Book..? AM I MISSING SOMETHING?!

[@marschique2694]

@@Miss_Ala there's a book called " dreams come to life " created by one of joey Drew studios authors i suppose , the events take place after the ink demon was created and it's starring buddy who's an important person to the game , not knowing anything about the book i suppose you don't know who's buddy gonna end up be so , read the book to know , there's a lot of lore for a BATIM fan to enjoy , although this video spoil some stuff , i guess there's a lot more in the actual book

For anyone wondering, this is an adaptation of the book Dreams Come to Life taking place before the main game in 1946 following the life of a Jewish Polish man named Danial or Buddy whose father died in the war, he works in the studio where he hangs with Joey Drew as a delivery boy. He befriends an artist named Dot and the two investigate the Studio where they met Bendy, Buddy is then captured and turned into the Boris in the main game

Dot was such a fun character to voice! I'm so proud to be a part of this beautiful animation, along with the team that made it all possible! I was Circus Baby in one of Dominoe’s previous videos, and it is astonishing how much improvement there is in every aspect of this animation (which is saying a lot because that animation was already next level)!

Damn... Whomever did laurance definitely got his voice right^^! Sammys voice is accurate to what he'd sound like without the inky body. Minus a slight pitch. But it can only get better in due time I'm sure^^

[@l0cal-r4t]

The added touch of "Projections" on piano when Dot and Buddy see Norman in the studio. That little touch really hit me. Maybe it's because I'm really familiar with the song and I love the Projectionist. But it gave me some goosebumps. Edit: noticed, there's a piano version of "Amen" when Sammy shows up again. Absolutely love the nods to the fan songs 😌

[@andromeda1533]

The animation is stunning! I also like how it is animated like one of those old movies in the beginning, making the atmosphere unsettling :) The voice actors did a fantastic job too. Thank you for this masterpiece!

[@silv2309]

I love how when certain characters enter the scene, various fanmade songs about them play- for example, Projections by CG5 when Norman showed up.

[@wynandcore]

HOLY BAJEEZUS The absolute accuracy yet tinge of creative freedom you all took with the original novel and translating it to animation is fantastic!!! I love the addition of the flashback scene specifically. The acting, facial expressions and body language that all the characters exude is fantastic as well, it’s so cool to see these scenes that I remember reading translate so well into an animated video. You should all be proud of yourself!!! Hope this video gets big numbers :)

[@wynandcore]

Okay but also Norman’s voice actor in particular???? Absolutely top notch, they all had great performances but man the characterization he gives to Norman is so different to how I looked at him, but I will now forever see him like that.

It's things like this that I crave for. The animation was fluid, the story was brilliant, the tone and horror elements were pulled off wonderfully and the acting was just the icing on the inkified cake!🎂 And I love the implications of the Bendy songs, like Build our machine! I haven't read any of the books, but I have a faint idea behind the story of Buddy. Seeing it like this makes me want to actually read the books more now (especially with the new one coming next year). I particularly liked the voice work. Especially Bendy's voice actor, Logan Chipman, who has an amazing voice for Bendy. That, "Run," was perfect. And James Hare did a great Henry. Also, Henry walking into the studio is pretty much iconic in the Bendy lore at this point. Joey's personality is just spot on. Cunning and imaginative, but manipulative to those around him. Trying to make dreams come true. And that ending... damn. You can bet, I'll be checking more animations from Mr. Dominoe.
