I love me some Kingston Trio. This is yet another "fiddly" project.... If I don't put it up now It shall never go up. Real simple plot relevant to the "No Evil" overarching story. These are Ichabod the crane.....Shuddup I like it....... And Chalchiutlique (Calamity) the basilisk. Long story short, they both often have to go out into the world and look for things and this is just one of the situations they run across.
This is less based on a myth and more on an actual occurrence, about which this song was written.... With magic added on my part ^^0

I love how you don't use Ichabod's wings as his hands like so many artists do, It feels more... believable, I guess, when the character actually uses their talons to hold something.
and it gets even better. when it needs more fine control than feet can do, he's in human form where he has hands
Calamity: Ey Icky, i´ve found a can with a note!
Ichabod: What does it say?
Calamity: ... Yeah i´ve got no idea, that handwriting is indecipherable.
God, i just read it in her voice...
@@szymonbober2280 dude you too it was spot on
We all knew Tlaloc’s notes were hard to read lol
I read it and hear the voices in my head.
Help! Bad sign? I have to ask Ichabod about it.
By the way...It´s the first time Calamity wears a dress, doesn´t she? Can´t remember I have seen her wearing a dress before or is it just my imagination?
@@sparkmate87 she does occasionally, but she changes her outfits for each season. For example in episode 4
"leave the bottle full for others"
calamity: *makes the desert almost an ocean*
i may have spelled her name wrong me sorry
I love Calamity's whole aesthetic
I know, right? She's great.
But they didn't leave the bottle full for others. Desert Pete is gonna be pissed.
+Spenser Zimmermann Not much point if the pump handle is gone.
They kinda did, it was floating the river
Calamity made an oasis, I think they're covered XD
Yeah, the regular travellers that use the pump wil be piiiiiiiiiiiiissed...
@Nicholas S Things don't evaporate in an oasis... which is why they exist and are frequently used by desert travellers who make their route to be based around them
When this series is better than most TV series:
Companies really need to step it up.
Sparkle8205 They just need to find some writers and directors with brains, passion, and a vision like Betsy.
Lord Dominator or hire besty as the director
Nickelodeon had the chance to run Harpy Gee as a new cartoon. They made a test short with voice actors for it. It was so good! Nickelodeon said nvm and chose never to make a series out of it. Animation studios don't do art. They're all sellouts who only run whatever types of shows appear to be popular -- never taking risks on anything new.
It's wholesome and sincere and, despite the myths, pretty down to earth.
The humor and co is just the cherry on top.
They need to hire Betsy!
Is it just me or is the tarantula on the rock cute when it shakes its leg and is soaked?
Luna Maria Auditore No not just you, is adorable!
anywhere else and I cannot conceive what you said. Sorry for the necro btw.
I want to see more of that spider
I’d burn that little shit with fire
That's the best part of the video.
When you put "desert pete" into the UA-cam search, this is the second result. Serously, why isn't this series more popular?!
Also, I am now mildly addicted to this song.
the common folk seem to dislike country for some reason, I should know I have to friends that say country is the worse
@@jonathanguajardo8430 I'm not sure whether this counts as country. It's more of a folk song.
@@Cedar_Wolf its both
it's more like mixing country with a more traditional type of folk song, the result is (imho) better than "pure" modern country. Not a fan of country myself, but this specific version of this song is the best one out there.@@Cedar_Wolf
I love how calamity is so giddy as a kid compared to her olderself
And yet she's still pragmatic and smart, even in her more exuberant youthful days.
Goddammit is the crane called ichabod because he's a crane
goddammit
I don't get it... Is an Ichabod crane a species of crane?
Lucas Samuels Ichabod Crane is the name of a character from The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
Oh...
whoa fuck, i never noticed
Also episode 9 includes Ichabod (and others) being attacked by an undead pumpkin-headed creature. xD
Wikipedia: "Chalchiuhtlicue was represented as a river from which grew a prickly pear cactus laden with fruit, symbolizing the human heart."
I find it interesting that you included a prickly pear cactus and that Ichabod stood on one before they found the pump. I wonder if this has anything to do with Ichabod being able to use the fork later on. I'm not sure what the connection is and it seems probably that there is a different reason, but dangit that's why this show is so hard to stop thinking about.
+docopoper Boy did you ever call that one.
i kinda like the exact reasoning that Calamity has for trusting the people she gives the fork to:
ichabod: the judgement comic illustrates exactly why calamity would trust ichabod to save her in a life or death situation, and brom bones shows he hasn't lost that protective instinct, even if she wasn't actually in trouble then. two siblings who routinely save each other's lives? that sort of thing doesn't come without trust.
huey: well, what exactly would huey need to find in this situation? trouble. and who better to trust to find trouble than the single most irresponsible person in the cast?
@@alexanderleonardi3625 I think she's just lazy and doesn't want to do everything herself, so that manifests as her being able to pick her friends to cast certain spells from the fork.
She picked Huey for the finding spell because he's already good at finding stuff. He led her almost to who they were looking for before she let him try the fork.
@@alexanderleonardi3625WHERE IS THE BLOODY COMIC! I've heard about it many times and have been unable to find it
@@barklet6110 it's available on google books for like 5 bucks
I'm several years late to the party, but I just thought I'd say I love this series. I'm currently going back and re-watching them and they're great.
( also Desert Pete was a great song choice for this imao )
I just got here sooo now you ain't late lol
i just keep whatching this series over and over agin
Dude I'm 5 years late your ok
OH My GOSh clear water in animation???? This is a first, and a blessing. Thank you soooo much for this. Blue water is my pet peeve.
first time ive seen clean water animation its now my preference for water at least the clean kind
Kaciekk I know it’s a pet peeve I hate blue water when it needs to be clear also the little spider thing is cute
Amen. Water only gets that blue color because it's usually reflecting something above it that's got a lot of blue in it.
Water gets its blue hue from selective absorbtion of the light form the red end of the spectrum. The jar or a shallow puddle lack depth for the blue to show though.
AMEN
Its gonna suck for other travlers when they get to that broken pump.
ArkaneOmega well there is a river full of water
Won't last in the desert for long.
@@saldownik
But it's a magic pump
@@saldownik the water will vaporize into clouds then rain then rinse and repeat.
you dont need a pump when you have an oasis
Did some research: Apparently, after Tlaloc was rejected by his love interest he became a depressed a bum with a bad temper, so he wasn't doing his job properly and caused a drought, yadayada... Chalchiutlique was supposed to happily marry him and fix the problem.
Also note, "some research" was googling for about 20-30 min finding random info that may or may not be false.
I like your variation much better though.
Chalchutlique married Tlaloc, kicked him to road, married Quetzalcoatl and had a couple of kids with him. Source: also 20 minutes of "research" on Wikipedia.
I’ve rewatched no evil so many times now and I only just noticed at 1:41 ichabod crosses his toes as if he’s crossing his fingers, this is why I love these so much as it doesn’t matter how many times I watch them I always find details which I missed before :)
Never gets old, I come back to enjoy this now and again.
Crying at the end - every.single.time. *sniff*
I love the music episodes - episode 2 got me into the series, but it was this one that really got me into the characters. Icky's expressions are priceless and Calamity is simply adorable here, not to mention their interaction is wonderful and shows their personalities beautifully without the need of dialogue.
I guess you could say Calamity's spell made you cry
so I deduced that the name applied to Tlaloc the aztect god of rain, and the "pump handle is actullay his weapon or something like that, and he wanted Calamity to have it cause Ichabod could not move it one bit at all. So does that mean there is some short of big plot to her having that, I can't wait to find out.
I love the dynamic between Calamity and Icky.
Liam the little whale They're siblings!
WolfCat-Hybrid he didnt say he shipped them :/ 😂
@@feliz5919 I'm sure they were just letting them know, not assuming Liam was shipping them.
Even after all these years...this is still sooooo good xD
thanks, my dude.
Rewatching this so much, and with what I know now in the series, I still cannot think of Tlaloc ever talking without a very heavy South Western accent because of this video
Jeepers, I genuinely forgot how absolutely _adorable_ Young Calamity was. All bright-eyed and playful, but still with little tolerance for what she considers stupidity. Hee~
This series is so wholesome and pure. The illustrations are creative and surprising. The story is interesting with humor but at the same time there’s a darkness that can be appreciated. I look forward to seeing more of this story.
Something really cool about watching this series over and over again is that you can really tell just how much Betsy improves with every episode. From backgrounds to linework she always seems to improve her style and her fluidity in animation! I love that the effort she puts into this show can be described just by her art, and not by her words.
As always beautiful animations Betsy, and I'm really excited to see this animation continue!
Calamity looks super adorable in this one, like a kid in a candy shop.
really cool and unique to see an anthro bird use its feet with such dexterity. people seem to forget that some real birds even do this to hold stuff and usually turn the wing feathers into psuedo fingers or completely turn them into arms which looks weird. this is great!
That....that was beautiful. Holy cow. Where has this been all this time??!
Kingston Trio?! Aw dang. One of the few cassettes my late father kept in his old Jeep was a "Best Of" Kingston Trio tape. I listened to "Tom Dooley" _SO MUCH_ growing up, it still plays in the back of my head some days, often when I'm sad.
Calamity is ridiculously cute in this one!! I love all the emotion shown in her body language and tail. The part where she steals the jar with her tail and goes skipping back to the well is just *chefs kiss*
I'm normally not a fan of scalies. But this one's really super cute. :3
i just realized that the magic fork thing is a dowsing rod xD
That little spider shaking the rain off his leg was absolutely adorable.
I love these music episodes! They're a nice change of pace, and they are darn catchy.
Tamisin 731 they are
The Fact the Betsy Lee is still making these is amazing, I love this series its so good
2:25 The two best seconds of animation I've ever seen.
That is the cutest tarantula i've ever seen. Just sayin'
So, here's a question. Did they actually drink any water here?
I always come back to this one. The ongoing story always leaves me wanting more and is intensely fascinating. But the catchy tune, the silent story going along with it and the animations make this easily one of my favorites. It would be so easy to just make water blue, but instead we just get a shimmering white outline like the water is perfectly clear. Even when it's picked up off the ground, it's like the tuning fork affects the water alone and just leaves all the silt and debris behind.
It is one of my faves, as well.
I love this episode especially, it reminds me of home and the floods we used to get when it rained so hard you couldn't drive.
I found this on Newgrounds so so long ago. Your series is one of my favorites I've ever seen! The story is good, the animation is unique and always improves, and the life in your work; by the Gods how well you and your friends have breathed life into this series. I'll always be a fan!
i need to rewatch this entire series i keep forgetting the incantation for the Tuning Fork
On this day in 1963 {August 11th} the Kingston Trio appear as the celebrity 'mystery guests' on CBS-TV network 's panel game show 'What's My Line?'...
At the time the trio's "Desert Pete" was at #51 on Billboard's Top 100 chart, four weeks later it would peak at #33 {for 1 week} and it spent 8 weeks on the Top 100...
The song was track one of side one on their album, "Sunny Side!', the album peaked at #7 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart...
"Desert Pete" was composed by Billy Edd Wheeler, who also wrote "Jackson" {a Grammy award winner for Johnny Cash and June Carter}, "The Reverend Mr. Black", "Ode to the Little Brown Shack Out Back", and Kenny Rogers' "Coward of the County"...
The late Glen Campbell played six string banjo on "Desert Pete"...
Between 1958 and 1963 the Kingston Trio had seventeen records on the Top 100 chart, two made the Top 10 with one reaching #1, "Tom Dooley", for one week in 1958...
Besides "Tom Dooley", their other Top 10 record was "The Reverend Mr. Black", it peaked at #8 in 1963...
The drawing progression for calamity is amazing in this series
Calamity is by far one of the best original character designs I've seen in a long time. She just looks like she belongs in the world you've created. Outside of the design I want to applaud you on making animations that tell separate stories for each character you've drawn up. The stories have meaning, not just because most are based on myths, but because of these characters and their actually quite realistic personalities. Keep doing what you're doing and don't follow anyone else's path. :D
I just adore this series! Why isn't it more popular?
It's not a very loud/hyper show, and the topics are kind of niche (as nice as they are), too.
I was recommended it by youtube many many many moons ago where i was feeling quite ill, at night, and watching the first few episodes felt really nice and comfy, and funny.
Was hooked ever since.
I kinda fell in love with the hillbilly American tribe culture stuff in these stories, their rather cute and has a decently respectable amount of accuracy ...
Also a fairness to all sides.
"No evil" indeed.
For fans of the song, poet Waddie Mitchell expanded it into a cowboy poem. There's a great recording of him reading his version, with singer Don Edwards taking choruses with the Kingston Trio version.
I adore Calamity. 💜
She's a pretty well written character.
She's the pragmatic "only sane man" of the group quite often, though she's not the only one who takes up that role from time to time.
Ickys outline being thicker when the fork breaks off tells an emotion I forgot the name of
The spider looked so happy 🤣
That the cutest tarantula I ever seen ^w^🕷🖤
"No Evil" reminds me of some running series of shorts from an old PBS show like "The Electric Company".
HOLY CROW I WATCHED THAT
I remember hearing this song so many memories
To this day, this is still my favorite animation on UA-cam. Ive watched it so many times I have it memorized
After reading "Judgement" I think this makes a bit more sense.
They're practically brother and sister.
Wate I thought they were siblings as later on she's refured to as his mad sister
@@redmorningglory1821 Well, adopted.
@@joelkreissman6342 thanks clears stuff up I shold probably read "judgment"
Got to say, I think this is still my favorite episode!
I love that spider!
WHY DID THIS GIVE ME CHILLS OML
I have a massive fear of spiders and the spider in the animation yes I find it scary but when its raining its just too cute
I've been greatly enjoying No Evil so far. This is really great, and you chose the perfect song for it as well.
I can just hear her say 'rise'
Aaah, god ol' Tlaloc messing with people who needs water.
It's ok icky , your dry sense of humor will help .
Thank you kindly desert Pete!
You've got to find the pump, you must have faith and believe.
"You've got to prime the pump, you must have faith and believe. you've got to give of yourself before your worthy to receive."
taureleafsilver
The next line was "Drink all the water you can hold, wash your face, cool your feet. But leave the bottle full for others, thank you kindly; Desert Pete"
AhhhhhhH! I haven't seen this series in years! Welp, my morning is shot, gonna watch me summa this.
I just love your work ^^
Thanks again
I love your animations, they're so imaginative!
Like, I seriously didn't expect this.
LOVE your work Betsy Lee! It's got so much charm to it! Irresistible characters and stories told through amazing visuals. Keep doing what you do!
Heh, awesome! Yet another amazing animation! Keep up the awesome work! I'm also really glad to see Calamity again. She's got to be one of my favorite characters of yours, and I can't wait to see what else you have in store for her!
Weeeeey es hermoso, me estoy viendo tus animaciones y me suscribí justo ahora, me encanta la música y los personajes, todos es tan bonito.
Damn! I still so love these. Love the characters and situations, music and story. Nice work.
I really do have to say thank you though. Your videos have helped me find many great songs, including this one.
so that's how she gotten the ability to manipulate water
From a broken pump handle. Which... begs the question, why did Tweloc (I butchered the name) leave his tuning fork to be used in a fountain in the middle of the desert?
The Awesome Herd Channle He's called tlaloc
The Awesome Herd Channle good question as i thought he used it to break the mirror?
Maybe someone came and took it after the ick was sealed away...
He might have left it there as a sort of puzzle, so that only the worthy/chosen one would get the tuning fork.
@@suburban-mech2107 The video is called "Tlaloc's Test". It's a secret test of character - will someone trust the note well enough to actually do what they said? That's how they're testing to see if they're worthy of the fork.
Of course, Tlaloc is supposedly dead... but the fact that this is out in the middle of the desert suggests that he might not be as dead as we were lead to believe, as someone had to set the whole thing up.
you do a great job with all of these
These shows bring a smile to my face at a time when I really need it.
These episodes are amazing keep up the great work
I just ran across this series and it's amazingly well done. Looking forward to see all that's been made.
Hey Betsy, just found this yesterday and thought that not only was the score very enjoyable, but the animation is great! I have probably watched this 20 times now. Thank you for this and i look forward to watching more of your material.
this animation is just stunning!
I love the continuity here with the spider in the latest episode!
That tarantula puppy is so damn cute!
Lordy these little animations n songs are soo charming! Really movin my day along.
I haven't seen the series past "You Knew What I Was When You Picked Me Up" (I'm getting to it as soon as possible), but so far, this is absolutely my favorite episode!
This is just awesome, great job.
I just want to say that this and the Bells one are still my favorite independent animated music videos of all time
Okay this was good I love the art style and the animation seems alright plus the idea of using that song to tell the character story was good chose.
i'm just in love with this series.... its just beautiful...
Your character designs and the way you use the colours is very unique. I always look forward to seeing a new animation from you :)
i love this thing, when ever im feeling down, i play it again. The friendship shown between these two characters is so complete you feel it. Even without the rest of the series, its so solid by itself, but the series just makes it better
i love the story and this episode is one of my top 3 favorites from the series so far :D
uve made my day and its only just midnight also love your stuff KEEP IT COMING !!
I showed this to my mom as a segway into ranting about the lore. I want more episodes.
I think I would like to document that I stumbled across this series when Fox and the Grapes hit the NG Featured section.
After that, I would lose the series for years, and find it again. And it was always this episode that I found.
It has been 3 years since the last time No Evil vanished from my memory. And here is this episode once again. I cannot express how excited I am to watch this series again, and catch up on what I missed. I Sub'd, so I can't lose it again. Your work is mad inspiring! Got me truly interested in animation, even if the process of turned me away.
Gosh dang I am excited. Thank you for your incredibly inspiring work.
Damn, I love this song and your animation is perfect!
you guys have talent!
I'm just checking back in on this series after... many, many months away. This was the video that let me find the entire series! Searching "Blue snake rabbit ichabod" and a mixture of aztec names wasn't going to cut it for finding these- but this song about finding a well in a desert did!!
I love these! They're great! Please keep making them!
I love the concept of Tlaloc's tuning fork being basically something that can control water and have various other effects depending on who uses it(and perhaps it's original user (who possibly is Tlaloc themself based on the name) could use all of these powers based on which song he used thus why there's more than one song). Also it makes sense that Calamity is able to control water due to her main form being a scaled creature with webbed feet and water having the potential to be extremely destructive if the right conditions are met.
I always liked the way you draw water.
i really like this one well put together to a great song. i must watch this one at least a few times a day
