THE ACCENT FOR CROOKEDSTAR ITS SO PERFECT

[@raineclipse1542]

Holy shi frr it's so delightful

[@TheRibottoStudios]

Holy GOD the way Darkstripe's VA says "Traitors and kittypets. Is there no decent cat left in this clan?" is iconic. It's just dripping with disdain.

[@LillianRodriguez-lh2zf]

For real, considering he’s a traitor himself

[@wolftail2558]

He was kind of right about the decent part, Thunderclan is a hot mess these days lol Darkstripe is such an iconic character I love to hate him.

Yeah!

[@EscapeReality123]

For an indie fan-made project, this already looks way more professional than some high-budget shows! Absolutely stunning

[@LillianRodriguez-lh2zf]

With these amazing character designs, I don’t doubt that!

[@imjustbeingrandom]

The only problem i have is that i fear it might be in trouble like the Little Dragon Studios if they base it off directly from the story or thing 😞

[@humanbeeing4780]

No it doesn’t. They’ve spent the past 2.5 years taking people’s Patreon money and all they have to show for it is a few busts and a few voices? Ridiculous.

[@EscapeReality123]

@@humanbeeing4780 You have NO IDEA then how long it takes to make an animation. Not to mention character design, backgrounds, music, script, storyboards, animatics, montage. Two years is nothing

@@humanbeeing4780 well, well, well, if it isn’t you again! I got in a fight with you over someone’s wof animation in my early days of KZbin. This guy just loves roasting well-made animation projects. I’d like to see him try to do better than this, bet he can’t even draw a circle

[@ceciliareid477]

I've got to say Frostfur's voice actress takes the cake! Absolutely perfect.

[@MurderDronesFan420]

Nightpelts cough is so realistic ,Barleys accent is perfect and Frostfurs is great

[@DuneEditzWCUE]

I love Crookedstar with the Scottish/Irish tone! And a British voice really fits frostfur. And I love barley’s voice! Very good job to those out there who got into the results!

[@Frostfern94]

They're all British? Do you mean English accent? She sounds like she's from Central London specifically. Upper class.

[@DuneEditzWCUE]

@@Frostfern94 yeah, I know they are mostly British, but crookedstar sounds Scottish which isn’t exactly British, but it is English words of course. But like brokenstar and darkstripe, they sound Scottish mixed with American to me.

[@McNaBir]

​@@DuneEditzWCUE scotland is part of Britain, making it British. If you want to differentiate between Scottish/Welsh/English, you can't really use British because they're all British.

[@DuneEditzWCUE]

@@McNaBir oh. I never knew that. Thanks for telling me! I just use the term British because I’m thinking of the posh tone.

[@Lynxstar_980]

The posh tone us generally posh Cockney there are many accents in just England alone tbh try to compare Yorkshire to the queen's accent you'll see that

[@xtendernessx2980]

You can't even imagine how proud the whole fandom is of you! In fact, many people think that this is a small studio. BUT IT BRINGS WHAT FRUITS! We're all waiting, we can't wait for the release of the real episodes. I hope we can help you somehow).

[@Odietamo4159]

Loving all these new voices! So hyped for WCA’s future ❤ (As a side note, I know the fandom’s not exactly known for being… smart, but I’m always blown away by the amount of people who think this project has been cancelled, when y’all are LITERALLY POSTING CASTING CALLS and are super active on your social media accounts 😂)

[@SafiraCoyfolf]

Part of the reason people think WCA was cancelled is 'cause making adaptations of the books can get you in trouble by the legal team that owns he rights to 'Warriors'. They went after Little Dragon Studios and made them discontinue any further adaptations of the books that LDS had plans for, but let them keep up what they had.

[@Odietamo4159]

@@SafiraCoyfolf *Logically,* if WCA was “cancelled,” they wouldn’t be posting casting calls, hosting animation livestreams on this channel, and making frequent updates to their social media pages. The fact that LDS was given a cease and desist is irrelevant to the obvious, well-documented fact that WCAnimated is clearly still going. Also, in the event that WCA *was* hypothetically cancelled, do people really think that the team behind it would just… ~disappear~ without informing their audience about what happened? Like, do they seriously believe that?

[@dreamynight-mq3qh]

@@Odietamo4159 A lot of warriors fans are kids, so it kinda makes sense that they don’t know how to put two and two together well. Also people these days have short attention spans and don’t read things through fully; I think that’s why there are comments here asking if they can audition/try out for these roles, even though this video is literally the casting results for them lol. Tbh I was also in the “is WCA cancelled?” camp until I read your comment… good points all around!

[@randomnuzishipper]

YOOOOO I LOVE DARKSTRIPES VOICE SMM!! It reminds me of like scar from the lion king!! Whoever voiced him, you did great!!

[@asizaart7457]

OH MY GOSH THE NIGHTPELT VOICE IS PERFECT I LOVE IT SM GREGORY PEYTON IS SUCH A GOOD CHOICE FOR HIM!!!

[@Ebonyfire]

Some of these I imagined a little differently but they are all nice nonetheless! Comforting to see the work progressing further. I love Nightpelt addressing Clawface btw as a recognition of their connection as brothers. Expect this series to have characters remembering their families past mates and children.

[@troublesomestrumpet9642]

Absolutely!! Hope they’ll address Greystripe + Darkstripe’s sibling relationship too 👀

[@Ru_bee]

I’ve fallen out of my Warriors phase but I’m still sticking around for this masterpiece! ❤

I love !!! I'm so exited for Cinderpelt's voice !!!❤🎉

[@rainy-wcue]

I LOVE NIGHTPELTS VOICE, and it sounds to me like Crookedstar has a subtle scottish accent. This is incredible. I'm also looking forward to Leopardfur's voice if shes included in this eventually.

[@twigbranch4556]

This should be the official WC show. what your doing is incredible the VA are so talented the art style is beautiful and If WCoffical go through with trying to make an actual show it would be so much better if they just helped fund this. 😤

[@connorbushoven1279]

Congratulations to all the new cast members! I'm sure it was no easy process to get through all those auditions; can't wait to record with everyone!

[@Iwannatofeelball]

Заявляю от всей русскоязычной аудитории: мы все очень рады что такой прекрасный проект до сих пор разрабатывается, улучшается и прогрессирует! От себя хочу сказать что голос для Частокола просто чудесен, от него так и веет, этакой, злодейской аурой неудачника, который бегает за более сильными и способными персонами! Так же хочу отметить голос Белоснежки и Метеора, отличные голоса! Ночная Звезда, ах, актер просто блестяще отыграл свою роль! И так же голос Ячменя и Звездолома, у первого более звонкий голос, он такой... Домашний что ли? Деревенский? У Звездолома он слегка хрипловатый, старческий, но при до крайности не доходит. Проще говоря - кастинг просто потрясающий!

[@zLolofaan]

Полностью согласна с вашими словами! :D

[@Iridescent.Periwinkle-wcue]

I Dont know russian, but When you translate the sentence it says “stockade” instead of the cat’s name and I just lose it 😭😭

[@Iwannatofeelball]

@@Iridescent.Periwinkle-wcue Yes :D Our book translators thought that the name "Stockade" was a more appropriate name for the Darkstripe than his original name, besides, in our Russian language, does it sound more consonant and more beautiful?

[@Iridescent.Periwinkle-wcue]

@@Iwannatofeelball Thats quite interesting and a nice Little detail! Turkish translations called Ravenpaw Ravenclaw the first 3 books 😭

[@Inky_101]

Frostfur sounds like a bloodborne or elden ring character , that’s the highest praise I can give a person

[@LampP0st]

These are all such talented VAs!!! Every one fits perfectly!

[@calmdownlov371]

Oh my gosh!!!! They are so, so PERFECT! I especially love the bratty royal elegance left behind when Darkstripe speaks. It's so neat! This is gonna be awesome!!

And Nightpelt sounds so noble and wise, that's perfect! And Crookedstar has an accent to him while also feeling friendly and strong

[@xccrazy91]

I work at Joan’s on Third in Studio City, CA. Last week I was on my way to taking my 10 and had my Warriors book “SkyClan’s Destiny” on the counter by my register. A woman walks up to my register and I decide to take her order before heading out on my break. She notices my book and inquires about it. At first I thought she was just commenting on my obvious reading habit so I say “yeah I read a lot” but she said “no what do you think of that” indicating the title of my book. I go, “oh, Warriors? Yeah I love Warriors. I’ve read it since the series came out when I was 12”. The woman proceeds to ask me “would you watch something about that” My response “I totally would. It’s basically a cat anime. I’m surprised someone hasn’t made something about it already” The woman “it’s in the works” My dorky ass “REALLY?! That’s so cool” proceeds to shake fists like an excited 2 year old

Brokenstar's is far from what I picture in my head, but I love it! Frostfur, however, did just come out of my mind.

[@Night_Hover]

I like that you made Barley look like a young guy, it will make his relationship with Ravenpaw seem more natural, because when we meet him we'll say he's a little old and Ravenpaw hasn't even finished his training.

[@torra9979]

Oh my GOD these voices are all so accurate! I love them all! My personal favourite has to be Brokenstar!
