FRIENDS / original animation meme

I know i started this one a month or 2 ago, but because of school i didn't have the chance to finish it and put it aside.
I managed to finish it in the last two days so I hope you like it :)

Hey guys!
I know that there are and will be comments like “uh this is not the original one”
Yes, the song may be the same, but the ideas are different.

girl: "we're just friends"
a good amount of this comment section: *_"oMG I SHIP ITTT"_*

My childhood.. i was looking for this video for ages and now I've found it again.

0:15 lol he has the face like "did she really just start singing..."

[Katrinci]

This is so good!! I really love how you animate body language and expressions, they're always top notch!

Teacher : Spell your friend’s name

I don't comment on videos often, but I really feel the need to here. The facial expressions in this (and mouth sync) are phenomenal and incredibly satisfying. I feel the animation really captures the feeling of the song extremely well, even better than the official animated music video does. Basically "a close friend with a long history who keeps hearing 'No' but keeps convincing himself she doesn't really mean it / is just playing hard to get to toy with him."

In one minute you can feel the long history these two characters have had (especially through the very creative use of the background scenes). I don't know how you did that so well. No other animation I've seen on this song has captured the same level of emotional authenticity that this one has managed to achieve. Truly inspiring work. Hope to see more from you. +1 Sub

[nattiebats]

Holy crap this is actually the best animation meme I’ve ever seen! I could go on and on about how amazing this is, but to put it short, the movement, the liveliness, and just the feel of it overall just make me want to DIE!!!, !, auuugh I can’t explain how much I love this! It feels like an actual show! Great job! Love your characters
edit: Thanks so much for the likes! :)

Hun, you and your work are really something to look up to for beginners and present animators. Keep up the good work, i look forward to seeing more from you. <3

[simonkids]

Alot of people are saying this, so it doesn't make this comment any different, but the movement and the facial expressions are incredible.My mom is a social skills teacher, so I know all about facial expression and body language. And this, wow. Just wow. It makes me speechless about how amazing this is. I applaud you, and many others do too! :-)

[bunbuni]

aaaa such good animation <3 i especially like how u put the caharacters in an actual scenery instead in the random void of colors us memers usually do LOL

[sandatanidamocles]

Heard the song randomly, made me nostalgic but unsure exactly why.

Searched for the song + animatic, this pops up, and it’s like a teenage core memory just unlocked. Nice.

[MMDRen]

Creative, different, and not too repetitive, so that makes this REALLY enjoyable to me.
This is coming from someone who absolutely hates animation memes, but no matter how much I hate them, you seem to always come through with your animations. Honestly you need more attention. 👏🏽👏🏽

[gracemetri]

I can't help but feel that at 0:56 it needs "FRIENDS" in a pretty font above her like in SpongeBob when he did the rainbow that one time.

[mono_crow_]

This animation is smoother than spaghetti.





Wait what.😐

[adoriiah]

aw but they're so cute together.

edit: holy heccing macaroni sandwich tysm for 744 views!!!!

edit 2: I meant likes not views lmao.

[admiral_m_k]

What sets this apart from most animation memes is it has an actual narrative and shows explicitly characters in a story. This is an example of true animation.

[GrambertMoore]

I love how literally Every Russian person on YouTube can animate like it’s a professional studio
