[@noodlefunny]

incredible work

[@abdulmuminabdulmumin4732]

Dude, please give this channel and this video a shout out. It deserves way more attention.

[@pinkierayy]

​@@abdulmuminabdulmumin4732 agree

[@Telepurte]

Genuinely one of the best animations ever

[@rr2878]

I agree

[@NarukamiOTC]

For you to say that, tells a lot!

[@FearTheQldBl00d]

true, kinda shocked that right now, it only has 6k vieqs

[@mrvinyee7539]

as you wish my king

[@termitesc.aardwolf3644]

This feels more like a pilot episode than anything. Like there's all sorts of lore waiting in the wings. Hope this evolves into an indie cartoon series like Helluva Boss. Has a lot of promise and the vaporwave shift in the final act really caught me off guard.

[@Hel7100]

Seems a pilot to me, too. Lots of questions whose answers I'd love to have.

[@termitesc.aardwolf3644]

@@Hel7100 I'm especially dying to know more about Blister (he's easily my favorite character).

[@RedstarIsHere]

*synthwave

[@BonW]

109% agreed man, such a good short film and I'm really really hoping it'll turn into something more.

[@andyblood-beard2214]

Got more episodes of this?

[@Ducksen]

i cannot put into words how high quality this toon really is. so much style in only 7 minutes it's unbelievable

[@saintlycharles]

Finally, America is no longer DMO-less, our suffering is over

[@user-j1l1f891]

The fact this doesn't have 10m views and you don't have 1m subs should be considered a war crime. This is unbelievably well done and I really really really hope it gets traction.

[@Omahdon]

HECK YEAH this was awesome! Thanks for having me on as the voice of the lovably cowardly fish lad Bubbles!

[@ottagol1985]

Glad to hear your voice in this one!

[@polychrome2838]

THIS HAS AN ABSOLUTLEY INSANE AMOUNT OF POTENTIAL AS A SERIES HOLY SHIT

[@vipahxxx7640]

I really, really hope it becomes a series, it's so good and i cannot get out of my head, the animation and artstyle is just so expressive and smooth and the characters are charming and iconic.

[@sonicman155]

That was incredible!! Thank you so much for having me on board!

[@MariSkyVA]

my VA big brother sean voiced brick! this is amazing!

[@packinggodroaster1]

I like the flames behind when the scene of brike carrying something!

[@sourstudiosmadethisvideo]

This feels like an indie Netflix original that was meant to be on Adult Swim. I can also see it getting a spinoff show and two video games

[@_Sunsetfork]

The blended 2D + 3D style is so charming and I LOVE how chewy the character expressions are✨️

[@latexu95]

4:13 Pretty cool how they all got their own glowing neon colors.😊

[@OliverSmithVAVO]

Incredibly excited to finally see this! Thank you so much for letting me be a part of it! (Also Lily is best character and I'll fight anyone who disagrees)

[@marmgie]

YESSSSSS ARIANA NORORIS IM YOUR BIGGEST FAN

[@JesusWithShades]

0:53 I like the implication that blister ate someone here

[@latexu95]

7:05 I like how their distinct gangs have members close to their own species: Mondo's Pirates are monkeys, Rally's Predators are reptiles/amphibians and Blister's Punks are mammals, mostly canine and feline.😉

[@Olibheare]

WAAH THIS IS SO GOOD!!! The 3D work and fx especially were exceptional. I was really looking forward to this film after working on Pipi and you guys completely blew it out of the water!! The style and BITE this film has!! My favorites were definitely the bosses and their crazy ships. I'll definitely be watching out for everyone putting out their individual work after this.

[@PartDoggo]

4k views,, this has such good quality for something like this

[@jessejayjones]

Love the multimedia aspect of this. You can tell right from the first few seconds how much love and work went into this ❤ Also loved the cameo stickers on the tank! xD

[@toxiquid]

this was a visual feast for the senses, and is the best student film i've seen by FAR. the complex integration of scratchy but amazingly fluid 2d characters, 3d set pieces, and eye popping visual effects that make everything seem that much more graphic are integrated EXCELLENTLY. There's a TON of love poured into every facet of this-- would love to see more in the future! bravo! you and your team did an excellent job!

[@clamdeity]

this animation went so hard i forgot that i didn't come here from recommended, and now i'm pissed off that i didn't have this recommended to me bentley my beloved

[@SpectraDragon]

This looks better than most cartoons that exist

[@KillerAndMX]

The Wild Northwest is always a great set

[@WahekDoe28]

Fact this doesn’t even have 100K views in a year is disrespectful

[@CharlieDonnie92]

I'm in love with this animation, every second caught me. I hope a lots of people come to see this masterpiece, it really deserves it.

[@toddyqueimafo]

i rewatched this 3 times and i still cant find a single flaw in this,this is awesome,the best 2D animation i have seen in youtube for a LONG time,the character designs are perfect i love EVERY single aspect of this

[@bluetrip_]

Seven thousand subscribers and 60k views on this is just unacceptable from the KZbin algorithm. This is a creative fucking masterpiece. Unbelievable.

[@frolicart]

Dance with the Dead at the credits is the cherry on top

[@NightFangClash]

I could go for a whole full series of this. It has some real potential to be something fun and interesting to watch and lore to explore.

[@Jacqthepossposs]

we've been blessed this year with so many really good animated short projects, but this one I've been looking forward to since I first saw the rough cuts on Twitter. It just oozes style that I can get behind, the high octane sequences, the cute but but dynamic character styling, the color choices, the seamless 2D and 3D blending, the high energy and kooky cartoony sound design, even the one beat comedy moments. Literally not a thing in this I can think of is out of place. This is indie animation at its refined and perfect state! 20 out of 10!

[@God-dq6yx]

Gotta love the 2D and 3D mix

[@PANCAKEMINEZZ]

Okay but Rally Ransacker is making me act up...

[@quibblemellow]

this the the piece of animation ever

[@maxwellschwass]

THIS. IS. WHICKEDLY. LEGENDARY

[@JoelyMoleyYT]

Amazing work this whole thing is eye candy front to back. Great sound design as well

[@drawnbydaniel]

Good gravy this is INCREDIBLE!!! The style is so cohesive and well-realized - I've never seen anyone have this much fun with anime camerawork. This desert-punk-rock world is so sweet, and the designs so good... though none can compare with Blister. He is perfection.

[@bloozal8788]

Very well done! It's very visually interesting and I'm very in love with the characters already. I'm definitely interested in their backstory and wouldn't mind an episode 2.

[@vipahxxx7640]

and a whole series, that'd be dope.

[@conkersuprfan]

inmediately fell in love with the artsyle, va work and Blister 🥰 hopefully more DMO in the future!

[@vipahxxx7640]

I hope so badly, i literally can't get enough of it and it'd be so good as a series.

[@Broccolikusok]

This was GREAT and MUSIC!!!!!!

[@gentlesin1301]

The only thing I could complain about this video is how underrated it is. This is a fucking masterpiece.

[@BrandyBuizel]

tell your friends!

[@SnufflySpy]

Ofc they had to fit in a vaporwave sunset. What a rootin' tootin' animation

[@andykorn9837]

THIS IS INSANE WHATTTT AMAZING WORK!! I’m blown away by how much detail and effort and attention to trying to make the characters as expressive and animated as possible there was! The style really reminds me of OK KO

[@Geppty]

Holy fuck this is stunning, bro sold his soul to animate this

[@CalzoneStudiozOfficial]

ya want a definition of peak? this video gives us our answer

[@snowysnail2018]

GUYS WE HAVE TO MAKE THIS BLOW UP!!!!

[@mansourly6321]

This should be a show

[@MifaWasTaken]

actually really underrated and excellent

[@-CloClo-]

I feel like I watched a 7 minute long ad for a nonexistent video game and I love it.

[@not_cool404]

This would be amazing as a show

[@grahamtheturtle6126]

Criminally underrated

[@misster490]

I REALLY hope that it'll evolve into series!

[@tommyflavio]

I loved the art style. Rather, the collage of art styles throughout. I would totally watch anything done like that

[@BBWahoo]

Absolute sheer technical talent. I'm almost speechless, MORE! My god.

[@vipahxxx7640]

This is sooooo good, i can't getr enough of it, i just love everything from the stylish artstyle, the expressions, animation and especially the creativity of it all, especially the allied gangs, hope to see this become a series so we see more of the characters, and hopefully the return of the gangs, i just feel there's something about them that feels like we should be seeing more of those guys.

[@cadenbaldocchi6774]

Damn, this is pretty good

[@vezoth6055]

Oh this was a delight to watch

[@baronmadschnapps]

A stellar blend of the various mediums of animation. Outstanding

[@NunnyNugget]

WAiT HUH THIS ONLY HAS 36K VIEWS? Aight that needs changing this needs to be enjoyed by SO many more people

[@lt.bagels]

The art style and character designs go SO HARD here. Loving the mix of 2D and 3D too!! Can’t wait to see more, this is some of the coolest animation I’ve seen in a long time

[@58pixels23]

AHHHH STYLE ANIMATION STORY CHARACTERS I LOVE THEM ALL SO MUCH THE VOICE ACTING PLZZZZZ DO MORE I LOV E ITTTTT

[@lilaloweree5908]

i love the motion

[@thestooge200]

That was AWESOME!!! I hope this might be come a short series some day!

[@chachicore]

THE ANIMATION IS SO GOOD WHATT

[@latexu95]

This is a really interesting blend between 2D and 3D animation, both of which work together flawlessly.🥰

[@fishyboi2132]

Really needs to be a series

[@chainsawboah]

I'm at a loss for words. This is how I hope for other people to feel about my future animation work. Phenomenal doesn't even come close to properly describing this

[@jeffscrungle6179]

This is incredible, thank you so much for all of your hard work, and making the world more beautiful.

[@dictator_of_canada3412]

This is a really good not gonna lie

[@MoonfishyTheMoonfish]

I like the cartoonist style.

[@SageFighters]

wtf?? this deserves WAY more recognition!

[@Soapy_Milk_yt]

my heart has grown 3 sizes

[@AurrenTV]

Feels SUPER Cel-Damage: (Overdrive) inspired, even the title.

[@CherryBeScary]

If this isn’t a pilot, it should be. I refuse to accept this is a one off. I’ll dig into my savings for there to be another episode if I gotta.

[@anxitled4317]

Yeah, no, this is beyond incredible. If there has ever been a moment where I’ve been on the edge of my seat for a group of characters, this is, without a doubt, one of them I can’t wait to see what you come up with next!

[@ZimoNitrome]

holy effort

[@katied4362]

I can't believe I've never seen this before, this was phenomenal

[@Pudgle]

To all the people who made this, yal dropped this 👑 absolute legends

[@artsage63]

I absolutely love the visuals

[@wigwagwagon]

HOLY SHUT THAT WAS AMAZING!!! CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE TEAM BEHIND IT ✊

[@matchknee]

I'd like to formally offer Bentley the role of 'my favourite little guy'

[@ElMachoMucho]

This deserves a lot more views

[@frost_star]

This came out looking AMAZING! Well done to the team, and thanks for letting me help out in this!

[@emel6423]

If this had playsets and toys I'd buy em all

[@BrandyBuizel]

basically 2D FX the movie, ariana and co. went ham

[@ZachAsterisk]

spend any fucking time animating to know how sick this is and holy shit i cant believe the talent hard work and sheer dedication it took to make this, non profit, STUDENT film

[@Green-Hybrid3017]

Stand proud desert mayhem, you are strong. 😎

[@snowman3456]

It felt like i was watching Spiderverse such good and stylish animation omg

[@Lynaboo22]

Yooo I’m loving all of the references in the stickers!! Nice!!

[@ineedumonstataclobbadatder4499]

This is one of the best online shortfilms I've ever seen and it's a student film?? Amazing work.

[@TengolfCat]

My god this is wonderful I love the silly part (all of it

[@DrawtoonzStudio]

That was awesome! Struck a really good balance of action and semi-implied lore. Great work to everybody involved in this short. 👍

[@johnlittle8045]

Woah, I love this. It's stylistically great. That sunset design says so much

[@the_doug_digital]

turbo-late comment but! it was truly surreal to see this in the theater after a whole year!

[@mrflorida2050]

I love the animation it has a great art style, A blend between 2-D and 3-D animation, A great concept, and awesome characters and voice acting but if there was one thing I had to complain about why didn’t brick and his friends fight back he just got his ass whooped by these gangs and just laid there I mean yeah he distracting them Long enough for the worm to eat them but come on man you know it seems like every cartoon nowadays has pathetic main characters and not that much fight scenes anymore but hey I digress maybe I am nitpicking at the most smallest flaw in the series but anyway It’s still a great animation also I especially love the Y2K aesthetic of it it’s really badass

[@Teathling]

now that's some good animation alright

[@c2lex78]

3m of this shot and I aleardy liked it. hope we can get an series or an contiue or somthing beacuse damm the artstyle is absolute

[@lemmy4965]

The worm The worm is at the top of the food chain All jokes aside though, this looks amazing!!

[@sublimepyrokid]

Absolutely gorgeous. Incredible work
