Don't Wake Me Up (Edward VI Animatic (Six the Kids)) 

Not only was Edward unable to live a full life, he didn’t even get the pleasure of a family that truly cared about him

I love these warnings. "And more daddy issues."

Wanna know what hurts? He died alone. No one to mourn him, not even his sisters. The ending with Jane had me crying. It's okay Eddie....mommas here now

The part with mary and elizabeth killed me. Edward was a baby when his mom died and im assuming he grew up with the notion that both his parents would have had high expectations for him as king since henry would have been like that. But his sisters treated him well and apparently mary was like a second mother to edward when he was young.

I feel like each of the songs you gave the Tudor kids really matched the moods of the songs of their mothers. Bloody Mary- honestly a bop and I love how much hate she expressed for Henry, like CoA when she was about to be replaced Elizabeth I- Both DLUH and I’m Still Standing have sort of a idgaf kinda vibe and while Anne didn’t get to overcome Henry in the end, they both were like “yeah fuck you dude” Edward VI- made me nearly cry with the whole song mourning and thinking about his family, just like how Jane always talks about Edward and Henry in HoS

It's kind of sad that the only happy thing he sees looking back on his life is his memories with his sisters. I wonder if we'll get an animatic in the future with the three of them realizing how badly their father messed them all up and reconcile like the Queens did in I Don't Need Your Love.

You know? With how all of us keep talkimg about how Katherine Howard was just a child when she died, I feel we need to give Edward the same treatment, he was so young and was alone with too much responsabilities

Fun fact (no): another uncle of Edward VI, Edward Seymour, actually did kidnapped him. Also he was 5 months deep in his painful disease when he signed for J. Grey on the throne: he easily could've been manipulated. It's a beautiful animatic. I feel like people overlook how much he was manipulated and had no power whatsoever and that most of the stuff happening within his reign was caused by his lord protectors.

For those confused/curious about the dog dying part, I'll explain. Edward had two uncles. Thomas Seymour and Edward Seymour. For the sake of avoiding confusion, let's call Edward Seymour, Essie. Essie was made the Lord Protector because Edward himself was too young to rule independently. This made Thomas jealous that his brother had a higher position than him. Records state that Thomas was Edwards favorite uncle. Using that to his advantage, Thomas was in command of the navy and granted the title of Lord High Admiral. He was still not satisfied and wanted more power. So what this dumbass does is to break into Edwards chambers and try to kindnap him. Edwards dog started barking and Thomas was afraid that it would wake up Edward, so he shot the dog. After this, Essie got Thomas executed for committing high treason.

That's really beautiful. i feel really bad about the fact that he never had a chance to make a big change like the rest of the Tudors. But still. His life was pretty sad. He never knew his mum he just knew her power hungry brothers. Poor kid. All of the Tudor kids had such terrible childhoods. ( Mary wasn't a child but she still suffered because of her father in her later years.) Ps. Can't wait for Lady Jane Grey's!

I feel like history only ever mourns Mary and Elizabeth. Edward was a small kid. He was made to shoulder the hopes of a nation since a young age. His birth wasn't of pure happiness to Henry. It was more of a 'Oh, finally!' It was for Henry to prove that his 'seed' was capable of producing a son. In the end, Edwards birth just exalted his ego and 'strengthened' the Tudor lineage. He never received his mother's love. His ambitious uncle's used to yell at him. Records state that when Elizabeth was a teenager, Mary had a great relationship with her. Records also state that the three siblings would play and laugh together. His sisters were caring. It was his uncle's desicion to take Mary and Elizabeth out of the will, which in turn, made his sisters mad at him. I feel really bad for Edward. His whole life, he was a pawn in a game of power. He was just a puppet controlled by different puppeteers. Poor kid never got the chance to live for himself and make his own decisions. Hope you're happy up there with your mom, kiddo.

I like 1:30 where he sees Jane beheaded, because by naming her his heir, he did sign the woman's death warrant. (No matter how much or how little the decision was actually his or his Lord Protectors)

3:08 that Image is really telling the last thing he does is try to get to the throne. Because that's what Henry expected of him it was the only thing he knew how to do he never got to be a kid.

Edward's story always makes me kind of sad. This boy grew up without his mother, surrounded by people only interested in his power, and died alone too young.

2:27 let's just pretend nothing bad happened and they lived happy with no Henry and trauma!

Edward never had a life, he had an existence... He is a name on our history books, for his chances to be someone were taken from him... He was a prize Henry finally get, he was a golden passport for his uncles to take power, he was a treat for his sisters that he once loved and in the end, he was just a child... A child with no love, no life and no happiness that people hardly remember and no one mourned his death... Poor kid... Just like his mother, a name in a book... They both deserved better...

I'm crying over here cause i just wanna scoop him up and say, "Dont worry, we all love and appreciate you loads!" and in general Mary, Elizabeth and Edward had quite bad lives compared to most kids these days and it make my heart ache knowing that they never truly felt loved (i dont know if thats true, it's just what i think) and i seriously just wanna cry and hug them forever.

I noticed that elizabeth, mary, and Edward, is with their moms

If anyones wondering what happens in the first par basically one of his Uncles tried to hurt him and killed his dog as well but then Edward had him executed in response (to sum it up briefly, its quite an interesting event tho)

So one of edwards uncles did actually kill his dog. Thought that was some wack thing my mind made up.

Oh my god. I had tears in my eyes with this one! As someone said in their comment, history only mourns Mary and Elizabeth and Edward deserves more recognition as his story is as terrible as his sisters. Never knew his mother, was really only a trophy to his father. I feel like his story would've different had Jane survived but Henry had to pay the price I guess. If he wanted the son, the mother would have to die. I feel so sorry for Eddie cause you can only imagine what people said about him after his death.

So he has a dream where he is on a boat with his mother, he is awoken by Thomas Seymour who tried to kill him the dog barked and was shot and he then ordered his uncles death. He then removes his sisters from the line of succession and adding lady Jane grey. He then has a nightmare where his dad's angry at him and his mother's face is blank he then sees his sisters and him when they were younger and them looking after him when his mum was dead and he then walks over to them and they leave symbolises the fact that he was treated better than them and when he became king pushed them both away from him. He wakes up to find that he is choking on his own blood and he walks to the throne to sit on it. He dies and is reunited with his mother after 15 years of them being separated.

I wonder how history would have turned out if Prince Edward hadn’t died as young as he did🤔

The ending frickin killed me holy shi-

It’s so sad that’s his only chance of a happy ending was death. This animatic from the Tudors’ life is the one who got me bailing my eyes out

The part with the dog honestly got me sobbing. It’s historically accurate, and Edward’s life was honestly so f*cking tragic. He died alone, young and never had his mother to care for him. Him and Lady Jane suffered so much and that never gets acknowledged.

Bless you. I've been waiting and wanting to see Jane taking her son home after he passed. Jane might have died, but Henry never really got his male heir. And while he roasts somewhere not very pleasant for destroying not only 6 women but countless others, his children and exes know that they are so much more than he ever was. He tried to keep so many of them from sitting his throne, and they all essentially flipped his ghost the bird. Now all he is remembered as is a whiny man child who ruined so many lives, and they are remembered as the real Queens, Heros, and Legends. Because of all the amazing work you've done with Six the Kids, I've started drafting a few "alternate histories", either set in the modern world where his wives and kids all survive and basically destroy him, and a version where Catherine of Aaragon says "fuck u i have a better claim to the english throne than you do", kicks Henry out of the palace, has him castrated and sent to a monastery. Anne becomes her chief celebration planner, Jane becomes her Chamberlin, Anna of Cleves is in charge of parks and hunting (or becomes her German bestie so future Germany and England are strong allies), Katherine Howard is a musician/bard/dancer that Catherine patrons for the rest of her days so Katherine becomes the Shakespeare of Catherine's era, and Catherine Parr is her constant Religion and Education bestie. They make sure Mary and Elizabeth grow up loving each other (in this version Anne was preg prior to Henry asking for an annulment), and eventually co-ruling England together. I also have a draft idea for if Mary Queen of Scots had married Edward, but then makes a deal with Mary and Elizabeth where Scot Mary keeps Scotland, Elizabeth gets Protestant England, and Catholic Mary gets Ireland. The 3 sibs and 1 cousin ruling the United Kingdoms of Scotland, Ireland, and England /together/. Aka a world where family IS more important than what Royal Arse gets to sit in the Big Chair. All of this has been inspired by your absolutely heart wrenching and wonderful animations. I hope you feel better soon hon

Omg this is great and the ending.. ITS OKAY BABY BOY ITS OKAY MOMMY IS HERE *sniffs* I'm not crying you're crying!!!

"Daddy Issues" Of course

*At least he's happy in heaven with his mother.*

Your art is fantastic but you should seriously take a break!! Don't hurt your body like that, :(( seriously, prioritize it!! I'll pray for a speedy recovery but also just take a breather once in a while, remember we love you, youre so hardworking and an amazing human being we dont deserve. 💕💕💕💕 - xoxo, a random sub

*Don't Cry *Don't Cry *Don't Cry *damn it* His whole situation was just sad. Losing his Mother at only 12 days old, Not truly being loved by his Father, His Sisters Giving Up On Him and the fact that he had to be controlled by power-hungry men while being ill for a few months untill his death...

*LYRICS* You came to me In seamless sleep And slipped right in Behind my eyes On the back of my mind We swam a sea Of pretty sights and chandelier skies I swore I could feel you breathe It was all so real to me The light, it slipped through the window The morning ripped you away, oh Don't wake me up I am still dreaming The storms undone Unraveled at the seams Don't wake me up Death is misleading And when I fall asleep Sleep with a ghost I moved in the dark The room calm and cold The quiet hollow I am such a haunted soul Your ghost has gone The bed is so cold The light, it slipped through the window The morning ripped you away, oh Don't wake me up I am still dreaming The storms undone Unraveled at the seams Don't wake me up Death is misleading And when I fall asleep Sleep with a ghost Oh, you were a fire caught in a storm Memories, like embers keep us warm You will leave me in the morning Leave me Patrick Stump The light, it slipped through the window The morning ripped you away, oh The light, it slipped through the window The morning ripped you away, oh The light, it slipped through the window The morning ripped you away, oh

**Dude kills dog** Edward’s guards: *_that sin can not be forgiven_*

He might possibly be one of the most tragic figures in history. I can't even imagine how agonizing it must've been to go through six months of excruciating pain and be a puppet in a sadistic game of power. To be the forgotten child when it comes to achievements of the Tudor children.

I'M NOT CRYING! YOU'RE CRYING!

Jesus Christ that ending, it made me cry.

All the Tudors (expect Henry VIII, the old fool) had extremely tragical stories. The wives, the children, Lady Jane Grey, Mary Queen of Scots. It was a rather depressing era full of cruelty and killings and tragedy.

I just read the description, and oh no! Please don’t believe you need to get things done, especially when you’re sick! You said it yourself, that’ll kill your body. It’s beautiful, extremely beautiful, but don’t do that again! You need your rest, my guy.

EDWARD NEEDS LOVE TOO * hugs Edward * I WILL LOVE YOU MORE THAN YOUR MOTHER EVER WILL

I've never klicked this fast

Henry is a terrible person He caused all these problems For all these people because of his pride and selfishness. He sucks.

I’m happy someone is showing how hard it must have been for Prince Edward he was just a child!

I’d love to see an animatic about Parr’s daughter, Mary. There isn’t much on her but there is theories of what happened to her

THOMAS SEYMOUR SHOT A DOG I’M SO ANGRY Also I love the ending????

You did such an amazing job. That ending is definitely emotional. Since you’re not feeling well, you deserve to get some rest. I hope you feel better soon.

2:23 made me cryyyy and just after i wiped my eyes, the ending came along.... IM A BALL OF EMOTION also is nobody gonna mention 2:59 and how all of them had their door moment?

I just realized. All of the Tudor children plus Lady Jane Grey, Mary Queen of Scots, and why not, Mary Seymour (daughter of Catherine Parr and Thomas Seymour, she's the daughter of Jane Seymour's brother, she's related to the Tudors) can be associated with one of the six Queens. Queen Elizabeth I: Catherine Parr. She survived being a Tudor, like Catherine. She survived the abuse and pain, and ended being one of England's best rulers. She was left with the trauma, but she made it and she brought England good times. Queen Mary I: Anne Boleyn. She was expressive and didn't hold back on her opinions, much like Anne, and in the same way Anne did, she ended up paying the price for her actions by being executed. King Edward VI: Katherine Howard. To start, they both died at tragically young ages, Katherine at 18/19 and Edward at 15. Edward was given a lot of responsibility at a very young age, becoming king at 9 years old, like Katherine was since she married Henry at 16. Edward was manipulated and abused for his power, like Katherine was for her body. Due to his young age, he probably didn't realize he was being abused, like Katherine. He was a victim like she was, and died tragically young. Lady Jane Grey: Catherine of Aragon. She kinda got the short end of the stick. She ended up getting dethroned and later executed. But she seems like she'd relate to Catherine of Aragon a lot because she was forced into power. She could also fit well with Anne Boleyn tbh, but I like her as Catherine better. Mary Queen of Scots: Anna of Cleves. She has the "I don't care what you think of me" energy that Anna has. She's pretty bad*ss and honestly we stan a queen. Mary Seymour: Jane Seymour. She may have died very young, but she had her mother's, Catherine Parr's, genes and likely would have ended up being very similar to her, but her death makes her similar to Jane Seymour.

Really makes you wonder what could've been if Henry VIII was any less of an asshole. This wasn't just his wives. Divorcing one out of a whim,killing another when stuff got out of hand for him,one died on a fantasy where he loved her,another divorce out of her looks,another execution cause she was a child in need of real friends,and finally the survivor who was lucky enough to be his last victim. But his kids suffered too. Mary saw her mom get humillated,saw her country come into pieces. Elizabeth lost her mom as a simple two year old. Edward went through incredibly high expectations,and Henry didn't loved him,he only cared about the fact he had a *son* just like he "loved" Jane more cause she gave him a *son* and that's sad. Edward was probably wondering what his mom wanted from him,Henry did tell stories but... A kid will forever wonder how it could've been. And honestly I feel Jane would've been a great mother! To the three of them even,she did everything she could to get them back as royalty! And they got along fine for a long time! And Edward makes me the more sad since,kinda like what I feel about Katherine Howard,he was just a *child* He died at *15* when his mother wanted him to have a happy long life. ... *_Honestly the whole history Henry VIII caused is so damn sad._*

Edward was a poor baby bean. This fandom should give him more love.

You outdid yourself this time

THE PUPPY NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Message to Henry the Prick: Please...can the kids have a happy life for once

Now we wait for lady Jane Grey's song HAHAHHA

I love how you covered Jane Seymours face bc Edward never got to see his mom

Hun, please don't bust yourself up on our behalf! This really was wonderfully done.

Rewatching this after reading about Edward’s slow and painful death just makes his story all the more sad. After the death of his father, he just became a puppet to his uncles and then to John Dudley (who manipulates him into making Jane Grey heir while Ed’s on his deathbed). And I keep on imagining how different of a person he probably would’ve been if his mother had lived. I’ve always seen Edward VI as underrated in history because he was dismissed after everyone learned he died at 16. When he’s really interesting and I felt so bad for him when he got sick! It lasted over a year and only got worse (they used arsenic to keep him alive at one point) that by the time he died he was nothing but flesh and bone.

I KNEW THIS ANIMATIC WAS GOING TO WRECK ME AND IT DID IM CRYING R E A L T EARS Also I would like to say the way you captured things like the attempted kidnapping and the change from Mary and Elizabeth to Lady Jane Grey Also the ending im-

There's a cursed alternate universe where you chose a Kidz Bop song for Edward's animatic since they're kids and he was a kid

Don’t wake me up... I am still dreaming of... *When I used to not be a musical fan, yea-ah!*

JUSTICE FOR THE DOG

Jane: BOO HOO BABY MARY HAD THE CHICKEN POX AND YOU WERE THERE TO HOLD HER HAND AND ITS FUNNY BECAUSE WHEN I WANTED TO HOLD MY NEWBORN SON I DIED! ~*~ 4 minutes later ~*~ Jane: EDWARD * holds/hugs * MY BABY Edward: what the heck mom- I’m 15- died at 15…

I have a couple suggestions for other of the 3 kids of Henry if anyone wants to make these Requiem from Dear Evan Hansen after Henry’s death I did something bad with Mary I’m just a girl with Elizabeth The Man with Elizabeth Warriors (Imagine Dragons) with all three I’ll add more later.

I feel like there should be a SIX sequel, where the wives are with the first 3’s children and Jane Grey too. And it covers the children’s lives

*sniff* I'm not crying *sob* you are!

Edward VI protection squad assemble!

Ok so I was reviewing the Tudor family tree and apparently Edward VI and Mary,Queen of Scots were related and were gonna get married,now I'm well aware that back then royals had a lot of incest going on but,thats weird especially since both of them were children

None of this would happen if Arthur survived

OMG HIS DOG- *screaming* Oh wait the guy got beheaded. Yay!

"i am sick and dying" Too soon. :( But seriously look after yourself pls. I love your animatics, but you need your rest. (The story is very well told n' drawn)

AnD mOrE dAdDy IsSuEs that almost killed me 😂

The final part with Jane got me, at least he can rest in peace with his mother :")

First thing I though was: He looks like Preston Goodplay And I Stan that

OMG! THE HUSH SOUND!! I LOVE THE HUSH SOUND!! THEY ARE SO UNDERRATED!

To the whole video: It’s fine, I didn’t need my heart anymore

Damnit I just wanted to give him a hug throughout all that... That scene at the end with him and Jane was lovely though. Great work as always ^^

This makes me so sad. He was just a kid... Beautiful video. I had tears in my eyes.

Edward slayed when he chose to behead that guy who was dragged him😂

I want to hug him so bad 🥺

Basically six the kids: Mary I: the Catherine parr Elizabeth I: the Anna of cleves Edward VI: the Jane Seymour Lady Jane gray: the Kathryn Howard Mary gueen of scots: the Catherine of aragon/anne boleyn

2:44 his face HAUNTS me, god it’s so sad, it’s switched abruptly from happy dream to Ed looking like he could fall over any second and shatter into a thousand pieces like a porcelain doll. I wish I could go back in time and help him, # protectEdwardVI, because he needs it. mY hEaRt~

Fun fact Prince Edward was actually engaged to Mary Queen of Scots when he was 6 years old and she was still a baby.

His dog didn't deserve that...

Poor Eddie...

This is literally the saddest 😞 among the kids videos. I really hate Henry the 8 so dam much. What he did to his wives and especially the kids. Like seriously those sweet children Edward Tudor , Elizabeth Tudor and Mary Tudor all love each other but no there dead beat father had to go mess everything up and then leave them with people who only took advantage of them and use their power. I hope today the kids and wives are resting in peace.

I find it kind of interesting that he sees his mother as she was presented in portraits because he never got to see her

1:12 - appropriate reaction to the murder of his dog.

HE SHOT A DOG he deserves whatever he gets

To sum up every Henry's kid in two words: Daddy issues

Edward never deserved anything that happened to him he was far to young to die and be king poor boy couldn’t even live his life and final years peacefully cause he constantly was under constant threat of people manipulating and kidnapping him at such a young age

The part where eddie started coughing up blood scared the the soul out of me

someone give this bean a hug :(

This hurts my heart. At the end of the day, he was just a 15 year old boy. He wasn't a psychopath like Joffrey or anything, just a sheltered boy who was thrust upon a throne with abusive guardians and no idea how to rule. 😢😢😢😢 Hey, you think you could do an animatic for Henry VIII himself? Wonder what his song would be. Something properly megalomaniacal maybe.

Happy 484th birthday your highness

that ending. I'm not crying, you're crying

Why do I feel like at the ending he was actually looking for someone to help? Like, he was looking around for someone to help him or to just be there. But when he finally entered the room nobody was even in there to comfort him. That's kinda sad.

*daddy issues the musical*

I feel so bad for Edward. He was always a pawn for power and never got a proper childhood. #edwardviprotectionsquad

I really love these animations,but the thing that makes me really sad is that all these things actually happened. Most of them never got the childhood they deserved. Their father pulled them apart,as well as multiply others. Their lives were really sad. They all lost their mothers at such a young age (Edward losing Jane at the youngest age.) Mary was around 13 I think when Catherine was divorced,Elizabeth was around 5 I think when Anne was beheaded and Edward was only born. They never got the love they deserved.

"I'm not crying," she says. CRYING.

EDWARD AND JANE ARE PEOPLE WE MUST PROTECT AT ALL COST.
