Don't watch this reaction/director's commentary it's no good: https://youtu.be/MsZTCFVKuQ4

Hey Alan, an ad just popped up and showed YOUR animation of the witch fight without crediting

@do drawing just for fun p

@suso. قفنؤبزد

@Joker Scoutx

*Alan Becker alone can do better animation than most animation studios.*

and that includes you.

Wat abt Krinkels

@Joshua Eadie 😴

@Joshua Eadie not exactly, pretty sure all the animation videos leading up to AvA IV (or AvM OG) only had him working alone with some help from his kickstarter project.

@Innocent thief no he had some animators helping him

One thing I love about Allan is that he knows when animating/showing something is needed. He doesn't waste your time by showing something that already happened to another character but just different colors. Can't commend him enough

@TanqrJunior THANK YOU

IT'S ALAN

@Yaya Film Productions I mean yeah you're right, it is a given yet I still see unnecessary animation in alot of animations. Like I'm just glad I didn't have to sit through the same parkour scenes but just different characters

I wouldn't say that's necessarily "commendable" considering cutting out extra fluff also reduces the amount of animation work But Alan's use of pacing/timing is probably some of the best on YouTube

@Ramzia Siddiqi?

6:06 when that music kicks in, it fits so well. Cause at that point I’m like wtf is going on, but then the music really adds to that uneasy feeling. And then the music from that point forward just accents everything so perfectly. 20/10. Absolutely amazing.

me too

The "sky" block Green was trying to break was very difficult to do so, because it was made of obsidian, as it is shown afterwards. Really appreciate that attention to detail!

Can i just be the one to say that this incredibly complex and intriguing story has not one piece of dialogue and still manages to be a masterpiece? If you’re reading this Alan, props to you.

Alan, you deserve every praise in this world.

I have been following you for the last couple of years, and you have one of the most creative minds I have EVER seen anywhere! From making the stick figures, to saving the chosen one, to the minecraft series, I watched every episode at least twice. Your storyline is very interesting and love your hard work behind every sound and action that you cast in the video! Absolutely love your work bro! 👌❣️

This episode had more plot twists than a Marvel movie and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.

I love how he made fishing rods into grappling hooks.

probably means the stick figures are lightweight

This is the evidence that action is better than words, he managed to tell a story without even a single word. Big respect for Alan

Finally a new video I was whating for to long

Props to the sound design and music too, when there is no words they help a lot to create the vibe

...This is NOT how we expected parkour to work according to our Mirror's Edge training. Really appreciate this multi-perspective format for this episode. Also, the appropriate music timing and usage.

Never has a youtube series without any sort of commentary or just any sort of voice whatsoever made me feel more feelings. I am way too invested in this story right now

I had so much fun laughing at this because it looks so fun. The animation is pretty solid AND fluid too!

I respect everyone who were involved in this seriously the best price that l ve ever seen on YouTube, HATS OFF TO WELL ALL ! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS !!!❤️

This is better than any film I've ever watched!

@Noralhana Talib تتننغ

There’s more

Ayo block facts whats up

almost*

Purple: sets up a scoring system The boys: "Peace was never an option."

That’s megenta right

Alan I appreciate how much effort you’ve put to this video... Thank you Alan:)

I am someone who rarely cares about story, character development and all the other important non action related things in movies, animations, video games and literally any kind of entertainment. But I find myself actually caring about these stick figures and their story, their character. Your animations have made me care and that is amazing. Welll done and keep doing what you are doing. This is awesome content.

I just realized the ground in all of the final congratulation rooms are made to match with the stickman who entered them. Clever Alan, clever.

This series seriously has a better story and better characters than most actual tv shows, that have an entire team of like 20 people behind them. AND there's not even any talking - yet everything is conveyed beautifully through the animation. This is just amazing.

@King Dedede Stan that was a bit of a guess, what I meant is that Alan has a smaller team than most TV shows

@Abe Mulligan Tralz No problem lol, we all make mistakes

@King Dedede Stan ahh sorry i misunderstood

@Abe Mulligan Tralz Nope. He’s saying better than shows that have an entire team of 20 people, not that Alan does.

@King Dedede Stan that’s what he’s saying

11:20 ma dude used a fishing pole to swing like Spider-Man. *Fascinating.*

I like how this is called an AvM short, yet it’s longer than the original video.

Can you imagine how much more heartbreaking the end would have been if it was Red trapped there with his pig?

Sincere congratulations for 100 million views on the best Minecraft animation ever made.

Alan is literally telling an entire story with just body language. no facial expressions, no dialogue, just body language. and it's incredible.

@The Foolحضنااا

There's captions before but it's gone

If there's ever a Subspace Emissary 2 for smash bros, I'd want alan to direct the cutscenes

@The Fool yea

honestly its so cool

I remember watching this when I was little, thank you so much for the inspiration to animate

Imagine having the noAI effect applied to you. You're stuck in your own body without being able to do anything.

I love the fact that even though they're separated they solve the problem to them stuck also differently

all of them got 1:59:29 as their final score. so either they’re all equal in skill, or someone’s messing with the timers.

Perfect. This is majestic, this should be on TV 💯

Yes

Yes

😀😀😀👍🏻👍🏻😀👍🏻

Yep

Yeah i agree

this reminds me of those old parkour course collabs

Whoever composed the background music has outdone themself.

FACTS

I respect everyone who were involved in this seriously the best price that l ve ever seen on YouTube, HATS OFF TO WELL ALL ! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS !!!❤️

"So how could wholesome parkour challenges turn dangerous and dramatic?" "Oh."

Couldn't it just have been a fun little Parkour challenge for them to have fun? Noo, had to get all plot twisty and sinister! These guys deserve a nice long break!

In almost every one of these videos Alan proves that fishing rods are overpowered

I love how when they dont see eachother for a long time they just hug *how wholesome.*

This got reactions out of me more than most live-action movies. You are fudging incredible sir 👏 🙌 🙏 ❤️

Last episode the pig imitated Technoblade and this episode everyone tried to be Dream.

it never ceases to amaze me that even without faces or voices, these characters can use their body language to be some of the most expressive animated characters I've ever seen.

@SupYB y

@SupYB hes a spammer

@SupYB look at his other comments

@AxxL ok man There's really a need for more respectful people in the world

When stick men with like 10x less capacity for muscles and bones have better parkour skills thank you’ll ever have 😃

I love how this one is longer than the original AvM video

these are just absolutely incredible animations!!!!!

This was 17 minutes long, yet it felt like an hour.

Animation vs. Minecraft "Shorts" is literally a 17-minute full-blown professional-grade episode mad respects Alan :)

Its getting so good. I really like it. Yesterday i spent about 3 hours watching this series

2:50 can we just admire Green doing a Russian dance?

I'd be surprised if he's Russian lol

Wow this guy is so good at making these animations!

10:16 alan, fix your calculating mistakes. so green has 40 cobblestone then he puts 7 to make a bridge and 4 to make a wall. that's 29. then he puts 7 more for the other bridge. that's 22. then he bridges up and puts 6 on screen, then 11 on the other screen, he's got seven blocks left. THEN HE PLACES TEN COBBLESTONE AND PUTS ONE ON THE TOP TO BLOCK THE PIGLIN BRUTE. WAT IS THIS MATH ALAN

I like that Alan still call these episodes: "shorts". It's like the whole episode of cartoon on TV

👍👍ok

@Captain30_07 yep

Yeah, When he started this series The Episodes were 5 to 10 mins long

But imagine if Alan added in the stickmen loading instead of just them Teleporting.

I'd spend more on this than most animated movies tho ngl

A big mistake at 3:20 ,there is water boat parkour…but later we see that green is in the nether…so there is water in the nether… To Alan: Don’t worry I still love your animations.

The reactions they did when someone gets points for winning the challenges 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I like how he explains the story with no words

❤❤❤😍😍😍😘😘

yeah

Who knew that sounds of the park our would be satisfying

16:20 I just like how green is half way in the body it’s very funny 😆

Is that weird giant orange guy ever gonna realize a command block is more powerful that a grass block?

How is this a _"Minecraft Short"_ when he is giving us a whole show?!

How is it that Alan managed to make an in depth story out of stick figures who don’t even talk? It’s truly remarkable.

Hay lắm anh

Actions Speak More than Words. And Also, *C R E A T I V I T Y*

Same way BPS did with the no talking part

Ahmm... Mr. Bean

They do talk Their actions say WAAAAYYY too much

I love how they have a problem and they overcome them with ways that their personality only could eg yellow and comman blocks

Imagine I can have the skills like this when i making vids I hope the animation will save in world and more people will know this man is a legend That might be the best animation on YouTube

2:00 You know Green, you have to let the others shine, you can't just be the coolest stickman ever like that :/ And actually later in the video he is the one that breaks free out of the parkour loop and confronts Purple

I agree lol

Love how the command blocks only show two dimensions lol

It doesn't make sense how this is better than most of movies even though there are no words or any face expressions. I think alan deserves an Oscar.

Thats the beauty of it

@WICKEDMagma I meant Alan Becker makes surprisingly good animation without any conversation

Si fucking yes

What do you mean it "doesn't make sense"? It makes perfect sense.

agreed m8

Man this is already 1 year old Time flies too fast! It feels like yesterday

MAN EVEN MY COMMENT IS ALRADY 1 MONTH OLD

We need part 2 please.

Boyfriend: “Why are you crying over stickmen?” The stickmen:

It's only been a year but this feels nostalgic

Can we take a moment to appreciate not only all the animators, but to Scott Buckley! THAT MUSIC WAS SO GOOD IT FELT LIKE I WAS WATCHING A STAR WARS MOVIE!!!

200th like :)

Same :D

Same here

Same lol

Ok?

Can anyone tell me if there is a download for the music that starts playing at 6:33 ? So frickin epic !

This was the greatest and most unexpected plot twist I ever experienced 👌

I've been commenting "I know I'm late" on so many of these videos but I just have to talk about purple for a minute. He really is a master manipulator. Especially since the others didn't trust him anymore after.. the incident. He easily made them gain his trust again. Especially since SC was the first one to be suspicious of him or at least not want to follow him, mostly because of all the other trauma he gained from all of this. But purple still managed to make him forget about that and still completed the plan easily. But of course we all know who's the master manipulator over this master manipulator.. its King Orange, most of the time I don't like when there's someone more evil over who the audience assumed was the antagonist of a show or a movie or stuff like that but this time i do like it, mostly since we haven't really learned too much about purple and we haven't been given his intentions so this just made sense. But sorry if I'm going to spoil future episodes here but at some point I think the latest episode right now I'm not really sure but throughout this and mostly at the latest episode or close to there people would think "why the heck does Purple keep following and listening to King Orange after he's shown that he really doesn't care about him at all, I mean it showed at the end of his plan him and purple together holding the staff or whatever but it doesn't seem like he will keep the promise of having purple by his side even when he has full power. He will just throw him in jail or something after all of this" and to be honest I thought the same thing but when i looked at this again i realized that when most people are victims to manipulation they MOST OF THE TIME don't realise. Purple's need for acception and need to feel like he's worthy keeps him from realising he was worthy and he does matter and he doesn't need to keep sticking onto a manipulators standard. Because that standard never existed, no matter how hard he tries or anyone in real life tries they will NEVER reach the standard of someone who has bad intentions no matter how much they want to. You will never be good enough for someone who lost their way they will only make you lose your way aswell.

The swords have smear frames now, oh damn It feels so much quicker now

Not a single word in this entire series has been spoken and the characters still have a big emotional attachment to us. That’s something really incredible

@Astro Oh yeah I thought you meant the stick figures

@~Just_Vibin~ Animator Vs Animation IV. Alan says "It talks?"

@Astro what vid? I must have missed that

@hayuk bot ?

@Astroll

This is literally longer than the original AvM and it's still called a short lol

Green is probably the only stick figure that can dual wield swords as the others couldn’t that but he can

15:34 what my leg feels like when I'm at the most comfortable spot ever

I don’t know if these should be considered “shorts” anymore

Minecraft: How many rules you break in this episode? Alan: Yes.

@Two maybe mods would be an episode plot for another episode, most likely the main character will be yellow again but it would be cool if red could get the spotlight for once

plot twist: someone installed mods onto alan's computer remember when avm shorts followed more minecraft physics? (like the roller coaster ep lmao)

@Bruno Marić i think i saw that mod in a popularmmos video but it might have been a different mod

@Bruno Marić I can't play this mod, I am a Bedrock Edition Player.

Funnily enough,i once saw a movement mod that allowed you to crawl,use fences as handholds to climb or vault,and even make charged jumps to jump up 2 blocks and hold onto ledges... can't remmember the name,but it does exist somewhere.

Ah yes, the plot thickens...

They should make this into a movie this is amazing

why is no one talking about the soundtrack on this one?? it makes this episode

The only animation my kids watch these days haha

Alan is turning into a Cinematic Master He's creating a whole multiverse with a complete storyline

When they became aware of the situation, they were acting as if their minds were similar or connected.

In case you don't know, the music starts at 6:05

Did anybody else notice that in the final obstical course, all the stickfigures arrived at the end at the exact same time, down to the millisecond? Just me? Oh

2:49 - 2:51 I like how SC is just casually smacking Yellow in the head for these 1.6 seconds 04/28/2022 edit: This edit may not make sense for the people who did not see the edit I made for my comment in the latest episode on 04/28/2022. It's called "The Raid" Please check that before reading this. So. Hello people from my other edited comment. I have made this edit to say that this is the very last episode (at 04/28/2022) where green has appeared in the series linked to the Animation Vs Minecraft Shorts. Just to branch off from that other edit.

I love how Alan can bring about such a good story without any of the characters talking at all!

@Soup animator vs animation 4

So true

Thats what just dj said at avg channel while reacting to it

*16:30* It's enough to make a grown man cry, and that'd okay

I saw your channel and i literally felt amazing content like animes , cartoons and it's next level animation 🔥🔥

This is absolutely amazing I love it

15:23 Surprised Yellow didn't take the command block

The sound effects are what really makes these animations even better.

Its not like the animations aren't good, but they just aren't complete without sound effects

true

If green hadn't have been distracted by purple flying then he would have won the race

Right but he wouldn't find out what Purple and King Orange are planning as well

OMG Its like a movie. I cant stop waching this XDDD Alan is The Best Animator ever!!

Alan u r a legend and you inspire me to start animating. My most fav video is the showdown. When I first watched it and saw what happened to the stick figure I was shocked.
