Everyone: warrior cats is not for kids, its very dangerous Me who hasn't been killed, hurt, or neither has killed or hurt anyone: where death? Note: I know what they mean, its just that it seems like those times are over, I mean I've checked, but its always a bit, meme, all I'm searching is those times to have a bit of spice
When I was 7 years old, I was diagnosed with ADD, and it was a hard road. It was 3rd grade and I still couldn’t read. My mother was disappointed and worried, and my teachers were so annoyed. I was scared and couldn’t do anything right. Then my friend introduced me to warriors. I learned to read just like that. Soon enough, I was excelling in school for the most part. I read every single book by the time I was in 6th grade. Looking back, I have been through a lot while reading warriors. Certain events from the series will remind me of happy and sad memories from my past that I want to cherish forever. I wish I could put into words how much these books changed my life for the better. Even after all my friends moved on from the series, I still read every single book. Watching this map makes me remember all the things I have gone through during the time I was reading the books. Seeing how far I, and along with others, have come. The gratitude I feel towards the fandom and the books is way more immense than I could ever say. Thank you for bringing this into creation. Even after a year of it being out, it still makes me emotional. I truly thank you. Wow um thanks for all the likes??
Sadie oWo ya I feel you with the events feelings connected to ones in the books I feel like it’s just so crazy that a book series can change your life with such an impact
As of today (January 21, 2023), Warriors is officially twenty years old. It's hard to wrap my mind around that fact. I find it amazing that this community has created and brought together so many artists time and time again to create so many MAPs. Thank you, everyone, for such an amazing community.
me: *going into a job interview* employer: so, what are your talents. me: *sweating nervously* uhh, i can name all the events that happen in the Five Giants MAP.
@@marks9051 One of my friends who's a warriors fan didn't know about this map and I nearly cried. Although he did avoid getting the fire scene spoiled by avoiding maps soooo?
The whole symbolic ending with Alderpaw and Sparkpaw resembling Firestar and Bramblestar is exactly why I didn’t keep reading after the Last Hope. It was very clear that the cats would keep going. At that point, it didn’t feel like the story NEEDED to be told anymore. It simply was.
The Last Hope should have been the last warriors book, with Sparkpaw and Alderpaw becoming apprentices as the epilogue. A good ending, and a little nod to let the fans know that the world of our favorite warriors will keep turning, even if our journey has ended.
I love how *one* small cat who just wanted to change his life, changed ours so much, he gave life to a big, BIG world and wow, im never forgetting this series honestly
For those who are confused, the parts are all sorted out by Clans! 0:21 - 2:08 RiverClan 2:09 - 2:56 SkyClan 2:57 - 4:07 ShadowClan 4:08 - 5:30 WindClan 5:31 - 6:56 ThunderClan
The reason why there's a blue cat in RiverClan is because it's Mistystar. Mapleshade is in the intro because she's trying to move to RiverClan. In ShadowClan segment, the brown tabby tom (besides Tigerclaw(star)) is Tigerheart(star)! The drowning cat is Flametail, who allows the scene to transition to WindClan's segment.
I grew up with these cats. Each one of them was impacted me in some way. Warriors has been my life since 2015. It's made me cry, laugh, angry, happy and forced me into reality. Without warriors idk what I would do. Warriors holds my heart forever. Always a warrior at heart
Same, warriors is actually inspirational for my life. I heard this song in the radio or something. And I started to cry, my dad was like “what’s wrong?” I said “Warriors is sad!”
Same, I started reading when I was like 11 in 2011 and I almost stopped because a lot of (boys only) people made fun of me for it but luckily I had some nice teachers who convinced me to stay with it!
Warriors has been my life since 2008/9 I think? I was 8 or 9 years old, now I'm going to be 19 in a few months, I stopped reading after season 6 came out, but I still have all my warriors books on my shelf and they're pretty much the only book series I've ever bought ^^
I red my first book in 2007 ❤️ still reading them. Warrior 4 ever. I will be 27 this year. 12 years and many more to come. In 3 years I am able to say that these cats are part for the half of my life 😻 I laughed, I cried, I was sad and enjoyed every moment with them. Thanks for all the years 🎉😭
I am not joking this made me tear up when I first watched it. seeing everyone come together as a community and spend days, weeks, on each individual part, to create such an amazing tribute over the span of years warms my heart! the storytelling is amazing, props to the scriptwriters for making such a vast story flow together so well! each animator masterfully showed off their own style and best work, and the finished project was well worth it! You did a great job with the credits as well, the MAP has such a beautiful style it it! Congrats on 15 years of warriors!
I can't believe this map is a few years old already.. Time flies so quick. I remember watching this around the first six months it came out and it's still as beautiful as it was in its' younger days
Into the Wild was the first book in the series I picked up, back in 2013 I think? Dear GOD it changed my life. I've gone through some crap, we all have, but Warriors is a constant in my life. So many lessons can be learned through these fluffy ninja cats, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I know I can fall back to these comfortable things in my life when it gets rough, and I'll always love them all to bits. I think my favorite memory of these books is when I was reading the first arc to my little cousin. It was the 'Brightheart meets Princess for the first time' scene, and she was confused. "Emma, why does Cloudtail love Brightheart if she's ugly?" she had asked. "Why do you think she's ugly?" I stopped reading to talk to her. "Well... she got hurt. Her face is all scratched up. She isn't pretty now," (She's seven. This was a very valid argument to her) So I set the book down. "Just because Brightheart isn't pretty anymore doesn't mean she isn't beautiful. That's what Cloudtail meant when he said that. He loves her for her, not for how pretty she is. He doesn't care what she looks like, he cares about how kind she is, how brave she is. He loves her unconditionally," I explained. My cousin then asked what 'unconditionally' meant. "No strings attached, just pure love. He doesn't care what others think of her. To him, Brightheart is the most beautiful cat he could ever see." She accepted it there. The next time we played with her LPS toys (it was a common thing for us), she had one with only one eye. It had gotten scratched up, so she just gave it an eyepatch made with tape and called it good. Brightheart's story, and me explaining it to her, had influenced her. It didn't matter that the toy (and the character the toy was playing) only had one eye. It still had value. It wasn't broken. That's a lesson that I've never forgotten Warriors taught her.
That is so sweet! Yeah Warriors changed my life the characters the scenery and the community. I went through so much with this old series from being diagnosed with an anxiety disorder loosing my best friend and whole friend group, being put through heck at school and relentlessly bullied to screaming "Oh Starclan and meeting my now best friend. Warriors is the reason I'm surrounded by the people I know today. I'm proud to call myself a Warriors fan!
@@carl_Grimes_drawz That's great. I get teased a lot for being a high school student who loves to read books about talking cats who live in the woods, but this series has helped so many people, and I'm glad that the fanbase just gets bigger and bigger.
I read the sight first, when I was 8 I was very confused but understood eventually My school only had book 1,4,5,6 of Power of the three And the second book of the sky clan comic I had to buy the rest of the series but totally worth it
Okay, if I'm being honest this gave me chills. Warriors has definitely changed so many people's lifes. And it all started with just one cat longing for a different life.
Warriors definitely changed my life. If it wasn’t for warriors, I probably wouldn’t have the friends I have now, I wouldn’t be the same person. Wow, warriors is so impactful and emotional. It makes me cry just thinking of how much warriors has changed my life. It just, wow....
I know you’re never going to see this. But I remember the first video for the parts being published when I was a KID. I remember waiting patiently for the final map to drop and always checking for updates. I would visualize it in my head with the descriptions given. And by God. The finished product was epic. I sort of hate that word, but I can’t even think of what else to say. It was more than worth the waiting. I was so excited! And now it’s been 6 years, maybe 8 or 9 since the original announcement? I’m an adult now. And I still come back to this all the time. And it makes me super emotional. So thanks for this
when this map first came out, i was ecstatic. i couldn't wait for it. but as the years went on, i forgot about it. i stopped reading warrior cats, stopped keeping up to date with it. i would always check back once or twice a year to see if it was done. in all honesty, i thought it would be abandoned. when the announcement date came out, and it came out on my birthday, i was so excited. i had no idea that the first warrior cats book came out on my birthday either. then i watched it today. i've never been so blown away by a map. all the love and feelings i once had for this world and these characters just came rushing back. i actually might cry. this was totally worth the wait. i've never seen so much thought put into a map, and i've never seen a more professional one. so thank you, not only WhiskerMoon, but every single person who did even the tiniest work in this. every part is beautiful. and thank you, Erins, for making this detailed, amazing, gorgeous universe happen. i know this will probably get lost in the sea of appreciative comments, but i still wanted to contribute. i dont think i've ever felt so emotional over an animation. thank you
Oh gosh the credits were beautiful ;; I feel like this MAP gave me a strange sort of peace, it's been hard for me to let go of Firestar but I feel like after watching this and the credits I'm ready to move on :') (I still love him though) Thank you for running after all of us participants to make this map possible and thank you everyone for working hard on their parts.
It brings back the old memories of the whole series... everything from the first book, to right now... and just the tears are streaming down my face, and I don't care if I can barely type, but just... this is amazing.
Oh my gosh same here... This gives me such closure over the last four arcs!!! Here's to Alderheart, Sparkpelt and all the other amazing new characters who are now take up the mantle for this wonderful new arc!🍻
This has turned me into an emotional mess. An absolutely stunning collaboration between so many mind-blowingly talented individuals who all did so much to bring thing together. I've never been more proud to be apart of this community than I am watching this. Thank you everyone who put their skill, sweat, and love into this. You've brought our little community higher up than ever. ❤
Lmao I think your most likely to remember things you really like or are passionate about. I can name almost any pokemon and yet forget how to do basic multiplication without a calculator half the time.
Firestar singing "I've been here so very long." Is a small part of the map, but it doesn't *need* to be long either. It feels huge on its own because it really makes me think. He's been here since the very beginning. We saw him grow from a simple kittypet wanting more than being a housepet to a great leader who's changed the Clans for the better. With the series still growing, Warriors has gone a long, long way. There are multiple things people really don't like about it (as with everything), but as a whole it's an amazing series with great fans. (I have a lot to say. But I don't know how to say it. So uh, take this and I hope you understand it.) Oh and the picture of Rusty at the end made me cry.
This is fucking beautiful. I’ve really fallen away from warriors, but seeing this map after so long.... I’m actually in tears. I remember every stunning animation the fanbase has created over the years. Every animator and artist this fandom has inspired to become who they are, what they’ve created. It’s so amazing what people are capable of making together. Absolutely stunning
At about 8:50, I started to tear up, and I felt a sob in my throat, and I wanted to cry. What a journey - for the animators, as well as for the readers in general. The series, the community, everyone who contributes to it (and those who merely watch, listen, and read) - we've all come so far, and I feel as if this is an embodiment of that growth, that development. Everyone who worked on this project did beautifully. There's so much I'll have to go back and look through, because I know I've missed so much, and everyone deserves to have their hard work fully appreciated, with as much attention to detail as possible. I can imagine watching this a hundred times and still finding something new and wonderful each time. I'll wind down before this gets too sappy. I just wanted to thank everyone for all of the time they put into this amazing project, especially to WhiskerMoon and Callipepla Californica for planning and putting it together. This really made my night, and I hope that everyone who sees it can really appreciate the love put into it
This was so gorgeous, the editing really topped it off ;___; amazing work you guys, it’s incredible to see the community come together for stuff like this. I really hope more maps like this happen in the future
Finchwing - Same, it's just... Incredible, to see this type of MAPs. And also to be part of this community. This almost made me cry because I just got so... nostalgic. Amazing.
I always thought the Warriors movie would be so much better as a MAP. Just because that’s the culture we’ve brought the series up as, and to bring more recognition to the animating community for people who have never seen a MAP before.
My perception of time has become very bad because of personal issues in 2019, so the fact that this MAP was released in 2018 (although I had been following since the MAP call) is insane to me. It feels like it was just published yesterday and yet 10 years ago
IF THIS DOESN'T BREAK THE INTERNET, I'LL BE VERY DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING THING I'VE EVER SEEN!!!!! Holy guacamole, guys, this was absolutely worth the wait! I got chills in so many parts, I couldn't even list them all. Every clan's best stories were represented here, and everyone's artwork was exceptionally well done. And then when I thought it couldn't get any better, the END CREDITS!!! It looked so professional! 8D I could totally see that happening in an actual Warriors movie. I stayed strong until the very last scene where the black and white lineart fades to color, and the picture pans to Firepaw sitting in front of his torn collar. Nostalgia hit me like a lighting bolt, and that's what started the water works. I've never been prouder to be a part of the Warriors community, and I really hope I'll get to be part of a project of this caliber someday in the future! Great job to everyone involved. We have a great fanbase going on here!
Cranberry the Cat this song should go viral fast but sadly if it does most people except the warriors community will not understand the actual map only the song.
Cranberry the Cat I almost cried when I saw Rusty with his collar. It really hots hard when you know there’s nothing you can do to stop the new series from coming. Time to sot back and re-read from book 1!
Wow. Just wow. I can’t believe it. It’s done and it’s beautiful. I’m so proud to have been a part of this project and I’m so proud of each and every one of these artists. What an amazing project that wouldn’t have been possible without each and every one of you. We made this. Together. Warriors means something different to all of us, but today we can look at this and see how Warriors has brought us together and I just think that’s amazing. ;u; thank you for your endless patience Ser, Quail, Farrah, and wow. It’s just awesome to see this project finished. K, I’m going to go to bed and cry now, but this is beautiful and I love y’all.
This has to be one of the most amazing maps that I have ever seen! I am blown away by how much love and effort was put into each and every part of this!
Firestar was such an amazing character I can’t f*cking believe why the Erin’s chose this as his death! I AM STILL CRYING RIGHT THIS SECOND BECAUSE OF THE ERINS!!but then seeing the end reminded me that he tried to show everyone his kitty pet life was long gone, he tried. And he succeeded
I don't have a life OwO my aunt has a cat named Malibu that looks like a real life version firestar but if Malibu was a forest cat he is at his apprentice age so I like to call him fire paw UwU
Year of the dog is cancelled yO More seriously thank you to the hosts and everyone who contributed and helped to make this project a reality! I got chills from beginning to the end, the fully drawn ending was the (surprise) cherry on the cake aaa (you guys can rest now :'>)

THANK YOU THANK YOU TAHNK YOU. as someone who didnt have any idea what was going on (i dont know what half the cats look like lmao), this was so so helpful. ty, kind stranger, your service is greatly appreciated
I know the last part was only supposed to be Alderpaw and Sparkpaw looking excited at each other because of their apprenticeship as the end of the song became more cheerful, but out of all the parts of this map that impacted me the most for some reason. Neither of them knew anything about what all their ancestors had gone through, hence the entire rest of the map. It just shows such pureness and naiveness, it's almost beautiful. I keep coming back to watch this over and over again since it came out, this is truly one of the most amazing and detailed maps ever put together in the warrior cats community. Every single person put their all into their small parts, and this is so obviously reflected in the end result. Ugh it's just so amazing I can't lmao
Y'all managed to fit 15 YEARS of books into 7 MINUTES IN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WAY POSSIBLE Seriously though this turned me into a mess of years and nostalgia. All the animators did so well and all the hard work paid off. I could tell what was going on in every scene and that's rare to find with a MAP. Well done y'all.
poultry legg yoooo it’s you!! I’m glad I have someone to bond over with this with pfft. I wholeheartedly agree. It made me cry too. These are very special books for me.
What if Firestar woke up one day... only to discover it was all a dream? Firestar woke up, surrounded by some soft fabrics substance. He stood and yawned, surprised to not find the scents of the forest around him. Confused, he looked about. Fear grabbed him as he realized he was in a twoleg den. But.. memories were rushing back. He swung his head around, hearing a jingle noise. There was something on his neck... it was.. his collar? His collar that he had worn all those many years ago. But... had it been so long? He look out the window, surprised to see he was back in the old forest. All of the trees were there. As he tried to process something, he heard a twoleg call something that sounded almost like... Rusty. He knew that name. It was 𝘩𝘪𝘮. He looked out at the trees, and tried to hold back the tears. It had been a dream. Everything, the clans, the freedom. He looked out, his breathe shaking. None of it had happened... The Clans didn’t exist. Rusty gazed out at the window in sorrow. All the cats he’d loved... Sandstorm... her name seemed faded. He had daughters too, but their names were being lost in memory. His friends, his Clan. He forced himself to remember. He had to remember. But as the dream faded farther, Rusty felt himself thrown into a flurry of memories he didn’t understand, places he’d never seen, cats he’d never met. As he gazed into the forest, the comfort of his twoleg home began to come back to him, and he suddenly found an emotion burning deep inside that he hadn’t realized before. As the trees began to fill with dawn light, Rusty saw the flicker of bird wings. And the sleek, ruffled tail of a wildcat. ( ...You guys... the love and support you have given me from this little piece of writing is astounding and absolutely incredible!! I’ve read every single reply and each and every one just makes my day. You have no idea how special all that feedback is to me. I’ve been writing for many years and will continue to do so! Thank you so much! You all are amazing! 💖 )
what if he wanted that dream to be true so much he was the one to create the clans instead, or he becomes twisted trying to reach this dream, forcing cats to join him or something.
Warrior Cats got me through so much when I was younger. Re-reading the whole series and I swear to god I will always come back to these books. This video made me so emotional because it reminded me of growing up and feeling so lost, yet finding solace in these books. The intricate lives of these cats made so much sense to me, whereas my own life was confusing and unpredictable. Thank you to everyone that was part of this video - it truly is something so special.
That part at 5:48 when it says "you're beautiful"... man it touched my heart a lot ! I loved the way Cloud tail took care of Brightheart... when she couldn't stand her appearance
i have no words. this is so absolutely stunning. this is a monument for how many young artists and animators have been inspired by warriors, this is so important. haha i needto get some tissues im crying /
Happy 20 years everybody. If it wasn’t for this silly little book series I don’t think I would’ve made it this far. The warriors fandom is single-handedly the most hardworking and dedicated one I’ve ever seen, and thank you for making my childhood wonderful.
The end with Rusty/Firepaw with his collar at his feet, it just has those 'Back Where It All Started' vibes. I-it's just beautiful really, it's the only way to describe it. God. Am I amazed... I just wish I could do something even in shadow of its beauty.
It hit me when the song said “your beautiful” and Brightheart was there because honestly it’s fits. She is beautiful and her face is like wrecked y’know- this map has such a.. strong aura glued to it it’s just so good and enjoyable- I honestly wish I’d watched it earlier than 4 years later! Gosh the artists must’ve put hard work into this because you can see their effort. I enjoyed this map and I’m glad I watched it.

WINDCLAN 4:13 Past Windclan cats using both moors and tunnels to hunt. 4:21 Moth Flight's curiosity makes her follow a moth to discover the Moonstones. 4:31 Graywing, a former Riverclan medicine cat, sees three Windclan kits drowning in the river and doesn't save them, then receives a dream of what they could have been if they were saved. 4:37 Tallstar and his clan are driven out of the forest by Brokenstar. 4:44 Tallstar appoints Onewhisker as the leader because of their friendship instead of Mudclaw, his Deputy. 4:46 Mudclaw rebels against Onewhisker's leadership with a couple of like-minded cats, and is crushed from a falling tree by Starclan. 4:51 Tallstar reunites with Jake in Starclan. 4:57 CrowFeather's three different relationships with Feathertail, Leafpool, and Nightcloud. 5:03 Fallen Leaves watch Heatherpaw and Lionpaw play in the tunnels together, signifying the potential return of the tunnels. 5:11 Breezepelt is trying to get his father, Crowfeather, to acknowledge him. 5:17 Antpelt's double death. 5:24 Onestar tries to prove he doesn't need Thunderclan's help and destroys his friendship with Firestar when he attacks Thunderclan from the tunnels.

Also, Skyclans beginning was wrong. They were banished because there were 4 trees and the others took that as a sign from starclan that only 4 clans could be there, so they ganged up and banished skyclan
Chills. I left warriors a couple years ago, but somehow this popped up in my recommendations. You’ve reminded me of how amazing and vast this series was and is.
8:48 I was watching the picture, and I fucking knew the collar was gonna be there, I was just waiting for it, I knew it was going to be there, and when I saw it I can't stop crying what have you done to me
It's crazy, I'm a full-grown adult now, mid-20's, and I can still feel and recall every single event in this from reading this series throughout elementary/middle, and into high school. Still such a strong emotional connection. Despite the occasional discrepancy, the Erins did a great job with character development and world-building. I'll have my future children read these books one day, when they're old enough to handle the graphic content.
that's crazy I just read from the beginning up to where firestar loses his last life back to back to back and I can't recognize like ANY of these scenes 😭 I have a really hard time remembering what each cat looks like, I listen to audiobooks and just know them by their voices... these animations are always mind boggling to me I can hardly recognize anyone 😭 I can only so many cats described as a tabby before my mind breaks
I'm speechless and crying and shaking and oh my god. I'm still sitting here with my jaw on the floor. This. is. pure. ART. Every single artist and animator went above and beyond for this project. This MAP showcases the brilliance and incredible dedication of our community. Everything about Five Giants reminds me why I am so in love and so proud of this fandom. Thank you, everyone, for working so hard to bring us such a blessing and a gift. I KNOW this is going to be a legendary MAP, and I know I'll be talking about it and rewatching it til the end of time. BRAVO!!!!!!!
I think my heart just stopped. This was so amazing Q__Q Ah man, all the emotions I went through in this whole series is just all coming back at once. And those credits were an adventure all on there own! Such beautiful work everyone
I think one day, if a Warriors movie is ever animated, it should be done in MAP form. Like a normal movie but animated in different parts from different animators. To people not in the community it will be jarring, but to the fans, it will be just like home ❤️
Wow, you know, that's a great idea. I've been in this fandom for many years, and I think that one day, when I get more subscribers, I will do something similar on the first book. Warrior cats are already 20 years old. I can't believe it. Time flies so fast
A map would be the best for a movie, because the animator fans could put their best into something they love, and it will look the best that way because we love the animation!
This is, and will be, one of the best Warrior MAPs. It was so nice to watch, the music and the visuals really topped it off. However, the ending really got to me, seeing Firestar (as rusty) one final time and it being almost identical to 'Into the Wild's cover, the waterworks couldn't hold them tears back. There should be more MAPs like this in the future! Thank you to everyone who participated in creating this masterpiece, and may there be another 15 years of Warriors!
I don't even read Warriors so I didn't understand what was happening half the time in this video but even so this was REALLY GOOD! It amazes me how much work and time went into this MAP and it definitely paid off. All the animators involved did an astounding job!!!
I read it back in middle school but stopped at the end of the power of three and now i'm slowly forgetting things on it x'D I only remember bits and pieces of important events.
I've read all 6 arcs (none of the newer stuff or the "prequel " series) and my shitty memory can't make sense of like 90% of it. I recognized the huge scenes tho, fall of tigerstar, discovery of moonpool, death of firestar etc Was a beautiful animation, and if I had any emotions besides "depression™" I'd probably have tears or something
Firestar taught me to notice the bad in the world. Graystripe taught me to happy in the worst of places. Sandstorm taught me to be fierce when you need to be. Cinderpelt taught me to care for those who are different. Ravenpaw taught me to run from danger. Bluestar taught me to do what was best. Whitestorm taught me to make noblest of choices. Yellowfang taught me to care for family no matter what. Brackenfur taught me to be happy with what you have. Spottedleaf taught me to accept who you love. Tigerstar taught me to be ambitious and keep going. Darkstripe taught me to stay beside your only friend. Longtail taught me to recognise the evil in someone. Lionheart taught me to teach ones younger than you. Silverstream taught me to cherish true love. Scourge taught me to stand up to those who bullied you. Brightheart taught me to be strong no matter how ugly people say you are. Cloudtail taught me to love despite how they look. Dustpelt taught me to always pick the right side. Mousefur taught me to be fierce no matter how old I was. Thistleclaw taught me to fight for your ambitions (ignore this heh) Snowfur taught me to see past the bad in true love. Bramblestar taught me to learn from my teachers. Squirrelflight taught me to love and look after your siblings. Leafpool taught me about Stranger Danger (Crowfeather ahem) Ashfur taught me nothing. Crookedstar taught me to conquer your disabilities. Mistystar taught me to accept who I am. Blackstar taught me to be grumpy and suspicious of my enemies. Stonefur taught me to stand up for what you believe in, even in the face of danger. (+Loon) Tawnypelt taught me to ignore bad things from what people expect from you. Edit: I once posted this on the MAP Call 3 years ago. I post here knowing that warrior cats has shaped a lot of peoples childhoods. I’m 18 now and I’m glad to say that I’ve been in this fandom for a long time. Thank you all and the Hunters.
20 years... Of joy Sorrow Friendship Love Tears Pain Relief Drifting apart Coming together For the characters and readers alike. I discovered this series in 3rd grade at 8 years old. I'm 19 now, and still get Warriors books for my birthday. This series has carried us all through so much. Thank you Erin Hunter, for the wonderful journey. ❤
All of this started because one single cat wanted a different life. That cat's life went places. Helped many. And if you think about it, this MAP wouldn't exist if those words hadn't been spoken. *"Fire alone will save the clan."*
@@peipsols I didn’t even remember this animatic when I watched it today And I didn’t get the references the first time I watched it But i watched it again And got them all Also Thanks for pointing this out Cause I didn’t even notice (Sorry lmao Ive only read the first series once :,3) Ill fix it
Freakin' HECK it's so surreal seeing this entire thing done after so long. I got chills seeing certain parts. This is like seeing a movie I've been waiting for so long to go see. 110% worth the wait.
this is one of the most high quality MAPS ive ever seen. its super inspiring and i cant get enough-- i am so blown away at the hard work and talent crammed into this nearly 10 minute masterpiece. i guess you can say its a; *masterpiece theater*??? haha 💕
Moon heart shut up, you hater. Most children wouldn't understand the warrior cats books. The concept is too confusing and complicated for them. And, they probably couldn't pronounce most of the words, anyway. And, I am nineteen, yet I'm still collecting and reading warriors books. And, it was pretty popular in my middle and high schools. Still think it's for kids? Then you're not the smartest person I have met.
Dear everyone who worked and waited for this, we did it! Its been 3 years or so and we finally see the finished project and all the hard work! Im so glad to be apart of this fandom, it brought me to learn who i am and who i want to be blessss
The best thing one of my friends did was show me the small little spot on the bookshelf where the warriors books were. Can still remember the old teared spines and the ripped pages, but how I literally hugged the books and carried them everywhere I could, without warriors, I'll be honest, there's no way I would be where I am without it. Without warriors I wouldn't bother reading, I wouldn't bother discovering what communities the internet held, and the community inspired me to draw and one day animate. Its helped me so much with writing, storytelling, imagination, and everything that would've taken me so much longer to discover. Without warriors I would've probably never read harry potter. Warriors opened a whole new door for me and I'm grateful it at least used to be a part of my life. I dont bother to keep up with the a million new books but the first 4 arcs are what brought me the most memories.
OK NOW THAT I CAN ACTUALLY FORM WORDS. This project came out so wonderful!! Everyone did a fantastic job and the editing was so smooth. The transitions between each part worked so well off each other I felt I was watching a movie! God just amazing job to everyone involved!!
Wow, 3 years was defiantly worth the wait for this. I remember being in 6th grade seeings this, being so excited about it. The outcome was so amazing. I'm literally almost in tears. Everyone did such a great job!!
You know I remember a long long time ago, back when I was in elementary school and I'd be obsessed with this series. I can't count the days I spent in recess where my group of friends and I would play "warriors." And yes, I've stopped reading the series since the end of Omen of the Stars and a few super editions, but I always somehow come back to this series, even after a decade later. Warriors was that book series I'd spend hours religiously reading and rereading. The series I'd spend hours on youtube looking up warriors spoofs and amv's (and yes, I remember all the edgy warrior videos too back then haha). But seeing all these wonderful map's, this and countless others makes me realize how far this series has come. This series was started about an idea of cats of all things, and look at what it's done. It's brought countless people together, all across the world, over a love and adoration for this series. I realize I must be rambling quite a bit, but the nostalgia this entire video encompasses has me feeling a lot of things ok? But in all seriousness, thank you so much for this map's hard work, to everyone who contributed. It's wonderful to see the amount of love put into this. Here's to 15 years!
isnt it amazing how all of these tears? all these times we've held our breath? all these angry moments? all started by an orange cat; a kittypet joining a clan making his way up allt hose times hes lost a warrior or fought in battle even his last breath, beating the one cat who always toook something from him. i find it amazing how every cat has their own story to tell. Some stories arent continued, some art forgotten until people like you animators or others remember all those times and moments, even the small ones like swiftpaw's story. Or brakenfur or any other character. we make their story alive and that is what i love my good friend has been waiting for this map to be done for a very long time so thank you animators, for making this story alive
This will always be the best MAP in the Warriors community. This is the MAP the introduced me to the community, and got me more into art. If it were not for this MAP, things in my life would be different. I know it sounds dramatic but no joke
I still think this video is one of the most important things on the internet. This series is now a huge part of many people’s lives, and will live on within us for forever as a part of something REAL. So many people came together to breathe life into it, and even more felt so strongly because of it. Warriors is immortalized here, and immortalized as something important and poignant by being in our hearts.
How the hell has it already been 6 years since this map came out. I remember being 13 and watching this on the couch 10 minutes before I had to go to school. This community has really bring themselves together to make a masterpiece. That is literally how much this book series had affected us
![Wolf - Leafpool & Crowfeather [Complete Warrior Cats M.A.P]](/img/n.gif)
Thank you all so much for your plentiful patience and pining to see this project finally be released on UA-cam. Whiskermoon and I are beyond proud of every single contribution, be it a part, thumbnail, piece of fanart, or supportive comment, and we are aching with gratitute thanks to all of you.
Happy 15 long years of Warriors, everyone! May RiverClan swim! May SkyClan leap! And while ShadowClan sneaks, and WindClan bounds, ThunderClan hopes for all their stories to live forever, for it be on our hearts on in the books!
Also; I am first. I always was, and always will be.

That is kind of strangely the cutest thing I've ever heard
Everyone: warrior cats is not for kids, its very dangerous
Me who hasn't been killed, hurt, or neither has killed or hurt anyone: where death?
Note: I know what they mean, its just that it seems like those times are over, I mean I've checked, but its always a bit, meme, all I'm searching is those times to have a bit of spice
Y U S
What video did she say that?
@@Giaq89028 please I also wish to know.
At the end where Firestar sits there, his collar infront of him really hit me. This all began with him and now... wow...
*yes*
Yeah ikr
Oh my god yeah.. that almost made me shed a tear :'D
Shouldn't the collar be in the old forest though?
Nilsllew it's Firepaw, not Firestar. the drawing itself is a remake of the cover from Into The Wild
When I was 7 years old, I was diagnosed with ADD, and it was a hard road. It was 3rd grade and I still couldn’t read. My mother was disappointed and worried, and my teachers were so annoyed. I was scared and couldn’t do anything right. Then my friend introduced me to warriors. I learned to read just like that. Soon enough, I was excelling in school for the most part. I read every single book by the time I was in 6th grade. Looking back, I have been through a lot while reading warriors. Certain events from the series will remind me of happy and sad memories from my past that I want to cherish forever. I wish I could put into words how much these books changed my life for the better. Even after all my friends moved on from the series, I still read every single book. Watching this map makes me remember all the things I have gone through during the time I was reading the books. Seeing how far I, and along with others, have come. The gratitude I feel towards the fandom and the books is way more immense than I could ever say. Thank you for bringing this into creation. Even after a year of it being out, it still makes me emotional. I truly thank you.
Wow um thanks for all the likes??
Sadie oWo ya I feel you with the events feelings connected to ones in the books I feel like it’s just so crazy that a book series can change your life with such an impact
So heart touching,
Warrior cats was meant to do this...which is why I cherish them forever in my heart.
OMG that's so cool
I 😍 warriors
As of today (January 21, 2023), Warriors is officially twenty years old. It's hard to wrap my mind around that fact. I find it amazing that this community has created and brought together so many artists time and time again to create so many MAPs. Thank you, everyone, for such an amazing community.
No way that’s my birthday 🤯🤯
That’s an old firestar
@@LuciferLoo happy late birthday!
That was also my bd :0 twins!!!
Warriors really is amazing, which is why I love it❤
When Firestar looked back before the great journey and said "I've been here so very long" I cRIED

Same!!

I actually had to grab a tissue!! ;v;
One picture that started it all
I’m sorry, but why is nobody talking about how ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL the end credits are?!
I started crying at the end with the first book cover..
Honestly I don’t think many people care abt the credits
never thought that i'd cry at credits....BUT I DID!
Well i loved the credits they were awesome and beautiful and i was in awe of it. Idk if i liked it betr than the whole thing lol 😂
@@Vivian_Demissireflect on this comment
This should just be called “Warrior Cats: The Map”
Ikr
I agree because everybody knows a bout it except if yo blind
That is very true
@@marks9051 One of my friends who's a warriors fan didn't know about this map and I nearly cried. Although he did avoid getting the fire scene spoiled by avoiding maps soooo?
It really is probably the most iconic map in the fandom
The whole symbolic ending with Alderpaw and Sparkpaw resembling Firestar and Bramblestar is exactly why I didn’t keep reading after the Last Hope. It was very clear that the cats would keep going. At that point, it didn’t feel like the story NEEDED to be told anymore. It simply was.
Agreed
*Y U P*
I was just thinking this.
The Last Hope should have been the last warriors book, with Sparkpaw and Alderpaw becoming apprentices as the epilogue. A good ending, and a little nod to let the fans know that the world of our favorite warriors will keep turning, even if our journey has ended.
Nerd
The intro warning should go like this:
Warning:
This map is going to make you cry. Watch it with your own responsibility.
Yessss
Yes 😭
Yes watching this rn and I still cry.
Yes I was crying at the end because it was emotional when Graystripe and Firestar see each other again.
yes..too :*(((
I love how during the line "You're Beautiful" It shows BrightHeart
Samee
one of my favorite parts
Absolutely worth the wait, everyone did so well!
Just sad you couldn't be in it! Bet yours would've made it stunning addition! :x

When I mention Warriors they think I'm talking about the Basketball Team and I facepalm so hard
yes
More like 3000 years
Random Human more like “ 25 hours
I love how *one* small cat who just wanted to change his life, changed ours so much, he gave life to a big, BIG world and wow, im never forgetting this series honestly
read my comment it will make u cry , it did even make me cry
It’s genuinely amazing how one teeny tiny thing can cause such a cascade of events.
For those who are confused, the parts are all sorted out by Clans!
0:21 - 2:08 RiverClan
2:09 - 2:56 SkyClan
2:57 - 4:07 ShadowClan
4:08 - 5:30 WindClan
5:31 - 6:56 ThunderClan
The reason why there's a blue cat in RiverClan is because it's Mistystar. Mapleshade is in the intro because she's trying to move to RiverClan.
In ShadowClan segment, the brown tabby tom (besides Tigerclaw(star)) is Tigerheart(star)!
The drowning cat is Flametail, who allows the scene to transition to WindClan's segment.
Thank you for explaining! I’m still new to the fandom and some designs confuse me
@@Light-ro5bp ahh of course!
@@FIRECLAWZyt2I thought the drowning cat was Fallen Leaves 😂 because of WindClan but then again I’m sort of new to this fandom too lol
Thats why i was confused i thought it went in order
I grew up with these cats. Each one of them was impacted me in some way. Warriors has been my life since 2015.
It's made me cry, laugh, angry, happy and forced me into reality.
Without warriors idk what I would do. Warriors holds my heart forever. Always a warrior at heart
Same, warriors is actually inspirational for my life. I heard this song in the radio or something. And I started to cry, my dad was like “what’s wrong?”
I said “Warriors is sad!”
Same!!! Warriors has been a part of my life since 2011, when I was 9
Same, I started reading when I was like 11 in 2011 and I almost stopped because a lot of (boys only) people made fun of me for it but luckily I had some nice teachers who convinced me to stay with it!
Warriors has been my life since 2008/9 I think? I was 8 or 9 years old, now I'm going to be 19 in a few months, I stopped reading after season 6 came out, but I still have all my warriors books on my shelf and they're pretty much the only book series I've ever bought ^^
I red my first book in 2007 ❤️ still reading them. Warrior 4 ever. I will be 27 this year. 12 years and many more to come. In 3 years I am able to say that these cats are part for the half of my life 😻
I laughed, I cried, I was sad and enjoyed every moment with them.
Thanks for all the years 🎉😭
**loudly glares at youtube** Stay away we've got chainsaws
LOL chainsaws and Hammerclaws
if not now, then when?!
the Hammerclaws are being renounced
*(quietly stares)*
I died at loudly glares
I am not joking this made me tear up when I first watched it.
seeing everyone come together as a community and spend days, weeks, on each individual part, to create such an amazing tribute over the span of years warms my heart! the storytelling is amazing, props to the scriptwriters for making such a vast story flow together so well! each animator masterfully showed off their own style and best work, and the finished project was well worth it! You did a great job with the credits as well, the MAP has such a beautiful style it it! Congrats on 15 years of warriors!
Well said and I was tearing up.
Well said. I can't believe its already been fifteen years...can't wait for more to come!!

I can't believe this map is a few years old already.. Time flies so quick. I remember watching this around the first six months it came out and it's still as beautiful as it was in its' younger days
Same, i was here when it first came out
ye
Same!
400th like
and now it’s been another year, and here i am, still rewatching it to grasp my childhood a little longer :)
Into the Wild was the first book in the series I picked up, back in 2013 I think? Dear GOD it changed my life. I've gone through some crap, we all have, but Warriors is a constant in my life. So many lessons can be learned through these fluffy ninja cats, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I know I can fall back to these comfortable things in my life when it gets rough, and I'll always love them all to bits.
I think my favorite memory of these books is when I was reading the first arc to my little cousin. It was the 'Brightheart meets Princess for the first time' scene, and she was confused.
"Emma, why does Cloudtail love Brightheart if she's ugly?" she had asked.
"Why do you think she's ugly?" I stopped reading to talk to her.
"Well... she got hurt. Her face is all scratched up. She isn't pretty now," (She's seven. This was a very valid argument to her)
So I set the book down. "Just because Brightheart isn't pretty anymore doesn't mean she isn't beautiful. That's what Cloudtail meant when he said that. He loves her for her, not for how pretty she is. He doesn't care what she looks like, he cares about how kind she is, how brave she is. He loves her unconditionally," I explained.
My cousin then asked what 'unconditionally' meant.
"No strings attached, just pure love. He doesn't care what others think of her. To him, Brightheart is the most beautiful cat he could ever see."
She accepted it there. The next time we played with her LPS toys (it was a common thing for us), she had one with only one eye. It had gotten scratched up, so she just gave it an eyepatch made with tape and called it good.
Brightheart's story, and me explaining it to her, had influenced her. It didn't matter that the toy (and the character the toy was playing) only had one eye. It still had value. It wasn't broken. That's a lesson that I've never forgotten Warriors taught her.
That is so sweet! Yeah Warriors changed my life the characters the scenery and the community. I went through so much with this old series from being diagnosed with an anxiety disorder loosing my best friend and whole friend group, being put through heck at school and relentlessly bullied to screaming "Oh Starclan and meeting my now best friend. Warriors is the reason I'm surrounded by the people I know today. I'm proud to call myself a Warriors fan!
@@carl_Grimes_drawz That's great. I get teased a lot for being a high school student who loves to read books about talking cats who live in the woods, but this series has helped so many people, and I'm glad that the fanbase just gets bigger and bigger.
Does anyone think their destined for more when wacthing this?
I read the sight first, when I was 8
I was very confused but understood eventually
My school only had book 1,4,5,6 of Power of the three
And the second book of the sky clan comic
I had to buy the rest of the series but totally worth it
i love lps and warriors so put em together and you get...pinkbunnygirl43 vids
Does anyone else start tearing up when it says “You’re beautiful” and it cuts to Brightheart?
Yessss
Crying Everytime this comes up

Okay, if I'm being honest this gave me chills. Warriors has definitely changed so many people's lifes. And it all started with just one cat longing for a different life.
Firestar reminds me of well....me
This gave me shivers and i shed some tears 😢
Warriors definitely changed my life. If it wasn’t for warriors, I probably wouldn’t have the friends I have now, I wouldn’t be the same person. Wow, warriors is so impactful and emotional. It makes me cry just thinking of how much warriors has changed my life. It just, wow....
The most moving series I've ever read
I CRIED
I know you’re never going to see this. But I remember the first video for the parts being published when I was a KID. I remember waiting patiently for the final map to drop and always checking for updates. I would visualize it in my head with the descriptions given. And by God. The finished product was epic. I sort of hate that word, but I can’t even think of what else to say. It was more than worth the waiting. I was so excited! And now it’s been 6 years, maybe 8 or 9 since the original announcement? I’m an adult now. And I still come back to this all the time. And it makes me super emotional. So thanks for this
I saw it😆
same here, I was in middle school when I saw this and now im heading into college.
pretty crazy, huh? this is a real nostalgia trip
when this map first came out, i was ecstatic. i couldn't wait for it. but as the years went on, i forgot about it. i stopped reading warrior cats, stopped keeping up to date with it. i would always check back once or twice a year to see if it was done. in all honesty, i thought it would be abandoned. when the announcement date came out, and it came out on my birthday, i was so excited. i had no idea that the first warrior cats book came out on my birthday either. then i watched it today. i've never been so blown away by a map. all the love and feelings i once had for this world and these characters just came rushing back. i actually might cry. this was totally worth the wait. i've never seen so much thought put into a map, and i've never seen a more professional one. so thank you, not only WhiskerMoon, but every single person who did even the tiniest work in this. every part is beautiful. and thank you, Erins, for making this detailed, amazing, gorgeous universe happen. i know this will probably get lost in the sea of appreciative comments, but i still wanted to contribute. i dont think i've ever felt so emotional over an animation.
thank you
I hope you had a great birthday
Watch the ‘You’ map for some more feels.
moonlattee ayyyyyy this came out on my birthday too!!!
Jeremy Is Heere rlly?? cool!!!
WhiskerMoon wOW I DIDNT THINK YOUD RESPOND TY!! 💖
Oh gosh the credits were beautiful ;; I feel like this MAP gave me a strange sort of peace, it's been hard for me to let go of Firestar but I feel like after watching this and the credits I'm ready to move on :') (I still love him though)
Thank you for running after all of us participants to make this map possible and thank you everyone for working hard on their parts.
HulluMel, I haven't finished the series yet, and now after I read your comment, i questioned EVERYTHING I knew about Warrior Cats.
It brings back the old memories of the whole series... everything from the first book, to right now... and just the tears are streaming down my face, and I don't care if I can barely type, but just... this is amazing.
Oh my gosh same here... This gives me such closure over the last four arcs!!! Here's to Alderheart, Sparkpelt and all the other amazing new characters who are now take up the mantle for this wonderful new arc!🍻
This has turned me into an emotional mess.
An absolutely stunning collaboration between so many mind-blowingly talented individuals who all did so much to bring thing together.
I've never been more proud to be apart of this community than I am watching this.
Thank you everyone who put their skill, sweat, and love into this. You've brought our little community higher up than ever. ❤
Blixemi well said
Blixemi You are Fabulous!!!
OMG BLI|XIMI
completely correct \(^-^)/
What are you doing here my fine eyebrow.
How come I can identify every single cat and plot line but can’t remember how to do my math
Because our brains work differently from other peoples’.
Lmao I think your most likely to remember things you really like or are passionate about.
I can name almost any pokemon and yet forget how to do basic multiplication without a calculator half the time.
@@crowborn666 Same But with warrior cats
I'm but I can 100% relate because I'm doing math rn lol
My dad litterly Said that once to me
“You know all that Warrior cats stuff but you dont Remember math” Lol
The wait was so worth it. You know you got it good when even the credit sequence is amazing.
Quiet Rage Hi :3 (Don't mind me, I like saying hi for no reason)
When ur mad do u rage at the game quietly?
It’s so pretty!
Quiet Rage My favorite part was Firepaw in the end credits.(The feels😂)
Quiet Rage I know you...
Firestar singing "I've been here so very long." Is a small part of the map, but it doesn't *need* to be long either. It feels huge on its own because it really makes me think.
He's been here since the very beginning. We saw him grow from a simple kittypet wanting more than being a housepet to a great leader who's changed the Clans for the better.
With the series still growing, Warriors has gone a long, long way. There are multiple things people really don't like about it (as with everything), but as a whole it's an amazing series with great fans.
(I have a lot to say. But I don't know how to say it. So uh, take this and I hope you understand it.)
Oh and the picture of Rusty at the end made me cry.
Same it’s just... amazing how much it’s changed me and the people around me
oɯƃ ı ɥɐʌǝ uoʇ ɥǝɐɹp ɹnsʇʎ ıu ɐ louƃ ʇıɯǝ
I've been here for so very long should've been said by graystripe lol
Jay Storm dang it your comment made me cry aaa
Warriors has changed so much and yet here we are still making jokes about Dovewng's eyes and Thornclaw the patrol guy
This is fucking beautiful. I’ve really fallen away from warriors, but seeing this map after so long.... I’m actually in tears. I remember every stunning animation the fanbase has created over the years. Every animator and artist this fandom has inspired to become who they are, what they’ve created. It’s so amazing what people are capable of making together. Absolutely stunning
Brooke Guidotti honestly me too
Jim I never knew you read warrior cats
Came back to this after StarClan's chosen and both maps hit hard. Still iconic.
ong
At about 8:50, I started to tear up, and I felt a sob in my throat, and I wanted to cry. What a journey - for the animators, as well as for the readers in general. The series, the community, everyone who contributes to it (and those who merely watch, listen, and read) - we've all come so far, and I feel as if this is an embodiment of that growth, that development.
Everyone who worked on this project did beautifully. There's so much I'll have to go back and look through, because I know I've missed so much, and everyone deserves to have their hard work fully appreciated, with as much attention to detail as possible. I can imagine watching this a hundred times and still finding something new and wonderful each time.
I'll wind down before this gets too sappy. I just wanted to thank everyone for all of the time they put into this amazing project, especially to WhiskerMoon and Callipepla Californica for planning and putting it together. This really made my night, and I hope that everyone who sees it can really appreciate the love put into it
OMG same girl after the drawing of rusty/firepaw i almost cried
Leafia Paige Same Here It all stared with into the wild and end with the next generation of clan cats.
Leafia Paige yup yup rusty was the perfect ending/start for this map:')
This was so gorgeous, the editing really topped it off ;___; amazing work you guys, it’s incredible to see the community come together for stuff like this. I really hope more maps like this happen in the future
Finchwing same here! 👁👄👁
Finchwing - Same, it's just... Incredible, to see this type of MAPs. And also to be part of this community. This almost made me cry because I just got so... nostalgic.
Amazing.
Finchwing 6:03 you and the others did AMAZING
It will be HARD to beat this in a lot of ways.
I leave Comments So true.
This isn’t just a map.
Or THE map.
This is what I want the movie to become.
No, I take that back.
This IS the movie.
I always thought the Warriors movie would be so much better as a MAP. Just because that’s the culture we’ve brought the series up as, and to bring more recognition to the animating community for people who have never seen a MAP before.
there’s a movie?!!
@@christianb9312 No, sadly.
whats a map
@@beetlewing6632 multi animatior project (I think)
I cannot BELIEVE this was only 5 years ago. It seems like something we've always had.
For real I used to watch this on repeat as a kid
My perception of time has become very bad because of personal issues in 2019, so the fact that this MAP was released in 2018 (although I had been following since the MAP call) is insane to me. It feels like it was just published yesterday and yet 10 years ago
IF THIS DOESN'T BREAK THE INTERNET, I'LL BE VERY DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING THING I'VE EVER SEEN!!!!! Holy guacamole, guys, this was absolutely worth the wait! I got chills in so many parts, I couldn't even list them all. Every clan's best stories were represented here, and everyone's artwork was exceptionally well done. And then when I thought it couldn't get any better, the END CREDITS!!! It looked so professional! 8D I could totally see that happening in an actual Warriors movie. I stayed strong until the very last scene where the black and white lineart fades to color, and the picture pans to Firepaw sitting in front of his torn collar. Nostalgia hit me like a lighting bolt, and that's what started the water works. I've never been prouder to be a part of the Warriors community, and I really hope I'll get to be part of a project of this caliber someday in the future! Great job to everyone involved. We have a great fanbase going on here!
Cranberry the Cat this song should go viral fast but sadly if it does most people except the warriors community will not understand the actual map only the song.
Cranberry the Cat its cradled my phone screen literally my phone screen is cracked
Cranberry the Cat I almost cried when I saw Rusty with his collar. It really hots hard when you know there’s nothing you can do to stop the new series from coming. Time to sot back and re-read from book 1!
"Holy guacamole" You're my hero.
warriors is literally such an awesome fandom I can't even "^^"
Wow. Just wow. I can’t believe it. It’s done and it’s beautiful. I’m so proud to have been a part of this project and I’m so proud of each and every one of these artists. What an amazing project that wouldn’t have been possible without each and every one of you. We made this. Together. Warriors means something different to all of us, but today we can look at this and see how Warriors has brought us together and I just think that’s amazing. ;u; thank you for your endless patience Ser, Quail, Farrah, and wow. It’s just awesome to see this project finished.
K, I’m going to go to bed and cry now, but this is beautiful and I love y’all.

So beautiful. I cried.
Why isn’t your comment near the top, Tennelle? XD
This has to be one of the most amazing maps that I have ever seen! I am blown away by how much love and effort was put into each and every part of this!

The outcome: ✨beauty✨
No
@@Azz-gr3dutf do you mean "no"?
It’s not A warrior cat map...
It’s *THE* warrior cat map.
ikr?
Yessss
Pet_Fanatic113 true!
Lol😂
Hell yeah
omg when firestar sits with his collar at the end it hit me like a truck
I know, I cried when he died, probably my favorite character.
Firestar was such an amazing character I can’t f*cking believe why the Erin’s chose this as his death! I AM STILL CRYING RIGHT THIS SECOND BECAUSE OF THE ERINS!!but then seeing the end reminded me that he tried to show everyone his kitty pet life was long gone, he tried. And he succeeded
@@coolkid1965 finally I'm surrounded by fellow Fireboi lovers!
I don't have a life OwO my aunt has a cat named Malibu that looks like a real life version firestar but if Malibu was a forest cat he is at his apprentice age so I like to call him fire paw UwU
PastelSky AJ how cute! I have a tabby that looks kinda like a Sandstorm and Firestar mix named Max.
Year of the dog is cancelled yO
More seriously thank you to the hosts and everyone who contributed and helped to make this project a reality! I got chills from beginning to the end, the fully drawn ending was the (surprise) cherry on the cake aaa

This comment is under rated 😢
Altough I think that at 5:40 Clawface killed Spottedleaf
No, its tigerclaw and redtail@@laurarue662
I know the last part was only supposed to be Alderpaw and Sparkpaw looking excited at each other because of their apprenticeship as the end of the song became more cheerful, but out of all the parts of this map that impacted me the most for some reason.
Neither of them knew anything about what all their ancestors had gone through, hence the entire rest of the map. It just shows such pureness and naiveness, it's almost beautiful.
I keep coming back to watch this over and over again since it came out, this is truly one of the most amazing and detailed maps ever put together in the warrior cats community. Every single person put their all into their small parts, and this is so obviously reflected in the end result. Ugh it's just so amazing I can't lmao
Y'all managed to fit 15 YEARS of books into 7 MINUTES IN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WAY POSSIBLE
Seriously though this turned me into a mess of years and nostalgia. All the animators did so well and all the hard work paid off. I could tell what was going on in every scene and that's rare to find with a MAP. Well done y'all.
poultry legg yoooo it’s you!! I’m glad I have someone to bond over with this with pfft. I wholeheartedly agree. It made me cry too. These are very special books for me.
Willow Spirit EEEEY seriously though how tf did you find my comment. If you have discord could you send me it on g+?
poultry legg of course!
poultry legg I agree
hamilton in 7 minutes who? I only know warriors.
What if Firestar woke up one day... only to discover it was all a dream?
Firestar woke up, surrounded by some soft fabrics substance. He stood and yawned, surprised to not find the scents of the forest around him. Confused, he looked about. Fear grabbed him as he realized he was in a twoleg den. But.. memories were rushing back. He swung his head around, hearing a jingle noise. There was something on his neck... it was.. his collar? His collar that he had worn all those many years ago. But... had it been so long? He look out the window, surprised to see he was back in the old forest. All of the trees were there. As he tried to process something, he heard a twoleg call something that sounded almost like... Rusty. He knew that name. It was 𝘩𝘪𝘮. He looked out at the trees, and tried to hold back the tears. It had been a dream. Everything, the clans, the freedom. He looked out, his breathe shaking. None of it had happened...
The Clans didn’t exist.
Rusty gazed out at the window in sorrow. All the cats he’d loved... Sandstorm... her name seemed faded. He had daughters too, but their names were being lost in memory. His friends, his Clan. He forced himself to remember. He had to remember.
But as the dream faded farther, Rusty felt himself thrown into a flurry of memories he didn’t understand, places he’d never seen, cats he’d never met.
As he gazed into the forest, the comfort of his twoleg home began to come back to him, and he suddenly found an emotion burning deep inside that he hadn’t realized before.
As the trees began to fill with dawn light, Rusty saw the flicker of bird wings.
And the sleek, ruffled tail of a wildcat.
( ...You guys... the love and support you have given me from this little piece of writing is astounding and absolutely incredible!! I’ve read every single reply and each and every one just makes my day. You have no idea how special all that feedback is to me. I’ve been writing for many years and will continue to do so! Thank you so much! You all are amazing! 💖 )
I would be mad and disappointed
JK Hammon yea except he’s dead
That actually made me kinda emotional
what if he wanted that dream to be true so much he was the one to create the clans instead, or he becomes twisted trying to reach this dream, forcing cats to join him or something.
@@kzyurii ok i like the one where he became twisted
Warrior Cats got me through so much when I was younger. Re-reading the whole series and I swear to god I will always come back to these books. This video made me so emotional because it reminded me of growing up and feeling so lost, yet finding solace in these books. The intricate lives of these cats made so much sense to me, whereas my own life was confusing and unpredictable. Thank you to everyone that was part of this video - it truly is something so special.
what series are you on?
You explained my life completely!
That part at 5:48 when it says "you're beautiful"... man it touched my heart a lot ! I loved the way Cloud tail took care of Brightheart... when she couldn't stand her appearance
It was so perfectly timed with Brightheart’s appearance in the video! I love her she is my FAVORITE ❤️😁
Freaking Cloudtail, man. Easily one of the best cats in the series.
It transitions from Cinderpelt to Brightheart probably because they’re sisters
Cinderpelts in the start (R.I.P)(also I love brightheart and all but-Ok fook it I'm changing my thing to Brightheart
they’re the cutest couple
It's five giants because cats have five toe beans
uh
um,, yes??!;;
ForsakenSpirits entire comment section: *praise for video*
forsaken spirits: haha toebeans
But what about starclan
...wow XD
i have no words. this is so absolutely stunning. this is a monument for how many young artists and animators have been inspired by warriors, this is so important. haha i needto get some tissues im crying /
Happy 20 years everybody. If it wasn’t for this silly little book series I don’t think I would’ve made it this far. The warriors fandom is single-handedly the most hardworking and dedicated one I’ve ever seen, and thank you for making my childhood wonderful.
ok we can just mark this day down now as a historical point for the warriors fandom sorry no questions asked
It's a double holiday for our fandom
Today is Warrior's birthday too
Double holiday fuckinfgjdn do ot everyone mark your calendars
January 21, the day that brought us Warriors and the day that brought us the best map to ever be made. It’s so beautiful.
We need to start a (inter)national holiday on Jan.21st just for this MAP.
The end with Rusty/Firepaw with his collar at his feet, it just has those 'Back Where It All Started' vibes. I-it's just beautiful really, it's the only way to describe it. God. Am I amazed... I just wish I could do something even in shadow of its beauty.
Omfg even the credits were illustrated so beautifully and it fit the series so much. Amazing work everyone!
Minty Bliss oh hello I see your comments all the time of Moonkitti’s channel 😂
It hit me when the song said “your beautiful” and Brightheart was there because honestly it’s fits. She is beautiful and her face is like wrecked y’know- this map has such a.. strong aura glued to it it’s just so good and enjoyable- I honestly wish I’d watched it earlier than 4 years later! Gosh the artists must’ve put hard work into this because you can see their effort. I enjoyed this map and I’m glad I watched it.
it def is my fav part of the map I always look forward to this specific part!!
I come back to this map every now and again....

IAznFluffy I knew most of these, but this still really helped me out
I'm pretty sure the windclan- cat saving the kit was gray wing but I'm not sure
Gray Wing wasn't a Riverclan medicine cat
Also, Skyclans beginning was wrong. They were banished because there were 4 trees and the others took that as a sign from starclan that only 4 clans could be there, so they ganged up and banished skyclan
Galaxy Fox Animates there was another cat called GrayWing that belonged in Riverclan
MAN WHAT A JOURNEY and those credit were absolutely beautiful you two!! what a fun way of doing it, everyone did a fantastic job!
xJaystarzx I wanna see warriors movie like that!
Moth's Echo me to
Also xjaystarzx I love your I will be there.
All of you are so good ❤️😍 i love it so much 🤗 i can't stop watching it 😊☺️

I don’t even read Warriors anymore, yet I keep coming back to this map because it’s so beautiful.
I especially like how each of the five clans are represented separately

Can’t keep track of all the stories...
Chills. I left warriors a couple years ago, but somehow this popped up in my recommendations. You’ve reminded me of how amazing and vast this series was and is.
*w h y*
You should try re-reading it, nostalgia is the best whenever I re-read the series
Don’t forget to read the new books!
8:48 I was watching the picture, and I fucking knew the collar was gonna be there, I was just waiting for it, I knew it was going to be there, and when I saw it I can't stop crying what have you done to me
SAME god i love maple
spicylemons I miss Firestar **le cries in corner** DANG YOU INVISIBLE NINJAS!!
8:55 Although I think the collar is blue, not pink. Although I'm just going off memory here.

I've been a part of the warrior cat community for 10 years and not one amv/map goes by without someone commenting on the color of something lmao
Same ;-; beautiful 😢😳🦁
It's crazy, I'm a full-grown adult now, mid-20's, and I can still feel and recall every single event in this from reading this series throughout elementary/middle, and into high school. Still such a strong emotional connection. Despite the occasional discrepancy, the Erins did a great job with character development and world-building. I'll have my future children read these books one day, when they're old enough to handle the graphic content.
You should try rereading them and the new ones! I’m 24 and I still read the new ones and old ones as a way to get my mind off of stressful stuff!
that's crazy I just read from the beginning up to where firestar loses his last life back to back to back and I can't recognize like ANY of these scenes 😭 I have a really hard time remembering what each cat looks like, I listen to audiobooks and just know them by their voices... these animations are always mind boggling to me I can hardly recognize anyone 😭 I can only so many cats described as a tabby before my mind breaks
Dude the ending was fantastic it felt like I saw an ending of a movie
Jolie Flamme umm sorry but I don't really understand you
it's just like "Don't cry! don't cry! DON'T CRY!!!" but than you failed because you're crying ;__; because this is soooo beautiful
Laura Vogt Yes
I'm speechless and crying and shaking and oh my god. I'm still sitting here with my jaw on the floor. This. is. pure. ART. Every single artist and animator went above and beyond for this project. This MAP showcases the brilliance and incredible dedication of our community. Everything about Five Giants reminds me why I am so in love and so proud of this fandom. Thank you, everyone, for working so hard to bring us such a blessing and a gift. I KNOW this is going to be a legendary MAP, and I know I'll be talking about it and rewatching it til the end of time. BRAVO!!!!!!!
I think my heart just stopped. This was so amazing Q__Q Ah man, all the emotions I went through in this whole series is just all coming back at once. And those credits were an adventure all on there own! Such beautiful work everyone
I think one day, if a Warriors movie is ever animated, it should be done in MAP form. Like a normal movie but animated in different parts from different animators. To people not in the community it will be jarring, but to the fans, it will be just like home ❤️
Oh that would be excellent
I think an Into the Wild movie is gonna bemade i 2023!
@@MistCloud. I really hope so ...
Wow, you know, that's a great idea.
I've been in this fandom for many years, and I think that one day, when I get more subscribers, I will do something similar on the first book.
Warrior cats are already 20 years old. I can't believe it. Time flies so fast
A map would be the best for a movie, because the animator fans could put their best into something they love, and it will look the best that way because we love the animation!
This is, and will be, one of the best Warrior MAPs. It was so nice to watch, the music and the visuals really topped it off. However, the ending really got to me, seeing Firestar (as rusty) one final time and it being almost identical to 'Into the Wild's cover, the waterworks couldn't hold them tears back. There should be more MAPs like this in the future! Thank you to everyone who participated in creating this masterpiece, and may there be another 15 years of Warriors!
Correction: THE best Warriors MAP.
baby its YOU (you) YOURE THE ONE I LOVE YOURE THE ONE I NEED YOURE THE ONLY ONE I SEE CMON BABY ITS YOUUUU
hEKC
I don't even read Warriors so I didn't understand what was happening half the time in this video but even so this was REALLY GOOD! It amazes me how much work and time went into this MAP and it definitely paid off. All the animators involved did an astounding job!!!
IceArtz sad you dont read, but I know the feeling, in warriors is somethings like magic/heaven/super powers so :') but good you like it
I read it back in middle school but stopped at the end of the power of three and now i'm slowly forgetting things on it x'D I only remember bits and pieces of important events.
IceArtz oh :D okaiyh
I've read all 6 arcs (none of the newer stuff or the "prequel " series) and my shitty memory can't make sense of like 90% of it. I recognized the huge scenes tho, fall of tigerstar, discovery of moonpool, death of firestar etc
Was a beautiful animation, and if I had any emotions besides "depression™" I'd probably have tears or something

LOL THE ASHFUR ONE-
LMAO "Ashfur taught mee nothing."

This is amazing
Okay so every character in the books taught you to do something stupid?
I like to think with the credits, when it says “We were born in the valley” it’s all the Skyclan cats signing-
is it weird you made me cry even harder with that comment?
@@catmeowing4329 is it weird that you're a crying cat crying over a comment on a video about cats?

For the characters and readers alike.
I discovered this series in 3rd grade at 8 years old. I'm 19 now, and still get Warriors books for my birthday. This series has carried us all through so much.
Thank you Erin Hunter, for the wonderful journey. ❤
All of this started because one single cat wanted a different life.
That cat's life went places.
Helped many.
And if you think about it, this MAP wouldn't exist if those words hadn't been spoken.
*"Fire alone will save the clan."*
Pastel Prism ya it’s amazing to think that
Macaroon Moon you saying that made me want to reread the series a third time
Qᴜɪʟʟ only a third?
Macaroon Moon fire alone WILL save the clan, just wanted to say that xd
@@peipsols
I didn’t even remember this animatic when I watched it today
And I didn’t get the references the first time I watched it
But i watched it again
And got them all
Also
Thanks for pointing this out
Cause I didn’t even notice
(Sorry lmao Ive only read the first series once :,3)
Ill fix it
Freakin' HECK it's so surreal seeing this entire thing done after so long. I got chills seeing certain parts. This is like seeing a movie I've been waiting for so long to go see. 110% worth the wait.
Every time i watch this i want to read the whole series again
Soviet Doggo SAME?!
I do too.
Im too tempted
IKR
Ikr
I love how the credits is the map and it shows All the clans while it's showing the participants!
100% agree
this is one of the most high quality MAPS ive ever seen. its super inspiring and i cant get enough-- i am so blown away at the hard work and talent crammed into this nearly 10 minute masterpiece. i guess you can say its a; *masterpiece theater*??? haha 💕
Woaa it's you?? I didn't expect you to be here
And also, I _definitely_ agree with you!
This is books for kids
What does MAP mean? Also, I'm on Midnight, so I'd like to ask are there any spoilers for it in this?
MAP=Multiple Animator Project. There are spoilers in this MAP for everything up until Alderpaw's arc
Moon heart shut up, you hater. Most children wouldn't understand the warrior cats books. The concept is too confusing and complicated for them. And, they probably couldn't pronounce most of the words, anyway. And, I am nineteen, yet I'm still collecting and reading warriors books. And, it was pretty popular in my middle and high schools. Still think it's for kids? Then you're not the smartest person I have met.
*I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S ACTUALLY HERE IS THIS A DREAM IT'S BEAUTIFUL EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED IS AMAZING AAAA*
Dear everyone who worked and waited for this, we did it! Its been 3 years or so and we finally see the finished project and all the hard work!
Im so glad to be apart of this fandom, it brought me to learn who i am and who i want to be
blessss
The best thing one of my friends did was show me the small little spot on the bookshelf where the warriors books were. Can still remember the old teared spines and the ripped pages, but how I literally hugged the books and carried them everywhere I could, without warriors, I'll be honest, there's no way I would be where I am without it. Without warriors I wouldn't bother reading, I wouldn't bother discovering what communities the internet held, and the community inspired me to draw and one day animate. Its helped me so much with writing, storytelling, imagination, and everything that would've taken me so much longer to discover. Without warriors I would've probably never read harry potter. Warriors opened a whole new door for me and I'm grateful it at least used to be a part of my life. I dont bother to keep up with the a million new books but the first 4 arcs are what brought me the most memories.
OK NOW THAT I CAN ACTUALLY FORM WORDS. This project came out so wonderful!! Everyone did a fantastic job and the editing was so smooth. The transitions between each part worked so well off each other I felt I was watching a movie! God just amazing job to everyone involved!!
That end credits sequence is exactly what I hope the end of a real Warriors movie would look like.
yeah ^^
ikr ^-^
YEEESSSSSSS!!
TRUEEEEE
Gay Gem Goddess ikr!?!
I did not see the end credits coming, wow, just wow!
RoseThorn Wolf that is how the warrior cat movie(if they make it)credits Better look
Aqua the Fox yea if they don't they'll have a mob of angry fans with torches and pitchforks running after them
“The valley” is such a dang good song to end this to, it’s so beautiful and full of adventure I like painting my watercolor work to the song.
Oh I wanna cry. These silly cats have helped me through so much.
Nolan Hembree same
Book for kids. Nerd.
@@Azz-gr3du shut up
@@Azz-gr3du really now
@@Azz-gr3du Well,well,well what were you watching a video about these 'kids books' for then?
this makes me want to finally go back and reread the entire series omg
alpenglow warriors is such a good set of books. I miss the simpler days when it was just Firepaw and his clan.
Wow, 3 years was defiantly worth the wait for this. I remember being in 6th grade seeings this, being so excited about it. The outcome was so amazing. I'm literally almost in tears. Everyone did such a great job!!
came full circle with starclan's chosen, two amazing maps
Oh, truly, though.
You know I remember a long long time ago, back when I was in elementary school and I'd be obsessed with this series. I can't count the days I spent in recess where my group of friends and I would play "warriors." And yes, I've stopped reading the series since the end of Omen of the Stars and a few super editions, but I always somehow come back to this series, even after a decade later. Warriors was that book series I'd spend hours religiously reading and rereading. The series I'd spend hours on youtube looking up warriors spoofs and amv's (and yes, I remember all the edgy warrior videos too back then haha). But seeing all these wonderful map's, this and countless others makes me realize how far this series has come. This series was started about an idea of cats of all things, and look at what it's done. It's brought countless people together, all across the world, over a love and adoration for this series.
I realize I must be rambling quite a bit, but the nostalgia this entire video encompasses has me feeling a lot of things ok? But in all seriousness, thank you so much for this map's hard work, to everyone who contributed. It's wonderful to see the amount of love put into this. Here's to 15 years!
WonderAsh I was obsessed when I was younger too
My friends and I played warriors at recess, too.
im 4 years late to it 😓
:,p
WonderAsh omg me and my friends made a whole clan sksjsn i miss those days :/
HELL YEAAAAA
MapleSpyder YELL HEAAAAAA
_HELL FREAKIN Y E A H H H_
isnt it amazing how all of these tears? all these times we've held our breath? all these angry moments?
all started by an orange cat; a kittypet joining a clan
making his way up allt hose times hes lost a warrior or fought in battle even his last breath, beating the one cat who always toook something from him. i find it amazing how every cat has their own story to tell. Some stories arent continued, some art forgotten until people like you animators or others remember all those times and moments, even the small ones like swiftpaw's story. Or brakenfur or any other character. we make their story alive and that is what i love
my good friend has been waiting for this map to be done for a very long time
so thank you animators, for making this story alive
SophmicRCP I wanna cry this is so true

This will always be the best MAP in the Warriors community. This is the MAP the introduced me to the community, and got me more into art. If it were not for this MAP, things in my life would be different. I know it sounds dramatic but no joke
8:47 Just think it all started with a kittypet going "into the wild " 😢🙂
:')
Amv Leafeon same. I started to cry
-I totally wasn't crying, pfft-

"Rats aren't so hard" says Firestar immediately drowning in rats

Lol a Moonkitti's reference on the I spoil video.
Moonkitti lol
I still think this video is one of the most important things on the internet. This series is now a huge part of many people’s lives, and will live on within us for forever as a part of something REAL. So many people came together to breathe life into it, and even more felt so strongly because of it. Warriors is immortalized here, and immortalized as something important and poignant by being in our hearts.
Poppet Pebbles ikr!!!
sappy, but i agree.
How the hell has it already been 6 years since this map came out. I remember being 13 and watching this on the couch 10 minutes before I had to go to school. This community has really bring themselves together to make a masterpiece. That is literally how much this book series had affected us
