Telemachus in the book was a a small social anxiety bean 😭

[@CreatureCreations-]

As much as I love Telemachus's personality in EPIC, it would have been so funny to have him as an awkward, confused little prince.

[@staeriix]

didn’t he have a breakdown every 2 books 😭😭😭 “with this Telemachus dashed his staff to the ground and burst into tears” “moodily” he’s quite the teenager lol…

[@CreatureCreations-]

[@neuronedelmondo5873]

This reminds me of the old Disney style mixed with the Hanna and Barbera's cartoons style, and I love it. You should definitely do more of these animatics, they are super cool!

[@userunknown8830]

Reminds me of the Disney Hercules movie art style ✨

[@nerdadendem]

That is the perfect description of this style

[@alexandrebrandao8056]

Looks so nice, Telemachus really sounds like a kid using the legends and stories as escapism for the danger he has to deal with daily with no real recognition

[@MatsonKey]

Such Athena kid energy

[@paytonist]

I love how the song has a similar tune to “full speed ahead” which gives Telamachus and Oddyseus a perfect parallel

[@varunadeiwos860]

After being an Odissey fan since childhood (and still being pissed of that Argo wasn't immortal) I just realised thanks to this video, that Argo's role wasn't just to *wait* for his master. He was working, protecting and kinda trying to fill in the void within his family. He wasn't just Odisseus' dog, he was his family dog too. And he worked himself so hard, and was so good. And brb I'm going to hug my dog and cry. Thank you for putting him in this video, and to animate this song that finally gives some nice space and voice to Telemachus that is ofter a silent voice in this story, even more than Penelope. This animation is real good.

[@connorworsham6378]

Thanks for making me bawl my eyes out, much appreciated

[@terrencebrill5489]

Who is Argo?

[@KelpieRider]

​@@terrencebrill5489Argo is the dog, he dies in the legend when Odysseus returns home

[@backbak100]

I wish that was the case but in the Odyssey isn’t it said he was like, dirty and uncared for or smth? Cuz that always made me cry bc no one cared for him

[@daring6983]

​@backbak100 I've heard there are like 20 different versions. Odds are your both right.

[@MrSmile078]

if you know what happend to Odysseus dog on the original story it makes his appearance very sad, good boy Argus

[@Mathew-cj7yd]

Yeah, he was the first "recorded" dog to wait for his master who doesn't come back, though it remains heartwarming that he at least got closure by seeing Odysseus one last time, unlike some of the others that unfortunnately did not get this chance. Rest in peace to all of our lost loyal comrades, and let's hope they at least got the chance to meet their friends once more after.

[@sIren61]

Just watched Jorge’s new vid about his favorite easter eggs, now Odyssesus’ dog with Telemachus hits different 😿 BUT OTHER THAN THAT, I REALLY LOVE THIS!!! 🎉🔥🌻🫶

[@cloverglassfield8258]

I love this so much, it paint telemachus as such a charming person. He's naive and somewhat blind to the dangers but he wants to make his dad proud and keep his mom safe. Great job!

[@zatzu]

Telemachus is a disney princess!

[@Pheebasaur182]

I think it's a requirement at this point to include Argos the dog in any animatic of Legendary lol

[@iliketea1427]

Fantastic animatic! Also 1:39 is that suppsed to be Argos?! (For those who never read the Odyssey, Argos is Odysseus's loyal dog who waits 20 years for him to return. Argos is also the first to recognise Ody through his disguise and the reunion is so heartwarming 😊🥰. And then the dog dies. Literally right after that scene. Hope you had a good day)

[@No-ci7he]

I recognized Argos immediately, got super excited at the attention to detail, remembered what happens to Argos, and then got really sad-

[@FunFilmFare]

Love this!!! Very Disney's "Hercules" vibes

[@S.u.p123]

The fact that the piano from Athena’s theme plays when he says “give me a sign”, as well as the poster makes this 100 times better

[@collectorofmyst2107]

I love this so much. The dynamic change between 'scenes' and areas, it was a little search of Telemachus' own, 'looking' for the answers he needs. Also the bounciness and just general energy to him, definitely feels like you captured Jorge's desire to have him be that refreshing point of hope in the story.

[@nureinbaum2125]

The slide down the column is both hilarious and a very clever scene change!

[@estherhill8928]

Is that Athena at the end there?? The way I *gasped* when I saw the owl! These details are amazing and the stylization is so endearing! By far my new favorite EPIC animatic!

[@juliusroman8616]

[@CorbinIsGod]

[@pokechannelgx5819]

This is some incredible work. Like, holy cow. The character designs, the backgrounds, the emotion captured in the frames, it’s all so impressive and professional. Lots of love was poured into it, I can see. Great stuff!

[@cloudphoenix241]

This is so good! The style is amazing, the backdrop of Telemachus's room is really cool & feels like something he'd have with posters & figurines. The use of light and dark is able to make things stand out (Telemachus) or blend together (the suitors), it's also just worth mentioning that not everyone does that kind of thing when making animatics. the movement and dynamic poses are really cool and really well done & I love the part where he's using his hands to represent the different creatures. Sorry, I sound like a teacher or something but I just felt like saying "It's underrated and I love it" would be an understatement.

[@zoharamitai8719]

The Disney type style is just Perfect! I just binged all your stuff theyre so amazingly done! AWW ARGOS IS HERE

[@lilymcculloch9581]

This is so good!!! I love the angles you choose, I can feel Telemachus's smallness compared with everyone he's dealing with.

[@Tamattuta]

Yes! Almost all the scenes with the suitors, Telemachus is smaller compared to them on the screen, because he is not able to fight them back yet. I'm so happy that this was noticed🥰

[@shiensmh]

AAAAA YOUR ARTSTYLE IS SO SO BELOVED!!! great job on the animatic, that shot with "come and give me a sign" gave me chills

[@kristenthacker5762]

I love your design for Telemachas. Like, He's so cute! Also I know its a laurel wreath, but I love how in some of the scenes it looks like hes got a tiny stream of hearts on his head. Like, It fits him so well that i didnt even question it :)

Seeing this made the song really come to life for me!!! 💕
