Wander Over Yonder "Life's A Happy Song" Animatic

My musical midterm assignment for Jay Oliva's Intermediate Storyboarding workshop. We had to pick a set of cartoon characters and a musical number. Hater and Peepers rule!
DISCLAIMER: This is purely a fan work made for fun and as a homework assignment. It is not intended for profit. I do not own Wander Over Yonder, The Muppets, or their respective songs and characters. They belong to Disney. Please support the original release. ESPECIALLY FOR WOY BECAUSE THAT SHOW IS RIDICULOUSLY UNDERATED.

[@howdy7455]

« It makes you feel like you’re three foot tall » this fits perfectly when you know Peepers is actually smaller than the other watchdogs, and that’s why he wears a bigger helmet and heels.

[@thepeanutbuttercookieninja]

Hehe, nice catch! That was my goal :D

[@PokemonTrainerAriel]

Three feet tall would be an upgrade for him.

[@ChaosBeast829]

I never actually noticed that Peepers is actually shorter than the others. That’s a wonderful detail! I love him, no need to be embarrassed about your height Commander Peepers!!

[@martaswatek4157]

Oh... I haven't noticed it... I thought this suits him, because he's smaller than Hater. This is a really nice fact!❤

[@jackhummer8344]

I miss Wander Over Yonder... Also, I literally can't stop watching this.

[@thepeanutbuttercookieninja]

Jack Hummer Thanks! I'm so glad you enjoy it!

[@elliott4844]

I’m abusing the replay button lol

[@godoftomatos881]

A tear shed for those lost AKA that one robot...that was sad

[@mega6662]

[@Jayalaw]

Oh this is perfect. The Watchdogs are in character and gorgeous.

[@radiocoffee7700]

I kinda wish this was the final scene of the series. like everything that happened happened, then they just cut to this.

[@thepeanutbuttercookieninja]

Haha, that would have been quite the honor XD. Thanks!

[@Vexillographer]

Man, that's a clever song choice and brilliant casting. Already enjoyed it for that, but the animation flows really well too. I can definitely see the hard work put into this and wow it paid off. Awesome 10/10 :D

[@thepeanutbuttercookieninja]

Vexillographer Thanks so much!

[@Seadance100]

@Anakin Leamon I originally planned to have a scene with her, but because this was a school assignment with a set due date, I had to cut that scene so I could finish and turn it in on time.

[@elliott4844]

I’m not surprised tho

[@mickeysanimatics1996]

this could have been an awesome episode or bonus short!! ;)

[@calamaria9624]

You Just made my day with this. THIS IS AMAZING!

[@calamaria9624]

2021 now. Really needed this song through 2020. Also may I just say that peepers and the watchdogs anatomy were on point from expression to pose. Also Hater was a rockstar. Heights seemed perfect and acurate weight looked present. And the imagination and choreography that were put into this definitley deserve applause. Everything seemed in character and just like wander over yander. Well done.

[@thepeanutbuttercookieninja]

Aw, thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed this. It’s pretty old now, and there are certain things I could do better these days, but it’s still one of my favorite things I’ve ever made. I’m happy to hear it helped you through 2020 in some small way 💖

[@calamaria9624]

@@thepeanutbuttercookieninja Im glad! you definitley deserve every word of praise that you recive for this! Also if you ever wanted to you could always decide to do it again of course I know thats alot of work. But I do know as a fellow...uhhh...artist kinda? I do know its nice to redo/redraw things that you've done and are proud of. I've always loved seeing the clear difference in quality,skill,and creativity from the original I created. But of course thats not for everyone 😁 but nonetheless you are incredibly talented and clearly have a good personality and character!

[@thepeanutbuttercookieninja]

That’s a good point! I could be fun to try it again, or even just clean it up a bit, since I still have the files. It would be a little tough to find the time these days though, now that I’m out of school and have a job 😅 I’ll ponder that. Thanks for being so nice!

[@NightEyeStudio1995]

Tgis is amazing! and the timing is spot on! You've really got a nack for animatic-ing?...it's still great!

[@thepeanutbuttercookieninja]

Frigg Fluff Thanks! I appreciate it. And yeah, an animatic is basically a storyboard put together in video format, but to some extent I kind of went overboard on this assignment and full on animated it 😂...

[@NightEyeStudio1995]

well it certainly paid off. a lot better then what i've done so far, but you're more well-versed in this so it makes sense :)

[@NightEyeStudio1995]

But those inbetweens are amazing and they make it flow so much more. But yeah, I know the feeling, it can be killing to be an artist sometimes. Also thank you so much :D i really needed to hear that today ;w;

[@thepeanutbuttercookieninja]

Well thanks, I appreciate it. I guess it's just I'm hoping to storyboard as a career and I know that in the industry they don't look for this heavy pose outs. *le shrug* And of course! I'll always pay compliments where they're due. If you release something new, let me know! I'd love to see it.

[@NightEyeStudio1995]

I'm in the middle of working on something...it's should have been simple but I've been lazy so it's taken longer then what I originally planned. Still, I hope to have it close to finished by the end of the month....I hope. And hey, I wanna be a storyboarder too, and if not, a character designer. I'll have to be freeæance as I lack the skills to make it into any form of animation school

[@meraki0w0]

this deserves way more views

[@thepeanutbuttercookieninja]

Aw, thank you! If only WOY were as popular as it deserves to be.

[@meraki0w0]

I know right? I wish i could do more do help woy

Hey I usually don't really comment on KZbin anymore but this is so good?? Dude??? Wow. I mean, this is the only KZbin video I've seen with that many likes and views and absolutely no dislikes. Really really good job, man. Seriously, I hope you're incredibly proud.

[@thepeanutbuttercookieninja]

Thanks so much! This means a lot, especially since I'm trying to make a career out of this.

[@aworkinprogress8306]

No problem! You're very talented, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if you reached your goal! Good luck!

Seeing this made me very happy

I never have watched this show (nor do I plan to) but as an artist I applaud this!!!!!! Great job!

[@thepeanutbuttercookieninja]

Thanks so much! And lol, I definitely understand how WOY could look rather childish from the outside looking in, but it really grows on you and might be worth giving a shot. Regardless, I’m happy you enjoyed the video ☺️👍

@@thepeanutbuttercookieninja I really liked all the characters but the ones I loved the most were Wander, Commander Peepers, Hater, the watchdogs, and Dominator.

[@wingedfanatic2786]

Me too!!! It makes it worst that he had a season 3 planned out and everything, with background stories and everything :( And what did you use to animate this???? I can't find any good free programs

[@thepeanutbuttercookieninja]

Brinnlee Lambert Yeah, that's super frustrating. I wish it had gone through. Ah, I used Storyboard Pro for this. It's actually pretty expensive, but I go to school for animation so I used my school's version. In terms of good cheap programs, check out Clip Studio Paint. It's usually on sale and it doubles as an art and animation program.

[@wingedfanatic2786]

Thank you!!! I plan on making some animations for this wonderful fandom and hopefully that'll work :) Hope all is well in school!
