- This was a “La De Da Da Da” animatic from The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals made for a class assignment
I actually completed this a few months ago and made it private, but in the wake of Starkids new musical, decided there was not enough Starkid animatics out there so I’m making it public.
It’s a really great musical about the potential horrors of a musical hive-mind who wants to take over the world by killing them all and resurrecting them as part of their shitty musical.
This song is the morning directly after the meteor containing these musical alien spores hit the towns theater, and follows Paul Mathew’s (the guy who doesn’t like musicals) as he walks his way to work.
Watch here! It’s great: • The Guy Who Didn't Lik...
I love the way each of the main singers had a moment of fear or pain before it was hidden- is so epic
What lyric was that?
0:45 for the lady
1:47 for the homeless guy
YAAAAS DETAILS
@@relaxking5107 This is the only problem I have with the animatic: in the musical, Homeless Guy/Future Ted willingly sings (something which is indicated by his singing being off-key and - for lack of a better word - terrible) but here he's just another victim of Pokotho's musical virus)
I felt like Paul watching this all unfold. If this occurs on me. I would just be scared and confused.
Same but I would immediately just freeze and the run 💀
remeber only the infected can here the music so imagine a bunch of people singing and leaving space for musical spots but there's just silence
The funniest fact about this, is that due to the whole assimilation thing going on, this entire musical routine is just Pokey having the absolute time of his life. Like the hive mind devourer of worlds is having an absolute blast dancing and singing with all his possessed bodies.
Pokotho was cooking with this album.
the end of the world was just his lit album taking over all the charts
The sheer scale of how many people are infected freaks me out BUT ITS SO GOOD like damn you captured the subtle horror of the situation very well
Watching this, you really think about the implication
@@Awelbeckk yeah you really do, lmao!!
i love how absolutely uncanny the infected characters’ expressions and choreography are like yeah if greenpeace girl looked at me like that i’d be thinking about the implications too
IS NO ONE GONNA MENTION HOW YOU EVEN DREW CHARACTERS FROM BLACK FRIDAY LIKE LEX, BECKY, AND TOM IN THE BG?! LIKE I’M NOT IMAGINING IT RIGHT?! IF NOT, I ADORE THE SUBTLE CAMEOS THAT JUST MAKE HATCHETFIELD SO CONNECTED BUT ALSO ADDS TO THE HORROR OF REALIZING THAT CHARACTERS WE LOVE PROBABLY GOT INFECTED AS WELL AND WE DIDN’T EVEN KNOW
wait really?? where
Yippee! Yes I did! I thought it would be a nice Easter egg since- yeah they’re all in Hatchetfield :D
This is an ultimate love of mine bc I love thinking about all the different universes for all of the various characters. That's why I love fanfics and animatics around the Hatchetfield series!
@@lavaknight36821:23 Tom is the one with the dog!
1:35 Becky Barnes is the lady with the high ponytail
2:38 Lex is the confused girl getting out of the car only to get infected
Hope that helps!!
AND PETER SPANKOFFSKI!!! EVERYONES FAVOURITE HOT CHOCOLATE BOY
Spoilers
I heard a theory that I love to believe about the homeless guy was never infected bro was just too in to the groove and just ran with it, bro’s had it tough he just wanted to let loose for once.
He'd probably be an easier target for Pokey than they realize
To be fair, he's already marked by Tinky, so they'd have to fight for custody over his soul.
@@gigitheskeleton6202
Given who the homeless man actually turns out to be, I feel like that’s fully possible
This is so good!!! If tgwdlm was ever turned into a movie this is what the la dee dah dah day sequence should look like, I loved how through this medium you better showed the sheer scale of just how many people have been infected already! That made the horror of the song even more effective :) All the movement in this is great, as well as Paul’s awkward out-of-place-ness 😆 such a good interpretation of the scene!!
Yes! Funny enough this was for a Media Adaption class, so that’s exactly why I picked this song: looking at it through a musical-movie adaptation of a musical (Like the Producers, Into the Woods, etc (there’s a lot of examples))
POKOTHO WAS COOKING WITH THIS ONE!🔥🔥🔥🔥
I LOVE that they all just danced and sung in the middle of the road, and the people in the cars joined in. I love the way your brain works 😂
Also the frane when the song ends and they all have these theatrical smiles on their faces and Paul is standing there just confused and concerned.
Lol thank you!
I did try to do some homages to other musical movies- that car bit being heavily inspired by “Another Day of Sun” from La La Land (especially the sweeping hand be they do when they’re on the car hoods)
Plus I felt like opening numbers (like La De Da Da Day would be in a typical musical) end in big grand ensemble packed gesture- so where better then in the street lol
(Also I wanted Greenpeace girl to almost be like a siren- somehow infecting the people in the cars to join via her voice)
@@thisisjustforclasstbh Oh absolutely!! It works so well!
@@thisisjustforclasstbhGreenpiece girl being able to infect who knows how many with just her voice sounds TERRIFYING
the sheer amount of people singing and dancing and the way they small moments of clarity make this so much more haunting
AAAA 1:40 THE BLACK FRIDAY CHARACTERS??? THAT'S SUCH A NEAT LITTLE REFERENCE OMG
Yup!! And the person at 2:37 and onwards is supposed to be Lex!
(I thought about adding Ethan or Hannah in the car with her- but I think Hannah would have tried to book it as soon as the car stopped and her sister stared singing and if Ethan was there but not Hannah- then where tf is she lol)
@@thisisjustforclasstbhIt's honestly sad to think about Webby freaking out the whole time as Hannah runs around the city avoiding infected. I hope her, Lex, and maybe even Ethan made it out by traveling via Lex's power.
Ohhhhhhhhhh green peace girl breaking through for a second before the conditioning took back over 😭😭😭😭😭 and the others too but hers hit really hard 😔
Well now I’m considering the implications and yeah. I’d be scared
GEUEHHE THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL?? THE CHARACTERS??
it’s amazing!
and don’t forget the cameos! i was sad seeing lex get infected but was amazed by literally everything
it’s been a long time since i’ve seen a starkid animatic and this one was just spectacular!
I liked how you kept the "lights down part"
Lol it was too funny to exclude- plus it adds to the absurdity so it works!!
i love how many people you fit into this, really makes you think how much more horrifying this would have been in real life... people being confused and exiting their cars, only to instantly join in - which somehow, Paul is immune to, making everyone focus their song on him by the end. AUGH!! this was so good :D
Ugh oh my god i love the way you drew paul hes so guy he is sooo just some guy he is so special to me
he's not just some guy, he's THE guy (who didn't like musicals)
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
okay.
So goooooood! Ive literally been thinking about how awesome this number would be as a big movie musical number. Here some little things I love:
The two people creepily hanging around during the homeless mans part
Pauls' "what?" in response to the dead mans face line is more because he wasnt paying attention somehow makes it funnier
The dancing on concrete line got a little too real for a second, very creepy
Love the kneeling bit
Love how more and more people spontaneously join over the course of the song, it adds a sense of scale to the threat, especially since this is the biggest group of infected people we see, and also the most general group. Ive seen some analysis of the show noting how the methods of apothepsis become more and more forceful with each song, and this really adds to that
Wonderful job! You really captured the characters’ personalities and movements in a dynamic way. I hope you got a good grade on that project
Holy crap, this is awesome!! This is one of the best TGWDLM animatics I've ever seen! You portrayed the subtle horror and confusion that comes with the song perfectly
UGH THIS IS SO GOOD DUDE. You hit the uneasy vibe so so well and it’s just UGH so stellar!! The expressions and movements are so Disney musical and the “something is just slightly off here” energy is just so well captured I am such a fan!!!!
Thank you!!
Yeah I really tried to incorporate “Disney Princess” energy into Greenpeace girl, especially with her puffy and floaty dress and arm movements lol
In fact, her arm move at 00:09 is inspired heavily by what Belle does in the beginning of her opening number
This is so random but I love how fluffy Paul’s hair looks
I can't stop staring at his hair it looks so cute
Is that TOM HOUSTON dancing with the Homeless dude?
Yup! Later joined by Becky (in a jogging fit) and Factory Worker (lol Kurt’s character in Black Friday).
Lex also show up- getting out of her car and getting infected vis osmosis or smth at 2:38
@@thisisjustforclasstbhThat's so cool! I love this animatic!
This song is just a heavy implication that Pokotho did all this for fun
BRO THIS IS AMAZING WHAT?? my fav part were the different bg characters that were from different hatchetfield stuff like lex, becky, tom(idk i missed any but)nI LOVE THIS
Oh my god this is so well done- you captured the dread and general weirdness even through all the smiles so well without making it too over the top. This is SUPER close and even better than how I imagined an animated scene to this song, MAJOR props.
This is really good wtf i love the choreo and Paul's expressions are so gold he is standing there so perfectly awkward it's so beautiful
AAAAAAHHHH!! This is incredible!!! Thank you for sharing!!! Like 2:08 that’s so clever!!!!
Thanks!!! I really wanted to include that gag (them preforming to an invisible camera Paul can’t see) because I think seeing that irl would be reallllll unsettling
Never heard the recording I only listened to the theater version
Wish it had the same acting:" cuz it feels a bit unfinished
But the animatic is still pretttyyyy
Oh this is INCREDIBLE. I can't believe how good this is. You've done an amazing job of selling how incredibly unsettling this scene would be from Paul's perspective in a way the original material couldn't. The sheer number of people dancing and singing along, as well as more people constantly joining seemingly out of nowhere, even when Paul thinks he's gotten out of the "event" it continues, culminating in stopping all traffic at an intersection, really sells just how massive and terrifying the hivemind really is, and serves beautifully to convey the sense that this isn't an ordinary flashmob and something is very wrong. Incredible job.
I know the implementation is that no one is themselves and they're all dead, but honestly if that's the price to pay for it to be socially acceptable to burst into song and dance at any time, then I personally would enjoy this la-di-da day! ALL HAIL POKIOTHO! XD
One note, Paul needs to look more scared. This is literally his worst nightmare.
I love how you drew backgrounds on the animatic. In the performance, the fact that it was on a stage sort of took away how weird it would be for people to be singing and dancing in the street, but this really captured how strange it would be
i really like how much this shows the terror that la dee da da day would have in real life, great job!
Hi, I’m here a little later, like 6 months later, but I think it’s really cool when they all looked up that the telephone wires looked like stage curtains!
Oh god, It’s like that dance plague all over again.
This animation get specially horrifying when u think abt the implications
THIS IS SO PERFECT, I LOVE IT!! The attention to detail and the creative staging was wonderful!
The emotions and the camerawork were awesome! great job!

Wonderful! So wonderful, thank you for making this.
Nice job showing how odd things like this can be.
This looks incredibly awesome!
Great video! Also I don’t know if this is weird to say, but I really like the way you draw their hands.
WAHOOO I JUST DISCOVERED STARKID PRODUCTIONS AND IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR CONTENT WND THIS IS STUNNING?!??!?!? :0
Okay, I'll watch TGWDLM again
This is really good, thank you!
First time in awhile ive liked s video this was fantastic. Definetly worth an A in ym books
this his wonderful! Itches my brain in the right way
This is so good
OOoooo this is an underrated song, staring Harmony Jones, an underrated character! I love that you animated this.
this is fuckig AWESOME holy shit
this is so good ❤❤
OMGG I LOVE IT
Literally everyone
what
im sorry, are you implying that real people are being infected by an alien hivemind in hopes to fufil it's musical theater related dreams, killing and traumatizing multiple people, and an entire town in the process right now?
dude this is some TALENTED work!!!!!
1:54 is this Pete from anpmd
Well, watching this back post NPMD, yeah I guess he technically is ha.
I was basing it off how he looked in TGWDLM though since I haven’t seen NPMD at the time of making this (May 2023) and he was one of, the like 6, back up dancers in the musical and I wanted to include them.
You did a great job with this! I love it!
I didn't watch any trailers, only some of the "Cup of Roasted Coffee" scene. I just saw this because it was made by the same people who brought us "Tiger F**ker." I had no idea this was a cosmic horror musical and that made the reveal ten times better. I made sure when introducing my brother to this masterpiece to only show him the "What Do You Want, Paul?" scene so that he'd have a similar experience.
Eeeeee this rules!! Thank you so much for sharing it!!
this is so good!! i hope you get such a good grade for this project!
oh my god this is criminally underrated you need so many more views this is absolutely incredible ❤❤❤😲😲
this is so good !
Well isn’t this nifty! Gnarly even!
THIS IS AMAZING!!
Omg I’m LOVING THIS
This so so freaking good!!!!
FANTASTIC!
Cool
so cool!!
Very nice thank you for sharing
2:37 2:40 woah the apotheosis is spreading fast 0-0;
AAAAAAAHBRTABERTNB I LOVE THIS SM
Beautiful animation! Will you also do "No One Remember Achmed"?
Totally underrated! Great job! You got a new subscriber! Also do you do commissions?
Fun fact since the lords in black don’t like messing with each others toys the homeless man was most likely never possessed and was just into the song
Except for Nibbly lol. He ate Linda and she was Wiggly's potential favorite
@@twist_ending7545 the nightmare times don’t take place in the same reality as the actual shows which is why forever and always exist without ruining the plot of tgwdlm
@@Luciferthekingofpurgitory I know, but the lords are aware of the other timelines.
@@twist_ending7545 yeah but I thought only tinky knew what was inside of those other timelines because he’s the bastard of space and rime his brothers know other timelines exits but tinky is the only person who knows the in and outs of time
@@Luciferthekingofpurgitory I think Pokey is also aware. He made a reference to "What do you want, Paul?" in nmt2 and NPMD
Bro you cant just dump this masterpiece in a "forschool" account T-T
IM IN LOVE INSTANT SUBSCRIBE-
wasss that Lexxxx😏
This disvers more
who is the person with J on their jacket
I don't know
The only critique I have with your animatic is Homeless Guy being a victim of the musical virus because it contradicts the musical showing him sing on his own accord
What do you mean?
@@twist_ending7545 In the musical Homeless Guy sang off-key indicating he wasn't a musical zombie (spoiler warning: being a future version of Ted might also have a hand in it me thinks)
This is amazing
