Be good to me || Rise of the TMNT Animatic 

I think I saw the author of “Mutant Ninja Midlife Crisis” say on tumblr that Donnie did everything he could think of (drugging Leo, deactivating his arm) to keep Leo from blaming himself for his death the way he had blamed himself for Raph’s. To make it so that Leo shouldn’t be able to blame himself for not stopping Donnie because Donnie made sure he was PHYSICALLY INCAPABLE of stopping him. This scene fucking haunts me, and this AMV absolutely does justice to it!

This version of future Donnie’s death has hands down been my fav to come out so far and it’s so sick someone made something for it

Now, I know approximately nothing about TMNT, BUT this is incredible and I knew (almost) exactly what was going on. Amazing work once again Casserole!

I KNEW THAT SCENE WAS FAMILIAR IT'S SO WELL DONE 🌟

bro the way that the frames match the music so perfectly at 0:29-0:33 hurts so good. the way Leo’s face just perfectly captures the realization sinking in ahhhhhh my heart.

Everytime. Everything in this fandom is just angst since the movie and I'm always crying afterwards. Good work 👍

I absolutely love how to rottmnt/ tmnt Fandom is just growing and growing with artists everywhere >:D

One word to describe me watching this masterpiece: *"Pain."*

This is one of those animatics you have to rewatch over and over again to really absorb how amazing it is

I remember very little of TMNT but all i know is that THIS is just incrediable! The music really makes it have some sort of feel to it. Once again amazing work Casserole cant wait to see what you do next!

Just watching this brings a chill down my spine. No, it struck my whole body like a goddamn lightning. The scene was built up perfectly and you clearly know what you're doing here. Not only did you succeed in pulling rottmnt fans deeper into the abyss of pain and suffering but you also make it comprehendible to non-fans so you can lure them in as well. And I love it.

This is honestly one of the most beautiful animatics that I have ever set my eyes- this is so bittersweet yet heartbreaking, the expressions the angles and perceptive is so well done and you are incredibly talented the Tmnt community is going to be amazed by this!! Keep up the amazing work!

Oh... My heart... They're my favourite duo in rottmnt and just thinking about what happen in the future make me cry T^T Very good animation, you broke my heart but this is amazing

The amount of angst in this fandom is going to make me run out of tears one day

I did NOT EXPECT that you would also start doing content for ROTTMNT as well (I have no clue but some artists I follow ALWAYS end up in the same fandoms as me, which is freaky but also nice to see). I remember reading this scene in the fanfic! It was so well done that I knew EXACTLY where this came from! I love it!

Okay. So I've been convinced to watch the series and movie seriously. Thank you for that push

Oh god… I’m new to the TMNT fandom but god was this good. You displayed the emotions perfectly!!

Well now I want to go rewatch that movie because I’m DYING to know the backstory and what is going to happen

This is absolutely stunning, you captured this fic so well!!! The emotion is so raw! And fun fact for the folks who haven't read Mutant Ninja Midlife Crisis,not only did Donnie turn off his arm so Leo couldn't stop him, Donnie also drugged him

I was ready to start sobbing the minute I heard "That Unwanted Animal" start playing but then the animatic finished the job. Absolutely STUNNING work, thank you so much for sharing!!

YESSS You’re one of my favorite animators and you’ve always animated for my favorite fandoms I love love love you and this 🤞💙

CAS YOU CAN’T DISAPPEAR FOR A WHILE AND THEN COME BACK AND THROW A SPEAR AT MY HEART WHYY (In all seriousness thank you for blessing us with your animation beauty again)

I finally got up to this chapter and played That unwanted animal just to be in my feels. Donnie went out like a champ and I've never been more prouder he didn’t give the Krang any information even after they tried unlocking where everyone else in the Resistance were hiding. This chapter wrecked me, and I thought future Leo would get a break from his survivor's guilt here goes the dream/flashback and then the bitterness at the end. Beautiful fanfic I can't wait to continue reading 😢😢😢 *I just want my two Leonardos to heal dammit! Hug and cry it out boys* 😭😭

This is so gorgeous. I love the way Leo's face crumples more and more with each 'Be good'

WHY DOES THE ROTTMNT FANDOM ALWAYS DO THIS TO ME THEY MAKE MEEE CRYYYYY

This is a literary a masterpiece from the experience the angles and the perspectives are so well done. You are truly an enrichment for the tmnt fandom. You are so talented keep up the amazing work. I will watch this now for a few times

You literally mixed my two favourite things and I'm gonna rewatch this video while crying many many many times. Ty for creating this masterpiece

Do I have any idea what going on? No, do I love this with every fiber of my being? Yessss

God dammit Casserole you had to slap me across the face with talent and emotions

I wanna cry it’s so beautiful

Wait, was that Leo and Raph? Ok, I need to read this fanfic. This looks like it'll be good. It's been a while since I've gotten to enjoy anything TMNT. Great job, Casserole!!! Another masterpiece.

*sobs quietly* why must an animation make me feel like this 😭😭

THE HUG 😩😭😭❤️❤️

*Sobs* WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO MY POOR HEART. THIS IS AS BEAUTIFUL AS IT IS HEARTBREAKING AND I DON’T KNOW HOW TO FEEL

Cassarole? And Rise of tmnt? In one? EEEEE-*explodes* On a more serious note, this is incredible. The way you captured the emotions and the background/setting and the bros it's just immaculate.

Just discovered this. Honestly wish I didn’t. I’m BAWLING RN

I will start crying right now

oughhh this is such a great animatic for an already crushing scene in a great fic!!

Not me seeing this animation at 9am in the morning and coming back to it at 20 minutes after midnight because- *shut up I don’t have a problem.* This is gorgeous. And with the BeeDuo’s fanfic as well, I have to point out your amazing taste in reading. That is all. Though I was fully giving up on sleep but.. it seems the fic is still in the *making?* I- I can’t wait! And it’s for the best as I need sleep-

I hadn't watched Rottmt in literal years, but that was awesome!!!

I’m noticing a pattern with my favourite mcyt creators migrating to rottmnt at the same time I did, and I’m loving it. A banger as always, Casserole.

THE WAY I INSTANTLY KNEW WHICH SCENE THIS WAS I AM SCREAMING SOBBING PUNCHING THE FLOOR ♥♥♥

Okay, I'm new here, and noticing the Rise fandom is as masochistic as the FMA fandom ah haha, uncomfortable laugh, god I love it this is stellar ;~;

I'M GOING TO CRY DIDN'T KNEW YOU WERE INTO ROTTMNT

THE EMOTION IN THEIR FACES 🤩❤⭐

Wow this is amazing. I love the design for Donnie. Great job 👏 😁

I just read the chapter this happened in and I saw this animatic in my head as I read through the scene- _AAAAAAAAAAAAAA HEARTBREAKKKKKKK_

Although every time i see it it feels like something pokes my brain to hyperfocus on it i know nothing about it.. But this is so cool!

Аниматики становятся всё лучше и лучше, смотря ваши видео я набираюсь решимости чтобы научиться рисовать,спасибо
