Leaves From the Vine | rottmnt movie animatic

[@folkuey_artster]

You CANNOT tell me that Casey isn't Leo's son. That man definitely saw Casey and went "that's my kid" but that mindset makes me tear up because that means that he LOST HIS AWESOME DAD AND I CANT

[@JustACandyy]

man, whats with children in tmnt losing their only parental figure

[@ESXPER]

@@JustACandyy flashbacks to 2012 splinter

[@silverssketchbook5245]

.... Leo is deffintally not Casey's biological farther since you know hybirds and stuff .... probably like step farther or something

[@JustACandyy]

@@silverssketchbook5245 i think thats what they were saying, like Leo adopted Casy as his son cause we assume cassandra died

[@silverssketchbook5245]

@@JustACandyy yeah

[@Lemon-Drop4529]

I literally started crying over this, Raph and Donnies deaths really pulled on my heart strings!! :,]

[@IamAroaceSoBackOff]

same at the end, where casey is crying 😭

[@Blue-mj5gm]

Definitely one of the best ROTTMNT movie animatics. Raph and Donnie's deaths echoing the way they almost died in the new timeline, Casey all alone at the end... Poor boys.

[@leonardolidersinmiedo4904]

Ok. I usually smile when I see well done animatics, no matter if it’s very sad, but with this one, my heart started hurting at the end, when all the fam was together but Casey started crying.

[@salmascreativitypen4489]

This is one of the sweetest animatics of the Rise Movie and no one can tell me otherwise. Also, I think Casey should’ve been in the group hug even though he’s not family to them yet. It was fitting when the lyrics said “Like shells in the foam” since they’re turtles. I even like how you drew Casey as a cute little kid.

[@RoseCadenza]

This is so beautiful! It makes me want to tear up. This seriously needs more views.

[@Snugglecat453]

Thank you!!

[@alexandino06]

God that’s the most beautiful saddest video I’ve ever watch Siri bad for Casey and donnie 💔🥺🥺🥺💜🧡

[@Krow_Kid]

I'M NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYING ... *sobs*

[@v.9524]

Oh my gosh, I absolutely adore the idea of Leo having pretty much raised Casey. That makes their argument in the movie a lot more heartbreaking, but also a lot more meaningful.

[@Ashley-yf4nf]

As soon as I saw the title of this video I knew I would be emotionally devastated and I was so right. Splinter singing this song, Raph’s and Donnie’s deaths, Casey coming to terms with his loss, everything. This is also so emotionally powerful, really great work.

[@doctorwho3708]

Casey, in his mind, he manage to bring to the Little Soldier boy home along with his brothers. But at the cost of losing all he knew and his parents.

[@abigailrottenford6705]

This is too beautiful and sad, I can't, you manage to convey that feeling of nostalgia and accompanied by your drawings they simply complement each other perfectly. I definitely broke at the end. I congratulate you, it's just beautiful 💖🐢

[@susivioletta7600]

Couldn’t have said it better❤

[@justforfun.7918]

My heart slowly kept sinking more and more. And then the ending. My heart is drowned 💔

[@meganbennett7611]

The first note of leaves from the vine and I'm already sobbing

[@katsu_devil508]

I am desperately trying not to cry right now ITS NOT WORKING!!! THE SONG IS TOO POWERFUL 😭 NO IT'S NOT JUST THE SONG, ITS THIS WHOLE VIDEO ITSELF

[@banjkazfan]

Oh wow, this punched me hard. It's really, REALLY well done! Oddly enough, watching the guys die in Casey's timeline - it hurt like hell, yeah, but I didn't cry. What got me bawling was that last shot of Casey crying alone with Master Leonardo's spirit putting an arm around him. Super well done - thanks for sharing this with the fandom :)

[@spectatormoon9800]

Thanks to this animatic, I now headcanon that Casey has sung this song to the turtles. They were confused, as only splinter has sung that to them. Later, when Casey woke up from a nightmare (where he saw everyone die), he was crying loudly and hyperventilating, and the turtles heard him. They came over and sung the song to him. ... This is now canon for me thank you for animating this- I love this so much this is so cute

[@CreativelyCAN101]

OMG IM TEARING UP MY HEART STRINGS AAAAAAH This is such a beautiful animatic of Leo being a father figure to Casey and us seeing what Leo had to go through with losing his brothers 😭 Keep up the great work!!💜💜

[@TricksOfLoki]

I knew this was gonna make me cry I KNEW THIS WAS GONNA MAKE ME CRY

[@BreadPunLover]

I LOVE the father and son relationship Casey & Leo has .✨✨ When Leo told Casey to close the portal I literally started to cry 😢 WHY does video have to be so sad but so good at the same time 😢

[@shrumi1133]

I heard the song, and I knew it was gonna be sad, but Raph and Donnie’s death made me cry. This is so well done! Keep up the great work!

[@dnpanimationstudio382]

This fits so many ways it hurts💔. Any time this songs used, it’s always bound to make people tear up.

[@dragonlover4648]

I literally teared up at this CASEY MY BOY SOMEONE GET HIM SOME THERAPY

[@livetheender]

Do you realize how hard it is to watch your animatics with wet teary eyes

[@Snugglecat453]

SUPER EASY

[@bendyloverk12]

I’m actually crying right now. This animatic is both beautiful and heart wrenching at the same time and I don’t know how to feel about that.

[@foxytinaredfur1972]

I've seen it three times and three times I was in tears at the end of the video why can't I stop crying when I see this?

[@AngelGarcia-ho6cy]

That must have been really hard for Casey losing his master from the future and be glad the turtles are there to protect him if anything happens to him

[@jupiterjupiter762]

DONT CRY I SAY AND AS SOON AS I SEE “IM PROUD OF YOU KID” I FEEL TEARS PUNCH ME IN THE FACE

[@ignoreeverythingido9616]

I just sat in stunned awe for a solid 3 minutes after I watched this, completely confused as to why I was literally crying. You should be proud! This animatic is honestly one of the best I've ever seen, and I've seen a LOT

[@Snugglecat453]

ILL CRY THANK YOU

[@servingcal]

Omg that was literally me please-

[@violet_playz2045]

No becuz like the second I saw Casey and Future Leo in the first half of the movie i instantly went " Father & son relationship" which made his death even sadder :')

[@weempwomp13]

punching walls and chewing through the floorboards dear god. THATS HIS DAD!!!!!

[@dontsaymyname6831]

Watching this now......W.H.Y I love how Leo is just a father figure like 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 YOU TRYING TO HURT ME!? (first time I cried cuz of a vid 🤣😔😭 here is ur award 🏆🏆👑👑

[@Sun_need_therapy]

First time a ROTTMNT angst make me cry... 🥲👍

[@tictacquestionmark]

Never has an animatic made me sob before oh my gosh 😭 the art style is a beautiful too

[@masong695]

Cries because Mako (Iroh's original voice actor) played Splinter in the 2007 movie

[@doczirebeka8312]

WAIT, SERIOUSLY?!?! I can't believe this!!! 😭

How dare you take two of my favorite things and make me cry this much

[@lolsonic1237]

why you got to do this to me * cries unhuman amount of tears *

[@dogsrulz19]

I feel like crying every time I watch this. I feel so bad for Leo

[@roabythecow]

I RECOGNIZED THE TUNE WITHIN THE FIRST THREE SECONDS AND WAS READY TO PUNCH YOU THROUGH THE SCREEN. (Affetionate) This HURT me. The visuals are heartbreaking. I also love the fact that you chose a less-known cover of the song. Well done. 💛

[@hapfish]

you got me BAWLINGGGG he was his DDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADDD this was so bittersweet, your art is amazing and the framing was fantastic. beautiful animatic

[@number1peepersfan]

This made me tear up, yall need to stop doing this to me istg

For a minute I thought this was going to be a do it for the vine type of vid- now I'm crying

[@Cheshire-Choas]

[@FunneyLizzie]

2:19 I GENUINELY. TEARED UP. I GENUINELY ALMOST STARTED SOBBING FROM THAT FINAL FRAME WOW. INCREDIBLE WORK WOWIE WOW WOW WOW

[@rolleyarts8919]

Oh sure let me just sob my eyes out from this masterpiece of an animatic. Im sorry if that sounded like sarcasm it wasn't I am crying

[@Avatarlover181]

I knew from the song's title that this was going to be sad. I was correct and I still cried.

[@Heloravv]

You're good at bending emotions my friend, #literally sobbing-

[@bug475]

I thought I was ready, I wasn’t dear god it’s so early in the morning and I’m sobbing like a baby. Good job-

[@PrincessKKFish]

what I’m not crying… your crying!!

[@doczirebeka8312]

When I remembered this song while I was watching Casey, that's when I was shocked by realizing how true this song is for him. He IS a little soldier boy who can't go back home and lost all his family. This scruffy, apocalypse survival hardened, yet undereducated kid might never have been able to even imagine a healthy and whole world his whole life, when that is what he always fought for, and now when his war is won, he lost his whole past, future and family in exchange for the world what he wanted to experience and learn with his family. Who all died! 😭 Yes, I KNEW IT when I thought about this that I will find an animatic like this. 🥲 So, I finished watching this. The deaths were brutal but the ending BROKE ME!!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭 Somebody, hug this kid, include him in the family hug, damnit!!!!! MAKE HIM FEEL HE'S HOME!!!!

[@wowitscoldout1119]

"oh this is going to totally destroy me" _2 minutes 30 seconds later_ "Oh yeah. Oh yeah that did it"

[@naintham5849]

Why by only reading the name of this song I tear up? Omg, I don't even have my volume on. Noooo the animation made it more sad,I didn't want to be sad today 😢😢

[@bugwashere2117]

How rood of this to be so beautiful it hurts (i love it even tho it makes me cry)

[@mothtransman]

look. i knew i was going to cry. leaves from the vine just does that to me. but this was phenomenal it hit so much harder than i thought it would, great job

[@notakittie7285]

My tears are burning my eyes. You have caused me pain.

[@ikarre0937]

Idk why I like to do this to myself :,) It's so beautiful but it hurts. A beautiful poison I take willingly to cry. You should be very proud of yourself! I haven't cried like this since the first time I watched Encanto (Dos Orugitas). Thank you so much :,)

[@honeymon131415]

Well this killed me, I already almost cry every time I hear this song, this didn't help. Beautifully done.
