Hey everyone! I'm so grateful for all the support for Mall Wizard!! I've seen a few comments about the similarities between The Wizard and Steve from Bigtop Burger and I wanna say yes! I absolutely love BTB and this short is in many ways inspired by its humour! Shows like BTB, Sublo & Tangy Mustard and others are what inspired me to get into indie animation and create my own stuff online. I was also heavily inspired by those AI "Wizards in fast food kitchens" pictures. I honestly made this short for fun and to decompress after my last huge project, Hugo's Mind Palace, so I kinda just threw in everything I thought was funny lol. Also, in terms of The Wizard's voice, its a voice I've been doing for years in my D&D campaigns!
I hope to continue this series in a more unique and original direction so stay tuned!
And, in case you're interested, follow along with the progress of the new episodes over on my Patreon! patreon.com/alistairdraws
I was suprised to see that you voiced the wizard in this when I looked in the description. It's very impressive.
I love it!!!! Please make more ❤
i loved the voices of everybody in this, and the very bigtop esc animation is awesome! (and im excited to hear you wish to continue this)
gaAHHHH SKELETON- *poof*
Rlly loved it I need more fr
Banger pilot episode, keep it up broski!
Wait, he turned people into skeletons... But without casting fireball? In fact, I i don't believe I saw a single fireball cast during this video. He's not a wizard at all, is he? He's just a sorcerer posing as a wizard.
Whats the diference?
Hahahha
@@tb_neitora sorcerer's powers are innate while a wizard's powers are not innate and comes from well practiced spells or certain potions
You do know sorcers cast more fireballs than wizards, right?
How do you think he got rid of the flesh so quick? He combo’d a necromancy spell and cast pyromancy at the same time to leave only bone
This is too good of a concept for this to not have any more shorts or continuations. I also love the character of the wizard, though his voice is often much calmer then his wacky movements which is a bit disorienting.
Also, just turning the costumers into skeletons is flipping hilarious.
Keep it up. Love seeing the clever stuff you make!
honestly, i love his calm voice in goofy scenarios. really makes it feel like this is "normal" for him and exemplifies how comparitively strange he is to anyone else.
@@plutoonium Totally fair.
NO YOURUBE SHORTS
@@cubirk Shorts as in short episodes
@@benjatendo5015 oh oks i almost brain not think
the way he just assembles the cap into hs hat is great
Ah I didn't catch that first glance. Thought it just disappeared. Hahah
haha yeah
I actually died when the cash register made a Source Engine metal hit sound omfg
Plus the customers making minecraft skeleton sounds! Nice lil details
I can't tell if this was intentional, but the wizard is almost a dead ringer for Steve from Bigtop Burger in the way he talks and acts.
That’s what I was thinking too! I love it honestly lmao
For a minute I thought he was voiced by the same VA.
Him and Steve definitely would just chill out and cause casual chaos
I wouldn't say that but it's definitely inspired
When the first customer comes in It's pretty much a 1:1 recreation lmao
Glad that one guy can live his dreams of scaring people in graveyards.
Also, my dream :)
Same I love scaring people
i love that you love scaring people.
i love being scared by people.
Is this using a few of the same voice actors from Big Top Burger? I'm getting some major Steve and Penny vibes 👀
A quick Google says no, interesting!
@@JunkyardDigs honestly, i believe its inspiration, the wizard is acting like steve but not voiced by the same guy
I didnt expect JunkyardDigs here😂😂
You were the LAST person I expected here lol
No but they sound familiar
love how none of them even panic when they’re first skeletonised and just sound mildly inconvenienced by it before realising “fuck yeah, spooky time”
Anyways, i’d do anything for ✨Mall Wizard✨
I adore the Mall Wizard with my whole being. Hope we will see his verbose ass again soon
yes
The customers quickly realized the joyous spooky existence that is being a skeleton
That is exactly what a skeleton would say!
I envy the girl that said she always feared death. I've been having these anxieties surrounding death for a long while now. I constantly fear the passage of time and seeing my age number tick up one by one. It's all been keeping me from engaging and enjoying life. I know that I'm only 25 and shouldn't be having these feelings and yet here I am
I don't know if I'm envious of the girl's peace of mind or the fact that they're essentially immortal now. I just hope one day I'll be able to make peace with death
1:40 ✨️*UGGGGHH SKELETON*✨️
Dude.. wtf?💀
1:09 annnndddd I subscribed
Also I love how calm his voice is, like, this is ACTUALLY an old man who has no idea what he is doing and has no skills whatsoever aside from magic. I just love everything about this 😭💕
Really captured that "training the new boomer at work" feeling
back in his day he rocked down to electric avenue
The fact boomers still need to work is an indictment of how horrible our society has become...
@@HealyHQarent they the ones that caused most of the problems it would be morr unfair to let them go without working they cant just cause a bunch of problems for younger people and then die
Love how they're mildly annoyed about being dead but lowkey start enjoying it 😭
another hit, great stuff
2:33 I love how you sneaked in the Minecraft skeleton noise
This is gold
2:20 MOOD. Legitimately
I remember when high quality animation like this would guarantee you a million views on UA-cam. The bar really has been raised.
I mean it’s been less than a day
DA DAY DIS COMMENT WAS POSTED DA VID HAD LIEK 30K VIEWS AND NOW ITS GOT 63K SO ITS GROWING P FAST U KNOW WHAT I MEAN
You gotta wait a little
NOW IT HAS 73K WTF
Well there’s a well documented issue of youtube burying animated projects in discoverability as well.
There is so much regular show energy in this that I feel sorta refreshed as I did not know I needed something like this. This was a great watch for something so short, it really feels like a inbetween show you would see on adult swim.
1:58 I absolutely loved this part of the video, it was so stupid but i still think it’s hilarious, please continue this series!!
this is actually super relatable to my first retail experience
i got so anxious working at the register i turned everyone into skeleton as well!
The 3rd guy, wizard by like a single frame turning them into a Skeleton made me absolutely die, I need more of this!😂
- "He looked at me" 😢
- "No, he didn't!" 😠
This feels reminiscent of Bigtop Burger levels of chill and goofy and I LOVE it. It is just so cozy and silly and I vibe with it. ❤
I absolutely love this. Love the premise just tired done normal person, meets all mighty magical mythical person. And I love the art style. Even the little flair going off model using real lips randomly. Love it. Really gives me like Billy and Mandy vibes love it.
The Minecraft skeleton noises at the end is crazy 2:28
We need a mall wizard series, this would go crazy.
Mall Wizard is by far the most creative thing Ive seen in recent memory. I love this concept and cartoon and love that its a series now.
Honestly, I really enjoyed this. It's like we have entered a golden age or UA-cam Creators, hope this gets more popular so we can see more! ❤
I love the "dude wtf" joke. It's one of the best jokes In animation this year.
Dude, i love this so much. I've been so hyped to see this, and it is even better than I imagined it would be!!
The animation is so stylish, and it gives the same vibe as BigTop Burger does. Super silly, super fun, overall extremely enjoyable!!
I hope you'll make more episodes in the future!! :>
1:45 *What did you do* *Aaa ah Panic * 😂
If this could be funded by a big studio, I would watch it religiously.
No finer way to welcome in the holidays than some magic tomfoolery ✨
Fantastic work as always, Ali. Love to see it
I want a whole show of this I love it
A superior cartoon. Not just a compact pile of jokes, but the jokes are funny. Better than so much of what I've seen.
This suddenly popped up in my recommendations, and with a name like "Mall Wizard", how could I NOT check this out?!
This feels like bigtop burger and inside job combined, i love it so much
Fucking love the comedic timing on this short
Every joke landed for me, honestly
Very nice
This is highkey lowkey giving Bigtop Burger vibes
And
I love it sm
I’m have to say a wizard working in retail at a mall is a very unique idea and I love it, plz do more episodes.
God the animation and the comedic timing on this are SO delightful. Also somehow the wizard sounds exactly like I was hoping he would just based on the thumbnail, he is everything I didn't know I needed
Delightful stuff, getting a little bit of Worthikids vibes in the character's diction and line delivery, which I mean as high praise. The high concept you've established and the set design is fantastic and full of potential. I'll definitely be keeping my eyes open for any new installments, until then, great work and happy holidays.
yoo i think youve got a great comic here, bro. the animation is super cool. i love the wizards mouths when hes talking and i love how jovial and expressive he is. i hope his coworker develops an interesting character throughout the series. these are quite a dynamic duo!
i would see a whole serie about this two characters, pretty good animation
A great Christmas accompaniment. Loved this so much my guy. Hope to see more and more and be able to help this time
Was so hyped for this, and it’s BEYOND AMAZING. The timing and style work together so well, and moments like the lips and sudden point to the side had me *deceased* . The possibility of a bunch of shorts like this is *so cool*
Not to mention, K💀unter Kulture is about to get a lot more patronage with customer service like that!
As an animator i find your animations so inspiring 🔥 great work
I would pay an ungodly amount for this to be a real show 😂
This is like a real cartoon made for TV! Maybe even better than that considering how some of them turn out... Great job, man!
I really hope that you see this, but this truly is something that inspired me today. For such a simple three minute cartoon, it has a lot of surprising depth, and intrigue to it. Seriously, this is really really good. I love the concept so much, and it’s so simple. I would literally cry if I saw a TV show like this.
There’s so much to gush about it. I love the characters, the intro, the animation style, the music, the jokes, everything. I love your work, please keep it up!!
This has the same kind of writing and humor as a Cartoon Network series, it's actually fantastic. PLEASE tell me the skeletons will be recurring characters!
we need more goofy shorts like this. its like a relate able daydream you have while working.
GOD, THIS IS FREAKING GOLD 😔🙏🙏🙏
The humor, animation, idea…everything is just so weird and warm at the same time 🙇🙇🙇
No way I'm first on mall wizard vid. 🧙♂️🧙♂️🧙♂️
It’s nice that I can see your actually the first
congratulations
Very jealous
Fart
@@j1o3 PISS
You’re literally my biggest inspiration on this platform. My goal is to get as close to doing what you do as I can. You’re the best! Keep making stuff!
Glorious. Would enjoy more Mall Wizard shenanigans!
Saw your pinned comment. Was gonna ask since it seemed like BTB flew under the radar compared to Hazbin Hotel or The Amazing Digital Circus.
It’s not a bad thing if your art reminds people of something they already love; I hope more of the art community switches to this mindset. Not every art style/premise/etc. needs to be 100% unique. But I digress. I hope we see more of these characters, even in short videos like this one.
My guy is petrified 😭😂
i need a extended version of that AWESOME outro, great job! love the idea n animation
this was already hilarious and then i got to the outro where you eat and choke on your stylus and that SENT me
Dude that was awesome, I actually had a good laugh.
0:04 Tumblr wizard cap /wizard trucker cat
Absolutely love your stuff.
And this is by far the funniest thing you’ve made so far.
Hugo’s Mind Palace I felt was a little iffy in it’s style of humour, and may need a touch up in quality if ever greenlit, but this had no problems!
And I’m confident that if Hugo’s ever continues it’ll be certainly improved, as literally showcased in this short.
This needs an episode 2, or a whole series
Yo this animation is really great! Not sure if this is a pilot for a new show or something but it’s cool! Keep it up!
The “oh-oh my. Oh dear. Oh…” when he’s trying to figure out the cash register got me haha
I wonder if this is in the same world/has any connections to hugo?
Editing this after 4 months because I realized that there is actually a reference to hmp on one of the t-shirts at 2:40! Obviously doesn’t prove any in-universe connections, but I wanted to point it out nonetheless
He said on stream that mall wizard and Hugo aren’t in the same universe, but since Hugo and the gang are dimension hoppers there’s some slight chance for crossover.
This is the sort of entertainment we need.
we will be needing whole 3 seasons and 30 episodes + of this series its good and funny
0:44 The George Easter egg in the background is cool. Ultimately this was very fun and the character designs and art style are cute and endearing as always, definitely will enjoy more of this or any other content you make in the future.
I could immediately tell that this was very BTB inspired. Love this animation
This that good good full of soul shit, please make more. Real “mid-2010’s Cartoon Network” vibes. Love it. Could feed me a whole series and I’d still be hungry.
That pretty accurately sums up retail work
This was great , why hasn't anyone else thought of such a great idea of having a wizard work in a convenient store?
Let's all thank mall wizard for being so whimsical
He said no magical tomfoolery but i suspect that there will indeed be magical tomfoolery
I'd watch this as a series tbh
please make more
I would legit watch an entire show of this
I love wacky whimsy characters like the Wizard, this is great!!!
the magical mall wizard is quite amusing. this is very much to my liking.
The whispered "He looked at me" sounds like the boss from Bigtop Burger lol
I never knew I needed this in my life but a slight part of me did feel that
This is how it feels to play D&D most of the time 10/10 it was perfect.
Love it. Reminds me of Big top burger with the absurdist humor. Can't wait for more.
WOWWWW URR SOOOOO GOOOOOD THIS IS MY FAV THING SOOOOOO FAR!!!!!!!!!
So delightful! I just found these and they're making me wheeze with laughter
The opening credits give off major "Inside Job" vibes
Omg what did I just stumble upon at 1:30 am?!? I LOVE this! Great work!
I just realize mall, wizard reacted, the exact same way Steve did from big top burger. They would be the best of friends
Man this rules! I miss fun internet shorts from back in the days of flash that had these charming and whacky characters. This really feels like something from a more creative and fun era of the internet. Definitely got a like and sub from me!
2:20 Feel the exact same way, but replace being a skeleton with being something you can't wrap your mind around
Very high worthikids and Cas Van de Pol influence...and I love it!!!!
Edit: Adya also gives me a very Reagan from Inside Job vibe.
Edit 2: Even the intro references Amazing World of Gumball...incredible!!!!
"Turns out, being a skeleton freakin rules, peace out" XDXDXD
We need a full series of Mall Wizard
This reminds me of something youd see back in the early 2000's.
I feel like this would air on the same late night block as Big Top Burger
More pls its SO GOOD LMAO
I want this to be a whole series
I would love to see a show about this, great animation dude :D
I like it! Smaller scale, urban fantasy stories have a lot of charm and potential. Adya is cool, too. All in all, great job on this. I hope to see more someday.
Necromancy at its finest 😂
