This AU is called Hollyfawn! After Hollykit and her brothers were brought to Thunderclan, Leafpool and Squirrelflight received a prophecy that each of them would gain powers. They were warned that Sol would exploit Hollyleaf’s plant powers. So to protect Hollyleaf from Sol, Squirrelflight and Leafpool reluctantly decide to keep Hollyleaf’s powers and involvement in the prophecy a secret. Despite Hollyleaf's desire to become a healer, Leafpool forbids Hollyleaf from becoming her apprentice. Unfortunately, their attempt to protect her caused Hollyleaf to grow distant from her family, leading her right to Sol. Hollyleaf confronts what has been barricading her potential from growing the only way she knows how.

I LOVE YOU HOLLYFAWN!!!
I’m seconding this, aswell as requesting a personal Hollyfawn and Fallen Leaves autograph. Now, before the FBI comes and arrests us.
Oh dam isn’t this the person who hosted the Lanternleaves map??
I WANNA GO OUTSIDREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE (1 second after hollyfawn goes outside *gets attacked by deer*)
also dont ask why i said this.
YESSSSS!!
Literally does not sleep until this wonderful MAP releases
FRR
I like how through the whole map, Leafpool has been antagonizing Hollyleaf, because everything we is from Hollyleaf's persepctive. But as soon as she regrets killing Leafpool, she remembers the happy memories they had together, and she feels guilty of what she did. It shows Hollyleaf could only think of how harsh Leafpool was as the cat who refused to be her mentor, but forgot of how kind and caring she was as an aunt. And the prophecy Leafpool and Squirrelflight were preventing this whole time comes true, and Sol gets what he wanted
I agree, but Leafpool also handled this situation very badly. She kept Hollyleaf's powers and involvment in propecy a secret from her and the rest of the clan, and was so paranoid that she attacked her when she was trying to save sandstorm's life. It must have resulted in Hollyleaf holding a huge gruge towards her, 'cause she didn't even want to mourn Sandstorm together with her. Sol was a person who finally told her about the propecy and what are the powers she now sudenly started having, but used it to manipulate her which could have been prevented by simply taking her to the side and explaining all of this to her, when she was made a warrior. Hollyleaf is an adult, she deserves to know. No wonder she was mad at Leafpool, and Sol used that anger to his own advantage...
@@hpforever3563 I would say Leaf and Holly were on the same boat, since both of them made irracional decisions based on what they are feeling on the moment. But since it's from Hollyleaf's persepctive, we are all on Holly's side even tho her actions were worse then Leafpool's. Also, the fact that she was in the right until the very end while Leaf make mistakes through the whole thing helps a lot for us to feel sympathy for her even tho she messes up *badly*

You have to understand, holly grew up as a little kid ridiculed for her interests for unknown reasons..leaf always shoved her away and told her to not pursue her dream, she crushed holly's dream as a little kid and continuously shoved her away for what she liked and wanted to do. Holly felt alien in her own clan because no one understood how she felt and she was never told why she harshly put down by everyone. If no one in her clan would support her she went outside towards Sol, leaf drove her away. When sandstorm was literally dying she attacked holly, which obviously was an overreaction but when you think of holly's perspective she doesn't understand why and leaf comes off really cruel for it..especially when you think about how holly could of SAVED sandstorm, leaf gatekeeping her from that had to of hurt even more because in her eyes leaf killed sand by not letting her heal her.
Holly feels bad for killing leaf because she killed someone, she was furious and her emotions led her..once she calmed down and had more sense of course she regretted it, she didn't like leaf but killing her was too far and she knows that. It's like when you yell at someone and call them horrible things in the moment but feel bad after once you gain some sense, except holly did more than just yell which is why her guilt is even stronger.
It's nothing to do with "holly only saw her for not wanting to be her mentor not for how kind she was" it was leaf shoving her away and drowning out her dreams and interests for unknown reasons because of secrets her and squirrelflight were holding. She was hurting holly..it's like seeing your niece drawings so you run over and rip up the drawing telling them to never do it again, it's mean and continuously putting them down via telling them they'll never be what they want is horribly damaging on a child and will end in resentment for valid reasons.
I like to think the vines at the end ensnaring Hollyleaf are her own doing. Clearly she's feeling intense guilt for killing Leafpool, and unless the mysterious cats in the portal are manipulating her power, the vines are literally rooting her in place with shame and remorse. Making her face the musi of what she's done.
I think the mystery cats are meant to be the dark forest
they are. her paws are glowing
@@greek_geek6306 could be but i doubt it. sol doesn't believe in starclan or the dark forest so why would he go searching for them (they also can't reach out to cats who don't believe in them but i suppose these could be changed for this au)
plus i just feel like plotlines where everything has to involve cat hell in some way are just kinda tired, but that's just me.
@@ascendedcat260 This is an au tho, Sol could perfectly believe in the dark forest since all of this is non-canon
@@yay29823 yea i said that
The fact that the deer’s antlers were duller at the tips whereas Holly’s were sharper shows how she meant harm towards leaf pool while leaf never wanted to hurt Holly.
Wow! I didn’t notice that!
That’s such a good detail omg
Oh my gosh
I didn't think of it that way! I thought it more like she made her own own antlers using her powers, but they looked like eclipses because she was under Sol's influence
@@crimsonfied5329 omg
Its such a small, SMALL little detail, but during the scene where Leafpool pins Holly down, you can see Leafs shadow jump a bit when Hollyleaf turns back to her looking aggressive; as if she doesn't expect Holly to resent her. And she doesn't. Because in her eyes, shes just trying to prevent the prophecy. She's just trying to help. In her eyes, she doesnt expect Holly to be angry, because she expects her to understand.
How can Hollyfawn understand what she’s never been told.
@@kittyyoutuber9 she cant, but the point is Leafpool doesn't connect those dots. she just expects Holly to understand that she's trying to do what she thinks is best for her.
3:13 disobeying her parents and finding sol unlocking holly's earth pony magic is awesome
Pony magic lmao
EARTH PONY MAGIC HELP LMAO
E a r t h p o n y m a g i c
Yes my fave part is when Holly notices its all in her head.
.....OR IS IT.
LOL
I have a small headcanon about Sandstorm in this. She was there when Hollyleaf first asked to be a healer. She was proud as could be. I'm sure she did not understand why leafpool said no, and probably tried to advocate for Hollyleaf as a healer. She encouraged her to do what she loved: healing. Maybe even helped her with the secret garden. She was hollyleaf's biggest supporter, and when she was nearly killed, denied a chance to save her life, that's what broke her. Leafpool had never supported her. Sandstorm always had. And now she's dead.
This better become canon or I'm gonna cry
I love supportive grandmas. I hope Sandstorm will rest in peace now
RIGHT
I'm so sad because she could have saved Sandstorm
Oh that was sandstorm who died?? I thought it was Honeyfern cause she was bitten by a snake in the books… 🙃 woops lol
It still amazes me that an entire community of people took a book about some feral cats and made a bunch of Disney-like short films for it. So many talented animators, good work everyone 👏👏
Agreed! This is one of my favorite maps from the serpent sol series! The song selection is perfect and you can just feel the emotion in each part.
Agree
Seeing Hollyfawn’s glare to Leafpool when she breaks her antlers is so sad. She looks so hurt, but also angry. The animator did a great job for that, and so did everyone in this MAP!
Edit: HOLLY _955-_
(Thx Ratzen lol)
0:56 Windows seven rotated logo
@🌅 sunset 🌅 As far as I know, her part of the prophecy is that Hollyfawn’s power would be effected by Sol, which is why Leafpool and Squirrelflight seem to act like and tell her, that she doesn’t have an power.
When Sol attacks and Sandstorm dies, Squirrelflight’s and Leafpool’s mother, Leafpool probably was thinking that she had something to do with it. Part of it probably with just mere shock from everything that happened.
SHOULDA DONE ‘HOLLY’ INSTEAD OF ‘HOLY’
@@Atticus_drawings Yours is probably right but I interpreted like leafpool did it to stop her from using her powers and risking anything (just my interpretation)
@@SparkclawStudios That makes sense, we all do know that Hollyfawn didn’t take it lightly though lol
"I want to be a healer and help save my clan!"

Leaf pool in a nutshell ngl 😂
Imagine being a human in these universes. Like imagine your walking around going about about your business and you see cats turn into snakes, possess each other, turn into lions, can make duplicates of themselves, are pirates, turn into weird deer thingys, and now open a portal to the shadow realm to bring back demons into the world and destroy life as we know it.
That’s wack man.
If the ccu took place irl in ohio, I would move there
Portal to the shadow realm 💀
That’s just a normal day in Ohio
Unless humans don’t even exist in this timeline
@@StoleYourClothesInYourCloset in Hawkstorm theres was an amount of human-made objects, such as the fox-trap , the house where Tadpolekit died and some higlights where Tawnykit (Hawkstorm) encounters Tadpolekit ghost, so yeah theres humans in this universe
Not to mention the house in Serpent Sol, the fox trap that killed Hawkfrost in Bramblefur, the boat Float On of Scourge and the mine and rails in Cowboy Mapleshade
id do a double take to make sure i wasn’t high or smth
2:55 I love how shes holding a purple hyacinth, which symbolizes sorrow, or "please forgive me". great foreshadowing for the afterscene!
I'm the animator for this oart and not even I caught that! Thank you for sharing, I definitely love the symbolism

Hyacints are actyally deadly poisonous to cats 😳😳
I JUST REALIZED THIS- Leafpool has yellow eyes and Squilf has green... The deer has one yellow eye and one green... At the end it's revealed that the deer was Leafpool... The two different eyes symbolizes her rage for *both* of them as she fights with it (mostly Leafpool though since the deer's fur also looks like hers)!
Wow! Good eye!
Nice catch!
All this time I thought it was the green star and yellow star, then Leaf and Sol, but now that makes even more better sense here! Squirrelflight had that tone of green in her eyes, and she took part in cutting Holly out! Thanks for pointing this out!
When I caught this comment I was just at that part, noticing the eye effect! My StarClan! Its so interesting that you caught that little, nearly unnoticeable detail!
OMG I ALSO REALIZED THAT TOO LOL
I am soooooooooo impressed with how far the Warrior Cats fandom has improved in creativity, animation, design, and story writing. I have been in the fandom for almost 10 years now and it’s freaking mind blowing to see these talented artists coming up with new ideas to keep the fandom fresh and exciting. You are incredibly gifted Cheeteh, and all who join in to create these masterpieces!! Well done y’all.
I pray Erin Hunter finds these!!!
The animations are the reason why I'm still in the Fandom to some degree xD
@@jolie1175 erin hunter not a real person she is a whole team of people but yeah :)
Agreed!!! It's amazing.
I am so amazed how WC fandom went from edgy pixely animations(well that was the best animation program) with emo haircuts, to these beautiful pieces of creativity
The whole time Leafpool was scared of Hollyleaf falling into the prophecy so she wanted to protect her by saying no to her becoming a healer, but little did she know, this would cause her to fall right into the prophecy’s grasp..
The remourse, the anguish and emotion in Leafpool’s eyes when she realizes her mistake and that it’s too late is so heartbreaking. It’s so sad that Hollyleaf was blinded, she was just so hurt.
Hold up, so why didn't she wipe away Lionblaze's and Jayfeather's stars if she was worried about the prophecy??
@@cringeworthy4755 because only Hollyfawn’s powers would be exploited
It’s a classic Greek tragedy-trying to fight fate only brings it about!
All prophecies are self fulfilling
I love that the warrior cats Fandom fills in the plot holes the Erin's left. Sol opening the gate to the dark forest using a sacrifice makes so much more sense than what actually happened
For some reason I didn’t put two and two together for the storyboard, so Holly killing the deer and it turning out to be Leafpool left me so shocked. Everyone did absolutely wonderful with this :D
same
Wait the deer is Leafpool? I didn’t even know Hollyleaf killed Leafpool 💀 I haven’t gotten that far in Warriors.
@SmokeyPika well she tried to kill leaf in the books but backed out
@SmokeyPika not to sound rude,, but what do you think 'back out' means? /lh I know she didn't actually kill leafpool;;
@SmokeyPika no worries! I understand
In this national Holly-day, we as people gather around the world at Holly-dawn as we are Holly-drawn to the greatness of Hollyfawn. You either are Holly-fond of Hollyfawn or you Holly-fall-in-love with Hollyfawn. It's a shame this wasn't on Holly-ween, but today IS Holly-ween, because we love no one else but Hollyfawn.
*Pun intended.*

Thank you, it m-adders to me ;D🐍
I love how at 0:29 when Leafpool gets the message from starclan the 3 star like shapes are reflected in Leafpool’s and Squirrelflight’s eyes but only the green one is reflected in Hollyleafs eyes. This map is so good, I love all those little details put into it.
same!
Making us wait two days for this masterpiece is a cruel twist of fate.
It was worth it though
Much like that ending.
Two days? I think it was closer to two months

Lovely work by all the artists
I absolutely cant wait, I feel like the people who partipate in your maps have the strongest work ethic of any animation youtuber, because your maps, usually containing dozens and even 100+ parts get finished in record breaking time yet have such a high quality. Such an impressive feat.
100% agreed!!
They also bring out tons of underrated animators!
@@BitterCyder true!
I love the look on leafpool at 5:59. She seems like she’s stressed, conflicted and upset before she decides to fight back.
I love that part because of that.
NO WAY THIS ACTUALLY IS FINISHED. I know that everyone, everyone, everyone did a really good job! I love the thumbnail, love the concept, and love the originality! I hope that everyone had fun! Also, I’m starting to animate. I don’t animate very good, but I’ll be up for any map call!! Keep the work up, and hope in the future we get even more detailed maps!! ❤❤❤

💕💕💕 Thankee 🥺
@@Techyena great job on the snake like touch!!
That was beautiful, I don't think there are enough words that I could possibly string together to describe it all. I love the parallels between Hollyleaf as the deer in the beginning and end being strangled by the snake/vines, like that was her destiny to die. I'm guessing that's why Leafpool and Squirrelflight didn't want her to become a healer in an attempt to stop that from happening? And Hollyleaf's beginning antlers appearing as if made of sticks that she made herself compared to antlers like Leafpool's? Not to mention the scene with the deer protecting the birds, squirrel, and flower, each animal corresponding with someone she wanted to protect and she sees Leafpool as the brown deer seeking to destroy what she loves. I love the change from Hollyleaf growing flowers with her power to growing death berries after killing Leafpool too. I want to write an essay on this instead of doing my actual assignments.
5:37 is definitely my favorite part
The transformation the fight the emotions everything is just *MAGNIFICENT*
I love how all the old characters from previous animations are here! Its so cool
IT CAME OUT ABSOLUTELY AMAZINGG!! Cheet never failing to amaze us all with a fabulous project ❤❤❤ so major proud of everyone that worked on our beloved hollyfawn look at them battle kitties go!!

I haven't seen it yet but I just KNOW it's going to be spectacular! Every artist who has participated have been so talented and I'm so glad everyone had pushed out such amazing pieces in time
I'll write my thoughts on the map once it actually premieres, but I'm super excited!
Can't wait to see it! and I'll be looking forward to hopefully making it into the next project in this awesome story of cats you've made with so many other talented people!
5:10-5:22 I love this scene, it represents the members with their respective animals and the deer representing her as if she were protecting them, however, the deer representing Leafpool ends up "killing" the deer that represented her as a sign of when she did not accept being her mentor . Or is it that way that I see it ( I speak spanish so if something is misspelled forgive me)
Honestly one of the most cinematic MAPs ever! All the animators and helpers deserve a round of applause
This MAP has a Studio Ghibli feel to it and that makes me so happy! Like it’s so mystical and the art style for every participant and the graphics just make it stand out. It feels like a passion project, like a movie even! Such a shame that the books aren’t like this. This is so compelling.
I love the fact that in a few of the scenes with the deer, it's markings are diamonds like the markings on the wall, it's almost like the deer is representing the Prophecy and because of the fact that the deer had destroyed her kind of little magical area, its like how Leafpool acted like she couldn't be a healer because of the Prophecy. Love this video, the song matches perfectly! Edit: Ty so much for 40 likes!
When I tell you I’ve been looking forward to this project for months? That was an understatement. Although lately the Warrior Cats franchise has been dull in its regards to delivering good products, these projects have brought this splash of life to the community that we’ve all needed. Everything here is GORGEOUS, from the character and set design, to the storytelling direction, to the hours of work animators spent putting into this project. I’m so proud of everyone here, as everyone involved has beyond fantastical skill and makes me excited for what they have to offer in the future. Seeing my thumbnail in the honorable mentions actually made me scream at the top of my lungs. Hollyfawn is a masterpiece, and I couldn’t stress that sentiment more. Incredible. Absolutely incredible.
Honestly I think most of us are still in the fandom for what other talented fans do. The fandom’s basically self sustaining.
this is probably the best warriors map in terms pf storytelling and character design. hell, im not even in the warriors fandom and i could tell what was happening without reading any script. all the designs are recognizable, theres no confusion between whos who
Loved when we saw Ashfur is still possessing Bramblestar in this

AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE
Did anyone else notice Bramblefur at 4:06?
I did
h u h WAIT WHAT
I also did
He's angry
I did :)
I was rewatching this a lot, and all I can really think is how much of a waste this whole situation was. If Leafpool hadn't refused to communicate with Holly, if Squirrelflight had explained about Sol, even if Holly had just been able to show her powers and save sandstorm, none of this would have spiraled so far out of control, and the clan would have the best healer who ever lived. But leafpool was scared, so here we are
When hollyleaf asks Leafpool to become a medicine cat, you can see Leafpool looks hesitant to reject her, but as soon as she looks at squirrelflight it’s only then she actually says no. She was only doing what squirrielflight told her to do. Hollyleaf doesn’t see squirrel flight because she’s so fixated on leafpools answer and the animators make it pretty clear. when Leafpool walks out it’s when squirrelflight comforts her. That’s why she sees Leafpool and the villain as opposed to squirrelflight. It’s much like what they did in the books but reversed. The three hate squilf more than they hate leaf when in reality she was to blame in the first place.
I like how this story somehow manages to make hollyleaf sympathetic for her actions while still acknowledging how she was in the wrong. Of course leafpool didnt make _great_ decisions and hollyleaf was being manipulated by sol but it was still selfish of her to take her anger out on leafpool. Hollyleaf realising that killing leafpool wasnt the right choice is one of the most interesting parts of this. Might just be me though, otherwise super excited to see any potential follow ups to this!
I watched this on the TV with my uncle and later on my phone with my aunt, and both of them asked "What movie is this? " lmao. anyways, good map and everyone did a great job!!
man now I wanna show this to my family but they say my fixations are weird *sobs*
I love how at the end, where the peaceful scene that Hollyleaf enjoys gets ruined by a deer, symbolizes Leafpool crashing through and destroying her peace and potential.
Very well drawn!!
What an incredible map. So floored by the amount of talent, skill, and hard work and love that got poured into telling this story - it was such a treat to watch from start to finish, and I am so, so honored that I got to work alongside all these incredible artists to make it happen

i loved that part too 😻
6:17 HOLY- THAT SCENE
We need a moment to appreciate how amazing this map is, especially from 5:07 onwards
The moments of Holly locking horns with the deer is just so well animated!
GAH it's been so quick!! I can tell this is going to be such an inspirational MAP for the warrior cats community because all the animators are just outstanding and fab! Well done to everyone, to Cheeteh, the participants, and even those who made animation memes on this! And well done, Hollyfawn
No one talk about how the Deer hesitated for a moment, then finally decided to speed up and fight
5:59
BRO THAT FIGHT SCENE LOOKS LIKE IT CAME RIGHT OUT OF A OFFICIAL SHOW OR ANIME LIKE ITS ACTUALLY SO GOOD, EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED IS AWESOME!
This was such an amazing map! Everyone did so amazing! I can’t believe how beautiful it is! The red rose as blood, the deer representing everything Holly wanted to be and Leafpool destroying it- I’m just out of words. Y’all did amazing. Everyone out there have a wonderful day.

Hollyfawn never gave up during this- even after the hardship of the other healer, she never gave up to achieve their dreams

@@simply_good_edits20160 I think they were talking about Holly'fawn and the vines (Ik the comment is old lol)
this genuinely has to be one of the most beautiful and well-made maps ive ever seen. i genuinely teared up at parts. not only is the story just fantastic, but all of the animators brought it to life so beautifully. the emotion in this map is just outstanding. excellent work as always cheetah z, we're all excited to see what you have planned for the future!
I CANNOT DESCRIBE HOW AWESOME THIS MAP CAME OUT! the storytelling in this map is literally better than some of the storytelling in the actual books lol hollyleaf's arc here is just so compelling, not to mention the designs and symbolism are AMAZING!! I got such chills from watching this, it was a honor to have been able to be a part of this project!! everyone did such a wonderful job
I love how u made JayFeather/Wing fit in! He can really only travel dreams but I love how u let him shove multiple of himself when fighting the deer! 1:28
THIS IS PHENOMENALLLL. The scripting and concept and the way it embodies the emotional core of Hollyleaf's character is so compelling, it feels like these new dynamics and contexts are bringing a life out of them that the books didn't always manage. Hollyleaf's also a massive fav of mine so it's thrilling to see such an emotionally complex take on her. Everyone went so genuinely crazy on executing it, it's so so cinematic. The fight scene has me in a DEATHGRIP. I feel like your maps and scripts give so much opportunity for people to just flex their creative and technical muscles and it's constantly so cool to watch. I wish I could print this video out and put it on my wall forever.
Leafpool: Knocking Hollyleaf down so her sticks fall off
Hollyleaf: "And i took that personal"
The prophecy was trying to say to keep an eye on Holly to make sure she wouldn't be manipulated by sol for her powers lest they consume her, however by deciding to deny to probably even themselves that she even had that destiny much less her powers only caused her to be and feel more isolated and got pushed directly into her fate instead of away, I also love how we see this from Holly's perspective mostly we do see portions of others! At least after the first part, in her perspective the people around her are uncaring about her, including her siblings who we see give her wierd looks when she hunts with them (except maybe her mom) not showing the good and care they gave her, to the point that during her fight with Leafpool she doesnt see her as her aunt, she sees her as an aggressive destructive deer keeping her from her (what she thinks) amazing destiny like her siblings got, however at the end when she's killed her aunt we see portions of what her aunt actually was to her and she's held down by the manifestation of her guilt, beautiful work!
i really like this analysis I think you nailed it!
6:10 This was STUNNING, I love it so much. ; ; Everyone did an amazing job, this is amazing!! AND OMG, that ending gave me chills! I love all of this so much, this is such an amazing AU!! Sol fits so perfectly as a serpent monster. I love this!!
If any of the animators in this part are looking, CONGRATS! YOUR GOIN TO HOLLYWOOD!
4:50 that turn holly leaf does is incredible
She thought Sol's shadow was Leafpool, thats why she was so angry.
Sol is such a Disney Villain here and I love it, especially at 7:40. (Note: I am obsessed with this Map, all the animators and people writing this did amazing)
Isn't Sol the cat? (I don't know warrior cats so well...)
Sol is the calico serpent. (In the original series he is a regular cat)
@@The_VHS ooh okay!
0:36 starclan:one of your kids is going to become a lion,one will be able to become a bird,one will become a deer get strangled to death by a snake. Leafpoll:oh thank starcl-wait what now starclan:good bye nopes out
cheetz, you always put much effort into your projects as you create these beautiful visual stories with true meaning, and you really feel the emotion. it's phenomenal and absolutely outstanding as you create a precious storyline that touches your heart. im very proud of how far you come and all your hard work!! you've added huge memories in this fandom ❤
6:47 is that Leafpool who is dead…!? If so, not only is it spine-chilling, but the way the deer version of Leafpool in that nightmare(?) attacked that peaceful deer really shines a light on how Hollyfawn felt in those moments, being torn away from who she is meant to be/who she is.
Yup-
Well in this story yes- but in the books Leadpool actually doesn’t get killed by her own daughter 🫥
This MAP turned out amazing! Everyone did a awesome job I’m so glad it’s finally here!
I prefer the world that cheetah Z creates in their maps over the cannon world of warriors! it's just so MYSTICAL and EXITING! I get more and more hyped with every story! And I can't wait for more
I love the little detail of how when hollyfawn grows her antlers, hers are sharp and pointy because of what she has become, while on the other hand leaf pools are smooth and rounded.
The fight scene at the end was so gorgeous that I had to watch it in slow-mo to admire every frame 😭 This is one of the best MAPs I've ever seen!
This MAP turned out INSANEEEE, by far one of the best MAPs I’ve EVER seen!! Huge congratulations to everyone who was involved in this, it came out absolutely stunning!!
I’m still SO glad I was given the opportunity to join this project, it was an honor to work on and I’m lookin forward to what comes in the future!
Sometimes I wonder why all of these animators aren’t animating their own tv shows…bc holy crap! They are amazing!
Simply, WOW. I think I'll never find the words to describe how EXTRAORDINARY this was. From the story, the concept, the themes behind it, each amazing person that pushed to make it come alive. Hoster, animators, artists, thanks you!
Absolutely beautiful. I’ve been waiting for this one ever since I came across the original storyboard. The concept behind it, the tie-in to the other projects, I was in love with the idea from the beginning. Hollyleaf always stuck with me, the only sibling with no powers, yet aching so badly to be of service, and to go through the development from adhering almost too strongly to the Code to taking out Ashfur when she felt it needed to be done. I always had a soft spot for her and wondered what would’ve happened if she’d been given a power of her own.
I absolutely adore the deer imagery, as they’re often depicted as soft, gentle creatures, but they’re just as capable of brutality as other animals in nature. I love how expressive Hollyleaf is portrayed too; I feel like I can feel her pain throughout, and her longing to contribute to her Clan and family in the way she feels most meaningful. The song choice is also amazing, this project was how I found this song actually, and I’ve been listening to it nonstop haha
I’m done rambling now lol, everyone did a fantastic job on this one, and it came out beautifully ❤
"Buff serpent Sol doesn't exist he can't hurt you"
Buff serpent Sol:
literally so swag the execution of this map was absolutely fantastic from start to finish! so honored to have helped out!! i'm still so amazed that you managed to make a hollyleaf map without using any of the scenes that are most utilized in hollyleaf projects and instead relied on such a strong emotional core conflict that makes the characters feel so real in their struggles, and the way it's so seamlessly incorporated with the overarching ccu story is just the icing on the cake. absolutely stunning animation by everyone involved and the colors and set designs of this map are truly eye candy! yet another banger. you love to see it
I absolutely love that this is a self fulfilling prophecy. In their attempt to stop the future from happening, it still happened anyways. I've always loved stuff like that. Like in Star Wars there's a big theory discussion of what if Anakin knew about his future would his attempts to stop it worsen things or fix them? Here we see their attempts to stop the future didn't go well. If they had just trained Holly in being a healer, would that have prevented this outcome? Maybe, maybe not.
Fun fact:the deer also has 3 diamonds on its leg
I am so overwhelmed with how beautifully this came together!! Such a fantastic and talented group of animator and artists! I am honored to have participated in this and I’m ecstatic to see what’s to come!
chills. literal chills. the animation quality is sky high, the song choice is perfect, AND THOSE FIGHT SCENES??? This is actually incredible, everyone involved in this should be so proud of the outcome. The storytelling is incredible, and, I’ve seen some others mention it, but the organisation required to complete something like this is such a short period of time?? To such a high quality??? Incredible!!
I know why Hollyleaf was always so mad at Leafpool.
Leafpool never removed that thorn in Holly’s paw 😨
Around 0:23 holly winces implying that leafpool took the thorn out
@@CheetehZ omg ty for thé clarification
Notice how when Leafpool licks her cheek her eyes turn to hearts? She clearly loves leafpool. That’s probably why hollyleaf was so hurt when Leafpool rejected her, but it wasn’t until she let sandy die that hollyleaf truly hated her.
BRO OMG HOW DID I NOT NOTICE THIS😭😭
Okay just want to say; what a phenominal project. The outcome for all of these is always just AMAZING but I especially loved the concept for this MAP since Holly has always been a favourite. I am just super happy to see these projects all come together. The art direction for this project was beautiful too, I still stare at it like omg it's just,,, I'm speechless? I'd honestly live in this MAP it's gorgeous. Tysm Cheet for letting me participate and a big thank you to Cheet, Lettuce and Lou for bringing this whole project together. I always look so forward to all these projects and their outcomes, I constantly lurk in the chats to see wips every day of the week. Everyone who came together to work on this did amazing, everyone is so talented and despite the different art styles and art techniques, everything flows so beautifully that you almost forget you're not watching one continuous movie. I love Hollyfawn, I definitely have to say this and Serpent Sol are a hard 'I can't choose for first place' kind of maps they're all so beautifully done
I CAN DEFINITELY SAY THIS IS NOW MY FAVOURITE MAP OF ALL TIMES! Everyone did such an amazing job and I’m so happy I was able to watch it premiere
Okay-So-has anybody else wondered how Squilf taking all of this?
I mean-
-Her mother is dead
-Her husband is acting off
-Her sister is dead
-Her daughter is presumed dead
And she's just stuck, caught in the middle of it all?
Everyone who worked on this did so good, it's breathtaking. I hope all the participants have a happy hollyween
i have no words this MAP left me speechless. the music entwined with the story is gorgeous and brilliant. the way the characters are designed and written. ive never seen a better way anyone has ever done to Hollyleaf's character. that fight scene gave me legitimate chills. im absolutely astounded by this beautiful piece of animation. bravo to every animator and every person who worked on this. 100/10 map, definitely my favorite ever
Wow that was insane. it was so nice to have Serpent Sol come back. Hollyleaf as a fawn is so cool too. amazing colours here too.
That's what I find amazing, in Serpent Sol, the colors are vivid and varied, here they are darker and bluish.
Wooo
I'm here before the premiere, I'm so excited for see this complete, all the participants made a so incredible work with theirs parts!
I'm not exaggerating when I say this genuinely gave me chills. This is visually stunning- I think this is one of the greatest MAP's the fandom has produced yet.
The fact that at 5:25 the deer looks like a dog, it’s just so cute❤
I have never been this excited about a MAP before!! Everyone’s done so well over the past few weeks to make a gorgeous end result!
I’ve also fallen completely in love with The Family Crest now.
No surprise, but this came out beautifully. I love the palettes of this MAP and Sol’s, they feel so varied and lively, especially with all the flowers. Everyone tied every scene together so nicely, but the climax fight from start to finish is CHILLING! Enjoyable MAP to watch all the way through, everyone should be so proud!!
My favorite part of this that I always come back to is the fact that Holly was trying to go save Sandstorm. She could've saved her if Leafpool didn't tackle her. Leafpool killed her own mother because she was upset. They doomed her from the beginning by not telling her she was special. Sandstorm would still be alive if Holly was able to be the healer she was meant to be.
I CANT WITH THIS GORGEOUS.. I haven’t even seen it yet and I know it’s absolutely BEAUTIFUL. grateful for all the amazing talented animators who dedicated their time to this project!!
i've been keeping suchhh a close eye on this map it's such a beautiful AU and all the artists involved have done such an amazing job so far portraying it 😭💖💞💖 SUPER EXCITED TO SEE IT ALL TOGETHER!!!
my birthday is on the 12th so
I've been in the fandom for many years and I'm gonna be honest this is my new favorite map. The ending fight always gives me chills, you can just tell how much work the artists put into their parts.
Every year the wc fandom exceeds any expectations I have. This community is so talented and it's an honor to see everyones hard work
I remember when the map call for this was first uploaded, and 76 parts were already taken in just four hours- I've been looking at all the thumbnail entries and parts over the last couple of months, and I just gotta say- I think this will turn out to be one of the most legendary warrior cats maps ever!!!!
MMMMM the character designs, map concept, storyboard and everything about this is so amazing. And all of the awesome people who animated the parts have definitely left me inspired. Can't wait to see this premiere in 3 hours from now :)
EDIT: YESSS IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT!!!! This gave me chills, and I loved the run cycle at the credits and the amount of little details left in the animations like at 0:31 , where you can actually see the little diamonds in hollyleaf's, leafpool's and squirrelflight's eyes! The symbolisim with the different animals at 5:11 was also very creative, and I am sure that this won't be my first time watching this map!!!! I just can't put into words how to describe how much I love this AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Thank you cheeteh, and all the awesome people who helped create this masterpiece!!!! I really enjoyed watching the process of it, and I can't wait to see what you guys can create next!!!!!!!! You guys rock!!!!
