The Unused Moral Orel End Animations

Back in '07-'08, I was a Stop Motion Animation intern on the 3rd Season of the Adult Swim series Moral Orel. Dino Stamatopoulos, the shows creator, tasked me with creating Orels interpretive end credit animations for the season (essentially how he, a naive 12yo boy, saw the episode). He let me run wild with it up in his office. Here they are ^__^
Music: 'No Children' by The Mountain Goats
(Note: Yes, I I forgot that the one for 'Trigger' WAS used ^__^)

Orel's hand BEING god explains a lot of his view of the town. He's almost never actually doing something with his hand, and the few times he does, that's how he thinks god works.

Oh.. OHH OH MY GOD YOURE RIGHT wow everything just fell into place on the conspiracy board for me I can make my analysis video now!! Thank you!!!!!

[@askatuproductions]

1:49 Oh... it makes so much sense Clay doesn't look like a puppy anymore in Orel's eyes :(

[@definitelynotsiri4058]

Due to how blatantly grotesque and scary “Clay Puppyton” is depicted, I don’t think that representation was truly all that complimentary. Instead, I’d argue Clay was depicted as human here because at least as a kid like Orel might view the events of Help, Clay seemed like a decent guy back then.

[@wrawulvraulvetto7323]

@@definitelynotsiri4058 "decent" to some extend. I do agree he was depicted as a human in Help. But we see in Passing that he is already a narcissistic and a sociopath. I do curious what'll happen if he didn't drink alcohol that time..

[@michellesimmons2756]

Wasn't the wolf Clay?

[@ruler_of_dcw]

@@michellesimmons2756 that was the "puppy"

[@yuarentlucky]

@@definitelynotsiri4058 Orel was literally screaming for help in that stop motion animation, especially with the (very disturbing, imo) part of how Clay spanks Orel with a belt.

THE “DUMB” ONE MADE ME SO SAD ☹️

[@morganaignistube]

That might be my favorite of these. There was so much I wanted to get across in this crude little animation: the isolation, the way they both cope with loneliness, the feeling they have of missing each other without knowing it…im super happy with how it turned out

[@Moved3962]

@@morganaignistubeWell it looks amazing!

[@coolkid149]

this made me cry so hard bc this is a lot like how i would interpret the things around me as a child. I use to make flipnote animations on my ds ab my life that were extremely similar.

[@sandwichgod692]

This is so creepy, yet so cool to see. Also Orel wasn't around for some of these events, so how would he be able to animate them?

[@morganaignistube]

The idea behind it was that Orel watched the episode and interpreted it the way a naive child would. Kinda a 4th wall breaking like when Orel hosted the shows marathon on Adult Swim.

[@sandwichgod692]

@@morganaignistube Oh. Never imagined Orel breaking the fourth wall. That's pretty neat.

[@Chef_Ravioli87]

It may be the other characters of the show animating, as we see by the last clip of someone else's hand

[@Songbearer]

I'm learning animation and I love Moral Orel, so getting to see more of these is a real treat. By necessity the animation has to be simple - it's a stop motion kid animating in stop motion - but there's a ton of personality packed into each frame and I particularly love the detail of the bullets from the gun in Trigger being attached by wires. Great work and very inspirational!

[@morganaignistube]

Thank you so much!

[@kerlsey7584]

the trigger one made me audibly gasp when i realized it was referencing the nature episodes

[@abush1693]

this is so amazing! moral orel was a huge part of my childhood and really captured my shifting relationship with religion so well. very glad to see these recorded somewhere and grateful to you for sharing

[@no1legobatmanfan]

The one for “Dumb” was actually so cute….

[@theexecutorz5413]

I'm happy that we even got to see these. It's good for a lot of theorizing about the show and what it would've become

[@katie2275]

The first one of his mom being saved is kind of heartbreaking

[@mayateeemm5728]

does this mean clay is the one who decided to order more drinks at the wedding party? or is that just what orel assumes based on what he knows about his dad already?

[@mayateeemm5728]

also these are really good! i love em

[@definitelynotsiri4058]

Probably, given that Clay seemed far more drunk than Bloberta in the scene where they and later he is dancing

[@Mrreebo]

In the episode he takes drinks from a server that's walking by. I think it was just a representation of that

[@murakyo79]

It's just what Orel assumes.

[@SnufflySpy]

The lore is that bloberta pressured him into becoming an alcoholic

[@TheLawliet10]

Just binged the series, and I wish Dino and AS used these end animations. They'd honestly set Season 3 apart even more than it already was. Amazing job!

[@slimelord9557]

God these fucking rule, shame most of them weren't used in the actual endings. Season 3 still stands out as what made me genuinely fall in love with Moral Orel and seeings its events depicted through Orel's eyes is just really fun. Part of me noticed that Passing was one of the few episodes not represented here and I thought like "huh I wonder what Orel's claymation interpretation of Clay killing his mom would be" before realizing that I'd really rather not see Orel's take on that episode, actually!

[@Trapezoidiqal_Q]

I really like these! The mini clay versions of the characters are cute!

[@son-of-1810]

These are cool to see, I didn’t know they were even a thing. If only Morel Oral had gotten the amount of episodes it needed to finish properly

[@beebino3920]

Amazing work!! You really captured Orel’s view on the world around him!!

[@tahraethestoryteller6079]

1:49-1:57 I actually wished they kept it Since it show Bloberta never forced Clay to drink

[@definitelynotsiri4058]

As much as I agree that Bloberta didn’t force Clay to drink this is a depiction of Orel’s would-be reaction. Not only is there basically no way he could’ve known about the premise under which his parents were married letalone this particular scene, but even if this were somehow absolutely canon it’s Orel’s unreliable interpretation.

[@AizakkuAnalysis]

Wow, what a random video to be recommended. So cool to see though. It reminds me of when that lost episode came out.

[@morganaignistube]

I was also an animator/designer/producer on the ‘Abstinence’ lost episode ^___^

[@Blackburn-Arts]

Wow this was amazing

[@definitelynotsiri4058]

The Trigger one actually was used.
