This was BRILLIANT. Oh my goodness, why is my heart breaking over an orange stick figure. What have you done. You can LITERALLY bring lines to life

Amen to that

thanks Dodie! :)

Sheldon Honeysuckle how am I mean I said I agree that this videos was exelent thats what amen means

Sheldon Honeysuckle you make little sense

Yeah it was okay..

Even 8 years later, this is still an absolute timeless masterpiece

Crazy how much has happened after this

Yeah

Yes

fr

ikr

8:39 The way he does this makes me think he's been training for this ever since the original stick figure broke his computer

His computer got destroyed by a stick figure and yet he keeps drawing them. He'd be stupid if he wasn't at least prepared to fight them.

Pretty sure he was prepared for atleast some type of fight

It's a "Not my first rodeo" situation.

true

I love how Darren is just "oh, I don't mind that a stick figure you made SOMEHOW became self-aware, had Isekai powers, and blew up your computer". Like Alan is telling him what he did last monday.

it's so ridiculous that LITERALLY NO ONE can come up with as an excuse. So it must've been true.

Darren? Isn’t it Alan?

@Bloody Red darren's the guy that alan was texting.

@Coyolord oh thx 💀

I think in the AlanBeckerVerse, living Stickfigures are a norm to humanity. XD The Programmer21 guy in AvA2 knew about StickFigure "levels" so they must be some kinda common knowledge.

I love how quickly TSC agreed to help Alan when he saw his friends were ok 😂

That would have been great

@ZaZaMuJuMunawould have?

Bruh it happened

Who could've guessed that these guys would turn into the most loveable animated characters ever?

Beautifully done! Remember the old ones fondly! Keep it up and hope this isn't the last one but if it is, then it was a perfect ending!

toaaasssttt

Ayyyyyyyee its toasty :)

SoFarFromFaze w'sup :P

didnt expect to see you here

Hey toast! Love ya beatboxin!

It's my first time here after 8 years. I can't believe it's been this long. This is more impressive than the first time I watched way back in the day. Thank you for making my childhood great.

True goat

​@snowmanfr

​@XxCR4ST4L5xXI always come back, almost every year xd

As an animator that has animated an animation that knows it is an animation and knows that an animator has animated him, I see this as an absolute win

are you ai?

​@NoNamedon't click my about page… it has nothing…

​@NoNameit makes total sense

Zzzzzz

​@Dragonbro was actually honest

This is probably the most legendary animation I have watched to this day, thank you for all the amazing memories.

This has a place in my heart. I'll always rewatch this before Alan's new episodes because of the crazy improvement.

hola

como es tas

An absolutely refreshing take on the series. Excellent job! I actually got a TAD emotional :P. No joke.

ANT YAAAS THE FEELS ON THIS VID ARE REAL

Ant venom!?! Didnt expect you to like this kind of stuff. Nice

thanks antvenom!! :)

Alan Becker That was awsome. What made it way better than the other's is that the characters actually have personality and it told a better story. Way to go on reaching the goal!

I remember seeing this when it first came out. For me this has been one of the stems/sources of my motivation to animate/draw. It's funny, heartwarming, and really really creative.

Alan Becker is one of the best animation channels, see the incredible evolution of the desire to watch his videos 10 million times every day.

I remember when I first watched this masterpiece 7 years ago. It was probably just when I first got introduced to youtube. I always loved to come back to this video and watch it. Now I watch it and get nostalgia from the simpler times. I also love the fact that Alan and his team still make these animations. Every time I see that a new animation of his came out, I rush to watch it. These videos give me so much happiness. Keep on making them!

I can confirm that 8 years later alan is still the king of stick figures animations👑

I love how the animator never learns his lesson "This stick figure destroyed my computer, welp, time to make another one!"

minecfart

Yup

yeah

to be fair he manually made the other ones literal gods and set them free, this one just kinda came alive on it's own while he was away

Ikr !!

Alan’s animating skills have improved over the years and i am very grateful for this and the series he has made

I can't believe it's been 8 years since this came out, and yet here I am loving such an old animation, Love the videos Alan!

I watched 1-3 as a kid and forgot about the series until now. I rewatched them and just finished this and I never realized I wanted a happy ending for the stick figures until now. Really well made, can’t believe it took me so long to find this again

I rewatched the entire series today (completely unrelated to the fact that a new one got released, I just wanted to rewatch them and then I saw the new one) and honestly, this is probably my favourite, it is just so well done. The newest one might be objectively better/more impressive but I think because this one you had to recreate everything, do it all by yourself, and went cross media it is just so impressive to me. (horrible explanation but I just Really like this one.)

I agree. This man is talented as heck!

I like how instead of immediately trying to destroy his entire computer like the last chosen did, first he just tries to get him cancelled on Facebook

But that will destroy his reputation and he will obviously destroy his computer from this

@atina713 a computer you can just buy a new one

The Second coming is part of cancel culture lol

@sahar1213 expensive tho

XD

I love how you can see the improvement in Alans work. its incredible!

8 years and it’s still a master piece

Recently I've been going back to older videos of yours and this one was pulling at my heartstrings. This was amazing ❤. I love the things you do Alan.

What a beautiful work. Congratulations to you. I wasn’t expecting this, to be that emotional. 🥹 ❤ Great work👏🏻

The amount of nostalgia this brings 8 years later is absolutely incredible

it took me this long to realize this is just the story of how he got good at animating. the stick figures are TOTALLY real man.

N'aww!! What an excellent episode! You are awesome!!!

Hey! didn't expect to see you here!

Hey! Who knew you like this series too?!

YOU LIKE THIS TOO OMFG *fangirling*

Hello. I haven't seen you comment before. Great job!

it has been 8 years... THIS SERIES IS AMAZING!!❤❤❤

After 8 years and still a masterpiece

This never gets old.

I am pretty sure every stick figure Alan creates is cursed to become sentient and/or gain immense powers of some kind

So this is how you manage to make such incredible animations!

8 years later he made a 30 episode series about these stick figures with 3d aspects. 🌟

😭😭😭

Props to alan and the team

Yeah bro💀

After so many years people are sill commenting on an old vid. It's just so insane to see that

@GamingWithAnthony yup

How can some people dislike this masterpiece

I never thought an “Animator vs animation” would get so…deep!😮

I remember watching this 7-8 years ago this was a good amazing show😌 Still is an inspiration channel to watch

Its been 8 years and its still a masterpiece i cant describe how nostalgic this animation is

Forreal tho

I always love coming back to this, just this whole channel in general.

I like how canonically, animators can just make life by making a stick figure, and can assign them different power levels.

Frexap Hair Do you mean 104? (not in a rude way)

Frexap Hair I should have phrased that better sorry for the misunderstanding.

@Holy_Crusader Of The Holy Land crap

@DoodleJam ✅

@DoodleJam people always @ here

The story and the soundtrack are joyful and heartwarming, the happiest AvA episode ❤ 😊

The ending was way more wholesome than I expected :)

I’m glad this was the start to a perfect series!

Ahh, the good old days. Love how far this channel has gone.

years later this is still a masterpiece

So nobody's gonna talk about how good Alan's persuasion skills must be to convince Darren that a stickman destroyed his computer.

But a stick man did destroy his computer.

LMAO! My friends would have said i was on drugs

Darren is a homie and he understands when other homies are telling the truth

Lmao, maybe Darren was drunk.

reject wife Stan the homie Darren Edit:changed girlfriend to wife :p

How can this be going on for almost 9 years he is just unbeatable I've been watching him for 9 years everything looks so different

You’ve come a long way Alan :) I’m proud of you with all your hard work :)❤keep up the amazing work :)

The iconic episode. Such a masterpiece, even to this day. Amazing series!

essa foi a primeira animação do Alan que eu vi foi uma época boa

These types of videos will never get old

I love how at the beginning, the orange guy didn't want to destroy Alan's computer like the previous stick figures, he just wanted to have fun, he even comforted the sad emojis, he was just sad that Alan deleted his friends.

Yeah😊

yeah, while Alan was scared that he DID want to destroy his PC, its a misunderstanding on both ends.

His name is the second coming

​@A_small_newt second coming is like the Saian version of the chosen one It's like if you made ultra Sayan goku and normal goku 2 different entities rather than the same

@ChillinpeperWe literally saw them in the same room, so how could they be the same entities

God, so much nostalgia The keyboard noises sounded satisfying

8years and this is still one of the greatest animations ive seen

What a great animation! it's amazing to use Stickman to create a story like this

I love how they are genuialy exited to see TSC, it's so wholesome 🥺🥺

This animation inspried me to make animations too. ¡Gracias, Alan Becker!

I can't believe this is eight years old now, I remember watching it when it just came out.

+1

me too

refuse to believe it's been 8 years bro, it feels like yesterday

The end of avm is out now

fard blo real

8 years later and this is still amazing

8 years later and it's still a masterpiece.

This brings back good animation memories ❤️

This dude just made a animation that huge multy million companys can't make. Well done bro🎉🎉

It's actually quite interesting to notice just how much Alan has improved since making this masterpiece! It didn't seem all that different until you go back and see them side by side... the newer animations are just somehow smoother and more defined, but in a subtle way. You wouldn't expect it to be possible to improve perfection and yet somehow he did.

😎😎😎😎😎😘😘🤩🤩🤩🤩🥳😍😍😍

It’s a lot more 3D and they added 3D effects and had backgrounds and they added better lighting

he got so many helps from various animators tho I am sure Alan only did the 30% each episodes since he's the boss

@Hebi Tan When I say "Alan" I basically mean "Alan and his team" because of course it's a team effort.

This man never ceases to amaze me

I loved this. This was the best one, and it made me tear up.

You're a such good animator, I never want your videos to end! ❤

The fact that all of this devolved into a inter-dimensional battle which weapons are omni-powerful squares that are capable of destroying the universe, hats off to Alan and his wonderful team!

Holy crap I remember it being my last day of Elementary school, or at least the last couple days and this released. I haven't gotten anywhere near to this amazing art, but I do find myself inspiring to do such things.

I absolutely love this series, but this episode has got to be my favourite, it almost makes me cry every time!

How the hell is this five years old? It still feels brand new.

Maybe because his style of video making is the same

Ok butter kid is right but dumb su is also right

Dub**

ikr

What im saying is that it feels new

Hey Alan, you and your animations inspire me to do it aswell and I'm getting my gear tommorrow and keep up the good work!

Alan Becker you have inspired me so much and I have learned so much from your tutorials! Looking at this, it's insane to see that this started from a short animation made for fun.

This is a piece of history. As significant as any of the works we study today. Awesome!

What a perfect masterpiece of all stick figure animations 😊

Im upset with youtube for never recommending me your videos!!! I found a short of someone watching it!!! This isn’t fair youtube!! I needed this way earlier in my life!! You’re insane dude!!

Not even Alan Becker, let alone the almost 200 million people who've watched this, could've known the legendary series that would arise from this video here. 8 years of dedication and amazing storytelling, animation, and honestly pure genius, and it all started here.

No, it hasn't started here. It started in an even older video called "Animation vs Animation I", where Alan draw a black stickman, transforms to symbol to give it life, and call it "victim". At the end he only closes the painting window without saving and saves his PC. Then comes "Animator vs Animation II", in where Alan draws another stickman, again black, and converts it again to symbol, calling it "The Chosen One", starting to destroy everything around it with its OP powers. Alan at the end manages to transform the drawing into an AdBlocker. Finally comes "Animator vs Animation III", where the stickman with a 1000 IQ movement manages to release itself from that job, and starts to take revenge on Alan's PC. He creates a red stickman, which calls it "The Dark Lord" with the mission of destroy to "The Chosen One". At the end, the black stickman manages to convince the red one to ally to it, and both sum eachother's forces to destroy completely the PC and escape from it with an offscreen exit (This action is the start of the scenes of "Animator vs Animation V"), giving Alan an BSOD and making him lose his computer. Then, 3 years later, he buys a new PC, and starts doing his things in it, until we see him drawing the orange stickman we all know as "The Second Coming". This is the start of "Animator vs Animation IV". After this, SC (Acronym of "Second Coming"), in a branch of the timeline, he finds the Minecraft Block, starting "Animation vs Minecraft" and then the 30 "shorts" that follows the story. Maybe someday Alan will make "Animator vs Animation VI" or "AVM short 31" or maybe a new time branch we don't even know yet.

@Chile 🇨🇱 Mucho texto y te equivocas, porque aqui en esta aniamcion empezo por asi decirlo una historia emocional, que no era solo puras peleas.

@Chile 🇨🇱 Animation vs Animation V is in between AVM and Animator vs Animation IV, if you look at the desktop Minecraft is missing.

70000 MILLION

7ö7 hayır o değil

Bringing this Stick Figures to life is really Amazing! Alan Becker is really a Legend!!!

Un gran animador y el inicio de una gran persona

Alan Becker, I like your animations, it's incredible how realistic and exciting they are, They seem real as if you hadn't animated them and they were real, it's incredible how you do things in Minecraft, the video games, and the effects and then the sounds, you are literally my childhood, I was 5 years old or so when I started seeing you, You are admirable, thanks to some animators they make me want to animate things more but I am not old enough to work in an animating career and I do not have the appropriate application, and you are one of those animators who inspire me, and one of the What inspires me the most, sorry for the long text, I'm from Mexico, I love you Alan Becker for being my childhood and for making me happy :3

I forgot to comment here like 5 years ago when i first found this, but i'm rewatching the whole series and i gotta say, this. is. ART

This is still in my heart after all these years

2014: this is a masterpiece 2020: this is a masterpiece

3000: this is a masterpiece

3014: this is a master piece

9007 this is a masterpiece

100000014: this is a masterpiece

00:this is a master piece

Nice work dude, this is very impressive.

Love This with all my Heart! Timeless, Seems as if you tapped into infinity with this one.

Omg 8 years now and this still hits greatly

Your animations are amazing ❤ I love them so much

Ah yes, the first Alan Becker vid i saw 9 years ago. The nostalgia really hits man :)

Only after watching the Kings episode do i truly realize how beautiful this series actually was

Is*

@Makk • The series ended. For now.

​@Stan i think alan and his team are going to take a break for a little and then make more

@iamsnek That's why I said "For now."

From stick figures to lore, from dead computers to journeys. Truly beautiful

This video is an absolute work of art, and a huge step up from his previous Animation vs Animator vids.

Emoji jump 🤣

Bad rectangle

Delete

Drawing objects

Fight!

The jump from 3 to 4 is absolutely giving me tears.

plot twist: this was a real story on how he was able to animate so well

This video was how I got to know Alan Becker, still love this videos till this day, I don't even have the words to describe how amazing this is!

You know, it's been a long time since I saw your first "episode" of these animations. Guess it's close to 8 years, and that would have put me in the 6th grade. The whole concept was my favorite, and I used to be really into sites like stickpage and all their stick fight animations. I never thought I would come back and see numbers 3 and 4, and 4 being such a profound watch. In 13 minutes I saw what is now probably not even close to being one of your biggest projects, but made me feel connected to you in the craziest way. Since I'm now in my sophomore year of college studying computer science, it's so strange thinking about middle school watching your first animations. And it's amazing how far you went with it. It looks like you've done really well for yourself doing something it seems like you love, and maybe I'm just a big sap, but there was more emotion roiling in me from this video than a lot of movies I've seen. The scene where you pan to your workspace and see all these concepts you threw out or stopped and the stick figure finishing them, perfecting them. I could see this point where it made sense, that the reason you're doing what you're doing now is because 8 years or so ago you made this funny little animation about an animator defending his work from his creation, and now from just that you've become such a fantastic artist and it's all thanks to that little bastard who killed AIM. I'm glad you stuck with it, and I wish I had the passion, patience, and dedication for the things I love that you do. I hope you keep doing it. But for me, nothing you do will ever compare to this. You have touched my heart, and it just makes it really special. I hope you read this and it makes you smile, and thank you for the nostalgia from 12 year old me, and thank you for... You know, I don't know how to say it. But I think you know what I meant when I said this animation is special. So just thank you.

Phillip Barton I really appreciate that Phillip! Wow. yeah that means a lot, cuz i can relate to the feeling of watching someone's work and wishing I could express to them how much it deeply affected me. Wish I could do the same for people like Miyazaki. I'm glad you did.

Alan Becker

Alan Becker I'm just honored that you read my comment and responded :) Thanks man. And hey, send him a letter or something. You never know what your words can do for someone, and I'm glad I took the time to let you know. Always cool to connect with people who inspire you

Alan Becker Will there be a 5th episode ?

im also in 6th grade dude, cool. well im gonna graduate tomorrow so am i still gr.6 or nah? idk

Its already been 8yrs, loved your animations.

Rewatching ava 1-4 to refresh my memory of the lore, it feels nostalgic.

Um detalhe interessante é que ao contrário de TCO com seus poderes altamente destrutivos, TSC tem habilidades de criação, sendo muito bom em criar desenhos e dar vida a eles, é um verdadeiro contraponto. Também tem o detalhe que desde sua aparição ele já se mostrava diferente, como se recusando a ser deletado, sendo capaz de se comunicar e sendo notavelmente mais forte que seus amigos

This is still a time capsule of a bygone era... and it's STILL BRILLIANT

No matter how many time I watch this video, I never get bored

It’s honestly really hard to believe that this is almost 6 years old now, Time sure does fly.

I know right? I've been watching for years now and I've seen em all

OK

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

this is so beautiful I could never achieve any thing this good
