PIKMIN Short Movies - Occupational Hazards- Nintendo 

9:55 the detail on this scene is on the 7 on the end of the value, because on Pikmin 2, when you are exploring underground areas you can use dead creatures to extract money and the Bulborb's value is 7 pokos (coins) in the actually game, this brings smile to my face!

olimars frantic whistling at 9:28 to try and get the pikmin out of danger is one of the most relatable things in this short movie

Love the detail of the frantic whistling as the backho collapses. Nearly every pikmin player has had that moment

With the success of the Super Mario Bros movie, I really, really hope that Pikmin will be made into a feature length film. They could be the more charming version of the minions in a way. And if Nintendo sticks with Illumination, they would have experience animating little creatures that speak gibberish and get into antics with one another.

i would absolutely love a tv series like this. it doesnt even have to be long. the more good pikmin content the better

The white Pikmin practically cursing out the others has to be one of my favorite parts lol

I'd pay a premium for a Pikmin movie. Just an hour of this would be amazing.

2:00 this whole white pikmin getting mad and then being launch nearly ended me. I cant be laughing this loud at work 🤣🤣

White pikmin: fly away Olimar: oh no, anyways

2:05 White Pikmin: gets sent into the stratosphere Olimar: Okay, let’s just ignore that.

i've never had this feeling of protecting pikmin at all cost so bad, they're just too adorable

The reason its price is 10000000000 and 7 coins is because the crane itself is 10000000000, but in the game a bulblorb (mushroom monster) is worth 7 coins. Nice little detail.

Bulborbs are Handsized, they would be perfect for petting if they existed.

There’s gore, death, accidental homicide, pillaging of endangered species and drug use all in this one, 12 minutes Nintendo video

This is the funniest pikmin short by far. White pikmin goes on a rampage, dust Mario pikmin, bulborb stubs it’s toe(s), and the expressions on the pikmin are just so cute and hilarious

This a great animated short, but I didn't expect them to have several brutal Pikmin deaths in it! I know it's part of the game, but seeing each of the Pikmin's individual personality in an animated short makes the deaths that much more shocking! (literally in one of the deaths)

Pixar: we make the best 3D animations Nintendo: are you sure about that

Olimar be here like: “Oh she passed away?” “Awww” “Ohhh” “Alright”

I love the rapid whistle to call up back in an emergency. Very accurate

Man if Nintendo was smart they would have put this short in front of the Mario movie

2:30 RIP random blue Pikmin, died for our entertainment

White Pikmin launches into air Olimar: Oh no... *Anyway*

I am shocked Nintendo never tried to make this a 3D animated series. I think the children would love it and us long time Pikmin fans who have kids.

There are a total of 4 onscreen deaths in this film, 3 being Pikmin, and 1 Bulborb. Two blue Pikmin are killed, 1 via electrocution, the other by predation from the Bulborb, as same with the red Pikmin. The White Pikmin is fine, as its shown that Pikmin don't take fall damage, nor do they do in-game, but in this case, due to their unique petal parachute ability. So no, I won't be counting that. However, the number of Pikmin appear to be cut short by the end, suggesting that a large majority were lost during the collapse of the machinery. If I assume right, additionally, the Fiery Blowhog was situated right underneath the crane, and the yellow Pikmin in that electrified formation deep within the machine. Because of the lack of distance of Olimar's whistle, and the Fiery Blow Hog being *right underneath* the crane and in a weakened state, they can be counted as assumed casualties, adding an additional 25 deaths, or 29 so far. Though I'm not dedicated enough to count each and every Pikmin, (although I might in the future), we can easily see from a glance that there are WAY more than the standard cap of 100 Pikmin working on this sight. More like a few hundred, but not a thousand. By the end of the film, there are 8 Pikmin standing around the deceased Bulborb, and another 22 standing with Olimar. So 30 in total. If my assumption is correct, then HUNDREDS OF PIKMIN WERE LOST. Good lord, Olimar lost a whole playthroughs worth of Pikmin in a single incident! That machine probably flattened the poor things. You got that many Pokos, sure, but at the cost of decimating like 75% percent, if not more of the Pikmin population that he cultivated.

Nintendo: “All of our content is kid friendly!” Also pikmin: *Brutally tear off the flesh of a bulborb*

The Pikmin language consists of -ne -ow -hu -na -wa -no -pikuhmen -AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA -brrrrrr -woomy -**death noises** -illustrations

9:29 the constant whistle blows is the truest part of this entire short

1:54 As the white pikmin, I took that personally

Love how they all go “ BEAT HIS A**” towards the end lmao.

I don’t want to imagine what the corpse looked like .__.

I love how with the censoring of the bulborb it’s implied that the pikmin did something so gruesome that it had to be bleeped out

These shorts gave me a greater appreciation for the Pikmin, in the games they just seem really lifeless but here they have so much personality

Me: “am I really watching a kids show right now?” *pikmin gets brutally chomped to death*

i love how accurately they portray the game experience. so many pikmin die by doing something stupid without being told. no blue dont touch that *dead* no white stay there *dead* yellow get out of there *dead* run for your life red *dead*

I want pikmin animated cartoon NOW!!!!!!

I remember watching These a few years back. Now that I’ve finally gotten the chance to play Pikmin I enjoy these more.

Oh my god the Mario reference in Pikmin short is so cute!

9:32 The fact that they had to censor that scares me.

this short became the top 3 most viewed video on the youtube channel

The bulborb stubbing its toe, my reaction: relatable

A cool fun fact about these shorts is that Miyamoto storyboarded them using Flipnote Studios

2:52 That Super Mario reference was the best!!

I still really love how they incorporated the in game sound track to this animation, it's so cool knowing how certain songs are used in game and seeing them used the same way here

The fact that he had more then 100 out is so intense

I kinda hope bulborbs can eat while running in spicy burrito mode now

This is like looney tunes but people die when they are killed. I NEED MORE OF THIS

7:59 this gives me joy when I’m stressed

I’ve watched this about a hundred times. They should make another one of these but with the new pikmin types

2:00 White Pikmin: **Gets shot into the stratosphere** Olimar: Oh no! Anyway...

10:03 This should have been one of Olimar's victory poses in Smash tbh...

4:48 “wiieeeeee!!! :D”

These characters are so cute! What a creative storyline as well. And the Super Mario part was perfect. I hope they make a full movie of these characters!

10:02 Should SERIOUSLY be a victory animation for Olimar in Smash Bros.

When Olimar opened his eyes, I felt that fear on a spiritual level

This short is proof of why I think Pikmin would absolutely work as Nintendo and Illumination's next animated movie.

We need more Pikmin animations, they are so good

Lol Imagine paying for short films This post was made by switch era gang

Now THIS is what we need during covid.

Wish they made more of these for Pikmin 4, 3 was not enough

I love the fact that they’ve given the Bulborb it’s own personality too

White pikmin gets launched into orbit. Olimar: Well, that happened.

2:54 IT A ME! PIKMINO!

that mario joke in those pipes made me laugh

Isn’t weird how the blue pikmin suffer more than the others?

2:30 Well, that got dark quickly

I would kill for a Nintendo animated series that has little shorts like these for Pikmin and other franchises.

Ok I’m now convinced. We need a Pikmin movie

This makes me want a movie😂 It’s taken me so long to appreciate Pikmin, but I finally do

5:45 master hand not letting bulborb in smash bros 2018 colorised

2:30 bro they straight up killed him 😨

I love the moment where the pikmin comes out as Mario

you have to wonder how regularly hocotate freight sends olimar back to earth to do stuff like this

My personal headcanon is that pikmin souls move on from one host to another since their lives are so expendable. I also have it as a coping mechanism for whenever they die

"NOTE: No real Pikmin were harmed during the filming of these movies." ... Except for that Bulborb, it's 100% dead.

7:49 Why was this so sad😭

2 years later, mud is now an actual hazard

Olimar spamming the whistle at 9:27 is the most relatable thing as a pikmin player.

4:16 anybody realize that the red pikmin that ended up holding the white pikmin yelled “no” Also pay attention to the red that’s on the pile through the entire scene, he just starts laughing, and that’s a detail I doubt many people noticed and that comes to show how much the animators cared about this, also throughout all the shorts you can find MANY background or non noticed expressions or detail that barely any people noticed, wow they really did care

the fact that the idea of an excavator becoming a level in pikmin HASN'T been done after this is a crime

2:50-2:57 love the Mario reference 😆

Can we talk about the censored half-eaten Bulborb body?

I wish this played before the Mario Movie...

We need more of this. If Shigeru Miyamoto has more time can he make more of these?

This is Oscar-worthy, I'm not joking.

This is why you can't hate the Pikmin. This short is just an overload of adorable.

I LOVE how this art style looks so much. I love the blend of realism and stylized. I would kill for a Pikmin movie with this look.

That little thing the pikmin did with the glove was funny lol

6:33 as someone who almost broke their pinky toe by stubbing it against a wall while WALKING SLOWLY I can relate to this Bulborb on a spiritual level

this is easily the best of the shorts, it has so much detail and expression, as well as a fully fleshed out plot, its really a joy to watch

If you think about it, Yellow pikmin were responsible for any deaths in this episofe

I love the pikmin 2 reference at the end

I paid 5 dollars for these. I don’t regret it. These are great.

7:40 Can we just talk about how BRUTAL that death was? Poor red pikmin wasn't dead until its stem was spat out! He felt each and every bite of the bulborb that vored it!!!

who knew that White Pikmin poison is not just poison it is straight up acid!

“It’s just a prank bro” The prank: 4:12

9:29 if you havent used the whistle like that in a Pikmin game, you aren't a true Pikmin fan.

2:01 I no longer see why it is so hard to escape the planet if they can just get some purple pikmin to launch them out of the atmosphere. If olimar or the koppaites ever get stranded on the planet again, they should try this strategy to save time.

Remeber when we had to pay for these

i love this

jeez that part where the pikmins are brutally tearing down the flesh of that animal and they even had to censor it is so disturbing
