Lackadaisy Animated - Sneak Peek

[@CrownePrince]

I see the animation roughs are intentionally left on in most of the shots. It helps a lot keeping the texturized pencil feel.

[@the_lake_monsters]

good eye! can't wait to see you make a video on this once it's out

[@sirbirbton]

No. Those shots just aren't finished yet lol

[@SandraNLN]

I would hesitate to say "intentional" if i were you. Since many of the frames are perfectly clean, it implies that the finished look is intended to be more polished. This is just a sneak-peek after all.

[@ValastorGrish]

@@SandraNLN They are intentional, they've stated multiple times that that is the look they're going for for this short and they actually add the rough sketch after cleanup, from what I understand these are fully finished shots lmao

[@Residenthoodedcrow]

Reminds me of Wolfwalkers!!!

[@ericfelds6291]

This is visually stunning, I haven’t seen any other independently made animations on KZbin or anywhere else that are just so immediately pleasing to the eye. You guys particularly Tracy, have really managed to capture and communicate each of the character’s personality in their appearance in a manner that doesn’t feel one dimensional or cliched(which is high praise considering this is a period piece). I can hardly handle the anticipation.

[@Hekateras]

It's adult animation but I heavily recommend Helluva Boss right here on KZbin.

[@blackblue7372]

[@VinnyMartello]

I was thinking the same thing. This work is on par with Helluva Boss when it comes to overall quality.

[@Rai2M]

Hazbin Hotel

[@becktel50]

I would absolutely pay to buy this as a movie if it is released even digitally. The project has been absolutely great to see it come along, and I believe it will be awesome once it is released.

[@masterofthecontinuum]

Yeah for real. I would pay to have a Blu Ray of this in a heartbeat.

[@animatedrose]

OMG I remember reading these comics back in my deviantART days! What a nostalgia trip. Now I have to go back and read those. This looks incredible and I'm super excited for this!

[@AlottaBoulchit]

Haha nice to see I'm not the only one that was like "O shit i read this on DA!!" Man what a blast from the past!

[@slipspacesurvivalist9416]

I'm in the same boat as you. lol Back before they had their own website and all.

[@RagamuffinBabyDoll]

Takes me back!

[@Rewind-Watch]

To finally see these characters walk and talk is something that i really need in my life right now. Lackadaisy is one of the best comics i read in a while.

[@PenMarkArt]

Mannnnnn! It is so much fun seeing this progress!! I’m now getting a better sense of the style of movement, and it’s making my imagination go wild. I’ve loved these characters for years and now seeing more footage is such a treat. Thank you all for your hard work!

[@mysticat]

can't wait!!!

[@rickxhoshinji]

I feel like I’m watching a decades old animated masterpiece lost in a studio vault.

[@mechanicalwolfstudios7594]

OHMFG THIS ACTUALLU LOOKS SO GOOD!! If Lackadaisy doesn't get picked up as an official TV show, I'm gonna scream-! Edit: Ok guys, I only suggested this because the creators have said that they would like if it happened. But Lackadaisy is perfect the way it is! :)

[@Smerpyderp]

This must happen. This has to get picked up.

[@veeya9188]

@@Smerpyderp I hope when it does get picked up, the animations don’t water down or at least Tracy’s intentions of the tone. Even when it doesn’t I’m already content with the comics. The writing itself is just a magnum opus.

[@mechanicalwolfstudios7594]

@@veeya9188 Agreed!!

[@mechanicalwolfstudios7594]

@@Smerpyderp Definitely!

[@katherinepollock3957]

I think it would b just fine on KZbin. Animation on KZbin has nothing 2 lose.

[@PIXIENATORY]

* o * Ooooh I'm watching your art for YEARS now literally. It is surreal to see characters I loved so much in motion. Mesmerizing. Can't wait for this masterpiece to come out.

[@callimara]

I can't believe it, a Lackadaisy short film??? I've been following the webcomic for years and Tracy never fails to inspire and absolutely blow me away with her artwork! I'm absolutely looking forward to this!!!

[@lorenzocini1205]

I can't wait, by the way I'm waiting for the new page of the comic on the site, now I don't know if this should act as a sequel to the comic or they are just stories apart, however I can't wait for both the animations to come out and maybe the new comic in the future

[@anothenymously7054]

The creator said the comics would continue after the animation was made.

[@realnepeta]

I’m so glad Lackadaisy is still going. As someone who grew up near St. Louis, it’s nice to see the history represented

[@BethanyHarbaugh]

This looks like a big-budget animation studio worked on this! This is incredible! I'm looking forward to seeing more of the Lackadaisy animations. However long it takes to get the pilot, I know it'll be worth it to see this done to the creator's liking. ❤ Everyone working on this is so talented!

[@poniecornious]

THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY I adore the style; it makes the characters feel so alive and expressive

[@BOREDcentre]

The style from the comics always reminded me of "Cats don't Dance", and I love the look of this even more! Can't wait to see what happens with this!

[@masterofthecontinuum]

Rocky's face shape reminds me of the Scott Bacula cat.

[@LaggingLeland]

Why is this animation so SMOOTH

[@hina-chan1721]

I love the little ear twitch at the end! It was so cute!

[@thewatchersdidnothingwrong7702]

I love Lackadaisy so much. Thank you so much to the animation/production team and Tracy Butler for making this possible 💖

[@antonioarredondo9680]

visual qiality aside i found Lackadaisy about 2 years ago and absolutely loved it i caaaaaaaant WAAAAAAAAAIT

[@thefirebug4068]

I feel like I am going to love the black cat with glasses at the end.

[@EliasTressa]

ITS SO CLOSE TO BEING FINISHED!!! I CANT WAIT FOR IT TO FINALLY COME OUT!!!

[@Hellraiser-pd7ho]

This looks so good, and the animation is totally incredible. I hope that this can began a tv show very soon. I like how indie animation receives so much attention and help, like the projects on Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss. Incredible how a pilot of 30 minutes can generates so many attention and end in so many projects and creating a strong base of fans. I can't wait for the new HH episode of this summer. I hope that this project can began a good show to watch. All my support to the creator and the animation team

[@leocrashplay]

*how I love watching KZbin animated projects, whether it's done by one person or by a team, One more example that there are people so talented who want to tell their world, their story... they just need that support from the public🌟 awesome teaser!!*

[@thisiswhatilike54]

Found the Charleston Cat loop when I was assembling a swing playlist a few months ago, and now this pops up on my Recommendeds. Suffice it to say, I’m subbed, now.

[@alaytheaherr]

*vibrating with barely contained excitement* tracy, i've been following you for years! (since 2000s deviantart) and i'm so thrilled for you and for this project

[@chu-arts1003]

Damn! Great work guys and I especially love the art/animation style! It's like I'm watching the animation of an old Disney movie made in the early 90s except it has a modern cartoon style! I just love this combination!

[@LemurFrenzy212]

This is going to be so entertaining to watch, really looking forward to it!

[@situpeutparlemoi]

Oh, my god, I haven't seen Lackadaisy for... oh man, I'm old now... It's so great to see this is being animated, and so true to form! I honestly think I wouldn't have as strong a love for jazz, big band and blues without having stumbled onto this when I was younger.

[@phoenixwilson7424]

I loved the comic you had pisted in webtoon, it was the first series there i read. Its been so long and i didnt even know that this animation was being worked on. Im so exited. I hope its still in progress- ive re- read it at least 5 times. ❤

[@kymo6343]

Someone named Terri showed me a sketch you made for her of some of these cats back when she was a teen, its so crazy seeing it getting animated now years later. Can't wait to see it!

[@Sea-o3h]

After all these years, I get to see Viktor animated! I’m so happy to be alive to see this!

I love the ear twitching. Little details like that are a sign that this is gonna be really good.

[@NeonGearbox]

I NEED more films and shows with 2D animation as damn great or at least with art styles like this MY GOD. I miss the western 2D era so much sometimes. 😭

[@bipbopopo]

So beautiful done! Im gonna read all the comics soon!!

[@epik_4894]

Man, this feels like an actually good animated film! Those are hard to come by, and I absolutely LOVE the 1920s and this, this just makes it PERFECT for the era that it’s in, any more realistic, I honestly think I time traveled! And no seriously I honestly think I’ll wait for this to come out, this is a film I’ll watch over and over and over and over and o- you get my point. I think this is a film that it’s worth waiting for. I’m running out of compliments, so I’d probably end it here. Keep up the goo- no. Great work.

Still excited that Sung Won will be voicing Mordecai. He manages to embody a deep sense of professionalism and overactive need for perfection.

[@EBThisThat]

The lighting is so realistic and really heightens the unease and suspense. One can really see the influence of noir here and the throwback to the 20s is a grand choice, too.
