I named my horse in Stardew Valley after Orb in the hopes that it would be a fraction as spherical and sexual as Orb.

[@GrizzlyMittz]

Lol Gotta get those good horse stats.

[@apollyon004]

I wish there was an easter egg if you named your horse orb it would turn into Orb

[@slasherchild5871]

Oh dude I love Stardew Valley

[@bepis602]

I NAMED MY HORSE ORB TOO CJSHJSHDH

[@bepis602]

But orb spelled like örß

[@grantdotjpg]

I'm glad we haven't forgotten consent in 5024.

[@cabbageoverlord4540]

You cannot reach the level of ascension achieved by geometric party goers without total consent, clearly

[@TarotVylan]

You can't spell ascension without consent

[@misskirika2043]

OH MY GOD THE ANIMATION OF THE RACE. NOW THIS, THIS IS ART

[@GrizzlyMittz]

Thank you. It was probably the part I was most looking forward to drawing and it wasn't even in the original audio. lol

[@misskirika2043]

@@GrizzlyMittz it seriously made my day. Well done, 10/10, would orb again

no

@@beeferoni786 silence, beef creature. Let me enjoy my silly little horse videos.

[@ericchan5396]

For some reason 0:25 when the horse transcended from 2D to 3D makes me laugh the most. It was out of nowhere and I absolutely love it!

[@GrizzlyMittz]

That was actually a product of my sketching process that I just left intact. I originally wanted to return to it later and make the transition between 2D to 3D more seamless just as a way to do a 3D turnaround without completely hand animating it, but I thought the simple jump from one to the other was too funny to change.

I expected it to have that classic cartoon pop sound whenever something changes shape instantaneously

[@kalebkirkevold5589]

ORB is a very s e x u a l being (and this animation is 20/10)

[@abj6920]

Did you ABSOLUTELY need to make Steven's left shoe an absolute fashion beast fit for worship? No, you did not. God will remeber this.

[@snarfymcsnarfface2323]

You DARE mention Steven in the presence of ORB?!

[@TarotVylan]

"Earth Horse Women" would make a great name for an Indie band

[@rosePetrichor]

Why do the brothers end up talking about horses just so dang often and it's always something Vaguely Unsettling To Consider like a goddamn 20ft orbular horse

[@SkiddlyBink]

the amount of times they've dunked on a horse that now Fucks Internationally For (sometimes) Hundreds Of Thousands Of Dollars is absolutely hysterical

[@PersonalPariah]

Torseyyy the torso horse...

[@FGCLovesYou]

Horse industry sponsorships?

[@gabrielleengel7476]

That last scene? In the bed? I'm crying. This is so good, I love it.

[@GrizzlyMittz]

Was hoping whether peeps would be alright with the image of a post coitus horse smoking in bed with a 20 foot in diameter, sexual, geometric object. Glad to hear it paid off.

[@nini9946]

the one single dislike is from the girl who didnt get a night with orb

[@skimfu]

The whole thing is amazing, but the moment at 0:40 when the camera pulls back from the gorgeous Steven's Left Shoe to ORB just killed me 😂

[@cosmic_poet7326]

I work in a stable and one of the mares is pregnant. I will for sure enter “Orb” into the “potential-name-pot”

[@zenplease]

The scene transition with the flag was so good!!

[@GrizzlyMittz]

Thank you, I was rather impressed with how it came out in the end as well! lol

[@emilise284]

"ask your proctologist" KILLED me

[@SomeoneNews]

Can we just appreciate how the how orb in horse form looks like he saw literal hell

[@moongod5013]

I can't stop hearing Justin melt into his Beacon voice when he says Orb loves to party

[@GrizzlyMittz]

"Orb is a fine horse, Duck Newton~"

[@amandabacon128]

Oh this is smooth? This is clean?? This is a masterpiece?? The motion, the designs!! Wowowow

[@GrixieKong]

Gender Reveal Party “Capital S that everyone drew in school” is an excellent creation 👌🏻

[@onescenewonder8904]

Thats a lotta well drawn horses!!

[@vynniev9611]

ok but absolute kudos to you for nailing that 3d art humor, oh my god. Also I know you traced that model instead of drawing them Raw and I think that's your last obstacle before becoming the art god

[@GrizzlyMittz]

Ya caught me. 0:14-0:26 and 0:41-0:46 I traced, but every other horse was freehand. Now if they were all moving on the other hand...

[@ezekielmartin4323]

I love how you made it into a coherent storyline! I especially love how you did the animation and sound effects on the race, especially the checkered flag effect. Really neat stuff! Subbed and shared!

[@JohnDoe-tl4gm]

I hope to GOD this blows up cuz it deserves it TENFOLD

[@dopple22cec58]

ORB (Really good animation Btw, I admire your work)

[@GrizzlyMittz]

Thank you very much! ^___^

[@fluckadrift]

I love your models for the brothers - how recognizable and detailed they are (Travis' painted nails!) and how appealing their faces are when they laugh.

[@deadlinedesign]

ANYBODY ELSE SEE GARYL THE MAJESTIC BINOCORN AT 1:39 ??

[@imaginate-art]

This is amazing!!! One of the best McElroy animations I've ever seen. 10/10 Orbs. Great Job!

[@GrizzlyMittz]

Thank you! ^___^

[@OmgItsKavi]

oh my god this is INCREDIBLE! every frame of this is pure comedy genius! i absolutely lost it when the boys were walking away and orb appeared in front and interrupted them hahaha

[@cottonbook9229]

ORB

[@TomWalsh1]

Orb in motion is incredible. To the top of the mbmbam animatic leaderboard! A triple crown contender!

[@avosmash2121]

Huh. 5024 sounds actually pretty good, glad to know the future is looking up.

[@mattitionjames]

this is truly unparalleled omg i lost it at the stussy

[@Trebolt]

Holy shit I actually died when the cool S showed up, 11/10 animation

[@m3grim]

Jesus What Does The H Stand For Christ, I love this so much

[@averygriffin9552]

The H stands for Horse... at least it does now

[@Ttoby89]

I am THRILLED to see this apparently AGAIN? Big old like for me was already there.... maybe I was in a post-ORB haze last time. Anyway, stellar job. I've never done anything as glorious as this video in all my life

[@87crowhat54]

2:27 I know it’s a orb and a horse but the following image of them in bed smoking cigarettes while they clown around looks retro in a weird way

[@burnt_0range319]

It really does though... I didn’t see it before but that’s pretty cool actually

[@liamerolduffy7738]

I like the idea of eldritch abominations and cosmic deities just being weird and not understanding the laws of reality but still wanting to live peacefully on Earth and not being mindless beasts that want to destroy everything.

[@kinkanalchemist]

Do you think Orb took one of those "Which Animal Are YOU????" online personality quizzes and just took the result WAY too seriously

[@orb6144]

Truly, this horse is an inspiration.

[@psychotripnerdstuff]

This was so well done. You elevated an already funny bit through animation and editing. Great job!

[@brianbucceri6412]

that race was breathtaking. thank you

[@lykoslove1053]

You have elevated this bit so much that god himself must look up to view its wonder

[@ghostgarrison6505]

The fact you went all out with backgrounds..... mad skill, mad dedication. Amazing

[@leahcarson1822]

You had an excuse to not draw a horse and you did it anyway,respect

[@absolutemattlad2701]

This is it. This is the best mbmbam animatic.

[@michaelsgotguts]

This is amazing.

That second of a picture where you can see the future shapes party with all the hats is so grand...

Ive literally never listened to mbmbam. This is the only thing ive ever heard from it. Its wonderful.

I'm gonna be thinking about post-coitus Orb Horse and Girl Horse for a while, thank you so much.

[@GrizzlyMittz]

I've been so used to the regular McElroy-established Orb lore throughout the comments that I forgot Orb was an actual horse somewhere out there in the world. Good horse info!

[@themittenfireshow3597]

@@GrizzlyMittz i looked him up because i wanted to see if he was real and i got all that info! Thought it was really cool

[@GonwaLibbyVid]

You captured this segment perfectly

[@holymackerelthethird2478]

An animatic is more like a storyboard, this is a full fledged animation. Give yourself credit! It's also good for your own safety as an animator. Some customers will pay for an animatic and expect animation in return which obviously will take more time and should cost more. The worst knowingly take advantage of the confusion between these terms.

[@GrizzlyMittz]

I really appreciate that compliment! It's nice to hear someone acknowledge my more animated endeavors. "Orb" and "It's Time For Stamps" were certainly exercises for me to flex my animation muscles more. I think I went with "animatic" for Orb more because there isn't a lipsync and the walking is a simple 1-drawing motion tween. Looking back on Stamps though, I might consider re-labelling it as full animation. Yeah, I hear a lot of artists get screwed over out of time and money that way. It's good to set up boundaries.

[@sophovot5079]

the orb with the blanket on top is killing me

[@SenatorAwesomesauce]

My only qualm is that racing horses would not be allowed to smoke.

[@hugmuun]

Big ups for orb making sure his horse woman lover is compatible with him

[@Sage_the_Turt]

ok so this is INCREDIBLE

[@nicholasHJudd]

lololol more of these please!! LOVE MBMBAM and your style!

[@pidgeonpatrol861]

BECAUSE I FEEL IT IS NECESSARY. ORB HAD A CHILD. HIS NAME IS O Besos. HE COMPLETED IN THE 2021 DERBY. HE MADE LOVE WITH EARTH HORSE WOMEN.

I’m glad that Orb respecks consent of the wamen earth horses

watching this was like a spiritual experience

[@shorkies13]

You know, I don’t mind Orb one bit. They’re chill, they’re generous, they’re upfront with what they want and aren’t overly aggressive with their demands, and they value consent in sexual activities. That’s the mark of a good horse right there, I’d love to be Orb’s friend.
