Hey everyone, I just wanted to say that it means the world to me that after nearly a year of this coming out I still get comments filled with compliments! I worked so hard on this documentary at a time that was a struggle between covid and a not so great home set up. So just wanted to thank you all for the nice comments :) Hope you enjoy!
P.S. Working on another big documentary, chat soon
Thanking is to you! Really heartwarming to see a documentary of a game I love so much. Wish you the best.
ye🙂
wtf i thought media molecule made this documentary, that's really cool
the moment my dad brought this game for me when i was little i was completely and utterly obsessed, playing it from the minute i woke up or got home from school until i was forced to go to sleep. there is nothing i loved and still love more than this game. i met so many incredible friends and have endless memories ill never forget. I'm devistated about the servers being shut down to this day and would do anything to go back to it.
The good thing is that there is still online for some systems with LBP 3
I felt the exact same way!
I remember I slept over bedtime in a Sunday with my ps3 on, and guess what game it was on, LBP...
Bro loves lbp more than his own parents 💀
There’s a private server nowadays!
“No you can’t quit yet!”
“Ok fine”
“Good, you’re fired”
🗿
Wow an entire documentary about my best game i played in my childhood, nice!
I agree
Me too bro
we all miss LBP so much :(
@The void banana
The servers are tho, for now
@@someonewhohadadream8578 they will be back up tho
@@lbpfan315 i hope so
@@someonewhohadadream8578 Sadly no, Only LBP 3 for PS4 servers are up now.
@@dbzboi8389 Yeah but it just doesn’t feel the same as the older ones, my favourite out of all of them was lbp2. It’s sad to see that the old games’ servers were shut down.

actual goosebumps.....
Alot of nostalgia hit me at the same time right there
LittleBigPlanet is that "if you know, you know" game. Truly amazing series, and I hope it has some sort of revival... perhaps on PC outside of the Project Lighthouse private servers.
This is 2 years late, but idc. This documentary is amazing. It gave me so much more information and an incredible, indepth look into the creation of this masterpiece of a video game. I especially love how much care and emotion was put into the video. The music, quotes from the developers/art director and the visuals were just PERFECT additions to the video. This wasn’t just a documentary, it was an experience. Well done man, well goddamn done ❤️
"User generated content is never going to stop" damn that line made me cry
Kareem is amazing!
I've always wanted to know more about the development of little big planet, and really wanted to see more about media molecule's story. This video has great presentation and fantastically organized information. Brought back tons of memories and was extremely interesting to see the story that created my childhood.
Damn, I really miss LBP. This might just be my biased childhood nostalgia speaking, but everything about this game was charming. It had soul. I might buy a sony console just to be able to play Dreams, hopefully it'll evoke similar feelings.
You're spot on! It was such a trip making this because LBP is one of those games that has such an amazing energy and soul!
LittleBigPlanet is the most soulful game I've ever stumbled upon. And I am forever grateful that I found this piece back in 2008.
If I ever see a new LittleBigPlanet game, I can only hope it reignites the original feelings of LittleBigPlanet; being someone in a world bigger than yourself created by the dreams of people around you. It had such a genuinely crafty feel to it. Things felt realistically put together so it actually felt like you were in a world made of the mishmashed, dreamy recreations of the world around us
Watching how this game was born makes it feel so special
To this day, I am glad to say there were only two game franchises which actually made me want to stay up late just to keep playing. One was Dark Souls, the other, this one.
I used to have so much god damn fun fooling around with the game it felt dreamish then, and still does feel that way whenever I look back.
I truly, TRULY wish I can relive this sort of experience someday, because the end of my time with this cute little fella spelt the end of the best years of my life, and the start to a life of spiralling down to a constant state of wanting to do everything and just wanting to lay in bed.
I hope the people making 'restitched' will be able to capture a similar experience to what LittleBigPlanet has done.
I’m back, LittleBigPlanet is literally everything I want to stand for creating something that can bring people together. 100/10 documentary amazing voice over I love this. Great job
LBP was my childhood game pretty much, and ive just recently picked it up again because i finally have my own playstation now (i used to play on my brothers playstation. My "own" playstation is actually my brothers old ps4 haha) and it makes me so nostalgic and happy that ive almost cried several times during this video. Thank you so much for creating this game
one thing LBP deserves more credit for is that it was released over 6 months before the first developmental version of Minecraft was ever uploaded. They were the first piece in a massive wave of creative, user generated content based games that defined pretty much the next decade of gaming
The fact that we have almost the same amount of subscribers is criminal. You are severely underrated and this documentary was one of the most captivating and interesting ive seen on youtube, you really have a good future in making documentaries like this the quality and editing is top notch, i hope you get more attention because you surely deserve it man for sure.
Thanks so much for the lovely message 😁
This game was part of my childhood since the day it released back in 2008. I'm glad to know that now, about 13 years later there's still people making documentaries about it!
Great job.
This video reminds me of the good ol days where I'd used to read MM's blog for updates on the game, thank you for making this doc!
It was my pleasure 😁
You actually sound like Steven fry which is absolutely impressive.
Thank you. I did the voice :) And was aiming for a bit of the Legend :)
I have to say, this documentary was amazingly made, it had my constantly hooked.
Well done Pumkin!
Thanks so much the lovely comment!
The entire LBP series is by far my favourite gaming franchise of all time! What an amazingly crafted video documenting the making of this incredible game which shaped many childhoods, including mine. Absolutely love the quote from Kareem at the end there -
"Just be yourself, because everyone else is taken anyway."
Damn... the nostalgia
This was lovely, when you see all the devs speak about this game it's so clear how it managed to be as good as it was. It felt like everyone really cared about this project and were firing on all cylinders. Great job for capturing that.
This is way too good to only have 1K views. This channel will blow up soon and I'll be here the whole damn way.
Thanks so much for the comment, it honestly means a lot! More amazing docs to come!
I literally cried whilst watching this. I thank god for my sisters ex-boyfriend for bringing LBP2 to the house and giving it to me. I met my best friend for 8+ years on there, without this franchise, I legit would not be who I am today. Little Big Planet was a safe space, a haven where I could simply be my annoying kid self and make the weirdest shit ever and laugh about it. Roleplaying, costume creation, copying other peoples works/objects (AKA community objects); it was everything I could ever dream of. Ever since they officially closed servers, I honestly still haven’t completely gotten over it. I made so many memories on this game, good and bad. Recently however, I’ve seen a resurgence in LBP content on youtube. Cute and funny memes of SackBoy “shaking his sack booty” for Stephen Fry. It’s stupid, I love it 😭. Oh I also forgot to mention how amazing the community is, to this day it’s just full of amazing and creative people. God I love this game, I could go on about it forever but just to cut it short, thank you so much for creating this documentary. Not only does this video deserve more attention, but so does your channel 💗.
Its cool to see a documentary about the best creative and fasinating game ever.
This was absolutely brilliant! Thank you for sharing this amazing story with us. It's easy to forget sometimes that these game development studios had a beginning. This was absolutely fascinating and it was perfect being able to hear the story from the team themselves. Your editing is top notch too. Thank you for sharing this with us!
Thanks so much for the lovely comment! It means a lot to me that many are enjoying the doc, hope you stick around because there are alot more docs to come!
I have literally played LittleBigPlanet ever since I was 2 years old and haven’t stopped. It’s amazing to see this series still going strong as ever!
39:55 the music played here nearly moved me to tears lmao 😭😭
the feelings knocked me off my feet aha
thank you for this. i was 4 years old in 2008 and had the opportunity to be on Australian reality show "domestic blitz" where i won a new PS3, my first gaming console. I was allowed to choose one game for my prize. I chose little big planet, the first game i had ever owned. i must have played this game every night with my brother when i got home from school up until i was like 9. There was something charming, comforting in the artstyle, the blend of genres, the music, the volatility. I played all the levels i could, and i had so many favourites. these days I'm in artist and it wasn't until recently i realised that some of my style was influenced by things like the textures and sticker sets of this game. to learn how it came to be; built from the ground up by a team with an idea so unique, full of nerve, to being played through the majority of my childhood has really been a nostalgic trip for me. this video made me feel a lot of things
18:50 GENIUS !!!!!!! These guys are sooooo psychedelic and I LOVE IT. Inspires me to bring something beutiful into this world truly
This is extremely well made! It's very rare for longer videos for littlebigplanet so I'm grateful for this! I'm so happy other people still love this game franchise that is still important to me. Well done!

Heh, awesome to see my work in this docu.
Thanks for making me smile, remembering all the great times I have had making world in LittleBigPlanet :)
You did an amazing job! Thanks for watching the documentary Yoeri!
Near the end at 40:28 there’s a shot that made me sit up and remember. That’s from PS Home! I doubt many people even remember that relic, but ps home was really interesting and honestly feels like an early vr chat experience. Miss the old ps3 days
This hit me in the feels, I love how Studio Ghibli's movie had an influence on the game's visuals! And not only that, but how we as players have also inspired one another (the cycle of inspiration never ends)💛 This game has such a special place in my heart. Thank you for making this documentary!
I miss the days of playing lbp2 after school so much. I'm at least happy I was able to experience all those good times. But Damn does is hurt not being able to just hop on anymore and make random friends
My story with LBP starts with the PS3 designated demos. I was really, really young when I started playing. To say that the saga has impacted my life would be an understatement. I'm now a teen essayist, artist, and content creator looking to take that next big creative step, and I have decided to go back to LBP to figure myself out. I've always been curious about how LBP came to be, and I'm really happy that I've found this video. It presents itself in such a pretty manner, it feels so cared for. You should be proud of your work, it is a great piece, and it's really inspiring.
Really excited to see what else you've got on the horizon!
Wow this is really something. LittleBigPlanet 1 is my favorite game from the series. I loved that it was so much more simple and constrained. I think Alex said it best at 29:41. Thats why I still create levels in this game to this day. Thank you MM for creating this awesome game and thank you Pumpkin Dynasty for this documentary
And thank you for watching and supporting :)
This video was so well made that I thought it was official. That's how perfect it is to me. Thanks for the nostalgia trip, mate!
wow, i've seen a lot of littlebigplanet development videos, and the majority of them just retell the same story, but this has so much more information and emotion. great video
NO WAY!!!! my first ever playstation game was Rag Doll Kung Fu !!! I loved that game as a kid (5 to 6 years old) it was always funny to me. As a person that states Little Big Planet will forever be my favorite game of all time, this makes it even better! I had no idea.
You can definitely see the similarities
The passion behind this game is truly amazing... almost tear-jerking when you consider what a tremendous impact the series has had on so many of our lives. Brilliant video! Thank you for making it :)
This... This does put a smile on my face.
The presentation, editing, and quality of this video was absolutely amazing, while also giving new information and insight behind one of my favorite game series. Kept me hooked all the way through so it was an easy subscribe for me. I hope to see a part 2 about the development of Little Big Planet 2 someday.
Thank you so much for the lovely comment! I've got a lot of cool ideas for game documentaries in the works :)
This got recommended to me today, just in time for me to see this in my birthday
Little big planet has always been a important thing to me, it's more than a game, it's a whole world in which you can grow, learn and a lot more, it doesn't matter where you are in life, here you can be yourself and enjoy a wild ride
The documentary was really interesting, but It's kinda sad that the film is not really popular, which it should.
I have been chasing the fun and imagination this game brought me ever since i was a kid. I have never found a game like LBP. Im hoping restitched will recapture the fun, imagination, and love poured into this game.
watching the whole process and hearing the devs feelings and explanation of events, and the love they put in and appreciation they felt for their players was so awesome
Everybody in this video seems so charming and I owe them a lot of my best memories in terms of videogames. It's honestly really touching to hear them thanking the people who embraced their game and did things they couldn't even imagine with it. Really great work on this.
Awesome video man. Takes me way back. That first year when LBP was released was like nothing else. I can’t imagine what it must’ve felt like to be at the heart of it all when it happened. Bittersweet.
LBP made so many childhoods, the devs really have no idea how much joy they gave us!! great video
This is so nice, I love the ending and I had no idea about the Rag Doll Kung Fu stuff lol
Thanks for watching! I love chatting to Mark and Alex about RDKF so im glad you enjoyed and found that part interesting!
I'm finally going to be able to play these games after 5-6 years and I couldn't be happier. This game changed my life and allowed me to be creative in a way I'd never experienced before. Now knowing what the amazing team at Media Molecule did to make this fantastic game gives me new appreciation for it. I think I speak for every fan of Little Big Planet when I say that this game is the absolute best. Although the third games gets shit on quite often I think there are still things everyone can appreciate and enjoy about it. :)
Dude, you're absolutely amazing.
Haha thanks Lapis! I hope you had a good time watching :)
Holy shit I agree
I’ve had this documentary in my watch later tab for about 2 years… finally watched it today and I must say, what a documentary. Thank you for making this from the bottom of my heart.
What a wonderful documentary! So inspiring.
This game was absolutely a game changer and still the golden standard of perfect balance of a standalone video game and a platform for games.
It is very interesting to hear that the "tactile world" vs "digital tools" was an internal debate within the team. You can absolutely feel the former taking over in LBP2 as opposed to LBP1, where all the logic was simpler, more physical and out in the open. As a kid, I really appreciated LBP2's tools, but these days I yearn for the craft world feel of LBP1.
Great document btw!
LBP has been a huge part of my life, even though I was in my mother's pregnant stomach when the first game arrived, I was born a year and a 4 months later.
Biggest years have been 2016-2018.
This video is criminally underrated. Where are all the views!?
*Sees no dislikes*
"This does put a smile on my face"
Such an underrated video. These guys are the true definition of game developers and i'll always be grateful for their work and dedication towards lbp. My mind went wild playing this game and the community and unlockables just added so much to my curiosity it was like i could never get enough. Absolutely revolutionary of a game, I do hope that maybe mm might emerge again and do something even more ambitious, but for now it seems like dreams is still their #1 as of now from what I know.
what a brilliant documentary, can't flaw it it any way. thank you pumpkin dynasty for bringing this into the world.
WOW you did such an amazing job putting this whole documentary together. From one editor to another, you did a great job editing fron start to finish. Much respect!
its crazy to think about how these guys literally made our childhoods... really cool video, deserves way more views!
I enjoyed watching this. LBP was my childhood game and I thought it was fun to see how its made
Amazing documentary, would love to see the transition from LBP 1 to 2 from MediaMolecules perspective. Thank you for making this!
This is one of my favorite video game series and im glad that there is fan servers now that brought back up the originals on ps3 and even rcps3 now its crazy how much this game affected everyone that played it and i still play it too this day
HOW DO YOU ONLY HAVE 300 SUBs???? THIS IS AWESOME!
If you’re the creator of this Doc, thank you, was great, and had so many great stories! ❤
I was born after the peak of lbp. But my dad had his old ps3, and I always wanted to play it, I always wanted to create level, although they weren't that good. And I just found the ps3 a few weeks ago and haven't stopped playing lbp 1 and 2 since.
This is an incredible documentary on one of the most influential games of my life. This channel is woefully underappreciated for its level of quality and love. I deeply look forward to your future works!
Great Documentary can you do LittleBigPlanet 2 & Karting?
This has got to be one of my favourite games of all time, and this documentary made me want to replay it all over again.
Absolutely brilliant video production- I hope you get the attention you deserve, this is amazing!
Thank you so much for making this. I'd done a bit of my own poking around on the topic of Media Molecule before, but I was really happy to be shown so much new insight into the making of this game I love so much!
Such an inspirational video too. Shows all the work and thought and love and care that goes into a product this good. Thanks Mm, and thanks Pumpkin Dynasty :)
Was thinking today about some games, and realise just how much that love and passion put into development comes out in the game. It's a rare thing to see!
Man you made me cried man. My childhood nostalgia right here! Loved the editing and presentation as well as the narrator's voice! Amazing video :)
What a wonderful comment, thanks for taking the time to watch 🙂
@@pumpkindynasty No, thank you for doing a quality documentary.
OMG THIS NEEDS MINIMUM 1M VIEWS MORE
Amazing documentary, really cool to see the insights of the developers of lbp and the little stephen fry-esque narration scenes were much appreciated!
Love how your voice sounds like the in game narrator
Loved the video! LBP is dear to me and started my spark for creativity and i one day hope to make my own game. perhaps then ill be able to tell them all directly, thank you for the inspiration! Hope you make more great documentaries!
Amazing documentary! Thank you so much for making this. Was always curious about the process and the team behind this masterpiece. those 45 minutes flew by quick felt more like 20. LBP will always be fond part of my childhood! Excited to see what more they can do with dreams and beyond!
amazing documentary i hope more people see this.
This was my childhood :D
Thanks for this video
I couldn't stop laughing when the LBP Hub trailer showed up 🤣
I learned alot about lbp, i never knew how small the company was, along with the compony being created because of lbp.
Wth? This is such a well-made documentary for such a tiny youtube channel. Insta-subbed. Thank you for this hard work and helping me relive some of my childhood. :D
Appreciate the comment!
this was lovely and cosy to watch! LittleBigPlanet is my favourite game of all time, and I know *all* of this already, but going back into it felt so wonderful, especially with so much of the creators' voices to tell the story. thank you, thank you!
This game and its franchise is a masterpiece
Amazing job! This was a joy to watch!
Rag Doll Kong Fu!? From the same guys?!?!? Insane. The arm-control feature is still in lbp too, wow. Me and my friends played that game like crazy. And I put thousands of hours into both lbp1 and lbp2, these devs are absolte legends. And the YELLOWHEAD SKIN, it's freaking dev lore, holy.
I think the game I'm currently most looking forward to is Hytale because it promises to be like minecraft but with official support for integrated modding tools (sharing their own 3D software and other tools with the community so they can make content.) And as a game releasing for PC it will have even more range than lbp ever could as an exclusive.
LittleBigPlanet had a really profound impact on me. I even created an extra PSN account because I ran out of space to release additional levels. One of my levels got over 1.500 plays and I remember all the kind comments of players encouraging me to make sequels for my levels. I remember letting my online friends testing my levels and trying to find bugs.. It was such an amazing experience.
Thank you so much for creating this video.
Cmon, this video deserves so much more love! It’s so in depth and such a great documentary of the game we all grew up with, bringing back nostalgia from 2010, 2011
I’m so glad this came up in my recommended :D
Love the video, you obviously understand the community, and I love that.
Great video! Excited to see what you make next!
I recently grabbed LBP again to be sad at the fact that the OG servers are down. So i got 3 and have been messing around. Love it in the same way i used to in middle school!
ohhhhh the memories, will never forget the good days of dreamers making Shark & Bomb Survival Lveles
this documentary is amazing and informative for the game i loved as a kid, now 18 years old i can appreciate a work of this caliber- the game and your documetary xd, but seriously bravo!
Amazing work on the documentary! love it !! One for the history of videogames and to be studied in the future
Bruh this deserves more views, honestly baffling
I absolutely loved this! I haven't thought about LBP in a few years, but I saw this, sat down, and had a very lovely breakfast watching this. Thank you for the lovely (very high quality and polished might I add) video and the nostalgia!
Wow this was a great video and it deserves so many more views and likes than it has gotten so far. Hopefully it gets picked up by the algorithm more.
