Is REANIMAL Connected To Little Nightmares? Trailer Explained!

Welcome to my breakdown and analysis of all the things you might have missed in the REANIMAL trailer!
REANIMAL is the latest game developed by Tarsier studios, the developers of Little Nightmares and Little Nightmares 2!
Recently the trailer for REANIMAL was shown off at Gamescom. While this is a completely different series to Little Nightmares, I think the trailer shows that there are far more similarities than I was expecting.
In fact, the trailer hints that REANIMAL is the spiritual successor to little Nightmares, and some of the lost content from those games seem to have influenced REANIMAL quite a lot.
So join me as I offer my own thoughts and theories on the first trailer for REANIMAL!

[@nichellem5400]

Seeing Reanimal trailer gives me an idea of why Taser Studios stepped away from little nightmares. It seems they had a lot of ideas and concepts for little nightmares that simply were dismissed. Sadly this happens when you work with other labels/ managements. I am hoping Reanimal turns out to be everything they wanted and includes all concepts they desired to be in little nightmares now be included in Reanimal 🥳

[@MistaManlyGuy]

[@HarukaxYuuki]

Yeah, I had the same thought, I dont know how the partnership with Bandai for LN was, but I am a game dev and have worked with publishers that have been very restrictive on what to do and what not to do, most of the time making so that the game ends up becoming very dull

[@mitch.Dream.]

​@@MistaManlyGuy why you saying it everywhere.

[@9ightdreamer]

Aaaand this is why publishers shouldnt have this much freedom and restriction with the creator's creativity and vision.

[@whip1720]

Im happy to see both games people are saying one looks better then the other but to me they both capture the little nightmares universe perfectly. Little nightmares 3 feels empty and spacious story told by the scenery/plot With things along the way. Reanimals seems like a take on the universe where things are more in your face a bit darker. Leaning more into the horror. Plot maybe easier to follow. Both will be great

[@monroerobbins7551]

Agreed! Like, both have their highlights, and both have their strengths. Little Nightmares is a series that doesn’t rely on dialogue, and kind of emphasizes on a lack of connection, as you try to survive in an alien world. ReAnimal feels like the protagonists have some connection to the world, like with their animal masks, and the world has both verbal and visual storytelling. The same world, but different methods of exploration, but not TOO different, if that makes sense.

[@slidersides]

We’re getting 2 little nightmares if you think about it

if Little nightmares shows what the relationship between children and adults are like in this world, maybe reanimal does the same but with animals

[@FV0RT3X]

Funny how people theorize of it being in the Little Nightmares universe when tarsier themselves posted a teaser of Reanimal back in 2022 saying: "New world. Emphasis on NEW" But tbh it's not our fault it looks like LN lmfao

[@Key-Knight87]

Tbf they could be throwing us off and the reason why they say that is because they don't own LN anymore. To us it's going to be the same world. I'm even expecting some Easter eggs too. It's The TRUE LN3.

[@Lou_Flou]

Yeah but since we heard in The Sound of Nightmares that there’s a huuuge amount of diversity of place and monsters (humans, objects one…) and in all dimensions there is tiny kids that trying to escape sometimes together, it’s hard to not make a connection Plus has Tericho said, it looks like one is “dreaming” (he’s in his bed and doesn’t mind the lamb) and we KNOW that the world of LN exist through kids dreams So really hard to distinguish both universe

[@marthaelenabrenesorozco2953]

GOOD VIDEO, I don't understand why people are already saying that "REANIMAL is much better than LN3" when neither of the 2 have come out, I personally like both without the need to compare, why are people so childish they act as if to like a game they have the obligation to hate all the other games that resemble it

[@СтефаноНачев]

@@marthaelenabrenesorozco2953 ,,Reanimal looks better" and ,,I hate LN3" are too different things

[@piplupcola]

Idk why people are already comparing and negative about LN3 when it hasn't even come out yet. Tarsier could have easily just swept LN into their vault of finished series and we could've never gotten to see it again but they passed it on the Super Massive and now we have 2 games to enjoy! Its like getting 2 presents for Christmas and still complaining about it. As a big fan of these types of games i wholeheartedly welcome and am so excited for both Reanimal and LN3 and i will play and enjoy both of them.

[@christopherlyndsay8611]

I mean personally I’d rather a series stop than have a big drop in quality. I hope LN3 turns out good but from what I’ve seen so far it lacks inspiration. There’s nothing truly new or striking like there was in the previous games trailers, and even the giant baby shares the same gimmick as the eyes from the first game.

[@alisherif-jz6fv]

If u watched their podcast the carnival episode they built up a character who was very dark and mysterious and his role was very gruesome and he will probably be in the carnival chapter so saying that they are not creative would he a stretch

[@dametriasgreen3749]

It’s crazy how everyone was so positive about LM3 with the initial trailer (just check the comments) up until Reanimal got revealed. I still think they both look good. I’m personally more excited for Reanimal because it looks scarier and more mature, but they both look good.

I think the line at the end of the trailer which says "I thought you were dead" is reminiscent to "Pet Sematary" where the characters come back to life but they aren't the same. They could have accualy died, but were brought back to life by this evil force.

[@СтефаноНачев]

@@josh-lz5fb yeah she sounded scared when she said it

my theory is that maybe LN3 and RA is working together I thought you was dead what if six and mono meet again in one of the games and six meets mono again and says I thought you was dead to mono

[@BLBird336]

im guessing its a bit like Siren Blood Curse. they die, soon after they revive but then turn into a monster

[@genderno7448]

WOOOO IM SO HAPPY YOUR BACK WITH LITTLE NIGHTMARES THEORIES

[@monroerobbins7551]

3:45 I think one thing that made this bit particularly horrifying to me is something that I doubt is connected, but is still scarred into my memory. There’s a disease that infects deer and elk, and turns them into something reminiscent of zombies, it’s called Chronic Wasting Disease. Open sores and rot, empty dead eyes despite still technically being alive, and particularly, their messed up bones and joints. The rotting while still alive, the sickening bones cracking, it’s very visceral. While I do love Little Nightmares, I’m just as excited to see ReAnimal, as it covers certain aspects of horror that, while not as easily marketable, is still just as fascinating, especially with the concept of predator and prey (which, I LOVE that the big monster is a scary lamb. It’s not often you see monstrous lambs being a main antagonist, so it’s nice to see!).

[@Dingalsodong]

Am I the only one who is getting massive G. Orwell's Animal Farm from this? It could be a twisted world where animals took over but they are also literall monsters

I've just been binge watching your videos ever since I found out about your channel, which was... today...

[@JvmezPlayz]

My theory is that the Hunter is connected to Reanimal. Knowing the hunter loves taxidermy, and there is a deformed moose head on his wall. Not to mention the massive moose that was supposed to be in the backgrounds of the woods, that got scrapped. Could the hunter have gotten powers from the thin man, and used them to reanimate dead animals that he has taxidermized? We do know he likes to use taxidermy to bring people "back to life" by putting fake versions of them in different rooms. (the dining room with his family and his mom in the attic) although they werent alive because he didnt have any powers. But maybe, that changed? I'd like to add that the doctor could be related too. He brought mannequins to life. Him and the hunter could have teamed up to bring back dead animals, using the hunters taxidermy and the doctors power to bring things to life.

[@sudokuacrobatics]

It's funny how the moment Supermassive Games posted another trailer for Little Nightmares 3, Tarsier Studios here just rushes in and steals their thunder, it's like: Supermassive; Heyy, guys. We were very busy on this game we've had the responsibility of developing, we have a new trailer out, so I hope you like it- Tarsier: Halo! We have new game out! It's about children... Running away from monsters! No, not LIttle Nightmare, what are you talking about? Anyway hope you like! And the fans rush to the Reanimal trailer.

[@AbbadonLich]

Rather than that spider beast being a nod to the soots, I think it looks a lot like that demon/tatarigami of the god Nago in the beginning of Princess Mononoke, with the multiple humanoid arms and big furry like body... What do y'all think?

[@Futz_the_Futzbulous]

The Smiling man holding a resemblance to the Pale City attire tho.

[@SealWithHat]

Any game coming from them is always convincingly fire.

[@cathygrandstaff1957]

5:13 I feel like the spider-like creature is more of a nod to the cursed boar god in Princess Mononoke, since both have a similar overall look, although the one in Mononoke has those maggot-like curse worms emerging from it. The giant hole makes me think of a hole going all the way down into hell. It kinda reminds me of an old 80s horror movie called The Gate where the protagonists are a bunch of kids who dig up a geode that seems to have been blocking a gate into Hell and have to spend the rest of the movie dealing with demons invading while they try to return the geode and seal the hole. I feel like the trailer is hinting the protagonists set the disaster in motion, possibly by doing something as innocent seeming as dropping the dead body of a lamb that had died on their farm down a deep pit. The girl’s rabbit mask stands out, both because it’s the only mask that seems to have been intended as a mask, and because it reminds me of the Huntress mask from Dead by Daylight. The lamb and pig both symbolically have links to the underworld. The lamb because it is the symbol of Jesus Christ, a character who comes back from the dead, and the pig because of Orcus, the Roman god of the underworld.

Also in Very Little Nightmares the secret jack in the boxes feature a similar looking girl in a fox mask, and a boy with a sack head like a scarecrow. This is likely an idea they’ve had for a while. Also the monster with hands and babies is likely more a reference to the Demon from Princess Mononoke, and possibly what would happen if you attached the Kodama from the same movie since they have a kinda creepy pale baby look.

[@notno9557]

11:54 the big fuzzy spider just looks like the other half of the big lamb's body was taken off

[@tripleAAAbattery.]

One of my first thoughts while watching the trailer was how the dude dragging a body inside the cinema looks like one of the TV corrupted people from LN 2, and made my own head Cannon they are in the same universe, but in a very different location from LN 2 and LN 1 Edit: upon further inspection of the trailer the dude dragging the body has a face, unlike the TV people. But i still head cannon it as being in the same universe

[@VampyRosette]

Honestly I think that the spider creature looks more like no face during the chase scene in the bath house, especially with how it moves and climbs. Also I think the creature we see tearing the wall at around 6:32 might be the lamb: It seems to have several spindly limbs coming from its back but also human limbs like legs and arms in a more human-esque anatomic structure, similar to the build we see of the lamb around 10:36 it also seems to have a less furry and smoother texture to it in some spots.

I did have a theory that this was a prequel to Ln2, but after finding out it's a different franchise I gave up on that. Ln1 felt like it focused more on adrenaline and the horror was having to run for your life. Ln2 felt like it focused more on the horror of isolation, two small children who only have each other in a post apocalyptic world much too big for them. This feels like we're gonna be watching the apocalypse happen, watch the world fall apart around us with no way to stop it. The fear of inevitability like death, since there's a big focus on that with the reanimated animals and there was a guy walking like a zombie.

[@Noshushpls]

I think it is cause all of tarsiers previous games link to little nightmares I can’t imagine with this game being so simolilar it too wouldn’t be also note how the characters in reanimal are dressed like boy and girl in the paintings in the lady’s quarters in game 1 also important to note the kids nightmares reflect fear around them and the voice at the beginning of the trailer is a northern English accent where you would find loads of farm animals even sometimes fields of them in developed areas

I feel like they took a huge inspiration from the movie, Annihilation. Cuz you can see that the animals have some human features, like having a human arm and you can see a pig standing up like a human. You can sort of see as well that the humans in this game sort of acts like an animal, but you know what I mean

[@clownfrown]

honestly i’m excited for both LN3 and reanimal, these both have potential

[@eleonora7490]

I am more excited for Reanimal than Little Nightmares, despite loving the first two titles from Tarsier

[@Vibechecks]

14:17 that looks like the pig with its guts spilling out in the reanimal trailer

[@westcoastgirl1418]

Your Theories are so good, i think that they also got inspired of the Ps2 game ICO and not just Studio Ghibli, in Little Nightmares 2 there was an easter egg about ICO (The Watermelon at the end) and they also escaped with a boat that looks exactly like the boat they travel in Reanimal

[@bobzdobz2161]

Great video, it sucks they don’t have the rights to little nightmares but if we get a game like this where their ideas can run wild I’m all for it especially if it’s an open world (exploring with boat) as well

[@Invisob]

Bandai isn’t publishing reanimal. There may be Easter eggs but there’s gonna be huge legal issues if they tried to make a direct connection. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Tericho]

Yeah you could have watched the first 2 minutes of my video and you would have heard me say pretty much that.

[@Invisob]

@@Tericho I did watch it. Solid vid. I’m just seeing a bunch of other vids like this pop up suggesting there’s a connection somehow and wanted to comment on that in general.

[@jilliancrawford7577]

I can't help but think of "sacrificial lamb" in regards to the sheep and wonder what that will symbolize in the game, especially with how prevalent the sheep imagery is. Plus, criminals being hung in a public square often served as a warning to others to stay in line, it's own sacrifice for the greater good and appease authority. Given that the brother reflects this, it makes me think he was to be some kind of sacrifice like the sheep. I'm unsure of any parallels with the rabbit off the top of my head, but the sheep and sacrificial lamb themes are definitely important.

[@christopherlyndsay8611]

I’ve been pretty disappointed in what I’ve seen of LN3 so far, but Reanimal seems to fill that void perfectly

[@theelementalgriffin2092]

Thank you! I lowkey hate the fact we’re basically getting a giant porcelain baby as the main threat instead of deformed looking humanoid monsters.

[@СтефаноНачев]

@@theelementalgriffin2092 this whole monster is basically a mishmash so far, a concept from the art book of the second game, a doll like the bullies and a petrifing eye from the first and on top of that like you said, it's not a deformed human, like seeing how and why the humans are deformed is the best part

[@theelementalgriffin2092]

@@СтефаноНачев I also remember the trailer also teasing humanoid background characters/potential enemies too.

[@christopherlyndsay8611]

@@theelementalgriffin2092 I think the reason it doesn’t work for me is because all the previous enemies have been uncanny through their design and animations, while the baby is just imposing. Being imposing isn’t enough for a good scary design imo

[@СтефаноНачев]

@@christopherlyndsay8611 YES, you’re right, that’s what is missing, I couldn’t pinpoint it, body horror, basically every monster is scary, because it’s a deformed human so the horror comes from the fear that something like this has happened to a fellow human and can happen to you (not literally, but you understand what I mean), that’s why the monsters who doesn’t follow that formula are not the main ones, bullies, living hands etc, by applying this to the main monster the affect of body horror is lost and that has always been what makes LN scary, imposing isn’t enough always, well said

[@bealea1127]

"New world. Emphasize on NEW." Y'all don't listen 😭😭😭

[@Tericho]

And you didn't watch the video. I clear this up in the literal intro.

[@koraiko]

I could test Booth games demos at Gamescom. Little nightmares 3 looked like they just took the city from little nightmare 2 and put new "adults" in it and changed it to a desert... Reanimal had those chase scenes from little nightmare 1 & 2. Yes Booth games are not finished and I saw just a bit (puzzle vs chase scene) but I had a better feeling in reanimal Edit: children in reanimal are also enemies :D

[@abrokecupoftea]

it feels crazy being so early lol

[@ttdkwta]

HELL YES! I am SO here for this! It has been such a good year for horror! So glad horror is getting clever and mysterious again!!!

[@Harl420Dragon]

5:12 I would say it closer resembles No Face from Spirited Away when he gobbles up all the food and some of the people in the bath house

[@tatansteve2gaming337]

By the time I liked the count was at 798 and now that I just finished it's up to 839. I feel cozy sharing this with 43 more people :)

[@monroerobbins7551]

5:47 from what I can see, that creature has a deer skull, I think. There’s empty spaces and gapping that remind me of that kind of skull

[@MJJPAND]

I think when he talks about the underwater part that when something comes out with the water, it’s a human or hammerhead shark because the head looks like a hammer kind of if you look closely

[@AuriPlayzz]

I mean it could be an alternate reality or something, but I do think they’re seperate. However it does seem to be a spiritual successor to Reanimal, in which reflects Tarsier’s true anticipations. If you want to connect them, then I’d say The Nowhere is kind of like a limbo zone, and wherever Reanimal is set, is some type of Hell - since hell is a very emphasised word in the description.

[@AlexTheBlue24]

I thought the kid with the bag on his head looked more like he represented a mouse than a pig

[@Vegeta241]

Honestly I’m excited for both games, especially since both games look like they will have co-op in them. My fiancée and I loved Little Nightmares 1 and 2. We took turns in game who was in the “drivers seat”. My fiancée played through the first Little Nightmares, while I played through the second game (I don’t remember which of us played through the first game’s DLC). So I think it will be an awesome full circle moment when these games come out and we can play them together.

[@BLBird336]

my theory is that towards the end of the game, something happens to the girl and she reanimals into the finale monster we have to escape from

[@Conscience_EP]

How did you find all these connections in the LN games?! Did you redo them over and over again to find out everything? I'm impressed, I never noticed the ham leg and even less the rabbit face... Anyway, great vidéo ! Congratulations and thanks from France ! 🇨🇵💯😁

[@Tericho]

Yeah. I have 75 hours played in Little Nightmares 1 😅

[@Conscience_EP]

@@Tericho Haha, it explains everything ! 🤣

[@salmanalshatti9209]

I actually think the Brother's hood/mask is actually supposed to be a bear mask, because rabbits and bears have always been associated with one another (and I'm not just talking about Five Nights at Freddy's)

[@Crimson_Dagger8]

Can’t wait for both of these games, I prefer the darker, more morbid world look of reanimal but I think both worlds are designed masterfully, and LN will always have a special place for me. Great review and theorising as always

[@kenallenchannel3911]

Tbh I thought the smiling man was mono but as soon i had a close look at it, i assumed that its wasn’t him lol

[@gray1013]

I hope a brand deal is able to happen in the future that can connect the two game worlds, assuming little nightmares three doesn’t ruin the lore… it would be a shame for little nightmares’ story to go to waste and not have the world building it deserves.

[@seriouss.d505]

What i noticed was the similarities between the lamp last transformation and the monster we see in the darkness crashing into the wall , it has several hands on its back and a pair of human hand and legs , maybe they are the same?!

[@DogWhisper]

What i’ve heard of Reanimal the children are technically in hell, and they are meeting creatures based on their trauma. So this could mean that outside hell they live in a world just like Little Nightmares.

[@Jackiebobdude]

the man on the tricycle reminds me a lot of the cycling man from the City of Metronome
