I agree with your opinion. and can you all stop spamming that

[@elliotgabriel4580]

This feels like one of those old cartoons that consists of 60% random, beautifully animated visual gags the animators threw in to flex their skills, see what sticks, or just because they could, all the way back to the very first days of the medium. And it's *glorious.*

[@redcherry8137]

I imagine this is what everything was like before pandering became so severe

[@uriahguyton8548]

It reminded me of Superjail

[@Cock6339]

@redcherry8137 pandering hmm? Salty about something?

[@NashTheBlade]

Well you can't say this isn't the cartooniest thing that ever tooned its way out of toon town, right?

[@animeluigiboy]

This feels like a video game cutscene disguised as a cartoon, and I absolutely adore it. Instantly a 10/10!

[@mi12no]

All of the QuickTime events in one video

[@femi.k2204]

I only realised after 7 min that I’m not watching a trailer for a video game

[@Eudaletism]

Paul Robertson has long been the greatest master of pixel art and it's amazing to see him constantly taking things to a new level.

[@cyanflower]

most godlike pixel art video I've ever seen in my life. pure quality humor and visuals, and JAKE KAUFMAN ON THE MUSIC??? instant 11/10

[@krux02]

I recommend to look up other work from Paul Robertson as well. Here is a good one: Kings of Power 4 Billion percent.

Please turn JIMMY AND BABY into a full show or video game or something! I'M BEGGING YOU!!! I NEED MORE!!!

[@scarletweb2106]

Please

[@ravenbearden6695]

Right with ya on that. This gives a whole meaning of controlled chaos that I have always adore and things turning alright in the end. And with addition to cuteness and violence which I love.

[@meshowzq1430]

I’m sure this was one of, if not, the hardest piece of art to ever be animated… animation is hard let alone animating a whole episode of pixel art, this is crazy man.

[@moxifloxi]

the quality is shockingly impressive holy shit

[@redcherry8137]

Right almost like they focused on the art instead of ads or other bs like that

[@Kvvz_]

Sup, Mox. It's extremely smooth.

[@Zimiyz]

Of course you’re here.

Glad to know that people are noticing this masterpiece. :)

[@ShadowFlame500]

*I see cute pixel art video* "Well this looks cool and cute" *First 10 seconds in and there are naked dancing pixies* 😳

[@John_OrangeFish]

Idk about u man but I ain’t complaining

[@ZamrayzRayzoray]

My question is how the hell did it get past KZbin censorship lol

[@Brain_With_Glasses]

It's a loophole, it has a pixel artstyle so KZbin thinks it's mosaic censorship. There is gameplay of pixelart porn games on KZbin because if this.

[@moniflow]

​@@Brain_With_Glasses AYO?!

[@arcecapo28]

​@@moniflowhe is right, I've watched countless videos like that in here

[@1mortalkombatlover]

This deserves WAAAAAY more attention! the amount of detail, effort, and charm in this animation is overwhelming! The story may be simple, there may be alot of distractions from the main plotline, there may even be uncensored devil boobs that could upset a person or 2. However there is so much talent going into these visual gags, fluidity in the animation, a pure kind of fun and humor that everyone involved had with this project that is clear to see in every scene. It is evocative of many great cartoons of the looney tunes era while having a modern feel and with fleshed out pixel art no less! I hope Jimmy and Baby go a long way!

[@minunn.minunlet.M.minunnington]

Straight up eye candy. Visuals, music, animation, sound effects so amazing. Best pixel art video ive seen ever.

[@roadtripwarrior]

Outstanding. I don’t think enough people will realize how insanely difficult this was to make

[@LuznoLindo]

You're correct. This was pretty much an extended indie game cutscene, and you know how hard those are to make already.

[@shadowdude101]

I am incredibly lucky to have existed in the short window of time in the entirety of human history to have borne witness to such a masterpiece. I will show this to my friends, my lover, my family, and possibly a toad I find on my nightly walks.

[@DonovanPresents]

I was NOT expecting that beginning! 😂

[@PikaPetey]

DUDE!! this was FANTASTIC!!!! such brilliant display of pixel art and cartoon violence!!

[@Izanagioomikami]

Of course it was. That's mfking Paul Robertson. What did you expect?

@@AhmedMalaki Damn right

[@AhmedMalaki]

@@Izanagioomikami yeah but I feel like he isn't as popular as he deserves to be you know ? He has an impressive resume like the animator for the street fighter episode of gravity falls And animating so many pixel specials for adult swim and being the animator and artist of so many games Yet he isn't as popular as he deserves to be

[@hennaoctopus]

The chaos energy here is off the charts

[@LuznoLindo]

It helps they're after a gem that looks like the ones from a certain game that represent chaos.

[@errentthought9057]

You should have seen Paul's earlier stuff!

[@nicodelle7160]

It really felt like he invented a million ways to commit murder/die Creative as hell

[@UnKnown-tv1fx]

Your work is really impressive. Giving liveliness and dynamism to 2D drawings is difficult, the fact that you can squeeze so much expressiveness out of pixelart makes my brain melt, friend. You have no idea how much respect I have for you, I hope you go to bed every night proud of the things you create.

@@BenStoneking ahhh shucks :)

[@oldbrokenhands]

Cool to see one of these with sound and voice. Had flashbacks of Popeye, Tom and Jerry, and Pink Panther; but for a grown-up punk crowd. Thanks for a wild, fun 20 minutes.

This is hands down the best thing I've seen on KZbin in ages. I'm so glad I checked it out. Thank you so much!

I don't understand why this video doesn't have 10M+ views. I can watch Paul's works every day endlessly

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

The part where Baby Frog pummelled the Catfish and ends him by taking his heart out goes hard with the pixel art animation in the most "beat-em up" way possible. And all that for a drop of blood just to avenge Jimmy.

[@xostler]

The catfish turning real during that made me absolutely lose it

[@therealjames2009]

his name is baby boy and is baby

[@cistelarchive4144]

Found this animation completely on accident and I LOVE it. Everything's so full of personality and life! Jimmy and Baby are an amazing if chaotic duo too.

[@mmmmmmm856]

this astonishing masterpiece is like climbing up a tree and seeing many branches that can be used to reach the top but instead of choosing one path of branches you decided to use all of the branches and purposely brake all of them which made them grow into other trees that you decided to climb again to reach even a higher top

[@SublimeWeasel]

[@MsLibrary]

Those were actually fantastic abstractions, this is babyfood...?

[@XSquareWave]

Such a great mix of SpongeBob cutaway gags, pixel art, and early flash animations. The bits at 8:07 and 15:20 feel like cheeky homestuck references.

[@TheRadicalOneNG]

I've been following Paul's work ever since Kings of Power and It's just the most encouraging thing seeing him still creating works of absolute ART. This is the peak and will live with me for the rest of my life.

[@DemonicAkumi]

I'll never get tired of Paul's work. Not sure how many years it's been (maybe 20 now?) but it's still as awesome as I've remembered.

[@veryverybadanimations5601]

And still no more than 50k views on his vids wth

[@HeadPats4Peter]

​@@veryverybadanimations5601 as of today, there's ~75k views & 12k likes. so it's a win 👍

[@Oni_Manga_Land]

This was incredible. It's nice to see a Paul Robertson animation a whopping 20 minutes long. And it's very clear to see exactly which moments Robertson went nuts. That being said, huge thanks to Michelle Larney and Dave Supplee (as well as the other animators) for the slower-paced moments. I loved those just as much. Gonna watch this on Newgrounds and send more love there.

[@ravidravidravid]

Much of the writing was meant to be a canvas for Paul to go buckwild, and even within the visual gags we wrote out he would always kick it up a notch and have us dying laughing at extra stuff he’d throw in (like the worm gettin the electric chair)

[@Oni_Manga_Land]

@@ravidravidravid I appreciate this info. That's great to hear how Paul was given a set up haha!

[@Steven_ngandzami]

So now I'm speechless.... This perfection is incredible. Funny animation with designs Stunning and colourful. It reminds me of a mix between one of those good retro video games and cartoons. With the fun scenario with characters with a lot of personality . Surely easily in the top 3 animations of 2024. Keep it up Aslo my favorite part is the "BABY MODE"

[@insidiousy]

Truly, an astounding work of art. I can't get over how much this just screams passion. Please never stop creating things!

[@santumChannelYes]

i would watch at least 3 seasons of this

[@TheRealAlpha2]

But Adult Swim would only give you 2, max.

[@bradybrapples]

@@TheRealAlpha2 and they'd only give them $200 and a ham sandwich to make it and it'd get pulled off hbo max in 3 weeks this is so good - wish we still lived in a world where people would throw money and resources at stuff like this

[@bernardomcf2842]

This is probably top 10 short animations I've ever watched. Music, story, characters, humour, action scenes, all on point. Amazing work of art!

[@opal-.]

this is the best goddamn thing i’ve seen in so long. i love this so much. the specific animations for every character, the little pieces of humor with every character, the character development of both jimmy and baby, i loved so much about it. thank you for putting this to light, brightened my night up

[@nicenights6121]

[@clembule2201]

Randomly watched this with someone just now and it’s crazy how visually appealing it is i dont think ive scrolled back to see single shots and frames of animation as much as this!! Artstyle/Visual aesthetics/color schemes and all the animation and the references in them (to other media or like how someone lit up when they got damaged) and sound design and voice acting (and how characters sounded when they talked if not talking) were all so awesome One of the most creative animations ive seen ever its crazy to me that it doesnt have at least 1+ mil views when it’s so replayable!! great stuff to the entire team :P

[@Maggot-Milk]

this is INSANE. As a pixel artist, Its hard to even imagine all the work that went into this, great work!

[@chrispysaid]

god, this is the kind of dedication to the craft you just don't see anymore, and rounded out with the most absurd saturday morning cartoon logic imaginable I am in love with what you've done. a truly worthy addition to your body of brilliant works

[@deadmeatjr]

[@oLau3n]

bro, the level of quality of this animation is impressive, I can't describe in words how fluid and beautiful the animation is, it always feels like I'm watching a cartoon from the 60s/70s where the animation was frantic and had great jokes, and it's incredible the way combined this into a pixel art

[@dongonzulman6478]

the only 20 minute video I've gone through frame by frame What an amazing wild ride. Awesome to see more Paul Robertson (and co.) long form stuff. must have taken ages!

[@RedPandaTables]

Feel halfway through you went "screw the plot, location or even theme. I just want to have random things happen because I feel like doing this animation at this given day" just to turn around and go back to the plot and finish the animation up. Not giving criticism though, sometimes I miss random stuff happening because that what an animator feel like doing at that moment. Remind me of old rubber hose animations in that sense. The sleepy mouse bit though on that note was my favorite and likely wouldn't even happen if you stick to an overall plot "like you should".

[@Oni_Manga_Land]

I bet an IOU of $1million dolars all the random stuff was Paul Robertson's doing.
