That is what i was thinking lol. They are so cute

The majority of Open Arms animations is Polites shoving Ody into bodies of water. It's hilarious and I'm glad that's a headcanon we have collectively agreed upon

Love how cute the lotus eaters look here and showing Polyphemes' cave in the distance at the end was a fantastic touch.

The way Polites just grabs the lotus eater is just adorable 😭❤️

I love this so much! I also like how stoic Odysseus looks almost the entire time, most likely because he’s been conditioned by Athena to toughen up, even around his best friend. Ohhh, another thing-I loved how he pushed the lotus fruit against Polites’ chest, as if calling him naive for even thinking of being friendly with others. (SPOILERS BELOW) Gives it more angst for when Polites dies later on.

Yeah! He’s so stoic that even when Polites is pointing out he feels guilty he doesn’t look away or tense or anything he just doesn’t look aware. Instead he just continues staring like it’s something he can’t process what Polites is saying to him. 😭😭 Or maybe I’m looking too into it- either way I think it’s an interesting bit that intended or not is a nice detail.😁✨

Polities will always be my favorite character😭

I love how you did Polites movements. I love how Odysseus pulled Polites back when the lotus eater appeared I love how the lotus eaters look like bulbasaurs and that you can tell that those are lotus on their heads. Also, the way they cover their eyes for the "stay back".They are sooo cute! That whole cliff scene is worth the price of admission! The colors, the expressions, the wind, Polites, the camera turn, the clouds, the hug as they face the island and the cave! It is so sweet and tender, which makes it feel tragic because we know what comes next, we know what they are facing and looking towards. Also, I'm not sure if this was what you were going for, but the act of Polites handing him the lotus fruit, while he is saying his message about greeting the world with open arms, it gives me this quality of, yes greet the world with open arms even if there are consequences and things that can go wrong. It feels like such a Polites sentiment, that even if it wasn't intentional, I like it! You did such great work! Rest, eat, hydrate and take care of yourself now! You earned it! 🙂❤

I love the detail that Odyseus keeps one of the Lotus fruits for later. This animatic is amazing, we greet it with open arms.

Aw maaaan, I love how touchy your Polites and Odysseus are, how they hold hands, nudge each other, all the half-hugs... How Odysseus smiles at Polites so happily (I see Wolfy's influence and your version is just as glorious), how gently Polites offers his advice and gets listened to....AAAAAAAA Me when I see a lotus eater getting a pat from Polites: IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME!!!!!! Anyway, I really love your work and I hope you'll continue your Epic-animation journey!

We can all agree; everyone needs someone in their life like Polites. This was super cute btw I love it

Polites really said "y e e t" when tossing Ody into the water lmao

The eye roll Odysseus gave when Polites elbowed him was just perfect ;P

OMG I love that in this version, the reason Odysseus has the lotus to help them escape the cyclops is because Polites gave it to him. Also the lotus eaters are so cute!

For your first animatic, this turned out phenomenal. I love how smooth the animation was. It looked like the characters never stopped moving. Also enjoyed Polites' cute interactions with the lotus eaters and how you portrayed Polites' and Odysseus' friendship. Well done! You've got yourself a new sub

this is hands down my favorite Open Arms animatic, it's so fluid and pleasing, i love it!!

This is what you call underrated

I love itm the art style, Lotur eaters look so cute, the little eye roll Odysseus does at at 2:34 (at least that's how I see it), and the ending. All of this is just so good.

The animation is soooooo smooth, while still feeling like an animatic. And I can definitely tell you took a lot of inspiration from Mercsi.

oh god, this is maybe the most fluid animatic i've seen from this community, i absolutely love it1

This is so well done! Excellent character expressions. You understand emotion and expression very well. Odysseus’s stoicness is subtle, he’s protective, he’s scared to loose who he cares about, he’s afraid to open up. You portrayed the subtitle very well. Also, Polities giving him the lotus was a great touch. He gave Odysseus what saves his men in the end. EXCELLENT! I look forward to seeing more of your work

1:09 all the lotus eaters covering their little bulbasaur eyes 🥺

Shouldn't have greeted that cyclops with open arms...

Watching this isnt enough, I need to ABSORB this animatic

Your Polites is so cute and animated! You really captured what a sweetheart he is

Frankly, this is a delightful animatic of what may be my favorite song in the entire musical thusfar, and unfortunately, I'm going to have to investigate the rest of your content. You brought this upon yourself. (Great work! Looking forward to seeing more!)

Ooo, is this a masterpiece I see? YES YOU BET IT IS!!! I love everything about this: the colours, the facial expressions, how comfortable the movements between Polites and Odysseus are! Especially when Polites chucked Ody into the body of water, that was so neat haha. Keep up the good work! ❤❤❤

love that you finished the last song of epic nothing happens after this besides a nice water god and a nice wind god and a nice cyclops that gives them both a map home ands some food to get there

The last scene is chef’s kiss ❤

The lotus eaters remind me of a regional Bulbasaur and I adore them 😭💚🩵🩷

I love how it looks like Oddyseus is being played with against his will in the background 1:43

For an animatic, it’s so smooth that it brings me tears :’)

Ahhhh it’s so cute and well animated!!! All the little adjustments to their poses makes MY hand hurt😂😂 it gives it so much life tho!!!! Ty for sharing!!!

This was so gr great! The move ment was flowing so well! Even the best anematics have a sense of awkwardness , but thos soon good!

This is so good and pure and just makes what happens so much worse 😭

I know they're captioned, but here's the lyrics: [POLITES] You can relax, my friend [ODYSSEUS] Huh? [POLITES] I can tell you're getting nervous So do yourself a service And try to relax my friend [ODYSSEUS] I'm fine, Polites [POLITES] Think of all that we have been through We'll survive what we get into I know that you're tired of the war and bloodshed Tell me, is this how we're supposed to live? Look at how you grip your sword enough said Why should we take when we could give? You could show a person that you trust them When you stop and lower your guard Here we have a chance for some adjustment Give it a try, it's not that hard I'm telling you This life is amazing when you greet it with open arms Whatever we face, we'll be fine if we're leading from the heart No matter the place, we can light up the world Here's how to start: Greet the world with open arms Greet the world with open arms [LOTUS EATERS] Welcome! [ODYSSEUS] Stay back! [LOTUS EATERS] Stay back! [POLITES] My friend, greet the world with open arms [ODYSSEUS] We're only here for food [LOTUS EATERS] Food [ODYSSEUS] Six hundred friends are waiting for us to show our faces [LOTUS EATERS] Food [ODYSSEUS] Stay back, I'm warning you If we don't get back safely, my men will turn this place into blazes [LOTUS EATERS] Here you go [POLITES] See? This life is amazing when you greet it with open arms Whatever we face, we'll be fine if we're leading from the heart No matter the place, we can light up the world Here's how to start: Greet the world with open arms Greet the world with open arms [ODYSSEUS] My friend, I wish that I could say that I agree But look at the way this fruit is glowing and filled with glowing seeds It took me a while to notice what kind of fruit they eat It's a lotus, it controls your mind and never lets you free That's what we'd get with open arms [POLITES] Lotus eaters, I'd like to show my friend that kindness is brave Could you tell me where there's other food to eat? [LOTUS EATERS] The cave [POLITES] A cave! You're saying there's a cave where we could feast? And where do we sail to find this food-filled cave? [LOTUS EATERS] East, that way! [POLITES] Thank you! [LOTUS EATERS] Welcome! [POLITES] This life is amazing when you greet it with open arms I see in your face, there is so much guilt inside your heart So why not replace it and light up the world Here's how to start: Greet the world with open arms Greet the world with open arms [ODYSSEUS] Greet the world with open arms [POLITES] You can relax, my friend
