I actually really like the idea that when the Pikmin die they just get reborn from the onion later... It would also kinda explain Glow Pikmin in a way, those could just be the Pikmin still waiting to be reborn.
@@tanook4751 This is why in 4 I refused to let any die. As soon as one died? Rewind time. Don't care how much frustration it caused. 100% the game finally with no deaths.
A highly endearing and incredibly well put together short film, using the point of view camera work to tell a very interesting wordless story, of love, loss, and purpose. I mean no hyperbole when I call this one of the best pieces of Pikmin art I've seen this year, in a year stuffed to the brim with quality. Keep up the incredible work, and have a lovely day.
@@kingdingaling3376 Well just off the top of my head, I've been absolutely smitten by all the work done by u/Grumb000, especially his rock pikmin collection and pikmin horror posters. I was head over heels from tumblr user lumomoth's drawings of every pikmin 4 enemy their style is just wonderful. I personally do clay art myself so I have a massive soft spot for the work done by www.youtube.com/@Kerobyxclay . I may have to think for a bit but those artists works easily make up a good amount of the other top spots. Hope you enjoy and have a nice day.
This is a cinematic masterpiece. It has themes of friendship, trauma, great and courageous deeds, and even cycles of death and rebirth. The ultimate Pikmin animation.
What a great video, the scene where the red pikmin isn't on the branch anymore because of the man at legs hurt me a little inside. Also the mamuta being essentially the pikmin god is a very interesting idea
The Official Strategy Guide for the original pikmin game Mamuta is referred to as 'The Great Protector (The God of All Pikmin)' which I thought would be neat to include
As soon as I saw the cute red pikmin happily wave I was like this is going to be tragic. Then the ending became nothing I'd ever expect in a weirdly haunting, but also reassuring life will go on way. Strangely profound.
holy shit. i think this is the best piece of pikmin media to ever exist. absolutely stunned by the work gone into every single part of this!!! i am somehow both horrified and comforted by this
So that is the why pikmin, in pikmin 1 bad ending try to put Olimar in the onion: to revive him! But as he is not a vegetable, he don't revive, only a cable grows as if It a seed has been planted in his brain and using the nutrients and water to grow!
Poor red pikmin :( he was the only one who cared about little yellow, and was it’s guide. They went on so many little fun adventures, but at some point, he had to die. I love the way you interpreted the battles. They felt so war like, blurry, and surreal. With every death, you could feel the adrenaline. With every comrade lost, you feel the loss.
This is absolutely amazing, by far the best Pikmin animation that I’ve ever seen. Everything felt so seamless and well put together, this INSANELY well done. Keep up the outstanding work!
The red pikmin was a genuine hero, saved the main pikmins life when he was shell shocked, then died trying to save that other pikmin. Why did this make me emotional? Lol 😢
1:35 This never fails to make me tear up. It's so frickin cute and adorable yet you FEEL our Yellow Pikmin's desire to do real harm for the first time in its little life ❤
Holy shit this is amazing I love the pikmin heaven bit lol This felt sorta half-parody while still being emotional at the same time, seriously good job
This was heartwarming and scary at the same time. Since years I was asking myself about how Pikmin would feel, and if they are reborn from the onion. :3
Same vibes as the Penguins of Madagascar when Private is born and asks the other penguins if they're his family, and Kowalski replies with "You don't have a family, and we're all going to die."
Man at legs be like: "YOU THINK A BOMB WILL STOP ME? I AM THE MAN AT LEGS, I HAVE A [Friggen] GUN I CAN- OH GOD THERE IS A BOMB IN MY MECHANISM GOOD GO-" [Boom] Also a Mamuta being a God Figure for Pikmins if funny yet so fitting for me.
This is just absolutely beautiful and well crafted. A yellow Pikmin learning about life and hardships as well as making friendships. Great work my dude, also praise the Blessed Mamuta! 🙏
Pretty cool! Though I think it could have more pikmin types show up such as purples, whites, rocks, winged, ices, glows and bulbmin. Hopefully they show up in your future animations.
Yeah I was going to add white and purple pikmin but when I looked at the amount of work I already had to do I had to cut them. There'll definitely be more types added in future videos though!
This is the main reason I try to go deathless in every pikmin game, the death count is a count of shame, and I will never forget the sacrifices, amen (Seriously tho this was awesome!)
This is... Magnificent! This dude stuffed a whole Pikmin Short Film with emotion, action, and beutiful scenary in only 3 MINUTES! I also like how the Mamuta is like a god and the Titan Pikmin rebirth the Pikmin is a really cool idea, Keep it up!
When the friend Red died, I just started crying. And when the branch was empty at the end of the day… 😢😢 You did an incredible job of building the bonds between the Pikmin through just their noises and expressions. Incredible work, even if it did leave me a wreck at 2am.
Whoever did this animation I love you thank you so much. I wish there was more Pickmin stuff on the Internet. Maybe there is I just haven’t unlocked such treasures yet. Except for this gold nugget of course.
A Never-Ending Cycle of a Pikmin's Life. Many Pikmins would Relate to this, And it even makes me wonder if there was a Elder Pikmin who lived the Longest without Dying of all the History of Pikmin.
This is why you always treat you pikmin with care. I dont know why but games where you build a army I always tried to keep as many alive simply because I think about their lil digi families... And in pikmin it feels like your the devil to loose just one lol
Simultaneously absolutely adorable and utterly terrifying
Yeah, that's Pikmin for you
The Pikmin way
congrats you just described pikmin
That's pikmin+ :D
@@WarFoxThunder and earthbound, terrifying to some, completely normal to others(mostly emotionless), both games have that.
This is the best pikmin documentary of 2023 truly shows the horrors they have to deal with on a daily basis
Correct!
It's either fight another day or get eaten in the night. Truely a hard life.
>being reincarnated only to be plucked by Louie
Truly a fate worse than death
You have twice the risk of being eaten. Half of it being by the captain
@@masonstewart6232at any moment, Louie could kill you instantly.
god i wish louie would pluck me
@@Zenikat? true
@@Zenikat downright abysmal
I actually really like the idea that when the Pikmin die they just get reborn from the onion later... It would also kinda explain Glow Pikmin in a way, those could just be the Pikmin still waiting to be reborn.
It doesn’t change how I sink into depression every time I lose a single Pikmin
The glow pikmins onions became flarlic so they all forever died
@@cogs_and_gearsI mean if they’re just waiting to be reborn when it becomes flarlic they just become reborn
We live we die we live again!!!

@@WoodenTurtleyes this is truly such a good short film!! It made me feel things too especially cause I love pikmin
Can you possibly make this into a series? It's absolutely beautiful!@@WoodenTurtle
this was genuinely terrifying, i felt such an intense and primal fear at every single fight like my own life was at stake. absolutely masterfully done
Thank you for your sacrifice Steve, you were a real trooper.
I get the reference
EEEEEHHH A FELLOW CRAB FAN
リップスティーブ
@@nurazuramuhamad6334RIP Steve indeed…
wow
Totally captured what makes Pikmin both so adorable and harrowing. Thanks for making this art. ❤
I love how it looks kinda stop motion! It reminds me of those clay models of the Pikmin they used to put on the game boxes
This is a cinematic masterpiece.
It has themes of friendship, trauma, great and courageous deeds, and even cycles of death and rebirth.
The ultimate Pikmin animation.
2:03
I love how Olimar joined in with the Pikmin's victory dance.
My friend called him "the pikmin daddy"
@@pinklazx14yes.
What a great video, the scene where the red pikmin isn't on the branch anymore because of the man at legs hurt me a little inside.

I felt so wrong every time I had to kill a mamuta. Especially in Pikmin 4 where you can really see that they are furry bois. 😢
@WoodenTurtle it's pretty ironic, because the Smoky progg is like the exact opposite, and it's like a rotten mamuta egg 🥚
I always thought they were like, stone statues or something. Fur makes them even cuter@@JonathanGilmer
@@dacap279 I agree! Especially in Pikmin 1, they looked like they had rough skin.
I thought the ending was going to be the pikmin being spat out by a lumiknoll as a glow pikmin
Damn that's a such a great idea
@@WoodenTurtle Fast forward to the second video: seems you took the advice ^-^
This was an emotional MASTERPIECE!
Like I genuinely got chills watching this.
I actually started crying 💀
Same
Oh hi raggins (I'm from Prod's community)
Also totally agreed
@@SansUTxi started WEEPING💀💀
Hi raggins
I honestly really like the idea of dead pikmin being revived as new ones, because it makes me feel so much less guilty when they die.
As soon as I saw the cute red pikmin happily wave I was like this is going to be tragic. Then the ending became nothing I'd ever expect in a weirdly haunting, but also reassuring life will go on way. Strangely profound.
1:36 Saddest Moment in Anime History.
Imagine being born as a Blue Pikmin
Or a purple in 3 💀
Might be a blessing in disguise, since they’re so underutilized. Can’t be killed if you’re benched.
Swimbing
I love blue wat do u mean?
Or a White Pikmin
holy shit. i think this is the best piece of pikmin media to ever exist. absolutely stunned by the work gone into every single part of this!!! i am somehow both horrified and comforted by this
1:52
I like how olimar is like
“Are you sure you want to do this-? Well alright lets go”
"YEET ME CAP'N"
I was more invested in this short video alone than any film I’ve watched in the last two years. Bravo man
This essentially confirms that reincarnation exists in Pikmin so I can feel even less bad about how many of them I lose on each playthrough
Make sure to match the colors of your Pikmin carrying atuff with the Pikmin you lost-- they'll come back from the Onion that way :)
So that is the why pikmin, in pikmin 1 bad ending try to put Olimar in the onion: to revive him! But as he is not a vegetable, he don't revive, only a cable grows as if It a seed has been planted in his brain and using the nutrients and water to grow!

Stopping at 1:20 is self care
Once again you’ve captured Pikmin’s tone beautifully!! My gosh I love this…
Life changing ✅, Inspiring ✅, Action packed ✅, Tear jerking✅, hits the feels✅
Other ✅
1:44 is genuinely heartbreaking
Poor steve didnt deserve to die like that 😢. He saved us.
This is absolutely amazing, by far the best Pikmin animation that I’ve ever seen. Everything felt so seamless and well put together, this INSANELY well done. Keep up the outstanding work!
Take all the time you need to make your animations this high quality :DDD
wake up babe wooden turtle just dropped another pikmin animation
The red pikmin was a genuine hero, saved the main pikmins life when he was shell shocked, then died trying to save that other pikmin. Why did this make me emotional? Lol 😢
What an amazing animation, always great to see all the animations you make. Can't wait to see what you have planned next.
I'll give you a small clue, it involves the President...
@@WoodenTurtlehe’s gonna go bankrupt after finally paying the dept I’m gonna guess it right trust me
@@WoodenTurtle from Pikmin 2!
Bro i genuinely got scared for a second during all of the fights and called the red pikmin my wife. What is wrong with me
1:35 This never fails to make me tear up. It's so frickin cute and adorable yet you FEEL our Yellow Pikmin's desire to do real harm for the first time in its little life ❤
As soon as I saw the Red Pikmin wave again (1:10) I knew he was going to die. I wonder if Pikmin naturally expect to die.
Holy shit this is amazing
I love the pikmin heaven bit lol
This felt sorta half-parody while still being emotional at the same time, seriously good job
I NEED MORE OF THIS
So this is what it feels like to be a Pikmin I like it we need more of this.
ピクミン目線ってこんな感じだったんだ...今まで以上に1匹1匹を大切にしようと思いました😭
This was heartwarming and scary at the same time. Since years I was asking myself about how Pikmin would feel, and if they are reborn from the onion. :3
Same vibes as the Penguins of Madagascar when Private is born and asks the other penguins if they're his family, and Kowalski replies with "You don't have a family, and we're all going to die."
As if being a Pikmin wasn't bad enough you're forever stuck in Pikmin 2, the most dangerous of all the games 😭
You know, of all things, this video might actually be the reason I start playing Pikmin.
This exactly why I can't handle letting my pikmin die... THEY'RE JUST LITTLE GUYS- 😭
I don't allow any of my Pikmin to die, if that happens I restart. they are too adorable
A kindred Pikmin spirit! I refuse to let them die!
Man at legs be like: "YOU THINK A BOMB WILL STOP ME? I AM THE MAN AT LEGS, I HAVE A [Friggen] GUN I CAN- OH GOD THERE IS A BOMB IN MY MECHANISM GOOD GO-" [Boom]
Also a Mamuta being a God Figure for Pikmins if funny yet so fitting for me.
Words cannot express the pure joy and bliss this has brought me.
this is the best pikmin video I ever watched
This is just absolutely beautiful and well crafted. A yellow Pikmin learning about life and hardships as well as making friendships.
Great work my dude, also praise the Blessed Mamuta! 🙏
Can't believe I paid $6 for the Pikmin animated shorts on Wii U when this would one day exist for free
POV:actually,you're the yellow one
I like the reference as to how the Mamuta's technical name is "God of all Pikmin", Nice Touch!
they say this game is E for Everyone but this story has more emotion packed into it than any AAA shooter or hollywood film from the past decade
Pretty cool! Though I think it could have more pikmin types show up such as purples, whites, rocks, winged, ices, glows and bulbmin. Hopefully they show up in your future animations.
Yeah I was going to add white and purple pikmin but when I looked at the amount of work I already had to do I had to cut them. There'll definitely be more types added in future videos though!
It’s sad to think about how some pikmin end up losing friends and have barely any time to grieve
I’m happy that Pikmin come back to life after they I hope that’s canon
POV: You are not one of my Pikmin. My Pikmin do not taste death. I have the power to control time and I know how to use it.
I most definitely never rewound time ever in Pikmin 4, at least that's what I tell my lawyers
@@WoodenTurtle You deny your [-] button it's purpose!
(I completely forgot to mention, really good as usual on the animation!)
This is the main reason I try to go deathless in every pikmin game, the death count is a count of shame, and I will never forget the sacrifices, amen
(Seriously tho this was awesome!)
Your work captures the perfect, underlying spirit of Pikmin and I adore everything you create
i love how the mamuta sits like he has found inner peace
This was so cute, horrifying and beautiful at the same time, incredible work!!!
Automatic like. This is beautiful. The ending is just incredible
Tuviste que hacer esta animación tan bien para que solo con la ambientación me dieran ganas de volver a jugar pikmin 4.
This is... Magnificent!
This dude stuffed a whole Pikmin Short Film with emotion, action, and beutiful scenary in only 3 MINUTES! I also like how the Mamuta is like a god and the Titan Pikmin rebirth the Pikmin is a really cool idea, Keep it up!
2:40 I wasn't the only one who thought there was giant pikmin creatures!
I hope people give you lots of money for your work, you deserve to live lavishly doing exactly this
Really like seeing the pov from the yellow pikmin in the man at legs video!
Also love your take on pik afterlife.
I personally adore the spatial sound at the end, really thought i was in the ground 😊
When the friend Red died, I just started crying. And when the branch was empty at the end of the day… 😢😢 You did an incredible job of building the bonds between the Pikmin through just their noises and expressions. Incredible work, even if it did leave me a wreck at 2am.
adorlbe but packed full of action i wish more people noticed you because you have trueeeeeeeeee talent with animation
This is fantastic. I don't know what you're going to make next but I'll be there for it. Thank you for this masterpiece!!
I loved this so much! 💖💖 great work!!
Whoever did this animation I love you thank you so much. I wish there was more Pickmin stuff on the Internet. Maybe there is I just haven’t unlocked such treasures yet. Except for this gold nugget of course.
Nice animation! RIP the pikmin who were sacrificed.
Every time you kill and pikmin and "make more" that same pikmin that was killed get reborn to suffer over and over again
I never managed to rip the level assets on Pikmin 4 so this is cool

Classic Temmie.
A Never-Ending Cycle of a Pikmin's Life.
Many Pikmins would Relate to this, And it even makes me wonder if there was a Elder Pikmin who lived the Longest without Dying of all the History of Pikmin.
This is the best thing I've seen.
This is why we do no death runs. Every Pikmin life is precious!
I watched this in VR and it was amazing.
I hope it didn't make you throw up!
@@WoodenTurtle lol it didnt
This is why you always treat you pikmin with care.
I dont know why but games where you build a army I always tried to keep as many alive simply because I think about their lil digi families... And in pikmin it feels like your the devil to loose just one lol
And the cycle continues. This is true art.
Seriously Nintendo needs to hire you and return to this claymation style.
This was everything I had hoped it would be! Your work gets better and better! Were those Jason Lupash's Bigmin at the end?
Yeah they were inspired by his artwork, it's all so great!
I feel something like this should’ve been in 4, giving the pikmin personality and emotion
Question: Is this stop-motion?, or a Blender/Maya animation made to look like stop-motion?
Either way, this looks great.
It's just blender, thanks!
Really cool! Loved the Outer Wilds Reference
Imagine surviving a battle against empress bulblax and man-at-legs, to only be eaten by a creeping chrysanthemum. 🙄
That ending means Red is out there somewhere. Helping someone, I bet.
Mamuta is a god❤
pikmin should have racewars, like red ones hate the yellow ones, call them slurs like "yellow, ear creatures".
This is sad but it also tells me history of how Pikmin are living beings. I should make a Pikmin no deaths video.
So it's "That one time I was reincarnated as a Pikmin."
Yep... another isekai...
Now, where are my OP stats and skills so I can rule the world!
