WINNER | Wild Life 8 in a Nutshell

[@Sarah-bc6wt]

Joel's teleporting around had me ROLLING

[@CosmicECLIPSEanimations12]

Fr😂

[@versuzzero5335]

He actually made the most use of all the powers he had. It was super fun to watch.

[@C.C-cn7ox]

His use of his super jump was also very funny

[@imperfectimp]

Even Impulse on the podcast admitted Joel used it far better than him.

[@brittanypanda3322]

Agreed i was dying the whole time, he didnt need saving lol he was thrilled.

[@CatQueenPurr]

Grian has some great reactions to what Ren says at the beginning.

[@EpicNerdsWithCameras]

He's channeling everyone who has ever been reminded that their friend is _way_ more into roleplaying than they are.

[@Fierycascade]

Lizzie's robot voice was just hilarious icing on top of the Grian Revenge Cake. The last moments of the Bamboozlers were utter... bamboozlement.

[@Scypek]

It was like something out of a horror movie. You run away to meet your friend in the safe zone, you find your friend unable to speak, and then you die.

[@TheRealTopHatOnYT]

​@@Scypek That is TERRIFYING lol

[@bluerock9358]

Joel’s face when listening to Cleo is great. XD He was having so much fun.

[@elizabethfoster7587]

Joel clearly had a blast teleporting around and messing with people. It's hilarious! 😂

[@CosmicECLIPSEanimations12]

Fr😂

[@versuzzero5335]

Fr, he was so lucky with the powers he got. And he used it to its full potential.

[@izelthewashbear]

Grian's face as he is absolutely horrified and lowkey disgusted of Martren... That expression is gold xddd

[@nunyabizness8919]

I saw Timmy's perspective first, and I like to think that Lizzie knew Grian was there and was trying to warn him, but he silenced her with the robot voice. I would love to see that in someone's animatic

[@Sebastian62608]

She didn’t but it’d be cool

[@Z0neXDthebest]

Sadly no She said something like “We’ve lost a bamboozler” What IS cool however Is that Jim heard “it was always gonna be like this jim” but Lizzie only heard “it was always gonna be like this”

[@Scypek]

A life series where the players can inflict weird debuffs on each other would be pretty wild... it would also cause more fandom drama than ever.

[@X_WhiteGold_X]

​@@Scypek bro... that's such a cool idea! The fan arts will go crazy!

[@aidanvenki8834]

I like that you animated the theme and tone of scar and Joel's wins according to their reactions- Scars had the previous winners overlooking him as he genuinely didn't know he won, whereas Joel is all like "AND THATS FAST AND THE FURIOUS IN A NUTSHELL-"

[@UltraAryan10]

The energy of both wins is the complete opposite. Scar: *depressed* Joel: yeah lol i won

[@CadanL]

Grian - depressed Scott - lol I won Pearl - depressed Martin - lol I won Scar - depressed I'm sensing a theme here Cleo is the outlier 😅

[@dmittleman9757]

@@CadanLI’m worried for next season.

[@LunaiCarmen]

1:50 I kinda wonder if KZbinrs update their resumes to say their online accomplishments…

[@parkerburr9556]

my experience: - content creator for (idk) how many years - i won a life series once

[@myownmeadow1320]

1:07 Joel's little smug smile is drawn so well! Love this animation style you've got going on.

[@CosmicECLIPSEanimations12]

Fr🤩

[@tumblingartist]

1:18 “it was always going to be like this jim” is giving major “it was never meant to be” energy and i love it :D

[@foxx_217]

Omg flashbacks

[@CittywithaK]

TRAUMATIC FLASHBACKS /HJ

[@theoldpea1]

I was thinking this!!

[@bungercolumbus]

1:21 i swear to god grian's laugh was like light's laugh from death note

[@pepsiatlas5452]

It was always gonna be like this L!

[@sapphicselkie1361]

i'm never going to be able to unhear this now 😂

[@CatLover-999]

Grian's maniacal laughter 😂 1:20 He has the best laugh!

[@silverdreams7]

honestly I think your animations are one of my favorite things that has come out of the life series

[@RoseBerryYeeps]

frrr

[@SpaceTimeKittens]

I love this. Been staring at my phone for the longest time waiting for it, was not disappointed. Now it's time to go rewatch the entire Wild Life in a Nutshell

[@THEONETRUEOVERLORD]

Joel teleporting with everyone was definitely a highlight of the series

[@KitsukiiPlays]

Joel successfully escaping the chase with teleporting abilities was my favorite bit from this season! And you animated it so well!!!! ❤❤❤

[@yasumi...]

Joel just teleporting like 50 times and not dying with a literal 8 Vs 1 was insane⁉️ and also just so funny 🫢❤

[@taj1994]

It definitely helped when Grian swapped with him as well

[@yasumi...]

@taj1994 agreed Grian practically saved Joel in that situation 👌

[@penguincubes3729]

Ren is SUCH a fun person, mans literally a theatre kid and I LOVE his energy!! When he said "I've trapped myself" "At least I got a couple of swipes in" with that deep voice was HILARIOUS

[@RustyMoon13]

YESSS Joel deserved the win, and FIRE animation!! 🔥🔥🔥 an upload from rusty courage makes a good day

[@persefida]

Joel being annoyance in your artstyle is amazing xD You did it! All episodes in a nutshell! You did such a good job, Rusty!!

[@mxblue_sky]

the end of an era!!! these were all incredible!! rusty you're such a gift to the life series community

[@rachelkubacki1642]

Joel was on fire with the switching power omg you animated it perfectly. Grian’s body horror face was so real so very real. You did amazing!!!

[@irayena]

it's been so fun to watch you animate this whole series!! ty

[@Dinotymek]

JOEL W WOOOO

[@verycoolperson-i1m]

LETS GO JOELLL, Amazing work as always rusty!!

[@BethKage13]

GRIAN'S FACE AT 0:41

[@Capricous_Decisions]

Grian looking somewhere between mildly concerned and about to call an exorcist talking to MartRen killed me 😂

[@dracheli2593]

The facial expressions of sadness and worry on jimmys face as he calls for lizzie and finds her only beeping and booping right before they die, are killing me

[@mysticfox9718]

Grian’s face expressions when he saw Ren and Martyn 😂

[@ReaperBuildsRC]

That shot of Tango shouting was great...but then you followed up with a Cleo animation after....mmmwwaaah, Chefs kiss. Love your artwork. x

[@santoshghumare]

My favorite part is when Cleo was saying YOUR THE MOST ANNOYING PERSON IN THE WORLD and Joel just saying what

[@theodysseyowl]

Joel switching places with everyone is probably my new favorite bit of the life series

[@amazingnoo9935]

How Ren can say stuff like that in a casual voice and then laugh afterwards is funny to me.

[@NecroticReaper]

Grian being so over it and freaked out by Rene abomination of a skin is such a nice addition to this nutshell vid

[@monsoonsheep]

I LOVE THEM ALL SO MUCH The best series on youtube, with the best fan animatic community

[@MoonyFBM]

The teleport sequence was so good!!

[@freya7610]

rusty tysm for these amazing animatics!! they always make my week and i really hope you do them for the next season

[@imMittensKitten]

The expressions on the first clip are just perfect :D

[@riuphane]

Worst part of the series being finished is we won't be getting our weekly nutshell episodes from Rusty

[@thedoctorTARDIS]

I love lil robot Lizzie's face

[@DrawnbyCC]

MartRen simply wanted to serve. May he rest in peace

[@docilesphinx3459]

i am so sad that gem died like a minute before the end of the wildcards but im glad joel got his win he really deserved it

[@flyingmonkey662]

Joel swapping w everyone was honestly hilarious

[@fahriagung-_.]

1:15 i always waiting someone make this moment, thanks XD

[@Fynchfire]

Great animatic, love how you did full colour in all the animatics you did for the series

[@Nekx337]

"It was always gonna be like this Jim" *BOOM* HAHAHAHAHAHAHA (I love Grian's maniacal laugh)

[@novahthemisfit6569]

Such amazing animatics, honestly some of my fave bits of the session!!

[@notlizzie7300]

Eeek! The designs and animation are awesome :D So happy Joel won !!

[@chasehulet7368]

I just found this thanks to Jimmy's videos, and this is a-MAZ-ing! Binged the whole series!

[@Akira_minecraft]

This is amazing i always love the life series in a nutshell

[@onetruemab]

your animatics this season are a real treat!

[@jacquesy2520]

You really raised the animation bar this season, great work!

[@KikoRenx]

OMG I LOVE HOW YOU DREW MARTREN!!!!!!!!

[@hollow_guy_]

Im so proud of Joel, and the teleporting part you got rlly well, awesome animatic❤

[@Tr1xxterr]

Man, what a WILD series! Hope you do more colored animatics like this next season! (If you want to ofc!)

[@thegameplayer125]

congrats to joel for winning and congrats to grian for joining scar, pearl and scott on the list of players to have gotten into the top 2 in at least 2 life series

[@BKScience812]

And yet he still said he was bad at this game, lol

[@linkkling]

JOEL W !!!! i’ve loved this series, amazing work as usual :)

[@altriustv]

the second clip is amazing.

[@dommow]

Yippee! awesome work once again Rusty :)

[@AbbyWolfi]

wow!! just watched all of these and they are amazing!!

[@Kpup-f6d]

Amazing job! I always love your art and animatics. The facial expressions and body language say everything. And the way you draw things unique and in your own way is so cool!

[@sketchups4672]

I love it! Especially the Joel scene xD good stuff!

[@jenkohr]

I love your stuff so much!!!

[@HyperCheetah2MC]

Awesome animation! Everything about it was great!

[@c0pykatt]

the highlight of my day.

[@sayloregg]

As a huge Joel fan you did him so well in this video

[@thenarrator9204]

Absolutely perfect in a nutshell for this one!!!

[@small.clover]

Amazing rendition of It Was Always Going To Be Like This

[@generallygrievous212]

Amazing as always

[@immortalhob6759]

Great job as always Rusty

[@Son-of-Gondor]

I was *so* looking forward to how you would animate this episode. That was amazing (as usual).

[@theInkstains]

these were all so perfect and this is no exception xD

[@aaishaismail5717]

THE CARRR 🤣🤣🤣yeyyy I was looking forward to this!!! By the way did you know in impulses recent phasmo vod gem says she was afk watching rusty courage animatics 😋😂🩵

[@L-ghtlessSky]

WOOOOOOO IM HYPE man joel KNEW how to use the placeswap.

[@Kawaiitwo]

The Kneecapless One delivers again! \o/ Loved that bit with Joel teleporting everywhere (and Pearl missing the mace hit, YOUR DESIGN FOR HER IS SO GOOD I’M GONNA AWJIWJEIJEIE-), and the part where he pushes Grian gives me “4 year olds on the playground vibes.” Okay, that sounds bad, but “Life Series is just a bunch of kids playing pretend on the playground” is one of my favorite narratives, so it’s a very good thing. XD

[@Taracinablue]

Joel was having the best time teleporting around, lol

[@Rufibix]

Grian's Double kill is so Perfect!

[@EmuNatics]

Grian looks so worried 💀💀

[@TrinityCores]

I love all of grian's faces at the beginning

[@CaptainKillroy]

Joel just teleporting is so hilarious. If I had the teleport ability (and could swap places with someone) that would be me. Also, Grian's trap kill was done perfectly. Your animations have gotten so good it's amazing.

[@acidslushie]

i havent seen ren or grians episodes yet so the interaction at the start here is gonna bring me to tears 😂grians expressions are so so good

[@spacekee9071]

excellent as always, rusty!

[@Teaganisnotherern]

heya rusty! I LOVE your stuff and if your looking for something to draw i would love to see a scott smajor animation. Love everything you do and hopeful i'll see your stuff in the next life series!!

[@mallylonglegs]

Woah I'm here early- These are always so good!

[@thatdamfangirl]

I love this so much! I am so happy Joel won!

[@Swedestitute]

Good job Rusty!

[@dragonairice3375]

I love this ❤ The EXPRESSSIONS ✨

[@GodofEels]

yippee!!! these are such a blast to watch

[@supersloth762]

1:21 play Grians laugh at 2x speed, made my day

[@lieutenantdiamond5601]

I have never clicked a video so fast

[@rose_the_roselyn]

Lizzie won in spirit

[@krazykatkaylee]

Can't help but think that “Martren” is gonna send the fanfic writer side of the community wild.

[@kironase]

That expression on joel winning is just perfect i love itt

[@NeilShavit]

Even in the animatics, Grian presses the button after saying "Jim". Jimmy and Lizzie share the same placement.

[@elliotgandersen]

Why do I feel like Joel would Fortnite dance after that last kill?

[@KM-vz9df]

I was tryin’ so hard to avoid spoilers until I could watch it all 😢 Oh well, Congrats Joel! Guess the new strat worked! lol

[@dark_galaxyy]

I’m shocked you missed “bam me in the bunker”

[@GasMaskAct]

Got to love how everyone had like serious reactions to winning except Joel💀
