Hey Saberspark! My name is Kaitlin Callahan, and I was actually storyboard artist on this movie back in 2017! It was my first ever storyboarding job out of college, and it actually helped me break into he animation industry! I have to do some digging on my old hard drives, but I'm almost certain I still have the storyboard files of the scenes I worked on! I'm more than happy to answer any questions you might have on the production of this film, I've got lots of stories! Thank you, and have a great day! UPDATE: I FOUND MY BOARDS FOR ACADEMY OF MAGIC. *I HAVE RECEIPTS*
17:38 Jokes aside, a seemingly innocent campus statue being revealed to be someone who was actually turned to stone is actually a pretty neat plot twist (the execution of it in this movie, however, not so much lol)
Her becoming the headmaster as a reward for defeating the bad guy despite having 0 academic achievements is something that sounds straight out of a Skyrim questline
“Well, you survived our dangerous gruntwork amid a crisis. Clearly that equates to the necessary leadership, civic, and academic knowledge needed to run this operation. Nope, not just Commander at Arms or Head of Security, leader of this whole ass thing.”
I mean, I guess as a counter point, maybe that position was literally all the College of Winterhold could give you. Like imagine they barely had money or spare resources, so they gave you the Headmaster/Archmage title as a way to give you access to what they had; basically a nice room and some experts to consult. You’re definitely not manning any regular duties or teaching anyone, and you’re only paid when you do more quest stuff, so it kinda lines up.
Damn imagine being a, presumably, certified instructor of arcane arts and having perhaps decades of teaching and training under your belt only to be told some teenager is now your boss because she managed to stop your evil old boss.
Love how some of the characters just straight up float an inch above the ground in some scenes. This rip off is another example of something that feels as if a still frame could pass as like, an early WIP render of a much better film.... But as soon as the characters move and speak, oh man, it's just awful. lmao
Reminds me of Food Fight honestly, and could be a similar issue where they made basically a demo cut and ran out of time/money before the final cut so they just ran with what they had.
Just want to point out that the Snape not being the bad guy twist was already done in the first Harry Potter book. They weren't even really subverting expectations with that.
Fun fact, in a authors note of gintama manga the author talked about how he almost didn’t write Gintama and almost did a lazy Harry Potter knockoff after a period drama manga he was writing failed. He wrote Gintama after a fight with his editor about cramming random shit into a period piece setting.
It's kinda funny, I love watching people review those types of movies in videos like this, but I can't STAND watching the actual ripoffs themselves, I just find them so unbelievably boring.

Don't even get me started on Light-year twist villain.
11:55 "where does he poop?" I have an answer. According to a real, actual tweet approved by JK Rowling, before plumbing was invented, witches and wizards "relieved themselves wherever they stood, and vanished the evidence." Since this is a HP ripoff I imagine they would want to incorporate this essential part of the HP universe into their movie
To be fair, if we ordinary humans had access to magic abilities like making stuff disappear, we would probably be doing the same instead of going to the bathroom - we as a species are just that addicted to convenience.
I don't put any stock in that tweet, for the simple reason that Chamber Pots were mentioned by Dumbledore in the same breath where he foreshadows the Room of Requirement.

Besides, if you could magic your crap away, why not do so before it even leaves your body? Why not, the instant you feel you have to go, magic it away so you don't have to go anymore? ...this is me calling this out as ridiculous and that I don't buy JK's explanation. She was clearly (hopefully) joking. And if not, I think we should all unanimously agree, just this once, to not accept the writer's words as official canon.
I want to pitch my idea for a series of books, it's my own original idea and definitely not a rip-off. Harriet Topper is raised by her father's mildly annoying cousins, the Duallies. One day, she is approached by a dwarf named Corundum Tired and told that she has magical powers. She is then taken to Swinezit's Academy of Sorcery and Parlor Tricks, run by Bertcab Fallthreshold. There, she meets two friends, Roland Ferrety and Hermithree Farmhouse, and her rival, Saurus Foildad. Harriet, together with Roland and Hermithree, go on many adventures in order to thwart the villian, Baron Elvis Moldytod. I'm thinking of calling the first book "Harriet Topper and the Warlock's Rock."
I’m gonna be real, the characters doing a rain dance so they can see where the invisible steps are is pretty smart. It might’ve been lifted from somewhere else (wouldn’t be surprised) but I’ll call it where I see it
15:38 To be fair, it's kinda obvious she either has the key or is the key. I mean, she was the only other person there. Everybody else is either dead or locked up, so it has to be her, the only one to escape. Or the robot. I'm just saying options are limited.
This movie feels like a school project that you had too big plans for that you thought you could co but couldn't and then panic when you realize you forgot to put the actually important stuff in it (AKA the horribly animated story sequence) and then scramble to put it in the project last minute.
My sister just glanced at my laptop and said "Is that Anna?" I was like "no..." and then she was like "That looks like Anna where is Elsa? Is that another frozen spin-off". Bro..😱
This movie does have potential. The character designs look like a mobile game, but it's fine. I've seen worse. Just at least make them change clothes. For the plot... What if the robot that brings Aura to Apple Valley breaks down and someone finds her and takes her in? She raises Aura to be a strong young lady who's taller than everyone around her. Aura even has to duck when going inside her home. Yet she's a great inventor and makes contraptions to help the villagers. While walking through the woods, she finds the robot broken down and brings it back to repair it. She gets it repaired and it becomes her friend. Just a day later, she receives a letter that's basically an acceptance letter to the school. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity so she takes it, but the robot is against it. She meets Don (fake Ron) and he's a jerk at first. She arrives at the school and Don is her roommate of course for plot. She attends classes and does regular magic stuff. Professor Crepe is a jerk and Headmaster Frank isn't. Also Frank turns out to be her uncle and puts her on the best track to embrace her magic powers. Yet the robot keeps telling her Frank is bad news but she doesn't listen. Anyway Aura and Don get closer and start to notice strange things about the school. They find the cage dude and the whole plot is put together like a puzzle that gradually figured out so when the backstory is told it's like an "ooooooh!" Moment. Anyway the guy that got the key hides it in Aura to keep it safe but Frank catches wind of it and kills Aura's parents and stuff to get to it. But the robot takes Aura far away. Aura's the other key and that's why Frank wanted her so bad. Frank kills the robot and turns everyone including her to stone and Crepe frees her. It turns out he's actually her uncle and was mean so he could scare her away to keep her safe. The evil battle ensues and Aura uses a mix of magic and her inventing abilities and defeats him with the help of Don and Crepe. Crepe becomes headmaster instead and actually does a good job and Aura helps improve the school with her inventions
17:51 Saber: "Aura is made the Headmaster of the school, even though she had like one semester of like actual learning..." Skyrim's Collage of Winterhold: ...
6:50 Did they forget to animate Spongebot into this scene so superimposed it onto the background. It looks like it's floating. It's on the same level as Trolland
I just about lost my marbles hearing that Ben Diskin, the voice actor for my comfort character, Lemres, in Puyo Puyo Tetris 1 and 2, was involved in this. I still think about how one of my friends met him at Anthrocon a few years back, still jealous to this day.
5:55 i find it funny how the scar in the movie looks fairly similar to the design of the hidden leaf symbol in naruto, an anime in which its story (earlier on) can be compared heavily to that of harry potter lol
21:01 no way someone didn't know the alternative meaning to that line. It had to be a young writer on the team that snuck it in, it's too perfectly executed to be an accident 😆
Fun fact, in my current dnd campaign i made a tabaxi named timantha. It was going to be an inside joke since last time i was 1304, or boy, and the dm mentioned how hard it was to remember if my character was a guy or girl. But now it's devolved into another joke which is every time i introduce myself i'll say "my name is timantha but some call me....tim". My intent is next time i introduce my character, she makes an explosion happen. Toss a little oil, a little produce flame, and tada, reference.
I once wrote a Harry Potter rip-off. Actually it was supposed to be a sequel (kind of) but it had so little to do with Harry Potter that I figured I'd just make it my own thing.
The butterfly part isn’t factually correct. She turns into a monarch butterfly, and they are poisonous to consume, and birds already know this! So the idea that the bird tries to eat her is just incorrect.
Speaking of $12 Million, Winx Club: The Mystery of the Abyss looks much cheaper than Academy of Magic, but it has better animation when it comes to how the characters move, but that’s not saying much.
Magical Adventure (the 2nd one) is still the worst out of all the Winx Club movies imo despite the fact that Mystery of the Abyss tried so hard to be hip with the youth with the Justin Bieber name dropping and the rap that Tritanius and the Trix do at the ending dance party scene.
Actually, as far as I'm aware, the guy who was behind Cars for this movie is only responsible for "Additional Storyboarding" in cars. That explains a lot
The poster saying the movie is “from the creator of Cars” is absolutely wild. The man is credited as an “additional storyboard artist”. Not to discredit storyboard artists, but claiming you created the movie is so intentionally deceptive.
Honestly, might be less controversial than Harry Potter. 14:20 I know that is a common complaint with media, but *to be fair,* Frank looks like he would have been the grandfather's old friend.
The Voice Director for this movie was Cindy Robinson. She’s the English VA for Labrys from Persona 4, Makoto Nanaya from Blazblue, the current voice of Amy Rose, as well as other voices.
*21:03* The part when SpongeBob Minion robot thingy got kil by the evil dragon honestly made my cry. Truly one of the most emotional fight scenes ever created. 11/10 movie, how dare you talk crap on it, Sabre Sparky!
I love that right as this video talks about the terribly done voice acting, showing a scene where the characters woodenly introduce themselves, it cuts to that Disney+ Willow commercial where the character awkwardly introduces herself just as poorly.
The flying disk thing may be due to laziness, but I kinda like the idea. Brooms are overrated. I guess even a blind dog finds a bone every now and then. The wizard school thing isn't exactly JKs original concept either. She uses it well, and may have even come up with it on her own, but Ursula LeGuin beat her to it. I don't think Ursula was the first either, not sure on that.
So, one of the earliest depiction of a "magic school" seems to be the Scholomance from the Romanian folklore. The articles by Wilhelm Schmidt (1865?) and Emily Gerard ("Transylvanian Superstitions" 1885) collected some of tales. Then there were the Robert Sheckley's short story "The Accountant" (1954) and Eleanor Estes' The Witch Family (1960) .
The animation was in the same level as Moonscoop/Splash Entertainment, but they just ripped off both Harry Potter and Disney, had the director behind Cars work on this, and Laura Stahl, Ben Diskin, and even Michael Johnson are in here! We also had Ben Diskin, as well as Kate Higgins, Debi Derryberry, Christopher Corey Smith, Josh Tomar of OneyPlays(in Journey to Bear Kingdom, which he regretted participating in), Chris Niosi, and others casted in the infamous Alpha and Omega sequels, which is where I became an avid Dumbsville viewer.
After realizing how overrated her franchise is and that Elsa was more loved by the "fans" for non-PG reasons, Anna took acid to escape reality and ended up having a very weird fever dream.
I think the old man that was locked in the cage would just drop trow, poop on the floor, and use magic to teleport it somewhere far away. If they're going to rip off the Wizarding World, they might as well claim this but of trivia, too.
You could call Ron't Weasley Charlie for some extra brownie points from Potterheads (Ron's brother Charlie was studying dragons abroad - though he was missing from the movies completely IIRC).
I understand that in the worl there can be more than one person with red hair and blue eyes, but even the face and eye shape just looks so similar I think the only difference between the two aura and Anna is that Anna has slight make up on and two plaits.
4:27 Something I find really jarring is that the front cover character looks the exact same, the only difference being the lightning and maybe the angle they're presented. Even the hair ridge is the exact same.

12:45 The Doctor Strange cosplayer and the Saberspark coplayer together.
This movie does have potential. The character designs look like a mobile game, but it's fine. I've seen worse. Just at least make them change clothes. For the plot... What if the robot that brings Aura to Apple Valley breaks down and someone finds her and takes her in? She raises Aura to be a strong young lady who's taller than everyone around her. Aura even has to duck when going inside her home. Yet she's a great inventor and makes contraptions to help the villagers. While walking through the woods, she finds the robot broken down and brings it back to repair it. She gets it repaired and it becomes her friend. Just a day later, she receives a letter that's basically an acceptance letter to the school. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity so she takes it, but the robot is against it. She meets Don (fake Ron) and he's a jerk at first. She arrives at the school and Don is her roommate of course for plot. She attends classes and does regular magic stuff. Professor Crepe is a jerk and Headmaster Frank isn't. Also Frank turns out to be her uncle and puts her on the best track to embrace her magic powers. Yet the robot keeps telling her Frank is bad news but she doesn't listen. Anyway Aura and Don get closer and start to notice strange things about the school. They find the cage dude and the whole plot is put together like a puzzle that gradually figured out so when the backstory is told it's like an "ooooooh!" Moment. Anyway the guy that got the key hides it in Aura to keep it safe but Frank catches wind of it and kills Aura's parents and stuff to get to it. But the robot takes Aura far away. Aura's the other key and that's why Frank wanted her so bad. Frank kills the robot and turns everyone including her to stone and Crepe frees her. It turns out he's actually her uncle and was mean so he could scare her away to keep her safe. The evil battle ensues and Aura uses a mix of magic and her inventing abilities and defeats him with the help of Don and Crepe. Crepe becomes headmaster instead and actually does a good job and Aura helps improve the school with her inventions
17:51
Saber: "Aura is made the Headmaster of the school, even though she had like one semester of like actual learning..."
Skyrim's Collage of Winterhold: ...
At least the Dovahkiin actually does something there.....
And the Dovahkin does so much to become the Archmage.
Anna just became Headmistress within 1 semester. *1 fucking Semester at a magical school.*
"Not Snape not getting that promotion...that tracks."
That was savage, I choked on my drink thanks lol

5:20 a Icebreakers ad interrupted the video. And was just as jarring as the voice acting of this movie.
6:50 Did they forget to animate Spongebot into this scene so superimposed it onto the background. It looks like it's floating. It's on the same level as Trolland
It's a bit better, the models look just good enough to make your eyes bleed out
I died when the main character was revealed to be 7 feet tall.
Bro, the creator(s) rlly thought:
"Hmm, my fav Disney princess is Anna, and I'm a Harry Potter fan..
What if I combine them??"

@Deadpool. Wdym no you two are spamming the comment section lmao. 💀
Bro why r these 2 ppl spamming so much-
It’s like the titanic the legend goes on. What if we combine James Cameron’s titanic with Disney characters and a rapping dog.
I just about lost my marbles hearing that Ben Diskin, the voice actor for my comfort character, Lemres, in Puyo Puyo Tetris 1 and 2, was involved in this. I still think about how one of my friends met him at Anthrocon a few years back, still jealous to this day.
Anna just wanted powers like Elsa. All she gotta do is let it go before she puts her name in the Goblet of Ripoffs.
I see My Hero Academia is getting spin offs! I love My Hero Academy of Magic!

@Deadpool. the comment was so confusing that the bot broke character 💀
LMAO I saw the title and for some reason thought of MHA
Isn’t that Little Witch Academia? 😜
It’s better than irregular at a magic highschool.
5:55 i find it funny how the scar in the movie looks fairly similar to the design of the hidden leaf symbol in naruto, an anime in which its story (earlier on) can be compared heavily to that of harry potter lol
Lmao I thought the same thing. It looks exactly like the hidden leave symbol.
It also kinda looks like the symbol on Audrey’s hand from Batdr
I was waiting for this because it looks just like it
This isn't Hogwarts, this is Pigpimples.
Pig farts pig farts yum yum yum - a very Harry Potter musical (it’s on UA-cam by a theater group Starkid)

"and now she's headmaster even though she barely had ONE semester learning."
Food Wars: "Makes sense."
21:01 no way someone didn't know the alternative meaning to that line. It had to be a young writer on the team that snuck it in, it's too perfectly executed to be an accident 😆
Is it a NSFW joke?
@@blueflare3848 yes very much so
Fun fact, in my current dnd campaign i made a tabaxi named timantha. It was going to be an inside joke since last time i was 1304, or boy, and the dm mentioned how hard it was to remember if my character was a guy or girl.
But now it's devolved into another joke which is every time i introduce myself i'll say "my name is timantha but some call me....tim". My intent is next time i introduce my character, she makes an explosion happen. Toss a little oil, a little produce flame, and tada, reference.
That is hilarious
No
So happy to see Ben Diskin has healed from this train wreck of a movie, I hope his recovery went smoothly
He did 7 Alpha and Omega sequels, he'll be fine.
@@allenmurallo3730 SEVEN??? BEN NO
I am Lorenz Hellman Gloucester
He voiced Sig and Lemres in the Puyo games since 2017 (redemption)
I once wrote a Harry Potter rip-off. Actually it was supposed to be a sequel (kind of) but it had so little to do with Harry Potter that I figured I'd just make it my own thing.
The butterfly part isn’t factually correct. She turns into a monarch butterfly, and they are poisonous to consume, and birds already know this! So the idea that the bird tries to eat her is just incorrect.
Speaking of $12 Million, Winx Club: The Mystery of the Abyss looks much cheaper than Academy of Magic, but it has better animation when it comes to how the characters move, but that’s not saying much.
my farts are better than Saberspark's farts.
Still Netflix Winx Club fanfiction is the worst
I love Winx Club.
Magical Adventure (the 2nd one) is still the worst out of all the Winx Club movies imo despite the fact that Mystery of the Abyss tried so hard to be hip with the youth with the Justin Bieber name dropping and the rap that Tritanius and the Trix do at the ending dance party scene.
I bet Saberspark would have a absolute field day with the Winx Club movies (especially Magical Adventure and Mystery of the Abyss)! 😆
Also do forget right at 5:55 her scar is the leaf village symbol from naruto they didn’t even make it more ambiguous lol
I don't even watch naruto and I knew that's what it was. lmao
@@Jerepasaurus I thought it was the symbol for the heart of tai feti from Moana
Actually, as far as I'm aware, the guy who was behind Cars for this movie is only responsible for "Additional Storyboarding" in cars. That explains a lot
The poster saying the movie is “from the creator of Cars” is absolutely wild. The man is credited as an “additional storyboard artist”. Not to discredit storyboard artists, but claiming you created the movie is so intentionally deceptive.
I love how they showed the box has evil magic just by having bat wings on it
When you animate a fanfic of Anna going to Hogwarts
That's sound like what a "the big four" fan writer would want.
I'm wondering what you're referencing /genq
oh my god this is totally what this is
So she just takes a few classes and becomes the leader of the school? Sounds like an Elder Scrolls game.
the College of Winterhold be like
"Yeah, I'm a wizard, that means I can't also be a robotic engineer and AI expert?"
Not-Anna's Grandfather, apparently
He's allowed to have hobbies.
7:24 Mall Santa Dumbledore SENT ME 😂😂😂
Honestly, might be less controversial than Harry Potter.
14:20 I know that is a common complaint with media, but *to be fair,* Frank looks like he would have been the grandfather's old friend.
The Voice Director for this movie was Cindy Robinson. She’s the English VA for Labrys from Persona 4, Makoto Nanaya from Blazblue, the current voice of Amy Rose, as well as other voices.
What!? She definitely wasn't allowed to have much input then...
I hope she got paid well for this. At least she has some better material on her filmography to cope.
And Laura Stahl as the protagonist…must of been a decent *cough* paying job
Missed a golden opportunity to push Nord VPN
“Imagine that you’re region locked out of every movie but Academy of Magic…”
*21:03* The part when SpongeBob Minion robot thingy got kil by the evil dragon honestly made my cry. Truly one of the most emotional fight scenes ever created. 11/10 movie, how dare you talk crap on it, Sabre Sparky!
10:06 they used the abominable snowman character design from Frozen as well.
Funny how Laura Stahl later went on to voice the main character of Iruma which can be described as Harry Potter but Demons
I love that right as this video talks about the terribly done voice acting, showing a scene where the characters woodenly introduce themselves, it cuts to that Disney+ Willow commercial where the character awkwardly introduces herself just as poorly.
I read this at the same time it played which freaked me out.
The flying disk thing may be due to laziness, but I kinda like the idea. Brooms are overrated.
I guess even a blind dog finds a bone every now and then.
The wizard school thing isn't exactly JKs original concept either. She uses it well, and may have even come up with it on her own, but Ursula LeGuin beat her to it. I don't think Ursula was the first either, not sure on that.
So, one of the earliest depiction of a "magic school" seems to be the Scholomance from the Romanian folklore. The articles by Wilhelm Schmidt (1865?) and Emily Gerard ("Transylvanian Superstitions" 1885) collected some of tales.
Then there were the Robert Sheckley's short story "The Accountant" (1954) and Eleanor Estes' The Witch Family (1960) .
The animation was in the same level as Moonscoop/Splash Entertainment, but they just ripped off both Harry Potter and Disney, had the director behind Cars work on this, and Laura Stahl, Ben Diskin, and even Michael Johnson are in here! We also had Ben Diskin, as well as Kate Higgins, Debi Derryberry, Christopher Corey Smith, Josh Tomar of OneyPlays(in Journey to Bear Kingdom, which he regretted participating in), Chris Niosi, and others casted in the infamous Alpha and Omega sequels, which is where I became an avid Dumbsville viewer.
Though didn't one of those companies make actually GOOD things, like Code Lyoko!? (I think it was Moonscoop, but idk.)
Hey! Moonscoop made Code Lyoko and Oban Star Racers, they were both incredible!
@@empoleonmaster6709 Actually, Moonscoop is defunct. Splash Entertainment is their "successor".
JOSHUA TOMAR PLAYED IN AN ALPHA AND OMEGA MOVIE!?!?!?
@@masterseal0418 yeah because of their dumb decisions
1:34 I JUST NOTICED. ONE OF THE OFF-BRAND WEASLEY TWINS IS FLOATING
After realizing how overrated her franchise is and that Elsa was more loved by the "fans" for non-PG reasons, Anna took acid to escape reality and ended up having a very weird fever dream.
Wait…is her scar the Hidden Leaf village symbol from Naruto?! Even the scar rips off another property wht 😂
I knew the symbol looked familiar!
5:56 That's also the symbol of the Leaf Village from Naruto so they couldn't even come up with a original symbol for the scar.
I think the old man that was locked in the cage would just drop trow, poop on the floor, and use magic to teleport it somewhere far away. If they're going to rip off the Wizarding World, they might as well claim this but of trivia, too.
You could call Ron't Weasley Charlie for some extra brownie points from Potterheads
(Ron's brother Charlie was studying dragons abroad - though he was missing from the movies completely IIRC).
When Saber was talking about the weird physics of Frank's belt buckle, the belt was also clipping through his robe.
My favorite part about this is finding out they call someone a bastard in this movie
Dingo Pictures's Aladdin English dub also did. Twice.
And the *First* Harry potter had REAL malfoy say ass
@@HeathRat
And also call Hermione a mudblood
And that's pretty much a racial slur, kind of

I understand that in the worl there can be more than one person with red hair and blue eyes, but even the face and eye shape just looks so similar I think the only difference between the two aura and Anna is that Anna has slight make up on and two plaits.
This whole movie makes a 5 year olds stick figure drawing look like a masterpiece.
By the way, the man who worked on this movie did *_NOT_* write and direct it. Instead, his only credit is “additional storyboarding”.
4:27 Something I find really jarring is that the front cover character looks the exact same, the only difference being the lightning and maybe the angle they're presented. Even the hair ridge is the exact same.
Gotta love how they just stole the Anna model and gave it new clothes and crappy lighting, great video Saber! :3
