This animatic got to me like no other art, animation, fic or more that is dedicated to the ROTTMNT movie. The art is beautiful the shots are atmospheric... What hurt the most is seeing Leo getting distant from his family, or in other words, his family not understanding him anymore and honestly sometimes not trying to understand him. His struggles against the Krang are so intense, I got serious chills. It's just all perfect. Thank you so much for drawing and sharing this!!

not kidding when I say I physically flinched a bit when leo got chucked through the debris and just left a trail of blood behind him. I have seen a handful of rise movie animatics but none have given me actual chills or caused my anxiety to go up. You do not know the pain I felt when I realized mikey wasn't gonna save him. The whole time I was waiting and then he just... couldn't open the portal. If this was even a little longer I probably would've started tearing up. Incredible work and breathtaking animatic. Please keep going I need to see more of your work, rottmnt or not. New sub

No worries, I teared up instead 👍 Nah but really- literal CHILLS.

This is my new religion. Not a single day will pass where I don’t watch this. This needs to go viral. The entire fandom must know about this. People who haven’t even watched ROTTMNT must know about this. It’s a work of ART.

i can’t even word it any better this is SHATTERING . AND GOD YOU FREAKING KILLED OFF LEO??? OH MY LORD. YOU ARE INSANE. INSANELY POWERFUL. How u can do a 7 minute animatic about the lore of these turtles is so special

Let me make this more painful... Remember they have that communication thingy.. They Heard Everything.

Stop 😭😭😭

I have a headcannon where, when Leo says ‘took you long enough’ upon seeing the portal that mikey opened to free him from the prison dimension, he didn’t know it was mikey but rather thought it was him dying/death due to his injuries and a probable concussion.

this really made me anxious, but I kept telling myself that Mikey is gonna open that portal and they'll save him. The moment where he didn't make that portal happen, my heart went AA. A A AA A A- srsly this is so good, great job, dude!! Excuse me as I sob in the corner

Felt exactly the same. I’ve been holding my tears for like 10 minutes now and trying to clear my mind to not completely shatter and start crying uncontrollably haha. Such an amazing work.

I've sat here for a few minutes, trying to think of a response that can incapsulate how amazing this animatic is, but I can't find words that can portray the true awe of this piece. I wish I could like this a 1000 times over. The song choice, the specific themes, the art, and the heart wrenching pain of watching Leo's world fall around him. God, is there a way to tattoo an animatic??? Thank you so much for making this animatic, ricecaqes. You've created something wonderful. (Also this came out on my birthday and man this is the best birthday present I could get-)

3:55 4:01 4:14 5:30 don’t mind me just looping these till I can train myself to not cry here-

One of my favorite scenes is when Leo is away from home and I love how this animatic portray the gravity and significance of the moment, the real pain and terror from never seing his family again and probably ending dying along with no chances to return... I loved this and how it transmit emotions ❤️

I'm really hoping Season 3 will be like an aftermath of the movie, it will be nice to see their recovery's both mentally and physically

Like I’ve been rewatching it so many times the past 4 days

I am quite literally sat here sobbing. No other animatic or piece of fan-work has ever evoked so much raw emotion from me. I have no words to describe how beautifully constructed this was. I have so, so much respect for you for creating such an extraordinary piece of art.

This is one of the most beautiful and emotionally powerful animatics I have even seen, Leo going through a rough patch here and I see how high the stakes truly are, I especially loved the song choice-the rise community will be in awe of each fame! Keep up the amazing work😭💙💙

I cried so hard while watching this, it’s absolutely amazing. The colors, the music, the art style , the story, everything about it. It’s a masterpiece and deserves so much more love!

Im speechless this is phenomenal, just the whole scope it leaves something completely different. Its more than just the ending where they cant save him. its the ending where he redeems his worth at the cost of his life, for the sake of everyone, despite Leo’s weaknesses and his faults he does the right thing, gambling his life. Whats better in this ending than what it was is that it give more meaning and more depth than him just miraculously being saved and brought home. The choices he makes mean something and the pain he dies from is real. I couldn’t stand in the movie how his injuries were like the Kraang was just balloons popping him and some superficial injuries were the only ones sustained. He should have fucking died from the injuries, and Mikeys focus should have broken out of emotional turmoil. You don’t get the ending you want every time and maybe that was how showing Leo die in the other verse was to give us some expectation and realism for them to just let the younger version live. Idk this one was fucking baller and just plain fantastic, it was the top tier ending and gave so much more meaning to consequences of your action and how people like Leo will go to great lengths to try and redeem themselves. Even if the redemption is solely self-sacrificing and you cant even get a chance to enjoy it, the redemption is for everyone else to look at you in a better light than how they perceived you before. This to me is a much more honorable and better suited way to show someone who was extremely selfish, giving everyone else the chance that he had to give up for himself.

fun fact: the writers of the movie were actually considering killing leo off for realsies, but they didn't do it in case rise got renewed for more episodes. because a third season without a leo would have been. . . depressing, to say the least. but i totally agree, that his death would have made the sacrifice so much more meaningful and heart wrenching plus this animatic is absolutely astounding

I am so glad to find that i am not alone in being rocked by the emotions of animated turtles 😭

When that blood streaked through the air my heart SEIZED phenomenal animatic!!!!!!

Okay, this made me emotional I’ll admit, but I giggled at 2:55. I swear that better be the Peter griffin death pose.

"He gave up........no..no....no...........nooo" was my response to this saddening masterpiece sorwe's and pain

LEOS CRYING TO HIMSELF BROKE ME

THIS IS SO DEVASTATING NOOO. The part where it says “I don’t want to die” and Leo is SO DISTRESSED AAA. ON MINUTE 4, when he grabs past him by the shoulders and slams him while crying I literally put at hand on my chest it was INTENSE. THE KRAANG BEATING HIM WAS SO IMPACTFUL TOO. I was,, crying when it showed Mikey falling to his knees sobbing,,, im so sad. AND IN THE END HE LETS GO OF THE PHOTO IM- Fantastic job, I need to go cry some more now

This is just absolutely incredible. The expressions, the shot choices, the fluidity, the emotions, the editing, everything. This hurts in a way I really can’t describe, and it really drives home how painful it would’ve been had Mikey given up. Words can do this justice. Really incredible work!!

WHY CANT I HIT THE LIKE BUTTON MORE?! This was seriously fantastic, the song choice was perfect, the expression were just ahhh *chef kiss* I can’t praise this enough

this is literally a cinematic masterpiece, it is so yummy,, I cannot believe the amount of effort u put into this !!!

you broke me- this broke me- I can’t- physically, emotionally, mentally, everywhere I am in pain- I’m sobbing on the bathroom floor- why but also thank you this is a masterpiece

OH MY GOD BRO THIS HAS ME SHAKING THIS IS LITERALLY AMAZING BUT SO PAINFUL

Oh my fucking god. This is brutally beautiful, I can’t believe how talented you are and I don’t think any other animatic has awoken this much emotion in me

That camera shake at 5:30 is SO GOOD, especially coming at the moment that deviates from the movie. Its like the entire universe shifts at that very moment under the pressure of a diverging timeline.

This is a MASTERPIECE it must've taken forever omg it was so worth it tho this is STUNNING

FUCK THIS IS GOOD Omg I love it I hate it I didn't believe when I saw it was 6 minutes and the whole time I was waiting for Mikey to finally open a portal but when he fell to his knees my heart dropped, and the fact the last thing Leo saw before he died was the picture of his family floating away I broke You're a talented and amazing artist and I hate you for making me cry over a tmnt animatic

Mikey's expression at 5:38 kills me EVERY TIME 😭 YOU CAPTURED HOW HE'S FEELING SO WELL... OUGH

CRYING AND SCREAMING FROM THIS!! AAAAAA I SAID THIS MORE THEN ONCE BUT THIS WAS AWESOME!! The way you drew the expressions, backgrounds, the turtles, just everything was just so good 💙💙 The song matches with everything and the story was so painful 😭 Wonderful wonderful job ✨💙💙

how the actual frick u had the audacity to make my anxiety go brrrrrrrrrrrrr but still it was really really GOOD all the time i was like mikey WILL open that portal and that scene rolled in and hit me like a sledge hammer GOOD JOB BUD KEEP IT UP

BROOOOOOOO!!! You have emotionally, mentally, spiritually, physically, and whatever else there is-BROKEN ME!!!!! 😭😭😭

First of all i want to say how fucking dare you. Second of all... This is by far one of my favorite rottmmt animatics. Just the flips from how his relationships were to how they ended up being were so heartbreaking. Then coming back to the present with him suffering is just OPH The hope that mikey will save him just grows as the video goes on. That moment of him gripping onto himself is just GOD. But as he's getting beat down, pummled and the CLAWING Man. SEeing how messed up he is you hope for that portal. Only when it cuts to the others we see it's not happening. Faced with the brutality of the real world. Where there are no happy endings, not for this. Not for him..

This is so good, I cannot express how much I love this animatic. The artwork is stunning, the music choice was smart, and the overall emotional impact is just... OUT OF THIS WORLD!! I normally don't cry when watching stuff like this because I like seeing my favorite (fictional) characters suffer, but this brought me to tears. I just... It's amazing. It's all amazing! Great work with this, uh, idk what else to say, so uh- Thanks for injecting emotion in my heartless soul.

This was strong- I don't even know how to expres what I'm feeling right now. I just wanted to let you know I loved every bit of this animation and I wish I could go back in time to watch this again fir the first time. Their expresion are so well made like no other animation made me feel their exact emotion in the style of the series. Just amazing, I love every bit of it.

NOT ME CRYING ALONE IN MY LIVING ROOM WATCHING THIS.... this is easily the most gut-wrenching and heartbreaking animatic i've ever seen, not just for rottmnt. i love it to absolute pieces. thank you so much for making it.

I'm...I'm unable to express how much this video means to me. It's so fucking sad, it's so fucking sad but it's so good. I nearly cried multiple fucking times. I...I love this, I love this so much. I have never felt so muched by an animatic in such a certain, specific way. Holy shit, I need to go lay down.

How many times have you watched this? Yes.

In donnies words- "I don't normally feel things but that one got through" THAT GUT FEELING OF DREAD IS SO MUCKING POWERFUL MAN ;^;

Sobbing crying sobbing crying sobbing crying sobbing crying THIZ IZ LITTERALLY SO VISUALLY BEAUTIFUL ALONG WITH THAT SONG CHOICE ITZ ALL JUST MWAUH PLZPLZ

This is like my 15th time watching this. It’s so well put together. The art, the timing, the little “shake” when Mikey realized he couldn’t open the portal. 😢 Truly a masterpiece

well this was devastating. 3:54 - 4:25 especially hit hard. the timing with "and then a fight broke out in the hallway" with Kraangified Raph was perfect, and then Leo in the prison dimension yelling at himself... man, those expressions. excellent work. I also really loved those moments with the white backgrounds, how there's a sort of soft glow to them. it makes a really good contrast to the gloom of the rest of the animatic. and speaking of contrast, 2:42 and 2:55 made me genuinely laugh out loud. just the goofiness mixed in with all the angst and trauma... immaculate. perfect encapsulation of this movie.

WHO ARE YOU TO MAKE ME SOB OVER MY COMFORT CHARACTER??? THIS ART IS SO GOOD IT MADE ME CRY

This I love. So often I see stuff like “what if he were in there for longer” but surprisingly not a lot of “well what if he just died?” and I thank you for blessing us with this masterpiece

IM NOT CRYING SOMEONE IS CUTTING ONION HELP-

Never cried this much on an animations...

I.....I have no words....like......no words.......this......this if just.......beautiful.....

I was emotional when I first watched that scene in the movie and wondered how much more it would hurt if they killed off Leo because Mikey couldn't save him... I kinda want to see how that scene would play and... I shouldn't have wondered because this hurt. I thought this could only be in my imagination but dude, you made it. It's so beautiful man ;-;. I hate you T-T.

Well....just when I thought I was out of depression...I had to be curious and watch this video to the end... Let the therapy start again. ... However, , even though this broke my heart in 10 different ways, the art in this video is incredible....it leaves you speechless.. ( as much as the fact that Leo survived so long in there with Krang ). Seriously though, this was beautiful and emotional to the point of tears. The fact that his ego brought him to this situation is all the more sad because, compared to what happens in the movie, it is much too late for him to have a second chance....sometimes, actions and the way you think can to have repercussions that pass far too late.

HOW DARE YOU, LIKE LEGIT WHY DO YOU HURT US THIS WAY???? MAN, THIS IS AMAZING BUT PLS WHY SO MUCH ANGST, I was literally yelling by the end, great work dude

ah man im just- hold on give me a sec first of all, WOW. this is incredible, the expressions and composition are so amazing and your art style first right in with it!! changing the script a little to where leo gets trapped is such a saddening AU and you managed to portray it sadder than i could imagine. absolutely amazing, keep up the great work!

The visuals here and instrumentals here brought me close to tears. On the inside though, I was definitely sobbing. Especially that ending, seeing Leo all beaten, Mikey breaking down at being unable to do anything. Chills.

HOW THE ACTUAL FCK THE EMOTIONS AND THE EXPRESSIONS AND THE FLASHBACKS AND THE WHY DOES THIS NOT HAVE MOR FCKING VIEWS BGVRJHTHH

I’m literally sobbing rn. The way you convey their emotions is beyond anything I’ve ever seen, thank you for this wonderful angst

IH NY GOD IVE NEVER CRIED LIKE THIS WATCHING A ANIMATIC..

OMG THIS IS SO GOOD i cant stop crying at this part 3:54 - 4:30 it hits so hard i have never seen an animation that has made me feel like this before and the art is so good as well im inspired by you im definitely subbing ❤

this is the most beautiful thing i've ever seen

ive sat here for 15 minutes staring at a black screen and wondering why the fuck the portal didnt open on another note this is absolutely amazing

WELP WHO NEEDS A HEART ANYWAY! *sobs violently*

I WAS GENUINELY YELLING AT MY MONITOR LIKE COME ON COME ONNNNNNNNNNNN WHEN MIKEY TRIED TO DO THE PORTAL THING ughh THIS IS SO GOOD WAAAA

... I just kept waiting for him to be rescued, and then he got pounded into the ground and I knew he wasn't coming back. Even so, when he let go of the photo I screamed. Was not expecting a ninja turtle animatic to get me crying on a Monday evening but great job!

Oh my god WHAT THE HELL?! HOW DARE YOU HURT ME LIKE THIS! GOD 💔💔💔😭😭😭😭

When Mikey dropped to the ground in defeat, I had to fucking pause. Holy fucking shit. That HURT.

I like how this animatic basically shows us what would of happened if Mikey never saved Leo so now, we get to see a different side of things

This animatic is just amazing! It captures the essence of the movie perfectly and the song contributes a lot to the overall vibe and the feelings that come up while watching. Well done, my friend. Well done ^^ 👏🏻💕🐢

You.... you had NO RIGHT. to rip out my heart. stop on it. and then tear it into tiny pieces. nO RIGHT AT ALL. WHAT. W H A T. AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH the cold lighting that is at the same time glowing with nostalgia...... the flashbacks and EMOTIONS and fucking PUNCH IN THE GUT WHEN L E O KEPT GETTING PUNCHED AND PUNCHED AND IT ONLY GOT WORSE OH MY HEART. Amazing, brilliant, fantastic. His, their, pain- absolutely delightful, delicious even 🤌

Pay for my therapy- I have watched this video so many times- the animatic: a masterpiece- my mental state: all time low but I'm blessed from seeing this.

If I had one word to describe this, it would be intense. This pulled no punches whatsoever. It’s beautiful, haunting, and masterfully done.

Ig happiness just wasnt an answer today This is apsolutely heartbreaking and you did such a great job of it I am bawling my eyes out

literally crying, especially the how they used to look at me/how they look at me now, my hearrtt

THATS OK. THATS FINE!!! I didn't need my heart anyways. 🥲 (This is soo flippin good!)

Oh my gosh... It took every fiber of my existence not to cry my eyes right out watching this. It's so saaaaaaad!

*crumples to the floor and sobs for the rest of existence*

God... I'm gonna cry.

Wow the art, the music, the emotions this is just a masterpiece ✨️ 👏 ❤️

I'm so glad that this didn't happened, because it hurts so much. Even with me knowing its just an animatic, god, it destroyed me

Underrated as heck

I am in so much pain. This animatic is so beautiful with its every scene and it captured me untill the end, not talking not breathing. And as the last flicker of hope faded away as Mickey failed at opening the portal I realised how DARK this movie could’ve gotten. Amazing animatic thank you for making it

4:04 got me so good 😭😭 it hurt my heart 💔

Okay, here we go. 1. The art in this is amazing. Genuinely, I look at these drawings of turtles and every bone in my body shatters 10 times over. (In a good way.) If I could eat nothing but your art for every day I breathe I would. And I would get papercuts but thats okay. 2. The concept of this utterly broke me. Im destroyed. Not only with the flashbacks, but how you portrayed Mikey’s utter DESPAIR near the end when he couldn't save Leo. And the way Leo let go of the picture of his family? I'm speechless. This should be playing on everyones screen on loop for all eternity. Truly amazing job!!

im not crying ur crying.

This gave me emotions 😭

Oh my gosh So many things to say: first off this is absolutely amazing!! The art is fanatical! The story and the song fits so well!!! The expressions and the emotions you can see in the characters is absolutely incredible!! But also WHY poor turtles this is so sad!! And Mikey he couldn’t open jt!! Nooo Absolutely amazing work! But completely soul crushing 😭

absolutely heart-breaking I'm going to sit in a corner and cry

Okay I’m gonna need to rewatch Mikey saving him in the movie to recover now

This got me so emotional but then I always giggle a lil just thinking about how they're literally turtles

THIS IS SO UNDERRATED WHAT. the pure emotion and mood you're able to convey with this animatic is astounding, and my heart physically hurt omg /pos istg the rise community is so talented!!

omg i can't stop watching this, it's so amazing and well thought out, and as an artist who's only ever dabbled in animation/animatic, I can't even imagine how much time and effort you spent on this, it was definitely worth it in my opinion!!! I've been hyperfixating on rottmnt for a week or two now, and I knew it would be my new hyperfixation when it made me *feel* something, like that feeling deep in your chest that just makes you wanna explode but in a /pos way, ya know? and this animatic ignited that feeling again, it was so amazing! idk if any of what I'm saying is making any sense but overall just.. yeah.. this was beautifully painful in the best way

my mind is still blown by how good this is. anyway keep up the amazing work mate

I AM VIOLENTLY SCREAMING OH MY GOD- THE EXPRESSIONS, THE MUSIC CHOICE, THE FACT THAT THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN THE CANON ENDING- I CANT- The show of Leo out into the nothing with the blood trailing behind him- Holy f u c k man- THE WAY RAPH AND DONNIE INSTANTLY WENT TO MIKEY, DESPITE ALL OF THEM COLLECTIVELY BEING IN SHOCK, THEY STILL WENT TO THEIR LITTLE BROTHER TO TRY TO COMFORT HIM AFTER TRYING HIS BEST I CANT- And Leo just- Screaming at himself for all his arrogant mistakes- GODDAMMIT- YOU HOW DARE YOU CHOKE ME BY MY HEARTSTINGS IM GONNA CRY-/POS

this animatic is driving me crazy it's so good and sad

OH MY GOSH THIS ENDED BAD. YOUR ARTSTYLE IS AMAZING!!!

This. Is. A. Masterpiece. I am in awe. I am in tears. Beauty, simply beauty.
