From puns to failed // Secret Life Animatic 

"Who do you think is gonna go first?" "It's gotta be Scar" How ironic !

the fact they both got pun related tasks at the same time is hilarious

FOR THOSE WHO ARE WONDERING: Grian’s task: Make 3 bad puns at every given moment and get no laughs Scar’s task: Call everyone everything but their username

as a fellow artist: those HANDS. the BODY LANGUAGE. the FRAMES AND CAMERA POSITIONING. stunning, 10/10 cant wait to watch Jimmy watch this after the series ends

OMG??? THE FRAME WHERE IT SHOWED ANOTHER LIFE SERIES (CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME-) WAS SO SMOOTH AND WELL DONE BECAUSE GRIAN HAD A PICK!!! AAAAAHH

The way you animated scar talking about losing hearts is *exactly* how he sounds, it’s BEAUTIFUL

You made Scott so unbelievably sassy in his entrance and I love it. This was amazing

2:27 Scott do be looking absolutely ✨ fabulous ✨ in every frame tho

OK CAN I JUST. RAMBLE for a sec??? these designs are so good i CANNOT believe it. Grian having a shoulder cape is SUCH a natural transition from his usual "elytra angel wings" design because they both have a sort of windy-ness to them. It also makes him look like a hobbit! Mumbo having that minimalist pringles face when simplified is simply adorable. I am chuffed to bits. And I love how you managed to make his suit more interesting with the arm straps and gloves, AND AND those pointy elf ears and rich guy hair!! Making Joel a tired-eyed sort-of-alien to link back to his skin's Shrek origins is so genius. AND SCOTT. SCOTT. WHY ARE THEY SO GORGEOUS??? The bottom eyelashes, the subtle lip curve, the teeth gaps when he made a hiss sound, THE HAIR SPARKLES??? Anime boy. He's an anime boy. Scar. His shoulder pockets. His pointy but curved teeth. His crying face. His kerchief and scars. Protect him at all costs. Lastly I'd like to appreciate the incorporations of hearts in all their clothes (its the life series symbol). Grian's heart pin to keep his shoulder cape linked, Mumbo and Joel's heart buttons, Scar's heart kerchief, and Scott's Heart Brooch! I love this video so much. You are now an inspiration to me in character design.

THIS WAS SOO GOODDD!!! Everyone is so expressive AND ITS ALMOST A 5 MINUTE ANIMATIC WHAT THE HELL!? I loved it, and the thumbnail art is amazing!!

2:27 can we stop an talk about how FABULOUS Scott looks in this frame??? I love his lashes!!

Imagine double life with Scar and Jimmy sharing a health bar 😂😂

Oh I can't express how much i love this!!! The character designs the expressions, the framing and movement, the depiction of the pun items! Fantastic! The pun items (almost always) not being simply thrown on the ground but each having a unique action of drawing and presenting them was SO GOOD. I adore the reference at 0:52. Also the "Moon Big" reference too.

"Moon not big" was good This was a much longer animatic than I had expected, and I'm pleasantly surprised about it.

I love the way you captured Joel's real nonchalant delivery lmao the way that man goes from the most unbothered monotone voice to screaming is why I love watching him lmao

I like how the entire Hermitcraft Animated community has basically agreed upon the fact that all Hermits and interactions between them are and look somewhat romantic, nothing in the form of ships or something like that, just casually romantic by themself and with each other Also hits the Life theme very well (and maybe that's the main reason you chose to draw them like that but my point still stands!)

This is amazing! I love how you animated the clips! I really like the flashback to last life at 0:54 and the hermitcraft s8 refrence at 2:16 :D

2:42 “it’s gonna be Scar” Little does he know…

I love how little Grian always is in these animations, especially next to Mumbo

This is just... so beautiful. It's always so much fun seeing what animators do with the items Mumbo and Grian are punning with, but I've never seen someone animate gifting before and that's also so cool! Even their little hole in the ground is so detailed and pretty.

Absolutely in love with how you draw the hermits, theyre all so cute!

3:05 I love how groan is actually super concerned,it shows that they are great friends.

Ive just recently noticed how, when Grian is laughing really hard, you can hear him slapping his desk, and it makes me giggle to think about lol

The fact the first episode of every season of Life had some sort of on-going joke over several minutes is golden.

The start of the puns make it seem like they’re brothers mucking around (Eg. Mumbo hitting grian with the block or grian swinging the pickaxe around them) I think it adds a depth of character no other animatic of this scene is able to convey I amy be 3 months late but Bravo!

Joel and Scott’s character designs are SPOT ON! The animation was sooo good though!

The style, character design and animation is incredibly well made, and the flashbacks were really cool. Well done 👍

your mumbo design is so entirely correct and I am in love with your brain

How did you get such high quality stuff done, for a runtime of 4 whole minutes, THIS QUICKLY???? I could NEVER

I love the little hearts incorporated on everyone's design! Neat little detail :)

This is “my diamonds are right here” all over again 😂

I *absolutely* love this animation, the characters' body language, the postures, the art style... it feels so "alive" and "animated", and the character designs for each person are soooo on point, its amazing, pleeeaase make more!!

2:52 It's a small thing but I really love them just sitting around a table talking

Oh my goodness, they're all so expressive! Scott and Scar especially, they're just done so well! All of your designs are perfect! This is probably the best secret life animatic I've seen so far.

This is incredible, I really love your designs and their expressions (especially Scott's drama queen expression)

The way you drew Scott was so pretty ngl

I still can’t believe Grian just handed it to Mumbo. He used up all his luck with Grian first episode only for it to backfire with the worst luck in the recent episode

At first I thought this was like a 20 to 40 second bit, but you’ve gone and done nearly *5 minutes* of animation!? And it’s so well done! I love the switch from high detail to chibi and the designs for each of them. (Also the way you posed them during the puns with the sticks and everything!) Especially the reference frame at 0:52, it sent a chill up my spine! This was absolutely fantastic and I will be subscribing and waiting eagerly for more ❤❤❤

The artstyle??? The character designs??? The expressions, transitions, everything about this whole animatic is just??? It's so good! Just *chefs kiss*

1:37 grian's laugh was just amazing

I love the character design for grian hes just so cute

I'm loving the subtle references, especially the one at 2:15.

Okay I love the animatic but that one frame that ties back to last life when Grian turned red is so angst and I love it!

Jumbo makes me SWOON when he’s animated like this all white with the mustache and grian is so cuuuute 😭

NOT THE FLASHBACK TO LAST LIFE AHHH THIS IS SO WELL DONE- LOVE YOUR WORK AS ALWAYS :DDD

I ABSOLUTELY ADORE YOUR ART STYLE, EVERYONE HAS SO MUCH EMOTION PLEASE KEEP DOING LIFE SERIES ANIMATICS

OKAY. EVERYTHING. I LOVE EVERYTHING??? THE CHARACTER DESIGNS ARE ACTUALLY MY FAVORITE THINGS EVER (I love Grian’s little cloak thing 😭) AND THE LAST LIFE FRAME WITH THE PICAXE OH MY ABSOLUTE GOODENESS IT WAS LIKE AMAZING AND THEN (okay the little ghost thing Joel had was actually so cute lol) THE ABSOLUTE YAS-NESS OF SCOTT WAS IMPECCABLE, LIKE HE WAS CONSTANTLY /GLOWING/ IT WAS AMAZING AND THEN oh my gosh I CANNOT WITH THE ANIMATION OF THE GIFTING A HEART!!! It was so cool looking, like they reach to their soul for the heart, and then it just materializes in the most satisfying way possible and I just- oh my gosh this entire thing was amazing, and you have some genuine talent, and I hope to see more animatics from you, because there is no doubt that they will be as impressive and well done as this one (but i also don’t want to pressure you into making more if you don’t want to; please only make more if you genuinely want to, because I wouldn’t want to cause any burnout or dismotivation (that’s not a word but whatever)) overall, everything was incredible

SPOLIERS!!! The fact that mumbo said scar will go first but he won is honestly amazing 👏

I absolutely adore the character designs!! This is so great! ❤️✨

I didn't realize how long this was bc I was so excited to watch this! I thought it was just a Grian and Mumbo animatic but then Tim showed up! And then JOEL! And then SCOT IS SO PRETTY!! AND THEN SCAR!!!

All of the praise in this comment section is so so deserved this is wonderful but I need a moment to process how absolutely gorgeous your lineart it. I'm eating your lines they're so so good

THE DETAIL IN THE FRAME AT 0:54 IS DRIVING ME INSANE. IN A VERY GOOD WAY. MUMBO'S NERVOUSNESS AND GRIAN'S SMILE AND THEM STARING EACH OTHER DEAD IN THE EYES. I AM ILL ABOUT THIS. It took me a minute to land on the exact frame but WORTH IT oh my god and then the very next, normal, frame has Mumbo still nervous before he breaks out in proper laughter... biting and scratching And Grian's reaction to Mumbo dropping a block on his face

aww just the little grian sitting on the edge at 00:10 is just too cute for some reason (Edit: and Scott is so pretty! the eyelashesssss! eeeek!)

This was the best life series animation I’ve seen!!!! There was so much expression in all of the characters and you can see the work out into every frame! I loved the call back to last life and it changing how you were able to swap Mumbos expression from laughing and happy to scared so quickly!

Goddd this is lovely, you can tell how much love and thought was put into every frame of this. So expressive, love love the way you drew Scott as an anime pretty boy. 10/10

The character design looks so good i wanna get an arm extension to hug them all

your art style is so cute!! also the flashback at 0:53 was really cool

Okay this needs so much attention. You somehow perfected their character design with literally no visible flaws. You even added little touches of hearts and things to bring them together and they're just SO perfect! Also, everyone's talking about 0:52 and the moon big and last life references which ARE awesome,, but like the hug frame at 4:28???? Um yes??? This is just a whole caboodle of goodness

honestly this is one of my favorite interpretations of how the life series people's skins look. GG on that, my good friend

"moon's not big" nice detail. seriously though, this is one of the best Minecraft-series based animatics I've ever seen. Very high quality, great art, tons of fun little details and references and of course the creative ways you incorporated the puns all coming together to make this so much more enjoyable. Best of all the character designs are SO nice with Mumbo's suit, Grian's half-cloak thingy and Scar's jacket all being very fitting and cool looking, not to mention how they make a good, recognizable silhouette and remain easily identifiable for the cuter simplified versions. In addition to the aforementioned aspects, you also have really good camera angles and posing that tell the story really well, be it a new character coming into scene or the characters stepping back for a laugh, some good examples being Grian sitting on the dirt wall at 0:15 and 0:18, Jimmy looking down at the conversation at 1:14, Scar's arrival during the mining pun at 3:46, Mumbo's dramatic joke at 1:31 and Grian giving a heart at 3:23. Overall a very well made, very creative interpretation of what was originally just people walking around in Minecraft. 10/10 I just wanna say, I like to keep my subscription list tidy. There are no channels on that list that I don't consistently watch unless they're a friend or family member and I only subscribe to a channel if I actually intend on watching more of their content, meaning I basically never subscribe to a channel after only seeing 1 of their videos. In this case however, I just absolutely love it. I subscribed to keep quick and easy access to the rest of the channel so I can catch up on it all later and I can't wait to see what you make in the future! Edit: sorry if this comes off as pretentious or anything i just wanted to gush about rhe video lol

These are INCREDIBLE! I love all of the character designs, the expressions… I’m GUSHING over this. I love this so so much; I’m saving this to my favorites playlist. This is incredible 😂

How do you make everyone look so pretty?!?! These are literally block men, like how!?

oh my god the frames and the way the items are used is gorgeous!! I love the expressions and OH MY GOD 0:54!!! The Third Life(?) reference was so cool!!!! I also love how everyone has a heart on their design!

DUUUUUUDE!!! THIS IS AMAZING! I've seen some high quality minecraft animatics before, but this art style is GORGEOUS!!! And there's so much personality behind everything; the facial expressions, the body language, it's all so fitting for each person!!! And it's so long!!!! Like, I kept expecting the video to end at various points, cause usually minecraft animatics aren't that long, especially high quality ones, but this just kept going!!! This is phenomenal!! Quite possibly the best minecraft animatic I've ever seen!

Mumbo only needed to make 3 puns in 5 minutes and he committed to the bit

oh my oh my this is such an incredible work u've done here!! the style and characters designs absolutely lovely!!! thank u so much!!

THIS IS SO GOOD. i love the flash to the last life scene with the pick and the gifting of hearts. and your style&design choices are also so nice!!! 10/10 animatic

I love how groan is always short

At first I thought scar and scott were really similar looking but its more than made up for in how different their expressions and actions are, they look great!

Dude I love the art style, the character designs, movements, everything! This entire video is just amazing!

I love how everyone makes Grian cute and tiny in Animatics

I love that Scott looks absolutely fabulous

You do an amazing job on your animatics everytime! I love that the movements can be seen without a bunch of frames. You can really see the intent and emotion of the lines too. Beautiful art.

Gosh i love how expressive everyone always is in your videos. Absolute treat to watch.

THE WAY I HAD TO PAUSE AND MY JAW DROPPED AT THE SPLIT SECOND REFERENCE TO LAST LIFE.

They are SO flirty in this animation but it somehow makes it even funnier!

your art and animations are so insane i cant the text on mumbos task (so true), the expressions and body language, thE LAST LIFE REFERENCE OMG, your designs for everybody, also i love that little bit where grian does the lever thing and how you visualised it, the moon is (not :() big, you drew scott so pretty i literally gasped when he appeared, the way you animated heart gifting is so cool, also im really obsessed with scar here 3:51 , again the body language and expressions are just. so peak of everything sorry for the rant. cool animatic i like it

I LOVE THIS!! such a gorgeous artstyle!!! So expressive and alive!!! :D

Love the “moon’s not big”, this entire animatic is amazing

This animatic singlehandedly earned my subscription.

Oh my gosh, these expressions are TOO GOOD! This has got to be the best part of that whole session and this animatic has made it even better 💜 Love this so much Edit: I almost forgot! You have 100% earned a new sub from me

this is amazing!! I didn't see the interaction with scott (although i saw the moment he talked about), i really need to watch more ppl dont i

"Moon's not big" that cracked me up omg

I like how everytime Mumbo was in the life series he had some jokes with Grian

I adore this SO MUCH The characters and art is incredible... it's so cute And the expressions... everything about this is amazing

I JUST WANT TO SAY THIS ANIMATIC IS SO INSPIRING!!! The amount of EXPRESSION you crammed into this thing is amazing; I love your not overly complex but distinctive designs; THE LAST LIFE REFERENCE WAS DONE SO WELL; this is a very long animatic for its quality... Adore this-

I love all the little details in the background like the "moons not big"

i love how mumbo is drawn to IRL scale!!

Oh Scotts design in your artstyle is *delicious*

No matter how many times I see this scene, I never get tired of it XD Also your Art is gorgeous! Absolutely love this vid! Much love!

This captures the Mumbo-Grain bromance spectacularly

AGHHH THE LAST LIFE REFERENCE IM NOT OKAY

THE 1:51 bit with Joel was so cute!

2:36 Scott looks absolutely amazing! Love the animatic

The fact that they expected scar to be the first one to lose and in the end scar won was amazing.

scott is giving 'father when can I go out on my ownnnnn I've got the whole world to see" vibes in his entrance 😭

this is so well drawn haha one of my absolute favorite moments from all the life series

Excellent animation work, so many great expressions and adapting their silliness to look more natural, phenomenal job!

I love how you draw them all. Especially Scott.

IM DROOLING AT THIS! I love the 'i think its last life' flash so i went back to look at it 🥺🥺🥺
