Donkey Kong Vs King K. Rool - Donkey Kong Country Fight Animatic

This is my final for my storyboarding class. It's a good day when I can draw Donkey Kong for homework.

I love how DK's goofing off actually works as a strength, while K. Rool taking things seriously and personally leaves him open.

[@jyoster6447]

Really love how you portrayed the characters here. Donkey Kong is not even treating the fight seriously, toying with K. Rool and goofing off, but can get away with it due to how innately powerful he is. K. Rool on the other hand, is going all out and trying to land devastating blows on DK. But he's letting himself get too invested in the fight and leaving himself open for DK to capitalize.

[@sunsetlover123-y7c]

When you think about it, they're kind of in character.

[@mega6662]

@@sunsetlover123-y7c i agree, although K. Rool was always portrayed to have a similar power to DK but that never stopped the kong’s from never taking the fight seriously

[@supergeniuswithattitude1432]

It also ya he's a dumb gorilla

[@k-leb4671]

@@mega6662 If anything, K. Rool was portrayed to be more powerful than Donkey Kong in the DKC games, especially the first one.

[@mega6662]

@@k-leb4671 except DKC2 in that one it was a TKO on One punch

[@LuckyHicks2]

I love the idea of Donkey Kong using childish pranks to take down a literal monarch. It’s weirdly appropriate, especially with how goofy you made his smile and how comically big his hands are. Wondrous job!

[@Azureblue25]

Ikr, and now imagine a scene like this but with Seth Rogan’s laugh because he’s definitely voice acting Donkey Kong for the upcoming Donkey Kong movie since he’s already shown interest in doing that in real life, all while he’s using these childish pranks on K. Rool during their fight in the yet to be announced Donkey Kong Spin-off movie by Nintendo & Illumination, it’s honestly funny to picture a scene like this while we hear Seth Rogan’s laugh especially when you realize it’s close to becoming a thing to come in the near future, as far as who King K. Rool’s voice actor would be, I think it should be Benedict Campbell, he had the dedication to voice act the character again after he was asked if he could voice act him just this recently in 2023 in the animated short Return to Crocodile Isle here on KZbin and he was the voice actor for K. Rool for the Donkey Kong Country TV series all the way back in 1997 and the show ended in 2000, at this point it would only be appropriate to let Benedict Campbell voice act K. Rool given his dedication to this character and how excited he probably would be and maybe he already he is if the movie is already being worked on in secret and we’ll hear an announcement for it any day now.

[@soron_questionmark]

i like how dk isn’t taking this seriously whatsoever

[@lucaspalomino-fs8tz]

It looks very in character for me

[@kai_lopez9855]

This makes me want a DK movie even more

[@TheSameGoobyGuy]

Based on the success that the Mario movie had, we might get one.

[@kai_lopez9855]

​@TheSameGoobyGuy Hopefully they do K Rool right

[@TheSameGoobyGuy]

@@kai_lopez9855 I really hope K rool is the main baddie, bro hasn’t been in a mainline donkey kong game for almost 20 years

[@kushkong1339]

0:30 Idk why but I love that yell DK does. Really feels like hes giving his all in that blow.

[@alco_the_crocodile]

Supremely entertaining and on point with each character's personality. Wonderful work laimfunk!

[@FunWinKing3]

Donkey Kong and King k rools rivalry is unlike any other. King k rool is more of like a bully just trying to embarrass Donkey Kong and prove he's better in every way

[@charlespackowski6620]

Someone watched Designing For. A person of culture I see

[@smithydavis1033]

No he isn't, He tried to starve their island out, kidnap Dk to demoralize his island, used both Dk and Diddy as human batteries to power his machine. And when he couldn't get the island he decided to destroy to it spite him. He's still a tyrant just a crazy one

[@GXlden_Guy]

A very nice analysis

[@Prosteedaman]

Loved everything about this! The animation was really smooth and I loved how you kept their personalities! Amazing work :)

[@sillygoober_1001]

I love the personality of DK and K. Rool in this. You perfectly captured it.

[@nose2189]

God, what a good animation, it turned out excellent, I love that there are people who like DK and make these animations, you can see the love and dedication they put into it

[@clownsharks]

0:35 that face, man... that beautiful face.

[@masterofdimensions7928]

0:42 King Kong?

[@Darthnitro120]

Take my like and leave

[@thekevstertv]

0:25 I laughed real good when k.rool looked down and donkey Kong got all happy. Great animatic 🤙

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

Both DK and King K. Rool's personality are in this fight is spot-on. DK is goofy and playful to take the fight seriously, while K. Rool is intimidating but well-headed on the delivering blows to that ape. They are equally strong, but the Kong overpowered the Kremling King with the powerful punch that can expand dong.

[@padmanproduction66505]

Imagine that the Super Mario Bros. Movie's spin-off, the Donkey Kong Movie, would have this clip!!

[@simondelgado339]

Omg, the "made you look" finger flick! Ha

[@StarmisYTP]

This is something I would love if a DK movie is to happen. It is just perfect for it.

[@franciscopenajr3909]

If they were to make a Donkey Kong country movie, this should be included

[@EmeraldTopazz]

I love this! The characters are all very expressive and I especially love the way you draw DK!

[@bboy_33]

This is soooo GOOD! The characters are so expressive and animated I absolutely love it. You deserve a Golden Banana!

[@brittoncominoli5348]

That windup punch was freaking cleannnnnnnn

[@cloudideasstudio]

If Nintendo and Universal studios make the second mario movie I hope King.K.Rool makes an appearance to help bowser with Mario's friends because I would love to see this happening between DK and him

[@stefanbesendorfer1323]

It's nice how DK, although his kidding around, takes his enemy serious.

[@sarcasticspastic2960]

This is incredible work, so full of personality! This makes me really hope we get to see something like this in a DK movie

[@Harrymation-productions]

This is great! I love how dk’s not taking the fight seriously, and I love how smooth the animation is.

[@charlespackowski6620]

Ngl this is one of the best interpretations of King K Rool and DK I’ve ever seen. Nice work with the art and characterization job well done

[@psiwasp5919]

What I love about how you drew K. Rool is that he isn’t necessarily fat. I don’t have a problem with a chunky croc, but seeing him like this just feels way better to me.

[@austinrowe8]

When Donkey gets punched in the face for putting K rools crown on, the noise he made just made me loose it. I don't know why,but its so funny once he gets picked for it.

[@GenericProtagonist118]

DK doing the Country Returns combo to K. Rool is so good it should be a crime that Nintendo hasn't done it in a official game yet.

[@ferr.6109]

This is the most in-character ive seen DK being in a while. Absolutely in love with this!

[@Tot4433]

Great animatic! Both characters were super expressive, and I love the goofy vibes they have

[@Mhedez07]

Now this is the DK i love i cried with joy from this amazing job

[@Springdude11]

Perfectly cartoony, just what I would expect

[@toastedbread359]

THIS IS SO GOOD this needs more views

[@Embodimentofmentalillnesses]

This is awesome I don’t know you made this awesome animation cause I love DK❤

[@tackett_jedi-6541]

I love this already!

[@justinmelendez9875]

Everything from the artwork to the sound to the personality in every frame is incredible! Fantastic work!

[@JesusDaLawd]

This is an example of when fans understand the material more than the company that owns it

[@ElHadjBrahim]

DK Country Movie sneak peak. lol. This was well animated. And DK with his render pose in the end. Absolutely wonderful.

[@fireflowerfilms2010]

0:11 the attention to detail here, K rool is technically a alligator so it makes sense he would attempt to snap at DK.

[@PabuPabu]

if you dont get an A+ on this for your class the professor has it out for you. Well done! Loved it!!

[@josearielortiz2055]

You are already storyboarding the DK movie. It’s final battle. Gotta pitch to Illumination. Edit: you know what else would I like to see? DK saving Pauline from King K Rool

[@eeneranna9795]

I'm sad he didn't say "ookay" from DK64 at the end. Other than that, this is perfect.

Not that anyone cares, but I love goofy cartoony video game villains

[@conflictede]

This is so expressive and rad! Good work!!!

[@apestudios4580]

This is the KZbin video of all time

[@Wario_B]

I love this animation so much!!!! this might be a hot take but I love K. Rool’s smash bros voice so this really struck a cord with me! Also gotta know what audio you used for the roar at 0:17, sounds really menacing- til DK gets him with the ol finger below the chin prank!

[@laimfunk]

I found a generic monster roar on KZbin and messed around with some effects in audition to make it more smash bros k rool-y

[@Wario_B]

@@laimfunk thanks for the info!

[@kingtritonprime7513]

I was really Hoping that they were at a Seth Rogan’s laugh or his voice in this fight

[@Gecko1993HogheadIncOfficial]

We need to get Alex Henderson to animate this. It’d look so beautiful!

[@maximus4765]

Dk is just such an absolute fella in this lol

[@GhrexSD]

If Retro Studios did a remaster of the original DKC trilogy, this would be perfect as the cutscene for when you defeat K. Rool in DKC1. With the part where DK starts punching being where you mash the x/y buttons.

[@Jelmerlicious]

This better get more than 205 views or I will be mad, this was genuinely amazing

[@khajiitwarrior]

Diddy Kong vs Captain K. Rool next please.

[@rafaelesteves2104]

this is awesome

[@THEFANTASTICFUNGUS]

Dam now i want a dk animated tv show and no we don’t talk about the other one

[@LuisDGamer]

Si me dijeran que esto es un storyboard de la que sería la próxima película de Donkey Kong producida por Illumination, me lo creería sin dudarlo.

[@JakeWasAMistake]

Ew, when you paused on the punch frame I remembered donkey Kong has thumbs on his toes, hate that

[@mrmopmeeps9505]

Love the goofey charm you put into DK

[@VampyreBassist]

The Returns ending we sorely needed.

[@Omar-yl4qv]

Wohhhhhhh Donkey Kong is my inspirational one of the reasons I started working out

[@mightychroniclesuraniusvol6449]

This should happen in the next Illumination movie about Donkey Kong taking place after or before the events of The Super Mario Bros Movie

[@PhoenixMario]

Hahaha I love this, its exactly how I’d imagine a fight between them actually go I subscribed 👍

[@trragnarokgoijrusvexious9075]

Someone put king k rools voice from the donkey tv show over this, it would be hilarious

[@monkeydrajanka4798]

0:31 i could hear Donkey Kong yell Banana Slamma In my Head

[@darienchandler5136]

As a k rool main I hate this lol. But as a person this is a great piece of work!

[@crfstewarje]

I like how DK isn't even trying here.

[@gregordyballa]

King K. Rool was created to be stronger than Donkey Kong.

[@AJstarlight23]

Holy crap this is amazing! 👌🏼✨️ 10/10! Freakin' bada##!!

[@SHROOOOM]

This is the best piece of animation I’ve ever seen.

[@RobotPlush]

I’m curious as to why you chose the Country Returns theme instead of GangPlank Galleon

[@laimfunk]

Gangplank Galleon was my first thought but the smash ultimate version was too fast and intense for what I was going for, and the original DKC version wasn’t as lively as I needed. The Returns theme had that perfect blend of goofiness and intensity, and it briefly transitions into being more upbeat - perfect for the finale of the fight

[@zacharycardon2353]

Yep. That's an accurate depiction of a fight between these two.

[@facumorales3660]

Bananaaaaaa Slamma!

[@922sunshine]

This animatic short is awesome and Donkey Kong in this animatic short is awesome too! 😀

[@Doomzillapitcures]

The new donkey Kong country movie looks amazing

[@carbodude5414]

If we ever get to see these two fight on the big screen, the destruction should definitely be over-the-top

[@BlusterTheBenevolent]

Now THIS is some good stuff. Really captures the feel of the DKC1 fight pretty well.

[@pascalgagne221]

Is will be nice to see a Remake but with Color

[@kubilaybozkus8214]

I wish there was a dk movie

[@LeFrance_Chip]

godzilla vs kong but a kids show

[@aziz_khan]

This is the greatest thing I've ever seen I love it so much, awesome job!!

[@dragonprobro]

Be cool to see this in cooler

[@videogollumer]

This is pretty good, hope you made an A.

[@mlo71598]

Epic as hell

[@ysf2151]

This DK🦍 looks Like The one in The Super Mario bros Movie Some how (and the mood too).🤔 So.... can King K. Rool🐊Be like That in the Next film, The Donkey Kong Country Movie?

[@pdbferox2635]

I’m surprised you didn’t have DK say “Banana Slamma” before that punch to the gut. Lol

[@bluecow3529]

This had so much personality and was full of fun I loved it

[@juanmonreal4014]

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if something like this happens in a hypothetical Donkey Kong movie

[@learninganimate3181]

Imagine if this was fully animated

[@ryancurtis5425]

The cracking on K. Rool's belly armor was badass! There needs to be another Donkey Kong Country cartoon!

[@blankcanvas3358]

I don’t want people thinking I’m trying to attack Illumination’s Movie. But Donkey Kong being a non verbal goofball feels like an opportunity missed.

[@Nazo-kage]

He might wanna watch himself. Because I specifically remember the fake out Kredits. And then king k rool gets up to start round two.

[@mawdewile]

DK is an absolute goofball

[@masedaace5473]

I wish K rool had some of the human noises he made in DK64 and Jungle Climber, besides the animal growls. Otherwise, this is phenomenal!

[@vidalteeluck1970]

The only reason Dk fought K rool was because he wanted his *SHINY* crown.

[@zealkurusuthegatorman5439]

This just prove that our Jungle Overlord Donkey Kong wins again!

[@d.k.islander8095]

This makes me hope they make a Jungle Beat-esque game returning the Kremlings or movie DK getting his starring role

[@TruaxVoiceover]

I love this lmao

[@cloudshifter]

Excellently structured. Great camera angles and interesting back and forth between the characters. I genuienly enjoyed every second of it.

[@thecubecubecube8651]

THIS IS SOOO AWESOME AND WELL MADE!!!
