The onslaught of questions pertaining to one’s own self and one’s bones + the difficulties of actually _completing_ a single one of those thoughts is absolutely accurate to life and I believe it’s the real thing

my favorite thing about this bit is how griffin absolutely refused to do the obvious thing of creating a dog character and singing their introduction and instead created an existential horror piece for completely no reason

The two sitting in the audience and just eating popcorn to a canine mental breakdown is just peak "our youngest sibling is the family entertainment" energy and I love it

I really do appreciate Travis’s interjections. They deserve equal praise to Griffin’s singing, because he does SO much to drive Griffin’s - and our - interpretation, all as the work is being done before him. A truly collaborative performance. 🥂

the poor dog is just trying to make ends meet for himself and his beautiful bones in the city, but is constantly struck dumb with horror following the realization that every sentence he speaks is actually just a line from les mis. dogz: the musical is allegorical for the depressing educational reality of the average theatre kid, crippling self doubt and inability to follow even one thought to completion included. dogz: the musical truly was one of the musicals of all time.

The dramatic look on Griffins face closing his eyes are just *chef's kiss*

It's like he's singing his way through one of the new Final Yahoos.

I can’t get over the magic of Justin and Travis’ eyes just * m e l t i n g * when they tear up from laughing. Hits the spot every time.

Whenever there's a serious or silent moment in my life my mind will go ALL MY BEAUTIFUL BONES and then wait a beat and go GOD and then wait and WHY HAVE TO FORSAKEN ME? I will never stop praising Griffin's ability to create an ear worm when creating a "bad" song

WHYYYYYY did his song give me such strong similar vibes to Jack Skellington’s first song

The outfit you gave Griffin for this bit? Perfection.

With the amount of passion you and Griffin put into the performance, I wish I could see Dogz: the musical in all its glory.

Jesus Christ, thank you for animating this very worthy bit. Holy shit, dude.

Can we please just talk about the fact that Griffin did a spot-on Colm Wilkinson impression at 1:53 and onward

I was hoping this was a clip you'd animate and this just made my year.

“Look-“ “Thanks, Griff!”

the 'who am i' ALWAYS takes me out every time

This was amazing and they sure know how to make my sides hurt but they just fit with your animation and makes it hurt even more thank you

Travis's "Ohh" after Griffin sings "in the city" always takes me out

Love that griffins middle name is andrew, which is why they immediately jumped to griffin andrew lloyd webber

god yes ive been waiting for you to animate this bit for so long

You're so good at these, damn.

It's like when you're writing something and you're like "I want these phrases in my thing" but that's it, no other writing

this is one of my favorite bits so thank you very good

So what Griffin is saying is that Dogs is Andrew Lloyd Weber plagiarizing Les Mis "Who am I? I'm dog valdog!!"

The little shake at 1:57 sells Dogz to me

I love the way this animator adjusts their expressions, it delights me to no end

We as the fans are now REQUIRED to provide the real Griffin with a doggo costume so he can reenact, in real life, this animated reenactment inspired by his real life XD Love these cute boys and love Geo’s style! 💜💚💜
