Little Dragon Studios: INTO THE WILD

[@littledragonstudios]

Hi everyone, Kaida here! I have some good news, and bad news. Before that, however, I wanted to let everyone know about a few upcoming videos we have planned: April 8th: Into the Wild OST April 15th: Behind the Scenes, Bloopers, and Technical Goofs April 22nd: A surprise! Little Dragon Studios will no longer be producing episodes of Into the Wild. Over the past few months, we have been in discussions with the official Warrior Cats team. Due to updates in their FAQ and fanart guidelines, they have asked that we avoid animating any further storylines that are direct adaptations from the books/series of Warrior Cats which means going forward we will cease production on Into the Wild. They explained that if a video or series of video clips/episodes sets out to tell a significant part of the exact stories from the books then there is a chance they may be removed, as this oversteps into copyright infringement. However, they were generous enough to allow us to share all the hard work that we had done on this episode with you. We hope you enjoyed the episode! (Unfortunately the episode does end on a cliffhanger, so if you want to know what happens next you can read the book!) The good news is that this is not the end of Little Dragon Studios. We will be moving on to new things, creating original stories and animations! A few ideas are in the works, but nothing is far enough along that we can share just yet. Stay tuned over the next few months to find out! I’d like to thank all of you for being so patient with us as we produced Into the Wild. It was an incredible experience to work with such a talented team. Despite not being able to continue, it gave us exactly what we came here to do: learn, grow, and most importantly, have fun doing so. Here’s to a bright future! Little Dragon Studios

[@bloodlos]

I wish for once a company would see projects like this and instead of instantly hitting the lawyer button, would actually go “You know what you guys obviously love the stories and are huge fans. Let’s work on a project together.” There needs to be a difference between passion work and cash in work.

[@nekomataumbreon]

To be fair, if the Erins didn't ask them to stop, KZbin itself would've made them stop as Warriors is a copyrighted series. KZbin doing something would be far worse.

[@billcipher8645]

​@@nekomataumbreon not really, adapting a book is considered transformative content. The same way there are so many commentary channels and they objectively put much less of their own input than a whole animation project. Besides, youtube bot copyright system is ASTROCIOUS when it comes to plagiarism of books and visual content

[@nekomataumbreon]

@@billcipher8645 okay, but this is unofficial. Sure, you can animate certain parts of things, but nowadays, copyright laws are so strict that you can't get away with adapting a book series anymore.

It really sucks that copyright laws are stopping this kind of animation.

[@Pineconedoter]

The past 3 years of production on this has been the best experience of my life. I have met so many amazing and talented people in the studio and I have learned so many cool new talents. The amount of love that went into this cannot be measured, and I hope everyone enjoys this. Kaida has to be one of the best people I've ever met, and creating this studio for us is something I will forever be grateful to her for. I cannot wait to continue working with the studio for as long as our creativity flows, and develop a bigger family within Little Dragon Studios. Love ya'll, we did amazing!

[@justinarney3050]

This is probably the most ambitious Warriors project since SSS Warriors cats (in terms of scale). The animation here is really well done with each cat actually looking alive with their facial and tail expressions. Small details like Whitestorm winking at Rusty ( 19:18 )is well appreciated and shows the amount of care they put into every Cat. The voice acting is overall good throughout with some great performances for Bluestar, Smudge, Rusty, Greypaw and Longtail. The series getting stopped by the Warriors Team getting involved is very disappointing and frustrating due to the long wait the fandom has waited for the actual Warriors movie with no significant updates. I hope WC Animated doesn't face the same fate but I'm not hopeful right now.

[@That_one_weirdasf_dude]

Oh, Shit they stepped in and stopped them from making another one? That sucks so much on so many levels. And I REALLY hope they don't come for WC animations too.

@@warriorcat-girl2867 true but I do hear they are making changes in order to make it different enough so they don't suffer the same fate.... but whether these changes are good enough not to break WC copyright rules or whether they will be even good is yet to seen. I can only assume that developmental time of WCanimated has increased because of what happened to Little Dragon Studios so It could be another year or 2 before we get an episode

The voice performances portrayed the characters perfectly, especially Bluestar, and with a little more polish I could see this coming directly out of a big studio as a quality labor of love. However, its so fcking annoying that the studio, of course, decided to rain on everyone's parade. Really, Erin Hunter? Relax. You are not Disney, and fan content is what's keeping people even INTERESTED in this series in 2023. If SEGA and FNAF can stomach fan content being made out of love then so can you, ERIN.

Firepaw fight! As a Warriors fan from childhood, I cannot emphasize enough how much this means to me… 🥹) I want to extend my special thanks to all the wonderful writers, concept artists, storyboarders, animators, 3D character creators, character designers, composers, texture artists, graphic designers, render farmers, asset creators, translators, and of course, voice actors who lent their skills to the creation of Episode 1. You guys are AMAZING! Finally, Kaida, thank you so much for founding this project. Without you, none of this would exist.

It's such a unique and awesome form of art and it 100% deserves the attention! Thank you to everyone who worked on this project to bring it out to us Warrior’s fans. From the voice actors’ stunning performances, the gorgeous work of the 3D artists and animators, the producers and editors, and everyone else who put effort into this project, you should be proud of this accomplishment and you deserve all of the recognition and appreciation for your time and effort.

[@NBwaffleees]

The into is so cool, I’m in love!!!! 😍😍

[@NightFlames]

Amazing video :) The fact that this is unpaid is crazy! It’s unfortunate that ya’ll couldn’t continue. This video contains the same vibes as the “SSS Warrior Cats” channel. The animation is really accurate to the book and it shines at bringing back memories. I also appreciate that the video has a translation in Norwegian 🇳🇴, though I didn’t realize it before the end where it was written in the closing credits. I might rewatch this video in the future just to see the translation. Usually videos don’t have a Norwegian translation as its not the most well known country on the earth, so it’s really awesome to see that someone sets aside some of their time to translate it. In this case it’s “dani_33” who has done it. Amazing! I usually write subtitles for my own videos, so I know how much time it can take, but translating it to another language is on a whole other level! I also want to mention the great voice acting. I can hear that the voice actors have really put in a lot of effort while working on this project. Nothing seems unnatural. In addition to the voice acting, the choice of music and sound effects brings this video up on another level! Finding fitting music is pretty difficult, so I am really impressed :) To be honest, when I first heard about this project I had pretty low expectations. I didn’t even think it would get finished! So when ya’ll released this video I was absolutely shocked! I think this video have obtained a status on the same level as the legendary “SSS Warrior Cats” channel. This video will be remembered in the Warriors fandom. Usually, I don’t write in this “paragraphic” style, but I think this video have deserved it. This video have clearly been made by talented and hardworking people, so I’ll end this comment by saying: Amazing work everybody!
