People don't realize how long these videos take. This video has been in the making for months, not to mention all the obstacles you had to overcome. Yet you still delivered on every aspect of the video and more, like always. Now that's what I call a CITRINE MOMENT
There's no way you got Daniel Krafft! This is insane. Love both the animations. It just shows (especially in the second one) that you can still get the emotion and point across through the animation without "bending" the joints. Absolutely love it
This is peak animation! Just trying to wrap my head around how much time and effort and computing power this took to make is insane. It’s so cool to get a glimpse at how it all comes together on your end, because as 3d artists seeing great works in the community drives us all to push on for bigger and better. Well done!
Your animation has to be one of the best CGI animated Brickfilms I'VE EVER SEEN! I've always wanted to know how Ninjago: Masters Of Spinjitzu would've looked like if it was brickbuilt. You completely captured the aesthetic of the "Final Battle" episodes, haven't seen the season in a long time, but the visual of the ninja's suit colors and elements shining on an extremely dark sky is my biggest memory of the season finale, something that Season 15 "Crystalized" aesthetically failed at when doing the real Final Battle against the Overlord. The Spinjitzu animation complements that idea, the energy shines in the dark like gold, we also see Sensei Wu, Misako and Dr. Julien on the Ultradragon and that legendary scene where Dareth wears the Stone Army's helmet, this is pure nostalgia! Thank you so much for making this animation, it absolutely fills me with joy.
As a 3D animator/and huge ninjago fan myself, I must say I am really impressed, you did an Incredible Job lad! I am sadly not able to animate ninjago myself since I have no ninjago models myself and can’t model, but it’s really amazing what you guys just made there! :p
As a Ninjago fan, you have exceeded any expectations I've had. You're gonna make us Ninjago Brickfilmers obselete pretty soon. 😂 And I love that Spinjitzu effect!
Definitely loved yours! It would be awesome to get all the seasons reanimated like this. Imagine stuff like the Nindroids or the tournament of elements with this!
Can we appreciate the way the tornadoes look for a minute? They are so accurate to the way Willfilm animated them with an added effect of cool and vibrant, glow lighting! Awesome Job Citrine!
Bro I’ve been watching Ninjago for so long and the fact that you took the time to do this makes me so happy, and I’m sure that a lot of other Ninjago fans feel this way too! Also anybody else sad that Ninjago is possibly ending soon? 😢
As an old fan of the show, I have been waiting for someone to create a faithful adaptation of Ninjago in the style of the Lego Movie for the longest time. You totally killed it with the spinjitzu! That's some professional quality and respect for the source material right there!
Gah that looked so incredibly smooth and fluent!!! The animation is literally godly dude I loved them both and I loved the spinjitzu affect I wish that could be achieved in Lego stop motion animation because I would use that every time! Once again great work can’t wait to see what’s next!
The first one won. Only thing that took away for me was the lack of background elements (making it feel super enclosed in some shots) and the distracting amount of glow. Good job for both.
Man I can’t believe I’m stumbling upon this masterpiece a year later! Props to you man, the recreation of the scene looked stellar! It is really good to see my childhood is still very much alive :)
I was hoping you were going to do it the other way around, with old designs and new scenes. However, the Dareth parts was AWESOME, especially with the Helmet of Shadows, and your solution for Spinjitzu could not have been done better.
This video came in in my recommended several times but I always ignored it because I thought it would just be a 9 minute long talking video but then I saw your side by side comparison in UA-cam shorts so I knew I just had to watch the full thing and my thoughts are this is incredible and I am so happy that this exists
People need to appreciate this more it takes months for a 30 second scene and and the editing on this video in general is amazing I don’t know if he edits it but the editing is amazing. We truly need to appreciate him more
I love how you did the characters and really enjoyed how you animated characters who had two different designs in the movie and show, like Misako and Nya!
As an ultra ninjago fan and watched all seasons 3 times in a row i gotta say thank you the movie is a let down and will be forgotten forever I really thank you for this
I’m sad ninjago got cancelled man,brung so many good times in my life when it would come on cartoon network edit:look at the first reply,I am happy now.
@@matrixpictures7799 So it was a lie it was being cancelled?I saw some internet foolery a bit back that it was being cancelled,but it makes me happy to know it isnt
I love ninjago and when I heard they were gonna make a movie I was excited me and my friends went to see it because we were all obsessed with ninjago and we were not disappointed I still love the movie for what they did at the time.
Citrine, I have no words for this, the amount of failure and overcoming of obstacles put into this is utterly amazing. I’ve been recently learning animation and boy let me tell you, you are my genuine role model. Keep it up man, your truly talented
YOU SHOULDVE WORK IN THE LEGO MOVIE PRODUCTION!!! ur sooo underated!! This iss sooo good 😭 I wish you success in the future and look forward to ur future vids 🎉
Bro I kinda feel like crying, I've always wanted people to see how awesome the show is and recreate it in Lego version! This is awesome! Thanks you so much! Also will the Spinjitzu models be available anywhere? I'll pay good money haha
I liked the first more. Idk why. The „tornadoes“ looked a bit too shiny. About the second one. I thought everything had a shine there. I didn’t liked that. But it was amazing that the whole background was brick build
I think making a Ninjago Movie with unrelated canon is fine, as long as it still keeps the spirit of the original series. Kinda like the Sonic movies. But the actual Ninjago Movie had none of that, almost like it was embarrassed to respect what came before. But yeah, this paints a great picture of what could've been
The movie feels like the producers didn’t know what ninjago was and movie was based it off a high school au fan fiction that 12 year old wrote on watt pad. Also I love the way you animated spinjisu.
I love how no one understands that the movie wasn’t supposed to be like the show in every aspect it’s supposed to be based in the same world that the original Lego movie took place people like you who have no idea what you are talking abt make me cringe
@@gavinhooks3069 I understand where your coming from, and looking at the movie from fresh eyes as if I didn’t watch the show, it’s a good movie. I just felt a little salty because the movie impacted the show a lot
How did you get that dragon model so easily lmao. Did you build it digitally like was done with the tank, and then rig it yourself, or did you get the model online somewhere? Since I know lego has animated models of their sets sometimes.
Great work on this man! Same with Scared face, Honestly though I really wish they went with the original concepts of the movie like the time travel and etc, besides it would make more sense since we see a human garmadon (before he was possessed) instead of just straight up Lord Garmadon who was just born with 4 arms the entire time and etc. Idek, I know the LEGO movie universe isn't all about the seriousness and being logical since its world of talking and living plastic blocks but some bit of moments where It shows that strain of seriousness in certain plot points would also balance it out and sweeten it up a bit. I also really didn't like how there was a cat in the movie, like dude I get its imagination but it should stay in its own barrier and not break any walls. At least, the first lego movie did a good job when it came to reality like the father and son moments.
Honestly S8 - 10 would have worked well as a movie or at least with each season being a movie to have a movie that isn't 10 hours lomg, have the feeling that time passed bewteen each season and forcing march of the oni to be longer
@@citrinesanimations And the fact that you recreated the iconic Dareth scene made me so damn happy. I mean, it's not something you see every day. Thank you for your hard work, you and your amazing talented friends should create your own TV LEGO show! I would pay good money to watch that!
Can I know how you did the Spinjitzu? I've started animating Lego on Blender and I love Ninjago. I would love to make my spinjitzu like this. Any tips?
Citrine EPIC WORK! those spinjitzu tornadoes were very well crafted as and those lens flares really gave it an extra kick. Also this video itself is just so unique!
That turned out too amazing!! I can see how much effort you put into this. And it turned out just amazing! Seriously, congrats to you guys, you're awesome too.
ok this is freaking amazing, putting the curved pieces along the tornadoes to make them look like they act like actual tornadoes is genius, and the enimation overall is extremely high quality, this is great
That looked extremely painful to make, good job!
Thanks again! You're not wrong though haha
Daniel Krafft is a Ninjago fan?????
hopefully lol
I never knew you were a lego ninjago fan until seeing this video!
bruh u called spinjitzu a tornado

I do. I’m an animator myself

I have a sudden urge to watch every episode of Ninjago animated like this

Imagine

Same every episode would be awesome in that style
As a Ninjago fan, this is absolutely incredible, I’d love to have an actual Ninjago dedicated movie with this animation. Truly amazing!
Thanks!!
You telling me a single animator on UA-cam, almost did a better job than a whole studio?! Fantastic job Citrine!!
Thanks!
Citrine you outdone yourself!
@@citrinesanimations Good job Dude, I loooooooooove ninjago, especially Lloyd
well only a part, I'd like to see if Citrine can re animate the whole movie

THANK YOU, means alot
4:35 love how Darel has a fingerprint on his leg, it's an amazing detail that I love. And I noticed that a lot of the Lego here has fingerprints!
Thank god dareths now canon to the ninjago movie
They said it couldn’t be done… but here we are! I’m glad you saw it haha
If it isn't the leader of the Dareth worshipping cult! See you on Friday for the next meeting?
The spinjitsu was AWESOME. It looked amazing and fit very well with the style of the movie.

@Jacob Hawkey hello
The re-animated scenes look amazing. Especially the first one, the animation looks exactly like the movie! This is amazing!
Can we appreciate the way the tornadoes look for a minute?
They are so accurate to the way Willfilm animated them with an added effect of cool and vibrant, glow lighting!
Awesome Job Citrine!
Misako´s design is perfect!
As well as the Spinjitzu build and animation!
Everything here was amazing
you should show this to the Ninjago crew!
Thanks, I'm not sure how I could get them to see it though. If you know how, make sure to let me know!
Brent miller the voice actor of Zane react to alot of fan stuff he did for brick legends try calling him or check channel
I like misakos design as well, due to the fact she has two different designs in the movie and show
Bro I’ve been watching Ninjago for so long and the fact that you took the time to do this makes me so happy, and I’m sure that a lot of other Ninjago fans feel this way too! Also anybody else sad that Ninjago is possibly ending soon? 😢

@@citrinesanimations it's not ended.
As an old fan of the show, I have been waiting for someone to create a faithful adaptation of Ninjago in the style of the Lego Movie for the longest time. You totally killed it with the spinjitzu! That's some professional quality and respect for the source material right there!
Thank you!
Me: *Not able to watch Ninjago because netflix is broken*
Me seeing this: What a masterpiece this is! *sheds a tear*
Gah that looked so incredibly smooth and fluent!!! The animation is literally godly dude I loved them both and I loved the spinjitzu affect I wish that could be achieved in Lego stop motion animation because I would use that every time! Once again great work can’t wait to see what’s next!
Glad you liked it!!
The first one won. Only thing that took away for me was the lack of background elements (making it feel super enclosed in some shots) and the distracting amount of glow. Good job for both.
Fair enough.
You should remake that whole entire episode of ninjago go that would be so cool
0:15 Ooh watcha saaaaay ooh that you only meant weeeeeell yea. Come back brown ninja!!
DUDE THIS IS SO AWESOME! I wish you would be a part of them on animating and effect addings. The best CGI ive ever SEEN!
Means a lot! Thanks
Man I can’t believe I’m stumbling upon this masterpiece a year later! Props to you man, the recreation of the scene looked stellar! It is really good to see my childhood is still very much alive :)
This video was epic! Also loved how you used smears for spinjitzu, really creative!
ayyy thanks, glad you noticed that
I was hoping you were going to do it the other way around, with old designs and new scenes.
However, the Dareth parts was AWESOME, especially with the Helmet of Shadows, and your solution for Spinjitzu could not have been done better.
Yo a chima profile picture, awsome
someday i hope they reboot the show with only minor changes and better animation.
This video came in in my recommended several times but I always ignored it because I thought it would just be a 9 minute long talking video but then I saw your side by side comparison in UA-cam shorts so I knew I just had to watch the full thing and my thoughts are this is incredible and I am so happy that this exists
4:55 I thought Lloyd was talking 💀
People need to appreciate this more it takes months for a 30 second scene and and the editing on this video in general is amazing I don’t know if he edits it but the editing is amazing. We truly need to appreciate him more
Thanks! It took almost a year to edit this video lmao so I’m glad you enjoyed it!
This is absolutely epic, would love to see a full episode in this style lol, keep up the good work
thanks! maybe one day some people could work together to make an entire episode
It would be sick if you remade like the og pilot like this
it looks sick dude, the face expressions look so good and the spinjtsu looks amazing. Good job 👏
Thanks!
The Spinjitzu could use some more speed when spinning but everything else is beautiful
Thanks for the feedback!
@@citrinesanimations No problem! I'm actually working to do 3d animating in the future.
0:39 voice reveal???????
I love how you did the characters and really enjoyed how you animated characters who had two different designs in the movie and show, like Misako and Nya!
Absolutely love yours a lot! The visuals and animation was absolutely beautiful! It really looks like an official Lego Movie!
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Except this is a Ninjago Sequel where Lloyd is more than just a Green Ninja,he’s the Ninja Master of all Elements.
Despite Lloyd was classified as a Official Lego Racer.
This guy could remake ninjago if he had a big team
This animation style would be amazing in the new show
Oh didn’t think of that!
This was absolutely spectacular. The tornado design was really unique and I liked it a lot. The movie hoods on the kimonos was a clever design too.
I would like to think the movie is in an alternate reality
As an ultra ninjago fan and watched all seasons 3 times in a row i gotta say thank you the movie is a let down and will be forgotten forever I really thank you for this
I’m sad ninjago got cancelled man,brung so many good times in my life when it would come on cartoon network

its not cancelled. the show's been running for 11 years and doesn't seem to be stopping soon.

So it was a lie it was being cancelled?I saw some internet foolery a bit back that it was being cancelled,but it makes me happy to know it isnt
It's not cancelled, the main current show just ended with a new one next year
Can you make a video like this with the final battle in march of the oni and also crystallised
I love ninjago and when I heard they were gonna make a movie I was excited me and my friends went to see it because we were all obsessed with ninjago and we were not disappointed I still love the movie for what they did at the time.

The first animation is INCREDIBLE, if it had more stone warriors it would have been perfect, but it looks great.
amazing editing,amazing animation,amazing pacing?? u are killing it!!
Thanks! I worked hard on this one!
The second clip almost seems a little too animated for lego movie standards, which is great and makes it so much smoother
Not what I had in mind from the title, I was disappointed at first but these clips are so good it makes up for it.
Good job
Haha glad to hear it
seeing ninjago so differently like this gave me chills, it's crazy
I love ninjago and as a long time fan of the series seeing this really brought back memories
Glad to hear it
