Bloody Mary Animatic (Six the Kids (Mary Tudor)) 

Mary Tudor: "Insane" Lady Jane Grey: "Beheaded" Edward VI: "Died" Mary Seymour: "Rejected" Mary, Queen of Scotts: "Beheaded" Elizabeth I: "Survived"

Honestly, Lady Gaga could be Mary's Queenspiration

Church: How much fire do you want? Mary: *Yes*

Fun fact: Elizabeth was allowed to come back to court because of Mary's phantom pregnancy (she wanted to have Elizabeth at the christening) and that's how Elizabeth escaped being executed

Kid: Bloody Mary...Bloody Mary...Bloody Mary...! Elizabeth I: Sorry mate, my sis is busy so i'm taking her place. Kid: What the f-

Mary honestly upsets me a lot. She wanted to be so much like her mother and make her proud. She also wanted to protect Elizabeth and cared for her but as she got older she became paranoid and delusional and gained the name of Bloody Mary. She always hated her father too because of him not caring for his children and having so many women in his life which psychologically destroyed and Elizabeth. The woman who weren’t their mothers weren’t kind to them and mistreated them from what records say. Elizabeth was just like Mary wanting to be like her mother too. Though neither of their mothers were saints. Edit: I know I got things wrong, if you want to see what I got wrong and see the corrections, check the comments. I just haven’t replied to anyone as this is 11 months old

The fact that Elizabeth had to see her own sister that raised her she was little go insane and not being able to stop her from burning those poor people must have been heartbreaking 😢

I feel like people forget that her maternal grandparents Isabella and Ferdinand started the Spanish Inquisition. She was probably just following in their footsteps in an attempt to "purify" England as well as avenge her mother. I'm not justifying her actions, just trying to understand them and make sense of it all.

So, who else is scared and terrified and wants to know what Edward's animatic will be like?

I just noticed that when Mary starts crying after being told there was no baby, she smears the cross over her eye.

3:10 Mary: hey Elizabeth 🎵do u wanna burn some Protestaaaaannnttss!🎵 Elizabeth: *runs away screaming*

Anyone else notice that the cross on her eye disappeared after she started burning them???

I like how in the beginning Mary had the cross over her eye and she held onto the cross necklace she wore. But the at the end the cross is gone and she stopped holding onto her cross necklace.

Imagine your sister literally coming in the room screaming “I WON’T CRY FOR YOU. I WONT CRUCIFY THE THINGS YOU DO DO DO.”

Mary is THE bad bitch who also makes me cry Thank you for coming to my TED talk

2:07-2:24 I feel like the Six wives were cheering slightly when the portrait was destroyed

I love how Mary's get up is loosely based off of Catherine of Aragon's musical costume 👏🏻

Mary: I am the nicest. elizabeth: *hold my throne* Mary: *Getting crushed by a throne* Edward: Elizabeth what the f-

I want there to be a musical based on the Tudor children.

I just noticed that Mary’s outfit looks like Catherine of Aragon’s outfit

I love how Elieabth's animatic is all bouncy fun and "Oh look I'm a badass" and Mary's is like "Lmao I'm traumatized and going crazzzzy, let's cope by burning some bitches." It's amazing!

It's interesting how different Mary and Elizabeth reacted to their father's marriages. Mary became passionate to achieve what her father could not: a happy family life. She was desperate to have a happy marriage with Philip and was blind to see how indifferent he was to her. She was so desperate to have a child to raise right that she had two phantom pregnancies. Elizabeth lost all faith in the concept of marriage and refused to ever take a husband. Her mother, aunt, stepmother and half-sister all suffered from their marriages and she took it as a sign.

Mary: *throws Henry's portrait* Me: the 6 wives r proud

3:15 Not sure if this was intentional, but I love this frame because it perfectly mirrors 2:15 in "I'm Still Standing (Elizabeth I animatic)" Lizzy bursts through the door into her courtroom, greeting her court and claiming her rightful place with pride, remembering her mother and forgetting her father. Mary bursts through the door to Liz's cell, looking insane with blood coloured tears in her eyes. She then walks to her balcony to see the burning pries of the condemned protestants. In a way, it's sort of how these queen's are remembered. Good Queen Bess and Bloody Mary. Do they deserve those titles? Somewhat, yes. But neither Queen was purely good or bad. Leave it to history to paint them as one thing. Just as it does with Henry's six wives.

given her history and reign after her father died... and how... brutal her execution were toward protestants, (that how she got the nickname bloody mary) this song fits her so well, i am curious on Edwards song

The way she was with Elizabeth hurts my heart because you could see that there was love there but it was being smothered by all her other emotions and what she felt she had to do

I can’t be the only one who thinks Mary looks gorgeous with her hair down.

I was getting Azula vibes toward the end there.

3:19 and 3:24 I really like these two frames, it shows how deeply Mary’s caved into insanity. For so much of the animatic you don’t see anyone else’s eyes except hers, and her physical changes are gradual. Her hair gets messy, her cross on her eye gets smudged, her eyes go red, and blood starts to come down her face. It isn’t until you see Elizabeth, and you compare her to Mary do you realize how terrifying Mary looks.

On one hand Mary Tudor was a victim of circumstance along with a few illnesses that were never checked upon, and on the other she gives you major Margaret White vibes, I mean jesus! It's a real tragedy honestly. Hey even if this animatic wasn't how you wanted it it's still pretty great, you got 'em madness feels, scary feels, dark feels in general, and sad feels I mean that part at the end with Catherine that broke my heart! Within the mess of the Bloody Mary reign was a story of a mother failing to save her child from self-destruction. Like I said, true tragedy. But hey Arty you still did great with using your visual skills with telling another story, good on you!

I love how she is composed and her clothing is neat and elegant at the start but as her mental health and sanity start to go downhill, her composure and hair justs unravels and goes out of control.

Forget the Superbowl I be watching this!

i really liked this! it was creepy and sad, and i love the design you gave to Mary, she really does look like a religious devoted queen. I feel bad for her because she could have been a really great queen if she had gotten more love and wasn't mentally unstable after years of neglact.

England: How much more fire do you need woman?! Mary: Y e s

Sad + Scary? + Drama + Emotional + Details + Arty E + Tudor Kids = Masterpiece

I like that they say about the babys, you see, Mary was love crazy with her husband, Felipe II of spain, but he didn't and more than 1 time Mary thought that she was waiting for a baby from her dear husband

Absolutely amazing! It’s things like this that really make me question my opinion on Mary. I feel like the quote “Villains are victims whose stories haven’t been told,” suits her very well.

I wonder how many times Catherine of Aragon shed tears from heaven for her dear Mary. I bet it broke her heart to have to see her only surviving child descend into madness.

1:28 MON DIEU! 2:35 so long my fellow country men I'm off to Greece! 4:01 AwwwWW 😭😭😭😭this is all your fault HENRY

So here’s an idea for a Tudor kids/ others musical: it would be Mary, Elizabeth, Edward, Lady Jane Grey, Mary Queen of Scots and Mary Boleyn. I can imagine Janes would be kinda indie sounding maybe because from what I understand she was a quiet nerd. Then Mary queen of scots would be a power ballad ala heart of stone but with anger and death. Maybe even a duet with Elizabeth???? Then for Mary Boleyn something very romantic sounding but with commentary on how she was treated vs her sister and there would be drama there,,,, sorry to write a dissertation but this has been bouncing around my head for a while :) Edit: thanks for so many likes! I was just thinking about jane grey and my idea for her queenspiration is Florence Welch! For Mary Queen of Scots maybe MARINA, electra heart era. OR Billie Eilish :). Finally for Mary Boleyn I was thinking someone but thoughtful and romantic like Tessa Violet or dodie? I also really like the idea of henry fitzroy being included but I barely know anything about him so please add stuff about what would fit his personality!

This is really sad the fact that after everything she did was just a despiration of getting her mother back..she really adored her mother more than anything and losing her must have tear her apart even tho what she did was wrong.but thank goodnes she didnt kill her step sister that would be brutal😓😓😓 Anyway AMAZING work the amout of exspression in this just makes it more powerfull great job👍👍👍❤❤❤❤ Edit:omg thanks for the likes i never got this many😙

I love this this looks really good and I'm not all the way through yet but I can tell you put a lot of hard work into thisseriously I stopped watching what I was watching before just so I could put this on Edit: I love watching her descent into complete and other madness by the end and the blood coming out of her eyes is a nice touch for the bloody Mary Second edit: I love the ending with Catherine of Aragon holding her close and saying how sorry she is it broke my heart Third edit: wow wasn't expecting this to get that many likes

Mary; I HAD THE WORSE LIFE EVER! MY MOTHER WAS DIVORCED AND I WAS REMOVED FROM THE LINE OF SUCCESSION! Elizabeth;*agressive staring as she takes a drink*

Catherine appearing at the end made me cry

thanks to this animatic for introducing to me the song before wednesday (nothing wrong w that though)

I feel so bad for Mary! She just misses her mama.. TmT

I'm in love with the little touches of detail! (Such as her tears getting more bloody as the song progresses)

I love how this highlighted the tragedy of Mary’s life while still showing how much of a mad queen she really was. She was worth feeling sorry for, but that doesn’t excuse a thing. She was still a monster.

Elizabeth executed as many Catholics as Mary burned Protestants... Idk, history just portrays Elizabeth as the saint.

“And daddy issues” Me: **just starts bursting with laughter**

2:26 And that kids is how we lost a very important historical painting.

Lyrics Love is just a history that they may prove And when you're gone I'll tell them my religion's you When Pontius comes to kill the king upon his throne I'm ready for their stones. I'll dance, dance, dance With my hands, hands, hands, Above my head, head, head Like Jesus, said I'm gonna dance, dance, dance With my hands, hands, Hands above my head Dance together Forgive him before he's dead Because I won't cry for you I won't crucify the things you do I won't cry for you, see When you're gone I'll still be bloody Mary We are not just art for Michelangelo To carve. He can't rewrite the agro of my furied heart. I'll wait on mountain tops in Paris cold J'veux pas mourir toute seule [French for: "I don't want to die alone"] I'll dance, dance, dance With my hands, hands, hands, Above my head, head, head Like Jesus, said I'm gonna dance, dance, dance With my hands, hands, Hands above my head Dance together Forgive him before he's dead Because I won't cry for you I won't crucify the things you do I won't cry for you, see When you're gone I'll still be bloody Mary Gaga, Gaga, Gaga, Gaga, Gaga, Gaga, Gaga, Gaga Dum dum da da da Dum dum da da da da da da Dum dum da da da Dum dum da da da da da da Dum dum da da da I won't cry for you I won't crucify the things you do do do I won't cry for you (Gaga), see When you're gone (Gaga) I'll still be Bloody Mary Gaga Whoah Whoah Whoah, Whoah Whoah Whoah, Whoah Whoah Whoah Whoah Whoah Whoah, Whoah Whoah Whoah Oh, liberaté mi amor [Spanish for: "Oh, free my Love"]

Thank you for blessing us with this!! Mary is soooooo underrated and misunderstood and only looked at for the things she did wrong but the abused becomes the abuser.

To be honest, I find Bloody Mary’s past interesting because the timeline is fascinating and she is the daughter of Aragon and I love that kind of history.

Fun fact it’s said when a statue cry’s blood a great tragedy is coming

The bloody tears were a great touch. Added to the rumors about her being cursed when she had a phantom pregnancy. Any girl with those daddy issues and a revolving door of step mothers I’m not surprised she lost her mind

Honestly the song makes _way_ more sense this way. Supposedly the song is about the Mary who followed Jesus and her loyalty to him... but the song sounds way too sinister for it. The slow, dissonant singing, the husky deep voice, the distortion effects, the snarls... especially the distortion effects and snarls. The choices seem so bizarre for a song like that, and I have to wonder what they were thinking. The only way I can remotely see it all making sense is if it were a yandere song, to use an anime term. But here, applying it to the actual Bloody Mary, it fits so well. It’s still about loyalty to Jesus, but also manages to twist it so it’s sinister and tragic. Wonderful. I haven’t watched Six, but being a bit of a history buff, I love this.

When Mary died didn't they call her bloody Mary? Sorry if I'm wrong that's just what I've heard :/

The ending is in Spanish so it’s like Catherine talking to Mary

I love how at the end of the song when Katherine appear as a ghost it can be heared "liberate amor" that means free yourself, love

Catherinw:is a good person Their daughter: *sets stuff on fire cause why not*

This was so beautiful! The art looked gorgeous and the character design was definitely on point! I loved the fact that you included the fake pregnancy, because that was definitely a huge part of her life. The ending broke my heart, especially when her tears turned to normal tears.

I just noticed that when Catherine appeared the song said "Libérate mi amor" (Set you free my love)! I fount it curious since Catherine was originaly Spanish.

I love your animatics and the details!Like how Elizabeth discarding her father simply showed her putting a curtain in front of his curtain.But Mary actually burned his painting,showing how different they where as Queen’s. Keep on making amazing videos!

You got everything basically accurate with the phantom pregnancy the burning at the stake it was just all so well done and I don’t know how many thanks I can give you for doing something like this I’m really excited to see what you do with King Edward......And once again thank you

I loved how her pupils became smaller to show the hate/sadness/ scared

This is extremely accurate(also yay Henry's portrait got destroyed he was a horrible husband and worse father)

Beautiful. There's the right amount of pacing for her development, which can be really hard to do in a matter of a few minutes and the dialogues didn't feel out of place and when the song reaches crescendo we see the height of her madness and how far it had gotten. Big oof in the feels too. ELIZABETH AND ANNA AGHHHH I JUST RECALLED MARY LIKING ANNA ENOUGH TO INVITE HER TO THE CORONATION, THEN ANNA OUTLIVES HER AND AHHHHHH

"There was never any baby" Mary:ALRIGHT KILL EVERYONE- Edit:I've never got this much likes-

So Mary was older then Kathrine Howard when K.Howard got executed Mary was older then her by 10 YEARS!!! NOW THATS FRICKIN’ MESSED UP!!!!

Aaaaaaand Bloody Mary is scary as f***.....again Great work tho 👍🏼👍🏼 I love how you designed Mary’s clothes; they’re portrayed as somewhat formal and royal, while also being very suitable to the character’s personality. Well done!

1:29 Scared Me. 😳

mannnn your storytelling is unmatched!!! even with the timing of the conversation of mary and one of her attendings (i come back to this and elizabeths in my playlists so often because its just???? so good???) i love this so much

her: **burns father** Ppl who dont take it serius: YOU GON DAN ROASTED OOOOOOHHHH

holy shit the imagery in this animatic is gorgeous the expressions,the blood tears,and THIS 3:47 CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW AMAZING THOSE DRAWINGS ARE

Not gunna lie, almost shat myself at the first scream/jumpscare. But I really loved the way you portrayed her, even though you lost motivation, I think you did a great job

I LOVE Mary's design, it really has six vibes and HOLY SHIT the expressions!! Amazing

Has anyone noticed that she drew Mary with lots of points and sharp angles but she drew Elizabeth I a lot more rounded?

TW: Blood, Burning, Epilepsy and Daddy Issues Perfectly describes the content

Saddest thing is Mary Tudor suffers the worst, then her other siblings. Yes everyone asked “Why didn’t Mary got Elizabeth executed?” Is that Mary knew she wouldn’t have an heir to the throne, so her best bet was her half sister

I love how the fire, cross and fears are all colored. Great detail.

Her life is just so tragic. First her mother is replaced. Then they tell her to accept that her parents' marriage was illegitimate. When she doesn't she is sent away. She loses her title as princess and is now a bastard. Then she is forced to become the maid of her younger step-sister. Well suprisingly she actually loves her when they are little. Then she spends years in the hell she is. Cannot see her mother once including her death. She is all alone. No one wants to marry her without her title and power. Her father does not allow her to marry for love either. Then Catherine Parr comes and brings her back to the family palace. Approximately 10-15 years later. Then when she becomes queen she thinks she can finally be happy. Nope. England is far from the Catholic country she remember that it was. Everything is different. She decides to marry so she won't be alone and will have an heir to the throne. But her husband Phillip does not love her and everytime he things that he got her pregnant and "done his duty" he goes back to Spain and leaves her alone. (This is actually really interesting. Catherine of Aragon's sister Queen Juana also had a husband named Phillip who did not love her and actually left her to go to a foreign country and spend time here when she was pregnant. History repeats itself huh?) But both of these pregnancies turns out to be phantom pregnancies. They wait and wait but there is no baby. And people at court whisper around about her being delusional. All throughout her life she suffers from several illness symptoms like insomnia, headaches, swelling in the stomach etc. And then she slowly goes insane. And burns protestants. The gets the nickname "Bloody" despite her father killing as much people she killed in 5 years in one single event and her sister imprisoning her cousin for 20 years and then executing her. Life did not do her any good. Only if Henry just accepted her as the heir and raised her to become queen with Catherine she could be a brilliant monarch.

I don't know how to animate, but this as inspired me to make a full on animated series on an extremely dramatic modern rendition of English history/European history. Shit gets CRAZY.

Mary is such a tragic figure.

Honestly all these beautiful, emotional, dramatic music videos and animations almost make me forget that all this ACTUALLY happened in history-

If this was a musical i have a feeling one of the kids would whisper to another "She's insane" after this song finished

1:28 Me: ... Oh cra-....... Well! I just got traumatized for today!

I'm pretty sure we only hear "Bloody Mary" three times in this song 👀

I absolutely adore the outfits you've come up with for the Six Kids - like the musical's costumes, they have definite Tudor inspiration, while being very much something you wouldn't be surprised to see on a modern day pop diva. Mary's is absolutely gorgeous - the cross over her eye is stunning. I love how expressive your style is, as everything is so beautifully timed to the song. That first scream, with the Virgin Mary's delicate tears instead turning into something out of Silent Hill? INTO IT. Though I think my favourite shot is Mary from behind as she walks to the door, her hair coming loose from its bun. I just love how you've drawn her hair in that shot! I really hope that you continue with this series - it's so great, using Six as a basis to interrogate how we view the other well-known Tudor monarchs. (Like, Mary I did do a lot of terrible shit, but she was also a woman in a lot of pain, and I think your animatic does a good job of showing that! Same with Elizabeth I, that she faced a lot of trials but ultimately triumphed!) What song do you have planned for little Edward? (Also side note: as mentioned, I LOVE LOVE LOVE your designs, but if I may make a suggestion: maybe put Edward in shorts? To accentuate his boyishness). I feel that a song about how he tries to be perfect, but if he steps wrong he knows he's doomed - or, maybe just "I'm Not Okay" by My Chemical Romance. Boy had a rubbish life, what can I say. Thank you for uploading these, and looking forward to more! ❤️ sorry about the wall of text uh

This is way better than the song I recommended! Perfect choice! Mary kind of looks like Yellow Diamond from Steven universe

‘and Daddy Issues’ that just kills me for some reason

You show how she is such a complex figure. Many paint her as a monster but you show the pain that leads to her actions. Love it !!!

I love your adaptation of the Tudor kids into the six universe!! The costumes are so fun and it looks so cool!

Another song that would fit Mary: World Burn from Mean Girls, except Mary isn't a prissy bitch, what she did wasn't exactly justified, but considering all she went through, she was going to have some breaking point. This was an amazing animation, also almost made me cry.

Yes it’s here!!!! I’m absolutely in love with your Tudor Kids content. I really like the designs and the energy and everything about this

1:44 mary tudor said"i dont wanna die alone" in french.

Mary just wanted to do what she considerated the best, she did what she thought will satisfy the catholic God

Elizabeth: I don’t have a good chance at being queen. There’s Edward, Jane, and Mary. All of them: **die** Elizabeth: **becomes queen** ... guys... what the hell

Mary:*Burns the portrait of henry* Royal Assistant:Umm your majesty the portrait is burning..... Mary:LET HIM BURN Eliza:JUST WATCH IT AL BURRRRNNNNN~

3:21 headcanon: Elizabeth is actually crying because of Mary randomly singing. I mean who does that???
