Thank you for the 10k views!! This was super fun to make, and I’m glad you all seem to like it! I don’t currently have any animatics in the works atm, but I have some ideas for future ones if I ever get enough free time 😁
I must say: these two look EXACTLY like how I imagine they would be if there were normal boarding school girls. I think Elphaba looks very attractive, especially when she looks so stern and grumpy.
it’s a sign of false allyship from the school because they promote all these positive messages about inclusion yet do nothing about how the actual minority students are treated - i’ve been there (the second school i went to actually fulfilled their promise but the first was exactly like this)
I love how Galinda and Elphaba look so happy before declaring that they loath each other. You took the fact that this was parodying a love song and ran with it.
Basically UST out the preppy strawberry blond arriving by bubblegum bubble & the green waterflower in the sleek black dress astride her charred broomstick. XD
If they wanted them to have a crush on each other, they wouldn't need to change the songs that much if at all because in a lot of the songs like this one and for good, it's kind of obvious.
Honestly, every time I hear this song I think they're singing "loving". I thought for two years that these two girls from the original fell in love with each other.
Galinda: What is this feeling so sudden, and new. Elphaba: I felt the moment, I layed eyes on you. Galinda: My pulse is rushing. Elphaba: my head is reeling. Galinda: my face is flushing! Both: What is this feeling?! Does it have a name??? LOATHING!!! Me: no, no... you guys are just gay.
Growing up is realizing that the feeling they're having isn't "Loathing" it's having a crush, and that the whole song is poking fun at that- and Stephen Schwartz is a real one for that-- also I'm in love with the expressions throughout this, excellent job!!
@@heyo_meyo That's a fair interpretation^ I mainly seem them as queer not just from the musical content but the book content as well, I do really like this interpretation as well though haha
@@aussiethecat What do you refer to you in the book to support that theory? I found Glinda absolutely awful in the book. I mean I liked her character, but she was a complete bitch and Elphaba actually was fairly wicked. Not to mention they don't even interact post-school in the book, making it seem like they were just typical college friends who were largely friends because of proximity, but don't mind drifting apart. In the book, Glinda didn't even interact with Fiyero because of his skin color, so her developing a crush on a conventionally unattractive green girl seems completely unrealistic. I don't interpret them as being gay in the musical either (honestly from all the arguments I've seen I think people are just grasping at straws to make a story about friends into a gay story), but if I had to pick I'd say it comes across more that way in the musical than in the book.
HOLY. SMOKES. I’ve been hoping that one day I could find an animatic that captured the atmosphere of this song, and this is IT. You put so much energy and charm into this - Elphaba wiggling her hat to the beat of the song was adorable. I’ll be following your channel from here on out. Absolutely incredible work here!
Glinda when it comes to describing her roommates: *trying to figure out how to describe her in a good way* Elphaba when it comes to describing her roommate: *goes straight to the point*
Something I’ve noticed with the animation that I dint think anyone’s commenting on! IS HOW GENIUSELY (if that’s a word) THE ARTIST DREW AND MADE GLINDA AND ELPHABA! Elphaba features being more sharp while Glindas are more rounded and cartoony! LIKE ITS PURE GENIUS!
OH. MY. GOSH. It's perfect. The timing, the difference in mannerisms between the two girls, the part where Elphie walks through the crowd singing about hate, the character designs... I mean, I started giggling as soon as I saw Elphaba's handwriting. And oh, you got that subtext at the very beginning so perfectly. I wanted to scream JUST KISS!
I love the sliding down the railing at 2:56, it's just great This animatic is severely underappreciated, and I'm so happy to see people making Wicked content so long after it was released because I absolutely adore the musical. The energy is just all perfect here, Glinda is dramatic, Elphaba is just done, it's amazing. Also, out of curiosity, what programs did you use to make this? I've been trying to make an animatic as put-together as this one, but I'm not certain where to start, lol
This is fantastic! I love the expressions, the smoothness of the movements and little details of characterization in the body language, like Galinda twirling her quill as she tries to not just insult Elphaba in her writing. And the Shiz banner proclaiming everyone is welcome while Elphaba is being blatantly, shamelessly and absolutely ostracised. You match the tone and rhythm of the song perfectly.
Further proof that Wicked should be an animated movie! Also it would be funny if at the end of the song Glinda walks away from Elphaba and near a fountain lake. Then Elphaba pops up in front of her and says “Boo,” causing Glinda to scream, trip and fall into the fountain lake, with a huge splash engulfing the shot. This transitions to the next scene in Dr. Dillamond’s classroom with a shot of an embarrassed/horrified wet Glinda sitting at her desk who glares at Elphaba from across the classroom.
Actually, there’s some concept art for an animated film version of Wicked made by a Disney animator back in late 2013, but in never got passed drawing board especially after Universal bought the film rights to turn it into the two part movie we have today. Yes, I know Part 2 does not come out until next year, but you know what I mean. And the crazy about this is that it is very similar to the late 1930s when Walt Disney wanted to make The Wizard of Oz his second animated feature after Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, but didn’t got the chance to when MGM got the film rights and turned into the 1939 classic.
This is the most professional looking amateur animatic I have ever seen. It looks like something straight out of the “behind the scenes” section of a DVD. If Wicked is ever made into an animated movie, I sure hope they can get Kristin Chenoweth and Idena Menzel to star.
Okokok so I have this thing where I don't wanna get too invested in a musical's songs before I can see it (with the exception of sung through musicals), but living where I do it's expensive to go see things live. So, obviously, I was excited for the movie to come out and now I'm just. So hyped. This animatic is great and I want more but im nervous to get too into the fandom before the second part comes out
This was so so so gooood!!! The shots are so diverse, the camera movements and the characterization adds so much. Everything that happens feels clear, you use light and shadows to show distance, and it's all just really smart and lively. :D
I love how the drawings and staging look so professional and well made. The characters are also super expressive, and you did a perfect job of capturing the subtle romantic themes throughout the song. Seriously, excellent work!!! 😊 Also, Glinda sliding to the glissando at 2:56 was a *very* nice touch!
Oh my goodness this was absolutely brilliant!! Every moment was perfect, the characterisation and expressions and timing with the music - incredible work!!!
This has got to be one of the best storyboards for this song that I’ve ever seen. Like, the placement, the pacing, to the designs and capturing their personalities. This is A1 storyboard animation right here.
OOOOOOHHH... Stars, you have an AMAZING eye for character, detail and framing!!! :3 Things like the pan out from the school, Galinda's effect in the line "these things are meant to try us", the slide down the handrail, how Elphaba hunches her shoulders as the crowd bares on - your grasp and articulation of these characters, the medium, and what you can do with them both is STELLAR, and I'm incredibly glad I ever thought to click on this video. Thank you so much for making it!!!!
i love how you draw them, you perfectly capture the nature of the song and their character "voices" so to speak are shown quite distinctively. great work!
Yo, I've seen a lot of animated for this song and I got to say, This is the best version yet and I'm not joking. Amazing work. (Why are you seriously underrated??)
Maybe I’m reading too much into this. But I do like how Glinda is drawn a bit more cartoony in proportions in comparison to Elphaba. Like Glinda is more outwardly expressive of that impossible standard she wishes to be.
OK I know this came out years ago but I'm literally in awe of the amount of frames in this animatic. The amount of effort you put into this is astonishing, you deserve more views. 👏
I don't think I can say anything about this animatic that has been already said about it, it's just that good, and boy am I glad I stumbled upon it. I truly hope you make more of these animatics for Wicked and other musicals. I would love to see your rendition of Defying Gravity.
Sometimes you watch an animatic and you can tell in the first ten seconds that it's gonna be ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR. Your character designs are fucking _perfect_ (Glida so smol :o ). And then you follow it up with that hilarious blanket toss? Elphaba is _done_ with her roommate, haha. My favourite moment is probably Glinda's little smirk after "These things are sent to try us". Much smug.
You’re going places dude. 😌✨👌🏻 Guess who is gonna rewatch the entire freaking musical tonight?~~. 7w7 Love the little blushes you gave to both characters uwu
This is beautiful!!! I love how you drew them! You really captured their characters! Their shapes, mannerisms, and overall design really suit the voices and their characters!
THE CREATORS OF THE SONG KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING THEY KNEW IT EVERY TIME I WATCH IT ITS LOATHING CSNT IT JUST BE HATEING??LAOTH IS SO CLOSE TO LOVE!!
Thank you for the 10k views!!
This was super fun to make, and I’m glad you all seem to like it!
I don’t currently have any animatics in the works atm, but I have some ideas for future ones if I ever get enough free time 😁
Its extremely underrated
Make more of. Wicked!!!
Can you please make DG and Popular? Because this style is so amazing!!😄
I must say: these two look EXACTLY like how I imagine they would be if there were normal boarding school girls. I think Elphaba looks very attractive, especially when she looks so stern and grumpy.
Hello hmm
the banner of "all are welcome here" shown while all the students are loudly singing about how much they hate Elphaba is just genius
Highschool is its own brand of hypocrisy once in a while
Why?
it’s a sign of false allyship from the school because they promote all these positive messages about inclusion yet do nothing about how the actual minority students are treated - i’ve been there (the second school i went to actually fulfilled their promise but the first was exactly like this)
Boi @@fictionverse7292
Glinda describing Alphy: it's complicated
Alphy describing Glinda: BLONDE!!
Blonde
Elphy looks like a teacher
her name is spelt elphie!! i read the book
She says it with such a deadpan expression
It’s “Elphie”
😂
Nonetheless I love this part of the movie
It’s so entertaining and funny
I love how Galinda and Elphaba look so happy before declaring that they loath each other. You took the fact that this was parodying a love song and ran with it.
It's the smallest thing, but I absolutely adore Elphaba adjusting her hat in time to the music.
Me too! 😭
Probably the best little part XD
it's awesome
Ah yes, because pulse rushing+face flushing+head reeling definitely equals "Loathing" 😉😏👌
Basically UST out the preppy strawberry blond arriving by bubblegum bubble & the green waterflower in the sleek black dress astride her charred broomstick. XD
It’s so pure, so strong! 😍
Totally

Honestly, every time I hear this song I think they're singing "loving". I thought for two years that these two girls from the original fell in love with each other.
I love how at first you're like "Oh it's a love song" and then They're like "I hatw you"
It's honestly a crime of Humanity that this is very underrated.
Honestly I come beck to this video periodically, just to check how many more views it gets
love everything about this animatic very much but having Galinda slide down the stair rail at 2:56 in time with the piano was genius!
Galinda: What is this feeling so sudden, and new.
Elphaba: I felt the moment, I layed eyes on you.
Galinda: My pulse is rushing.
Elphaba: my head is reeling.
Galinda: my face is flushing!
Both: What is this feeling?! Does it have a name??? LOATHING!!!
Me: no, no... you guys are just gay.
yuP
Or because of Fiyero, bi. But Fiyero can step aside.
And they were roomates
@@earthbacon9862 Oh my god they were roommates
Lol
Growing up is realizing that the feeling they're having isn't "Loathing" it's having a crush, and that the whole song is poking fun at that- and Stephen Schwartz is a real one for that-- also I'm in love with the expressions throughout this, excellent job!!
I just thought it was just meant to be poking fun at love songs in musicals. That they actually do hate each other and the whole song is a joke

The idea of Glinda being the shortest compared to Elphaba is too perfect! Short queen Glinda is so real! ^w^
Plus it matches Kristin Chenoweth's and Idina Menzel's height dynamic as well
@ yes very much so lol
when their expressions shifted at the first "loathing" i absolutely lost my mind askfdjbfa
HOLY. SMOKES. I’ve been hoping that one day I could find an animatic that captured the atmosphere of this song, and this is IT.

Elphaba: 😑😒 oh give me a break
Glinda when it comes to describing her roommates: *trying to figure out how to describe her in a good way*
Elphaba when it comes to describing her roommate: *goes straight to the point*
I love that Elphaba got the last laugh in that number.
It's so amazing that Elphaba can just write in perfect Times New Roman font.
Times New Ozzian
Critics: "Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe..."
Me: "Awesome." 😎
Something I’ve noticed with the animation that I dint think anyone’s commenting on! IS HOW GENIUSELY (if that’s a word) THE ARTIST DREW AND MADE GLINDA AND ELPHABA! Elphaba features being more sharp while Glindas are more rounded and cartoony! LIKE ITS PURE GENIUS!

And oh, you got that subtext at the very beginning so perfectly. I wanted to scream JUST KISS!
The artstyle is so cute! Great job!!!
I love the sliding down the railing at 2:56, it's just great
This animatic is severely underappreciated, and I'm so happy to see people making Wicked content so long after it was released because I absolutely adore the musical. The energy is just all perfect here, Glinda is dramatic, Elphaba is just done, it's amazing.

Thank you!
I just used photoshop to make this. (but there’s probably better options out there for animatics tbh, I’m just used to this. 😁)
This is fantastic! I love the expressions, the smoothness of the movements and little details of characterization in the body language, like Galinda twirling her quill as she tries to not just insult Elphaba in her writing.

“Oh they love each other!”
“Oh they hate each other”
Okokok so I have this thing where I don't wanna get too invested in a musical's songs before I can see it (with the exception of sung through musicals), but living where I do it's expensive to go see things live.

2:56 The thing you did there with the piano is just brilliant. This animatic has a lot of great little details in general, I love it ❤

this is so beautifully choreographed

i love how you draw them, you perfectly capture the nature of the song and their character "voices" so to speak are shown quite distinctively. great work!
2:55 to 3:02 is 100% my favourite bit. Nothing to add I just love this
DUDE THE CHARACTER ACTING IN THIS IS IMPECCABLE!
Holy underrated- this is amazinggg and adorable and- AGHH
I would love to see an animated movie of wicked that looks like this
Agreed. Perfect timing on the coming wicked movie! I’d love for something similar to this as well… ✨
Spoiler: A movie is happening but in live action 🤭
YOU ARE SO CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED OMG- THIS ANIMATIC IS SO EXPRESSIVE I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO DESCRIBE HOW BEAUTIFUL IS THIS
this is so great!!! i adore the art style, it's so adorable! good job, i'd love to see more wicked animatics from you!!!
The art style is great, and I absolutely love all of the little details you put in for each character. Great animatic.
This is amazing!!!! I love everything about it, it's absolutely perfect for this song :) Nice job!
I ✨LOVE✨ both your designs of Elphaba and Glinda!
1:12 is my favorite part. Just the whole build up is captured so well!
this song is my absolute favorite song in the entire musical, and this really captured it's feeling.
Yo, I've seen a lot of animated for this song and I got to say, This is the best version yet and I'm not joking. Amazing work. (Why are you seriously underrated??)
It's funny how close you ended up being to the movie in the beginning!
HOW is this so underrated! I love it!
i really love the energy in this!!
*ＢＬＯＮＤＥ*
This is criminally underrated I swear
This is SO EPIC! the camera pans and expressions are just so good! And the art style is absolutely adorable!
THIS IS SO AMAZING! You're so talented, this is so awesome

I’ve seen several animations of this song. Yours is one of the best. So expressive! I hope to see more from you.
I adore it so much
I hope the algorithm picks this up so more people can see this ♡
This is one heck of a good animatic! Well done!
Such an incredible video. Every bit of it is perfectly and cleverly crafted to match the lyrics it's genius.
this is so smooth and wonderful to watch !!
Anyone who claims Galinda isn’t the most adorable design ever conceived of by the human mind is a liar.
yea this is one of the best animatics i've ever seen ever it feels like a storyboard for an actual animated movie
This is a very fantastic animatic video, let’s just say….I love it all, please make more it’s very good 👍 good job on your work.
Just kiss already
Ikr
I love in the end end when the trumpets sound like two blasts then saying all is welcome here😂😂😂❤❤❤
I love how they say they will hate eachother for ever and the like 2 or 3 songs later they're best friends
Hahaaa XDDD srsly tho- 😂😂😂
oh my gosh, this deserves so much more love!! this is lovely!!
0:38 ... BLONDE.
Sometimes you watch an animatic and you can tell in the first ten seconds that it's gonna be ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR.

My favourite moment is probably Glinda's little smirk after "These things are sent to try us". Much smug.
bro this is so good esp the part where galinda is like..w ell... THESE THINGS R SENT TO TRY US. really like that bit!!
Especially Elphaba's reaction. The way she say's "You can not be serious," with her face, and then just stomps off.
I adore this! This is so well made. I'm surprised it's so underrated.
You’re going places dude. 😌✨👌🏻
Guess who is gonna rewatch the entire freaking musical tonight?~~. 7w7
Love the little blushes you gave to both characters uwu
I don't have much to say other than good job, but I want to help give you some engagement because damn, this was really great!
the way that there's such symmetry between glinda and elphaba in the lyrics except the entire student body is just against elphaba is kinda sad :(
THIS IS ADORABLE WTH!?!?!?!?!?🥹🥹🥹🥰🥰🥰
This is beautiful!!! I love how you drew them! You really captured their characters! Their shapes, mannerisms, and overall design really suit the voices and their characters!
_they were roommates_
*yeah and they also sang together, but nah that first parts more important*
I love the way you draw Glinda! She’s so tiny and cute it’s incredible
OHMYGOD I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! Your artstyle and designs (and the fricken expressions!!
Fear and Loathing in Oz
this animatic is AMAZING i love It so much!!!❤️
Of course Elphaba’s at a desk and Galinda is stretched all the way out on the bed
2:58 HOLY SHIT THAT WAS SMOOTH
This was fantastic!! I love all the little details! Great job!
The cut to 0:05 is so ominous for some reason, can't place my finger on it tho...
It reminds me of a Wes Andersen cut
Love you showed where they are so much like the backgrounds are just beautiful!
THE CREATORS OF THE SONG KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING THEY KNEW IT EVERY TIME I WATCH IT ITS LOATHING CSNT IT JUST BE HATEING??LAOTH IS SO CLOSE TO LOVE!!
Yeah, it's called a parody.
