Spice Frontier | Official Short Film

[@BoredCupcake]

I got here from GLITCH, where this show was introduced to us. Honestly, this was even better than expected and im really looking forward to seeing more episodes and the pilot. Keep up the work!

[@yvessidlacan4900]

Came here from Glitch to to see this and I love it😊

[@jaquessiemasz8650]

Steamroller gang, I hope with all my heart that the Intergalactic Network sees your vision too.

[@SteamrollerAnimation]

Thank you for your support!

[@johnklein2982]

@@davidvangerner7241 They said May 2025. IMHO, definitely worth the wait.

[@stainlesssteelfox1]

There is so much quality animation here on KZbin, and this is definitely part of it.

[@johnklein2982]

I am violently in agreement!!! 😁

[@SteamrollerAnimation]

This is an incredible compliment! Thank you so much!

[@oldbrokenhands]

When I was a kid I watched a movie about Ice Pirates, now I sit as an old man watching Spice Scavengers.

[@mjwolf9529]

You should watch that again. So good. Actually, it was better in my memory. Don’t watch it. But, do.

[@oldbrokenhands]

@@mjwolf9529 Don't have a VHS player anymore, and I have a feeling DVD or stream would ruin some of my schlocky nostalgia.

[@truefanforum3273]

I remember Ice Pirates! And I do have it on DVD, and it's fine.

[@Mariasouza-um8cx]

I could easily watch like, 3 seasons, a movie and a spin-off of this!!!

[@SteamrollerAnimation]

That means a lot! Thank you!

[@sparkycello]

YESSSSS SAMEEEEE

[@Guzwar]

Fingers crossed this gets picked up for a full season ASAP because I'm already deeply invested in the story.

[@chulisimo2424]

What an incredibly well executed animation. Love the whole concept of scavenging for the long lost spices of an ancient civilization gone extinct. Can't wait for more in the pilot next year. Well done! 👍🏼

[@AnimatorHeadSpace]

What no way! We’re getting a premier episode right here on KZbin. I can’t wait.

[@SteamrollerAnimation]

Thank you for your support! Just to clarify, this is the Spice Frontier short film. We're currently working on the pilot episode ☺Excited for you to see it!

[@AnimatorHeadSpace]

@@SteamrollerAnimation Haha yeah, I know. Got totally excited! Can't wait.

[@DungNguyen-mo5zv]

how can i donate to u guys the animation was great keep it going guys❤

[@justas423]

This is really high quality for such a seemingly small production. The only thing better than the animation is the music.

[@oliviab4079]

I’m in love with the visual style and the story sounds fun and unique!!

[@SteamrollerAnimation]

Yay! So glad you like it!

[@hello-hi-5]

This looks fantastic so far, the designs look interesting. The voice acting is great. And music and sound design is good too. And I can see a set up to an intriguing story as well. Also the animation is really well done.

[@SteamrollerAnimation]

Thank you so much! We're so happy you can appreciate how much hard work has gone into every aspect of the film.

[@nerdnalist]

Only thing that needs work is the dialogue. Each second the characters are speaking to each other shouldn’t be painful to listen to. They should be interesting along with moving the story along, if they don’t do both, don’t have them say anything.

[@KBeauFoster]

This looks absolutely fantastic! Robot Captain America with the shield!! I would love to work with y'all in any future projects as a voice actor. In any case, I'll be keeping an eye out for more of your work!

[@mim0so]

Came from Glitchx, this looks amazing! I really loved Treasure Planet as a kid and I'm happy that there are people out there that appreciate it as much as I do!

[@nchldmn]

Saw this at GlitchX Cant wait to see more!

[@youtubebobguy]

Same!

[@brandeesanders6860]

Can’t wait for May!

[@benmalatin5237]

I hope this series goes well! The animation & character designs are appealing & I find the overall concept to be pretty fun. I'll keep an eye out for that pilot!

[@GoldenProxyy]

This short was an excellent example of using the time you have very effectively! I got invested in the characters and their relationship almost immediately and the animation was very impressive! Best of luck with this Spice Frontier journey I can’t wait to see more!

[@SteamrollerAnimation]

That means a lot. Thank you so much! Hope you check out the pilot episode next year!

[@knghtbrd]

"IS THERE AIR?! YOU DON'T KNOW!!" This was very cool.

[@Auroratrek]

Nicely animated, fun voice work, appealing characters, great style and color scheme. Congrats! Hope to see more!

[@insectostrich4407]

This is such an interesting premise that is so simple yet has layers of complexity. I just can’t wait to see this show in its entirety with all of the cast going their adventures.

[@gatorshark0870]

This looks great! Love the visual and story!

[@daimyo2k]

What a wonderful piece of work!! For all that is good and holy, please tell me that you are making this into a series. BRAVO!! Steamroller crew!!

[@SteamrollerAnimation]

That means so much! We're currently in production on the animated pilot! May 2025- Stay tuned!

[@TheAbsoluteCYNical]

This is so good!! Can’t wait to see more of this!!

[@theinvisiblboom]

I really enjoyed this short! The beautiful set design, the character acting, the family friendly tone with a hint of danger and darkness, and the interesting main cast! I’d love to see this as a series, I can’t wait for the pilot! Also, the moment when he whips his gun through the door first made me chuckle XD

[@yinyangyt8749]

I see the future. I’m excited to see where this goes. I know it will be incredible

[@thedarkbard]

Damn, you really nailed my favorite dynamic! Good job all around!

[@Kusanagikaiser999]

Okay HOW THIS ONLY HAVE 70 comments only, man you tube give this channel more exposure, this is incredible, the animation is amazing, the characters are super likable, also love C-La she is pretty badass.

[@bribabytt]

Really liked this; a space aquarium is a neat concept, and the idea that he's a "space chef" searching for spices and seasonings is a fun new angle on SF adventures.

[@chpsilva]

Yeah, an incompetent beta male chef acting like an idiot and being saved by a strong female robot... so "new".

[@Tomhortone]

@@chpsilvadud common at least it’s better than Disney

[@chpsilva]

@@Tomhortone Don't bother answering me, my comment was deleted. Oh well...

[@yevheniihrushetskyi1525]

I'm impressed! Following so long your channel I'm always impressed with the level of your craft and the amount of effort and passion you guys are putting into your films ❤‍🔥

[@SteamrollerAnimation]

Thank you so very much! It's so encouraging when viewers like you can appreciate how much effort and passion goes into animation like this ❤

[@blank557]

You've succeeded in making characters I care about and like. Reminds me a bit of Don Bluth's Space Ace video. Well done!

Dang, that's good.

I'll take 5 seasons please!

[@Arsyad2007]

FINALLY! They Put Mans On It And Make Him Awesome!

[@ninja_tony]

This was absolutely beautiful and amazingly well animated. You all deserve tremendous applause, I’m sitting here in awe right now. I’m an almost lifelong artist myself that is just starting to get into animation, and seeing your work is more inspiring than I can put into words. Can’t wait to see more!

[@MonochromaticPrism]

I like the Lilo and Stitch -esque blaster design. Much more stylized and visually interesting compared to more standard gun designs.

[@joinhaaziq]

Love this!

[@number1mouse]

What a wonderful find!! Love when KZbin drops gems like this into my lap! Subscribed and can’t wait for more!

This deserves more attention

[@kingwolf3044]

That was awesome 🤩 love these characters

[@Elcomedia40k]

Im actually exited for this one, this one has to be one of my favorites that I saw on Glitch x, also Kent reminds me of Chai from hifi-rush

[@feliciabielby325]

100%!!! I thought the same thing with Kent!

[@doctorcorvus1319]

This would be an amazing series to watch, the tale of a cook in space on the hunt for species!

[@somebodyelseathome]

I liked this short film. Didn't this premier before?

[@SteamrollerAnimation]

Your eyes are not deceiving you! We relaunched it to announce the release date of the pilot at the end. We also made some slight tweaks to optimize it it more for KZbin to get the most love for the short. Thanks for following along all this time!

[@gregoryvn3]

I love all of this. 😊

[@aaronkelly1762]

That was really good. Looking forward to the pilot when it comes out.

[@jeremyneilsen1263]

I was just randomely searching 2d animation shorts, this deserves many many more likes! it's brilliant! I was watching thinking damn if only it was a series and the ending I am so keen!

[@Stop_This_Madness]

This is just incredible, It gives me a sort of treasure planet vibe. I can’t wait to see the pilot and hopefully, or inevitably have it developed into a full show!

[@TheFaintdreams]

That was a slice of perfection.

This is absolutely FABULOUSE. Indie animation is really getting somewhere.

[@SteamrollerAnimation]

Thank you! It's exciting to see Indie animation is getting the recognition it deserves.

[@serenitychozen]

This definitely peaked my interest. I think it should definitely become an entire series or at the very least a miniseries.

This was soooo well done! I LOVED IT! The silhouettes, the character designs, the personality, the whole idea!...Man, what a great animation! Love this indie era of cool ideas!

[@fluffnight]

Love this! I was talking with a friend after an animation talk/panel in town about a short I wrote about a character in space looking for ingredients to make a specific recipe and a secondary idea I had about humans in the future looking for ingredients in space. She sent me this short! Love what you did! Subscribing and can't wait for more!

[@RafaMad3D]

Wouw! Love the style

[@SteamrollerAnimation]

Thank you!

[@MagashiSaizen]

That pilot news at the end made my day, I was just thinking how I would watch a whole show of this. This should be picked up by a network or something and get it serialized.

[@GunmadMadman]

I approve of this animation and feel it deserves a bigger audience.

[@jamieolberding7731]

Steamroller Animation 8.41K subscribers To Steamroller Animation: I really really enjoyed watching this beautifully well animated, well acted, and well written "Spice Frontier" short. BTW... I heard that you guys are currently working on a TV Series for "Spice Frontier" and I hope you guys and successful and I wish you all good luck. Also, Who are the main antagonist/villain of your upcoming "Spice Frontier" animated TV Series? As I've heard some people say from time to time: "Every hero needs a really great villain."

Awesome! So glad I was recommended this video! Can't wait to see what's next!

Holy Smokes! What a homerun of a pilot you have here. I mistook this for a genuine Hollywood production. This has so much love put into it. You guys have a bright future ahead of you

[@gatofeo9762]

Love the couple, hope this show make it pass the pilot.

[@bigkebizino8970]

That was amazing, one of the best 3d animations ive ever seen!

[@241sail6]

One of the best I've seen. This would make an excellent feature film.

[@ElJorro]

This needs all the support we can give it! Indie Animation! And it's SCI-FI!!!

[@TheGreatYoRpFiSh]

We, the whole world really, need more stories set in abandoned space aquariums.

Agreed

[@KARMAZYNA]

I must've re-watched that little detail of him turning on his heel about 10 times already. Such good stuff! ❤

[@cassandratastrophe9000]

This! That little kick-spin when he sees the first pile of spice is just a perfect bit of animation.

We got a fantastic team, don't we?

[@shinankoku2]

This was very very cool. And as much as I enjoyed animation and character design and all that I just want to point out the sound design was actually just as spectacular. Good sound engineering doesn’t get enough credit

[@Animotions01]

This is great!!I love the aesthetic So glad to see new original IP/universes being created I hope this succeeds SUBSCRIBED!!

[@TSO01]

I want full season of this c-la. I mean, this serial.

[@SteamrollerAnimation]

Aww love to hear that!

[@RebelScum312]

Beautiful, I'm in love! The art design, graphics, animation flow, writing, directing & voice acting land in a sweet spot between Treasure Planet & Genndy Tartakovsky, it's perfect & I can't wait to go on more space adventures with Kent & C-LA! Bonus backstory in the intro on the Omeleto channel version for anyone interested.

[@AetherialDraconian]

I think this would make for a great dungeon crawler

[@ryeguy7471]

I’m getting Titan A.E. and The Iron Giant vibes in the best way possible. There’s still an audience for this kind of animation. Keep up the good work!👍

[@patrick_j_lee]

Wow, that was some top tier animation! Not to mention the fun characters/ A great set up for a series. Hope to see more soon Subbed!

[@jimmyryan5880]

Fantastic, I would watch the hell out of a movie or series. Loved every second.

[@jamesneese7663]

Simple but very effective animation and brief story that made most of its 8 min run time. I think it was a great short and look forward to future installment

[@rpgreseller]

That is so well written. The guy's totally into cooking. This series makes stuff like salt cool. The way it's written, it's a shoe-in of a sales pitch to have it be a whole series. The concepts are so lovable. The idea that something from 'ancient human' could be cool is something I think kids would identify with. Kinds strokes the ego and even makes them appreciate the time of 'now' as special. The hero is successful through not only team work, but cleverness. He wins with the mind, not might. That's a hero with some serious depth. Smart, history buff, author, chef,... space pilot. Ha! - He wears so many hats. That's a cool hero. His sidekick continually disagrees with him. That's really entertaining. he argues with charming banter. It's like... shut up and take my money. This is great! You did it. If you do nothing but what produced this masterpiece, you will clearly have a wonderful and profound career. You have the talent to write one of the big ones.

[@QuarterD25]

This was really good. Thanks for making and sharing it!
