Willow: singing like a disney princess

This is adorable oml
The little flash of Dana's reaction to Huntlow was freaking hilarious
The little palisman helping them out was also adorable, I love this so much ;W;

I said this on Twitter and I’ll say it here: the detail of “Willow and Hunter” being made from abominations and illusions respectively at the beginning of the chorus, and then a plant Hunter appearing, showing it’s Willow’s creation, and that she’s subconsciously aware she does like Hunter! Love it (+ Gus Choir is always a win)

[VALT_XION_Animation]

I love Gus's illusions and Amity's abominations. This animatic is absolutely perfection.

[benjamincoyle]

It is silly, and sweet, but not cringe. I love how well your art matches with the song. The vine Hunter gives me serious Disney princess vibes.

[dovefilms]

this animatic has finally converted to me to a fullblown huntlow shipper this was literally too perfect

[mchia]

OH GOD. THE WAY YOU EXPLORED WILLOW'S INSECURITIES BETTER THAN THE SHOW LMAO

[selineabanto]

dana in the crystal ball gets me every time 😭😭 this so good!! cryin tears of joy

[CamTheGalaxy]

I love absolutely EVERYTHING about this. The song choice. The Gus choir. The illusion Hunter and abomination WIllow. The plant Hunter. Dana in the crystal ball. The SEAMLESS cut out of the miserable wife line! Amity having to drag Gus out to stop him from spoiling the moment. All absolutely wonderful.

the EXPRESSIONS in this are so alive I love it. So silly.

[liubavasemenkova]

My jaw is on the floor. Someone please bring it back while i loop this master piece

[charliegreen]

This is so cute😭

I don’t think Willow would have any reason to be worried tho. I could totally see it playing out as Willow dropping hints and Hunter blushing but doubting himself cause he’s got no self-esteem until finally Willow is sick of being patient and just makes the first move straight up and asks him out and Hunter has no idea why his heart feels like it’s exploding because he’s never been exposed to love before.

Petition for Gus to join Broadway right now as all of ensemble and cast everything

[furrymczplayer]

The fact that it is pretty much confirmed we WOULD have gotten a huntlow episode, where we finally see willow break down like she did in For The Future, except it wouldn't be rushed to hell and back like it was in that episode, and Hunter would've probably been the one to help her control her emotions...
DAMN IT DISNEY WHY THE HELL DID THEY HAVE TO CANCEL SUCH A BRILLIANT SHOW

[Hoooowler]

southern willow is something i kinda wish was a thing

[BarelyAHuman]

I am sorry but Gus's illusions being the chore like they were the muses from Hercules make me die of laughter 😂 I love the animation and your artistyle is really lovely♥️♥️ As an Huntlow shipper you really gave justice to this pair!

[lilag]

WILLOWS MAGIC MAKING A HUNTER SHAPE IS SO COOL

AND THEN GUS' ILLUSIONS OMG

[Marshee_melo]

CRYING SCREAMING THROWING UP THAT ILLUSION/ABOMINATION DANCE WAS THE CUTEST THING I'VE SEEN IN *MONTHS* THIS ANIMATIC GAVE 5 YEARS OF LIFE.

[valorianknight]

It's the smug flapjack at 1:53 for me

[los-lpsas]
