Over 40 drawings, 15 compositions, and no known amount of time (perhaps a month?) but it's FINALLY HERE! The Curse of Monkey Island's hysterical intro. After the very strange ending of Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's revenge, we finally found out that Guybrush is alive has managed to escape LeChuck's Carnival, though he's grown a lot skinnier and has lost his beard.

You better like this, 'cause I had to watch the intro to the game about fity times! :P Just kidding, I love the intro, why else would I animate it?
I'm sorry his hand doesn't move when he's writing. It was just too hard to do. And the reason his head shoots up suddenly is he heard gunfire, from a cannon (fired by none other than Elaine, the girl he was writing about.)

Please, no comments about how there's no pencils in the pirate ages. He's sitting in a bumper car. The entire game, all the games in fact, were made for fun, not historic accuracy.

Interesting fact: Earl Boen (LeChuck), Alan Young (Haggis McMutton), and Dave Madden (Dinghy Dog) now star together on a radio show called Adventures in Odyssey, playing various different voices. Funny how they got back together.

This is not a series. Please read the description.

Unfortunately there won't be a next part. This is just imitating the intro to a video game, not a series I've started. However you can buy the entire game, or see this clip and more with sound here:

This is... AMAZING. Looks exactly like the intro from MI3!!!

I can't believe how much detail is in this, and how much like the original it looks!

I've never heard of the game, which made this even better (since I didn't know what was coming up next). It made everything so funny, how he wished for food and water and all that stuff's floating by. HA!
I was really impressed on how smooth and clear everything was. I also loved the way the chicken looked! You did an amazing job and you should be proud of it.

Flurrin

Flurrin

You should play the game, the entire thing is funny as this!
The chicken turned out probably the most accurate to how the original artists made it. I'm very proud of him. :)
Thank you so much.

It's very old, but the graphics are still new even today because nobody wants to animate an entire game. It's so awesome. If you can't find where to buy it you can still watch entire walkthroughs on youtube.

very cool i'll check out the link :)

(just to clear up what i said a little because i didn't explain it too well) i just thought you might animate maybe a part you have played, which would be kinda cool. like the scenery could be the same as the game, and you could kinda animate what it is you're saposed to do. but thats just an idea.

but this is waaaaaaay too amazing i must say. you better make movies for a living because i would watch every single one!! I hope this is something that we will all remember on doink for a very looooong time :)

Flurrin

Flurrin

Posted 1 year ago

OH, of course. Actually I might animate a few things, but they'll just be simple things--like Elaine punching Guybrush, Guybrush falling (see actual transparent animation here: http://milegend.com/animations/images/guybrushfalling.gif), and they probably won't even have backgrounds.

Thank you! I might animate movies officially when I grow up, but for now I like to entertain you guys. :) That is flattering, though.

Could someone please explain to me what Monkey Island is?

WONDERFUL animation, by the way... the best one I've seen in a while, actually.

Flurrin

Flurrin

Posted 1 year ago

Heheh, oops, sorry, Zechira. Monkey Island is a fully-animated computer game released in 199(7?). It was the first in the Monkey Island series to include voice acting, since the first two games used MIDI files for all noises and music. The game centers around a young (debatable...he's somewhere around twenty) wannabe pirate named Guybrush Threepwood, who, at the end of the last game, had been captured by his evil arch nemesis LeChuck, the undead pirate, who had fooled him into thinking that he was his long-lost brother, Chuckie.
This is the opening to the game (though it's minus a few things, due to the fact I didn't know there was a way to make things get smaller in the distance).

This is incredible, fantastic job! I love Monkey Island 3 (and 2, haven't tried 1), and you got the style and subtle details (the whispy cloud style, the colors, the little details on the moon, the facial expressions, the perspective changes, everything!) perfect!

Flurrin

Flurrin

Posted 1 year ago

I have only played and beat 3 and 4. I only gain what I know abouty 1 and 2 from fan sites, screen shots, etc.
Thank you! The clouds were a lot of fun, the moon was a pain, and the faces were a riot (Have you ever tried watched frame-by-frame animation on youtube?)! Thanks.

Did you mean, if I animate another scene from the game? (If not, please read the comment below description. Thanks :))
Because I might do that, but they might not be as detailed. I'm already working on a little thing of Guybrush when he's falling...heehee...It's so funny.

Isn't it a riot? And what's more, the battle going on (what he heard was cannon fire, that's why his head shot up suddenly, he heard a BANG) is between LeChuck...and none other than ELAINE, the love of his life!!

I'm sorry, but...huh? Type stuff, you mean, the letters? Click on the "A" button. Then make the box the right size (It'll get bigger as you type), then click on your next tool, like the paint brush or something. It should work. If it doesn't contact Karen or one of the creators. That's the best I can do for you.

It's a 3D adventure-type game. You wander around the environment solving puzzles (like in monkey island--where you have to find the right objects and use them appropriately)
It's not nearly as funny, but the environment details are gorgeous and the game is pretty well-paced.

Someone told me that Lucasarts is remaking MI1. Sweet, eh? I hope they don't kill it.

I got the game on my IPod touch like I said I would. I know how to get the Xbox version of Secret of Monkey Island too. You need Xbox live and it's in the store. You can also get an online version for I think everyone in the series, not sure about any of the other ones though sorry.

Flurrin

Neat! :)
I only have an original Xbox, so I probably couldn't get it even if we could pay for Xbox Live. :P
xD I have all the Tales of Monkey Island for the Wii so far (except the latest one, I'm not sure if that's even out yet).
