Okay so… I randomly made this video one day as a little project for personal uses, not expecting it to get as much attention as it does now😅. Which is also why there isn’t a wide variety of shows shown here, as it mainly just includes ones that I personally watch (not to mention the transitions are kinda trash). But I really appreciate everyone’s suggestions and recommendations! I plan on making a renewed, updated version of this compilation to upload soon - in which case, I might end up taking this one down

spinel is living proof that smear frames are really handy and should be used

"the island started shaking"
finn proceeds to unconsciously breakdance

[siri_gardner_art]

I’ve never seen adventure time so the horse that continually says “James Baxter” brought so much joy

[АннаУшакова-мю]

So, you basically just telling me that you like James Baxter

[ma]

steven universe : "it's over isnt it" song, the animation is pretty good 2

[breadshapiro]

5:34 I like their Easter egg on that episode. It's just Mordecai screaming "Yooo"

The most creative Easter egg I've so far.

[hharpu]

I can't NOT laugh at 5:32
FINN IS JUST BOUNCIN AROUND DOIN NOTHING

[Trees_talk_to_each_other]

1:41 So I saw someone point out that whenever we see white diamond she’s radiating and glowing compared to everyone else, but when the two Stevens are mixing white diamond appears dull compared to them because Steven’s self love is more perfect than her “flawless” image.

5:46

Half of Mordecai's vocabulary compressed into some scenes

[spencersholden]

A quarter of the clips are just James Baxter animations.

[faith]

fun fact: that steven universe episode from the first clip was story boarded by an animator from a different studio, and turned out to be the nicest animated episode and most consistent in character models, like in some episodes, heads become massive and legs are tiny stumps, it shows how much a good storyboard can impact a show

[idontknowanymore]

You can tell that the animators in the Owl House really wanted the witches battle to be the best and coolest it could be, especially between Eda and Lilith, and I love this! Makes them feel one of a kind and that they stick out in your brain more!

[zizzors]

1:53 was animated by hori takafumi (I don't remember where his cut ends) 4:30 was animated by the horse riding the beach ball himself, James Baxter

[thefoolwhoflew]

Alternative title: James Baxter animation reel

[ryanpatr]

now that season 2 of the owl house is out, i think the new beginning intro sequence fits VERY well into this.

[misaeldoesanimation]

The owl house is pretty much great animation all the time

[PyroGothNerd]

Steven Universe has good animation....I just wish the characters would have consistent proportions

[roze_clouds]

6:50
"Sweet Christmas you totally yoshi'd that guy!!"
Got me laughing 😂😂

[cashy]

Reminder that these are all done by individual/guest animators opposed to just the overseas animation that’s typically done for these shows! I believe all the shows featured (and others) do have a really appealing animation style in general, but I specifically included clips where the animation changes/ becomes more fluid. I’ve been reading your guys’ comments and thank you for the suggestions! I may have to make a part two in the future :)
