last shot of Grian accepting the new winner ITS SO GOODDD

[@cassodembreankia2076]

Cannot tell you how much I love and appreciate the consistent detail of Grian’s flight feathers specifically being clipped in your Life Series animatics! The attention to detail is incredible!

[@artikah3052]

absolute banger of an animatic, obsessed w the bridge bit where joel comes in w "thinking this song's about you" rotating it in my mind one million times

[@caldera_underscore]

SICK ANIMATIC, JOELS DESIGN IS AWESOME i am so excited for this! i've been lacking grian animatics, so this will fuel me lol edit: just listened to the song and i'm more sure than ever that this will be an absolute banger!

[@izzytodd4242]

The Grian and Joel designs look SO MUCH like Hiccup and Snotlout and I will never see them in any other way again 😂😂

[@MayTheMythical]

You very much nailed the balance in Joel being entirely too confident yet still lovable, great job!!

[@Flanneryschickens]

Jimmy's snail death was my favorite lol

[@AudreyHolt-yu5cn]

1:37 WHY IS SCOTT SO PRETTYYY Loved it

[@meccombs7629]

THIS WAS AMAZING!!!!!! All the little moments, both the serious and the silly - and ESPECIALLY the serious made silly!!!!! (Like Joel pushing Grian off screen, or Skizz's final death, or THE CAR!!!) This was AMAZING Ezz!!! It's already added to my "Favorite Life Animatics" series!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@TGo-n-Roscoe]

I just hope Joel has seen this. That maniacal look he has driving the car needs to be his computer display.

[@saym0.0]

i have to rewatch this every time it comes across my feed, i love it too much

[@Cariboumarch]

1:07 I love this shot of tango so much! The little fire man!

[@pjgamer780]

I love this so much, how it just **causally** summarizes wild life in a few minutes is perfect

[@ef1876]

Grian said on Imp&Skizz that he genuinely thought that Joel had already decided he'd won once he'd killed Ren, and that Grian's death was just an afterthought and i have been thinking about that ever since

[@L-ghtlessSky]

mf is SO ready for this

[@juliusroman8616]

I love Grian thought he was so confident, but if you watch Joel's final episode, he's a total nervous wreck most of the time. However, in those final moments with Grian I do agree he does seem much more confident.

[@Labyrinth_Props]

I think this is probably one of favourite depictions of Grian in animatics. It’s just really satisfying to look at

[@mudfish6861]

This is so cool! All the iconic moments from Wild Life, plus all those little bits and pieces of previous seasons? So cool! Also HEY WHOA 2:07 Joel chilllll you can’t just suddenly do that to me 😳

[@TahliaGrace28]

THIS IS AMAZING!!!!! The details... Grian having the showman's cut, Grian's coding before Mumbo and Skizz panic about the food wildcard, the background being scenes from all the life series', the celestial symbols and then CAR, grian being angry he didnt win. I love it!!!

[@AsmodiousSleeps]

The binary on grians screen looks like it says we are watching over and over then followed by traitor six times, i might be wrong tho, but if it is correct thats a really neat detail and tons of kudos to you for it, other than that oh mY GOSH, the character design! the colors, the symbolisms¤, the songs choice, the silly moments, the facial expressions and the animation in and of itself WITH ALL THOSE SMALL LITTLE DETAILS AA and its all so AMAYYZINGGGG, i love it, you did really so very well. KUDOS TO YOU FOR THIS MAGNIFICENT ANIMATION (sorry that this was so long but like aaa is so cool)

[@Born_to-Die-2]

joel's design made me question my asexuality for a second i can't lie. it was like hotguy all over again

[@Ashley-yf4nf]

The way my jaw hit the floor when it cut to Joel, the staging and posing in that segment were so so good

[@chrisbush4174]

1:51 Did anyone realize Scar just ripped his sleeves off to show off his muscles? 🤣❤ I love this very much ❤

[@BoopdaEspurr]

lmao at the little mustache on the the pile of ash mumbo leaves behind, and 'skizz died of his own stupidity'

[@MintChoco-g4f]

I’m so happy you included MUMBO dying to the lava outside the car while Grian watches him turn to ashes. I love that moment so much and I haven’t seen anyone animate it until now Also, I love how well you made the scenes match up the lyrics!! I’m being fed 🤲

[@dull_obsidian]

This was so cool!! The designs of all the Lifers were so distinct and the animation was so smooth! I can tell you put a lot of passion and effort into this. My favorite moment was Grian giving Martyn the side eye after Skizz died.

[@freddycastafolte]

Oh daaaaamn! Framing it like "grian is the mastermind and ingeneer" was clever, but i forgot that Joel final duel was against him !!! Litterally fighting the creator of the word !!!to win ! That's so cool

[@slimeylimey1839]

How people find songs and make them fit perfectly to how the life series go and feel is incredible

[@Shortnamesareoverrated]

1:41 haha hilarious line but.. YOUR MARTYN DESIGN MY BELOVED MARRY ME KING OMFG

[@Flip16YT]

Joel pushing into the spotlight is so accurate😂😂😂

[@Sprink87]

The sun and the car XD this is going to be a whirlwind of an animatic

[@ThreeAndAHalfOfDiamonds]

DUDE. THIS WAS INCREDIBLE. it had a certain feel to it (movie trailer style) that brought all the plots together and my goodness you did amazing at it! also loved the frames with the lil guys! 1:47

[@shroo_3933]

LITERALLY HAD ME GASPING, LIKE WTH THIS IS NUTS BRO LIKE I ACTUALLY CANT BELIEVE WHAT I AM SEEING

[@Ishypie05]

THIS IS SO GOOD! I love the part where Joel wins!

[@bread1_1duck]

Love the small movements in this animatic!! Especially where Joel twirls the loop thing(I think)!!!AGHH ILOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS!!!

[@ShayShayCoaster]

I love how the fandom makes Joel into a cool epic driver and I’m here for it

[@yueernteo3663]

idk why but i love the scene at 2:57 it's just perfection somehow I also really love the chibis of all the players like a transition scene, THEY'RE SO CUTE

[@almasundberg9903]

1:42, idk why, but something about how martyn looks like just melts my brain

[@rowin_._rose]

this animatic actually introduces such a stronger meaning to wild life than just the wild cards: grain is using it to show the watchers that they don’t control him anymore!! that’s so smart and cool

[@Cardinal_claw]

0:09 i love the little bright and in your face section of the circle

[@creativecourtney6113]

I’m actually obsessed with this, i’ve watched it multiple times can’t get enough 🥰

[@DoraTheExplora-j4h]

I love how the song just becomes a war between Grian and Joel

[@persiiart]

GAHHH EZZRIIN WHEN I CATCH YOUUUUU!!! You never fail to EAT when u make animatics this is so sick dude I love it

[@melfractis8691]

I love the little snippets of each even happening around Grian or the moment of Joel pushing him during that second chorus AND ALSO HOW MUCH I WHEEZED AT GRIAN’S CELESTIAL SIGN VS THE CAR WOOO THE CAR!!!!! X,D Congrats on finishing it, it’s wonderful!

[@SunriseSquirrel]

hyped for this to come out!! i bet it'll be amazing just like the other animatics :D

[@shroo_3933]

I am literally so excited! Can’t wait

[@Heyyybail]

I get the biggest dopamine rush every time I rewatch this

[@magity_]

ezzriin has risen from the grave EVERYONE CHEERED

[@Xylaexx]

Ok there was no need to make joel that hot. This was amazing!

[@ngaipie]

Ok an another Amazing one right here folks, one lil thing I’d like to point out is the lil feet animation after mumbo burning really caught my attention idk why thought it was cool with such a little amount of frames

[@evelynadams5794]

this is SO COOL also i love the "hey" with the trivia bot lmbo

[@simonioos]

0:15 made me laugh so hard

[@linfoxof2013]

hooooooly moly. this is one of the best things to come out of wild life. i love the way you set up the scenes, your designs, the facial expressions, the everything! the way the song changes up caught me off guard in theee best way!!!! absolutely amazed, filled with wonder, etc. aaaaa!!!!!

[@sophiebell1571]

This is INSANELY good!! It's catchy, the different art styles! All the references to the series, Gian's smugness! the transition to Joel closer to the end and the way it's portrayed how grian is so close to winning and then Joel manges to take out the 'puppet master', putting an end to the 'games' he's playing with them all was so cool and a whole other perspective I didn't even think of it as yet! All of it's just insanely cool, keep up the great work!!

[@sanddune9585]

THE WAY HALF OF THE FRAMES ARE AMAZING FAN ART ON THEIR OWN!! I LOVE THIS SM

[@Avenflow.]

I am very excited! I'm sure it will be amazing work as always! ❤️

[@GwynnDdu]

Omg the song choice is so so so good!!!! The art, scene framing, and transitions are all so so good too!!! This is immediately a classic and going to become one of the ones I rotate around rewatching.

[@_MightyGoat_]

IM OBSESSED THIS IS SO GOOD!! WILL BE WATCHING IT BACK MANY TIMES

[@bramblechaser162]

I love that people have Joel sign as his car! I saw a post on Tumblr that just said from a distance it looks like a comet but as you zoom closer in, it’s just his car and I think that’s beautiful.

[@tigerlilykitty3281]

Everything about it screams fun and genius! A rollercoaster ride from start to finish! Scar would be proud.

[@dariomorosini3154]

I feel like Joel could be Mars, indicating his famously hot temper as well as readiness and willingness to fight, since Mars is the symbol for the Greek God Ares/ Roman god Mars. Idk though because it goes kinda against the family side of things so... Also loved the animation. SO GOOD!!!

[@zpyo27]

I love how the community has just collectively decided to drop the serious astronomical symbols and just let Joel’s be the car because it’s hillarious

[@QuintinCooper]

Oh Chariot, come on and fix my broken wings...

[@relgnira]

oh my god when it switched over to joel's perspective i laughed out loud!!! silly guys

[@TGo-n-Roscoe]

I’ve watched this like 6 times already in less than a day. So much fun. That transition to Joel is just amazing, and that shot of Joel driving the car is just incredible.

[@kittenkitsune703]

2:28 THE SHOVE I CAN'T--

[@remthegremlin]

the cut to joel made me go FERAL that was so goooood!!

[@Pixelated_Cat_Potat]

To be completely fair, I cheered for both (Grian and Joel) so this video sums this season perfectly for me. And it just feels right to think of this as the main story for the season, Grian being the person in charge of everything that happens behind the stage, and Joel just taking the spotlight. Fantastic video.

[@samathekittycat]

they are so egocentric i love them fighting each other for screentime heuehueheuehe
