Deck the Halls (of Northville High) // Black Friday Animatic

[@ahashi1924]

I was taken off guard by the 'Ring a ling ding' not sounding exactly how it does in the show and then I realized, "Oh, this is the studio version."

[@HeyItsPockii]

Jordan D haha sameeeee

[@justcameron4765]

Yeah it was more “ring a ling ding!” not “𝗿𝗶𝗡𝗴 𝗮 𝗟𝗶𝗡𝗴 𝗱𝗶𝗡𝗚” sorta took me off guard

[@gabrielbrown9128]

for me, it was the "ThAt'S RiGhT!" of Jangle... or Jingle... idk

[@LoverOfStuff]

YES! I was just like “This isn’t Robert being way too extra wtf-“

[@aria-rosebrowne8010]

Ion know something about the show extra ness of ring a ling ding. Is beautiful

[@parfaiti5979]

i just can't stress this enough: jingle and jangle are s o *s m o l*

[@gretep]

I mean Lauren’s elf is pretty accurate in terms of height...

[@bryce4395]

ThaAat's right!

[@gwenlumandas]

omg it’s even more High School Musical now

[@julesking1303]

the opening reminded me so much of the start of the sequel where they’re all like “summer! summer! summer!”

[@FionnFisher]

I love how the Jeff high schooler still looks like Jeff Blim. Like, everyone else could believably be a high school senior, and then Jeff just looks like some random middle aged man who walked in off the street

[@CantDraw-bq6pj]

How do we know he isn't? It'd be very on-brand for Jeff's characters

[@toxicdemon1315]

I'd believe he was a high school student frankly. I've seen some high schoolers that look like Jeff, just minus the beard.

[@margaretbonassar709]

This animatic really makes me want a Santa Claus is Goin to High School movie now

As someone who is a Kris Kringle fanatic this does so much justice to the song!! It’s gorgeous!! Well done!!

[@13CheesecakeLover13]

Imagine finding this and not having seen or heard of Black Friday, so you decide to watch it and be confused why the whole of act one was about consumerism and a fucking toy.

[@sammoblammoboom]

HOLY SHOT DUDE I DID NOT EXPECT ANY MORE BLACK FRIDAY ANIMATICS AFTER THE ONE I SAW WITH OUR DOORA ARE OPEN, THIS IS AMAZING, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE

[@espinoza1546]

I hate how your typo makes me think of yuh know Dora . . . .

[@Otisboy121]

3:37 shrinks down to a small movie screen as the camera turns completely around and pans down and zooms into a certain section of the seats and rising from it, is a dazed Tom) Tom:...........”da f$&k am I watching?”

[@sliceofmaggpie]

THIS IS SO CUTE AND THE EXACT KIND OF STARKID CONTENT I CRAVE

[@classifiedclassified9271]

the way you put in the video part for the only part of the song i know the choreo for was LEGENDARY ilysm

[@thatcrazynerdgirlproductio4481]

This animatic gives me such High School Musical and Be more chill vibes lol! Love it so much!

[@alexlikestodraw458]

I love how you incorporated basketball into this! =0 Also I found it interesting how you made Jingle and Jangle tiny. This animatic is great. Thaaatttt’s right!

[@clovejubilee5227]

Gee high school musical the musical looks great

[@noahjohnson5603]

1:08, really pristine animation - flowed so well together. Keep it up!

[@aliendxde]

ikr??

[@BestgirlJordanfish]

It's honestly almost lifelike whoa

[@elenahause]

when you think about how darren criss was originally supposed to play kris kringle

[@Quackervoltz]

WAIT REALLY?!

[@zaynamogus]

This anamatic made me realize so many things. Kris was most likely called to the office because he was leading an entire group of students in a sort of flash mob on school grounds. And I don’t know if it was just me being stupid but I JUST realized that “Northville Mistletoe” is like their mascot. I don’t know if that’s some huge discovery or if I’m just dumb.

[@Penta-Grahamcracker]

This is the most Disney-Channel-Movie thing I’ve ever seen & I love It!

[@c1nnamodoll]

people who havent seen black friday and have only seen this animatic think *very very* differently of the musical than the rest of us do

[@tabbytacocat]

lol what if someone used this video to pitch black friday to their friends. like “so there’s this musical i wanna watch with you guys...here’s a sneak peek to see if you’re interested” and then they watch the actual black friday and are just like wait no what did you show us then until they get to act 2

[@lukeraymond1679]

I don’t know why I can’t get on board with the studio version but I like the animatic!!

[@lukeraymond1679]

JINGLE AND JANGLE DONT SOUND LIKE THEYRE ON COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF CRACK AND I DISLIKE IT

[@raissabrito880]

I can’t stand almost any Starkid studio version. Just going by the fact that live is SO MUCH BETTER

[@LoverOfStuff]

No ones being extremely extra, and it doesn’t give off the crackhead energy I love their music for, so I also can’t stand most of them. :/

[@sillygoosetaur]

Raíssa Brito TGWDLM didn’t fuck it up at least

[@namee466]

The "I dont fill like drawing this part" at 1:07 reminded me of I dont really wanna do the work today from firebringer lol

[@harveygeorgefoster]

NHS is the acronym for Northville High School, right I just had a small brain moment

[@HeyItsPockii]

firemagewizard *SMOL BRAINNNN*

[@rinisafool]

Finally somebody makes an animatic of this song. This is so good!

[@cultspina]

I have pride for a school that doesn't exist.

[@RaeDoesStuff]

I CAN'T UNSEE NHS. I USED TO THINK NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE AS IN NHS in the UK but now I just say Northville High SCHOOL

[@Zkretchy]

This feels so energetic, like I am ready to help pass the ball and defeat South High and I can't even play basketball!

[@AnEnemySpy456]

Every Hatchetfield show needs a Robert Manion musical within a musical that has nothing to do with the plot.

[@flaxyus996]

Omg that is so Kris Kringle!!1! You're style is so cute and detailed, plus I laughed at parts when you just gave up drawing somethinf

[@kailavanderwielen3588]

despite this song explicitly being about basketball, I always imagine hockey instead

[@BunnyEars357]

I imagined football

[@hmasterchaos8700]

I just realized the joke (this might be a stretch) Northville High vs South Heights aka North Pole vs South Pole

[@robinlock5184]

this song has no right to be this catchy

[@donutdownpour6959]

IS THAT A MCFREAKING ICE CUBE TRAY SHOPKIN IM

Jingle and jangle are so cute

[@Braincel85]

I only hear this when it’s almost Christmas now it’s a habit 🫠🫠🫠😁

[@onionxd695]

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL IS QUAKING good job!!!

[@airconditioning2183]

Best part is the "I don't know how basketball works"

Noelle... I-I cant

[@animecrac5596]

i did not expect this song to get an full animatic but im so happy we got one

[@zeinfeld]

cutest thing i ever saw. his little nose.

[@edgarallanpoestan]

I’m so obsessed with Jingle and Jangle here

[@CoolCrimsonJaguar]

if you showed this animatic to someone who didn't know anything about black friday they have vastly different expectations going into the movie than anyone else.

[@wtfjackaboy]

*I just realised that Northville Mistletoes is the name of the basketball team*

[@PhoenixHavok]

I would honestly probably watch this entire musical/movie if given the chance.

[@heewonyoo9150]

you can!! its free on yt

[@carriejones2827]

@@heewonyoo9150 I think they meant the “Kristopher Kringle” film not Black Friday

[@SeaKnight_Rory]

Seeing the banners with NHS on as a Brit I immediately went to healthcare. I guess it's all the rainbows and signs I've been seeing while walking my dog. And the adverts... and YT vids....

[@sugarcube5826]

When I say I clicked fast- Oh jesus that was adorable. Good job.

As a brit I was like why NHS, is this support over this tiring time? Then it clicked for me, I'm a dummy, it's 'Northville High School'

[@eternalmiasma5586]

you know how working boys was something that was just kinda random and not relevant too much to the overall plot of TGWDLM? And then they actually (kinda) made it? I want that to happen to this
