LITTLE SOLDIER BOY | DREAM SMP ANIMATIC 

Absolutely incredible! Took one of my favourite songs and applied perfectly to the SMP! Amazing work!

the line wilbur said "i miss philza...i wonder if he'll be proud of me" HITS after realizing that in this animatic phil favored techno and how much it affected wilbur mentally.

I think if Technoblade saw this he would accept the family canon... it's just so emotionally charged...

Well. Farewell little soldier boy. I will forever miss Techno.

the DETAILS like henry and philza having all the hearts on him and the fact that phil does everything that his children do like play the guitar and swordfight

So you're telling me that Wilbur learnt how to play Phil's guitar by his own because he wanted some attention and make him feel proud, but instead he felt abandoned and took his own chaotic road and couldn't handle the dissapointed look of his father when he blew up L'mamberg so that's why he asked him to kill him? I'm not crying. It's just that my heart broke and it's dropping. [Edit] Okay so now it's worse because I wanted to say "OH! IT IS" but because I edited the comment now the heart is gone.

Seeing wilbur crying when fundy his own son burn the flag that represented the Country that was fought hard for hurt me

This hits different after Tommy’s and Techno’s argument.

This is incredible, just absolutely amazing The subtle showing of Phil’s favoritism of Techno over Wilbur and how that affected Wilbur’s need for approval How the family slowly drifts apart over time Referencing Tommy idolizing Wilbur and being excited to join in the revolution with him, only to slowly see how Wilbur changes and realizing that things aren’t the same as before It’s just- it fills me with so much emotions and it’s AMAZING

Philza's sons: One is exiled Another is wanted And the other one is dead

a few extra thoughts on this based on recent events. first, the attention to the bright blue of Tommy's eyes just wrecks me after seeing them drain in color during his exile. It really solidifies the first scene or so as a happier time in the past, before thr whole mess that is thr present. second, techno always had that bloodlust, and this falls in nicely with the recent development that he hears voices in his head that demand blood. So if he still had the bloodthirsty voices when he was very young, imagine how scary that must be for him and for his family.

Tommy: the smallest and jealous of his older brothers Techno: The one who stayed with his father who taught him pvp Wilbur: the one who’s dreams fell apart had a tough life and died first (Sad)

You added the "I miss Philza, I wonder if he'd be proud of me" line oh my god I'm sobbing

the use of the different audio clips bROKE MY HEART- ESPECIALLY with the story you told of them growing up and getting older. also how you wrote the lyrics on the wall all jumbled and overlapping really emphasized Wilbur’s insanity. GHOSTBUR AT THE END BROKE MY HEART FOR SOME REASON TOO. you’re just so talented, you’re art, and use of background colors

This hurts more now that Techno is gone

Seeing Techno defend Wilbur when he was so young really adds to his backstory. It makes him feel like more of a fighting prodigy which adds to why Phil would have given him more attention than Wilbur. This is incredibly well made and definitely makes me feel sad.

Wait- i actually just love the detail of Technoblade's hairtie being a crown ;-;

It looks like wilbur blew it up bc of the fact that he was alone Tommy had tubbo Techno had phil But wilbur was all alone

I love how this shows how hard Wilbur's life was. When he was young, his dad gave him as much attention as he needed (and that carried onto with Wilbur when he had his son). When Wilbur left, things looked up for him, but it never lasted. He spent the rest of his life in despair and grief over what he lost. And it ended with his father cradling him as he slowly died. So sad...

The next generation and the future ones will ask us why we felt this hard.. And I can only respond with “Suck it, Green Boi! You didn’t saw what I saw”

Techno's eyes going black if a fun detail. Blood For The Blood God

"You couldn't just win" I'm not crying your crying

3 years passed. Coming back to my favorite animatic of all time to cry again❤

oh i have been Waiting for this

My cup is now full of tears

This Hits Even Harder. A Year After What Happened.

This hit hard before…Now it hits 10x harder

This was so wholesome and then it shattered my heart- Seriously though, I really enjoyed all the family interactions. I also really liked the Techno characterization, with how he defends Wilbur and then lets Tommy drag him into a war that's "not his own." It's so rare to see good brother energy coming from Techno in the animatics. And the brief snippet of Phil accidentally ignoring Wilbur broke my heart right in two. This was so good!

"My little soldier boy, I need you home." paired with it panning down to Phil holding Wilbur's body? Cinematic poetry.

"My little soldier boy, i need you home" 🥺

Me: *see's Dream SMP Animitic* Also me: *getting ready to fucking cry*

*THEORIES AS TO WHY THE KIDS ARE THE WAY THEY ARE* Technoblade: He developed a feeling of bloodlust after protecting Tommy (in the animatic) from some bad mobs, he probably didn’t tell Ph1lza this but Phil figured out later on and didn’t mention it, because he *raised* Techno this way, (included in animatic) he raises Techno to be adventurous, free-spirited, and blood-hungry. Wilbur: Phil has always preferred Techno in some sense for whatever reason, that’s why I think Wilbur always strives for Phil’s approval, of course that led him to become a people-pleaser and wish to impress everyone (why do you think he try’s to get Phil to kill him) Tommy: A comment that I agree with typed that Phil probably adventured with Techno and left Wilbur to raise Tommy, I don’t think Will would be great at raising a kid and Tommy grew up like *this*, I’m not saying Phil’s a bad parent it’s just not a healthy living space. Tubbo: Phil adopted Tubbo, (something you all forget) Tubbo probably felt left out a lot of the time because everyone forgets him, this caused him to be mature at a young age (it’s not always a good thing) and be okay with being forgotten by everyone, (everyone except Tommy of course) but it’s *still not* okay for a kid to be raised like that! (I headcannon Tubbo was there way later in the family dynamic) Edit: For Wilbur’s part I wasn’t clear enough, I don’t think he can handle Phil being that disappointed in him which is a factor as to why (among others) he wanted Phil to kill him. Edit #2: Wilbur also grew up being independent, I headcannoned that he raised Tommy by himself after all. Edit #3: Because I headcannon Techno to grow up blood-hungry I feel as though he has a hard time trusting others and showing he cares or just dealing with emotions/feelings Edit #4: Due to wanting to Techno wanting to protect his younger brothers he and Phil had left the house a lot so Phil could train Techno Edit #5: Techno protected Wilbur Edit #5: Phil helps Techno with the voices he has, (the chat)

i dont know if im the only one but, what if ghostbur remembers how he kind of raised and took care of tommy. i have this theory that Phil went on adventures with techno and he kept leaving Wilbur to take care of tommy. and I just want there to be a moment where wills like "i raised tommy, my younger brother while you played favorites with techno!" like that would be awesome. also i really love your art style!

Just saw new Technodad merch and I'm crying, and coming back here again. This is so beautiful dude

This animation just gave me an idea about Technos pink hair. He had lighter brown or blond hair like Tommy or Will. However, after saving Tommy and getting covered in blood, his hair also got pretty bloody. He and Phil tried multiple times to wash it out, but it got stained pink. He liked the look and continues to dye it pink.

i just realized, the sleepy bois inc family dynamic... techno got betrayed by both his brothers

the character analysis in this is BRILLIANT and i cant get over it- lets go over the series of events we are shown here. philza favorites tommy and techno over wilbur, then wilbur’s wife abandons him and his son, then he is exiled from the land he freed, then his son disowns him- burns the flag of the land he freed to give his son a good life, a happy life. it is a series of backstab after backstab. can you blame wilbur for being paranoid in the end? for believing maybe, if it had happened so many times, that schlatt is a better leader? that tommy will abandon him too? that its better to end everything himself than be hurt again? i am going MAD from this art and storytelling

I just rewatched avatar and caught up to the story of the smp and this hit harder than technos orphan obliterater when he sees children

I was obsessed with this a year ago when it came out. I came back to it since it’s such a masterpiece. I love this. Thank you for your talents.

This is like one of the most wholesome and heart warming animatics I have ever seen. My haaaaart my haaart

woah this was so good!!

this hits different now...

goodbye soldier boy

How dare you trick me on thinking this would be a fluffy animatic then crushing my heart. This is so good!

Me: Oh look another animatic “Leaves-” Not crying not crying not crying

MY HEART IS 💔S H A T T E R E D💔 THIS ANIMATIC WAS SO AMAZING SERIOUSLY ;-;

I miss him…

let’s say this is apart of the backstory of Wilbur, then what lead to him going crazy was also the fact of he was trying so hard to get his “father’s attention, so when he had lost the one thing he was proud of that his father could be proud of him, he just lost it. After years of trying that was his final straw and breaking point. In his final moments, he just wanted to end the pain of feeling like a failure to his father’s eyes even though that is most definitely not what Philza thought. But in reality, Philza was probably so proud of him all that time without Wilbur realizing it, and that’s why he was so hurt and sad that he had to see his son like that and kill him. Maybe in order for Ghostbur to be able to be at peace, he has to come to terms that he wasn’t the best person towards the end and no matter how much he thought everyone was disappointed in him, that was never the case. And to come to terms that he was always good enough. Which makes sense why Wilbur would tease Tommy because what if Wilbur was afraid that Tommy would be more loved by the people than him which is why he told Tommy “you will never be president” to help his own self esteem and to put down Tommy so he can feel like he is better of the two. Sorry for that rant 😅😅 this was beautiful

There once was a family, A father and three sons. They lived happily, one day the youngest went on a n adventure to a far away land, they waited. Then the Middle followed soon to catch up with him, they waited. When the news came that they needed help the Eldest came, he waited. One descended into chaos and none of them where able to stop him, not even the father. They still wait, for their turn Obscurit I’m legit crying this was pog as hell I love You

I keep watching this. Everything is just so emotional -- from music to visuals, everything that is being portrayed here, it's perfect. I also love how Techno's eye was teary when he hugged Wilbur after saving him, like, it shows that he was but a child -- scared and worried; he had to do what he had to do to protect Wilbur.

It hurts to watch this with technos new video

The story if you watch without context: Phil Favored Techno over Wilbur so Wilbur thought he always needed approval, Wilbur after the election and after losing what he thought was his approval went mad and came crawling back to techno, while techno was spending years training. All the while Tommy is trying to keep the family together and to show his brothers that he is as good as them. And Wilbur went so mad and was tearing the family apart so Phil had to put a stop and kill wilbur.

My mom asked why i was crying and I had to say I stubbed my toe- "I miss Philza. I wonder if he'd be proud of me" that has me sobbing

this actully get more sad now that tommy died.

Seeing Philza at the table by himself made me tear up a little. I really like the graphics and the song, very well done

everyone who's watched Avatar cried-

Oookay I'll just be over here crying I guess. When you showed Phil saying "I need you home" it just hit me in the heart man. You're so good at portraying emotions that you can clearly see how the character is feeling. Like when Wilbur sees Fundy burning the flag you can see the heartbreak on his face. This whole thing is just amazing beyond words.

This is by far my favorite sleepy boys inc animatic

oh fuck listening to this after Tommy died is breaking my heart

God as a middle child I resonate with this Wilbur so much. All I can think of is that part of wilbur’s anger and wanting to press the button at the end was just to get Philza’s attention. As a middle child your ignored a bit more on accident a lot. And this Wilbur would’ve seen himself as weak compared to Phil and Techno. And then Tommy has so much energy, a close friend, and done so much. Wilbur had l’manberg but lost that too. He’s been alone, he just wanted his dad to hold him one last time. His dying wish. Also! This playing into the whole abandoning Fundy thing. Wilbur wasn’t really sure how to properly raise a kid because Wilbur probably grew up pretty independent. Shown by him leaving home even before big bro Techno. (And the uh accidentally being ignored) so when he had his own kid he probably thought Fundy would be alright without him. Just like he was with Philza.

Have yall notice how much dream has interacted with the 3 brothers He exiled tommy and is currently breaking him down slowly, emotionally controlled and manipulated Wilbur into blowing up L'manburg and getting killed by his own father, and had a duel with techno. And if my theory is true where the prison dream is building is for techno and Philza then its like he is going after the whole family.

😔😔😭 We will always miss technoblade

This is hands-down one of my favorite animatics, none of the others hit quite like this one does. I love your style, I live for it. I love the expressions, I love the family dynamic, I love all of it so much man. I've seen so many animatics, but none have stolen my heart like this one.

Phil and his family: Techno, Wilbur and Tommy Wilbur is dead Tommy is exiled Techno is far away, lost in the snowy woods He has no one left

Holy shit im crying, its all amazing, the art and details of their eyes, the clothing and background make me smile yet the music with the way everything works, Philza alone home missing his Boys while theyre at war makes me emotional

I love this, it’s so amazing & just 10/10 And GUYS DONT JUST COMMENT “Here before Eret comments” ACTUALLY TELL THE PERSON HOW GOOD THE ANIMATIC IS

ALL OF YOUR ANIMATONS HIT MY FEELINS LIKE A GODDAMN TRUCK AND I DONT KKNOW HOW TO DEAL

OH THAT HURT BUT IT WAS SO GOOD

Little soldier boy? More like Lil' Soulja boy

This made me cry 8 times, wilbur dsmp story really suits me as a person

This hits different now that Tommy is dead....

im sorry to everyone else but this is officially my favorite animatic

I'm so excited oh my god it's gonna be so good.

The little Tommy in the beginning hugging Phil- Oh my gosh my heart T-T

i was already gonna cry just bc of the atla song but the fact that techno is actually gone now makes this sm more emotional

instead of Wilbur taking care of Tommy, Tommy took care of wilbur.

This is just a Minecraft role play, but this is also a heartfelt story told through the minds and perspectives of so many people. It’s about family bonds and feeling as though you’ve lost everything at once so many times. It’s about change and the thought process of the people doing the changing. We like to laugh at the weird Amazon rainforest mess that is this family tree, but we forget to think about how complicated and heartbreaking that must be. You are bound to be betrayed by a loved one, no matter how close or far apart you are, because in the end you have all been family at one point or another. Friendships have shifted and fallen apart along with this nation, and my god do I love every second of it. Pog through the pain, L’manburg still remains.

THEY SAY YOU CAN AND SHOULD POG THROUGH THE PAIN, BUT THIS IS NOT THE KIND OF PAIN THAT YOU CAN POG THROUGH-

This hits differently after techno's death...

The one thing that hurt me the most This is Uncle Iroh’s song to his son. Jokes aside this was a good animatic! The way you showed Philza’s favoritisms and how Wilbur slowly lost it because of it, is amazing! There is also someone else in the comments who talked about this in better details and I agree with her. The art style was great! Keep it up! Also, stay healthy and wash your hands.

YOOO YOU SAID THIS WASNT SAD DW ABT IT. WHAT HAPPEND?? lol honestly this is a great animatic, good job bro.

Putting aside the avatar flashbacks the song gave me, it was beautiful.

“Happy birthday my son….if only I can help you…”

why do i want eret to actually see this ;w;' he sees alot of animatics so he i feel like would be the easiest one to see this

Oh my God the parallels... This is canon now. You can't change my mind.

Leaves from the vine Falling so slow Like fragile tiny shells Drifting in the foam Little soldier boy Come marching home Brave soldier boy Come marching home Ash in the snow Falling so slow Like fragile broken hearts with no place to go Little soldier boy Taken from home Forced to fight a war That was not his own Little soldier boy Cold and alone Brave soldier boy Never made it home Leaves from the vine Changing so slow Like empty fallen souls Looking for a home Little soldier boy Thought he could soar Brave soldier boy Fallen in the war My little soldier boy I need you home Brave soldier boy Come marching home

(This turned into a whole story summary with the idea that they were all raised together in mind. It explains why they did what they did. I JUST LOVE THE DRAMA THIS WOULD CAUSE IN THE STORY) My little Headcannon of this story is that Philza raised Techno, Tommy, Wilbur, and maybe Tubbo and one day when that all left the nest(heh) Wilbur and Techno went on their own. Tommy and Tubbo started to live in The Dream SMP, and had the disc war, because as a kid Tommy was a troublemaker and it bit him in the butt when he came to another part of the world where he would not be tolerated. Tubbo, wanting to help his, kinda brother, helped in the Disc War. Then when Wilbur moved in, they started L'Manburg and Tommy and Tubbo sided with their brother. When They were Banished they decided to Call their brother, Technoblade, who had made a name for himself as THE best Fighter in the world, while gaining a healthy hatred of government during that time. During all of this Wilbur started to have a declining mental state, and eventually agreed with Technoblade to destroy L'Manburg. Philza heard about the war and goes to see his Adopted kids, when he finds Wilbur making his Speech to himself about how L'Manburg was meant to be destroyed. While this is happening, Technoblade is having his Anarchist Speech, because he doesn't trust Tubbo, or maybe Tubbo wasn't raised with them as I thought (IDK). Everything happens and afterwards out of guilt, Technoblade goes into retirement, to atone for destroying what his brother liked so much, or something. I am Lazy so you can continue this story on your own

"Brothers. Forged in blood" oh my god it broke my heart :(

I think I just went through the five stages of grief in 3 minutes and 18 seconds I will now be passing away

THE FLASHBACKS TO RHAT ONE AVATER THE LAST AIRBENDER MAKES ME CRY!!!

This video is perfect! It shows the past of Wilbur, his decline into insanity (somewhat), and his final moments with Phil

Wow okay just rip my heart out and stamp on it, god that "I wonder if he'd be proud of me" got me

When you want to cry but you can’t because you have mascara on: *internal screaming*

I can’t believe it but I’m sobbing over a freaking Minecraft role-play.

I love how this shows how many times Wilbur was ignored or betrayed. It’s so sad and I love it!

Lmao this is such a good backstory posibility, it would explain everything

AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER VIBES? am i right chat leaves from the the vine falling so slow sand by iroh for his son lu ten

congratulations youve taken the two fandoms that are carrying my ability to feel emotion through this time of hardship of mine and made something beautiful, thank you

so sweet and so sad at the same time, it fits the family dynamic perfectly

YESSSSS YE E S S S S S S S S S S S S S S
