Undertale: Bonetrousle | Animated Cover 

I get very cartoony villain twirling his mustache vibes from the music itself. I know everyone is talking about the animation (which is just the most adorable thing ever) but its the music that brings them to LIFE. For the first section, making the main melody be played quietly in the background really helps to set it up. You've got a nice beat going and it sounds like you could hear someone saying 'nya ha ha' at any moment. This is what i think Toby Fox intended with the character, anyway. 0.22 we get a piano and accordian playing a version of the melody with a VERY old silent film sort of vibe. It sets a sinister tone for the song itself, but coupled with the animations the sinister tone is lessoned as you can clearly see he ISN'T a moustache twirling villain. 0:38 Switching back over to a more gentle interpretation of the melody, though without losing the sinister undertone, we get a nice little break in the song, one with a little expectancy. 0:52 firm brass and drums in an extension of the intro to the song. The dark piano in the background adds an excellent layer to the tune. 1:00 accordian is the life of this song, seems to represent Papyrus, here playing the main melody sinisterly. 1:15 a little freestyle with the notes, coupled with the piano gives the song less repition and new life. 1:30 the melody is now played by the orchestra, with the accordian backing. I especially like the change at 1:35 just as he hits the rake. It really brings out the song and hinta to the tango style later on. 1:45 reprise, but with less variation to prepare for a change in the second half. 1:53 rest and the accordian takes center stage again as the music grows calm. Pivotal point in the track where the music begins to question itself and falter. 2:02 introduction of a lighter, happier melody, counteracting the previous 'dastardly villain ' feeling. Also an excellent easter egg. (Snowdin's theme and dating/shop theme seriously how do they fit so well together?) 2:10 papyrus' accordian begins to play the new melody, showing a change of heart in the villain of the story. (Awwww just the way he looks at sans like he's saying "oh my gosh did you see that it was so sweet!"❤️) 2:13 a sinister note returns as the song begins to return to its original form. Without the visuals one might interpret it as the previous section being a single moment of change in the villains heart before reverting back to his duty. As it is shown, the sinister note is rather a show of fear and sudden realization of danger. 2:17 epic change to a piano/accordian improv, giving off very classical french/italian vibes that make one feel as if a chase scene is happening. I love thos section very much. 2:32 a new version of the melody shows up, showcasing a change and a shift in tone. The tango style grows much more prominent as a new improvisation takes notes and sequences from the original melody while also jumbling them ariund to form something new. 2:48 a happy build up, clearly stating that tension is gone. Snowdin's theme returns but the accordian is playjg alongside it without hesitation. 3:03 the main melody returns, but played by a gentle clarinet. It literally sounds like friends laughing together and havjng the best of times. Aye it was cool i mean i really love the cover and i think musicslly it deserves just as much love as the animation because it brings the characters to life. Its why the animation works without voices. The music IS their voice. You dont need anything else. That is masterful storytelling!

Papyrus actively playing a grand piano that he's trying to use in a Human Trap is the most in-character thing I've ever seen.

frisk's little headpat to papyrus makes me happy singe its the best interpretation of pacifist frisk

sans dreaming about milk spilling is so in and out of character in every way

the fact that the tile puzzle is not only done right, but he actually slides on the purple tiles on the off-beat is beautiful

One of the funniest parts for me, is at 1:34, because the fact that all of the traps are still not triggered, implies that the human managed to get past all the traps without setting ANY of them off. Though papyrus, the skeleton who MADE THE TRAPS. MANAGED TO FORGET WHERE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM WHERE, AND STEP ON ALL OF THEM.

Gotta love how Papyrus and Frisk are in a tango routine when dodging all the traps. Incredibly cute. The entire thing.

0:33 Papyrus imagining himself with muscles is way too canon.

The part where Paps picks Frisk up to protect them made my heart clench it was so cute 🥺❤️

He may not have gotten to be king for a day, but he sure got to be a bone in our hearts. This is a very serious medical condition, call a hospital.

Turms out, having an 8+ y/o YT watch history actually does pay off! This was an unexpected delight, and you have a well-earned new sub.

It'd be just like Sans to be holding the rope but not pulling on it.

I like the idea of Papyrus being a Wile E. Coyote-style looney tunes villain way more than just portraying him as a manchild

Seeing something like this in 2024 makes me reminisce on the good ol' days when Undertale first came out. I'm glad people are still making videos like these. It's nice to see Sans being Sans and Papyrus being Papyrus. It's nice to see "Undertale" again.

Papyrus went from "Capturing the Human" to "Older Brother" really damn quick.

Y'know, this is so Papyrus tbh, tho his dream is to be a Royal Guard, he pushes that notion aside once he realizes that Frisk is a potential and fantastic friend! The animation was just so in character to, along with the composition! Great job!

i like how sans has subtle references to patrick star, really makes his character seem like he's actually lazy

This is so unbelievably "undertale" in vibes and style that if there was ever a undertale series i need you to be a director

I like how this animation is more showing what papyrus’s perspective is, not seeing sans doing much, while sans being a big part of the lore without papyrus knowing

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY ONE OF THE MOST PARAMOUNT UNDERTALE ANIMATION EVER I LOVE THE STYLE AND HOW EVERYTHING IS ANIMATED! I swear to god if this doesn’t blow up it’ll elicit a tear from me. You earned a new subscriber - keep up your amazing work!!!👍👍👍

The story... The animation... Beautiful

THIS IS SO FUNNNNN I LOVE THE LINELESS STYLE A LOT 😭😭 YOU PERFECTLY ENCAPSULATED CANON PAPYRUS IN ONE VIDEO AND ITS LOVELY …

This is the best animation I've seen in a while with regards to Undertale It so perfectly captures the ball of fun that Snowdin is on a first playthrough and, without words, manages to accurately portray Sans and Papyrus, which is incredibly impressive This is so underrated my lord

I only now realize that the variety of traps near the mouse trap were not laid by papyrus on purpose, but rather placed via a cannon ball papyrus threw onto a pile of traps causing them to fly and be buried everywhere. That is really good attention to detail, and it makes me love this even more.

I love the represatation of all of the characters with sans occasionally swapping himself and frisk as a joke and papyrus being the cool guy he is.

Absolutely beautiful Hugo!! From recreating the puzzles from the chapter so well to giving Papyrus such a sweet change-of-heart story, just perfect ❤

2:48 this part of frisk and papyrus dancing and papyrus swinging frisk around and even lifting they because of their sizes is sooooooo cute!

You knocked it out of the park as always, Hugo! Always such a treat to see one of these in my sub box! Thank you so much for sharing your art!

this was genuinely the best depiction of papyrus i've ever seen (except for yknow, the official one). i could not stop smiling and going eeee!!! throughout this entire video. the music was so fun and had a lot of life to it, and the collage artstyle was utterly charming! i hope toby fox sees this ASAP because it's really amazing and honestly if someone makes something This Cool for Papyrus he needs to see it. hats off to this great cover!

wow i wasn’t expecting this to get so cute halfway through

It'll truly be a crime if this piece does not get the attention it deserves! Simply incredible work!

I appreciate the heck out of that smooth and believable drop/fall at 2:03 Excellent and incredibly fun animation!

That was the most wholesome thing I've seen in like, forever. It made me cry. This was amazing, good job to everyone who worked on this, the world needs more things like this right now.

this has become one of my favorite undertale related videos EVER. i love this SO MUCH!!! i never made the connection between papyrus and loony toons-like villains (somehow) but it makes SO much sense. i love my lil cinnamon roll

dude I love the textures and occasional real photos, reminds me of cartoons that I watched when I was a kid. the entire thing does tbh

One of the best Undertale animations I've ever seen! I feel that even without Undertale context it would work amazingly as a mini story.

This is absolutely INCREDIBLE!! The story is fun and easy to follow, the music is delightful, and the animation is wonderful!

It's amazing how well the music and animation sync up with each other and make Frisk, Sans, and Papyrus all feel so much more like real people (and monsters) and it shows all aspects of who Papyrus is and his 'change of heart' per se. Amazing!

this feels like a love letter to the game and it genuinely made my day. brings back some of the best memories about the game. and your interesting choices and techniques used in the animation really makes this stand out. an amazing work overall, im looking forward to see what you have next.

I love how no one is talking about how neat it is to remix the piece into a Bonetrousle 'tango' instead of writing it like a standard russian folk song type track. Very talented arranging, love the vision and execution. Great work

Can't wait for this to become a fandom classic that's still thought about a decade from now.

All whilst watching I was like 'this sounds incredibly familiar' and then I checked the description and it hit me like a train.

The sans dreaming of milk is a reference to spongebob

This is such an amazing animation and the music is beautiful like the game. Warms my heart to see the fandom still alive.

Crazy to think an interesting Bonetrousle cover came from a major SiIvaGunner event submission. This version is incredible.

I like how Sans is just watching them have fun.

i love the combination of 2D and real PNGs in this animation, seeing the piano and the frozen spaghetti made me giggle. everything from how you animated the characters to the music and humour is so well done!! (thank you youtube algorithm for showing me this on undertale's 9th birthday)

Theres so much tom and jerry vibes from this i love it

so unbelievably underrated, it's so cute and true to the source material, ontop of being very well animated and having good comedy? youtube undertale hall of fame

How endearing papyrus was to take the human safely through the puzzles at his own detriment

This made me smile. My favorite part is when the door smacks Papyrus in the face! 😆

0:41 I love the SpongeBob reference here Overall fantastic animation 🎉

Frisk and papyrus dancing while hes trying to protect frisk was AWESOME!!! I love this so much!! Its so silly and fun 💕💕💕

Literally one of the best animations I've seen in this fandom. It may be not the highest quality, but it's really funny and in-character! My favorite moment it Paps playing on the piano that is part of his trap

2:13 best part!!!

This is great! That whole last sequence was really fun to watch and had a good setup with Papyrus rushing to save the human from the trap gauntlet.

I watched this animation before I played Undertale and loved it. Now, watching this after I've played through Undertale several times, I love it even more.

This is my new favorite video on RU-vid I'm screaming- The whole little end segment where he panics and scoops Frisk up and takes all the traps face-first instead to protect the child and then they end in the snow asdfhfgjhkl Papyrus best boy

something that i haven't seen in the comments is how Dr Alphy's puzzle (the coloured tiles one) actually works like how it is in the real game, even down to the specifics. The amount of detail that this little animation has is truly incredible

0:56 i see toby fox

THE DANCE!!!! OH MY HEART!!! Papyrus’s expressions throughout were so good toosjdhsjdj

This is SOOOO BEAUTIFUL in every shape and form!! It is evident that you put love and care into every frame of this animation. It feels so new and refreshing. I love details of Papyrus daydreaming about becoming a royal guard, getting into his own traps, and also his face when he realises that frisk was in danger, (Sans patrick reference was soo on the point as well XD). Music was sooo god damn good!. It's rare that i see bonetrousle remixes THIS GOOD (better than original imo). AND THAT PAPY AND FRISK TANGO BETWEEN TRAPS AND PUZZLES WAS SOOO SOOO ADORABLE🧡 Hands fown one of the best UT animations ever. If they ever make undertale as animated series i hope Toby hires you!

the rope is so durable that it can hold a grand piano with two skeletons (one of them with armor) easily! the annoying dog's jaws are so powerful that it can slowly gnaw permafrost spaghetti! Frisk's charisma is so much, that Papyrus changes decision about capturing them and 'takes the bullet' from his traps! love how the animation blends so smoothly with the music, especially the tango(?) part!! congrats for the extra variations you added!!

This is awesome!!! The visuals are absolutely stunning and the story is true to the characters. Paps and Frisk dancing together by the end is so adorable

That was one of the most beautiful undertale sequences I've ever seen

THATS??? SO??? CUTE???? + ITS SO IN CHARACTER I LOVE IT OMG

Gosh, this is amazing. The animation is adorable, and the arrangement is fantastic. The Great Papyrus would be very proud of your work!

I like how papyrus just wanted to be friends with the human 😄

this is so beautifully made! and refreshing considering how misunderstood sans’ and papyrus’ characters are in the fandom🦴 the door slamming in his face really got me lol

This has to be my new favorite undertale animation Oml- the way papyrus panics when he remembers that traps he put up made for a creative scene with all the puzzles in snowdin, and the music for this REALLY fits for this short, this is the most accurate characterization of papyrus I’ve seen in awhile, thanks for making this

This is SO adorable and in-character, and I especially loved how fluid the motion was when Papyrus slammed into the tree!

I love how it swings between a loony toons style cartoon and a fantasia like tango. So cool!

When you stop staring at the sans memes, this becomes a lot more lovable than it already is :)

PLEASE THIS NEEDS TO BE A MOVIE, THERE NEEDS TO BE AN UNDERTALE MOVIE.

Holy cow this is INCREDIBLE!! You really captured the humor in such a stylistic and beautiful way. The fluidity in the animation at 2:18 is mind blowing. Not to mention a great interpretation and expansion of the original Bonetrousle theme... awesome work!

2:47 ❤☺

This was absolutely adorable! Not only was everything and everyone in characters, but so perfectly timed to the music as well!

The dance scenes are awesomely hilarious and adorable

The amount of serotonin this gave is unbelievable, like i was cackling.

The inner machinations of sans’s mind are an enigma. I like how when Papyrus went through the color puzzle, the tiles followed the rules he told us ingame, really small but cool attention to detail! Overall, really cool animation and the bonetrousle cover works very well with it. Could have tricked me into believing it’s official!

2:21 looks like they're dancing as they avoid the trap It's stunning

Oh?? My GOSH??? This entire animation takes me back to the old 2015-2019 undertale videos I loved watching so often back then! I absolutely ADORE the texture/style on your animation for these silly little guys, and how frisk and papyrus began to dance at the end! It's so cute!!! I have to say though, this cover is such a nice fresh of air from all those hardcore beats I hear XD And wow! Just- Everything about the way you animated Papyrus is SO funny to watch! Love how Sans is always just there in the sidelines, and Frisk with their walking cycle. Awesome work Hugo!! 💖💖💖

They made the color tile puzzle accurate oh my god.

it's so great to see the undertale fandom still so active after all these years!

The way this is animated is amazing. I like the rough mix of original art and things like just a random grand piano png off the internet

The existence of this animation not only signifies the immortality of the Undertale community, but also that Undertale is something of a magnet for many talented people.

Holy cow this is a good animation + cover, I adore how you've retold snowdin into something so fun and delightful

This deserves to be the next big UT animation, you really struck gold with this.

Officially my favorite undertale animation ever

I like the little detail of frisk picking up the plate and the spaghetti still being stuck to it

This made me smile so much!! The Tom and Jerry hi-jinks to the dance. Plus it's SO well animated!

Papyrus just used a mouse trap in the beginning and put cheese on it but the cheese is like the size of the trap so that's not gonna work. Also it's at 0:19

Love that this is just wholesome undertale goofs, no dark twist like normal Undertale content

I love the martlet theme in the beginning 👀

THIS FILLS ME WITH JOY EVERY TIME I ENCOUNTER IT

My lord the quality in this is so good. This has to easily be one of your best!

The fact that papyrus just gets slammed by a door then stomps off amazingly fuels my brain

love the fact that frisk is being carried pretty much the entire time during the dance lmao

wey does undertale has to always find a way to get back to me all these years later?

Sweet art style here
