@@JoeConover Damn well earned it! I used to trace Calvin comics to make my own comics. I wish I had kept at it, was a lot of fun. You've turned a skill into a wonderful piece of art. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I’m not entirely sure about Spiff/Calvin’s hair, but overall this animation is outstanding! I also love the Calvin quote at the beginning. Very fitting.
I hate the voice though... too high pitched and childish. I can see why watterson never wanted to find one, it’s just wayyy off from what Calvin always sounded like in my head, and it’s uncomfortable lol. Agree about the rest though
The scepticism I had clicking on this video was eradicated the second I spied the visuals on display, my word. Watterson would be proud in his own little way 💛
Can you imagine if some company like Disney got a hold of this today.... there'd be a "Calvin and Hobbes" extended universe, with different movie series for each of Calvin's different fantasy characters, followed by a spinoff tv-series featuring the snowmen and then another for "Hamster Huey and the Gooey Kablooey." and if they can pull it off, "Commander Coriander Salamander and her Single-hander Belly-lander."
EEwwwww! A woke Calvin and Hobbes! Disney would be the last company I'd want to see do a Calvin and Hobbes movie! Calvin would be a sexually confused boy and Hobbes would be a transexual butch!
I’ve literally been reading these books since I was in kindergarten (I found one in a box of my dad’s old books he was throwing away), I’m now in college and they still are my favorite thing ever and mean so much to me. This almost made me cry, thank you for this :) good work
I never comment, but this certainly deserves one - this was truly incredible! Amazing animation, hilarious, and true to the spirit of Calvin & Hobbes. A+ 👏😂
Given how Bill Watterson has had a history of getting fan made animations scrubbed from the internet, I hope he sees this and has a change of heart. This was so wonderful and I wish everyone could see your fully realized Spaceman Spiff movie!
Hell yes! I'd pay to see this! So awesome!! All space man spiff though. Great job sir! I've always wondered why someone hasn't done something like this!
Oof, man! Man! This is so, so good! I'd love to see a breakdown of it. Also, Calvin's voice is just exaclty how I imagined it. I love everything about it. I hope one day to make something of this level. :)
I suddenly remember the Spaceman Spiff comicbooks I made as a kid. I stopped drawing when I was 16 because people thought it was “lame”. A shame, because I was really good.
I came from Philip Defranco’s secret link of the day and I love it. Amazing animation and sound design, I’ve never really gotten into Calvin and Hobbes but damn was this cool to watch. Continue making awesome stuff like this. :)
Probably the best-looking C&H fan animation ever made so far. I'm mesmerized at what capable fans can do on their own these days, often surpassing big budget studios on the results. This said, I should learn 3D to do my own thing as well :) Thanks for sharing.
The reward for the most recent new expedition in No Mans Sky was a saucer shaped, red ship. I actually changed up my characters color scheme to match Spiff as close as possible, in tribute.
Shake and Bake...Medium Well...Deep Fat Fry...Liquify...Frappe All those years ago when my minds eye imagined Spaceman Spiff, it was exactly like this. Soooooo good.. Thank you
i usually do not like stuff made of things i have grown to love.. but this one is phenomenal! i think you did a good job of not infringing and yet adding something to what watterson has made. ..thank you so much!
O.M.D! Like many fans, I worry when somebody makes fan-fiction based on something I love. But this...! This is awesome! I wish I had half as much talent.
Phillip Defranco sent me!! Beautiful artwork! Now I wish this was a real movie!! I felt sad when it ended, very entertaining! Congrats on getting secret link of the day!
This is perfect, I wish someone would make an animated series. That would make for an awesome cartoon series. I would definitely watch something like this.
The music is stupendous, and the imagery spot on! I think Calvin's hair should be a little more spikey, but that's trivial. I very much hope Bill Watterson enjoys this and knows how many people his characters have inspired.
Calvin is a maniacal Napoleonic lightning rod of a kid. Spaceman Spiff would be gritting his teeth with an angry but in control look on his face while flying his flaming ship down to the planet. The kid in this animation is too timid and likeable.
Hmmmm . . . . I'm no fan of seeing Calvin animated but I have to say, the impression of size and weight with regard to the alien ship is impressive and so was the camera work, very BSG. 8 thumbs up.
Always blew my mind there was never a C&H cartoon. Movie may be hard to do unless it's interlaced with a Spaceman Spiff full adventure. Can you say, " Go Fund Me " and get a full cartoon episode done. Then off to Netflix for a pitch!
This is amazing. Would love to see a movie that doesn't reveal this to be Calvin's imagination until the end
That sort of reminds me of Lightyear. I don't know why
@@dragonmanover9000 Because at the end it was just his imagination.
I usually cringe when people attempt to animate C&H, but this is fantastic.
means a lot man, thanks!

@@JoeConover Man, I hope Universal sees this and Deadpools the crap out of it. We need some groundswell!
This is awesome!
ua-cam.com/video/fE7nv7BH19Q/v-deo.html you probably won't cringe at this one.
Somebody hire this man. We need a movie!
That will be awsome!
@@foodcritic4935 until the company that takes it over requires all the charactrs to be gay and not white.
I hope Bill Watterson sees this and is proud of the art he inspired
I hope he contacts this person and makes a full out show with 10 seasons lined up!!
@@thatpspguy I'm thinking 6 seasons and a movie
Thanks!
@@thatpspguy yeah that eould be awsome
@@SuperMarioDrumming that would be awsome!
This is so cool, I love this! I wish it was longer, because I need more of it!! Amazing job!
Thank you! Yeah I wish I had more time to make an actual short. We'll see what happens in the future!
@@JoeConover I cant wait to see how it goes!!

More, please. Calvin's voice is great. Can't wait to hear Hobbes'.
@Paul Zimmerman
Interestingly enough, this is the close to how IO imagine Calvin sounding.
It's definitely not.
@@strangewayfaringstrangerAgreed, I think it’s better if there are no voices
I don't always click the secret link of the day, but man when I do it's a treat.
Secret link of the day ?
@@stretchpadawan1 apparently something Phillip DeFranco does. I had to look it up, I don't watch him either

This is my childhood... and it looks fantastic. The skillset that created this is pretty phenomenal. Great work!
DUDE THIS IS AMAZING! Thank you for making this!
Thanks! And u r welcome too
Oh this… this is the finest form of Calvin and Hobbes art ive ever seen.
when boys were boys and dads were dads
keep it coming
we need this now
Calvin And Hobbes deserves more stuff like this, thank you
Incredible. We need a whole movie of Spaceman Spiff.
Absolutely terrific work here. Couldn't have asked for a better 3D rendering of Calvin or Spiff. Subbed and shared!

omg, the memories of Calvin&Hobbes kick in. Characters & animation are lovely
BRUH. THIS IS AMAZING!
This looks, feels and sounds like an actual movie trailer, and I’d love it if it became one
I just realized that when I read these comics, I never imagined any of their voices in my head.
This looks like movie quality animation! We all know that Bill Watterson didn't want to see CAH animated, but as a fan project this looks great.
Holy shit... that ship looked so menacing and creepy. And the fucking lighting looked incredible! I think Watterson would be proud to see this.
Great Awesome job, Joseph Conover. Proud of you. EC
The quality of this is insane! Well done!
Hell yes! I'd pay to see this! So awesome!! All space man spiff though. Great job sir! I've always wondered why someone hasn't done something like this!
This is brilliant!! I want to see the movie! I am going to share this with my sons, we read all of Calvin and Hobbes books when they were little.
This is Calvin and Hobbes. Let that sink in. THIS IS CALVIN AND HOBBES!!!
You should be really proud of how this turned out!
Definitely a movie worth crowd funding!
This is the cutest thing ever! I fully support you making a full length movie!!!
this is amazing, brings me alot of memories
That was absolutely magnificent! I love the design of the alien ship, it's very intimidating!
Oof, man! Man! This is so, so good! I'd love to see a breakdown of it. Also, Calvin's voice is just exaclty how I imagined it. I love everything about it. I hope one day to make something of this level. :)
So intricate! I cannot fathom how much effort this took. You must be proud.
I suddenly remember the Spaceman Spiff comicbooks I made as a kid. I stopped drawing when I was 16 because people thought it was “lame”. A shame, because I was really good.
This is amazing. Seriously. I'm subbing just on the off chance you ever do even a single 30 second clip like this. It's that incredible.
I know exactly which one gave you the inspiration for this, so great
brought tears to my eyes.
Bravo
Thanks, means a lot!
Absolutely need a spaceman spiff or a stupendous man movie
I came from Philip Defranco’s secret link of the day and I love it. Amazing animation and sound design, I’ve never really gotten into Calvin and Hobbes but damn was this cool to watch. Continue making awesome stuff like this. :)

Literally giving me hope for next year!! Please don't disappoint!
This is incredible! You should be very proud of how this turned out! Now I wish a whole movie was happening for real!
man this was really good! if only a movie were to be made in this style...
That opening monologue hits deep.
Congrats on being "Secret Link of the Day!" :) Well done video.
I hope Watterson reconsiders his stance on animating C&H. It would instantly be one of the most watched shows on any network.
The reward for the most recent new expedition in No Mans Sky was a saucer shaped, red ship. I actually changed up my characters color scheme to match Spiff as close as possible, in tribute.
Fantastic work!
This is gold! The only animation that lives up to the legend. Thank you for this. Would love to see more.
Shake and Bake...Medium Well...Deep Fat Fry...Liquify...Frappe All those years ago when my minds eye imagined Spaceman Spiff, it was exactly like this. Soooooo good.. Thank you
Fantastic, i keep rewatching in hopes that the rest of the movie will start.
This was incredible. You're incredibly skilled and I hope it continues to take you far.
i usually do not like stuff made of things i have grown to love.. but this one is phenomenal! i think you did a good job of not infringing and yet adding something to what watterson has made. ..thank you so much!
I love this so much you have no idea. Five year old me would have loved this, too.
sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good, we the people need more
you need more subs man, this is amazing. good job
O.M.D! Like many fans, I worry when somebody makes fan-fiction based on something I love. But this...! This is awesome! I wish I had half as much talent.
I love this the only thing I don't like is the voice I think that it should be lighter.
Very nice and beautiful animation ! It's an amazing fanart, very cool to watch ! 👍👍👍
Love it. Thanks for all your hard work.
You're welcome!
Phillip Defranco sent me!! Beautiful artwork! Now I wish this was a real movie!! I felt sad when it ended, very entertaining! Congrats on getting secret link of the day!
I don't know you, but I love you for making this. Epic.
Beautiful! Wonderful! Amazing! We'd all love to see more!
this is actually chilling and awesome
This is perfect, I wish someone would make an animated series. That would make for an awesome cartoon series. I would definitely watch something like this.
This is beyond incredible!
MORE Please!!!!!! MY GOD, I NEED MORE OF THIS IN MY LIFE! lol Very well done Sir!!! Please do more! lol
So good! Thank you for making this!
I would pay to see this in the theater and buy the blu-ray too.
THIS IS SO BRILLIANT OH MY GOD
Ahh this brings a tear to my eyes
The music is stupendous, and the imagery spot on! I think Calvin's hair should be a little more spikey, but that's trivial. I very much hope Bill Watterson enjoys this and knows how many people his characters have inspired.
Thanks)
Wow... This needs to be made.... amazing work sir.
WE WANT MORE !!!
So awesome. Great work
Oh.my.god. this is brilliant!!
This makes me want a Calvin and Hobbes movie.
Petition for another Calvin and Hobbes animation by Joseph Conover
Calvin is a maniacal Napoleonic lightning rod of a kid. Spaceman Spiff would be gritting his teeth with an angry but in control look on his face while flying his flaming ship down to the planet. The kid in this animation is too timid and likeable.
Why is this not a movie yet? Great job on the animation!
awesome, thank you for making this
And of course, we got to have a trailer for the first Stupendous Man and Tracer Bullet films too.
This is sick.😲
I w... WE want a short film !
MORE OF THIS PLEASE!!!
more please! So good!
This would have been a film 🎞 a film we never got 😊
Hmmmm . . . . I'm no fan of seeing Calvin animated but I have to say, the impression of size and weight with regard to the alien ship is impressive and so was the camera work, very BSG. 8 thumbs up.
Weird thing is, that's how I imagined Calvin's Voice to be
I love it, excllent work!
thank you so much! please make a little more.
dude please make this a series!!!
This is beautiful
this made my day
How many times has Spaceman Spiff come careening down into a planet’s atmosphere like that!?!? 😅😅😅😅 Too many!
I would love for a Spaceman Spiff Movie
Outstanding, thanks
Always blew my mind there was never a C&H cartoon. Movie may be hard to do unless it's interlaced with a Spaceman Spiff full adventure.
Can you say, " Go Fund Me " and get a full cartoon episode done. Then off to Netflix for a pitch!
