This is definitely the first to *many* fan animations that eventually will be turned into a fan made movie of the masterpiece that we were robbed of having. Amazing animation and voice acting. 👏👏👏
Raph comforts Leo Raph woke up after hearing Leo crying Raph got out of his bed and walked over to his room Raph: hang in there, Leo… Raph’s comin’… Raph then walked over to Leo’s room as he opened up Leo’s door, he saw Leo so scared to death crying his eyes out with his head buried in his knees and his arms over his face Raph felt very worried for his little brother as he immediately walked over to him so that he’ll find out what’s wrong Raph can already hear hiccups and sniffles from Leo Raph wanted to ask him what was wrong but Leo was way too upset to answer his big brother Raph then gently tapped on Leo’s shoulder to get his attention Leo then picked up his head from his knees a little and looks at his big brother Raphael Raph: hey, buddy… you okay? Leo shook his head “no” Raph: mind telling your big bro Raph what’s wrong…? Leo: …. I had a nightmare….. Raph: What was it about…? Leo: **sniffs** when I got tired and closed my eyes, I suddenly fell out of my bed until i-it got really dark…. Then the Kraang got on me and then you came along with that Kraang stuck on you… and…. **sniffles** they turned me into one too….! Raph: oh… Leo, c’mere… Leo then tears up and starts crying again while hugging Raph very tightly and buries his face on Raph’s chest Raph: it’s okay, Leo… it was a nightmare… don’t worry… you’re safe… you’re okay… Raph then gently rubs Leo’s head while Leo kept trying to let it all out Just then, Donnie, Mikey, April, Casey, Kendra, Ashley, Arlo, Olivia, Nitara, Marsha, Carl, Manga, Hisana, MJ, Ren, Usagi, Mayhem and the three little pups Manga had rushed over to Raph and Leo Arlo: what happened?! We heard Leo cry! The gang then stopped when they saw how upset and scared Leo was while Raph lets him cry on his chest Raph: he had a nightmare… MJ: scary sleep…? MJ said with concern Ren: oh no… that’s horrible… Kendra: when I was younger, I had a nightmare like that… MJ: Leo… okay…? Kendra: yeah… Leo’s okay… he just had a scary sleep… MJ then stayed silent and looked back at Leo Donnie: oh… Nardo… The whole gang walked in Leo’s room while Mayhem jumped up on Leo’s bed and laid on Leo’s lap trying to help Raph comfort him while the pups tried to do the same but all three of them were too small Mikey: I got ya, little guys… Mikey then helped the pups get up on Leo’s bed one by one so that the puppies could help Raph and Mayhem comfort Leo. The puppy with the red collar laid next to Mayhem on Leo’s lap and tried his best to help Mayhem and Raph comfort Leo The puppy with the blue collar wanted to get on Leo’s shoulder so he gently scratched on Raph’s plastron so that Raph could help him get on Leo’s shoulder, so Raph gently picked up the puppy and putted him on Leo’s shoulder as the puppy put his paws on him and nuzzled on Leo’s cheek to try to make him feel better The puppy with the green collar climbed on Leo’s lap and nuzzled into the lower side of Leo’s plastron The gang start to murmur softly until Splinter came in here Splinter: my sons… is everything alright…? The gang still murmured softly until they stepped aside to let Splinter see what was going on Splinter: oh, Blue… what’s wrong…? Raph: hey, Pops… Leo had a nightmare… The puppies then started whimpering and whining… they couldn’t stand seeing Leo this upset and hearing him cry… *THAT WAS MAKING THE PUPPIES WHIMPER* Splinter: it is alright, little ones… Leonardo’s going to be okay…. Blue…? Leo then removed his face from Raph’s chest a little and looked at his father while the puppy with the blue collar started licking him trying to dry Leo’s tears while the other two whimpered softly Splinter then placed his hand on Leo’s shoulder and gently rubbed his shoulder while he tends to his own son Splinter: it will all be okay… Leo then notices the puppy with the blue collar licking his cheek as he then scratches the little pup’s chin gently with a slight smile on his face Leo: hey, little guy… sorry if I scared- Leo then got cut off as Manga rushed to him and hugged him while the pup climbed on Manga’s shoulder and jumped down and landed on the bed whil Mayhem and the puppy with the red collar and the puppy with the green collar got off of Leo’s lap and joined the pup with the blue collar Leo: -you… Manga: I’m so sorry you had a nightmare… Leo then hugged Manga close while the pups looked at each other. The puppies were puzzled. Mikey then called out to the pups by their names Mikey: Taiga, Murphy, Lamar… c’mere you three… The pups all rushed over to Mikey as he grabbed all three of them gently and held them close to let them know that Leo’s gonna be okay. Ashley: this guy must be a little dehydrated after all that crying… Arlo: I’ll go get him some water… Arlo then walked out of the room hours later Arlo came back with a glass of water and gave it to Leo Arlo: here, buddy… Leo: thanks, Arlo… Arlo smiles at his best friend Leo Usagi: I’ve never seen Leo-san this upset before… Kendra: will he be okay? Usagi: he’ll be okay, sugarplum… let’s just wait and see… Donnie: we should probably get back to bed… The whole gang come out of the room April: you coming, Raph? Raph: Nah.. I’m good… April: m’kay… Raph: maybe me and Manga should stay here with Leo. I feel bad leaving him alone. Casey: okay… April: suit yourself… The gang all walked out of Leo’s room except for Kendra Usagi: come on, sugarplum… bed time, squirt… Kendra: can’t I at least stay with Leo…? Usagi then stayed silent for a moment but then looked back at Kendra Usagi: alright… if it’s okay with Leo-san… Leo: it’s alright with me… Kendra then crawled up on the bed as the four of them drifted off to sleep *THE END* Anyone wanna bring this story to life?
Even though the original, Me and Shadow, film was unfinished or canceled. Just seeing stories of a human and a shadow being together is a good concept. Especially as a coping mechanism. Specifically, if it was someone like Stanley. Stories of someone who was born without a brother or is distant from relatives. Connecting with someone who isn't literal blood but built by the bonds they share. Also, for someone trying to fill a void in their lives since most of their life turned out either boring or unfulfilled. Even though this is just a theory. I do wish to see more of these story concepts. Glad to see these and keep up the good work. Thanks to anyone who reads this.
I think after this, I think you could even do an entire animatic of the film using the animated clips (even the clips discovered lately) and the few original storyboards available, this feels like the entire scene from the storyreel of the film.
AAAAAAAA AME, ame, ame. ame. Me alegra el ver que siga existiendo gente que se esfuerse por mantener viva esta pelicula hermosa y lamentablemente cancelada, para colmo la animación e interpretación de la escena es gloriosa. Es buenísimo, de verdad te rezo.💋
I am happy to see that there are still people who make an effort to keep this beautiful and unfortunately canceled film alive, to top it off the animation and interpretation of the scene is glorious. It's great, I really pray to you. (I translated this with Google Translate because I don't know English hehe, sorry.)
Holy crap, this is amazing! It carries the same whimsy, charm and feel that the footage had! You also nailed the art style so well! Will you make more me and my shadow animatics in the future?
I’m not sure at the moment since this video took so long to make. However, I’m still planning on making more Me and My Shadow art projects in the future!
So proud of you, this is honestly truly amazing and I am honoured I got to see the progress from start to finish during it. I really encourage you to do more!! YOU HAVE A GIFTT DUDEEE<33
