GORILLAZ ICE HOCKEY (Tribute Animation)

$10 & UP PATRONS WILL GET THEIR NAME IN THE CREDITS OF OUR NEXT ORIGINAL PROJECT!

In honor of the 20th anniversary of Gorillaz, we cooked up this short special tribute. To say Gorillaz has influenced our work would be an understatement. Their ingenuity, creativity and ground breaking ideas in both animation and music continue to astound and inspire us. Happy 20th! - Tara & Zach

DISCLAIMER: This is purely a fan made project, this animation was not officially affiliated with Gorillaz in any way.

Kinda confused as to why yall don't post a lot, but then I see the amount of movement just this one 27 second clip has and I'm like "oh yeah that's why"

[eerieeric]

The Gorillaz characters plus your art style is just so amazing

[stevena]

The fact that you guys gave 2D the accurate Jamie Hewlett teeth (jagged molars, flat incisors, missing top teeth EDIT - "tooth!" I should have said, reflects the current model of 2D perfectly!) and the Hewlett hands is just amazing. Hope this is pre-emptive to you guys potentially getting more work with gorillaz!

Hope the guys see this, you did an amazing job

[yoshimasterleader]

2D and Noodle's relationship is wholesome.

[dano]

That animation is S M O O T H
can't believe how much effort was put into only 27 seconds, respect

[rickxhoshinji]

A Gorillaz cartoon done in this style would be a perfect series.

[dylanmcartoonell]

The Gorillaz need an animated series and you guys should be in charge of it!

"You can't just cherry pick the bits you like" is going to be my new reaction gif.
Really top tier work as always.

[itsCakeChan]

i could just replay the "cherry-pick" animation bit itself on loop and be happy lmfao

[ryderwilliams]

Well this was unexpected and funny at the same time, along with being a great tribute. keep up the amazing work! (Also, noodle is just adorable in your style)

[friendmuffin]

You captured the annoyed sibling energy perfectly 👌

[gmplidk]

I think they know that they released this RIGHT after Gorillaz uploaded

[wispy_nova]

I didn't expect Noodle to hit 2D in the head with that hockey stick.
I couldn't stop laughing, omg! 😂

[VincentMarietheth]

In addition to the stellar, expressive character animation & how well you adapted the Gorillaz's look to your own style, I love the sound design you chose for this. The sound of Noodle hitting 2D with the hockey stick makes me think of El Kabong.

[monkiman]

Love seeing 2D with this much expression but doing it so quietly

[clarinetincense]

man i love your stuff to bits and to see it paired with my favorite band???? HELLO??? what could be better!! <33

[TheCommenterDragon]

Such a lovely and astounding short animation as usual Lopside i love it, everyone did a stupendous job on this!!!

[fnafgurljj]

Even though it’s pretty short, this is probably the best Gorillaz fan animation I’ve seen ❤

[DOCTORDEADHEAD]

I love the fluidity and expressiveness in this! It really captures their characters.
Also, regarding the description, can't say I'm surprised; the influence of Jamie's style really comes through in your designs, especially with Snag I feel lol
