For young people just getting introduced to the world of animation, Newgrounds is probably still the best website to get some exposure to the various approaches to the medium. Though the curation system is pretty strict from what I've heard, it does ensure that the movies and games on the front page are at the very least decent.

Newgrounds was my go to site back when I was a kid. It literally had everything a 6-10 year old kid could want all right there. Funny flash cartoons, webcomics, flash games, cool art, and boobs. Now that I'm in college I kinda feel like some old fart whenever I reminisce about Pico, Xiao Xiao, and The Cliff with my friends. Newgrounds really is an important part of our generation that at times I feel is sometimes forgotten.

oh hell yea

It was one of the only sites to feature free underground music from artists on the site since 2003. Also has great community contests in the forums, like the Art-Inspired Music Contest on the front page calendar. Original holidays like Pico Day, Robot Day, Pixel Day, there's so much to Newgrounds

I don't know if many people understand how influential this man is going to become. In an era of youtube where everyone complains about the parts of media that suck (movie reviews, retro game reviews, etc.) we finally not only have someone who talks about appreciating art, but also in ways we might not have ever appreciated it before. For example, his watchmen video. I never noticed the mirrored panels on the fearful symmetry chapter, and the importance of color from a secondary palette. His pokemon video showed me just how much a game can bring people together. I'd be here all day if I listed everything this guy has taught me, but it really is staggering just how much I've learned. But in the end, what I love most about this guy is that he's a fan. Fans get a lot of flack for being seen as people who simply ride the coat tails of successful creators. It's an unbelievably wrong frame of mind, though. Fans are what make those creators successful in the first place, and like Kaptain Kristian, they can easily give back to the creators with, in this case, beautifully crafted video essays on why they're so important and brilliant. And honestly, as an artist myself, hearing someone say that about you is one of the best feelings you can possibly have.

Ahhh good old Egoraptor. I bought the metalgear awesome t-shirt back in the day. I could voice over every single line from the metal gear awesome vids with pinpoint accuracy and intonation because I watched and loved them so much. As a kid I loved newgrounds. It, along with AlbinoBlackSheep, were instrumental to me becoming who I am today. While AlbinoBlackSheep had some amazing (flash) vids, the site itself was rather lackluster and its lack of community and proper community moderation made sure Newgrounds became the bigger repository for artistic expression.

I wish I grew up in the era when Newgrounds was still super relevant and KZread still hadn't become the massive entity it is now. I feel like I could've actually made something successful back then and practiced animation. Now it just feels like the standard for animation on the internet is too high. Not to mention how extremely difficult it is to get noticed on KZread.

AWESOME! I worked at Warner Bros Online back in 2000 animating Lobo, Gotham Girls and Looney Tunes in Flash and we spent HUGE parts of our day scoping Newgrounds. Absolutely love this vid/doc - great job!

Not to mention that the indie game movement started with flash developers, such as Edmund Mcmillen, who started posting stuff on newgrounds and went on to produce Super Meat Boy and The Binding of Isaac, or The Behemoth, with Castle Crashers and Battleblock Theater! We all should be thankful of the wonderful community of that website.

But it was much harder to find good content. Newgrounds gave developers a dedicated place to host and display your games and let people experience them without having to install them. There were some indie gaming communities prior, but Newgrounds was incredibly influential in providing a widely viewed platform. Not only that, but the fact that Alien Hominid was made by a bunch of Newgrounds veterans and was one of the first widely published retail indie games. I'd say Newgrounds is as important or maybe even more important than something like Cave Story was to the rise of indies.

I was just sitting in my chair and thought, 'you know what would be good? If KaptainKristian uploaded a new video' and boom entire day made.

I was amazed by XiaoXiao and a thousand more short clips from all around those websites (most of them now dead and forever lost). No doubt, that's what got me into Flash and animation. Today, I work as a lead 3D artist for animation, I still have a lot of admiration for 2D art, and I'll never forget how it all started. Thank you Macromedia, and *thank you everyone doing everything*

This video's points hit harder after watching Smiling Friends on Adult Swim, a TV series created by two newgrounds legends, Zach Hadel and Michael Cusack

this video really got to me, newgrounds was my childhood. it was a unforgettable experience, i still remember times getting caught watching the 18+ animations, or my family walking by and asking "what are you watching?". the funny thing was at the time, i didn't know what i was watching either, but i loved it. from madness series to nockforce, egoraptor, sleepycabin crew, sexuallobster, zone-tan,the game jams, street fighter and metal gear collabs, the sonic rpg and mortal kombat vs street fighter sprite animations, the old shitposts and terrible strawberry clock memes, all the different holidays, anything you can think of. there was so much for me to enjoy, it introduced me to so many animators and content creators that i love to death, and definitely influenced the humor and creative process that i have today. it saddens me that newgrounds is not as big as it was, and that patreon has replaced newgrounds for animators and content creators, but i did enjoy the laughs and entertainment it brought me over the years. ps.

They made it to a TV show in canada (where they and I am from) called Much DisBand (Much being the name of the channel, then called MuchMusic). They changed their name, was forced to change styles by their "Music Guru" then were told to disband because they weren't sellable enough. They made some music, then actually disbanded. And i know all this because i went back to New Grounds and found them. I used to love new grounds as a kid.

Man Newgrounds. That brings me back! Blockhead, Klayworld, Leo and Satan, Salad Fingers, Strong Bad. So much nostalgia

consistently amazing

That was an amazing way to put it. Honestly a lot of people sort of abandon their goals in wanting to do animation because it might be to hard or they lose their focus. if you want to make something, anything just don't give up. this is a huge motivator (as well as advertisement) for newgrounds and it's people. I find some old things there that I fully enjoy almost each day and it goes to show it really has a long road ahead of itself.

Wow, 17 on trending, congrats dude. Cool to see this channel growing, you make really good videos

Wow I miss new grounds. So many good memories as a kid on there

I remember when I was a young teen, we didn't have cell phones with internet back then and we only had one computer. At night, I'd sneak out of my room and go on Newgrounds to watch videos by Zone. I was terrified of being caught back then, keeping the volume as low as I could since I couldn't find any headphones and always looking over my shoulder to make sure no one else was there.

2002 .. i was soo happy when my movie ( Galapagos ) was number one in the newgrounds Portal for many days i would stay up all nite reading all the comments in my movie again and again i was 14 ..those were the days .

anyone remember playing Pico on newgrounds back in the late 90s?

I swear this guy could talk about paint drying and I'd still be interested. Top notch work, man. keep it up.

I love it when you upload i can always expect great editing and high quality content.

#14 on trending. Holy cow kaptain, your content is magnificent, enjoyable, soothing even. the work you put into your pieces is admirable. I love the writing and editing off course, much like Oceans Ultra, your videos bring so much nostalgia to so many of us, bittersweet maybe, but amazing. Thank you for the great content.

Production values are off the charts, my man. Great work.

Superb video, and I just want to say thank you for covering this era of animation. I feel it's as important as you highlight it to be, and I can't wait to see what comes of this generation of animators. Big fan of your content dude, props dude.

You're stuff actually inspires me. Like, I cannot explain it, but I just tear up watching your content. You talk about all the things that have been good in my life and bring them to light. Thanks man.

Absolutely outstanding, not only grew up on Newgrounds, but with. being 14 in 2004 was a wild time for someone who just got cable internet. It's going to be really hard going forward trying to explain the internet pre-boom. How do you describe Autumn Tree, the flash based on Columbine, or just the dumb funny flash videos that always struck front page. I seriously think there could be books on the internet before everyone had cable internet, youtube, amazon, and facebook which now rule the world and everythings based on Twitter and Instagram. Thanks for makin this, great job

Sadly, Newgrounds is blocked in my country. You'll need a VPN to open it here. **sigh** So much for freedom...

Indonesia. The fucking ministry is soo stupid with their whole "positive internet" bullshit (censoring "bad" stuff). Like, can't we take care of ourselves as responsible citizens? Are all of us 8 year olds who can't handle things like that? Come on now...

Man... I literally went to the trending tab on purpose for the first time ever and found your channel and ive just been fucking watching for like an hour... honestly just thanks for bringing to light how much all of this shit from my childhood means man, I never thought about most of the stuff you talk about yet it's almost painfully relevant. Keep it up homie

I immediately got goosebumps once a video from you came up. Great analysis as always!

Just became an NG supporter because of this video :) thanks for reminding me of my roots

It was the first place I started sharing music. I was inspired by the community with it's wide range of art, animation, and music that I just can't seem to grow out of. Newgrounds has been a place welcoming everyone from already famed users and those starting to seek dreams for what they were passionate about. Newgrounds is truly the place where dreams start. I miss the old Audio Portal where top weekly songs were featured by our robot friend jamming to our tunes.

This got me to binge a bunch of stick figure fights on Newgrounds and KZread. The Hyun's Dojo KZread channel is worth checking out.

This was such a well out together video. Can't wait to see more.

2017: this video. 2022: Smiling Friends

rip edd gould

Your videos, as always, are excellent. Keep up the good work and the high quality standard. :)

Great video, great animation! I still remember how I played old games on Newgrounds on a very old and crappy computer... Oh, the good ol' times

I still remember setting NewGrounds as the Homepage when I was a kid :')

Used to play some pretty twisted and fun flash games there as a teenager, something like piku?

This video almost made me shed a tear. As an artist it gives me a delightful feeling knowing that no matter what happens there's always gonna be a community of like minded individuals to share ideas with one another.

phenomenal video, every time you get me right in the feels!!

This is still an incredible video to this day

Holy shit, your word choice is so damn poetic. Top notch!

I still visit the site at least once a day, it was Edd Gould who led me there, great video Kaptain.

Damn, having all these og newgrounds creators is hitting me in the feels.

If you like the new grounds style animation and need a good laugh, look up doodle doods. It's Ross, Egoraptor, oney and guests drawing popular characters without reference in a time limit. Quality work

Man... seeing that Disney CalArts class and then the new school animating class made me think... black animators are extremely hard to find... hard to agree with the "everything, by everyone" when you don't see much of everyone... Just thinking about how I wanted to animate once and a lot of my friends did and do, but is there really a place for us to do that? Who knows! Newgrounds was legendary though, I should upload music there again.

Great and informative mini-documentary. Not only about about Newgrounds itself, but its unique position compared to KZread and other big websites, as well as its important role for animators and the community surrounding it since around the turn of the century as a whole. While it was kept largely objective in tone, one could definitely feel the passion and personal involvement you put in this video. This is likely to invoke some nostalgic emotions to anyone that's been or still is part of this community. Although you haven't uploaded that many videos here as of yet, I already got the impression that Newgrounds had a major impact on you.

It has been quite a long time since I have been on NG. I remember spending hours watching stick fight animations over and over again.

In about 10 years we'll see a bunch of 2d movies in theaters
