[@turnipboys]

This side-by-side really shows just how much better some fun & quality animation makes everything seem. Even the voice acting seems better despite being the same!!

[@Prince_Smugarina]

Its quite simple, Animation and the Voice acting go hand in hand. IF they just look like emotionless puppets, you won't get the full effect. Sesame Street, are masters of this art, for with simple motions you at the very least get an idea of their current emotion, but that isn't present, it just looks like wooden mannequins with voiceboxes in the original. Expressions give you a visual key to a person's emotions.

Upon watching this it has become apparent to me that Joshua really had chemistry with that one tiger background character. They fought side by side in battle, the tiger was the only one to defend him when everyone else was against him, there was truly some great potential for them. Joshua x Caleb ftw

[@DJFalcoOfficial]

@Just wow why you linking random videos?

[@gauthierchabanne]

No, no it didn’t. The script and voice acting is still terrible, and no amount of animation will change that

[@kaiserquasar3178]

It's a good animation but it's not a standalone movie. The sounds and voice acting is still terrible, it's way too short to even be considered a movie etc. Ultimately this is just kinda poking fun at JatPL and it's funny as hell which is really what it wants to be and there's nothing wrong with that.

[@pennysanchez7656]

[@Jackal_El_Lobo34]

[@anglepsycho]

The model clipping animated parts in that scene was phenomenal. And honestly kudos to everyone for being able to animate a kid as... well... a kid.

[@benjaminchristiansen9852]

I think the reanimated scenes really highlight the voice acting in this... The voice acting (other than the infamous "No... Nooo" part) actually is pretty good overall, Its just the unnatural/ stilted dialogue and script that makes it's so awkward. Also it's like they were all directed to not raise their voices too much like they were recorded in a library or something

[@AsmodeusDHare]

personally I think it's interesting that they added the gold water scene instead of being honest and having Aaron massacre the idol worshippers.

[@pickles3128]

I think they were trying not to make the microphone peak too much? It says in the credits he actually used a professional recording studio.

12:24 is my favorite part of the reanimation. Looks like something straight out of Prince or Egypt except with animals, which is what (I’m pretty sure) the original was trying to convey.

[@makennastone6704]

I know it’s my favorite part too. I could watch a whole movie or tv show with that animation

[@Cecilia-ky3uw]

I also liked the evil interpretation of chris

omg 3:03 was so cool !! the fact that they did stop-motion - the dedication 😱

[@chrisk5985]

This reanimated kinda made me realize that the voice acting and the story, for the most part, aren't that bad in the original. It's just really lacking in art direction and animation (and of course some voice acting and story beats as well). Amazing job to all the animators in this project! I especially enjoyed the really cinematic animations; they really did the impossible by making this movie look cool.

[@MalikaiDragonSlayer]

I think the angel is a genuinely okay voice actor, even when I watched Saber's review of the original. He doesn't seem like he'd be out of place as a voice in a kids tv show.

Ok, I am a minute and 44 seconds in, and I'm already impressed by how much folks tried to stay faithful to the idea and give the original it's credit. There are some crazy ones in there, and plenty of ones that kept the theme and changed the scene style, lots of good stuff, but when I see a shot for shot remake, with better art, I think I see something like what the original was meant to be.
