I think this is probably one of the few animatics that's genuinely changed a song for me- the upbeat, fast-paced tone contrasted against the nightmarish environment of the apocalypse creates what has GOT to be some of the coolest dissonance I've seen so far. Especially because the lyrics still fit so perfectly- this is their roaring 20's, just desperately trying to stay alive and cope. I love this so much!

thank you so much! exploring the juxtaposition of the song and the story, both on the whole and in particular combinations of lyrics/music and the visuals was definitely my favourite part of working on this :) (aside from drawing Donnie's snoot 39568 times haha!)

The whole theme of the song being “his roaring 20s” with irony fits so well, and is really sad to - because this is Donatello’s (and all of their) “roaring 20s”. Rather than be out having fun and being a young adult, he’s had to struggle to survive in an apocalypse, deal with grief before tragically dying painfully with no end to his suffering. He died before he could be at peace with the fact, before he could say goodbye. His 20s were just fear and fighting with no break until death - until “home”, as the song suggests. He wants to go home, because it means the return to normalcy. He never got there, a true tragedy for him and his brothers, all suffering until the end. Basically what I’m trying to say is that this is amazing, I’ve watched it like 3 times already and about to watch it again

thank you so much for taking the time to write this all out, you are echoing my thoughts exactly! if i am completely honest, my general hc for the Bad Future timeline+donnie's death differs from what i did here - specifically because the song dictated a lot of what would happen and how, and that included putting them in their twenties. and also making his death nearly completely meaningless :")))) thank you for watching!

@@magpiecrown9202 I just find the whole future time line tragic for the boys, and your animatic really captures the hopelessness of the entire thing through the tragedy of Donnie’s (needless) death, when he should be still being…well, a kid with his brothers. All before he was even middle aged. The writers really pulling “oh yeah the apocalypse happened and no one was happy ever again and they all died” is actually really depressing. Sure they fixed the timeline but it still existed. Also I am drawing fanart of this death now you cannot stop me

I love this entire animatic so much, don't get me wrong, but my absolute favorite part is before it even begins. The trigger warning. Like, just look at nerdy ol' Donnie lookin up at the words, breaking the fourth wall as usual, and then he sees the "Implied character death" and he just goes, "Wait what." And then the emoticon is just shoved in his face- It's so lively and Donnie's character is captured so well for such a small moment. It really shouldn't be the best part, but to me it is, because it just has so much life and energy and it's such a cool contrast to the rest of the video and I... I love this animatic, man.

djfk it's genuinely so nice to hear you say that! despite the animatic's overall theme, the song is just to peppy for me to not have made a peppy intro to match, and I'm glad it's not... too incongruent? and Donnie breaking the fourth wall on the regular is fr one of my favourite parts about the show, 🤝 :D thank you!!

I genuinely think that a bunch of tmnt fans should get together and create a new show ourselves! This is better than most of the actual episodes of any tmnt show I’ve EVER seen! If we all collabed together and made a fan service tmnt show it would be SO DARK and everyone would LOVE IT. More of this, everybody! More of this!

Holy shit what a master piece, the art, composition, the editing in time to the music, everything is fantastic.

Donnie : shows iron arm* *the guys: so- /it glows* /them: WOW

I was so excited. He had made a new arm, had a good plan and was the climax of the song and I had forgotten about the character death warning. Now I’m so sad.

Such a tragic past :(… this needs to become a fix immediately!!!

This is amazing! Leo cutting through the darkness timed with the music at 2:40?? SO COOL

mom pick me up I’m in despair 😭 I love this so much I’m gonna literally roll on the floor and die.

SCREAMING, CRYING, THROWING UP- This ✨MASTERPIECE ✨ made me shed a tear..Because of how well made and sad it is 💜 Keep this up! 👹

Absolutely insane!! I love all of it 🤩! We need more rottmnt animatics (especially Donnie focused 👀). The story was *chef's kiss*, keep up the good work.

goosebumps all over my body and shaking hands are worth replaying your masterpiece over and over again. such a pure and beautiful angst 🥲💔

I LOVE THIS SONG AND IT SUITS DONNIE SO WELL AAAH HOLY SHELL- Omg this is incredible the pacing, your style, the composition throughout this video is phenomenal!! You truly Hit all the story Beats and character moments for Future Donnie and this is absolutely heartbreaking!! Truly outstanding work😭💜💜

This might have been one of the best animatics that I have seen since one I saw based on the Drumming Song in 2010. Their designs, the song, the story just UGH! PERFECTION!

BUD I AM SCREAMING the complete flip flop I did from hyped up hand flaps at the first chorus (that black screen to everyone jumping into the air hell YEAH) to the dread and choked up feeling at the end where I wanted to legit screech YOU ARE DOING MANY THINGS TO MY EMOTIONS!!!! Your use of black and white as the general palette with punches of colour gave a weight to the mood and a lot of visual interest, and I love the lingering emphasis on Donnie's amputation through the second verse, that really hit home just how much it affected him. The song choice was STELLAR, I'd never heard it before but like some of the other commenters have said it's got this banger of an upbeat energy that contrasts so strongly with the visuals and lends a sort of "keeping my chin up out of desperation" tone to the whole story. You are KILLING IT my dude I need to watch this a bajillion more times DAMN. (PS the "enjoy :)" pushing into Donnie's face in the intro made me laugh, great stuff)

Ohmigoshohmigoshohmigosh!!! This is amazing! Everything is so well put together, from the song choice, the story telling and animation, and the way the story follows the lyrics perfectly!!! And that last shot lingering on Donnie's hand... it was tense cause I was hoping the fingers would twitch or something and when they didn't it was just like WOW! I love this!

THIS WAS SO GOOD!!! i don't have like. coherent compliments for you but i can tell how much work went into this- i love how you balanced the graveness of The Literal End Of The World with the more lighthearted moments. the song choice is FANTASTIC and i will actually think about this forever ^_^

The creature looks magnificent, this never gets old. I have watched this a hundred times.

I love this animatic so much I've replayed it many times 😆 You are amazing and so talented, this animatic broke my heart but it's so true! Donnie spent his 20s (young adult life) fighting, roaring, and... just wanting to go home... And he indeed went "home" at the end TT This video is superb, everything is amazing, I've never even heard the song Roaring 20s before but it was able to hit me right in the feels thus I appreciate this animatic so much. Very, very good job! 👍👍

-lays down on back and tries not to cry- Ugh, this just got me. Especially the end ohhhhh my god. 😭😭 You did such an amazing job with this animatic! Just amazing!! 😭💙💙

THIS LITERALLY IF MY FAVORITE ROTTMNT ANIMATIC!!! The happy feelings I get watching this are just ekgjfkgkskc

Man, I love soft-shell snout Donnie

I was having a good day, we were all having a good day 😭🤧

i litterally just keep playing this video on loop while working becaue a, this made me fall inlove with the song, and b, the video is so good and whenever i look up i happy stim

Gods this was beautifully made. The song somehow elevated the angst

WAIT WHAT THIS IS SOOO COOL

This is genuinely my favourite animatic ever. I've probably watched about 60 times tbh

2:44 This scene killed me, he looked horrified.

I… I need you to understand that I am slack jawed and I think… this video sank into my gut like a rock. Im gonna be thinking about this for a while 😭 (you did an amazing job with this tho and while I liked the vibe of this song before… I don’t think I’ll be able to hear it now without thinking of the brothers. Its going on my bad timeline writing playlist)

DAMN Amazing artwork good Lord, the story you tell is incredible with this (also the title cards were very cute lol) Amazing work!!

OH MY GOD?? THIS IS AMAZING!! you made the lyrics capture donnie so well!!

0:06 “wait what-“ HAD ME ROLLINGGGG🤣

Ever since this got posted, I’ve probably seen it 10 times already, and it’s so good!!!!!!! I love this! 10/10

This is going to sound super random but this animatic is the one and main thing that encouraged me to take that first step in joining the military. It was truly inspiring in ways I cannot describe. With my interview tomorrow and the paperwork filed I'll report back in a few months/years and definitely find myself watching this again with an update. Thank you so much for all the work and effort you put into this. It truly has had an impact on my life for the better. Keep doing what you love

OH. MY. GOD.-YOU HURT ME, I LOVE IT-

This just makes me more anxious to know how he died!😫😫 Also thank you for breaking my heart🥲🥲💜💜

This is an absolute masterpiece.

This is so sick! Also man, knowing how it's gonna end still doesn't make it hit any less hard

holy crap! the animation, the fast pace along with their emotions!! Everything was perfect!! really well done good job!!!!!

This is a literal masterpiece!!! The art is beautiful, the way the music and images line up are perfection 👌✨I am shooketh right now

Ugh panic at the disco SLAPS omg

You’re gonna make me cry 😢On the other hand besides it being an awfully sad animatic, it’s an amazing and beautifully drawn video!

Words can not describe how much I admire/love the video 😭

ES BELLÍSIMO, GRACIAS POR MEJORAR UNA DE MIS CANCIONES FAVORITAS

OML STOP THIS IS AMAZING!! A song I thought I wouldnt see in the rottmnt fandom, good choice, but damn does this hit so hard!

THIS IS AMAZING!!!😭😭😭

I am back to watch this again and let me say- not only is the whole thing very well done from the art to the story to the pacing to having the lyrics on screen (I appreciate), but it also has just the best into ever XD

im actually crying right now.

Wow.. It's a masterpiece. Truly a masterpiece, sad, sad and so beautiful. But for me, as a fan of this turtle universe, there must be four. Nothing else. After all, the Friend without a friend, the teenage mutant ninja turtles will not be the same. And this animation only strengthened my position. Thank you author for this truly magnificent work. I like it. 💙🤌🔥

rewatching this for like the tenth time because its so good like bro i love it

I found this video/song 2 days ago I'm not addicted I listen to it at LEAST 5 times a day

Absolute freaking MASTERPIECE! So many thoughts going through my head but not a single word comes out.

Everything I listen to this my roars 20 I think about future donnie

I just- I- genuinely crying this is so beautiful oh my god thank you so much

I’ve rewatched this like 7 times by now, and the ending still hurts SO MUCH. The future timeline really got me in the feels, and this animatic is amazing. You’re awesome!!

I GENULENTLY THINK THIS IS THE BEST ANAMATIC IVE EVER SEEN MY JAW IS ON THE FLOOR IM LOSING IT HOLY-

This is how they should have animated Donnie’s head, it will never not bother me they designed his forehead to about ratio to be the inverse of that of an actual soft shell turtle

That was ✨amazing✨but, it broke my heart 🥲

This entire thing is amazing but I'm not gonna lie my favourite part is at the beginning where Donnie's just chilling in the title sequence and then he's just like WAIT WHAT DO YOU MEAN CHARACTER DEATH- And then just gets smacked in the face that is comedy gold right there.
