the art is incredible obviously, but the animation is soooo good. everything moves so smoothly and naturally, the perspective shifts feel completely normal, this is some next-level stuff and everyone needs to know that.
I loved the characterization. Like when Green takes the game too far 😅 and him beating everyone else all the time. It’s very relatable board game dynamics and you can feel how they interact outside of games.

I may have not taken a game of monopoly too seriously yesterday and made everyone bankrupt
Fun fact! The version of the game we got is the "bad" one. The original game had cooperative and monopolistic rules. The capitalism version was meant to be aggravating, unfair, and a pita. The idea was you play that, then play it again with a cooperative ruleset, and see how much better it is! This is the original lesson of the game. Of course during the cold war this was quickly replaced with modern Monopoly.

The name of the game itself is a warning

Lizzie Magie, the creator of the landlord's game, was a Geoist, a subset of laissez-faire capitalism that get's rid of land ownership and taxes on productive endeavours replacing it for the LVT. Anti-capitalists have parroted this lie so hard they believe it, trying to pass an ideology deemed capitalism last ditch effort by Marx and praised by Friedman as anti-capitalist.

Didn't they buy the rights from the creator? Quite ironic lol

Alert! The system has detected a _socialist_ promoting cooperation and free market regulation!

Yes , but you should understand, that it wasn't in any way socialist. It was based on the georgist idea that the reason of monopolization is unequal land ownership , not the free market itself, the game even was called "the landlord game"
Gosh I love all the colors and the weird perspectives, very fun filmmmm
I love the charcters and their personalities . Green is serious and has a car, He wants to win! Yellow is trying to have fun, wins big at first but then stop racing at the end. Later on Red and yellow bails blue out of jail while green gets so worked up in the game that he didnt even notice his friends leave the room.
I love the stylization and the wacky ways things morph.
At the bottom, you have friends. At the top, you’re all alone.

They hadn't captured the essence: the green one should've started by stealing or outright grabbing money and chips from others then referring to the game rules when they try to get their assets back

Not strong at all. It’s vewn at first glance, but vewn has far more interesting filmography, a higher understanding of perspective and how that emits emotion. This is just a great animator.

Hey, you're the one who played Annie in School of Fight, aren't you?
This was so good! And it isn’t a game of “capitalism” if at least one person doesn’t cry or one friendship gets tested 😂
Fun fact : The Monopoly has indeed been created to denounce capitalism and was free to make, but then has been robbed to the creator and commercialized.
Art style - 🔥 Animation - 🔥 Total: fire
Wooo thanks again for having me as Blue! :)

Huh
This concept is genius! I absolutely love the character designs and the color direction. Really really great job
I may not agree with your point, but I do have to admit your animation skills are top tier.
This animation is MARVELOUS! BRAVO!!!
I remember seeing the character designs for this forever ago!!! wonderful final project & absolutely beautiful artwork and visualizations.
Is it just me or the black guy just went to jail when he tried to join capitalism..
THIS IS SO GOODDD
Congrats, this is actually so good. The script is accurate af

If you like this animation style you might like vewn's videos :)
Nice touch at the end of showing the difference between spending your time chasing physical wealth and spending it building memories and bonds with life around you. Great video 👏
Amazing work! ❤
i love this so much!!!! its so sweet and i love the character dynamics.
What a magnificent project. 👏
that was awesome, I'd love to see some extended version of this animation 😁
This was super good!
underrated 😭😭
holy love the artstyle hope it blows up in view count
this video is so underrated
Awesome monopoly short film

THIS IS AWESOME great message and great style well done!!
VAs did a fantastic job, much love🤯
This was really well done
"It's cold and lonely at the top" just the way I like it

Amazing video dude!
The animation is crazy good! Wow!
Damn, you made this? It’s pretty good.
Absolutely marvelous!

This is an exceptionally good video and animation :)
This is amazing, loved it. 👏🏻
Wow the style, the commentary! All amazing!
Loved this!
Вот бы этот мультфильм был рекламой игры "Монополия"
I see a lot of potential in this channel
amazing film, animation is very smooth an unique
Yeah this is tight asf
Wow that's just amazing! So unique yet familiar Great stuff
I see you guys are heavily inspired by vewn, even with the soundtrack wow
Good decision to take corporate art style to portrait the characters
Great characterisation and we've all experienced that kinda person in a game, lol.
I'll half agree; it's workable for living, but it's only awesome if you don't become an addict and have a good start with generous parents. Me, I actually listened to the "Just say no" PSAs in the late 20th century, that's a very small club.
Best two minutes of my morning
Wonderful Animation! The little things in life right? :)
Every artist is getting the vewn fever
impressive animation !!!
beautiful work, ill be watching
Reminds me a lot of Vewns work, looks great
i love capitalism
Love this!
Imagine them playing comunism game. Everyone go to jail in 1st round for attempting to own property. xD
hermoso trabajo compa
Am i the only one who thought that this was made by vewn at first?
Incredible!
You could say he has the monopoly
Sick use of music, fits the mood perfectly
Great animation, and performance from the actors!
here before this blows up
Loved this! Will look for more♡
hhmmm... reminds me of a certain game with a certain... Colonel Sanders -esque figurehead... i always was best at capitalisation within that economy
This was sick

Wonderful animation, it reminds me of the artstyle of cat city! Its almost the same . However i believe it didn't really have a proper story but it actually doesn't have to because thats how almost 90% of monopoly ends up
RAGHHH SO GOOD MM
Wonderful storytelling🎉
Really cool animation. You got a new subscriber.
Oh no! Now he has to invite his friends to his super sick island and they can feed the pelicans!
