THE TOYBOX | Poppy Playtime Song! Prod. by oo oxygen

[@TheStupendium]

BEHIND THE SCENES: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKucZICtqLJ6hpY LYRICS: INTRO: You are about to see the most incredible doll ever invented Her name is Poppy and she is the first truly intelligent doll in the world... VERSE 1: Come take a tour behind the doors where dreams are made Where boys and girls around the world can come to play Where you’ll see entertainment innovation on display Though you can’t escape the fun, imagination runs away There’s no better place to spend All your days and play pretend No, you won’t be on your own ‘Cause you can always make a friend So, on us you can depend That the fun will never end ‘Cause we’re much too plush to break But just maybe we could bend Then the lights went down And the doors stayed closed And the toys soon found They were on their own So as silence fell On their factory home Well, they climbed from shelves And began to roam Now, you may think we’re just playthings Sitting wasting and decaying, We’ve been waiting every day since You made graves out of our casings We were made for entertaining So forgive us for complaining All you left for us to do Was spool through Tapes of safety training Trapped in the factory, what a calamity Banished to languish in cramped bits of packaging Plastic all cracked and fragmented and rattling Tangled and matted and batteries flattening Warranty voided and sanity vanishing Stitches have split and our minds are unravelling Left us abandoned but now you’ve come back and We’ve banked up the hugs So come get some love CHORUS: Out of the toybox Now we’re crawling out the toybox Now we’re crawling out the toybox Now we’re crawling out the toybox A little girl can talk to her, poppy gives her answers. She is the first doll actually able to have a conversation with a child Hard to believe? Just watch. VERSE 2 : ‘Cause we’re destined to be best friends You and I from the second you stepped in You give me butterflies in my tummy As my hugs mulch your intestines Give a high five to the big guy And a big hand to yourself Now your arms are long enough To slap boxes off the shelf But if you think that gloves and string Are really going to help We’re wondering what other limbs Can be detached as well Don’t think that toys have got things to say then? Look at these points of articulation Pull on my string, have a conversation Oh, so you think we’re abominations?! Look who made us, then betrayed us Left to must and dust for ages Rusting, stuck in cardboard cages Memories fade as rage replaces What we were, our former names We aren’t quite sure from where we came But someone must have worked here once And now they’re gone and we remain! BRIDGE: All we know is how to play Play, play, play, play Then you took the play away Way, way, way, way Three and up is what they say Say, say, say, say Now we’re into playing Way more dangerous games Wind it up, watch it spin All the lies come round again Close your eyes, count to ten You can’t hide from your friends And, if you've ever wanted to see how all of the nation's favorite toys were created Playtime Co. is now offering factory tours at just $2.99 a person What time is it? It’s playtime! CHORUS: Now we’re crawling out the toybox Now we’re crawling out the toybox Now we’re crawling out the toybox Now we’re crawling out the toybox VERSE 3: So take a tour where all the dreams have gone to die Where just some double-As can make your nightmares come to life Where imagination paved the way to suffering and strife It’s a play date with destiny we’ve yet to see survived! Take those tin toys from the attic Bring those dolls down from the loft Take your old friend out and ask if They resent their resting spot They may just be some plastic They may look stuffed and soft They’ll still put you in a casket But you won’t be mint in box! CHORUS: Now we’re crawling out the toybox Now we’re crawling out the toybox Now we’re crawling out the toybox Now we’re crawling out the toybox Crawling out the toybox Now we’re crawling out the toybox Now we’re crawling out the toybox Now we’re crawling out the toybox Ready or not, we’ll find you Huggy's long huggable arms may present a choking hazard... Ready or not, we’ll find you

The Sing-along Stupendium coming apart, the head sitting separately, the "points of articulation", all of it is such a flex of animation expertise

[@eyalm867]

I don't think it's animated. I think they recorded their head rotating slowly then sped it up and edited it onto their head in the video, same as the hands. P.S. there is a video breakdown on their second channel that shows the storyboard, the raw footage, and the final video. I'd link it but it doesn't seem like KZbin likes links in comments. Edit: I have a public playlist on my channel called 'The Toybox'. You'll find the song, the video breakdown, and the behind the scenes video in it.

The best and worst thing about your songs for games as a whole, as opposed to individual characters, is that you've got this insane knack for hitting the exact spirit of the game in a way even the actual games themselves often struggle to meet moment to moment.

[@MrMoron-qn5rx]

thats the neat part of music. take jt-music's rap about lawbreakers. the game died fast, and was riddled with bugs. however the rap was great. and stupendium is even better at it, cause he makes a rap about the world around the game instead of about the character, allowing for more freedom usually. and with how much care stupes puts into production and music its very possible he might one day be asked by a film studio to make music for the movie, like teamheadkick got with their deadpool rap that got modified and put into the movie. plus he has shown he can do a lot of different styles of rap, so its just a matter of time.

Stu's musical toy soldier should totally be the basis for a potential main antagonist in Poppy Playtime. His character would drowsily bemoan the state of the factory and the toys only to sing merrily about all the horrible ways they will kill the player character once he gets caught. Heck, the devs should even ask him to do the voice acting and singing if they want to make that chapter truly memorable.

[@Mangaka718]

alternative idea: Stupendium's marching band should have its own spinoff game entirely. Still voiced by the one and only Stupendium, naturally. just imagine not only hearing toy marchers sing about how they'll dismember you, but in order to escape/hide you'd have to play along to their song? and as the game progresses, you encounter more of them at once with different instruments that have to be handled in different ways simultaneously! i dont even play horror games but id watch the shit out of a game like that XD

[@TRTMN-vs3ew]

​@@Mangaka718 That could work too. I especially like the idea of a whole Marching Band instead of just one.

[@gagekelley5047]

if he does get his character in poppy playtime, i have a few suggestions. one, the name. we'll say "sing along stupendium" as its on the boxes in the video if you look hard enough. it fits well with the name scheme of the other toys on my opinion. second, what if his motive was initially to play music with the player, but the player messes up so the insane Stupendium, tries to "improve" the player by forcing him to play instruments throughout the chapter, before finally becoming impatient and ordering his men to tear him apart for his "disrespect for musical talent". We find out he's Exp. 1164, and his behavior before his mental breakdown was very cheery and loved to play music for the children, and was the first one to be lowered in musical memory before his popularity dropped and he was replaced with bunzo bunny. this infuriated him, and started his obsession with popularity, wanting a show. when one of his men went down(the player sees him fall off a ledge into one of the holes made by the building's collapse. Its a really bloody scene) Stupendium decides to make the player a replacement instead of the audience, forcing him to play for an audience of cardboard cut outs of the characters revealed before and maybe some new ones. during the performance, two men, at two different times, messed up and angered Stupedium, and after you mess up a few times, he loses it and goes on a rampage, tearing the first two apart with his bear hands and ordering his men to retrieve you after you escape in a vent they can't reach. his men pull out dangerous, weaponized versions of normal instruments and you have to play the one one the ground nearby without messing up to calm them, since music makes them a slave to Stupendium. Messing up will make them hostile again. The instrument Stupendium has controls them, so can also make them stop for a while. It's how he controls them. at one point, poppy realizes it and she makes a point out of it. Using the instrument you have, you're able to make his men tear him apart in a gruesome death scene, similar to how you kill huggy and mommy. how does that sound? also ik Stupendium wouldnt mind a bad guy role as he says it at the end of his evil genius song.

[@Mangaka718]

@@gagekelley5047 tbh im all for the having to play instruments part, because im a fan of games where music/rhythm is a main mechanic, but i think it'd be weirder/more memorable if there was some way the toys mangled their victims WITH the instruments. like idk about you but i have DEFINITELY thought a sousaphone could kill me back in my marching band days lol :P but yea alliterative name for sure. plot arc is interesting, the change of mindset from "I want to put on a show" to "I need to put on the BEST show" kinda reminds me of that painter from Bioshock? it's a good story ngl, that's why that part of bioshock is memorable lol gd i feel like im being pretentious im sorry if thats how i come across, thats not my intention >_< im an artist and this is the only way i know how to respond to creative ideasss

[@gagekelley5047]

@@Mangaka718 nice to see people already like my idea. I think that would be cool too actually. Never though about the instruments being dangerous. How about this. The instruments are also alive, and have faces, and stuff. And Stupendium's men let the instruments tear you apart while they hold either you or the instruments. And here's something to add to the story. Before musical memory was a thing, Stupendium was going to be on a stage but musical memory and the other games became more of a perfered option so the stage was built, but never used or torn down. It was originally meant to be a circular stange where he would and his men would march in a circle and play music the whole time, with a 15 minute break between 45 minute performances. The stairs would lead up into the area from the center of the adiences, and you have to march while you play in the band, stopping to rest would give you 1 mistake. Once you get three, you get jump scared. You have to last at least 3 minutes. Once it's done, you take a break and he starts telling you you're doing marvelous. But the instrument breaks after you start again and gets mad, giving you an out of tune instrument. After a little bit he gets super pissed. His men also break their own instruments, and Stupendium goes crazy. Back to the story. After being replaced, he was going to be sent to the "island of misfit toys" mentioned in the light blue tape in chapter 2, where you you have to move Bron with the claw. He escaped(the people, not the island. He never got to the island.) and found out he was originally going to be on a stage. So he practiced every day since whatever happened to be perfect and put on his best possible performance when someone finally comes. And of course his men and you mess it up.

"I started work on this before [relevant controversy/issue] came to light but couldn't afford to throw away all that work" WHY CANT MORE CREATORS DO THIS?! THANK YOU! There are so many times where I see people release songs or other kinds of projects where it's VERY clear that there was a level of investment that can't just be thrown away when you're a content creator struggling to ride that line of financial volatility and audience retention, but so many just choose to ignore the tire fire around them (which both ignore the problem AND to a certain extent condones any problematic activity related) when I can say with certainty a single sentence worth of a disclaimer would mean world of a difference to more than just myself. So again, thank you for that. That said? I was never into Poppy to begin with, and this is still one of your most engrossing music videos to date. Much like the Room for Improvement and Tune Into the Madness, my other two favorites of your live action videos, the story is entirely self contained even if clearly inspired by something and it makes FULL use of every moment of screentime.

You truly never fail to impress, Stupes. A bop as usual, and the effort that went into all the little details in this video can only be guessed, but it makes sense why this took so long to make. The character you came up with to play for this one is also particularly cool with just the right amount of creepiness (Really liked the severed head bit, to name just one thing). I also really appreciate the disclaimer in the description - totally understandable why you wouldn't want to abandon something this far into it and it was worth it if I do say so myself! Also it's not like the developers of Poppy Playtime are earning any money from you making this song, just maybe getting some attention, which is an acceptable sacrifice in my opinion. I feel like this is one of these times where you can and should be able to separate the creation from the creator. Overall this definitely made for a very cool and well-rounded project, keep it up!

[@jackmcfarland3738]

My god, I love this. The lyrics, the instrumental, the CGI, and the set design. It's absolutely amazing. I love how much effort was put into this.

editing genuinely better than most "professional" music artists, actually tells a story and has asthetic instead of just a guy flying around at night as he sings

Ive been subconciously putting this song off, but my lord this song is such a banger. The 'wind it up watch it spin' part is absolutely HEAVENLY

2:37 Ok so this whole segment is INSANELY amazing, the fluid motion and seamless twisting of your hands and head while singing is awe inspiring BUT I JUST noticed that you paid attention to your reflection on the clear casing on the far left of the screen, and EDITED IT AS WELL to the correct angle too that is **amazing** details Stupes!! PLUS that killer look (pun intended) that looks like a flawless blend of makeup and a sprinkle of CG!! You raise your bar each time you upload and I must insist that you know how amazing you are! I'm definitely going to comment again and ramble about how detailed the set is but I just wanted to let you know I love this so much!! Rock on and drink some water!
