Why Do You Work? (TTCC Animatic)

[@Mr.LongPlay]

Genuinely love this video

[@randomotakunerd]

You made a fan story about a kid's game and made some really cool but obviously inhumane designs and somehow wrote them to have surprisingly realistic and believable views on their work/life. I have no idea how to explain how impressed I am! Bravo, dude!

[@JebSvS]

The idea of a Cog Sympathist Collective is interesting and heartwarming. My toon would definitely join that. Wonderful job on the film!

[@malachitep4276]

Okay but I LOVE how genuinely monstrous you make some of these folks look. Makes it all the more interesting regarding empathizing with 'em. Also not me feeling things about Spruce and how he wants to stick around for Chip's sake awawawawwa

[@HollyfromtheHollow]

I know _literally nothing_ about Toontown, but this has _captivated_ me in some many aspects. And these characters are ones I'd be delighted to learn more of...

[@kittycastle_]

ive been playing toontown of all kinds since 2005 and after 2013, and this is such an amazing and cool project. growing up, finding out what cogs really were, what they really meant as i got older, and how a lot of cogs were created by disney employees feeling stressed and hurt. i think this project is so creaative, interesting, a bit eerie, you can feel how suffocated the cogs feel, and how finally having a release they almost say too much also, as someone who suffers from tics, i really appreciated the representation i saw, i felt huge sympathy for featherbedder during the tic attack super cool project!! the art was so interesting, i loved your take on all of the managers, i hope to see more, even if not, thats okay, it was a privilege to see this at all!

[@xaviercoolthude8075]

Thank you so much!!! I was worried initially about my portrayal of featherbedder’s tics, so it really warms my heart to know someone with tics appreciated my portrayal of them :7) thank you so much for your kind words

I would've never thought I would be empathizing with Cogs let alone seeing some old co workers in their stories.

[@rangordall8771]

Im not too big into Toontown, i dont know much about it nor do i play often but i enjoy the character designs and the premise- a friend sent me this video and i've gotta say, its beautifully made.. The scope of the project shows, while being in one compact setting, theres still a great number of details, like the gesturing in the art and the personality shown. Despite majority of the opinions boiling down to disdain for their job and the corporate overlords above, the dialouge is greatly varied, it shows personality and character quite well-and if i knew more i'd probably be able to pluck out little details hidden in the text, to point and say "oh hey i know that, thats neat". Every Cog is distinct in their mannerisms, way of speech and thoughts (despite the opinion being largely shared), and while full of character, the video still paints a dreary atmosphere- the art style compliments it aswell, its a hard knock life for these characters. Another thing worthy of note is the toons, they arent faceless, opinionless entities behind the camera- they clearly have a bias here, maybe the ones to orchestrate the interviews were a little more emotionally intelligent, but despite that the ones operating the camera dont seem too..kindly. Sure, theyre in a program that leans toward symphathy for the Cogs, but they have very lax attitudes, and appear to hold some biases in their view of the subjects they interview-while decent enough to keep their yaps trapped, they dont display a lot of polite mannerisms, they dont ask Prester to calm down or to put the gun away-immedianetly they apprehend them and throw a pie while demanding they leave, and they confiscate their gun. Not very friendly behavior i will say that. And the bell guy (Benjamin?) wasnt shown much affectionate attitude either. I also feel like this interview project was held for awhile, as some footage is a little less quality, implying that its older footage- a cool detail to think about! However my favourite segment was the last one with the..stool head guy-what his name is would be beyond me, but i loved how he tied to video up into a neat little bow despite yapping his unattached head off- he has a cute design, his expressions and dialouge charmed me greatly, and he made me feel the most sympathy, an immedianate pull on the heart strings to just reach out and *Save Him* !! He seems like a sweetheart, and i hope he and the toons can help make some change in their dreary, foreboding and depressing world.. he was really cute, i want to beat his brothers ass. Well in summary, great video, gave a like, and i'll look directly into the artists socials, and if i like what else i see i'll be sure to follow along and enjoy the content... Great work! Keep on being creative!!

Damn that was Good. It just a game, and you made whole story about it! And this artstyle and characters concepts... I'm impressed and in love with this video ^^

[@tweets009]

I REMEMBER SEEING THIS AGES AGO WHEN IT WAS STILL BEING MADE AND I LOVED IT THEN AND ITS SO COOL SEEING IT FINISHED ITS AWESOME‼️‼️‼️‼️THE DESIGNS AND STYLE ARE SO GOOD

[@Madochannel]

i haven’t finished the video yet but this is already one of the most thoughtful, intricately-crafted works ive seen for TTCC as a whole. the way you’ve taken each of the managers and elaborated on each of their reasons for being a part of this unsustainable, cruel corporation… it’s so, so good. i can tell you’ve put so much care into this project. i can’t wait to finish it and give my full thoughts but for now - i saw cathal’s interview (

[@theunknown4847]

They all look like eldritch horror creatures

[@slycooper759]

I'll be honest. Hearing belle's reason made me feel so bad for her

[@Berribearboo]

SO PEAK IM IN LOVE WITH EACH CHARACTERIZATION OF THE MANAGERS ESPECIALLY CATHAL THIS IS PERFECT

[@StoryTeller796]

I have no idea why anyone would ever want to work, most work environments I've seen don't look like a place for me. However, I will eventually have to, so all I can do is pray to God that He will bring me either a great workplace or keep me from harm's way long enough so I survive the work environment.

Amazing vid! ❤ I would LOVE to see a follow up with the Boardbots that were canned after the 1.7 update. Started playing Clash back in late October 23’ and I must say, I am absolutely blown away at how much Clash stands out with story and innovation compared to TTO. Greatly appreciate this game, as well as this community!❤ -Chief Hazel Hulamonkey

[@AskingForThirds]

I don’t know anything about Toon Town or the lore(?), but I can feel the love poured into this project. Amazing work!

[@Mr.SharkyZ]

this reminds me of one of those adult cartoon movies i used to watch way back then this all made me nostalgic great stuff

[@hollywood3607]

I think this is one of the coolest videos I've ever seen on this site. This is really, really amazing work. The atmosphere, the stories, the art direction, literally all of it is exceptional. I just happened to be watching the pacesetter fight and saw this in the recommendeds and I'm so glad I clicked on it!! I hope you continue to make more incredible things!

[@gengarpixel3954]

..This was fucking gorgeous. Apologies for being crass but this is amazing. Your art and designs and headcanons are lovely, and i'd totally be part of the cog sympathist collective haha!

[@KittyKat-qj5yf]

This is phenomenal!! I havent even played the games but the way you write these characters make them so engaging. Each cog had their own vibe and the character designs? I love it i love how exaggerated and full of personality they each are! Kudos for real

[@galaxy-eb9sp]

i do love some of the redesgins, i love bellringer holding his head on a stick. only one i dont really like is featherbedder he just looks like hes melting in a way. but i still loved this

[@xaviercoolthude8075]

Well I mean my featherbedder is supposed to be made out of crude taxidermy, so they’re sorta supposed to look decrepit 😭

[@kuhfetti8672]

So this is how cogs look from the toons eyes

[@coolpandaz]

Dude the character designs and how they all feel like they have so much depth to them even from their little interviews is amazing! ( this is my first video of yours so it really shows how well they're written) edit: omg i had no idea TT stood for toon town characters, i straight up thought they were OCs. But either way i love the style so much and their voices! Marvelous work you two!

[@tamamo3964]

DUDE THIS IS SICK! Your takes on their responses are so freaking good- and Dave's made me very happy!

[@UnflappedFlea]

i love this beyond words. you art style and takes on the characters are incredible. and seeing my favourite character of all time, deep diver, made me so happy. you did her so much justice i will cherish this animaiton forever. bravo!

[@cannonballking7]

This is a sheer work of passion and it shows such an incredible insight into what makes all of these characters tick. Even if many hold similar views, they all express them in such varied manners both in speech, movement, cadence, it's perfection in character specific insight. You've really got an incredible talent for this kind of stuff, and the way you've all put it together I feel like I could go very in depth with the ways you've taken them. Please keep up the incredible work, and have a lovely day. This is an incredible short film which deserves so much for the work placed into it.

[@Cinemamuffin]

Holy cow this is AMAZING!!! I've been waiting for this for so long since I first saw the first snippets, its SO good to see it all together! I love seeing everyone's reasons for being here... though it sounds like it's a nightmare to actually quit. I love how they each have different levels of awareness of themselves and the effect they have on other people- Thomas and Mary for example seem highly perceptive of other people and how they affect them and how to work with them, whereas Prester doesn't understand why pointing a gun at someone might get you asked to leave lmao

The Chairman is the de facto head of the company, so he's the main reason they're all miserable, right?

[@xaviercoolthude8075]

Well other figures like the Cfo and ceo are playing a role as well. For example, the clo has been a very large source of Misty’s misery for a very long time, 17 years to be specific.
