Cheapslate ▫️ Hermitcraft (Mumbo and Grian) Animatic 

*Grian genuinely surprised when, after he pitched the idea for Mumbo to be CEO without him knowing, Mumbo is a terrible CEO*

Mumbo: "Every time my shop is vandalized I drop the prices" Grian: "Your first mistake was threatening me. Your second was following through."

The "brbrbrbrbrbrrrr" and the "pluck my nose hairs and send me to Alaska" really just shows how much of a cartoon character Grian is

The only thing this is missing is Grian accidentally stealing some diamonds from Mumbo while they were talking about the coal.

I miss Mumbo and Grian's shenanigans

5:58 "so i just bought my own coal?" THE UTTER DISPAIR IN HIS VOICE

This was all fantastic but i especially loved the hypothetical sequences where mumbo was pouring stuff on grians couch 😂 grian charging him with a sword was so good

Grian: Repeatedly vandalizes Cheapslate to drive down the prices, then buys the entire shop Mumbo: "Well, well, well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions."

This absolutely made my day ❤❤❤ Mumbo's hands dusty with coal soot, the red light of plotting in Grian's eyes, the much-abused couch in Grian's living room... this is a video worth watching many times over.

Grian and Mumbo doing a reality show is hilarious. I like this Boatem Show. Broadcasted from the Boatem Hole. Edit: Something weird is happening with the subscriber count.

But he got him back with the Grian-proof vault.

I love how Grian says he can just buy it all OR vandalize it, and then Mumbo gives him the ability to do both on a silver platter

Holy crap a six minute animatic. This must’ve taken forever especially since it turned out amazing and also hilarious lmao.

I think this is, hands, down, the best animatic I have ever seen. The choice of clip, the body movement, facial expressions and angles all portrayed so much in a very minimalist style. I'm impressed and inspired. Well done

Man this whole interaction was like a chess match. A chess match between toddlers lol

Mumbo's face when he said "Wait so I just bought my own coal" was beautiful

A non-exhaustive list of things I love about this, in no particular order: - Mumbo talking to the camera like a reality show confessional - Perfect marriage of artstyle and Grian's comic timing - Mumbo winking in Grian's phone contacts - Grian shaking his fist at Mumbo's base is just such a good shot, as is the shovel appearing in the foreground when he decides to bury everything - Cuter style when Grian's imagining buying the goods for his own stock - Lovely dapper Mumbo in general - Different styles of wings/phones - Grian's red eyes of evil plotting - subtitles!! much appreciated, thank you - the fantasy sofa-vandalism scenes are SO GOOD - Grian's jazz hands and "shocked" face after he drops the lava - Grian's "mildly impressed" face is SENDING me, I love it so much - Mumbo pacing in little worried circles after he's been bamboozled - Mumbo falling over from the weight of the coal Honestly, every time I remember this video I come back to watch it several times in a row because it just makes me so happy

The facial expressions and body language you drew make this moment so much better! Personally, I got a kick out of Grian looking angry or serious about his shenanigans. His anger/seriousness is an appropriate response for the character he is playing, which is funny in itself, but in real life he’s probably smiling, so seeing him portrayed like that is even funnier

the worst part of all of that, that you missed, was that mumbo was selling the WRONG type of deepslate the whole time.

I have never seen this full interaction before! And it was brilliantly animated! Also, I love the beginning where Grian is in pain and it smoothly transitions to Mumbo closing the curtain on him! Well done! 😆💙

The scene where mumbo put lava over Grians couch is just the best 😂

2:56 I love the evil look in grians eyes as everyone starts to know exactly what he's thinking

Everything about this is great. I love love love Mumbo as a “proper English gentleman” with his slightly dismissive and condescending expressions. I also love the dream sequences. My 11 year old daughter had this video on endless repeat for a while. And I loved it. ❤

I love how much they genuinely seem to enjoy each other’s presence, it’s so refreshing and enjoyable 😊

Grian's red eyes elevated this to the next level.

I absolutely love this. I really love all of the details of Grian’s couch, I love the chat system with the phones, I love the difference in elytra style for each character and I really miss Mumbo in season nine. Wonderful job!

The "The Office" like storytelling is so cool!

This bit was already golden, and yet as always you managed to make it EVEN BETTER I will NOT shut up about your character acting, or your designs

3:00 Then he got an idea an awful idea the Grianch got a wonderful, awful idea.

season 8 had so many nice bits like this one. you made it even better :D especially with the parts with grian’s couch LMAO

this is the greatest thing omg, it really made my day. I can't stop watching it on loop

The subtitles at 0:51 are just *chef kiss*

4:12 Grian's absolute gasliting here

I love the way you stylize Minecraft mechanics so that they make sense in a more realistic animation. Amazing work ❤

This made my day one million times better. I cannot begin to describe how huge my grin was watching this.

I like how Mumbo just accepts that his one purpose in life is to annoy grian.

Wow...just wow. This is incredible. Like I can’t even properly express how much I love this and how it’s one of my new favorite things. I knew I was going to enjoy it no matter what because of the incredible storytelling you put into your work, but this is a another level of incredible. AND IT’S SIX MINUTES 😆 oh, it’s so good.

I cant get over grian's smug faces lmaoooo

Pluck my nose hairs and send me to Alaska Epic Grian quotes

1:11 the communicator as a flip phone abskxujwkxhwj

This is GREAT THE EMOTIONS THE MOVEMENT YOU CREATED A MASTERPIECE ONCE AGAIN

This is the first time I've seen somebody successfully preform an act of burglebezzlement. Beautiful.

The fact that Grian is older than mumbo too XD

You bet I was smiling like a maniac the whole way through watching this lol. I seriously love the way you animate these lil guys, it’s always so expressive and feels like it belongs in a tv show

This is the sort of stuff that got me watching hermitcraft. It is weird not having a mumbo.

3:38 that **pour** couch

I remember this moment and you did it justice and more gorgeous amazing i especially love how you do the couch with it already being ruined when the lava is poured on it.

Grian was definitely showing his mastermind skills in the episode 😆

I LOVE grian's expressions in this- so cute!

0:03 mood

I absolutely adore your animation style! I love your character designs and your facial expressions are just spot on :) This made my day. Your animations are always so expressive and polished. I miss Mumbo and Grian's duo now :,) You captured their dynamic so well. I loved how you did the scenes with the ruined couch. And the mumbo grian height difference is perfect

5:53 what’s the saying, selling coal back to newscastle?

It looks so clean, i LOVE IT

I love the art style, Grian being short is very good. I also love that you link the original. Just amazing all around

I absolutely adore this! I love the contrast in colors especially when it switches to a different day or a different POV and the background color changes! The way you draw these two is also amazing! Especially the little differences and details in the character design and way you animate them :D amazing work as always!! One of my favorite bits from season 8 tbh- I laughed so hard

My first thought was "why don't real businesses just buy the stuff from their cheaper competitors". And then i realized its because, if they do, then the cheaper businesses will just restock, and people will buy from them instead, causing a giant loss for the ones with higher prices who bought the stuff.

"You may have outsmarted me, but I have outsmarted your outsmarting" With these 2, it is basically this meme times 10. XD

Oh mah god this is amazing!! You should do the "mumbo, is the moon big?" Scene next

to (loosely) quote my friend 'friends help each other through problems, best friends make the problems worse'

I love your art style and the way you drew their interactions! I miss mumbo

“There is only one man who can PUN me out of my own business” we all have a friend like this

"well pluck my nose hair and send me to Alaska" I forgot grian said that and ended up wheezing so hard I sounded like someone slowly letting air out of a balloon

mumbo, something WEEEIIIRED is happening at cheepslate

"Pluck my nose hairs and send me to Alaska" is staying with me until I die.

''well pluck my nosehair and send me to Alaska -'' Had me on the floor 😂

“pluck my nose hair and send me to alaska” i… i don’t think that means anything, Grian…

I like to think that atleast 20% of all server shenanigans involve Grian

Hermit craft is like a more unhinged version of the office.

Love the animation, it looks so cool. Great job condensing the footage into 6 mins as well.

The best idea was to make it cheaper. The second best idea was to buy everything. The third best idea was to vandalize the shop until the whole shop was worth a piece of coal.

5:12 & 5:58 Mumbo's face of realization and defeat is absolutely hilarious. Somehow it makes his mustache even better.

Mumbo: I want to make Grian annoyed Also Mumbo two seconds after trying: THIS IS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!

some1 needs 2 show this to grian and mumbo lol

1:00 the shake bro 😭🧡

Never try to outswindle Grian, he is a mastermind of business

"If you went to my house and poured lava over my sofa, I'd be EXTREMELY furious" "I'm also mildly impressed" honestly, so would I

Oh god, I've never seen this quarrel so seeing it animated it great. Hearing Grian say the boring and predictable thing to do would be to buy all the cheapstale(tm) and resell it so he's gonna vandalize it, only for Mumbo to give him a perfect way to wipe him out with the first option is beautiful. xD

"Well PLUCK my nose hairs and send me to ALASKA" WILL FOREVER AND ALWAYS BE MY FAVOURITE GRIAN QUOTE!!!

The sitcom aspect of this with Mumbo is an incredible detail I love it

The artstyle is so cute but ive just now realised that THE CAPTIONS ARE COLOUR CODED AND MOVE AROUND!!!! THATS SO COOL!!!!

“Well pluck my nose hair and send me to Alaska!” -Grian

THIS-THIS IS PERFECT! SO GOOD! I loved this moment so much and your interpretation of it is perfection! I love all the little details like the water hose, sending messages over their phones, and even the transitions between morning and evening! This is uh-mayozing!

Grain being annoyed with Mumbo fills all his personal fulfillment needs

"Well pluck my nose hair and send me to alaska!" He is glorious

This just in: man realizes basic economics.

I love how this cuts together the segments into one episode and visually tells the story with expressions.

“Well pluck my nose hair and send me too Alaska” wtheck gri❤❤😂😂 also, I love the bit when grian had Mumbo on his phone as a contact❤❤

"Upon arriving at the scene...Crassus offered to buy the burning building from the distressed property owner, at a miserable price. If the owner agreed to sell the property, his men would put out the fire; if the owner refused, then they would simply let the structure burn to the ground."

These two are brothers no one can tell me otherwise

This is perfect. The cuts between perscpetives are perfect and this made my day

I love this so much. The Cheapslate saga had been one of the funniest moments of Season 8 and deserved an animation of its own, and the fact that it's this long and decently made is great.

LMFAO THIS IS SO PERFECT OH MY GOD im going to be rewatching this all WEEK

I hope Mumbo comes back to hermit craft soon. I miss their shenanigans. (Of course I know Mumbo needs a break from it and I’m glad he’s taking one)

YES! Some of the audio you miss when it's in the video, but here there's so much visually to match the audio that you don't miss the best bits. I had never noticed the lava on the sofa audio in videos until it was accompanied by this great art!

“Pluck my nose hair and send me to Alaska” omg I love grian

Moral of the story: Don't mess with Grian because he WILL find a way to turn it back on you

1:05 he looks so indignant😭😭😭😭😂😂😂

This is a masterpiece, your honor. A hands-down masterpiece!!

Mental note to self: *NEVER* negotiate a business deal with Grian

Mumbo just monolouging on a fancy lounge chair with like a fire in an oddly nice house is so oddly fitting
