Don't Lose Ur Head || Six Animatic 

Small flash warning at 0:41 !! Timestamps: 0:00 - Anne Boleyn Introduction 1:07 - Don’t Lose Ur Head 5:12 - Wearing Yellow to a Funeral

anne: don't lose your head! katherine howard: noted..

Henry is just his portriat with arms and legs-

Henry: * Gets a new wife * Executioner: *awh shit, here we go again*

annes dad: you should get ahead later: *loses her head* annes dad: well shit

i love how the other queens are mad and jane is just concerned

Aragon: Over my dead body! Boleyn: That can be arranged.

Here's a fact: Anne was beheaded with a sword wielded by an expert in private who did it with one blow, without her expecting it. Usually it would be with a clumsy axeman that would have made a mess of it, but Henry decided to be 'merciful' if we can put it that way. The executioner said "Bring me my sword." And as Anne looked in the direction he was speaking, he chopped her head off. Edit: Forgot all about this comment tbh.

am I the only one who wants to watch the whole musical in this art style

Plot twist: King Henry actually was just a painting with stick arms and legs

I love how you showed the part where she said “my sleeves may be green but my lipsticks red”

at 4:49 when the line "didn't mean to hurt anyone" I think Anne is finally coming to like, actual terms with her actions. When Catherine shows up as a ghostly specter and Is just glaring at her, she realized she's about to die and finally thinks about who she hurt. That's just me tho- owo

I can't get over Cleeve's smirks all over the song, she just want to see the world burning

“3 in the bed-“ *King Henry VIII’s painting with legs and arms*

All the queens: "YOUR DATING CATHERINE'S HUSBAND!!" Anne: *"Behold; the I Don't Care-Inator!"*

I love how Anne of Cleves is always smiling whenever she’s singing with all the others until a bit later. I love when they say “You’re living with his wife!?” She’s standing there like “Nice move.”

Fun Fact! Every time she says "I didn't mean to hurt anyone" Catherine of Aragon is on screen

How the other queens describe Anne in her intro: seductive husband stealer How Anne actually is in SIX: 👁👅👁

The queens: Anne Boleeyyyynn! Anne: Y’all hear sumthin?

I absolutely love how you didn't make her get beheaded by a guillotine, but instead the sword. As accurate as history. Henry loved her enough to make sure she was beheaded with a royal French sword, in her honor.

I will forever adore how each of the other queens has a different general reaction to Boleyn's Anne-tics: Aragon is fuming (obviously, she's getting her husband stolen), Seymour is concerned, almost legitimately sad for her, Cleves is extremely entertained by the whole thing, Howard seems just plain disappointed, like she's unsurprised by her cousin's actions, Parr just seems frustrated. Not quite as furious as Aragon, but still undeniably mad. They all fit their respective queen's personality so well. Props.

I love how instead of looking like an airhead you gave Anne a more mean girls design. More of an “I’m hotter than you” attitude

Nobody: Anne after she sang about how she died: *What a weekend*

The fact that she’s having flash backs of everything she’s done ‘wrong’ and then figures out, “wait why should I have to be scared when *Henry’s* going to hell” is so powerful. Cause to be honest she hasn’t done anything that Henry hasn’t done yet or then. I know nobody sees her as a bad guy I just wanted to point that out.

I love how Anne here in this video is not childish and dumb, instead you made her look clever and smart ( and kinda evil )

I love how she’s literally the one who changed Britain history yet she’s so childish lmao.

Don’t lie. You’ve watched this more than once...

I love how Anne was potrayed as a naive girl who makes impulsive decisions and didn't think that Catherine's divorce was that big of a deal. But when Anne is about to die she saw Catherine's ghost she realized how much she hurt her and now she's screwed.

I absolutely LOVE how at 4:21 Anne's face is so descriptive. You can see how she knows what she's doing and the consequences yet proceeds to do it anyway. Honestly this entire animation was amazing!

Anne Boleyn: Katherine was a masSIIIIVEEE-. *GETS TACKLED* All the Queens: *internally panics* NOOOOOOOO

"What a weekend, like so dead" "But didn't you actually die?" "Yeah, it was soooo extra!" 😂😂😂 I'm dead

C of aragon: OVER MY DEAD BODY! Anne about to sing a song about Catherines funeral: That's kinda the point.

Anne: politics? not my thing Also Anne:*becomes queen*

Everyone: growing more agitated with Anne Anna: Getting more excited with Anne's attitude

Girls: beautiful and looks really good Boys: *arms and legs sticking out of a framed picture*

They really did her dirty despite she was also forced to give up her lover. And pointed out things that help solidify his power. An she gave birth to one of the three greatest rulers of the British isles.

There are two things I want to appreciate real quick: 1) LOVE THE GOD DARN ANIMATION 2) Apparently Anne Boleyn actually got the decision; die and Elizabeth has the right to the throne or live and she forfeits. The woman chose death-

I like how all the other queens are horrified when anybody tries to swear but A. Cleves is just there like, "Where my hounds at, release the bitches"

Damn Anne needs 5 Queens to be summoned, a magical genie has lower standards

0:12 "that people ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT" LMAOOO

I love how you made Catherine and Katherine really mad and then Anna is like “get it girl” and Jane is just very concerned 😂

I read once that she was offered two choices. Move out and have her daughter not be able to gain the throne or lose her head and have her daughter gain the throne. I'm not sure how true that is, but it's interesting. EDIT: Love how we started singing HAMILTON while talking about SIX. Love this community.

One of the best lines in the musical is "NO I THINK HE'S ACTUALLY LIKE GONNA CUT MY HEAD OFF-!"

I love how when they say “the temptress” they draw out the ssss sound, as if to say that Anne is sneaky and sultry and seductive like a snake.

Okay but the color-coding sorta matching the queens and the seven deadly sins makes me so aesthetically happy

I like how unlike most ones where they make Anne seem really dumb and childish but in this one it's more calculated and she is more cunning and clever, less childish and more like how history potrays her

Annes Father: "You should try and get a head" Me: Yeah you never know when you could lose your head and need an extra

The way you colored her lips red in the close up immediately reminded me of the line "well, my sleeves might be green, but my lipsticks red"

5:47 I love the way she says ''OVER MY DEAD BODY!!''

Note to self, don’t ever date a person who you rely on financially and socially because if he can lift you high he can most certainly let you fall *hard*

I can literally see the fear in Anne's eyes and it kills me.

probably lots of people saying it at this point but this is honestly the most beautiful animatic i’ve ever seen. everything about the intensity in lighting in some scenes, the sheer fluidity + creativity of the different layouts (esp the mirroring of anne and catherine in the choruses), and the fucking switch from green to red at the end fucking KILLED me. i don’t like to watch animatics lots cause some of them are very samey but this one is literally so beautiful in every single scene and honestly deserves even more views + likes than it already has, holy fuck.

I'm in love with how all of the queens wear different expressions throughout the video. Catherine of Aragon is pissed, of course. Anne Boleyn is smug and victorious (even at the end with a sword in her face). And she really seems like her mindset is that this whole thing was a job to her. In the frames where she's vindictive with Catherine, I'm down to believe that she's only snapping on her because she's in the way of that job. Like, "If you don't have the drive I do, then you shouldn't even be working here," type of deal going on. Jane Seymour seems like a horrified mother. Anne of Cleves just seems mildly amused the whole time which I fell in love with. Katherine Howard and Catherine Parr seem different levels of annoyed. Katherine H. is annoyed in the sense of experience. Of course everyone knows Anne B. dies, but even if she didn't know who Anne B. was, she would be thinking, "This bitch is gonna get herself killed acting like this." Catherine P. is more of a straight, "Wow, what a bitch," kind of annoyed. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna watch this a few more times. :3

Fun fact: Before Henry married Anne he had an affair with her sister whose two sons are supposedly his. Prior to this Mary supposedly had been forced to be the mistress to the King of France. She married William Carrey, supposedly to cover up that her sons were illegitimate. Interestingly when her husband died she granted Anne wardship over her son Henry. Mary ended up secretly marrying William Stafford, which is how she ended up being banished from court. Additionally: Anne was actually very clever! She actually went against the beauty standards of beauty from the time, and Henry was very fond of her wit. Catherine was much older than Henry, and had initially been married to his brother Arthur. (Fun fact, Catherine's Parents are the same Ferdinand and Isabella who funded Colombus). He was losing interest in her and likely would have sought out a new queen soon regardless of Anne's presence. Anne's sister had already failed to get him to marry her, so Anne was her family's second chance at a claim to the throne. When Anne was executed, a swordsman was brought in from France to make sure her head came off in one swing. According to some accounts, Anne chose to be executed rather than divorcing Henry. If Anne had divorced Henry it would have endangered her daughter's claim to the throne, if she died as queen, her daughter would retain her status. This is especially important as Elizabeth's parentage had been called into question. Anne died for her daughter's sake. Also interesting: We don't know what Anne's exact last words were, but the speech she gave at her execution likely began with "I have not come here to preach a sermon, I have come here to die." And we know that she was praying while her head was on the chopping block. Supposedly her lips kept moving after her head was taken off. This is actually more likely than you think, especially since she was in the act of praying and her head came off pretty quick.

I love how in the first parts, Henry is just a painting of him💀

Anne: skips around Henry: well, guess I'll just change my country's religion

Anne : all the british dudes, lame Also Anne : *MAYBE ILL FLIRT WITH A GUY OR THREE*

I like how at first there was the usage of the picture of Henry, and near the ending when he’s being violent he started to get animated instead. To me it seems like that was when she saw the true Henry and not how Henry presented itself.

Anne B: What was I meant to do? The other Queens: NOT THAT

Some people don't realize is that Anne was mainly the victim of Henry, she genuinely didn't want to hurt her or anyone, she was just a kid, and he made her feel special over her wife. Therefore giving her this toxic ego that somehow she lost control of. She didn't understand what she was doing or who she was screwing with, and that's what got her killed

Who else ACTUALLY WANTS TO HEAR WEARING YELLOW TO A FUNERAL?!?!

hErEs a nOt sO fUn fAcT: Anne sacraficed herself so her daughter Elisabeth can be queen :> i know alot of people probablly know this but some dont so yEa

3:07 her sleeves may be green but her lipsticks red

Okay but that part where you watch her getting hunted down with the upbeat music is pretty terrifying

They all look so cute!! I like this meaner approach to Anne than the “dumb girl” approach a lot of people do. They’re both great, but this was a nice change :) Good job!

Meet King Henry The Eigth His ancestors died because of a lack of oil paint Edit: bro this comment is so dumb

I like the part at 2:20 where she was mad about the queen's portrait being displayed. Henry wanted Anne as a mistress, but she insisted she be the queen. Great art on this!!

I love that Henry is just a picture-

Tbh, I think while the song is inaccurate, it works very well for the musical. The whole ‘contest’ is about who had the worst life with Henry, and it would’ve been the audience’s choice. ‘No Way’ is a good contrast. No Way is all about what Henry had done, and how Catherine of Aragon tried (and failed) to fight back against it. She actively tries to gain empathy from the audience, singing about how he doesn’t remember her daughter, and the part with her begging Henry to tell her why she was wrong near the end. Unfortunately, Catherine’s personality is her downfall when it comes to this. I think that the reason she fails to gain as much empathy because of her fighting back Anne stages herself as a young, sharp-tongued girl, trying to get the audience to relate to her and see her as younger than she is. She says that she doesn’t like politics because that could possibly lose the audience. They could see her as an intelligent woman rather than a girl who didn’t realise what was happening until too late. She mentions her father, calling him ‘daddy’ and claiming that he was the one who wanted her to chase after the king. This, again creates a much younger persona and the feeling that she is being controlled by someone. The humour during the letters is to get the audience to like her and keep them interested. Then comes the chorus. All of it just reinforces the idea that she was a young, impulsive girl with no idea what she was getting into. From the slang to the insults, all of it works to keep up this guise. The second verse is mostly her insulting Aragon, with a few crude jokes thrown in. However, it starts with ‘three in the bed and the little one said’ which is referring to the ‘x in the bed and the little one said: roll over, roll over’ song, commonly sung to children. As we know, the ‘comments’ Anne made about Aragon spiral out of control, which is relatable, especially for the younger audience members. There isn’t much to discuss for the next verse, except for Anne showing a hatred for the rules. Now, we know that Anne didn’t actually commit adultery, but she realises that fighting back gave Aragon less empathy, so she admits to the charges, but justifies them by saying Henry was doing the same. When Henry confronts her, she insults him in a childish way. Then, she realises the reality of what she just did. This is where she plays on everything she’s built up so far. This is much more clear in the show, but as the ‘What was I meant to do?!’ repeats, Anne gets more and more frantic. This pulls you in. It makes you feel sorry for Anne, as if she didn’t know what she was doing, like a child. She then makes a joke to bring the mood back up, before launching into the final chorus. By now, she’s caught most people hook, line and sinker. Sure, the song may not be accurate to the actual events, but it is SUCH a good example of playing on your emotions. I’m just going to quickly compare her to Katherine Howard, the other queen most people think of as having the worst life. Both of them act very young (birds and the bees me) and (but what was I meant to do?) being two good examples. Both of them have upbeat songs, cracking jokes and putting the other queens below them (I’m the 10 amongst these 3s) and (Don’t be bitter, because I’m fitter). Both talk about how they felt forced to get with Henry and how they didn’t mean/want anything to happen (before you come for me, no I am not saying Katherine Howard did it on purpose). This ‘formula’ keeps the audience engaged with the song, while gaining empathy as they do so. If you got this far, thanks for reading my essay. Feel free to point out any mistakes because I wrote this at almost midnight.

Anne, annie-darling. If he's willing to openly cheat with you, *he's willing to openly cheat On you😅*

I love how Henry is just his portrait with stick figure arms and legs but then when we get to the serious part he gets drawn like the others.

Anne Bolelyn: Don’t lose your head! Katherine Howard: Oh wait, me?? *Guess I really lost then-* 2:24 Bolelyn saying “THEN GO TO HELL~” while doing the middle finger at Aragon’s portrait was hilarious xD

The only problem with this animatic is... ...the fact I can't like it twice.

People: Hamilton and Six shall forever help me in school Me: Heathers shall forever help me in escaping school

2:34 woah 😳 fancy man

Elizabeth be like in modern world: *"No mom, for the last time, you can't use the microwave to burn dad's portrait"* Anne: *"BUT WHY!?"*

Jane the entire time gave me “Is this who we aRE? IS THIS WHO WE REPRESENT?” Vibes

The others: *start singing Anne's intro * Cath of aragon: *clearly annoyed and doesn't sing *

The fact that this both has Anne clever and cunning but childish at some points in the animatic is amazing

The ball of Catherine attacking Anne was so smooth

Them describing Anne: seductive husband stealer. How Anne actually is: 👁👅👁

I just realized that at 2:40 Henry’s portrait has legs and arms

Imagine she is about to get her head cut off in front of the king and says something about him being so aggressive and right before she dies she says "don't lose your head" let that scene live rent free in ur head

I love how Cleves is just smiling and enjoying the whole thing in this one.

the colors???? the expressions (specifically anne’s maniacal ones??) THE ENTIRE ENDING SEQUENCE WITH HENRY AND ANNE??!?!? ugh i’m so in love with this amazing job 💕💕💕💕💕💕

Just so y’all know, prête a manger means “ready to eat”. Edit: SORRY IF I SPELT IT WRONG AND SORRY IF THERES SOME OTHER MEANING TO IT! MY AUNT IS FRENCH AND GIVING ME LESSONS CURRENTLY AND SO I READ THE LYRICS TO TRY AND HELP. Just quit going off in the comments :(

Anne going: "What a weekend.~" and "Yeah, it was _so_ Extra.~" was a HELLA MOOD.

5:35 Anna pushes the mic stand off the stage person in audience: OWWW!

Anne Boleyn: Catherine was a MASSIVE.....! Catherine of Aragon: LET ME AT HER!!!!

Anne: grew up in the French court. Me: guns and ships intensifies.

The faces on this one are absolute top-notch. Especially around 1:45-2:05, with the contrast between Seymour's, Cleves', and Howard's/Parr's reactions.

3:55 Katherine Howard: What is my cousin even doing?? Anne of cleves: °-°

Anne: Catherine, was a MAAASIIVE- Everyone: WOOOOOOOOOAAAHHHH OOOOOOOOOHHHH AHHHHHHH WHAAAA WHOOOOAA Anne Of Cleves: 😏☕️☕️✨✨✨

I love how the last “Just go to hell!” Is filled with hatred and Anne is just done with everything, also the drawing is so powerful and filled with emotion

Why does this sound so good 4:11

The fact that Henry made sure Anne’s execution was inside the castle walls private instead of in public and he used a sharp sword as a final act of love to her is sweet even tho she legit died but still

Everyone makes her super childish and naive but you’ve made her look a bit evil and snarky. I love it

Henry: *has hundreds of mistresses* Anne: *supposedly flirted with like 3 people* Henry: OFF WITH HER HEAD!! Edit: A lot of people are giving reasons why Anne was beheaded, from what I’ve read, she was accused of Treason, Adultery, and Incest, and I’ve heard that she also promised Henry a son, but didn’t bear him one. The last I’m not sure about, I’ll do some research. But please stop saying why, I already know. Thanks. Edit 2: I’ve done some research, and Henry lost interest in Anne indeed because she didnt give him a son. He divorced her, and accused her of High Treason, Adultery, and Incest. These accusations are believed to have been false. There you guys go

Fun fact of the day: Anne says “prêt-à-manger”, which means “ready to eat”. Which basically means She wanted to give the man some damn HEAD

You can really see the fear in her eyes and the helplessness. This is so well done!
