Hello! 🤩

[@bahesb2419]

I am impressed at how they managed to avoid copyright law by just showing the famous characters we all know and love themself but saying their names wrong.

[@Axolotl_2347]

Honestly it’s kinda annoying. The constant pop culture references just gets on my nerves

[@FairFeline]

@@Axolotl_2347 a massive part of TAOM is that it is a pop culture parody series

[@Bananalord_error]

That's kinda the point of the series It's about fanart, so obviously you're gonna have a lot of pop culture references. ​@@Axolotl_2347

[@alexor1327]

@@Axolotl_2347 It's not so bad, once it's used for rare occasions.

[@Momoyue]

It's not all that impressive. Shows have been doing this for years. So long as the names are different and the characters aren't identical, you can get the viewer to understand the reference through similarities. It's like how animes always have a McDonalds but with a W or U instead of an M and with the similar logo and color scheme.

[@ThenewTchannel]

The references they made in the pilot were hilarious. The Toy Story analogy was literally called out by Winn, an "ice queen" princess is mentioned multiple times, Giorgio mentions disdain for a prosecutor character in his game called "Ledgeworth", and Sousuke's show has a spin-off about his son that nobody watches (hint hint)

[@elsinaattheworkshop]

Boruto😭

[@Suited_Nat]

@@elsinaattheworkshopyep 😂 I cackled at that.

[@KBgTGsu7]

Yup. They were *really* going for the jugular with those jokes, not to mention all the shade being thrown at Elsa, The Promised Neverland and Boruto. 😅

[@bahesb2419]

I don’t think OC is dead because OC is still an idea and you can’t kill an idea. I think he is just trapped inside the ripped page and can’t get out of his own.

[@danielasanmartin2997]

"As long as Pip continues to draw you, you'll stay alive!" - Giorgio the detective

[@arashiuchiha1591]

What if Pip just draws OC 2.0?

[@stardustpie1992]

I think OC woke up before the others and is somewhere else. He’s the same height as Winn if you include her hat, so Sousuke could’ve mistaken OC for Winn on the second night, and there’s no actual way to tell who or what, if anything, was on the ripped out page because there’s too little of it left. And OC was feeling excited before he went to sleep, which makes it easy to wake up early. Plus, in murder mysteries, if they don’t actually find a body, the victim is probably still alive.

[@thecursedqueen9185]

no,they said characters die if pip give up on drawing them, which I think she's done for OC (at least temporarily)

[@WheatleyBot]

​@@stardustpie1992didn't Sousuke say that he saw Winn was awake before him, if we say that everyone wasn't lying in that moment then that means he might saw OC not Winn, you might be into something here

[@bahesb2419]

When I first watched the pilot I assumed that it took a few months or half a year to make. I was surprised to learn it took 2 YEARS to make it. Never assumed it takes so long to make a pilot.

[@danielasanmartin2997]

I mean, did you see the quality?! It's spectacular...best things take time ^^

[@sonicsnake44]

Given the quality of animation its not surprising it took 2 years to make.

[@Suited_Nat]

@@sonicsnake44exactly my thoughts!!

[@Peacok648]

Sounds about right, indie animation takes an extremely long time. If I remember the Hazbin Hotel pilot also took about 2-3 years to make.

[@Timothyisntawesome]

I’m jealous of Pip because she finishes her drawings

[@logananimationstudios8560]

The art of murder is something you can relate too. We all watch films, show's, play games, read, create, and collect.

[@Actionfan19]

I hope this show keeps going. I've called it 'Only murders in the building' meets 'Who framed Roger Rabbit'.

[@arashiuchiha1591]

We need to get the OMITB fandom on this. They'll blow it up

[@thecursedqueen9185]

who frame Roger rabbit was a classic and it doesn't seem like taom is gonna be much like it (no offense to taom tho)

[@thecursedqueen9185]

it just doesn't give off who framed Roger rabbit vibes

[@Actionfan19]

@@thecursedqueen9185 Well I only have that as a comparative reference in the case of characters from different animated franchises coming together like in that movie.

[@chrism2516]

It's a crime the Art of Murder doesn't have more views. Definitely deserves tens of millions

[@picachu1290]

One million but not enough ;)

[@sonicsnake44]

Give it time and more videos about it.

[@DOMINICGOHKWANGMoe]

So true

[@AmandaLove-mu7us]

It's super underrated

[@valhatan3907]

Spankoffski voiced a dating-sim detective character is a new era for creative industry.

[@Jay-gurl]

Characters from different fandoms? Sounds like the premise of "Drawn Together"

[@aisadal2521]

I was really happy to see The Art of Murder, mainly because I don't think many people really try the "different animation crossover" idea as much as they should. The only ones I can think of that do that are Drawn Together (hated it beyond said crossover premise), and Learning with Pibby (which isn't greenlit, but is still awesome nonetheless). One thing I find interesting in these three medias is that there's at least 1 character that represents Disney (2 princesses, and 1 villain a la Cruella & Ursula, to be exact)

[@foxpokemonforever4775]

This pilot is seriously so charming! It’s not perfect, but I’m excited to see where this thing goes!

[@Tweetletree]

the fact that an influencer I know about voices the character Sousuke shows the level of success blows my mind 🤯

[@chrism2516]

0:32 Didn't realize there was a Spy x Family reference in the top-right (top shelf)

[@syabilaazri7834]

I remember when the first time i draw my OC. Eleven years old me still upset that my father dont allow me to watch tv for a week, my brain keep playing the same last week cartoon that myself thought "wait a minute, if my brain can play all cartoon on repeat, why i dont make my own cartoon story" and i start draw my first magical girl during tution night and keep on drawing, making new character and storyline and it took until high school that i made my own Avatar for the internet and got into community collage that teach animation and the rest is history

[@lucusjadryev4942]

This what I love about indie animation thay can tell the story without altering the story to fit some company.

[@skyenight-by8yh]

Literally just watched the pilot and they already have me *hooked!* 😅 Even if I can’t draw, I practically create original characters *weekly.* 😂

[@Kaimellostar]

CU, there's a highly underrated pilot I just saw, really good, it's called Consequences of the Unlucky, it only has 1 episode, but in the future when they have more episodes, I also think it's cool how it went from a fan comic to it's own original series.

[@Suited_Nat]

Honestly, it’s super well done! I can see the amount of effort and love put into the pilot alone, and I love it a lot honestly. Like as someone who aspires to go into either character concept design or animation as a whole, I always love analyzing art styles (and animation styles) of media I like or love.

[@D0JES]

I originally saw the title and thumbnail and was interested mostly because I love murder mystery. After watching it all the characters grew on me fast and found it's less of a murder mystery and more of a set story. Also r.i.p OC, I knew it was Disney, the killer.

[@shacharlem4424]

It's drawn together mixed with once upon a studio with a detective story.

[@soramembrino82]

I saw it as a combination of Clue and Toy Story.

[@SunGirl_100]

My theory is that Pip rip the page herself, because she just couldn’t draw OC right. Lots of artists do that to their sketches.

[@meriewanderer]

I love this show, I'm happy to see more and more people watching this pilot! I hope more people see it

[@hope_evergreen]

I just watched it and i love it ❤ I also love Mechwest and Miracoulous Office AU 😍

[@juanindojorgijanad782]

Choc Chip will be proud for an outstanding work in an indie animated musical pilot.

[@TheAllSeeingEye2468]

Who needs big companies when you can make your own cartoon or comic

[@m4z3n90]

I love that in addition to the already neat Toy Story inspired premise, they also gave it a really unique murder mystery of all things.

[@Itssmevika_official]

Finally a bigger KZbinr recognized this show❤❤❤

[@r-labs9357]

I can already tell this is probably going to be something like Draw Together if it wasn’t unhinged

[@lunakitty847]

The Promised Foreverland! I love it!

[@zarasaleem8423]

This cartoon is like a PG version of Drawn together.

[@magicalgirlnanaka666]

I’m hoping the real murderer of OC is pipp herself lowkey

[@syabilaazri7834]

That would be a sad story but understandble from our perspective.... sometime, when we make our first character, even we dont know if other people would like our original character.... sometime we draw and re-draw those character, hoping that it will improve but the thing about OC is that it sepose to repersent the drawer themself, not other people... an OC is what your prototype Avatar if you are a cartoon character and character can chance with time just like ourself is growing up with....

[@inbetween1-042]

Princess Time is probably the representation of Time Princess, an actual game that is part dress up, part story telling. She is also probably part Barbie due to all the dolls in different dresses and the shift of focus from love to business. The otome detective character is probably one of the many Sherlock Holmes' otome game incarnation such as Guard Me Sherlock! Or maybe even one of Hoyoverse's Tears of Themis's characters though that one is more focused on lawyers but that will definitely tie in with his rivalry against Ace Attorney. Explore Time is obviously Adventure Time but gender bent and no Jake the Dog. Sousuke is definitely Sasuke but without the manipulation and clearer goal. It is just the Princess and the Detective that are given a more mixed origin. And following fandom logic, the more complex the origin, the more care put into their creation, the more focus those characters will have.

[@phantomik3566]

I was too focused on what they have to say (eastereggs) and I didnt pay much atention to animation. Hence I was about to give up watching it (predictable plot), but after your video I really would like to rewatch it!

[@JoseTheLine-NewHope]

I'm kind of sad no one talks about how Giorgio is Sholmes from Ace Attorney

[@Blueninja-xt4ci]

I literally just discovered this show yesterday. Wow, what timing.

[@ANOnyme-tx2ts]

Actually, I think Giorgio is inspired of Satan from Obey Me! dating sim game. They are very look-alike and Satan in that game loves books, mainly about detectives and investigations (hence the detective side of Giorgio), and cats.

[@bahesb2419]

I am smelling a new indie hit coming and I love it.

[@opal7197]

TAOM is a master piece i wish i didnt find it so soon cuz if i didnt i could binge it all cuz its amazing

[@LoneHowler]

I suspect Giorgio understands Japanese but refuses to speak it to Soske, it will be interesting to see how he interacts with him in the next episode

[@herobrinelp4869]

And Giorgio is kinda the pretty detective version of Sherlock Holmes or what xD

[@ItsPunnk_]

Personally, I think Pip just ripped out and crumpled up oc’s page herself.

[@kcmoon2214]

You know it would be amusing if the culprit turned out to be everyone like in the book murder on the oriental express. 🤔

The characters not understanding the anime guy might become a relevant problem for the cast.

I like to think Giorgio can understand him since his game is implied to be Japanese, but thinks it's funny to pretend he doesn't understand Sosuke

[@TDI_CharlieBrown]

Best way I can describe this show... It's like the creator saw Drawn Together for the giant piece of crap it is and said 'I'm going to show everyone the correct way to do a show with different styles of animation crossing over'.

[@Tries_To_Draw]

I’d love to see what would happen if pip drew digital art of ship art or changed character’s appearance based on headcannons ect like they genderbent a character that would be funny

[@CartoonUniverse]

I think every night they come out the way they are drawn, not sure if it works on digital, but if she gender flipped or gave them a new outfit that day, that's how any character would pop out.

[@salliemagnaye1403]

2:49 Isn’t that also a Guardians of the Galaxy reference, and they also did a Spider-Man reference?

[@AnimatedEscapism]

3:12 I had no idea that you made your own pilot! Why do you not speak of it?!

[@CartoonUniverse]

We do here and there where relevant like in videos like this one. You can also see in the background of my office animation a poster for the Garnet Heart pilot, and even the character Salem appears as an animated character there now.

[@DarrionEckler]

As awesome as this series is... some of us don't like drawing the same character over and over again. Does she really draw the exact same characters over and over again? And does she really not draw any other characters? A bit odd for an artist, but the show is awesome either way.

[@Accel-uu2wz]

" Drawn Together " did this in the late 2000's having look alikes of a disney princess, a Hannah Barbera Detective, Warner Bros. DC superhero, a Looney Toon, a internet meme, a 50's Sex simple Betty Boop, a Japanese Pikachu look alike that, YES, understands english but speaks japanese only, and a Nintendo Video Game hero. This Cartoon is just a Kid friendly version while " Drawn Together " is very much for adults.

[@Axolotl_2347]

I didn’t like it, but I respect it. The animation and voice acting and overall premise is amazing, but constant use of pop culture references to the point of not even having a single unique or original character and the mention of funko pops and other junk comes off as annoying and consumerist. Overall I didn’t like but I respect it and hope it gets more episodes in the future.

[@thecursedqueen9185]

same here, everyone thinks the CONSTANT pop culture references is so cool but I found it annoying

[@bemiatto67]

Real. The references are fine if they did a joke like once or twice, but they kept hammering some jokes in like the whole 3D princess thing. I hope they cut down on them in future episodes. I think just the designs of the characters themselves are enough to show the reference
