Welp looks like your prediction is coming true 😂😂😂

[@julianaboboshko3877]

The MC actually said "ready as I'll ever be" in the new Muriel's chapter!😍 That made me yeet in excitement cuz it seems like the creators actually saw this animatic❤️❤️❤️

[@scarlet_rage]

@@julianaboboshko3877 I knoooow I screeched 😍😍😍 and Muriel was too cute in this book!! I'm so proud of him 😭. I just wish the book was a little longer, I feel like it ended too fast.

That one dislike is Lucio because he wanted heelies instead of boots.

[@agnieszkasalach4395]

Gotta love how gleefuly villanous Lucio is. In almost every other animatic the Varian stand-in is angsty and full of long pent up anger and all "oh, I know history will hate me but it's the right thing to do" and here Lucio is just unapologetically being an evil drama queen. Go, you funky goat man

[@SounddriveWrites]

1:02-1:04 Mazelinka handing her sword over to Portia made me grin so much 1:10 ALL THE SATRINAVA SISTERS IN THE BACKGROUND!!!!! Y E S!!!! 1:33-1:35 If you squint, it looks like Portia and Lucio have their swords crossed on the screen. The whole thing is a gift. Thank you so much for making it and sharing it!

Everytime I here this song... All I see... Is Lucio singing Varien's part... (Sorry is spelt wrong).... Portia singing that girl's part... Julain singing that boys part... Muriel singing the man's part... And either Asra or MC singing Rupunzle's part.

[@skyisherelol3492]

Portia was Cassandra, Julian was flint.

[@HannahTheFlabebe]

Lucio is Varian, Portia is Cassandra, Julian is Flynn/Eugene, Muriel is King Fredrick (Rapunzel's father), and Asra is Rapunzel. Just so you know ;p

Hi animator, I just wanted to say I really love this animatic! 😍😍 I've rewatched it so many time this week alone, its so plot relevant with lots of hidden easter eggs and references , the characters are clear as to who is who, and its so motivational. Thanks for making this amazing piece! 😊😊

You can find an animatic for any fandom, so I'm not surprised this was the first result. This is my favorite animatic I've seen of the song. It's just, 👌.
