Wenches and Mead 2021 | Animated Music Video

[@scezumin]

so i'm 40 minutes into this 3-minute animation...

[@CrownePrince]

Haha. Yeah, animating the same bit over and over mostly shows how many hours you're willing to pour into it that year. At some point quality has more to do with whether you're paid to spend 5 hours on a piece of art versus if you're paid to spend 50 hours on it.

[@CaptainHoers]

MOOD

[@Doughboy123x]

Full version?! I had only dreamed something like this being made!

[@Troyjr2423]

This NEVER gets old!

[@kyrathorsinclaire]

I agree

[@Wissle]

10 years ago huh? Isn't it insane and scary how time flies? Ah a shame to see this tradition end, but it had a nice run. Glad you gave it one last go, it turned out seriously awesome! Also happy belated birthday, hope it was a good one.

[@nairocamilo]

"That has got to be the best pirate I've ever seen."

[@enderpup9289]

1:10 what we all came for

[@luan5987]

1:58 It took me a while to realize what he's saying there, and I love it lol

[@princewhateverer]

Ahh sad to hear you're retiring these but this was especially AWESOME! Great job ;w;

[@d3rp-a-l0t77]

Didn't know what to write at the time except for "epic vid lol", nowadays all i can say is "HOLY SHT"

[@Scyrina]

Absolutely stunning!!

[@woutmees]

HOLY SHIT HE JUST STRAIGHT UP DID THE WHOLE SONG WHAT A POWER MOVE!!

[@aliceinmansonland448]

Pirate Metal and Ponies!!! You really know how to make my day!

[@ECRAM]

Happy 30th birthday! Its really too bad this may be the last one, since I enjoyed them each time but I hope you can find a new thing for us to drool over :) Have a wonderful rest of the year and years to come!

[@magic_pink_horse]

HELL YES!!! This is astoundingly impressive, dude!

[@modus_ponens]

Few examples: 0:15, 2:23 Flying ships can have sails on both top and the bottom 0:21 Dickbutt 0:22 Construction worker got rescued 0:27 Dragon filling butane tanks XD 0:42 Throwing knives at dartboard seen at 1:45 0:50, 0:51 They have different tolerances before getting wasted on the floor 0:52 She later returned with the wanted poster and the law enforcement at 1:28 1:00, 1:04, 1:09 Inspired by the tip, she bought guitar and drums, and stretches the limits of multitasking 1:02 While the Atom is drinking, the rest of crew is performing a robbery 1:21 The new acquaintance he met is reconsidering her choises to stick with him at 1:45 and 1:52 1:29 Drinking directly from the barrel 1:39, 2:02 Teleporting like a boss 2:06 He's blowing the wall of at 2:11 2:09 Is this the treasure they are after? Champagne? 2:13 Neat tattoo of a sea creature 2:31 The captain does not give a shit Also: 0:42-0:51 The most fricking awesome appearing imaginable to the tavern 2:04 Loved the art (and comedy) in this scene

[@NecrosTheDark]

Why do I hear a sudden delighted "Continuity" scream in the background because of "0:42 Throwing knives at dartboard seen at 1:45" ^^

[@Dusked_]

Я ведь в самом деле думал, что всë.Рад, что ты вернулся.Буду ждать следующий.

[@Ibrainwashedyou]

Obligatory first >:V its amazing Cap

[@RusticShine]

THIS IS THE BEST YET!

[@markwoodruffe7185]

YES

[@eykan_ow]

This is the most amazing thing I've laid my eyes upon

[@DJCosmicLatte]

Happy birthday, and congrats on outgrowing your own benchmark! Couldn't think of a better way to send it off 💖

[@dessilk]

More of this is what I need

[@lt_darkseekerantique3911]

Happy birthday horse(or goat)! And congrats on surviving the past two years!

[@Fran-sl2ly]

Indeed. Cat. Also sad to see that this is the last version, but it was majestic to behold. Happy thirtieth!

[@DaCouchWarrior]

I love that. Animations are so smooth.

[@Cutekitty858]

AWESOME!!!!

[@petrbroz7145]

Oh my god, this is beyond awesome. Great job!!

[@Kain59242]

Sweet!

[@TheCommenterDragon]

A perfectly marvelous and superb animation/music vid CaptainHoer, congrats on reaching this milestone it was truly a delight to watch this masterpiece!!!

[@aliceinmansonland448]

Also, Happy 30th! You have no idea how much I enjoy your cartoons, been watching them for years!

[@haloisepie]

Had me smiling the whole way through

[@NRGpony]

Easily the best video of 2021. Good work lad, watched it 3 times already.

[@Predatornc1]

Impressive animation.

[@kirstenc4279]

This is so well animated!! :-)

[@henryfanforever1414]

0:28 GASP! They got my muzzle wrong!

[@joshleandros2189]

I've never wanted a full comic about something more in my entire life. please, Please, PLEASE make this a reality!

[@clovenleader3421]

funny how due to this little series you have here with this song, i am now a fan of alestorm and metal...

[@PCUnicorn]

I pull these out whenever I think ill never be good enough, to remind me progress comes with time.

[@TriksaSnek]

Oh my God! I saw every little animation of that meme! And now its the full little movie of that! Awesome! Absolutely lovely!!

[@GeneralSpritz]

Merry birthmas, my guy!

[@twinesper]

Man that was awesome. Pirates and metal go extremely well together. The video was great! Loved the style, the airships, and the general adventurous feel.

[@delcox8165]

You should be more than a little proud of this. It's not just well-animated, it's creative and fun with how you interpreted the scenes, and the expression you brought to the ponies that goes well above and beyond simple conveying individual ideas. Characters don't simple enter and act through a scene, they _experience_ it, and that's a rare thing in amateur animation.

[@nooneanon6491]

Well done my fellow, well done indeed.

[@HandheldGamer1991]

Happy birthday :D I also turned 30 this year. And to think i found this fandom when i was 20 years old...time sure flies doesn't it?

[@Weedyos]

10 years and it will never get old 10 years and onwards!

[@TheMTwinny]

This video be OVER A DECADE in the making? Damnz, Atom been on the brew for that long and never managed to get full-on piss drunk!

[@flippedoutkyrii]

10 years in the making, one hell of a job doing a custom design for every background character! Also, Happy 30th, dude! :)

[@GuardianofRoin]

Definitely good to see a finished version with more or less the whole song.

[@year19844]

9 years of waiting and it is awesome

[@nightshade6611]

1:10 sweet faust that look I love it xD shame that this will be the last I was starting to love every time this was sent out but hey it's better to give it an ending than let it dry out right

[@kajetanjankowski6339]

Wow . The video look great . It like they are futuristic pirate doing some rebel or unforgotable heist . Cool job you made CaptainHoers

[@shocke18]
