Overwatch Animated Short | "Rise and Shine"

[@RaptorsVevo]

This is the second time they've made an unfeeling killing machine seem human. Well done blizzard

[@tanerolmeerko]

Which was the first one? Junkrat?

[@Postmanton]

Bastion.

[@sugardunkarton7803]

Bastion

[@pote2frouifruite81]

Raptors i see what you did here

[@GabrielAidley]

They also killed snowball, in a way, and he's part of the demon at least

[@GhostRabbiit]

Rise and shine, Mr. Freeman...

[@fervantfox0351]

GhostRabbiit welp I'm glad someone else did that joke before me

[@paavo665]

Half-Life 3 confirmed?

[@kappapl5410]

Rise and shine...

[@impmadness]

I thought that when i saw the title lol

[@blackraptor1154]

You've been in hibernation for...Nine years Snowball, I'm already a demon.

[@bluebowser3121]

She cried when Snowball ran out of battery, despite the fact she could recharge him. She barely seemed bothered when the people she was with died.

[@TheNukebooster]

Why would you make me cry over a Robot running out of battery?

[@pote2frouifruite81]

TheNukebooster because you're weak

[@marvel672]

Because your friends are dead, the building your at barely has any power, the only thing left to keep you company just shut down and you don't know how you're going to get out or even live.

[@cocob0l0]

your waifu is shit!! Erm... ok

[@pote2frouifruite81]

git good newbies

[@corneliawaterheart9933]

Because snowball sacrifised themself

[@AlkisGD]

Damned Blizzard-employed invisible ninjas cutting onions under my face every time I try to watch an Overwatch short!

[@LambentRayne]

Oh my god I love these animated shorts so much ! Please make a full feature length animated film

[@Scylaxius]

Tears are in my eyes. Not because of the amazing story, but of how absolutely pure, adorable, sweet, and precious Mei as a character is.

[@Impulseka]

She made her weapon out of a hairdryer a bottle of whipped cream, some metal gadgets and some water

[@jamesworkshop9181]

MeiGyver

[@kempo_95]

Better than junkrats grenade launcher

[@AlkisGD]

It's like they did that just to spite Austin from Shoddycast! x'D

[@tomkasjanowicz1654]

That 'water' was probably cryogenic liquid that was used in the crio pods...

[@illustrious3960]

I can't feel bad for Mei after how many times she freezes people, looks at them directly and puts an icicle through their heads.

[@pote2frouifruite81]

Illustrious Well it's Her way To kill, the others aren't really different i mean what about junkrat when you step in his trap and then a mine explode next To you To finish you without letting you say "shit" Ana who sleeps you and everyone kills you When you're walking and then a sniper headshot you Or a rein who charge into you while you were busy doing something else and then you're stuck going with reihnardt in a journey together right on the wall Doomfist with his punch Where he push you on a wall to finish you And more

[@hirokokueh3541]

just like the way she saw her teammates die in their pod.

[@quitmarck]

+your waifu is shit!! only through conflict do we evolve, you baby

[@anotherfreeroller]

You're really missing the point...

[@hirokokueh3541]

the overwatch didn't wake them up, you "heroes" killed the scientists. so she kill the heroes like the way that her teammates killed.

[@NorekXtreme]

This Short is simply.. A-MEI-ZING!!!

[@OkamiVines]

She was nice at having made a drink for everyone ... shame no one is going to drink that hot chocolate ;-;

[@pote2frouifruite81]

Okami Vines 島田 she drink all for herself

[@normallyabnormal4201]

shes sharing it with her wife in saba as i type this

[@texanpearson1473]

Portal 2 vibes anyone?

[@bakemonowolf4419]

Okami Vines 島田 In Asian culture (I am also Asian), people use Joss Sticks, incense candle to honor the dead. But because Mei does not have any, I probably think she honored them with coffee. Like lighting up the sticks/incense, smoke. And with coffee, it's different.

[@OkamiVines]

yeah i know

[@pallios]

The production quality of these shorts is off the charts!

[@creativename3411]

"Blizzard" Entertainment. Nice one.

[@thewrustywrench21]

Forget about snowball they humanize the demon of death known as mei

[@izzyladd9]

I'm not crying, you're crying

[@BriBrando]

The Sourest just onions man

[@MrDragos360]

Really ? Are you into fat girl ?

[@geckopecko]

The real Weeb that's... not surprising but also too much info

[@BriBrando]

Dragos XT she's not fat tho? And even if she was why is weight any problem to the way someone loves someone else?

[@Unstablejpeg]

Hi not crying i am crying

[@tomatosoup9073]

U guys say new skin for her hat and everything but that pajama skin WE NEED THAT

[@TheLonleyFly]

New Mei skin maybe?

[@StarDustTF2]

TheLonleyFly the Xtra Thicc

[@matthijs-6045]

hehe.... Mei-by... kms

[@jotawife]

Honestly that should've been Mei's default skin

[@Patrik2166]

Boy please let this be a skin .-.

[@nyx_xon]

Mei be

[@JacobTheLoofah]

I'll still be holding out for a Lucio or Zenyatta short, but god this was incredible

[@ragalyiakos]

This just made Mei a thousand times cuter than she already was, and thats saying something!

[@jolt7408]

Idk why people hate this it has alot of time and effort put into it and it shows how emmotional meis backstory is

[@danielmendoza9602]

Well she had a rough time what’s wrong with that?

[@roymaat8951]

I knew that her gun was a hair dryer!

[@kathrined2138]

I was not ready for all of those emotions

[@DJRonProduction]

They keep making masterpieces! I demand a movies at the cinema!

[@No1UnicornHunter]

Wow, I could have sat through a full 90 min movie of that! That was AWESOME!

[@cloudyopia9867]

The only unrealistic thing in this short is Mei getting the USB in on the first try.

[@Utroliver]

God dammit I always catch the feels with these fantastic animated cinematics :')

[@Tejbegrizzly]

Damn Recall,The Last Bastion and now Rise and Shine all made me teary in the eye a bit :s Good job Blizz!

[@austinkness9396]

Mei looks like velma from Scooby Doo. Anyone else?

[@oldmcdonald7734]

But even more THICC

[@arne5383]

Austin Kness But more thicc thats what i like bout her

[@jamesworkshop9181]

jinkies, what a mei-stery

[@oldmcdonald7734]

I really want to dislike that pun but I don't think I could do any better

[@sortasour2964]

its a nerd girl with glasses and brown hair. whats the difference

[@dreddric]

That's was amazing! I wish Blizzard would do a full feature length movie of the Overwatch story, their characterisation is just awesome.

[@MalcyTheMarionette]

I love mei after this

[@pulse9218]

The timelapse was really creative, awesome touch!

[@tomebener2369]

Please make a Zenyatta animated short He is the best

[@AbyssUK_]

mccree pls

[@Rhae_of_Sun]

And then its like a 10 minute video of him just meditating in silence somewhere in Nepal with litterally nothing happening.

[@Tracenji]

+Valar Rhaegar and in the background you just hear Genji saying "I need healing"

[@Sinhearted]

Tom Ebener isn’t he dead

[@johnhemsley3790]

no that was some other robot

[@ellakelso7120]

Of all the things they could have chosen to animate, this was not what I was expecting. But still, well done!

[@mothersbasement]

so like, they had solar cells all along, then? why does this station rely on battery power again? How did the batteries last 9 years when there was a video game running, paused, on a holographic computer display that whole time? Why does mei just walk out into the tundra after getting the message? couldn't she have, I dunno, called for a dropship? Wasn't that the whole point of rebuilding the satellite tower? Did one of your writers just see passengers, not realize it was terrible, and write this script in a weekend? I don't understand how this was approved.

[@pote2frouifruite81]

Mother's Basement maybe we don't see things that we should see

[@geckopecko]

damn you really went off on them lmao

[@JayEs001]

The resl question is: why didn't winston or anyone else from the old crew rescue her/them?

[@paltrygeist]

i cried shut up smelly

[@FearNLoathing]

you must be fun at partys

[@AB-fh9zh]

Brings a tear to my eye...

[@dim_vt]

i better see the map update soon

[@Blackwolfe79]

I always said you guys need to make make full-length animated movies! I mean I got bored over overwatch but this is awesomecake.

[@Zharkss]

Origin of Satan, Short Animated

[@kiwamihollie]

I'VE WATCHED THIS LIKE 15 TIMES AND I NEVER STOP CRYING OVER IT

[@tobiumevolume9890]

"Overwatch animated short" *Goes 10 minutes*

[@ShadeyDuality]

and thats a problem ... why?

[@sammi_4249]

it's not a problem but i believe most of us wouldn't call that a short

[@Patrik2166]

STOP COMPLAINING AND ENJOY :D

[@ojl5055]

Movies are always over 60 minutes so yes, 10 minutes seems a bit short

[@Awesomethingness]

If Bliz makes these 180+ minutes, they can call them whatever they want. I'll pay to see an Overwatch film.

[@oldrobloxgoodolddays]

after watching this 6 years ago it’s still amazing to watch now

[@symbzz7836]

MAKE SOMETHING FOR ZENYATTA RIGHT THIS INSTANT JEFF

[@randomliner3622]

3:27 - 3:37. Use of shadows cast on her in a time lapse scene to show stages of loss; Shock, Grief, Acceptance. Must have been crying for a long while, poor Mei.

[@SolidTaylor]

Oh, give me a full length movie already, Blizzard. It will be the first movie for years which I shall watch in the cinema. Just let me pay for that already.

[@omalrefaei]

Amazing, good job this is better than I have expected, looking forward for more .

[@jonathantopaz192]

This video is so good haha. For a second it almost made me feel a tiny bit of sympathy for Mei players. And then i remembered that hero is literally the devil

[@PunkBat]

these shorts man makes me cry every fucking time

[@hyperwolf2013]

Gotta hit that 10 minute mark 👌 also make that a new mei skin

[@8rgk]

One of the hibernating pods has the name "MACREADY", cool reference to Kurt Russel's character in The Thing!

[@_mad_cat_]

Mei is Bae

[@dbz90skid51]

Blizzard really knows how to tug at your heart stings. Her story had me in tears.

[@oldmcdonald7734]

So Mei, how come everyone else's tank malfunctioned?

[@geckopecko]

Buttertastic what the fuck

[@enderex040]

Buttertastic tf is wrong with you ?

[@enderex040]

Buttertastic you must be fun to talk to in real life huh...

[@AwokenTugaGaming]

What a wonderful human being this guy is, holy shit. How can you possibly think talking like that in the internet is okay?

[@SeamanGod]

Buttertastic hello children!

[@Fadezz]

From how this is made, they could make a movie about it!!! You might think that it'd cost too much but imagine how much they'd make from it, it would be soooooo good

[@yourbuddy6109]

I hope they make a Mei skin out of this

[@RascalKey]

1. Did not expect Mei to be next. and 2. THAT WAS SO AWESOME

[@HeloisGevit]

Good job Blizzard, another fantastic short!

[@Rose_from_UK]

All these shorts have me crying!

[@manuelmensah9938]

yeah....who said she is "fat"?

[@tanerolmeerko]

She thicc af boiii

[@willyamgoncalves6204]

delicious kind of fat hue hue

[@mars0983897]

its called THICCCCCCCCCCCCC

[@hu-ry]

3:49 SHE T H I C C THO

[@EPICxZiNJAxZoBi3]

The correct term is "thicc"

[@iamscrublucious6433]

This made a huge to my emotions.

[@TheDillondc]

UNEXPECTED

[@jotawife]

now I want a Mercy animated short

[@alexandrosnikolaidis6364]

So thats the story of the devil

[@MrRouge15]

I'm french, it's 2am in France and I still crying by this beautiful work. Thank you Blizzard.

[@Erthun]

it was different in the manga

[@fawnoftheded6528]

This took a really dark turn

[@fawnoftheded6528]

Apart from that its really good

[@paulbond1703]

SNOWBALL NO

[@punprincess3214]

you guys need to make an overwatch movie! your animators are really talented I'm sure you could make an amazing film for this game and maybe fans could give ideas for plot points

[@ethanpage3204]

bastions is still cuter

[@geckopecko]

true, can't argue with that

[@rj28sc]

And why aren't Blizzard making animated movies!? Seriously, these are brilliantly done! Come on Blizz!

[@jordick8427]

Hmph, cancer is still cancer, but at least she's thicc. Still waiting for animated short that shows how Reyes turned into Reaper. =/

[@geckopecko]

oh god, a cinematic about his fight with Jack would be really interesting actually, I never thought about it lol

[@upliftmoe8574]

Can't wait too ! The reaper transformation looks like the biggest thing into Overwatch Lore so aargh soon I hope. Am I the only one to like Mei the way she is ? Even "fat" (She's not fat at all) she is pretty ^^! I love her pyjama :)

[@Unethical.FandubsGames]

"Even "fat" (She's not fat at all)" Don't kid yourself. Fat doesn't always have to mean "Shaped like a car". She's fat but she's not MASSIVE. Fuck sake, stop getting all butthurt over the fucking word, "fat". It's not a bad word in of itself. It's an adjective.

[@LoudMouth_]

I'll be expecting the new Mei "Survivor" skin in the next couple weeks, thanks blizz.

[@prigu7]

3:49 SHE THICC THO

[@BriBrando]

Prigu you have ruined this short for me

[@gededrengen1234]

That's one of the things blizzard has done right. I despise games where all female characters are skinny bikini model types.. Blizzard steps out of the box and represents all shapes, colors and sizes

[@normallyabnormal4201]

with zarya and mei only p much, and they have yet to give us a playable unambiguously black woman

[@hu-ry]

T H I C C

[@nix6940]

Normally Abnormal They also gave us a grandma who shoots medicine into people, that is certainly unique.

[@TheWhibsZone]

Wonderful - would very much love a feature length animated movie

[@bluebowser3121]

Everyone she knew from before is dead. How is she so calm? I guess she must of been desensitized to death from an early age...

[@BadGladeCrazy]

She sat there crying for who knows how many hours what else do you want?

[@Unethical.FandubsGames]

"Must have". Take an English class.

[@nisio7320]

They forgot the part where Snowball poses the 5 corpses into a pentagram to summon Mei in the first place.

[@kenodressel6961]

honestly I cried, a little... these damn onions

[@rainy-mess]

Most of the comment section is about Mei being a devil or witch.. which is so fucking stupid. She's so amazing. Just grow up most of you, will ya? Edit; okay so what I meant was, Mei as a character is amazing and isn't a devil herself, however the way she gets played by in the game is why people say she's a demon. But people are calling her a demon either way, which isn't right.

[@aln447]

Well having a positive opitnion about someone who freezes you, and then, when you can't move looks you in the eyes and shoots you in the head is.... ...is quite damn difficult

[@littleredarmy3176]

Shes the fucking spawn of Satan

[@normallyabnormal4201]

That was Meis clone that replaced her and joined Overwatch masquerading as her Mei is enjoying a lovely time with her wife in Saba

[@GabrielAidley]

Don't blame the character, blame the people that play them. Hanzo is considered a deep character by many and look how people made him.

[@sanokal]

RainyMess On the internet? I think that our hopes are too high for that.

[@Oliver-oi6ui]

Now we know he gun is made from a hair dryer

[@leonielowenfoss5937]

Its so cool

[@Melarancida]

I see what you did there XD

[@et_haaan360]

im so happy you made this

[@88Hyo]

This was... disappointing. I thought she would be fucking devastated. Most of people she knows died, and she had very little hope of surviving herself. She should have at least cried a little longer.

[@mitsukiootsutsuki8249]

Pecko☆ lol... let me correct him: disappointed, fucking, devastated, most, of

[@mrspooks3698]

don't forget it's a demon SHE DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CRY

[@88Hyo]

Pecko☆ yes

[@geckopecko]

88Hyo makes sense -it was funnier before you edited it lol-

[@megamage911]

Ehm, didn't you notice the passage of time going on while she was sitting there? She was litterally sitting there for days.

[@MrQTabEnter]

This was so perfect!

[@erik22309xx]

T H I C C

[@kkairos]

This gave me tears

[@ibbsyissa6561]

wait y is mei mei still alive but the rest arent i cant be the only one thinking this right and y is mei so sad about snowball if she could just charge him up again sitill tho great short

[@BadGladeCrazy]

She's just lucky her pod didn't break

[@drosso4956]

Ibbsy Issa she killed them only explanation

[@MeAnIgor]

Alien: Overwatch Edition! With Mei as a Ripley, shooting Icicles, but no Xenomorphs around :(

[@unactivechannel007]

[@lauri4887]

[@porunga714]

to stupid for a Name what the- HL3 confirmed

[@Unethical.FandubsGames]

Sadly HL3 was confirmed cancelled indefinitely.

[@cyber5153]

THE DEVIL SHORT 0_0

[@arturopichardo9174]

Blizzard is so good at tugging on my heart strings. Its like watching a korean soap opera

[@BadgerXCX]

New mei skin like if you want it to be one

[@magetech15]

Poor snowball hat to sacrifice himself 😢

[@NareasPL]

eh, when snowball "sacrificed" himself to charge up batteries, she cried, wich was stupid, because she'll recharge him somewhere eventually anyway right? so it's not like he killed herself to save her or anything, as soon as power gets back up he'll be back, smh...

[@pote2frouifruite81]

Zanju i think she didn't know what would happen next so she didn't know that she would maybe have the possibility To get him back

[@FreeGamesMAX]

it's kinda like it was dying, but then later she had solar panels so really it shouldnt've been an issue, or at least not anything to worry about, making it a weird thing to do in retrospect.

[@okdmrz]

I believe it's because, even when her friends were all gone, she still had Snowball, and therefore could cheer up. But at that moment when Snowball used up all the battery, she had literally no one by her and was alone for the first time in the short.

[@OneW1ngedDevil]

Symbolism. Snowball sacrificed itself even in spite of each other being all they had left.

[@hallyuniverse]

She thought she was going to die alone, and Snowball was the only thing left.

[@poptarttoons8734]

As a Mei main, I can definitely say that this was a beautiful short....... and we better get that as a Mei skin at some point in the future.

[@contaminating]

Animated 'short'

[@ojl5055]

10 minutes is really short for a short movie

[@KaitouHAX]

well 9 years passed in those 10 minutes

[@johansward2080]

"KZbin" the magical place where people complain about getting too much content.. :P

[@lettucegod5505]

As short as my dad's trip to the shops :c

[@DragoNightmarE]

you need to see my notification panel after a few days. 100 new videos of 10 minutes (at least) each. And I don't even get notifications from too many channels. KZbin's algorithem is rediculus. YOu can't enjoy your favorite channels anymore because it's all about length now and everyone justfloods you with content. Too many videos but not enough time

[@PhoenixBri1]

HOW YOU DARE giving me feelings about that devil?

[@kieran6610]

MEI IS THICC AF

[@eerowe244]

This is my favourite animated short

[@sieonigh]

why cant girls be this pretty in real life. RL girls are such a disapointment now. :(

[@cocob0l0]

sieonigh 😂 wtf do you live in the Sahara desert? Girls are like 12 but they're look like they're in their 20's working as models.
