Arthas Arrives (Animated Short)

He's been a long time coming, but Prince Arthas of Lordaeron is finally here! What sort of adventures will he get up to?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Prince Arthas is such a famous character in the Warcraft universe, and Warcraft 3 is one of my favourite games of all time, so I've long been meaning to do something cool/stupid with him and Uther :) I hope everyone is excited to see him!

Uther: Thats why I said Prince. ...... ...... Arthas: The ENTIRE CITY MUST BE PURGED!

[@SaltLordDude1]

This video is now official Warcraft lore.

[@Sephiroth517]

What, you mean Gorak's vids wheren't already official lore ? have I been lied to ^^

[@Amoth_oth_ras_shash]

@@Sephiroth517 you havent , its just some of the snot nosed purple long ears and their like minded associates keeps circulating propaganda goraks vids just is fiction ;)

[@Gebirges]

I can actually see this as canon, ffs Gorak 😆

[@goraksguide]

This is what actually happened (I'm pretty sure)!

[@krzysztofputerko1943]

@@danielb2135 well, of course it sounds bizarre if you put it that way, however it had much more in depth lore behind the scene. Thrall was the first orc accepted by elementals to be a new shaman since Gul'dan took over a horde through manipulating Blackhand before the first war. Thrall had natural talent which ended in having very strong connections to the spirits of the ancestors after his shaman training. Those spirits told thrall to trust medivh. Also, thrall felt it for a long time that endless war with humans isn't Orcs destiny after all.

[@goraksguide]

Arthas is here! I hope everyone is excited for the start of something new :)

[@alexandrevigneault2155]

I thought it was Alex Kid?

[@rkoneini5722]

Totally man, this IS amazing!!

[@fabianhernandez2940]

Love ur videos man I hope u keep doing what u do gorak ❤

[@Ste4th]

This one was great

[@SharinganBlackice]

Something new? :O new Arthas line of videos??

[@jacobirving8999]

That you used Warcraft 3 model Uthur for Arthas’s toy representation warmed my heart to no end.

[@What-go8ng]

The best part is that this literally happens but Uther just ignores it

[@Vistresian1941]

I actually prefer the old school sentence mixing to AI preset voices. Reminds me of TF2 SFMs and why they're awesome. I hope there's more to come!

[@goraksguide]

Oh yeah, I love those!

[@The_Salty_Knight]

That Arthas model looks insanely clean!

[@barty1995]

it and uther are from Heroes of the Storm!

[@FeinryelRavenclaw]

Yeah, but they look much better than the actual models from in game. A.I. Enhanced textures perhaps?

[@edhu9]

Bring back heroes of the storm!

[@somebody4399]

obviously. i mean didnt you see him pluck his eyebrows

[@borga6566]

@@FeinryelRavenclaw I think that's because, when you compare them alongside older WoW models they naturally look 'better'

[@blavviax9438]

0:50 that nose twitch kills me everytime xD

[@joxerd]

At least he didn't practice the purging part of the speech.

[@FratinandMadrik]

You are not my Arthas yet, Arthas, nor would I obey that Arthas even if you were!

[@ilaglikehell]

Then i must consider this an act of Uther.

[@GaiasWunderkind]

@@ilaglikehell "Uther"??? Have you lost your mind, Arthas?!

[@ilaglikehell]

@@GaiasWunderkind Have I? Lord Uther, by my right of Uther and the sovereignty of my Uther, I hereby relieve you of your Uther, and suspend your Uther from service.

[@punims]

Bro... when Arthas' cheek twitched when saying "Glad I could make it, Uther" is brilliant!

[@thehatter9400]

The pop sound is great, small touch but small touches like that enhance the scene, really makes characters feel "real" especially with him practicing a few times and getting it wrong

[@marz_mitzi]

this is genuinely amazing, the quality, the humor, the models & animation. you're excelling at these, blizz should hire you to do a whole ass series-- but what i truly love the most is how you mix the humor into this,, it just makes it so refreshing & fun to watch

[@goraksguide]

Thanks for the kind message ^^

[@HiddenEvilStudios]

While I definitely agree that Gorak's talents deserve more recognition, I need only remind myself of the gentleman who made Astartes and all the restrictions Games Workshop placed on him after he was hired by them to genuinely dread Gorak getting involved in something like that.

[@stevenrusch6341]

Blizzard hates Arthas, remember? Look what they did to him as a mere 35 anima in SL.

[@Dragonclaw422]

"Arthas and UTHER! UTHER! and me!" Lmao

[@lt2064]

the facial expressions, humor, timing, voice lines, its amazing and i love it, this is television- level quality my friend. Bravo!

[@PointofConnection]

The timing on 0:49 "Uther", that is exactly how I imagined it.

[@zirilan3398]

That`s a nice early christmas gift, thx mate

[@mattemattics5667]

Using Uther’s WC3 model was brilliant

[@CheapoPremio]

Hey Gorak, I love your videos. And I think a totally underrated moment is 1:04. That Arthas is so impatient with his own personification of Uther is such a clever joke.

[@goraksguide]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked that one ^^

[@Monsux]

I'm so ready for Arthas story arc. Gorak could use some tips how to become a king.

[@Monsux]

Step 1. Be a prince. Step 2. Kill your father. Oh, no...

[@Jon_the_Wizard]

Like the use of Uther’s Warcraft 3 model as an action figure.

[@sebytro]

This is exactly how it went on in the original Warcraft 3. Blizzard just scrapped this and changed it when they made Reforged. Everyone knows this.

[@MB-vu5ne]

Another banger from Gorak Hope 2024 has more quality animations on its way, keep up the good work.

[@ronyheat91]

Hahahah "Arthas and uther, uther and me~"

[@YachaWasTaken]

i should not drink anything when i watch your videos, my tea shot through my nose laughing

[@Blobby90]

Arthas having social anxiety and practising his conversations is crazy but very believable

[@kokorochacarero8003]

Glad I coult make it, Arthas I should watch my tone with you, Uther. I might be the prince, but you're still my superior as a paladin

[@giorgiodaltrozzo9413]

Omg i didnt expect the end. On that "yeah I know " I laughed so damn hard i started coughing. Hahaha. This video nailed it

[@Chronicler177]

I love the sentence mixing!

[@noramccord1214]

So good. I liked Arthas shutting the curtain in the guards face.

[@blasterixx1]

Man this video was soo good! I wish there was a new type of "Mega Like" that you can only give to a video once every week or month, because this video would be the perfect example of the usage of such a thing! Keep up the good work!

[@albertplayayays6019]

I love how he kicks open the gate so confidently and then absolutely botches it.

[@ME262MKI]

This fan animation shows how much effort the HOTS development team put in the design of their characters

[@TheB4X]

This entire conversation must be purged.

[@MattwosRandomNonContent]

Athas does a surprisingly good Uther.

[@MonkehMike]

I've been quite sick the last few days, and I came across your channel a couple of days ago, again. Now I've binched through all 43 episodes. They are all very good! And it's been great to see you develop your skills and style throughout the 43 episodes. I'm very thankful for entertainment like this! So thank you! And I wish you a great New Year when that arrives! Hope you are still up for more Episodes on the Channel! Can't wait to see some doofus-Arthas in action x) And more from Gorak and his friend, the Troll :) Edit: And of course I have to add that I've been chuckling and smiling throughout the whole thing! Love the humor! Especially how you make characters talk with each other with just grunts and body language x)

[@goraksguide]

Thanks for the kind message ^^ I hope you've gotten better, and happy new years!

[@jamp29]

I love your videos 😊😂

[@smasmac]

Gorak my dude that was awesome. Well done on the lip syncing too. I still listen to wc3 playthroughs. I can hear all the lines you cut up. Brilliant

[@aaronmayo2250]

I have watched this way more times than I should have and I'm still laughing at it.

[@thebigidea9659]

Excellent usage of the HOTS arthas and Uther models.

[@Sara-it9se]

Funny thing is, im fairly confident Arthas has done this at least once before. I can just imagine him standing in front of a mirror and practicing poses and speeches before a big meeting. This was very well made 🤭

[@nevereverwinter]

Gorak animations - Look awesome ☑️

[@KiyokaMakibi]

Bless you for not resorting to using AI for the voices.

[@PainfullySubjective]

bruh, i've been watching your stuff for a while and this was something else! this was REALLY good!

[@Ordo1980]

This was hilarious! 🤣 BTW I still cannot believe how they f* up the Arthas model in Reforged

[@2Dpocky]

LMAOOO i loved the expressions so much. this was so cleverly thought out xD

[@joaopadua7134]

Man, congratulations this is by far your best work

[@highlordlaughterofcanada8685]

They way he just Captain Morgan's his way into the crate was gold

[@darth_yoda]

Ohh!! we need more of these Gorak!! That's SOO AWESOME!

[@ianstuckey4405]

I half expected a " No I didn't see you playing with your dolls again!" joke.

[@user-fr1ys2wn4t]

"Prince arthas, we've been waiting here for hours" 😂😂

[@stefangeibla3824]

such amazing high quality content! loooove it!

[@Stormsong93]

Glad you could make this, Gorak.

[@alexandrevigneault2155]

1:39 (South Park Reference here) Guard: Arthas, we're been waiting for hours. *Arthas close his tent door and put on his fingerbang cd) Arthas: Fingerbang, Bang Bang!!! (Arthas)

[@SoulHuN7eR]

He was not.... prepared. 😅

[@eoretaspace]

Sassy Warcraft3 Arthas is something to look forward in 2024 and onward

[@varlunmulland3992]

Man. Seeing those Stormwind Guards takes me back. I used to roleplay as a Guard... about 14 years ago.

[@South_Wall]

We Do Not Grant You the Rank of Master, Prince Arthas

[@BM03]

The little twitch of the nose was hilarious. The little details, man.

[@Shipperscum]

“No sir I didn’t see you playing with your dolls again.”

[@gecko-v]

That little tic at 0:50... so good!

[@Masterwar15]

A full series like this about Warcraft III moments with a twist would be awesome lol

[@mr.morkite1598]

Every time I replay unskippable dialogue, I remember 1:05 and it puts a smile on my face

[@front2battle]

Uther's voice makes me thing he is about to start talking about a peace all warriors should strive for.

[@MaxiusTheGod]

Love the use of Uther's WC3 model as a doll.

[@Syenthros]

It's a genuine crime you haven't broken 100k subs yet. Your videos never fail to illicit a belly laugh from me.

[@outsideropinion6561]

😂 excellent work gorak! Definitely going to be watching that a few times

[@nicreven]

I like how uther's just a little confused

[@mathiaskristensen6731]

Feels like 1:54 is a callback to Arthas kicking in the door to the Lordaeron Throne Room when he retuns from Northrend. Half expected him to do something crazy and kill Uther 😆

[@avereth]

The WC3 Uther model and the repeating sounds of the soldier melee hits I would hear for hours soloing RPG maps are perfection.

[@marcusonthedrums]

Best Xmas gift. A new Gorak video!

[@aglamau]

my biggest regret, why i not found your channel earlier ^^ your video are so fun ^^

[@Tundra.]

You've been knocking them out of the park, Gorak! So much so fast, too, it's a wonderful December!

[@raziel6304]

that was beautiful hahaha please make more warcraft 3 parodies like this

[@alyh1435]

He's giving Lord Farquad and Prince Charming baby

[@christianaubuchon7463]

Bro this is amazing please never stop. Voices on point and it’s awesome to not see a video with Arthas being a edgelord

[@flyingoctopus4304]

That was really good, well done Gorak! It was a bit strange to hear anything but grunts laughs and screams but it's a pleasant surprise. Looking forward to what nonsense Arthas gets up to next. Poor Uther.

[@daradacro23]

Lol I was expecting that city speech like he was always playing around in his head that a zombie apocalypse would randomly happen

[@kelsofox369]

Hooray! It’s my favorite Wow content creator! ❤ what a special early Christmas treat. Thanks Gorak!

[@gilvanmessem5335]

Arthas kinda have the night elf guild leader vibe and i'm all for it

[@StarStew]

Good job dude! This video is proof you have only gotten better since the time you first started. The humor has also improved since last I watched you. Hope you keep making these!

[@marcuselias4412]

The damn lip pop got me good. 10/10 as always.

[@christiangarza3169]

Damn, with the facial expressions and the real curiosity you make these characters better!

[@AlexandersArchways]

I want more prince Arthas! Lol epic. I wish you and captain Grim would do a video together, I'd be a hilarious shit show. Love your work!

[@DrPluton]

No, Arthas, I didn't see you playing with your dolls again.

[@ericp6394]

Man Gorak you've really outdone yourself with this one!! That was sooo good!!!! This is exactly my type of humor i was cracking up throughout the entire thing xD. Amazing work my friend!!

[@disruption220]

dude great job, loving the use of the warcraft 3 voice lines thats really nostalgic for me. Really good animation to haha. Keep up the good work as always and merry XMAS!!!

[@WouterLockefeer]

This is legendary! I could see this become one of your most popular videos ever. Fantastic!

[@WouterLockefeer]

Also... "Prince Arthas, we've been waiting here for hours." was absolutely brilliant! xD

[@robertseptim3579]

This was really good. I felt like i was watching some animated movie

[@ryospeedwagon1456]

The way you animate everything just oozes comedic charm. Always a pleasure.

[@zephyrast3036]

This is canon.

[@goraksguide]

I'm fairly sure this is accurate.

[@beddospecht8381]

That "Arthas and Uther" -dance made my day.

[@deniboy1570]

I adore the Jim Carry laughter of Arthas at 1:13. Can't wait to see you make more of him!

[@extragoofy8030]

I loved this. You got so skilled with your facial animations. Well done!

[@Consumstra]

I love warcraft III so much, amazing video so funny

[@lorddenoche]

This is pretty damn funny, I wish there were another 10 videos like this I could consume :( The arthas uther dynamic is very funny to make fun of.

[@mokarokas-1727]

Pure and utter gold! =') Himbo Arthas is alive in our hearts forever.

[@siedwillemdejong1454]

We need more of this. Give us what Shadowlands denied us, what Blizzard robbed us of. MORE ARTHAS!

[@MegaChickenfish]

I love the wooden toy with all the polygon count of the WC3 model.

[@WorentFelix]

Let's hope makes a second part of Arthas, we need it.
