i like how i could hear griffin buffering in between each line, as he unboxed each precious memory of this beloved song from the acclaimed musical Dogs from the vaults of his mind palace

[@gormauslander]

Ah yes, the mind palace

[@rattyeely]

I love how you can just tell he's struggling to make a song like "Memory" and then winds up making a Le Mis song by accident

[@eliza1498]

he put w a y too much force and existential dread in that introduction for anything other than les mis and had no other way to go but forward

[@alainajobe5823]

LOL YEAH its very le mis 😭

[@nathanstein8762]

once he did the "these bones of mine" bit, there was no turning back

[@ruleofthree99]

It sounds so much like he was about to start “Look down” and then was like. Wait.

[@worldwidewebstertheinterne4924]

lyrics: LOOK ALL MY BEAUTIFUL BONES GOD!!!!!!!! WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME MY BONES !!!!!!!THEY!!!!!!!! THESE BONES OF MINE OH NO IN THE CITY MY BEAUTIFUL BONES IN THE CITY WHEN THE NIGHT AND THE MOON WHO AM I? OH GOD

[@affablegiraffable]

"They" is the best part

[@Netromish]

Griff must be some kind of musical genius. I can legit hear a lot of Jesus Chris Superstar in his phrasing :D

[@wherethewildthingswere]

truly profound lyricism

[@Shancyyy]

Lin has to be ghostwriting these right? No way these are just off of Griffin’s dome

[@azraelle6232]

@@Shancyyy I would love to hear Lin do a rendition of Dogs

[@Arcade_Cat_]

When the dog got on the bus to be in the city, I really understood the theatrical intentions of this musical

[@nyarg33]

Yeah it was really the most consistent part of the whole piece. I wish they had leaned into it more, like where did the bus go after it dropped off the dog, were there any stops along the way to the city... Think about it won't you? Thank you

[@OldLadyMapleSeed]

Omg the part took me right out

[@chelseafrisbie4863]

When lil dog Griffin flips on his back and says “Why have you forsaken me” I went into outerspace

[@juliawhitmore3991]

what kills me about this is I really feel like he nailed down what an Andrew Lloyd Weber musical sounds like with no context

[@mr.grahamca]

I have watched this easily a dozen times now and I will never not laugh at dog valjean in his little coat

[@rufus.a8968]

W H O A M I

[@theoraclehostvessel]

The bread really makes it

[@danielvengrin7903]

I so badly wanted him to just abruptly shift to "TWO FOUR SIX OH OOOOOOONE".

[@NeogreenPeaches]

I dont quite understand this reference. Could you provide some context to the connection between the line "who am I", the coat, and the bread?

[@mr.grahamca]

@@NeogreenPeaches who am I is a lyric from the musical Les Miserables, so the dog gets dressed up like the character that sings that part, Jean Valjean (famous for stealing a loaf of bread)

[@weneedaladder8384]

On my fourth replay, I finally realized that by "bones" Griffin means like the kind of bones dogs chew and bury, not the bones inside the dog.

[@morganl5875]

a bold assumption

[@casertanick]

i love when he turns into a frog for half a second

[@abj6920]

I wish more musicals had ": a real musical, I promise, dude, it's really a musical" at the end of their titles

[@edoboleyn]

I’m going to start adding it to them anyways.

[@emilysmith2965]

Anything Goes

[@shockofthenew]

if Lin Manuel and Jimmy Buffet ever collaborate to make MBMBAM: The Musical it should definitely have that in the title

[@abj6920]

@@shockofthenew I know those two are very deep in the mcelore, but their music styles put together would be true agony

[@LilyTheSmol]

@@abj6920 That's the entire point, the music should clash in the best possible way

[@annar4795]

thank you for truly capturing the stricken look on dogriffin's face as accurately as anyone could possibly have conceived it

[@morganpercy-fine4432]

I’ve watched this six times now and I lose my shit at “who am I” every time thank you for this gift

[@InsideMyHead95]

It’s Travis’s genuine shock and confusion at suddenly being thrust into a canine les mis that kills me. “…who am I…” “wHAT???” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@minette36]

This plays in my head whenever my back/shoulders/knees start crunching. I feel you, lil dog.

[@murmurgamy]

I would actually watch a whole movie of this little old griffin dog singing in snippets about bones. VERY GOOD animatic!!!!!

[@lizarding2078]

there are like 12 lines in this song but the Experience somehow feels. like a Lifetime. thank you for this good good dog & the accompanying contextualization with the visuals to really sell the true theatrical feel of it 🙏

[@hr8919]

Babe, wake up, meilybox just did Dogs again

[@emilyowens1352]

this is the content i come on this website for

[@shockofthenew]

The fact that Jacob Drawfee has seen and loves this animatic makes me very happy :')

[@NateCummings]

dogs the musical 2 the sequel to dogs the musical

[@affablegiraffable]

When he wailed "OH GOD!" everyone in 2021 felt it

[@margie7375]

you have made an animatic that is so incredible and deeply engraved in my soul that even 4 months later i will be minorly inconvenienced and immediately turn into a little spectacled dog and start wailing about my beautiful bones

[@meilybox3065]

my friends and i can't stop reciting this bit. i have cursed us

[@JoshBrak]

Thank you Jacob "The Bad Boy of Drawfee" Andrews for pointing me here.

[@theblacksmudge300]

Usually things get less funny as you watch them over and over but this is my like eighth time watching this since it was uploaded and im fucking weeping. The OH GODs get me every time

[@DuchessRococoPuff]

I’ve watched this like five times already and every time I watch it I just lose it. Dog Griffin is so good.

[@mylahobbit1815]

when i first listened to this bit i actually keeled over laughing as I walked to dinner so some randos saw me make a TERRIBLE noise, stop in place, and put my hands on my thighs like I was trying to hold myself up and failing miserably, for apparently no reason. this captures that feeling perfectly

[@CubeJello]

That quick “look” in the beginning kills me

[@romeomaybrier8991]

I just want to say that this is literally the funniest video I’ve ever seen in my life, I lose it EVERY TIME. something between Griffin’s comedic genius and the way you draw the dog?? KILLS ME my friends and family hate me because of how many times I’ve made them watch this video it is truly a work of art and I thank you

[@meilybox3065]

this makes me so happy thank you

[@goopydoopy6539]

it amazes me how well he has the tone down i could hear this on the silver screen by tomorrow

[@hackerling]

i have never heard of this podcast, i've never seen your channel, but this was a hilarious animation to watch and have no context for and i am so glad i was lead to it ahaha

[@meilybox3065]

aw! glad u liked it!!!

[@nolen_void]

I don’t know which is more inspired, the dog turning into a frog on that croak, or dog Valjean. Both are peak art

[@dayglobetty]

I'm obsessed with the bot where Griffin first says bones and he lunges forward, it gets me so much every time.

[@haandotexe]

by the time "in the city" rolled around I had skipped laughing and went straight to crying and wheezing. I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. thanks for the amazing animatic!

[@danielmullen6482]

the les mis bit kills me every single time…. the LOAF PNG…..

[@tamaraandersson2532]

I still can't get enough of this animation. It's the epitome of what MBMBAM is to me. And I've sent it to everyone I know who's ever heard of something called a "McElroy".

[@lydrv]

This is the greatest mbmbam animatic ever made everyone can quit nothing will ever top your little dog griffin

[@Optimustully]

If I could get Griffin asking God why he's forsaken him as a ringtone or audio clip that would be nice.

[@chrisshimizu8656]

i've never watched cats the musical but from griffin's parody it sounds like a mix between phantom of the opera and rent which is pretty sick

[@yeahno3896]

The "Who Am I" bit gave me a musical whiplash

[@mickeymcnulty6152]

Everyone's so focused on dog Griffin, but I'm loving the movement when Griffin says "BONES" for the first time

[@user-vs2ql5gb1b]

Why is sad dog Griffin (2.0) the best thing I’ve seen all month?

[@DevonPalmer98]

The little griffin smile at end gives me life

[@maxwasthere]

The two dislikes are from andrew lloyd webber and his lawyer

[@Secondary_Identifier]

Every frame elevated everything about Griffin's performance to new, unfathomed heights. Griffin was fantastic, but this is a masterpiece. 🧐👌

[@matthewm1133]

there’s so many good things about this but the tiniest thing that makes me laugh so hard is when griffin sings the first line and justin opens his eyes real wide like he’s embarking on a religious experience

[@jordancasssandra]

Griffin becoming a frog for half a note is such a beautiful and hilarious touch

[@liz8002]

The way you’ve animated dog Griffin saying ‘in the city’ has me WHEEZING!! I’m ashamed to admit how many times I’ve replayed this 😭😂 Great work!

[@holliferhollifo]

I thought the bit itself was pretty funny, but this animation has skyrocketed it into another level. It looks so simple but you've added such dynamism with the shake in the griffin' dog as he belts his wee heart out about his bone tragedy. That mini transformation into frog was just mwah *chefs kiss* I have cried laughing at this on multiple occasions now!

[@ranibowsprimkle4185]

I feel like this is *exactly* what a musical written by a dog would sound like

[@mikeyunderstars]

i don’t know why but my roommates and i find this hysterical. we come back to it every few days and have the whole thing memorized down to the random periods of silence griffin has while he’s trying to think up new lyrics. it’s our little inside joke and it’s thanks to this animatic and we love it

[@panicatthedogpark]

This video is only a minute long, but it feels like a full 3 hours with a brief fifteen minute intermission. I love it.

[@cheyennebarton]

this dog so perfectly captures the vocal quality griffin is bringing to the table, it is impossible to imagine this voice coming from a human mouth

[@camaro8402]

I love this animation so much. All the details are so amazing, down to the nail polish on Travis, the Valjean coat and Griffin dog turning into a frog when his voice cracks... it's so clever and hilarious. I watch this like once a week lmao

[@kjess713]

I love skrunkly dog Griffin so much, thank you for making this

[@tareklewis8998]

When I heard this on the podcast I immediately thought that some talented person should animate this

[@bethanyrothrock9896]

Same I was literally waiting for the first animatic to be made so I could save it😂

[@scj8863]

I think this masterpiece definitely qualifies as an animation, not an animatic. So many key frames!

[@mar-rv2qb]

you always pick the BEST bits to animate

[@PappyBiceps]

I’m going to OD on the amount of times I’ve rewatched this already. I struggle to breathe through laughing

[@duck2322]

I have seen this video so many fucking times the JOY it brings me. Griffin turning into a frog for a second always gets me

[@Feasco]

dogs are too good to have an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical written about them

[@DaMaLoJo]

As somebody who isn't really a fan of musicals, this legitimately sounds like the soundtrack to every musical (but the animatic is a vast improvement)

[@the-wild-pitch]

I love how Travis gets progressively more bewildered whenever Griffin bails on a sentence halfway through and starts a new one

[@Mchammer37]

When I first listened to this episode, I was on the floor crying laughing. Happy to say this animation really adds to the whole experience. (The 'Who am I?' moment is utter perfection.)

[@jarofjam5705]

this is the funniest thing i’ve ever seen in my goddamn life. i’m sobbing

[@blueskybelyr]

The way he catches a bus TO THE ciHTYYYYY.................. christ this cracked me up

[@hyacinthly]

i can't stop watching this it's literally the funniest video of all time

[@thegoblin.youknowtheone.7051]

I’m hyperventilating trying not to die laughing and wake everyone up holy shit this killed me

[@How-Do-I-Nezzy]

I do not know if this is the animatic they were talking about on Drawfee this week, but I love it anyway

[@camillelee-own8380]

The split second frog absolutely sent me thank you so much 10/10

[@crazzilla7203]

This has so much character, great job!

[@HeavyRayne]

Jesus christ I've watched this like 20 times and I'm still dying

[@hx0ad5]

i have contributed so many views on this video. by far my favourite mbmbam animatic. it never fails to bring me joy

[@andrewduncan2258]

I just watched this 7 times in a row, back to back and laughed like crazy every time. Thanks for curing my depression

Lyrics: Look All my beautiful bones God Why have you forsaken me? My bones They These bones of mine Oh no In the city My beautiful bones In the city When the night and the moon Who am I? Oh god

[@rancidprince3133]

There is not a single complete thought in this song

[@cardinalargie]

"when the night and the moon. Who am I?" beautiful

[@adams3627]

The split second of toad-dog-griffin is the best part

[@Peepumms]

I could tell this was a mbmbam animation without looking at the title because the dog looks exactly like Griffin.

[@HerTresTails]

love this broadway aspect griffin has brought to the table

[@amandabacon128]

The quick frog appearance was a amazingg

[@xKagryx]

When Griffey said “THEY-!!…” Felt that.

[@user-ld6th3vw8e]

I watch this whenever I need a boost. Griffin really nailed it and all the dog's movements and expressions knock me out

[@bicarbonat1]

It's like "Oliver & Company," but with absolutely no up-side to anything.

[@ManyMonstersMedia]

Omg I went to find the vid in my history and it wasn’t there I was so scared!! This is my favorite right now

[@shammyturtle9741]

As soon as he sang “these bones of mine” before going to the city I knew he was gonna end up singing Les mis

[@milena9891]

I love this! The design of the dog is perfect.

[@emiiyd]

I rewatch this like once a week thank u for your art

[@erikab7689]

I need you to know that I have watched this video at least a dozen times. It plays in my head every time my chronic pain acts up. Thank you for this gift, your animatic skills are perfect. 💯

[@Warrigt]

Deja Vu

[@catamescatames]

I've watched this like 5 times but it still cracks me up so hard my stomach starts hurting

[@lich4109]

dog griffin is so good oh my god

[@leahl5007]

I love how you transition from one Griffin-Half-Thought to the next. It provides to the only amount of sense and logic in the whole song! 😂

[@DelialaPenguin]

i say "THEYYYYyyyyy...." every single day

[@NarenLol]

My favorite line of the movie: thEyy 0:30

[@CaterinaMastrogiacomo]

I've watched this clip 5 times already and EVERY. DAMN. TIME I start crying out of laughter. It's amazing

[@jillianapinnerson751]

ALW just posted a tiktok saying he's writing a musical called Dogs and when I tell you I RUSHED to this video

[@-w-1870]

The way you animated the first "BOnES" will never leave my brain. Thank you💜

[@scrimmybingus6876]

I think about this constantly

[@arloschneider9962]

I think about this video every day of my life and it brings me such peace

[@0oleso0]

when he transformed into a frog for 0.3 seconds!!!! AMAZING detail

[@starrykev]

dog griffin developing an existential crisis in the span of a song is a big mood

[@hanbanan7926]

I love every second of this, I want this whole video as a tattoo
