"Times Are Hard For Dreamers" ANIMATIC -- Amélie the Musical 

OK HOLD ON!!! DID MIRANDA PLA JUST MAKE AN AMELIE ANIMATIC USING THE LONDON PRODUCTION WITH AUDREY'S FRENCH ACCENT????? CAUSE I'M LIVING FOR IT RN!!!

Miranda: Uses colour in an animatic Me: Wait, that's illegal- jk, I love the way the black and white alternates, and that ocean scene was AMAZING. Another awesome story-telling animatic as always

THIS IS LEGITIMATELY SO STUNNING SHSHDHJFG YOU REALLY KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK THIS TIME WOW

the reason why i love the london production is bc it's so honest and true from its source material???? and wow thank u miranda for making this 😭😭😭

Who cares about statistics all I wanna do is watch this glorious video. Its so beautifully done, the shading, the tone, the lighting, the color, the movement all blow me away. I adore this.

I feel like whenever there's color on screen, that means we're diving in to Amelie's imagination and dreams. That doesn't mean that the scene where she swings on the laundry lines are fake, it's just her filled with dreams and enthusiatism. So, in the ocean scene, we saw Nino float in a boat in the eye of a hurricane in search of Amelie. Let me remind you that this scene is fully in Amelie's imagination, which means she does think about Nino every time, and she's fully aware of him searching for her feverishly, as shown in the hurricane scene. Then why is Amelie running from Nino, even though she knew by heart that she loves him and he is miserably searching for her? (I didn't know much about the musical, this analysis is only based on the animatic, if anyone who knows better pls explain it to me, majestic animatic btw)

THE COLORS???? IM BLOWN AWAY!!! AND THAT WHOLE LAST SEQUENCE WITH THE LAUNDRY LINES AND SPRAY PAINT CAN!!!! SO GOOD!

YESYESYESYESYES MIRANDA??!!?!? AND AMELIE?!!?!?! REALLY COMING FOR MY HEART HERE AFTER MAD ONES HUH?!?!?!?!

So glad I am learning about a London production of Amélie; the accent and just overall talent of this Amélie is so interesting. Also, fantastic art and direction as usual. Congrats on the collaboration/spon EDIT: I am terrible and fixed the accent on Amélie which originally I had wrong as Amelié. It’s right in the title, past me!

OH MY GOSH THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN I IMAGINED IT TO BE!!! You've opened up another layer to this song that I never realized it had. I mean, I've always felt that underneath all her wonder and love for life and making other people happy, she was afraid of hoping for the same for herself. Watching your animatic, especially in the dream sequence with her and Nino, I realized that this song is not just an exposition of her character; it could also be an I-want song! She's a dreamer, yes, but your interpretation showed me that she may not be as confident of a dreamer as she wants to be. It almost seems like she's convincing herself that, "Hey, you're fine where you are, as you are! You don't need anything or anyone more. You're perfectly fine on your own," even if, deep down, she really does long for company and something more. I've always related to Amelie very deeply, especially with this aspect of her that is so giving but is scared of receiving love from other people. I personally think that she feels disconnected from people and is content with being the masked mystery hero from the sidelines, but that she also wants to be seen and loved by someone. Maybe I'm projecting, but I think my interpretation isn't too far from yours so 😅 I thought I'd only see this level of nuance in "Halfway" and in "Stay," but you've proven that it already starts emerging in fits and bursts in this very exposition song. You made so many clever choices, I'm kinda reeling rn hahahaha Sorry this got so long hehehe I got quite carried away 😅 I'm just so floored by your creativity and artistic intuition and vision, I can't help but gush about it! Looking forward to more animatics from you! (and if you're thinking of making more Amelie content and need ideas, I'd actually really love to see you interpret "When the Booth Goes Bright" "Halfway" and "Stay", but only if you're up for it!) Thank you for this lovely content. It has made my week!

Miranda is really here just creating quality content for lesser known musicals and jump starting entire fandoms now isn’t she

Guy: Where could she be? Girl, sliding down a laundry line: WHEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Genuinely something that was so stunning in this was the use of angles for the faces, the shear amount of them and the range of them were absolutely gorgeous. I also loved the small, minute details that so quickly pass by that reference the musical (and movie!) I hadn’t listened to this cast before, but I absolutely will now...anyway, this was stunning, you always somehow manage to out best perfection. The scenes of the zip lining on the laundry line and the boat (WITH HER CAT AS A SAILOR, IT WAS PERFECTION) were so beautiful!! The color palate was also gorgeous, they were so lovely, also like a children’s book, and that fits so well with the boat scene!

Awwwwww what a sweet song

aHHH this is my favourite musical- i dont think i’ve ever seen content from it. this is just beautiful

Oh my god I love the transistion! The way it goes from colored to black ans white is amaxing! The various backgrounds are awesome too like holy fuck op

omgggg i love it

I think I have an obsession. I've rewatched your animations at least to the double digits because of how amazing and smooth they are. Having to put a lot of work into every frame makes it really special 💖💖💖 good job!

AMELIE!! MIRANDA TYSM FOR ALWAYS MAKING SUCH GORGEOUS ANIMATICS

This was awesome I now want to know more about the play

Miranda Pla has this way of making someone become thouroughly invested in the story of a musical with a single animatic. I genuinely hope the sponsorships keep going and she keeps showing youtube some great musicals.

We have been blessed by another Miranda animatic

Omggg! I love Amelie! So surprised and happy to find out it had a musical!

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. I FEEL LIKE FLYING

IVE BEEN SO EXCITED FOR THIS OH MY GOD

This animatic is tugging my heartstrings! The moment the colors crept in, and then the moment you show us Amelie and Nino in the window and I was instantly like, "No you didnt!" It's incredible how you capture the heart of not just the song but the entire piece through this animatic. I'm seriously considering if movie adaptations of musicals should all just be animated now. Cant wait to see what you create next!

Amelie really did that parkour

MY FAVORITE MUSICAL! I LOVE THIS MUSICAL SO MUCH IVE KNOWN IT FOR SO LONG MY NAME IS AMELIE YHIS IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!

Awwww her French accent is the cutest thing ever XD

0:38 IS THAT THE IMAGES OF ORPHEUS AND EURYDICE, I'm not sure who the others are but Orpheus and Eurydice are on the right

SHE’S BACK AGAIN! THIS IS GORGEOUS!

This is legit the earliest I’ve ever been to a video, and what a video it is!

WOOOOOO ANOTHER ONE OF THESE INCREDIBLE ANIMATICS HELL YEAHOHMY GOD I LOVE HTIS SO MUCHCCCCC

Yeaaasssssss!!! 😍😍 Hoping for 'when the booths goes brights'

You introducing me to all the Broadways! I love you so much!!

Does anyone else get excited when they see a certain frame, stop it, and admire it in pure shock and awe? Cuz I sure do.

This is awesome!

You can just see her desperation written all over and her trying to be happy in a mundane world and a a complicated situation.

Welp, you've done it again...introduced me to another musical I'm going to have to go obsess over now.

HELL YEAAAA

The amount of effort in this animatic is amazing!!!! I don't know what it is about the London version of this musical but I just find the cast more interesting with how they portray the characters, the accents make it sound so much sweeter

Every time Miranda uploads, I audibly gasp from excitement. Her animatics are always so dynamic and interesting!!

Yeah! Go Miranda! Get those sponsors girl!

UK AMÉLIE IM IN LOVE

It’s so beautiful!!! THERE’S COLOR! I have to listen to this musical!!

Art is iconic as usual!!!!!

YESSSSS I HAVE NEEDED SOMEONE TO APPRECIATE THE MAJESTY THAT THIS VERSION OF THE MUSICAL WAS FOR EVER AAAAA- Some backstory. Before the lockdown in the UK this was the last musical/theatre production I saw. I loved it so much seeing it in London and that day and that performance on stage holds a very special place in my mind. I waited for months for the soundtrack for the london production to come out and when I found it a month after it had been released, in September, I was reminded of that time. Thank you so much for this animatic.

Just started the video and I already know this is going to be amazing!

OH MY GOD THIS IS SO COOL

i see those figures in the glass they ain't slick but also! saw this and immediately crossed my fingers that it was uk amelie and i'm so glad that it is! absolutely fantastic

God this is WONDERFUL! Keep up your fantastic work man

How are you spewing out all these animatics with amazing quality in a short amount of time. This is very cute. I love the London production.

Am I getting Paprika vibes from this?? Right at the end when she's jumping from rooftops, I swear it reminds me of Paprika in the absolute best way.

QUEEN giving us the content Don’t overwork yourself ! Thankyouu

PLEASE CONTINUE YOU'RE SO TALENTED !

This is gorgeous! I love how you depict Amelie's imagination through both black and white and color. 2:12 is my favorite shot from this animatic.

I LOVE Pippa but this Amélie just hits different,, And Miranda!! You’ve really outdone yourself for this animatic, it looks wonderful!

Yesss another amazing animatic!!! I love the transitions to color!!

You are so talented- I can't

This is STUNNING, I’m so glad ‘stay’ popped up in my recommended. I won’t go too much into why I love the show but suffice to say hearing stay the first time had me SOBBING

bruh now I want an animatic for this whole musical - this is so good and it's kinda giving junie b. jones vibes, and I grew up reading those books, so that's definitely a plus from me!

IM HERE IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SOOOOOO LOOOOONGGG

THE COLOURS!! YOUR STUFF IS ALWAYS FANTASTIC BUT THIS IS ABOVE STUNNING

OMG! I loooove Amelie and I love your animatics, this is amazing!!

I saw this production of Amelie when they came to my city with Audrey in and she was PHENOMENAL I never thought the Broadway cast recording stood up so this... this is beauty

Thank you for providing us with this art, Miranda.

ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VOICES I EVER HEAR SO TALENTED AUDREY

This gives me so much serotonin, I adore this album and am glad to see it get such beautiful recognition! London Amélie for the absolute win.

You’re animatics are so amazing! I can’t express how truly in awe I am of your work!

This is my favourite musical and you absolutely did it justice with this animatic! Beautiful details too :3

The guy like concentrated in his papers And meanwhile WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

THE USE OF COLOR OH MY GOD. THIS IS BEAUTIFUL

Miranda posts two animatics in one month! This looks amazing and I am sure after I see this musical I will catch many refrences again. It looks amazing with colour!

UPLOADED ONE DAY AGO ZIWKKDWK I AM IM MY AMÉLIE PHASE RIGHT NOW THANK YOU

I love the little French Accent when she sings

I haven’t seen too many Amelie animatics, so this is a welcome addition! Well done!

I love how you use the color! I wasn't expecting my at añl, but it draws an amazing contrast between everyday life and dreams

This is so beautiful and wonderful! Amazing job!

These animatics keep getting more dynamic! they're basically full animations at this point!

OMG ive been obsessed with the uk cast albums these past weeks and ive wanted to see an animatic of it so bad when this ended up in my suggested and my god u did not disappoint. This is so absolutely gorgeous

Seriously why does this not have a million views yet? I swear I've watched it that many times by now!

How are you not blowing up?? This gorgeous animation is like MOVIE QUALITY good!!

I’m commenting so the RU-vid algorithm will boost this into the stars where it belongs

Ok, so I absolutely love this channel, I've been here since the second Hadestown animatic, and I thought that was the best art I've ever seen, and I just went back and watched the first one for the umpteen time, and it's still absolutely gorgeous, but you have had such an improvement and I thought that I'd at least tell you that its noticed ❤❤

I'll watch this once I'm done with class but you just keep making these!! So fast!! My little theater kid heart can't take it

This is so beautiful. I really missed the chance to see Amelie when it was on in London, damn.

Holy catballs this is stunning!!!

Wonderful - such joy! Love your use of colour.

UGH YOUR MIND . So GOOD . WE HAVE BEEN WELL FED 👏👏👏

THANK YOU THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES AND NOBODY KNOWS WHAT IT ISSSSS Edit: I just noticed you used the london cast! Don't get me wrong I love the original cast with Philippa Soo but I like the lndon cast better since it really fits the characters better so good on you!

0:38 pause her and focus on the right image. It's Euridice and Orpheus from Hadestown.

I adore this! Thank you for making it!

This is so good! I'd only heard the american version of this show so hearing a different voice sing with your gorgeous animation added a lovely freshness to this song for me!

MIRANDA you always astound me with how good your art is! I've heard of Amelie, but now I wanna know more! Can't wait to see what's next!

God I hope to sustain this energy for my WHOLE LIFE. This is basically like a grown up Madeleine and I AM SMITTEN

I love this so much! Keep up the good work!

OK YOUR ANIMATICS ARE ALWAYS AMAZING BUT YOU BROUGHT IT TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL WITH THE COLORS OMG

I didn’t know they made a musical of Amélie Poulain! It’s Awesome!

This is so expressive! I love it!

I didn't even know there was an Amelie musical what the heck!!??? This is amazing!!! An absolutely wonderful job!!!!
