The Whole Being Dead Thing | Beetlejuice the Musical Fan Animation

After two years of intermittent labor, here it finally is! Thank you so much to everyone who has been following the progress of this getting made and for supporting me as I took on a project that kind of exploded in scale past what I initially planned haha.
Firstly, thank you to everyone involved in making Beetlejuice the Musical! I love it so much and this thing only happened because the source material is just so good. Consider this a send-off for the musical since it'll be closing early next year. If you're able to, y'all should really grab some tickets and see the show live! They're also touring the show soon, so really there's no excuse!! Go watch this show. It's a joy and a labor of love.
Secondly, I feel it's necessary to provide a small disclaimer. This project started out as a storyboard and ended up landing somewhere in between boards and animation. For sake of those who don't know and maybe want to break into the animation industry, this level of polish, color, backgrounds, etc is ABSOLUTELY NOT what is expected or wanted from an actual professional storyboard. I put in the time and effort to give it this level of polish just for fun! And also because I know I'm not shipping it off to get animated. This is the final product and it's something I just wanted to do for the hell of it because I love boarding and I love this musical.
Now that that's out of the way, I just wanna give an extra thanks to Jeannette Arroyo and Amber Blade Jones for busting their asses to give this little project some of the most BEAUTIFUL backgrounds in the business. It elevated the level of this thing beyond anything I could've hoped for.
Thank you all again SO MUCH for watching! I hope you enjoy! =]

in the show the ensemble are mourners! so when he says "how you doin'?" to a lady it's to someone who's absolutely beside herself in grief which is why she's crying. it's always fun to listen to an album and have your own ideas on what the story is and then see how it's actually done live/on stage! another example of this is that another person on KZbin grew up listening to the Phantom of the Opera soundtrack and thought the phantom was an actual sorcerer who used music magic to entrance people and kill them. when they saw the show and realized he was just a horny guy they were disappointed lol

Dude 3:25-3:28 is a VERY underrated shot. That must’ve been a PAIN to animate but it looks so fucking dope

[@annadee1513]

THIS IS SO GOOD I COULD CRY

[@Lemonade-Tree]

OH MY GOD THEY DID A DIFFERENT “It you die while..” FOR THE ALBUM?

[@bmoore4016]

This is the best Beetlejuice animatic I've ever seen. It fits the vibe so perfectly, I feel like this would be used as an official animation. It's so chaotic and crazy in way that fits the song (heck the whole show) so well. Plus I love how Beetlejuice falls off a cliff in the end.

[@mikey_m114]

the energy conveyed in this is straightup making me go insane. this isn’t just a fanmade project - it’s a work of art! you’ve captured the likeness and personality of Beetlejuice so, SO well, and the perspectives and choreography are so superb! thank you for making such an amazing animation! :D

[@kjknightcraft1423]

Adam Sir Pentious Fizzarolli That’s all I hear anymore

[@katsu7141]

SAME-

[@aperson823]

I am absolutely blown away by your background art and ability to show dynamic movement with Beetlejuice’s trenchcoat. Your art and animation is gorgeous and shows incredible skill

[@verasmiles3913]

i loved the part from 3:33 to 4:00 because of how it's animated, his shoulders moving from side to side, the choir singing, his body becoming a snake and how when he is on the cliff the lightning waving from both sides and how he is so powerful he destroys part of the rock, making him fall. Overall a great animation

[@napustangwattanakarn4535]

Love the little details At 1:14 you can see him take a breath And every scene with someone playing any instrumentals is pretty accurate

[@OldGmod123]

Man fizzeroli got a new design

[@Zyone_zb]

Wild 💀

[@xxlunaxx3217]

this is just perfect animation for this song no doubt, best animation of beetlejuice I ever seen! you captured chaotic spirit of beetlejuice! well done! :DDD

[@fossiltheorystudios2689]

best part is 3:53 when the OG Beetlejuice theme riffs in during the finale

[@Outrider85]

I love that Adam is singing in the background during the credits for this like the show is continuing just out of sight in the house

[@erosetol]

Do you know where the audio of Beetlejuice falling down the hill is from?

[@personwithartistblock]

this proves we can have a good movie adaptation of the musical adaptation of beetlejuice (mean girls 2024 was good and no one can tell me otherwise)

[@stellanovaluna]

The voice reminds me of so much of Fizzarolli (I love it. This is so good)

[@SikerMinecraft]

That's because it's the same voice actor. (He also voices Adam and Sir Pentious in Hazbin)

[@stellanovaluna]

@@SikerMinecraft that’s awesome

[@Jackie-McCann]

3:25 OH MY GOD, THAT REFERENCE TO THE ANIMATED SERIES OPENING! 🤩

[@jayladddd]

this is actually so amazing. I can never listen to this song again without picturing this animation. I feel like this is the perfect media form for Beetlejuice; just the fluidity and freedom you could recreate the lyrics with. shows it. you have a fine mastery of animation my dear artist, and I commend your skill

[@hungrykratos]

lmao I've been rewatching this a bunch and just noticed the "Disgusting ratman sings at you GONE SEXUAL" xD 3:04 such good animation ty

[@starxx918]

1:27 THE LIGHTING ONG

[@greencomet2011]

1:06 Still my favorite part. The mood shift and the singing involved is so catchy.

[@cunningsmile4166]

3:25

[@5nightsatgengars830]

Lol 😆

[@TheGuyWhoAsked-zn8bw]

3:26

[@Ardomew]

Holy shit, this was phenomenal! Completely captures the spirit of the original song and then manages to elevate it further!

[@cunningsmile4166]

3:25

[@cameronlawson6848]

I'm not joking when I say that this Beetlejuice design is my favorite! He has a Deadpool-like sense of humor while still keeping the stuff that makes Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice. (That's three times now!)

[@vfutral7644]

This is my 4th time watching this and I just realized the little skeleton playing the xylophone at 1:13 😆

[@ARandomSpy]

1:13, when he takes that breath, the little glare he makes cracks me up! I love love love this!

[@lizz-shana]

I absolutely love the 3:42 bit, it's so unique and it fits his character so much! This whole animatic is a beautiful work of art 🖤🤍

[@sofiiautumn]

GIRL THIS NEED MORE SUPPORT IS SO MUCH GOOD, I FUCKING LOVE BEETLEJUICE

[@CorVids1031]

Hi hello I saw the musical for the first time yesterday along with this animation which I think I've watched 50 times at least. Today is Sunday and this animation you've made has inspired me to work on my passion projects all day in a manic creative frenzy before i go back to work tomorrow. The fact that someone hasn't signed you on for an animated version of the entire musical is astounding. Thanks for the fantastic work.

[@holygrandson]

время ожидания того стоило! я очень рад знать что такой великолепный художник остается в фандоме столько лет. не хватает слов. восхищает постановка, динамика, это настолько в характере персонажа! вы великолепный творец.

[@0Warpsmith]

Крайне мне зашёл дизайн Битлджуса. Такой "бомж", но при этом обладающий заразительной харизмой. Рванное пальто, щитина. Что то притягательное в этом образе.

[@irene-green]

@@0Warpsmith ага, на горшка похож

[@user-uc5mx9fy7q]

Впервые за долгое время вижу русский комментарий, и полностью с вами согласна! И с комментариями под этим комментарием я согласна.

[@abbray]

The whole thing was amazing but the muffled noise of Adam and Barbara while BJ second-dies actually cracked a proper laugh out of me which felt awesome 👌

[@spark_night27]

I imagined that adam and Barbara were singing this and then he just tumbled into their window when they died XD

[@Feathery-Latte]

I don’t even know which Beetlejuice by the 2 minute mark is the one at the start lol. So many clones. Fr amazing job!

[@chocolate.croissant5943]

I think that I watch this video basically daily. Great job!

[@reven8683]

I seriously applause of of this cause there's honestly not much animantics like these anymore since y'know "The Whole Fandom Being Dead Thing" but I'm glad you still got spark newer live Into this and hope we still piece more animatincs like these again and not let Fizzarolli stole the spotlight that once was Beeteljuice's!

[@kc_9970]

That's because he's voiced by Alex Brightman, is that not?

[@cadencebeaver7105]

1:21 makes me giggle and i don’t know why..

[@freshpetrichor]

his big googly eyes make me cry everytime

[@lag00naBlu3]

i’m about to make this my entire personality

[@Zaxlfang]

This is the single best animation that this song could possibly get

[@nairav9156]

2:29 need a full version like that, so smooth
