BANJO-KAZOOIE: The Opening // Animation 1

[@JinjoJinjoJinjo]

1:28 I love that Grunty freezing as she turned around was kept

[@9words40]

respect, short film probably the hardest single person project out there

[@cookiesontoast9981]

I mean.. Making a game is probably the hardest. I know from experience Especially since if you want cutscenes then you have to make multiple "short films" to go along with the game! But agreed, this is really good! and mad respect for his work.

[@theamazinggamer111]

This was incredible! The fact that we get to actually SEE Tooty get kidnapped is awesome! Keep up this incredible work, my guy!

[@XXshadowman9000XX]

I feel bad for Tooty, that poor child

[@PrincessQ-fj9ly]

Me too. Poor Tooty! 😢 I can't imagine being taken away by an evil witch just so she can take my beauty away. 😢

[@Scary_Mask_Tomboy]

Yeah, I really wish Tooty had her own character in the rest of the Banjo games, i thought her character design looked really cute @@PrincessQ-fj9ly

[@Jontaneous]

I love the creative approach you took to Tooty being captured, felt a lot more personal with Banjo being barely too slow to save her! Great work with this animation.

[@PrincessQ-fj9ly]

I agree with you. Don't get me wrong. I have no issues with the original intro. But this remastered version of the intro was more exciting, especially when Banjo almost immediately got up and ran out of the house to try and save Tooty, only to be barely too late, not that it stopped him from going after Gruntilda and Tooty, nor did his lack of fighting experience. ❤ It's more relatable too, because I'm sure we all would rush to save our loved ones almost immediately. 💕

[@DiegoVeristain]

Love the retelling of Tooty’s kidnapping. I like how Banjo actually tried to saved her. I’m looking forward to more retelling cut scenes from the games. Great job 👊🏼

[@PrincessQ-fj9ly]

Me too. Don't get me wrong. I have no issues with the original intro. But I would have loved to see Banjo almost immediately go after Tooty.

[@pablinage]

The animation is definitely rough and definitely could use some smoothing around the corners, but this is still a phenomenal video and a really good take on the original cutscene, would love to see more!!

[@LankyTurtleMedia]

Cheers!! I’m still only new blender and got a bit to learn. Hopefully next time will be smoother

[@jjopification]

Agree with the rough animations, but man I gotta respect the work you put into this as a single person. The original dialogue / story ideas, the camera angles you were going for. This is how a remake should be like and I could be happy if (the future hypothetical person in charge of that) directs these cutscenes like you did.

[@googleuser4720]

[@NoxWyatt]

DUDE I WAS HOPING SOMEONE WOULD THIS!!! This makes me want a remake even more! 😭 In all seriousness amazing work I love it! 👍

[@dailysiren9000]

I love Klungo’s face at the end! He looks SO done with Gruntilda’s bullshit!🤣🤣🤣

[@stevenhuddy3269]

The animation is very much rough, but DAMN if Banjo doesn't seem like a badass here.

[@VinnimonCinnimon]

3:01 - 3:12 *Chills man* So well done. It makes the tension super high here I love it

[@GatorOne-in7hk]

Wow, this is great! Instead of Banjo being so lazy that he completely misses Tooty’s capture, he gets up immediately and tries to save her. A much needed improvement over the actual intro in the game.

[@ericscott4860]

Gruntilda is one dumb witch who always gets outsmarted by the same bear and bird who both have the biggest brains yet than she does! Awesome job!

[@latenightwatchers]

Love how fans always put more love into remaking/remastering their childhood games than the companys that own these games today and that could make a fortune out of those games ..

[@ZetaBetaTheAlpha]

While some spots definitely need a bit of work, you have lots of potential! This is pretty close to how'd imagine a Banjo-Kazooie modern remaster cutscene playing out.

[@greendaleforever]

An opening I've had memorized by heart for decades and you made it even MORE impactful and effective! W E L L D O N E!

[@bcrossfire1219]

Grunty: "Hurry Klungo, pull that switch! I'm tired of being an ugly old-" *double-checks script* "...That 'B' had better be a mistake, or else someone's bones are about to BREAK!" Mumbo: "Hur, hur, hur..." Nicely done video! Reinterpreting the kidnapping as an on-screen event that Banjo tries to stop is a more dynamic approach to the whole matter.

[@DecoytheSkeletalBoy]

My only caveat to this is that Kazooie should have had some sarcastic remark when she said that she wanted to go on an adventure too. Like Tootie asking "really?" And Kazooie responding. "No! Now let me sleep!"

[@TheHedgehogEngine]

Amazing job! I would love to see more shorts like these in blender, I know it's tedious af but the results sure are worth it!

[@LankyTurtleMedia]

Cheers mate!! I’ll definitely be making more of these in the future!!

[@Tamashikiri]

"What do moles know about witches' lairs?" You're one to talk, Kazooie; from what I remember in the original game, you guys didn't even know about Grunty until Bottles explained the plot to you. And your house is right next to mountain carved in the shape of her face! :P

[@KingBobStudios]

I remember seeing this a while ago and I had no idea it would evolve into a whole movie! Keep up the good work!

[@twikki9071]

Takes me back to 1998! What a classic this game is.

[@TruTwist]

This needs way more, I mean WAY more views, because this is beautiful!

[@pikhik816]

This is the Gamecube Banjo game we all deserved

[@PrincessQ-fj9ly]

This was absolutely brilliant! I love this version of the Banjo-Kazooie intro. 💖 Don't get me wrong. I have no issues with the original intro.

[@ishpaltheretrogamer8714]

Wow! The banjo kazooie fan animation and the opening scene, are giving me a nostalgia feel on the video. Nice work!

[@SonicJrandSarah]

That turned out really well. A bit different from the original opening, but still good.

[@danielshottopics8187]

I Miss Banjo Kazooie I Hope they Bring it back for New Consoles.

[@chrislecount4801]

Is it just me, or did Gruntilda’s eye change size since the original Banjo-Kazooie?

[@HiragaSaitoZero]

This is the most close thing for a B-K remaster, thanks for this insta Sub and Bell!

[@ellebastonart]

The chicken noodle soup inside Dingpot cracked me up

[@JazuJacu]

Haha, Grunty and Klungo being fans of FF and have remodelled the beauty swapping Chambers with the Nibelheim Mako reactor pods...thumbs up sir!!!

[@forrestannis909]

FF?

[@IvanLerma759]

There's so much changed in this compared to the original it's strange yet okay too.

[@BsKHacker]

I love that you added scenes. I'm not sure why but it felt like the frame rate was better near the end. Keep at the good work can't wait to see where you go!

[@Corviknight2678Animations]

That was well made! Love how you showed how Tooty gets captured. Nice job!

[@erainmartinez8175]

[@projectdreamstudio]

Awesome stuff!

[@LankyTurtleMedia]

Cheers! If you're ever interested in a collaboration I have some ideas for a clankers cavern/ mad monster mansion episodes and would love to utilise your recreations!!

[@projectdreamstudio]

@@LankyTurtleMedia Absolutely, let me know if I can help! How were you able to get the smash bros model of Spiral Mountain? I found it online but Ive had no luck with the formats and textures.. Any tips?

[@LankyTurtleMedia]

You are using Lumion right? I don’t really know much about that sorry… but in Blender I found an MMD model online and reset my preferences so that it would be compatible. As for textures I left it relatively the same for the most part except for any shot with Gruntilda’s lair. For those shots I adjusted the lighting settings in workbench that more naturally blended the rock cliffs with the lair. All characters that are in these shots are on a green screen in order to maintain continuity in lighting. After which I jumped into premier pro where I was free to tweak the colours further without affecting the characters. I have a link to my Instagram in my bio feel free to jump over and send me a message anytime!

[@projectdreamstudio]

@@LankyTurtleMedia Legend thanks for that found the MMD file and found an online translator to import it into C4D.. Had to manually retexture which wasnt too bad.. Have brought it into lumion and its starting to look good.. Keep an eye out I will post this in the next few days! Let me know if you need any models.

[@buzter8135]

Finally, someone did it.

[@beauwalker9820]

Looks great, and recreates the intro nicely, while adding a few new different touches. Though, I kinda wish it still had the throwing and splat sound effect when Gruntilda picks her nose, and flicks a booger away.

[@adamcourtney9796]

What a good job thanks for updating it we all have been waiting it might not be the real game but you did great

[@FastTquick]

This is an amazing animation of a game from my childhood. Even if I think it feels too rooted in its N64 roots and too herky jerky in some places, it’s still an improvement over the original and would fit within a Banjo-Kazooie HD remake.

[@elld-elld]

I just love this so much

[@LogicProduction]

Love the work you've put into this. I liked the changes a lot also, gives you extra motivation to fight the antagonist. Keep it up!

very nice animation, i liked the retold story such as tooty jumping on banjos bed and the dramatic climax as tooty tries avoiding grunty while banjo dose put a effort to save her. oh and this bit 2:51 which was a re-animated sephiroth reviel expression. i hope you make more cutscenes for this game and hopefully tooie.
