Did You Fall? | Dear Evan Hansen Animatic 

"Did you fall?... or did you let go?" These words hit me hard....

Connors “ghost” would’ve been much appreciated in the movie; it shows how Evan is a victim to his own mind.

omg just when you think you've escaped the downward spiral that is the DEH fandom, it pulls you bACK ! this is beautiful thank you good job

“Did you fall? or did you let go” MAAAAAN I’M- This is so good let me cry in silence

“How did you break your arm? how did you break your arm evan” “I fell-“ “Really? is that what happened?” “YES I WAS......... i lost my grip and then i just.....i fell so....” “Did you fall? *or did you let go?* “

“then why are you sitting here talking to yourself....agian.....” HOLY GUACAMOLE THAT FRIKEN SADDDD

The last line has me so shook. Never read the book, but the line “did you fall, or did you let go?” Did he attempt suicide? Did he want attention? Was it a metaphor? Edit: please stop responding to this. It’s been over a year now...

*”Did you fall, or did you let go?”* me: **big gasp**

Omg, my heart. That hit me *way* too hard.

“Did you fall, or did you let go?” That has to be the most powerful line in the whole show.

Huh, I was literally painting a Dear Evan Hansen ceiling tile when you posted this. I'm a bit late of course b/c I was painting the ceiling tile but great animatic!

I was legit JUST acting this out, and I forgot that people made freaking animatics for this scene. I love it.

I can’t get over the way you draw Connor he looking fine

I can never forget how I felt and how I cried when I heard that line for the first time. It just changed everything about the first half of the musical, especially “for forever”: “I’m on the ground. My arm goes numb. I look around and I see him come to get me”. Evan really did tell this lie not only to the Murphys but to himself, he wasn’t just giving himself a friend with this story, he was trying to overwrite his suicide attempt.

That last frame of Conner is judging my very soul

**sobbing into my oatmeal**

This hurts 😭😭 I love this though there characters are perfect in your style

“Did you fall? ... or did you let go?” The reason I want to perform in Dear Evan Hansen, is because of how much I can personally relate to Evan. I know what it’s like to feel alone, unwanted, like life isn’t worth it, like today won’t be a good day, I understand it all! But even when the dark comes crashing through, and you need a friend to carry you, and when you’re broken on the ground, you will be found. 😌

I know this animatic was a whole year ago, but I relate to Evan so much in this scene. You can tell his anxiety is showing with Connor repeatedly saying "they'll hate you" because he knows what is going to happen if he tells the truth, but he doesn't want to experience it so he keeps denying and lying to himself that everything will be okay. I hope this makes sense. Because I do this all the time.

Is this an actual scene in the musical? ive only head the sundtrack cause im poor and this just...changes a lot...

oh my god your Connor is so beautiful i can't- also that was so heartbreaking im crying too much perfection aaaaaaaaaafhdhdbsb

One of the best emotionally charged scenes ever. My heart physically hurt when Connor was telling Evan how he would lose everything and everyone if he told them the truth.

ok evans "i dont wanna lie ANYMORE" in the beginning was both adorable and heartbreaking

“Did you fall? Or did you let go.” DAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

"Did you fall?... or did you let go?" THAT HIT ME LIKE A TRUCK, HOLD ON CAN I-

My heart is g o n e

I’m not crying what are you talking about? These are manly sweats from my eyes. Amazing job! I loved it!!!

“Did you fall? Or let go?” Those lines always hits me hard gosh their sad as funk.

theory what if connor actually isn’t just evan’s imagination, and it’s actually connor’s spirit, and he just thinks it’s his imagination and the reason connor came to him is because he did wanna be his friend when he was alive, he was waving back but evan didn’t see. he also wants to protect his sister and make evan do the right thing.

This is the best animatic for this scene that i've seen! I love your style and the way you capture their emotions!

I'm glad that you're back with another video and I love how you captured the emotions in your video❤️

When his voice started cracking up i started crying

i have the book and it's obvious that Connor is still in the world as a ghost so when he says "oh then why are you talking to yourself" i dont know if i want to laugh or cry

My eyes have been blessed e e ee e eee e Thankyu for making this, I can FEEL THE EMOTIONS FROM INSIDE THE SCREEN

this hurts me. THIS HURTS ME-

yOUTUBE WHY DO U GIVE ME THE NOTIF 3 DAYS LATE-- aNyway,, your expressions and your art style always KILL me ;;w;; they're so on point eye-

this is amazing how-

When I first heard this I was so shocked and I don’t think I will ever forget this line

I hate it when people say suicidal people are seeking attention, they aren’t. They’re suffering, and instead of helping them, you are pushing them closer to the edge,

I've been watching this on replay for the last 20 mins this scene hits me so damm hard and the animatic is just beautiful

This gives me the chills.... But... did he actually let go, did he?

Ben Platt played this role so perfectly and i can’t get over it omg

i cant comprehend this line. it’s been in my head for years after i watched the show back in 2017. maybe that’s why evan felt so vulnerable and anxious. maybe he wanted to climb the tree to happiness, but he gave up. maybe he really needed someone like Connor to help him and support each other. the possibilities are just running through my head.

this brings back a lot of memories. dear evan hansen was a beautiful musical and it will always have a place in my heart. 🥺💕 (also i love mike faist. aka connor murphy)

Evan didn't do it on purpose , Connors mother lied to herself and Evan was unable to say anything. They looped Evan into a lie they where telling themselves and he just got caught up with the unusual feeling of finally being loved,

omg i am in LOVE WITH YOUR ART! thank you for doing DEH

Ok, but when it cut to black in the middle there, I could see my reflection, tears and all. You didn't have to do me like that.

Oop Connor snapped

God I love Connor’s voice so much-

I’m sad they left this seen out of the movie :(

Utter perfection

The line "did you fall, or did you let go" Really triggered me due to a similar incident. But wow, I was shocked. I really started crying cause I truly convinced myself that I fell. But did i? I dont know anymore

_“Did you fall?... Or did you let go? "_ *oOf maN thAt **_hurt_*

I have now words, except that I love it

"Did you fall? or did you let go" Evan's just like me fr

Mike Faist is an outstanding actor. Is this actor, who is playing Evan, Ben Platt.

This got me crying dude 😢😢😢

It’s been two years since I’ve been obsessed with this musical and this still kills me

this breaks my GOD DAMN HEART INTO TINY LITTLE PIECES

(applause) [Evan] I’m not doing this, i’mdone. [Connor] ..You can’t just stop now. [Evan] No way I can live with this anymore- [Connor] What about my parents?! [Evan] -No more emails [Connor] After you do this to them- [Evan] No more Connor project, no more orchard- [Connor] After everything they’ve done for you... they *need* you. [Evan] “Need” me for what? To keep lying to them? [Connor] That lie is the only thing that’s keeping them together. [Evan] That’s not - that’s not true. [Connor] Oh really?! So they seemed like a pretty happy family, when you met them-? [Evan] -Don’t wanna lie anymore!! [Connor] What about Zoe...? [Evan] Zoe said she just... she wants *me*. [Connor] ..Right- [Evan] -Yes, yes. She likes me for who I am. [Connor] Except you didn’t happen to mention that *everything* you’ve told her, it’s all been one big fucking lie, did you? ..Oh, you left that part out! [Evan] sothenwhat? Um, what if I did tell her the truth? [Connor] She’ll hate you- [Evan] No-no-no, maybe she would understand, maybe everyone would understand- [Connor] *Everyone* will hate you- [Evan] NotifIcouldjust- notifIcouldexplainit- [Connor] You’ll go right back to where you started- [Evan] No. No-no-no. I’m ready to be done with this. stop. [Connor] With have no friends, *nobody,* nothing, of all- [Evan] I’m ready to be done with it!! [Connor] If you really believe that, then why are you standing here talking to yourself... again?? ...You think you’re going to turn around, all the sudden and start telling everyone the truth? ...You can’t even tell yourself the truth. [Evan] ..What are you talking about? [Connor] (smacks lips) ...How’d you break your arm? ..How’d you break your arm, Evan-?? [Evan] -I fell. [Connor] Really? Is that what happened? [Evan] YES! I was.... I lost my grip and then I just... I fell, so.. [Connor] *Did* you fall...or did you let go?

Okay but does anybody else read wayyyyyy more into the lines in the following song, “buddy you and I for forever this way….” And “we could be alright for forever this way”. Maybe I’m reading into it too much but those lines stop my heart….

This deserves millions of views and more your art style is SO, SO GOOD

Love all ur animations ❤❤❤

Gorgeous and beautiful and gorgeous and beautiful

This is so good

i've watched this at least 10 times today, i can't stop

This is amazing :(

:0 it’s been a long time! I love this ❤️

Sometimes I’m just hanging out enjoying my day then I remember this scene and I go a little crazy

i cant stop watching this

WOW YOU ARE SO TALENTED

i’ve just realized you’re the same person who animated the time alive haikyuu animatic and OH BOY am i glad

How can I like this more than once?

I love ur videos

Did you slip? Or did you...jump?

"did u fall or did you let go?" That part made me hard lol ;)

Love DEH...just thank you for this animatic. It’s amazing, really( I’m so into this words and I’m glad that people still making fan videos about this wonderful musical:’3

I read the description of this video. God. Remember COPPA? Damn 2020 was a long year

as soon as i heard those words i legit broke into tears and let me tell you I WOULD NOT STOP CRYING

The musical always hits me hard and especially this scene where Conner who died is speaking to Even, I think the scene also did a great job at approaching how Conner is his mentality with the "If you really believen that then why are you here talking to yourself? Again?"

my theory/headcanon is, ... connor is evan's SQUIP

YEAH ALRIGHT I DIDN'T NEED MY HEART TODAY ANYWAYS

“Did you fall? Or did you let go?” This hit way too close to home. Because I’ve let go so many times because I thought someone was there to catch me. But they walked away and I fell to the ground

soo yk- just hold on while I ugly cry

Evan’s dad was leaving him and his mom. That topped with his anxiety was the straw that broke the camel’s back. That’s why he tried to commit suicide.

This is why we needed Imaginary Connor in the film. The truth about Evan's arm hit so much harder here than it did in the movie.

When i watched this for the first time i was crying from 5 minutes into the show and this scene FUCKING BROKE ME SO BAD OMFG

I need to see this musical live. Being restricted to only the soundtrack leaves out so many emotions

I hope this is in the musical

Evan: IM GONNA TELL THEM! Connor: no❤️

I’ve watched this so many times I can’t stop.

I wish someone didn't spoil this part for me, I would've been bawling during the show

Hey, so as someone who hasn't had the chance to read the novel or see the show, I have to just say tHIS HURTS A LOT- Your art skills are fantastic btw, this is amazing

*omg!!* *I LAB THISSSS UwU* 💜

conner how you break your armmmmmmm Evan .......................................................................................................... i fall

pov: you need to make me cry

I kind of wished you included For Forever (reprise) as well because it takes place immediately after this scene.

"Did you fell or did you let go?" That...hit like a truck and painfully reletable

"Did you fall? Or did you let g" DANG THOSE WORDS HIT ME SO HARD

When I saw this on Broadway I was stunned. I almost killed myself like Evan when I was a park Ranger. I wanted to jump of a cliff near a water fall so everyone would think I slipped.
