What happened to Slamacow? (The Minecraft Animation Legend) 

Captions/Subtitles are available for this video, feel free to turn them on. Don't forget to subscribe if you're new, I upload Minecraft videos regularly.

I miss slamacow, I watched him when I was growing up.

2:44 actually HE didn’t disable the comments. They were disabled automatically because of the whole COPPA thing.

Slamacow? I haven’t heard that name in YEARS…

Plot twist: he’s animating the Minecraft movie

Slamacow dating Laura was such a plot twist. Both people are legendary, people who created our childhoods and positive memories. One is a composer of pvz and other is a minecraft animator. And they are in a relationship. Crazy. Dave.

Remember that video about Witches and Dancing? Yea.... Good old days

I literally searched this video up

This guy disappears for years... and then suddenly drops a game he's working on out of no where.

I really hope he would be back, he's such an inspiration and I can't imagine him to quit forever.

Damn I always wondered what happend to him

Remember this thing we learned from Slamacow: "You may not rest now, there's a dance off nearby."

I cant ever forget him he was the best animator

I missed this dude. I loved seeing his videos. My favorites were probably his Witch Encounter video and also his Spleef Animation video. I always watched those. Earlier, I actually remembered this channel and checked it out. Then realized what had happened. I wanted to see the comments but Coppa, you know. So I searched SlamACow up and found this video. Thanks for the information because I wouldn’t have known what happened

Oh you typed What happened to Slamacow? me too

A few days ago, he uploaded a new video (trailer for a game by laura shigihara! :O)

He back!!

If i'm being 100% with you. Slamacow really has went through some shit in his life but, even when terrible things happened to him he still was able to stay determined, motivated, and happy. I hope nothing but the best for him and his girlfriend. Stay safe out there Slamacow. God bless you.

He had a trailer up for the animation on his "Coming soon" banner but he deleted it for some reason after it being up for more than a year

I wonder whats the ''coming soon'' on his cover

I miss him he was the first minecraft animator I ever watched Ight how did these get these many likes and comments :^) Also watermelon :^ ) Again watermelon update I got some watermelon 🍉 I came back to this after remembering it and I saw how it blew up so thanks also my sister had a kid and her nickname is now watermelon 🍉🍉🍉

Slamacow left a huge impact on everyone. Slamacow taught us no matter how hard life can be, you can push through it. Slamacow was one of the best, but in my eyes, he WAS the best.

He's not gone he just preparing for the biggest comeback ever!

update: He uploaded... Just for promoting his new game

HE IS BACK

Interesting that this came up in my recommended feed. Slamacow just posted on 31 January 2023 with a video "Mr. Saitou Game Trailer - Laura Shigihara", which I guess is a game that Laura is making

cube land was so important to me as a kid and every time i come back to it, it still makes my heart hurt

Me when i was a child: yeah slamacow Me now: slamacow who is this guy

Someone: says Slamacow Me: I haven’t heard that name in a thousand Eon’s..

Me at 3 Am remembering things of my childhood: I DON'T NEED SLEEP, I NEED ANSEWERS!!! * *slam table* *

Im so happy that he's still making work and seems to be in a happy relationship. His work was part of what got me through my childhood, he deserves the best.

Aw this was a much happier "What happened" then I expected. Really happy for them in this case! It seems like Steven is trying to help out Larua/work with her, and not just outright drag his minecraft community to her channel only because of him, but letting it grow naturally over time. Really sweet if so

He was actually a big inspiration for me in terms of storytelling and animation.

My favorite Minecraft animator. Best part of my childhood ever.

It feels so good to know that one of my childhood's biggest faces are still the same and good people too, Slamacow if you're somehow reading this, you're awesome!

He’s technically back, but not really. He seems to be distancing himself from Minecraft. Simply put it i think he just moved on and grew as a creator..to think he was going to stick with Minecraft forever is silly. His animations were (and I’m sure still are) absolutely incredible, and I’m sure he’s just using his skills elsewhere. Like games! According to his recent community posts and recent video.

If he's found love, I wish him the best.

update: he has uploaded one thing a game trailer of sorts

He uploaded something a few days ago.

this was really well put together

I'm disheartened.... I loved that guy, his animations were amazing! Mega talent! From the ground up makes me cry it's so beautiful.... ;_; at least he is still animating, that is relieving. And the fact he's not.... gone from this world. :3

He came back

Thanks for this video. I'm glad he is doing okay.

well what an apropriate time to get this in my recommendation

I remember his collabs with skydoesminecraft

To add to this video, in the past month or so, Laura Shigihara announced that she was releasing a game soon, and via a community post Slamacow has stated to have worked on it. So visual design for a video game can be added to the list of why he's been absent from RU-vid.

I'm just started being worried about him, and how he doin now. I remember description under "Skeleton encounter" and his last animation on "Slamacow" channel... It's was... truly sad and... terrible. So, thank you so much for video! Now I'm absolutely calm. Everything okay with my favorite animator from childhood and I'm glad he doing great with his girlfriend and new project^^

He's been gone for a few years and that make me sad :(

Man we need our minecraft legendary animator back When I was kid, he made me love minecraft

I really miss him he made this unforgettable video that was a masterpiece like nothing people have seen in for a while

Favourite video was witch encounter, god i loved that guy

RU-vid and its algorithm never ceases to amaze me.

I used to check his youtube channel every day for a new uploads then I stopped trying now I'm looking at it again and yet I think it's dead used to watch slamacow when i was on middle school now I'm at college god time surely flies by

His "Cube Land" music video was a masterpiece. Make back when Herobrine was actually a scary villain.

My younger cousin (7) re showed me the Witch Encounter video and I took a trip down memory mode. I’m 16 now and I remember being 9 binging Slamacow videos

his Stay By Me video still makes me cry every time i watch it. the slime jumping in front of the pillagers to protect the calf is where i break every time

I came back on his channel and now I want to know the wand's story (which i never noticed it turned an entire city into stone) Thank you for this video ^^

I remember finding him from cube land and that quickly became one of my favorite songs

i am happy for slamacow that he found love, i realy wish him the best, it does make me a little sad he will never upload anymore videos, best of wishes to you slamacow, miss you dude, you entertained me through some tough times

There were videos on his channel before the Skyblock one, according to some texts in the video descriptions he even had an older channel before. But then he removed and re-uploaded a bunch of them, due to music-copyright as far as i remember. Most of his classic ones are even listed as being re-uploads. But i think he didn't reupload all of them. I remember that there were other, more simple videos about minecraft mobs running around in his apartment, similar to the "wallet" video but more primitive in terms of animation (well, they were made like 4 years before that). At least one where a spider mob got squashed.

Thanks ChronoFury. Wanted to know for sure what happened. I was not a child when I started to watch Slamacow. More like a teenager going into young adulthood. So, I cannot share his channel with my childhood like comments here displayed. And not really a Minecraft player. But the videos did make an impact on my animation journey. It encouraged me to continue animation at the time. Well, 3d modelling mostly too. However, I am not into animation much anymore, still do 3d models though. Well, time to time. But his channel was one which I appreciated for it. And seeing the progress it made. I came into his channel a little later. Like maybe two years after Witch Encounter was created. Probably. And no, not because he stopped, I stopped. Animation was not my idea of what I wanted to do in my time at this time. Well, not hardcore animator or anything similar to that. My favourite and still remember and come back from time to time on Slamacow is the Minecraft Witch Encounter.

Thank you slamacow and yogscast were my childhood those animations and stories done by both are what keeps me going to make something that can stand up to both there legacies and help other be motivated to do the same.

Slamacow's songs go off, especially when it was that prime time of kids listening to their favourite minecraft parody songs.

Wish they didn't label it for youtube kids, then we could atleast see everyone going through nostalgia

Btw hes back(hes just been busy mostly because they are helping one of their close friends and they uploaded today)Also he didn't quit RU-vid hes just taking a break

He is back with a game now

i just rewatched all of his videos couple days back, so i'm glad to finally know what happened, thank u man

I’m getting ready to move out and wanted to see how some childhood youtube channels are doing for nostalgia sake, so after seeing nothing from Slamacow this video was really appreciated. Short and sweet, gets right to the point, great work fam. And thank you haha

Thanks man, used to watch ‘em as a kid and I wondered what happened.

He uploaded recently!

Just posting this because i love your video and wanted to say to slamacow this. it's nice knowing that you found a new goal in life, i just wanted to tell you how much it inspired my own creativity in my life.

I'm just glad to know he's okay

and now they uploaded a commercial for a game

he started his youtube channel on my bday other than the year 🥺

kinda crazy that he's still gone... always enjoyed his uploads

I remember watching From the Ground Up premiere at minecon 2012. It was one of the coolest fucking things I think I've ever seen come out of anything at that point in my life. It was the highest of minecraft animation, and it was a killer song that I still know all the words to to this day. I think that was one of the biggest highlights to my childhood.

I searched for this. I miss him everyday. I really hope he comes back to minecraft

Man, it’s sad I had forgotten that I was still subscribed to him...

Small update: he has released a new video this year, but it also seems he is deleting or privatizing his videos, allagedly due to copyright claims

He uploaded a new video recently for those who are here now! (12/2/2023)

Goodbye Slamacow, thanks for the minecraft animation that we enjoyed as kids!

Also, Shigihari is the singer of the "Zombies on Your Lawn" thing from Plants vs Zombies when you finish the game, just a useless fact to this video you didn't mention.

After looking at the comments sections for the the recent videos, as recent as they could be, I feel like the reason why he quit RU-vid if that's what he actually did, was because of the whole coppa incident. Because I checked and almost every one of his videos are now labeled as for kids. I have a theory that he stopped because he was getting tired of this videos being flagged as such

thanks for this, randomly wondered this when the channel happened to come up

I needed this right now

Anyone wanna talk about Dave and Bart? So good to know some people still remember him :D

So glad this popped up on my reconmended. Good informational video! Slamacow inspired me to pursue 3D animation, now graduating with an Animation degree, I've been thinking about him and other inspirations recently

When I was younger I cried during "cube land" still makes me feel sad

I miss him so much :,(

Hopefully he comes back to his main account, his animations were a childhood to me, much like evryone else i feel quite nostalgic, however i wouldnt push him, hes very talented and had found a more important job, props to him.

Your video contains most of the public information, nice job :) It's also important to remember he was in charge of Captain Sparkle "Fallen Kingdom" animated music series, and tell me if those are not some gorgeous videos! He talked more about it in the comments when they were still enabled, but the passing of one of his family members hit him really hard (the last public video on Bart the endermen is a reference to that). Also I'm not sure, but if your channel is popular enough I think RU-vid itself can mark it as "for kids" *entirely* and disable the comments. His real name should be Steven Davis if we trust Google? I don't really know... Another thing: if I remember correctly he initially published the trailer for "Farmer in the sky" on his main channel! But then created the "Morizora studios" channel and only published the first episode here, before he and Laura somehow decided to publish episode two only on her channel. Then the trailer was deleted from his main channel. This doesn't make any sense from a commercial point of view! The original trailer had something in the hundreds of thousands views (200K? Maybe more?), which while not a lot compared to his older videos was still more than all the views this series ever got by combining all the currently public videos. I don't really get why he didn't just use his old channel and massive audience (who was already somewhat familiar with Laura and Rauken) to boost his new series! Maybe it was the comments block, maybe he wanted to take distances from his older works (as his colleague?? friend Bootstrap Buckaroo/Dig Build Live did), maybe it has something to do with how the episodes were also released as DLCs for the Rauken game proper because Laura wants more control over the project... I don't really know, but I think he's not making himself and his girlfriend a favor by trying to keep their projects so niche. Maybe he just wants some privacy...

With all the minecraft upgrades that we've been getting I was hoping he would come back. I still hope he does, eventually. He meant so much to me when I was in middle school and watched his videos over and over with my friends. There was so much potential in the characters he created, he was starting to connect all the short animations into one cool narrative with the magical wand. I wish he comes back

I wish him and Laura the best of luck, I'm so glad to hear that he along with her are doing so well, put the biggest smile on my face.😊

It's truly, truly been a roundabout path. Thank you, Slamacow.

Man... Witch Encounter made by this guy is still a very big part of my childhood

We miss him

Im glad that slamacow is Pretty fine now still Deep comdolemce for his lost He was part of the minecraft Community He left a legend

Guys Slamacow isn't uploading because he is working with his wife (I think) LauraShigihara he is still kind of active on his community page

There was one video Slamacow made that I still remember vividly that no longer seems to be on his RU-vid anymore.. it is a video about a game of Minecraft spleefing for emeralds to buy some food.. I wonder why it is gone..

I loved all of his videos. I was kinda sad when I looked over his channel again after a long time away and only saw one new release, but this video cheered me up a little, and I'm planning to look up Farmer in the Sky when I've got more time.
