this concept is so fantastic, it really shows how Smudge viewed the wild forest cats and the fear of watching his best friend turn into one of them. all the animators did such a great job, too!
I always thought abt being in smudge's shoes while reading the prophecy begins. It felt like a betrayal, being attacked by a whole clan of ruffians
Smudge still been waiting for 20 years... poor thing
@@Emma.WaterMelon Unless he has an insanely good immune system, Smudge probably died without ever seeing Rusty again.
@@michellelopez2170I imagine fireheart goes to see smudge as he dies
I like to believe that after firestar died he went and at least walked with smudge one last time. talked to his old friend, told him stories of his life, and i know smudge would never go to starclan, but maybe he can be with firestar when he goes to starclan, to say goodbye to his old best friend from the first few chapters ✨
This comment was super good. The dam just burst I’m now crying.
this made me cry its such cool concept but bro that shit hurts
i like to believe that smudge join thunderclan after the series
I really love the idea that in this particular universe, the Clan cats really do look like this. The Clans would all look different from each other but they all look otherworldly to rogues and kittypets. They would be like the four seasonal courts of the faeries.
Oh! Like fallclan (thunderclan) springclan (windclan) summerclan (riverclan) winterclan (shadowclan)
@@dangdao8068what about the solar courts?
I love the concept of Rusty having a lion’s mane. He was born wild. He was born to become Firestar, leader of Thunderclan. It’s just a shame Smudge had to lose his best friend in the process. I wonder if Firestar still remembered him. I like to think he did 🥲
I love how this one MAP is spooky just from possibly symbolic imagery. We don't know if that's actually what the Clan cats look like here, or if that's just how Smudge sees them all.
I like to think that's how all outsiders see them, but once a cat joins them they look less terrifying and more welcoming
my thoughts is that the mindset of the clancats (defending territory, and always patrolling in groups and such) is a more stricter mindset (following the warrior code, ect), whereas the kittypets have a much looser mindset because of not having to care for themselves as much.
Thus, there is a big difference in the mindsets, clancats NEED to learn to fight and hunt, and protect themselves and their clan, so they come across as scary to the kittypets, who, don't need to defend themselves nearly as much (they can just run to their owners house) , or need to hunt (if they do its more hunting for fun probably, and not taken as seriously, thus most kittypets probably don't try to get very good with it)
Because of what i said above, I feel the depictions of the clancats in this MAP is based on that large different of mindsets, and view of whats necessary and what not. (ex: how when rusty was first in the woods in `into the wild` he didnt even stop to think that him hunting mice would be a problem, cause he never considered there being a lack of food, due to him being fed catfood from the his owners at the time)
Things like defending territory to the degree that warriors do, probably greatly coming across as them being scary brutes who are violent with no apparent reason to the kittypets (thus the scary looks in the map and such that clancats take from smudges view), this theory is also supported in (firestars quest?) when firestar is patrolling and sees smudge being attacked by a patrol, and after firestar sends the patrol on their way, smudge told him:
"""
His old friend let out a furious snort. “I’ll never understand you, Firestar. You actually want to live with these violent ruffians?”
"""
These are my thoughts on kittypet's view on clancats anyway
I really love the idea that in this particular universe, the Clan cats really do look like this. The Clans would all look different from each other but they all look otherworldly to rogues and kittypets. They would be like the four seasonal courts of the faeries.
@@whiskeredwolf4861 And then there's Barley, who had enough contact with the Clans he likely has a bit of a mix between "jeez these guys are creepy" and "I'm chill with this".
@@proud22beme I really love this theory you made! This also shows that any Kittypet who do join the clans have the bravery they need to stay. At least that how I like to think.
I love how in the end they are wearing the other's respective colors. Smudge with Rusty's bell and Firestar with Smudge's blue in his forget-me-nots.
I often wondered how Smudge reacted when the forest was torn down
He probably was just worried for his friend or something.
GASP! That’s a really good point!
I clicked on this not prepared for it. This is absolutely beautiful, I cried. Smudge just wanted to exert caution, to be wary of the forest cats, and had to say goodbye to a friend simply because he was fearful of joining them. Smudge’s character in the books isn’t really elaborated upon too deeply, but this MAP really changes the way I see him. Everyone did such a great job, amazing work!
This inspired me to write a poem soo uh here:
My bones creak, I’m getting old
My mind wanders off, that’s what I’m told.
I lay down and think and ponder,
Of the woods where we once wandered.
We were still young, you and I
Chasing crickets and butterflies.
I don’t know how, but you convinced me,
To come into the woods, so vast and free.
You lead me through the trees etched with eyes.
Our hair all tangled, the sun starting to rise.
You were drawn to it all day and night,
I followed you back without a fight.
A figure of darkness stood before us,
Many more joined its chorus.
They appeared out from shadows,
In the woods where we once ventured.
Sticks and cobwebs lined their skin,
Worms and dirt churned within.
You approached them so eagerly,
I shrank back, afraid of what I might see.
You thought of stags; graceful and wild,
I thought of hunters; aiming for vitals.
You painted yourself with their darkened depths,
Your eyes bore into my sockets.
Sticks and cobwebs lined your skin,
Worms and dirt churned within.
You towered above me, a corruption of what I knew,
I fled from the woods, my fear only grew.
Brambles tore at my skin,
Outreached claws of your predatory kin.
Soon after, I had a dream.
You were sitting there, looking so pristine.
I tried to advance; but my feet were stuck
The woods crumbled down till’ it was nothing but muck.
Now I sit between a fairy ring,
Where butterflies float and crickets sing.
Covered in mold and rot,
Like a stump that time forgot.
The world fades, and there you are
Shining bright like a shooting star.
Oh, you look so brave and bold,
To you I must look frail and old.
A wild mane weaved with flowers,
No longer changed by the wood’s powers.
We weep and embrace,
Finally seeing face-to-face.
It’s all dark, but I don’t care,
The stars are bright, I see us up there.
NOBODY IS COMMENTING ON THIS AND I FIND THAT OUTRAGEOUS SO HERE I AM TO SAY THIS IS *BEAUTIFUL* AND I READ THIS SO MANY TIMES OVER BC I LOVE IT SM
Beautiful 🤩
amazing✨
Jesus fucking christ you need to write a book my GOD
THIS IS LIKE REALLY GOOD
Woah, the warriors community is having a field trip with MAP's today. All jokes aside, everyone did great! I truly adore the designs of the cattos!
Agreed!
Firepaw looks awesome tbh
The art design on this is PHENOMENAL and I definitely cried a little. Thanks to everyone who worked on this!
I WENT INTO THIS BLIND AND DIDNT KNOW THE MAP WOULD TAKE THIS TURN- THIS TURNED OUT AMAZING!! The backgrounds are beautiful and the story is too yet also tragic! I’m happy someone finally sheds some light on smudge ^^
Everyone’s parts look absolutely outstanding!! It was an absolute honor to be able to help out!! Happy Halloween!!
Ayo what up gold
I love this it really shows how much shuge loves rusty
Haven't even read Warriors yet this is the first animation to ever make me cry. Absolutely beautiful song to animate. Especially love how Smudge's mindset warps the imagery; the bits of pieces of the forest innocently hitchhiking on the wildcats' fur contradicts his sheltered lifestyle making the otherwise normal cats appear ominous and foreboding, whereas Firestar likely doesn't even notice. And his best friend bathed in a heavenly light of innocence, even in memory, until the seductive call of the wild latches onto to his fur and corrupts him into a monster. So much thought and symbolism lovingly placed into every single frame by the animators and storyboarders. I'll need to change that fact of mine now. Astonishing animation. 💙
Gorgeous map guys! I loved every second and every detail! I didn’t notice before how the three forest cats they meet were Bluestar, Graypaw, and Lionheart at first! I also love how Smudge meets Firestar again even though his friend is sadly passed. I think Smudge was a very underutilized character in the books to be honest.
The end result is stunning ! It was really nice to see it come along together and everyone did a really good job working on it. Thanks for having me in ! Hopefully it will raise some love for poor Smudge ♥
THE EYES ON THE BIRCH TREES. I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE UNTIL NOW
Wow this is a GORGEOUS MAP!! I adore how Rusty leaving was depicted through Smudge's eyes - of him going off and becoming one of the monsters. Absolutely phenomenal work everyone who participated, and thank you ForestWhisker for the amazing idea!
This is such a pretty MAP, I almost teared up at the end. I adore the concept and execution of how the clan cats look and how Rusty turns into one of them. The designs for all the characters are gorgeous!
I love the idea that when Firestar died he traveled through the sky’s to say goodbye to smudge ❤ nah that actually really cute and sad 😢
Absolutely adore the designs and atmosphere. The moment when rusty turned into wild feral monster was so thrilling!
THIS is why smudge is underrated. I love this fella.
i love how smudge is actually drawn as a fat cat, as it says in the book
He just a chunky boy 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Every part is absolutely gorgeous, what a phenomenal map! I just adore the symbolism in this too. Where Rusty sees wonders and beauty, is promised adventure, Smudge just sees horrors and danger, and is desperate to not have his friend leave him.
it was such an honour to be a part of this map!! it turned out incredible
That's such a cool concept! I like how Rustys design changes and Smugde can only watch his best friend become one of his fears. Their little dream-reunion is kinda sad, I had some tears in my eyes. Everything is so beatifully animated, everyone did an amazing job!! I especially love the scene at 2:39 Firehearts (?) design looks so nice with the flowers and the animators style is so sweet!
wowowow I absolutely love the way this map turned out!! The storytelling and art direction is fabulous, it really gives such a new perspective on smudge and I love the imagery of the forest cats, and I definitely got chills at the end! I'm really glad to have been able to be a part of this, thank you for having me!!
This is one of the coolest warrior AU's I have watched how is this not more popular????
This turned out so gorgeous!!!!!!! Tysm for having me in the map! I had such an wonderful experience!
Somehow this MAP is scary and shocking but also beautiful and sad? Im not going to lie i shed a little tear when i saw smudge all alone
Finally, more content on Smudge!
this map was absolutely beautiful!! i'm in love with how the forest cats are depicted in the eyes of smudge and the ending genuinely made me tear up aa
I thought the concept was perfect from the first time I saw it!! I'm glad to be in here. Everyone's part is so fantastic!
NO LITTLE WHITE BOY DONT STEP IN THE FAIRY RING !!
that aside tho i ADORE this concept so much, this is such great work & i applaud all the artists!!
Wow. I did NOT expect this at all. This has so much drama in it, but also beauty and sadness.
The fairy circle was a great detail ✨🍄
This really touched me, it really brought out the bit of nostalgia the first arc has, it is so very lovely
I love firestar design everyone did amazing
1:38 THIS OART WITH RUSTY LOOKING ST SMUDGE AS SMUDGE IS REALIZING HIS BEST FRIEND IS TURNING INTO THE THING HE FEARS I LOVE IT AUGHH I CANT DTOP WATCHING THIS MAP ITS BEAUTIFUL
I HAVE WATCHED THIS SO MANY TIMES what a cool concept of the underrated smudge boy.....THIS WAS AMAZIN N SO HEARTWRENCHING
I’m a little bit sad that Firestar was unable to keep his promise to smudge about visiting him
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS IM SO OBSESSED WITH THIS CONCEPT
I love the rusty design ❤️
Aaa this turned out amazing! Thank you so much for letting me be a part of this awesome project!
This is my favorite MAP i’ve seen in a while probably, the storytelling is fantastic and really cohesive, so it’s easy to follow which sometimes MAPs aren’t. Plus the stylistic elements are really cool. Good job everyone who worked on this
THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING !!! fantastic job to all the animators and artists who worked on this and especially to the host this is SO cool and it gives us a perspective on smudge so well in a way that’s so nice and creative
Everyone really outdid themselves on this one!
These MAP videos are capital 'A' Art, I fully believe that. The extremely creative and engaging fantasy premise this video is built on, the wonderful, evocative art styles everyone brought to their parts, the rly interesting short story here🤍 This is definitely one of my favorite MAPs. Thanks y'all for making it!
Omg YIPEEE!!!!!!! I wonder who's in this one?
everyone's parts are so good!! the character designs are so recognisable and unique too, it's rare to see a smudge MAP
oh this was lovely! i haven't enjoyed a warriors map this much in years. the concept was great, i love san fermin's music, and all the art is really good ;o;
Commenting late- Everyone did an amazing job the parts turned out beautifully!! Thanks for having me in on this fun project!💛
I swear I’ve watched this about 20 times. The song and concept is brilliant
IM GOING NUTS ABOUT THIS ACTUALLY I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
No way I love this song! :0 I love how the clan cats look
I wish smudge was a more important character in the books, because he was rusty/foresters best friend before greypaw
I don't even know why but this made me cry and it's so heccin beautiful and so well done by everyone.
Its really sad how smudge was scared for him to die, or get killed by the so called “forest cats”, he didn’t want rusty to die so he asked twice, “are you sure?” Rusty thought it wouldn’t be bad, until it was after he became the greatest leader of all time. “I miss you rusty…”
I love the eyes in the birch trees and i havent seen it mentioned but the moment at 1:00 where rusty has some leaves and twigs in his mane as foreshadowing was amazing!
Wowzers! This is amazing! Poor smudge :( I absolutely love the designs, art, style and concept surrounding this, oh my god! Finally my boi in the spotlight for once, smudge is so underrated 😭❤️
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH, the depictions of how terrifying forest cats looked to Smudge is amazing!! And I love that Firestar design so much, it's so cute!! ❤
Amazing!!! Everyone did a amazing job!!! didn't expect finish so fast-
I love this MAP so much omg
I love this so much. I love how when fire star passes away he visits his old pal. Truly a meaningful map. We love you fire star and smudge
It really made me cry. These animators did their best. Thank you all
AAAAA this is gonna be so good!
I love the backgrounds- it’s all so beautiful!
Gives me "over the garden wall vibes"
Damn boy, it's already done so fast!?
Absolutely standing over this, and I just adore these designs and the concept! It's phenomenally beautiful!
The ending caught me off guard, it's so beautiful and sad. Great work, everyone!!
loved doing the set design on this!!! i love how everyone interpreted them, great job gang!!!!!! :D
The creativity of this map in insane
This looks so amazing!! Everyone did good job!
*”THE WOODS”*
Kinda almost scared me with full volume in 3:16
Absolutely stunning map!! Love the gorgeous work that everyone put into it, it came out so hauntingly well...
This is amazing!! Its gives me those happy and calm vibes :D
As someone who’s been listening to San Fermin for a while, I was hyped up when I saw the name.
Beautiful map and art too.
THIS IS SI COOL
I still can't believe that people just... Do such beauty! You all are wonderful!!
hecking love how this came out !!! :D fantastic work yall ^^^^
OMG THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND TOUCHING AND I'M BLESSED
On Stormhearts’ part I noticed there are small twigs on Rudy. I think this was added to foreshadow Rusty turning into a forest cat. Aside from all of that, really love this map! This really shows Smudge’s point of view really well of Rusty leaving him to join the clans.
2:19 was like a scene from Ferngully bro HOLY SHIT ?? whatever my expectations might have been coming into this, their inclusion, and insane portrayal, of surrealism, conceptualism, abstract expressionism- etc, whatever the hell else kind of serotonin-glitter shit the script writers and animators slip into these MAPS- this absolutely blew my expectations as far away as possible. then you realize you're fixated and gushing over the love affairs and murder mysteries about FICTIONAL CATS.
it rlly is NEVER that deep, but rest assured that the team in charge of making these animations WILL ruin your Friday evening with their own retelling of glorified stray cat stories.
HOW IS THIS JUST ABOUT MF CATS YALL😭
love this sm, I rarely see anyone talk about this song or use it for projects like this.
THIS IS SP GOOD!! What a great and creative idea
this is INCREDIBLE!!! astounding artistry and talent, kudos to everyone who worked on this!
THIS, THIS IS MY FAVORITE ONE OMG I LOVE SMUDGE AMD THE WAY Y'ALL DREW HOW HE PRESEAVES THE CLAN CATS IS SO AUGHFJSKIR I LOVE IT SM
This is definitely one of my favorite maps!
This was incredible, everyone in this map did a great job! And now im have a headcannon that firestar visited smudge for one last goodbye before going to starclan
this is so good!! everyone's parts are super pretty, i love the imagery of the clan cats! and smudge's dream of rusty at the end,, augh smudge deserves the world!!!
I love this and I can't stop watching it 😭
THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL
This is amazing! I love the symbolism :) This Will definitely go on my favorite MAP list!
I love this so much!! It’s all amazing art, but 2:48 has to be my favorite. I love how they draw smudge !!
This made me cry I’m sorry
This is phenomenal!!! aaaa ❤❤❤
Such a wonderful map!
This is amazing and beautiful 😍
Poor Smudge. His friends kinda just left him. Also, anyone feel bad for Rusty's owners? How would you feel if your cat just left and never came back? This map is so good at making me feel emotions.
SO SICK!
Frankly mindblowing job from all parties.
