Double King

The greatest new animation from a great young animator!

Notice how at first he has a blue shirt under his robe but that gets dropped later. Makes sense when you consider that he ad-libbed the whole thing in chronological order.

Double King is cute!

CUTE!

I lost my shit when he had his tantrum at the dinner table

C'mon man, I fucking love Colgrave but do you need to make it sound like an advertisement?

Lots of Rayman 1 vibes.

Not just the floating hands, something about the eerie but cartoony atmosphere and the general aesthethics as well.

The comedic timing in this is fucking gold.

I was getting a vibe of 'Thief and the Cobbler' mixed with Monty Python.

I love the music that starts at 4:53.

sorry

...

Saved

He is.
Also, he didn't do anything wrong.

This is so dumb and cute and great.

The flying pod scene especially reminded me of rayman
It was the eyes bobbing around in place and the pod bearing some resemblance to the mosquito

...

*squeak*

any porn of long morrison yet?

...

...

Getting serious Terry Gilliam vibes off of this guys work, great stuff I'm sure Terry would love it.

I thought the same thing when I watched it

There is something so satisfying from the way the Double King removes the skull from the Rat King's body.

>When Double King sits in the Snake King's crown

>Snake King's
snake queen

...

How quickly Colgrave forgot he had originally drawn this character with an undershirt.

I had more wrong than right on this list, gender wise. And not only from assuming maleness, I could have sworn the outgoing catterpillar was a grandma.

...

Harg a cute

Delet

Ask Trash and report back

I've watched this about 5 times since it came out. Fucking sound design in this is great.

Someone care to explain this part? Why are there similar beings living in caves throughout the episode? And why does it eerily slow down at pic related?

I wouldn't read too much into his work.
The entire animation is improvised with no real direction planned.

>young animator
Hasn't he been doing this for over a decade? I remember watching his stuff on Newgrounds when he went by MasterAardvark

He's 24 right now if I recall correctly.

This must happen.

>No matter how many crowns I take I cannot rule over my loneliness and pain.

Popular consensus is they're his subjects, poor and living in caves while he selfishly hoards all his wealth in a castle and hunts for more crowns.

>He submitted Yoghurt in 2008 on Newgrounds
>This little nigger was 15 when he made that

is he black?

You tell me

No, bogan.

best scene

...

That's impressive
Now I feel inadequate

Damn cousin IT's got talent.

On that note, we need running-over-the-table cycled.

i have no video editing software so i cant get it to loop nicely since he doesnt stay centered plus his hand reaches out slowly

The musical part with the mountain was literally Colgrave singing monastic choir music and then fingering and layering of over itself several times. The man is based as fuck.

>King Roland The Moist
Amazing

Lord Of The Flies is cute, CUUUUTE! Poor little guy :(

I burst out laughing when the castle backed away.

Why was Fish King in the land of the dead when he didn't die? Double King just whacked him a few times with his scepter but didn't kill him.

Out of water.

SO
MANY
WAIFUS

Lady Gertrud is CUTE!
CUTE!

Same.

Just a list of the ones I got wrong:
>Queen Daisy
>Lady Gertrud
>Serpent Queen
>King Aldo
>Queen Aldine
>Agatha

What's Dk's power level? I mean, he's certainly not someone a mortal being would want to mess with.

His power level is entirely dependent on whether or not his opponent has a crown on their head.
Even then though he died to just cutting his finger off, so he's not incredibly strong.

i don't think he's that strong. He just tends to ambush the other kings and queens, and murders them/ takes their crown before they can react.

He's somewhat strong, given he pulled Augustus's skull out of his head... However, most of the time his victories have been from ambushes.

However, I doubt he has much in terms of defenses. He's lucky the rat guard didn't have a loaded weapon nor a spear.

I meant the later bit, where he's running past the Fly King (I think) repeatedly, but thanks anyway.

Looking at it, he can survive being shot out of a cannon onto hard surface and being slammed down by the skeleton's hand (with quite some force I imagine), but he's pretty much a pool toy where once he get's cut he just gushes out a fountain of blood. How much force he put into the knife when he cut his finger, we don't know. He does seem have some admirable strength. He seemingly managed to lift Roland out of the water, and clambered up the mountain alright. But like you guys said, the reason he got away withing killing so many monarchs is because of his contrasting ruthlessness.

>scraping his crown on doorways
>big mouse holding little mouse back
>Fly King moving his head away
>making his mega fortress back-off
>the paper crown
The jokes in this thing are so small-scale yet so perfectly delivered. They're fucking hilarious.

Of all the things that make me chuckle in this short, the way he quickly glances at the camera after putting the crown on his finger gets me the most for some reason.

WE WUZ (double) KANGZ

So is his mouth behind his buttoned shirt?

With a mouth like that I don't think a shirt's going to do much to restrain it, even if its not indicated when he does open it.

He moves like a lizard, never pausing to think. I don't think he's sapient at all.

He has some planning and foresight (setting trap, tracking Aldo), and recognizes context enough to obtain (steal) things he needs and operate them

He's just impulsive and single minded to the point of mindlessness when he sees something he wants

Evidently devoid of empathy

Just noticed he still has his finger in hell despite cutting it off. What's up with that?

Dont think too hard into it, every scenario is made up as he goes along

That's King Finger to you

...

...

I actually like the music a lot in this
Especially at the begining, the flying pod and the music with the mobile castle

the slicing sound in this scene, idk why it stays with me but it does, brutal

I loved it! Especially the visuals, I can see that Terry Gilliam was a huge inspiration for this.

...

...

I've never seen anything look so damn comfy.

Agatha is the cutest!

He does good sound design.
E.g. youtube.com/watch?v=1Dkq6Lp8_gg
The sound the giraffe makes at the end makes the whole video for me

That along with the credits sound

...

...

Its liking looking at a cat that just sat in a tiny box

Holy shit this dude be blazed off his ass to make this shit.

DUDE

dont think about things

WEED

...

...

LMAO

Yeah, that's the one.

Most likely his subjects. He lives alone and hoards crowns in his castle while they just stay in caves.

The bones out front imply that they are carnivorous.

I wonder if they hoard various things as well?

...

Apparently Ronald's gasping isn't synched with running, which is both good for animation and bad for cycling.

I don't know why retards have to chime in with this all the time
Stoners have the shittiest ideas imaginable

Tasmanian, so like super bogan if I'm not mistaken.

m.youtube.com/watch?v=THInLmziG_g

he has four hands as shown previously though

Those were feet user
this is just a visual joke playing on Double King going crown crazy
