omg this was SO GOOD! When I was 12 years old I messaged sWooZie on Facebook with an animation I made and asked for his thoughts, having been incredibly inspired by him as a creator. I never expected it, but he not only responded, he encouraged me too saying if he could make something like that when he was 12 - who knows where he'd be now. That message stuck with me for a long time (I'm 24 now). To be encouraged by my favourite KZbinr meant the world to me and hearing in this video that he didn't get as much encouragement as he needed is a sign that he wanted to do for others what wasn't done enough for him. Adande absolutely deserves his flowers and I'm very appreciative that KZbin put this together - it honours not just him, but all the people who have been deeply touched by his work over the years. Thank you ❤

[@YouTube]

it's touching to hear how that message has still stuck with you, and look where you are now!

[@wavyjuicehq]

sWooZie is the grand father, the blue print and agent zero all at once, it is so rewarding to see him get the recognition he deserves

[@YouTube]

couldn't have said it better myself!

[@swoozie]

Joining KZbin is hands down one of the best decisions I've made in my life! Zero regrets. I've made connections with subscribers, Google/KZbin staff and creators in the community that I look up to. If you're on the fence about creating, consider what I would've missed out on if I never started posting videos and the same could be applied to you. Every community is here and brewing with opportunity and like I mentioned in this (AMAZING) doc, your creativity is your only limitation! Just do it!

[@TARdee]

I love u swoozie

[@lilcherry444]

i’ve been watching you for 12 years! love your content ❤ thank you for being you!

We love ya, Swoozie. Glad you’re getting your 💐❤️.

[@itsalexclark]

SWooZie will forever be an inspiring legend and he’s so humble to boot.

[@MichaelWarbux]

This was GREAT. I've been a big fan of Swoozie for YEARS. He deserves all of his flowers. I've seen him stand for hours meeting fans at VidCon when he didn't even have an official meet & greet. He's loyal to all his fans and friends and most importantly, he's made a huge impact on this platform. He's always been a "KZbin Hero" of mine and I wish him continued success. This video is exactly what I needed to see today.

[@earnestp]

I SAW HIM DO THAT, TOO!

[@YouTube]

love to hear how he cares about the community!

[@jj021593]

He deserves all the flowers! 😊

[@swoozie]

My fav is here! Love u boo! Thanks for checking out the doc!

[@YouTube]

one of the 🐐 creators for sure

[@Kaidez]

Swoozie has been on the platform since the start, he is what being a KZbinr should be!

[@user-cp7yv9vi9l]

Swoozie has earned the title: Animation King ✊🏾

[@angrybirdsking123]

I'm a grown ass man but watching this made me shed a tear. Seeing swoozie succeed is such a good feeling, this man taught me so much when I was younger. I see swoozie as that distant brother that is always there no matter what. Living my best life with this man's wisdom and knowledge guiding me every step of the way. Going into my nursing program and gonna be saving lives and you can thank swoozie for guiding me through the years. CONGRATULATIONS KING🌹

[@F1ll1nTh3Blanks]

Man, this guy was my hero, literally dragged me through college. His content was all the smiles I needed to keep pushing through so for me, he's a legend. Always got time for Swoozie.

[@YouTube]

it's great to hear that you pushed through, i always have time for Swoozie too!

[@lupiniiistrike7896]

I wasn’t expecting to see Swoozie getting his flowers. I love this

[@SabrinaSkyline]

As a Trinidadian-American and a gamer, I love swoozie and have been following him for so many years. He's been inspiring and a great role model. Big up Swoozie ☺️🖤🌸 I hope these future generations of West Indian parents are more encouraging and supporting of their children.

[@zaidgallegos121]

This really showed a deeper and different side of Swoozie he deserves everything he has earned !

[@YouTube]

im glad you liked the look at the man behind the drawings!

[@stewboy69]

This guy deserves more credit than the most popular subbed animation storytime channels because he's the original inventor of a whole entire genre on KZbin. He comforted and influenced a whole generation.

[@celestehernandez2000]

Swoozie is my CHILDHOOD!! He definitely deserves all the credit for the amazing videos he makes.

[@YouTube]

gotta give credit where credit is due!

[@inuyashaluver58]

Seeing Swoozie cry just broke my heart. I just want to come through the screen and give him the BIGGEST hug and let him know, “Everything is going to be alright. Everything is in God’s planning and you’re going to be SOOO blessed!” You, Swoozie, ARE the reason animated storytelling exists on KZbin. You were the 1st person I saw on KZbin and watched religiously; “Kiss and Tell”, “2 Girls, 1 Ice” (the OG video), “Kissing a KZbinr” (the OG video), “My First Kiss” (the OG video w/ Futurama playing in the background). You were placed here at the right place at the right time. You paved the way for SO many others, so they had a chance to show what they can do. To show that animated storytelling is an art form and therapy at the same time. God had His plans for you, Swoozie 😊 He knew exactly what you wanted and blessed you tenfold! You work SO hard and all of this is nothing but blessings! Know your worth 🙏🏽 and take the time to care for yourself; mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually 💙 Forever a homey of The Swoozie ✊🏽

[@PlanetAfterlife]

Been watching Swoozie for over 10 years now! His content has never fell off in quality. Truly a GOAT of youtube.

[@JawbreakerJuice]

i remember watching my first swoozie video and being like, i’m gonna do that one day. big inspiration. GOAT 🐐🐐

[@TheGamerAtticus]

Swoozie is one of the goats of KZbin. Bro was a pioneer in KZbin animation and deserves all the respect in the world.

[@darkrepulsor1204]

[@ahMAad2]

What a legend✨

[@antawn808]

One of the coolest and most genuine humans I've met. Celeb or not, he deserved his flowers, much respect 🤙

[@GabbyTeAma]

Ahhh I love this! I've swatched Swoozie since the beginning and one of the coolest parts of my childhood was growing up with these animations. When all my cousins were together we would sit around and watch swoozie videos and laugh our butts off. Then I grew up and became a teacher and I would play the cheating series for my students when teaching them about my classroom expectations. We would all laugh but learn so much and create core memories in the process. Swoozie deserves every single one of his flowers. Awesome drawings, awesome storytelling, awesome guy!

[@YouTube]

this story is so wholesome, love that swoozie helped create so many core memories for you 🥹

[@vrsa6857]

thank you for being there for myself, my family, and everyone in the community all these years. 🙏🏽

[@cooldumi]

Swoozie on top fr

[@Minitrain]

A KZbin legend indeed, please don’t stop making vids swooz

[@sor3999]

13:15 All those channels eventually brought me to swoozie so that's correct. I didn't know at the time he popularized this kind of channel. I started with Domics and TheOdd1sOut or so and then KZbin was recommending all these other similar channels and I eventually got to swoozie.

[@nickdidonato6610]

One of the best to ever do it.

[@FreshRichi]

Love this!!! S/O to the living legend, sWooZie!! 🔥🔥🔥 💐💐💐
