Its fun how before villager news element animation did many other things not around Minecraft and their "mascot" was a living egg character. But since villager news was so popular they became their new "mascot"

[@leflamewolf]

From making animations of an egg to animating for Mojang, Element Animation has gone a long way since 2011. Also the inclusion of the goat eating glitch in the animation is my favorite part of this whole thing.

I think that if they keep making less and less videos every year, then this channel is going to faded into obscurity. At this point, I think they're moving on to make projects for Minecon and working for clients. While I feel sad that they're no longer produce egg content, I’m happy for them to try something different away from KZbin and stuff. And I'm using Maya for animation school. Even if they announced that they would quit KZbin, I would say, thank you for the memories I had with this channel and best wishes for the future.

You guys are my favorite. Been watching since I was 12. One of the biggest reasons I'm so obsessed with animation now.

The frog clipping through the glass actually makes more sense. Cause grass in minecraft has no collision so the frog would phase through it in the normal game.

3:55 that locked chest is actually a pretty good idea for a minecraft update

[@bwp70]

Locked chest is already a 2012 April Fools joke.

[@mike-._]

You can simply break the chest and there's also the ender chest which is a way better concept

[@SuperAndroid0013]

If you have commands on, you can lock the chest by modifying the block data using the base command of /data and figuring it out from there. You can also set a name for an item to act as a key, so that only it alone can open the chest. And this lock property doesn’t just apply to chests or ender chests. You can use it on Barrels, Brewing Stands, Hoppers, Dispensers, Droppers, Smokers, Furnaces, and Blast Furnaces.

Imagine creating a locked ender chest, try to unlock it and steal peoples stuff only to get your own stuff

I didn't realize the voice actor for Steve passed that is very tragic he was very funny in your animations and made everyone laugh. I still wish there was a way for the Eggs guide to Minecraft to continue. If I remember correctly it left on a cliffhanger and was one of the more or so older animations. I am so glad though to see you guys growing and staying popular.

This is really awesome. As someone who recently got to work in an Animation Pipline in a technical capacity it was really awesome seeing some of the intricacies your own pipeline struggled with throughout this production. The end reault too was really awesome for what is effectively advertising and not a big budget animated film/series. That Maya or Blender only bit is really true about pretty much rhe qhole industry. Though what I will say is I don't think maya is here to stay forever at this point. A lot of people are getting fed up with it. But the rigging and animation tools maya has are still the standard and a lot of pipelines are built around Maya atm so it's gonna be a long slow change for studios to move past Maya if they eventually do.

[@fireBlazeAnything]

I like how the video consisted of a few references to old videos. Here’s all that I could find. 0:50 A squid lands on the villager’s face. This is a callback to the song 500 Chunks, a parody of 500 Miles. At the beginning of the second chorus, a squid pops out of the water and lands on the accompanying villager’s face. The scream also sounds similar. 1:40 James is asked why he’s in the call, and he replies with “But I want to be in here.” This is a reference to the last Minecraft Short, James isn’t allowed in here. At least he isn’t kicked out this time, though. 12:47 A reference to the original Christmas with the Villagers. A villager in the original clip, throws a snowball at another villager. This time, though, the villager throwing the axe isn’t attacked like in the original.
