TAKE A BREAK, BRO! (HD version)

A casual short I made. Been trying to explore a loose, faster economic style and production pipeline where I can make shorts without spending endless months on it.

Oh you forgot something

"YOU BURNED MY HOUSE TO THE GROUND!" "Take a break bro" "MY FAMILY IS DEAD! WHAT DO I DO?!"

[@lightiiy450]

Damn, that's a strong metaphor for burnout. Love the animation ❤❤❤

[@nairocamilo]

Yes, a literal burn out

[@jmrabinez9254]

Huh? What metaphor are you talking about?

[@DoNotProcrastinate-ek4vf]

I never realized that, really good thinking!

[@PlatedGuy]

​@@jmrabinez9254 when you don't take a break and in the end something forces you to take a break then you feel like you don't have anything to return to literal burn out

[@Sudobeast]

"It's just a prank bro" The prank: 0:51

[@aidenlegobatman]

Molotov

[@HyperImaginative]

Moral of the story, if your pals don't wanna hang out. Molotov Cocktail their house.

[@josey_8204]

That was the friendliest domestic terrorism I've ever seen.

[@Ponsy_J]

Orange Dog: *"You burned my house to the ground!!!"* Yellow Dog: "Come on man, have a break." Pug: "Yeah, we're just goofing around, no need to be hostile. :)"

*"What do I do⁉️"*

[@KalebTheDuck]

I love how your puppy characters, are incredibly dangerous. one knows how to box and has inhuman strength (though, they aren't really human..), the other has a vast knowledge of different weapons.

[@YaBoiHyper]

i think that nobody noticed how the pugs sausage on the stick turned into a fish when the camera changed perspectives.

[@joelmayerprods]

Your "casual" shorts have better animation than my ambitious ones lol. Awesome, love those characters! Als love the story, it's like a very unique blend of pathos, cuteness and a bit of morbidity :D

[@dreaminsepsis2542]

Don’t measure yourself against anybody. I think the key to success in independent animation is finding a style of your own and growing organically like that, while still using useful advice from professionals like Toniko. Also you describe his casual style really well

[@tablettablet3028]

Don't talk down on yourself. Everyone's art is great In its own way.

[@alinbot5836]

I don't think that something such as "bad animation" exists, it just looks... unique because everyone is unique.

[@ИванСнежков-з9й]

Take a break?? The Bro was sleeping! And you burned not only his home, all his work he's been slaving on... you burned your football too!

[@kathleenanimator5736]

I have the opposite problem, I take TOO many breaks

[@AwakeningWings]

This was hilarious and very relatable. I love how it took a Molotov to get their friend to take a break. Burnouts are the worst feeling.

[@tablettablet3028]

I'm convinced both the Yellow dog and the Pug are Sociopaths.

[@jwhyteanim]

Very nice, you`ve got the skills where animating more economically can only mean good things. It forces you to be make snap creative judgments you wouldn't have otherwise, while at the same time making process as a whole less daunting. Can`t wait for more!

[@commandercody8085]

Your not yourself when you are tired

[@LaPlaylistDeTunk]

1:15 that's a 100 gecs song right there lmao AWESOME ANIMATION I LOVE IT!!!

[@daipastels9662]

when life sets your house on fire, roast a marshmallow..

[@cesaremanuellopezvenegas180]

It's amazing how his art style it's "cute" and have the capacity to show this kind of crazy situation and also be serious (sometimes)😂

[@theace8502]

The sound effects in this are just spectacular. Especially the kickball part. The noise of the ball bouncing, the crunch of each step against the grass is just so pleasing

[@erniebeasley8521]

Ah yes, Arson. We do a little trolling

[@aztro.99]

you literally took this comment from my head lmao

[@daviddaveydave]

THIS IS SOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD OMG!!!! You're a huge inspiration to me and your animations have so much life!!!!!!!!!

[@MidoriMushrooms]

with friends like this who needs enemies

[@tjtjmich16p]

I needed this lol, I've been 3d modeling for 4 days straight

[@Xenderman]

Watched this on Instagram and tiktok and showed my entire immediate family. My dad thinks it's sad but my mom and my sister thinks it's funny. Imo these are my favorite videos of yours and I love them

[@buffy9803]

Ah yes I love burning my friends house because I want them to take a break with me and have healthy habits! Anyways the animation was lovely 🩷

[@AcrylicShine]

Disclaimer: There were no breaks taken in the production of this

[@peri6979]

This toon was great loll hanks for the reminder! I love these backgrounds. They're simple yet express so much.

[@Amelia_PC]

There's nothing better than psycho kids burning down your home to invite a workaholic to a hellish marshmallow roast. And I loved it! This animation feels so organic and full of life.

[@chulritti]

I love the sound design here too. particularly the ball

[@theexperimentaltgmvtgmv2097]

La Llorona at the end was unexpected, that's good music over there.

[@IzFanArt69]

bruh i not expect this 2 innocent doge were extreme

[@costelinha1867]

I'm not sure if I would consider literal arsonists "innocent"...

[@theyoungetran3929]

"well i can sleep at your home?" "No"

PRetty fun short, had been following it through twitter and it really was worth it!

[@ANDO714]

i feel like toniko pantoja is one of the animators i look up to

[@Markolado_YT]

You won't take a break? YOU CERTAINLY WILL!!

[@greatdragonanimations8477]

that escalated a lot faster then i thought it would XD

[@americanpride5540]

I adore your animations, not an artist myself so the main content of your channel isn't my thing, but I do enjoy these animations, also your channel mascot is great.

[@samiolbizarro]

Bro casually made a molotov

[@Whomobile]

Cutest Arsony ever

[@chloeloft]

this is so goofy, but i love that about it. plus i think they need to get closer if they wanna actually cook the food lol

[@Bloom8182]

That went from 0 to 100 real quick

[@anomalousanimates]

brutha really just threw a molotov into the person's house just for them to take a break

[@alicebenson8512]

What a cute short. Great message to. There's more to life than practicing our art, sometime you need to rest and have fun.

[@TheKitsuneOnihane]

That escalated so fucking fast!

[@tobyh.6713]

Could almost say they were.... burnt out.

[@SprayNpreyT]

this was so cute and terrible lol I like the message

[@hhadiio]

ur dogs (in the animation) are the cutest lil things ever

[@Mol2412w3]

they’re all so cute

[@Reg_The_Galah]

“You burned my house to the ground, what do I do?”

[@myrdale]

Wow that escalated quickly!

Well that went 0 to 100 quick.

[@cookielikesbobatea]

[@cinderheart8545]

Talk about getting "burn out"! *bah dum tsk* I'll see myself out.

[@tzisorey]

What's a little arson and criminal mischief between friends

[@FuzzyImages]

"did you just burn down my house and ruin 5 months of work to get me to take a break?..... Ok"

[@ace-catel]

Real friendship there... I think

[@AhoTakoyaki]

Beautiful lesson about how to treat your friends. I will implement these teachings as soon as possible.

[@ScientistCat]

Disclaimer: These dogs are trained professionals. Do not use arson to draw your friends outside to relax.

[@pixle973]

That’s going to be one pretty long break! Since they burned his house and everything inside it to the ground and all 😂

[@costelinha1867]

I have no idea of what the hell is going on here, but it's adorable, so good job.

[@Snowmon89]

...... Well, that seems perfectly reasonable. Carry on.

[@ARandomEliatrope]

this was amazing but did they have to molotov him /j

[@selen354]

jeez, you don't have to go that far!

[@luke4yougaming]

well......thats one way to do it.

[@m_lies]

omg that sad dogo... they just set it on fire...

[@mo_arrows2234]

Yellow Dog is a menace

[@catchinggates]

Just casually burns down the house. Goodness XDDDDD

[@animatorFan74]

This is such a cool simple animation.... thanks for making this. This was well made :)

[@FryingMike]

[@Ani-f4i]

Take a break bro Bro:OK I take it Me:But at what cost?
