Barbra was an absolute DELIGHT in this animatic- like when BJ said “punching a baby” she just grabbed her pottery like- THAT WAS SO CUTE.

I like that when BJ says "Raising the stakes by punching a baby" Babs just,, protectively holds that vase thing which I assume it's a reference to Ready, Set, Not Yet! ^^

[@twist_ending7545]

I bet it is a reference.

[@AnaxErik4ever]

I giggled when I saw that bit.

[@itsparisarts6612]

But nobody is gonna talk about Adam dressing as a baBy-

[@isaackinsley1662]

I don't think they want to think of a grown man in baby clothes. Tis quite disturbing

[@kylebecerril1547]

I don't even- No

[@artsyhoodies]

As BJ said, "Adam, I don't even know-"

[@LykaiosLupin]

I would give you my kidney for you to animate the full show. I love this style so much. But unfortunately I need that kidney, so I'll just watch this two animatics in an eternal loop.

[@twist_ending7545]

I only have one functional kidney, how much does an essentially dead kidney pay for?

[@vivivee2771]

I AM WILLING TO SACRIFICE MYSELF

[@hahahaha8192]

Don’t worry guys, I plan to sacrifice my physical form soon, so that’s gotta have a good drop rate.

[@fist-of-doom487]

One thing I really appreciate about his design is keeping the mullet he had in the show. Beetlejuice was described as basically being a shady car dealer by people who worked on the movie. Which is why they put him in a suit but still made him trashy looking. The Mullet-Suit combo was always a good sign of “maybe you shouldn’t be making a deal with him”

[@Heatstruct]

I volunteer as tribute

[@oshahott2532]

Omg seeing Barbara grab one of her pots at the "punching a baby" line was probably the best visual gag I've ever seen lmao!

I am ashamed at how aggressively distracted BJ's fangs had me for literally the entire video. I have to watch it again because I couldn't pay attention to _anything_ else.

[@milajvde]

Adam: “Dress like a baby” BJ: “Adam- I dont- I- no.” The best line out of this song. Cant change my mind.

[@GearsOfPizza91]

That line makes me just start laughing every time I can't even finish singing along

2:17 Barbara has never been more of a mood

[@xynthia8987]

Wow the expressions for Beetlejuice were brilliant! I loved the creativity as well with his delivery and visual gags. One thing I'd note is that some of Barb's early expressions come across as bored at times as her eyes are a bit too hooded but other than that this was so amazing!

[@omarhajar9822]

ALSO THAT ANIMATION AT 2:17 , MAQNIFIQUE 👌

Not gonna lie the ratman is way too hot, I'm not used to it. Also these storyboard are incredibly clean, they look amazing!

[@justin2308]

I like how in both animatics I’ve seen, Beetlejuice seems more hopeful for Barbara to be scary than Adam, then ultimately decides that together, the two of them are completely hopeless.

[@thevoiceactor6978]

[@thepersonwiththepanels5351]

This was so perfect! I /adore/ how BJ here seems to be such a loving combination of all three (heh) incantations, the sheer personality in each movement from all three of them, how much comedy is added with the choices in the drawing (like summoning random ghosts to be the chorus!), just,,, THIS WAS PHENOMENAL I LOVE IT SO MUCH

[@clorbdorb1245]

Ok, so, first of all, uh, wow???? Usually when I love an animatic, I have something to specific to compliment, but this is seriously so good that I can't really figure out how to put into words JUST how much I adore this. Your art style is gorgeous, for one. Then the expressions? Brilliant. The staging? Perfection. Every little detail adds so much to the song and you've managed to both capture the characters and put your own unique spin on them. Also this might not make sense, but I have synesthesia which kinda tangles the senses and your lineart is crunchy?? Like in a really satisfying way. Idk how else to describe it but believe me when I say it's a good thing hbnjkm Anyways! I adore this animatic and you have singlehandedly chucked me back into BJTM obsession from 2019 so thank you for that.
