Animator vs. Animation III (original)

"The Chosen One" from episode two is trapped inside the Animator's internet explorer in forced labor as a pop-up blocker. This segment follows his eventual escape onto Microsoft Word, Solitaire, Minesweeper, and the desktop.

[Yusis]

i like how Alan is casually still (trying) to play solitaire while 2 godlike stick figures are fighting and absolutely demolishing his computer

[The Chosen One]

@Hotaru ok

[Hotaru]

@The Chosen One real

[The Chosen One]

@Hotaru real

[Hotaru]

Poor alan

[The Chosen One]

@Kak Shaso no

[Super Ultra Omega Lord God Sonic]

I forgot how realistic and amazing the old firefox logo looked.

[Jakub 🇺🇦]

​@A person I guess Yeah. It still has the Earth and the Fox.

[A person I guess]

The new one is still pretty good though

[SnipWind]

unfortunately simplify the design too

[SnipWind]

@KweenIduna (Ashley) I understand you

[CyberSoph Studios]

'Where did you're essay go?' 'A stickman ate it' 'That's the second time, Alan!'

[poopypoop]

Bro

[مروان جيمر]

lol

[Sunni Productions]

i rly wana make an animation like this just to troll the teacher

[RetroGameDays36]

*your

[GamerTCell]

But its actually a valid reason this time

[soink sasmank]

I love the little details, especially how he throws chosen and gently puts down dark 4:58

[Nova Celestial]

This is what we call "favorite stickman pet peves."

[probium]

To think this was over a decade ago... still so impressive, I want to animate like him!

[adriananicolly]

Its more then that now

[The oblivious omnisexual]

“So, Mr. Becker, what do you do for a living?” Alan: “stickman.”

[mogus]

@vietanh266that's what a NPC would say

[Ghostopeeu]

If I ever become an animator and draw stupid comedic shit I’m gonna start running on a treadmill 10 mph for the possibility that someone asks me what I do for a living

[vietanh266]

@0_zsR (0_zsT) you are the npc

[TazinBoor3]

If he just called the red stick figure, “The Chosen One’s Enemy” The rest of the short probably wouldn’t have happened.

[Zelath]

@0_zsR (0_zsT) who’s an NPC?

[elias coria]

Everyone is talking about the solitaire but no one is talking about how the dark lord was playing minesweeper like a pro

[𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹_𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴]

ya ik

[Max Máté]

No one? More like two

[Alon Joaquin]

@Di gdm q

[Anderson Seecharan]

Of course no one is it gets destroyed by the chosen one

[T-90M]

Stickman:*Fighting to the death* Alan:"Perfect time to play Solitaire!"

[The Chosen One]

He is a peaceful time

[PolskiWilkYoutube]

7:21 *Say no more.*

[TheGalaxysReaper]

LOL

[Mason's Holy Moly Videos]

@Hyy Bgff what the heck bro

[Rui Gineto🎄]

Teacher: So Alan, where's your essay? Alan: The stickfigures called The Chosen One and The Dark Lord destroyed it, including a violent explosion and a blue screen of death.

[The Chosen One]

Nah

[dape]

@ImKarthikAy TEH

[ImKarthikAy]

and they fried my motherboard too

[Jacked Thor-so]

Going back and rewatching the Stick Figure cannon and, holy crap, the NOSTALGIA! I remember being a kid, when computers looked like this! This is what my family PC looked like when getting on to play Webkinz XD!

[LiveUIClient]

Windows XP

[Ceifador 07]

yeah

[Edward]

This is what KZbin is made for. Content creator going crazy with their imagination

[Majo Medina]

*dating

[DirectedLorean]

@The Master of mystery so wdym? He still makes these type of videos

[DarkMan471]

Yassssssss

[MarioBoi28]

This is why I use KZbin instead of TikTok

[Андрей Янукович]

Агала

[Gavin Dinsmoor]

I love how The Dark Lord asked the apps to help him fight The Chosen One, and the apps were like "alright, let's do this" since they already know who The Chosen One is. Also, the blue screen of death seemed to happen too quickly for the stick figures to be able to escape, but this video was made years before the next one, so that's fine

[LifeBoy]

watch the ava shorts and they will explain everything

[Gavin Dinsmoor]

@Lawrence Keys Yeah. Oh well, still awesome

[Lawrence Keys]

Yes,but sadly the flashback debunks that

[Justin Clowater]

Credit where it's due, Clippy held his own in that fight for a minute there. About time that little bugger did something useful...

[Virture GD]

@Zane's world his channel was made 15 years ago, 2 years ago it was 13 years ago.

[Lương Ngô]

@Multi f

[Generic Name]

@SoupySuds Yes.

[Criixael]

yes

[Stealthlock]

I remember when this came out. I was so obsessed with the lore from 1 and 2, and this was such a step up in story and animation quality, and a continuation of Chosen One’s story....I was so, so happy. Who could’ve told me what even greater things there were still to come?

[Stealthlock]

@LifeBoy You are too tho like, I love the more lore and character heavy focus of the newer series, plus we’re more invested in characters with only base human powers, martial arts, and super resourcefulness on their side.

[LifeBoy]

@Stealthlock And I truly respect that, you are absolutely right.

[Stealthlock]

@LifeBoy I have a hard time comparing them now. I think the actual quality of animation and storytelling has gone up for sure, but all the episodes have a special place in my heart. I was so excited for the growing lore of the original, and now I’m so invested in this adorable, personality-rich new cast, the two eras come out to equal amounts of awesome in my mind

[LifeBoy]

@Stealthlock Yeah even though I like the original trilogy I like 4 and AVM more

[Stealthlock]

@LifeBoy Confused but optimistic. Weirdly, even though I’ve come to love the stick crew as they were introduced, SC speaking in text is still cursed

[Koxu 2006]

Ten kanał ma najlepsze animacje ze stickmenami w historii

[Jakub 🇺🇦]

Prawda. I Polska Górom!!!! 🇵🇱🇵🇱

[TazinBoor3]

If he just called the red stick figure, “The Chosen One’s Enemy” The rest of the short probably wouldn’t have happened.

[Havi YT]

+1

[Rocco Holcomb]

Tłumaczę to na angielski, ale nadal się zgadzam

[macientux]

To prawda

[MattPixer34]

Dude I wish he made a remake of this one it would be great

[Margo rat]

It still amazes me that this all started because Alan drew a stick figure. 👏👏

[Ash]

"So, Mr.Becker, what do you do when 2 godlike stickmans are fighting?" *Alan: Solitaire.* (INSPIRED BY 2 COMMENTS)

[How2Shrek]

This hits harder when you realize the dark lord never actually forgot his mission

[Red Fat Seal 240]

Yeah, and he seems like a friendly leader who teams up with aol messenger and Firefox. Alan Becker protected the chosen one in the showdown but never protected the dark lord in this episode. Plus, we all know it was the chosen ones idea to destroy Alan’s computer, right? Doesn’t mean that is also the chosen ones idea to destroy the internet and the dark lord just followed along cus he sees him as a big brother

[ParPar]

it hits even harder once you realize the dark lord wasn't even aggressive to begin with. he was just stretching until he was programmed to destroy the chosen one

[Goldpumpkin yt]

@Theo polo man

[The Overseer]

Oh yeah, killing the chosen one. I completely forgot.

[The golden legend]

@Haha second coming

[Re- Blitz]

Tco:”YOU CANT ENSLAVE ME THIS IS ILLEGAL!” Animator: “You killed like half my applications, we passed the point of what’s legal and what’s not.”

[Mason's Holy Moly Videos]

WHY ARE PEOPLE COMMENTING NONSENSE HERE?!?!?

[Ranolog]

@WaterFlame The Fox/BluecoolSonic aren't they all?

[WaterFlame The Fox/BluecoolSonic]

@Ranolog and very powerful one at that.

[Altafy Brickbester]

I really like how Alan just want a peaceful time for solitaire

[BraxFlip]

Can't believe that over 11 years ago I first watched these animations, and i'm still here to this day. I'm glad I got my first stick figure shirt from it years ago.

[Greta Gutiérrez-Colomer]

Five years ago I saw these animations for the first time, I was blown away by how well done they are.

[Musicifiy]

1:29 Teacher: where's your essay?! Alan: ... My pet stickman ate my homework.

[Red Fat Seal 240]

Plot twist, Alan recorded the whole thing but the teacher thinks he animated the whole thing to fabricate as evidence

[asimple pie]

Growing up with this was amazing. It blew my mind as a kid. Im now inspired to animate, thank you Alan ;)

[asimple pie]

@Zewxak (trevante58) fixed it

[Sophie Scribbles]

I bet the teacher is like “Alan didn’t do his work again.. what’s his excuse this time? A Stickman ate his homework?” “Well..”

[Mason's Holy Moly Videos]

@synrdk what did he say?

[Zach Nomad]

Oh…

[Cool person]

@WaterFlame The Fox/BluecoolSonic o h

[WaterFlame The Fox/BluecoolSonic]

@Cool person something about this being unfunny, did you not see my comment?

[Cool person]

@WaterFlame The Fox/BluecoolSonic what did he say

[Nevada]

Alan: **living peacefully** TCO: Knock. Knock. It's the stickfigure. Stop. Open the freedom. Stop having me closed.

[drock]

You realise it was an animation…………

[LuqmanFaris Wan]

@MrHiTech Dark Lord died tho, even if he did survive I doubt he's a good guy.

[MrHiTech]

Alan couldn't really do anything about it, so he signed a treaty that allowed The Chosen One, The Dark Lord, and The Second Coming to visit his computer anytime they want.

[TheGuyWhoCallsHimselfMythic]

I could binge watch all the videos made by this guy and not get bored

[Wolf Gaming]

its amazing how his skills have improved over the years

[The ExiIed FeIIow]

Dude, I remember watching this years back and begged for either stick figure to perform a Kamehameha. Good times...

[bloxellium]

ok

[Hoppydylan]

You gotta realize Alan wrote an entire page essay just for a 10 minute video. True legend

[JM Studios AUTTP (Locksmith) (Lovebase)]

Um actually it's 8 minutes

[drock]

@Hoppydylan sorry

[Hoppydylan]

@drock why you so mad just because I left a positive comment bro

[Jonathan Smith]

Out of all the Animator vs. Animation movies, this one is my favorite (Part IV is my second favorite). The fight between Clippers and the Chosen One is hilarious, and the use of Solitaire and Minesweeper is very creative. On top of that, seeing all the old icons gives me a massive rush of late 2000’s - early 2010’s nostalgia.

[FireyDeath4]

Just read Alan's essay and I think it would be better if you got a friendship-built team with specialised peeps to create something that not only stands out in the beginning, but also shoves you the underlying messages when you become invested in it. Also people should learn critical thinking.

[330thcube]

I love how the animator is just casually playing solitaire in the middle of all the battles.

[natalie]

2:55 Clippy is literally so chill I can't get over it

[letsb3nameless]

11 years later and this is still an awesome video

[clover]

I love how throughout all this Alan is just trying to play some solitaire.

[PlayrR3D]

I mean, it's something I do to relax, so it makes sense

[David Queiroz]

Eu nem tenho *paciência* pra jogar esse jogo. (Entenderam?! 😂🤣... 😐)

[Scritch]

@clover same

[The Music Lover]

Hes think The Dark Lord can handle that and complete the mission but hes wrong!

[Memona Anjum]

😁

[C. Bennette]

Fun Fact: The laser sound is actually the sound of the Kamehameha charging up

[MASTER CHEESE]

So we all know that the virus red made later in the saga could easily beat the other stickmen. And Clippy could actually stand a chance against the chosen one. So when is virus vs Clippy coming Alan?

[SUPA Siblings]

AIM also kinda survived although the chosen one killed it same as. lippy

[Levan Aspanidze]

денис лошкин wanna play lego city undercover on the nintendo switch together?

[evolvedBREAD]

Clippy is still crumpled

[BloxxerBoi_RBLX]

I deadass thought I could bring stickfigures to life by just drawing them when I was young, I cried for hours when that didn't happen. Good memories, lol

[PatSuperpals]

Same

[Brandan]

I can't believe that this video is a source of nostalgia for me. I remember loving this back as freshman in highschool... I think I was a freshman.

[Jojo Mittelman]

Wow 11 years that’s crazy and it still is amazing good job Alen

[Beingallowed]

I love the fact that The Dark Lord was treated nicely by Mr Animator and The Chosen One was thrown like a ragdoll and at the end The Dark Lord was the one who wanted to destroy everything when The Chosen One matured and wanted to stop him

[vilho]

i remember 4 years ago watching the whole series and being hyped for everything even tho i already watched it, good times

[Envyx]

I love this so much even 9 years ago this guy was a crazy good animator

[Kathy Whitt]

Oct 2, 2011: a masterpiece Oct 24, 2022 : best animation in the history of animators

[iSonikkusStuff]

i love how AIM gives a paint brush to the chosen one to fight with so it’s fair.

[CamHeYt]

the fact that an animation this guy made like 14 years ago is still made to be part of RECENT lore he made is amazing. it shows how far he’s come in both storytelling and animation skill

[GuntShot]

I like to think that the chosen one was younger in this animation. He uses very “silly” methods to fight, like spitting out the letters for example. But in avm series part 4, he gets straight to the action no goofing around.

[Saturn50]

Well he reappears in part V not IV cause for is when we get the second coming

[I Salt l]

@nightmare foxy Yeah, it was around 2006-2007 and he was in highschool, I think, or he might have been homeschooled

[nightmare foxy]

No yeah when he was in school

[nightmare foxy]

Well this is one of the oldest videos on Alan Beckers channel probably when he was in school I would assume

[I Salt l]

@Poneyland vai secar e explodir when did tco go to discord page

[fp_ami]

Clippy: I swear, nothing comes out of this guys mouth. The Chosen One: *think again*

[Colette Tyrell]

@ARandomPage ok

[ARandomPage]

I worked on the captions in 2018. I was considering making TCO say "Fire comes out of that guy's mouth." But I couldn't find the words for it and thought it would be too weird.

[Т1000 Youtube]

Marked comment that i read

[The Chosen One]

Haha fire breath go brrrrrr

[babita sinha]

Making these types of animations at that time was very impressive

[Enderwave22]

No one: Alan: *Casually playing Solitaire while his computer is getting destroyed*

[Toona Plays]

@Enderwave22 Nothing dies even if they’re dead nothing dies.

[Enderwave22]

@Piglinator Like I said, that's why the meme can't die.

[Piglinator]

@Enderwave22 it's still unfunny and overused

[Enderwave22]

@Piglinator yeah but it's far from dead, as long as people still use it it lives on for like, thirty more years.

[Piglinator]

@Enderwave22 i have seen over 30 people ever since 2021 use the nobody: literally no one: meme, and it was always unfunny and was just copy pasted everywhere on the internet

[Aaron Martin]

It is crazy to me how much creativity there is in this video. There’s so many interesting ideas it’s great

[RailgateKeeper]

I can only imagine how funny the interaction between him and his professor would be after that essay fight. 'Sorry I couldn't turn in my essay, professor. I had no choice but to use it to fight a sentient stickman on my computer.' 'What the fuck is wrong with your head, Alan?'

[H .E]

It actually makes sense why the red stick figure went so evil, he’s the dark lord

[wulan hasmarani]

Bang gak ada kapok-kapoknya

[wulan hasmarani]

Bang nggak ada kapok-kapoknya

[Bluerious]

@Piika Yeah, but we’re talking about The Dark Lord

[Archie Outdoors]

@David Queiroz no he isn’t the creators of among us didn’t make the game one of the people who made it used to work for the company who made it

[The pawn.]

@Piika TSC is orange. TDL is red.

[DJRick Vale]

9 years later it still one of the best animation ever ❤️💯

[يوسف محمد]

@TG Collins Aerospace🏳️‍🌈⃠ GLORYTORUSSIA kid?

[TG Collins Aerospace🏳️‍🌈⃠ GLORYTORUSSIA]

​IT IS KID@يوسف محمد

[TG Collins Aerospace🏳️‍🌈⃠ GLORYTORUSSIA]

it is!

[يوسف محمد]

If not the best !

[Braxton999Adams]

Alan was edgier in the original trilogy we've gone from "Hey buddy I'll *Kill* you if you don't stop that" to "You *Ended* my friends"

[kpra.2 pro]

just watched the second. i love seeing these gradually get more refined and intricate as a storyline as well, over time

[18thShaz]

10 years and the animation is still god level

[〜 Bonnie 〜]

I love how he has the literal audacity to do this fight after he got demolished

[T]

YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE!! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BRING BALANCE TO THE COMPUTER!!!

[Exilito]

The chosen one 15 years later: *ok*

[UKT The_King_Fish]

You were my creation, chosen one...i loved you...

[BagelLeafXD]

Me: STOP DESTROYING COMPUTER! TCO: I HATE YOU!!!!!!! Me: HOW DARE YOU FORGIVE DARK LORD!!!!!!+ TCO: BECAUSE HE KEEPS BEING MEAN SO YOU STOP!

[BagelLeafXD]

Brozo1 Man What He's A Good Stickman!

[Bowling]

IT WAS SAID YOU WOULD DESTROY THE DARK LORD NOT JOIN HIM!!!!

[Matt J]

I was always happy that TCO got his freedom in this one.

[Karim Alaili]

I love how Alan just started playing Solitare while the Stick Figures were trying to murder eachother.

[Bees arcade]

one of if not the best animators for his time Alan is amazing I used to watch these when I was learning how to read one of my favorite videos ever thanks Alan Becker :)

[Zack TeleVision]

Ah, a classic. Nice job Alan.

[Nick B-rock]

alan: plays solitare stick figures: destroys solitare alan: still being able to play it while the sticks are destroying it alan: ah yes this is normal

[TheDominator]

@NCubs seems like u scared to talk to him

[TheDominator]

"this is fine"

[FirePalmMy]

@NCubs how get your image?

[FirePalmMy]

@NCubs cuz, how make gif icon channel?

[Big Gucci Cholo]

In the animators defense, the stick figure was only imprisoned after he immediately turned hostile once he became the chosen one

[angela hearn-carter]

@Thisisasupersayin3 alan didn't want to set the chosen one free. The chosen on grabbed the mouse and forced it to click the button to free him.

[Thisisasupersayin3]

(Long Reply) Well, TheChosenOne wasn't created much longer after Victim, so it's pretty likely The Animator was still torturing stick figures as a hobby. (Generally speaking, edgy teens on Newgrounds love torturing stick figures) TheChosenOne however, isn't made to be tortured, he was meant to be the character an edgy teenager would think is cool, and while a lot about him is cool, he's also, personality-wise, an even edgier and less emotionally balanced teenager than Animator AvA3 is four years later, when The Animator has grown to see TheChosenOne's misery, and he decides to let him free, which turn out to be a big mistake. Then in AvA4, his bad past experience with TheChosenOne and DarkLord is what makes him so quick to retaliation when he finds out TheSecond is alive.

[Ladybugbee12]

I love how he treats "The dark one" here 5:10

[碧藍星]

At the beginning, Allen seemed to have no idea that this stickman would save the world 10 years later.

[TheFlyingNimbus]

This never gets old to watch.

[Arthur Gibson]

Amazing that Alan's animation was already good 11 years ago and today it's 9999 times better

[bug]

Did anyone notice that when Alan was placing the two stick figures on top of the Solitaire window to fight, he let the Chosen One drop, and placed the Dark Lord very gently on the window?

[ilikemmmmmmmmmmfood]

@marvin kay ledesma now its the opposite

[Chief Tiger]

DUH

[Pedro da silva]

ikr

[marvin kay ledesma]

Koalanerd09 Yeah because The Dark Lord is n Alan’s side

[Yunalesca_Night_Sky]

Koalanerd09 yes

[Dylan Rayner]

12+ years later and still a masterpiece

[jake malary]

this animation is freaking fire. and its creative too LOVE it

[Zaniel Andre Faicol]

The fact the the dark lord went from good to evil and the chosen one went from evil to good is a good plot twist!

[Incog Nito]

Holy- it feels so nostalgic, it feels so old school!

[hiroshi]

Alan backer continua bom até hoje

[Item Boy]

Ah yes, that old times where Alan would torture stick figures and they would try to destroy his computer.

[Um anônimo legal]

Agora graças ao Animator Vs. Animation 5 sabemos que eles escaparam.

[Thundercat]

Aaah, a classic Isn’t it funny how Alan could animate that well with not oversimplified Logos?

[darien san]

me after watching the video:I'm proud of you Alan it's so cool

[The uncut director]

I like how internet explorer just bites the chosen one like it bites everyone’s time 😂

[Chai Hill]

The most incredible thing about this animation is that Clippy is actually helpful.

[Manaal Imran]

The Dark Lord really proved to be The Chosen One's enemy after 9 years

[Hazgebu]

Lol didn't think of harry potter at all. Only thought about the dark lord of the sith and the chosen one

[Interested Xuan Extra]

The Chosen One's enemy

[Nazomius ‘]

*7

[KirbyMaster]

Nobody’s mentioned this, but the StickSlavery page opens a lot of implications for the AvA universe. Sentient drawings are common enough for issues like this to warrant entire websites. I feel like there could be a lot more detail in this subject, like, can only certain people make drawings come to life? For the people who can, how do they actually do it? It’s quite interesting to think about

[CubeMelon]

i like how the stick figures are literally destroying his computer and alan is just casually playing solitaire

[Андрей Леонтьев]

это было только начало истории. и вот спустя 11 лет тебя смотрят уже 20 миллионов. Ты постарался и сделал чудо.

[Мега ОРЕХ]

🙃

[QuinChichi]

Good thing they got Russian subtitles. I can finally enjoy this masterpiece 👌

[D3cora_Kai]

I watched animation vs Minecraft a few days ago and I saw something called "required essay" that the stick figures accidentally destroyed, I guess this is where its originally from!

[Regency]

There’s so much personality in these figures. The Dark Lord is apparently more suave and confident, with the clapping to summon his program minions and the lack of a flinch when Chosen almost hit him with a solitaire card.

[Tomix Ravenloss]

He was shivering quite a bit in fright when TCO beat him at the end, so not entirely

[Musicture]

i love that when the window minimizes the user is just like "huh. might as well play solitaire."

[Sneekywario]

You can see the fear in couple's eyes when he loses his weapon

[LWTH Music]

currently contemplating why alan didn't simply just use the physical power button on the actual tower

[Suelma Pereira Araujo]

THE FACT HE WROTE AN ACTUAL ESSAY FOR THIS ANIMATION IS IMPRESSIVE

[drock]

it was copy and pasted

[multiplayer]

These are good channels because of the great content and supportive comments

[AapeliSeveri]

I love how each icon has its own creative power

[Sichi]

Lets be real here, when we watched this as kids we wanted TCO to win

[Murilo Moreti]

No

[Colin GZ Network Plus]

This video is 10 years old now as of October 2nd of this year! That’s crazy! Time does fly!

[glitchy tree]

i like how he plays minesweeper instead of just jumping on top of the window
