Why I love animation.

Begging for people without braincells to see animation for the magic it is. It's not a genre. It's not made specifically for kids. It's a medium that brings soul, joy and life to film (and tv... and music... and adverts... okay you get the idea).
Lines in Motion wouldn't be here if it weren't for animation. The name quite literally refers TO animation. So to any and all creatives involved in making so many people's lived happier, no matter how short or long - thank you.

The lyrics, the visuals, that was so cool and fun see! Coming up with these ideas and themes really impresses me. Thinking of these texts and making them rhyme is truly insane. And you tied it all in a neat little bow by ending it with your channel name.

[@linesinmotion]

😂😂 haha, I see what you did there!!!

[@JoyceW-Art]

@@linesinmotion I was planning to type a regular one, but then I noticed some of the words rhymed, so I figured I'd match the vibe of the video XD

[@deejaybutaza6305]

The free stylewas crazy

[@linesinmotion]

Thank you!! ☺️☺️

[@mightyatom464]

Omg what a beautiful poem This was totally unexpected I'm very amazed

[@linesinmotion]

haha, gotta subvert the expectations somehow! 😂 ty!!

[@steelram4098]

I wish there was a youtube equivalent to a standing ovation, but unfortunately all i can do to show my appreciation is a single like in isolation.

[@linesinmotion]

This is such a nice comment, thank you! 😭😭

[@pouncelygrin6699]

[@crimsoneclipse0618]

I love how League had multiple entries in this, and honestly deserved. They always went hard with those and experimented with a lot of styles.

[@ergohash2517]

What a lovely tribute to animation! Thank you very much!

[@linesinmotion]

Thank *you* for watching!!

[@MrSonicDoctor]

Damn, I shed a tear. This was really heartfelt video.

[@linesinmotion]

aw, thank you so much that means a lot!

[@anaispeyron719]

Needed to watch it 2-3 more times to appreciate this work to the fullest 👌

[@linesinmotion]

haha, thank you!! 😊

[@oh-no-not-me]

Fr

[@grahamstrickland3040]

Forget 2-3, I already know that I will come back to this video over the years.

[@MoonAnime]

When I was nodding over the lyrics, I realize I was also nodding through the beats. A brilliant homage to animation as a whole!

[@linesinmotion]

haha, that was me whilst editing too 😂 thank you!

[@raidenslicingwatermelon]

That’s the most heartfelt ode to animation I’ve heard that you somehow paired down to under four minutes. Every connection was immaculate and, like always, your key frames were tremendous

[@Robbay1000]

This video is good for many reasons. I love how you made rhymes work in this video. I also loved that you gave references to animated movies/shows that not many people talk about. Like Fantasia, which is one of my favorite Disney movies. Good job.

[@flamingaish]

the hardwork is sending me 😩

[@linesinmotion]

🥺🥺 thank you!

[@__Oku__]

Well, time to binge watch all these shows and movies. Thanks for the recommendations 😊

[@linesinmotion]

haha, there's quite a lot so at least it'll keep you busy 😂😂

[@ManjerArt]

This was gorgeous to watch and listen to. Absolutely love animation myself and this shows it beautifully on why

[@linesinmotion]

Thank you so much! 🥺

[@onepresence9460]

Animation is my personal favorite medium for entertainment and storytelling (Next to Video Games). What i love about it is that you can really do anything. It's just this open medium where anything you can think of and anything you can create, you can make. Anything that you could do in live-action, you can also do it with animation and make it better. I think that animation will always allow for more expressive and more creative stories :)

[@kevintotimeh6648]

Same here, lifelong fan of animation right here as well(Disney, SpongeBob SquarePants) from childhood! Now discovering Cartoon Network shows I have never heard of like Samurai Jack, PPG, Dexter’s Laboratory, etc.

[@VyNyLoKo6]

this was really out of the blue, and also actually good, love your stuff, thank youuu

[@linesinmotion]

It's definitely different to what I've done before, but it was so much fun ☺️ thank you!!

[@kevintotimeh6648]

As a lifelong animation and visual arts fan since birth(Disney, SpongeBob SquarePants, etc.), it has greatly impacted me and my entire life on a personal and visual level in terms of storytelling! It’s my favorite form of entertainment next to STEM and culinary from childhood ❤️💕

[@jpops10]

Gunna have to watch this one twice! Once for the beat and lyrics and once to catch all the shows. Animation is great

[@victoriac8845]

That was seriously incredible❤

[@linesinmotion]

Thank you! 😭

[@lallelol9516]

I feel like you were able to tell more in rhymes than with just plain words.. there’s something about realising the work and effort put into each word, that just makes me get what you feel what a lil better

[@certifiedfanboy]

Thank you for the amazing video, it really reminded me why I love animation in the first place and I hope it shows others that who either were never big animation fans or think it's only for "kids" view it differently or the very least respect the medium

[@linesinmotion]

Thank *you*! I honestly can't comprehend the notion of not liking animation, there's something there for everyone, it's just a shame that the stigma of it "being for kids" is so strong still

[@seanstroman6087]

This is great! Love the passion you always put forth within your content.

[@linesinmotion]

Thank you, man! Appreciate it 🙏

[@flakefish2391]

i found your channel (like most people) through the videos on witch hat atelier and blue period. I even started reading the latter because i was so intrigued by your video. All the videos have a very relaxed feel to them and i can always be sure to love every new one. This one felt so in line ... to the whole motion of your channel but i couldnt have seen it coming in a hundred years or more. Love this video 🧡

[@anaispeyron719]

It's been years I tried to convince my parents that animation is worth a shot, but I started to lose hope when my mother said that Tokyo Godfathers was ugly...

[@linesinmotion]

tokyo godfathers?!?! 😭😭 Nooooo

[@marquesnonu3299]

Super sick way to share the love animation. Great job!

[@linesinmotion]

Thank you, appreciate it!

[@nkanyisoinnocentkhwane3752]

I liked that you high lighted so many different styles 💛🙌🏾

[@linesinmotion]

Absolutely! I wanted to show as many styles as possible and also as many different animation projects from a whole world of places. Sticking to just US animation wouldn't have been fair to the craft!

[@joehole1975]

I can’t put into words the beauty of animation,of when a stunning scene leaves me teary eyed.Its all so wonderous, a sight to behold.

[@cashordeals3672]

This was simple 🔥 also never thought i would see a video that have lupin the 3rd and how to train your dragon 🤣

[@linesinmotion]

haha, both absolutely *amazing* films, it'd be a crime not to include them!

[@wizardofarts1276]

This is amazing! And, I've never met another person who knows the animations I know and more! Thank you for introducing me to all these other new stories!

[@tophatgeo]

Absolutely fantastic work, the rhyming and beat was such a clever touch. It seems my watchlist has got a quite a bit longer XD

[@linesinmotion]

haha, thank you!!

[@theshiningemerald4288]

Oh my fxckin god, i almost cried. Literally one of the most creative videos I've ever seen. My head was bobbin, the flow was great and a tear I shed...

[@kingbartholomewthe1above317]

This is why I struggle to agree with Scorsese’s remarks on animation and cinema. I do believe that it does make sense in a way to classify it as its own art but I wouldn’t say that it doesn’t convey the feelings a great movie does like Scorsese says. Remarkable poem by the way

[@linesinmotion]

Is this the quote people say he said against Marvel films? I kindaaaaa get where he's going about that, unless he's said something else I'm unaware of 🤯

[@lowkeyayokai]

Ahh, I was aware of his comments towards marvel movies, but not the animated films. Do ya mind sharing the link about the latter part?

[@ComiskeyProjects]

I've probably rewatched this 5 times in a row the rhythm and words are so put so well together it's fantastic

[@Amaling]

Idc if you're a team of 30 or someone with a bunch of old YT accounts or someone new or whatever, the quality on these vids is undeniable. Well done again!

[@linesinmotion]

haha, just me I'm afraid, no team of 30 - but I appreciate it!!

[@Amaling]

@@linesinmotion then it's really impressive, channel seems to be starting out well but yeah best of luck to you. This is some of the best anitube content out there, easily

[@solihinsolihin4142]

Yeps this and other channel i will recomended you to check ah leacks for manga recomendation and common sense for music both channel is individualy made and i hope can recomanded other channel

[@andrea_3811]

I don't usually comment but I've been watching your videos for a while and I just wanted to stop by and thank your for making such good content. This video made me tear up a little, thank you 💞

[@linesinmotion]

ahh, I really appreciate that, thank you!

[@futoifutomomodesu3206]

this one goes to the "once in a few years" playlist

[@lucthelazysquid20]

Very nice, I’m speechless. Also, very nice gesture to put the name of each animation on the top right, the video just gave me a great watchlist, it has a lot of shows I’ve never seen before.

[@brieucm796]

Unexpected but amazing ! Now I have to watch everything those clips are taken from

[@linesinmotion]

haha, definitely different from the normal!

[@marcodragneel8035]

Thanks for showing some of my favorite pieces, and introducing me to some new ones that pique my interest

[@brimmedhathoe4392]

my dumb ass was too immersed in the clips shown in the videos that I didn't notice you were doing poetry :'DDD Nicely done! Your random videos expressing your love for something are always welcome!

[@0li-0li28]

That last line was such a cute nod to ur channel I loved the whole thing so much!

[@noctiknight8618]

this video was absolutely amazing, there was so much passion in your work. I'll instantly sub

[@evalunaamado7818]

You just summarize every great piece of animation in your video. That was incredible.

[@IcecreamCat23]

“How many times have you watched this?” Me: Yes

[@KillerTacos54]

This video alone made me subscribe! I have such a similar, near-identical outlook and appreciation towards animation, and I love seeing people who feel the same way! So glad I discovered your channel

[@claramello6282]

this was really lovely, had to watch it twice in a roll!

Conceptually speaking, this video is simply brilliant! Both visually appealing, whilst also highlighting the praise for the medium via incorporating another artistic medium (poetry/spoken word). As a fellow lover of animation, I really enjoyed this video! 😁

[@SuzumeMizuno]

I couldn't stop smiling while I heard (and watched, of course) this video. Truly lovely!

[@julianasilveira3978]

[@sle6423]

This brings back the motivation to continue animating

[@delphinetruong1116]

[@linesinmotion]

[@Roggoll]

If I didn't want to subscribe already, scissor seven, sing a bit of harmony, rain town, undone, even my favourite eve music video so many underrated amazing stuff here! This feels like a recommendation list. Incredible taste
