The leap of faith scene is one of the most most besutiful scene in amination

[Phalit]

Every second of this movie could be used as a wallpaper

[aronreviour]

I'd watch a 50 minute episode - nine part series of the animators just telling me how they pulled it off.

[kojiyaw]

The part where Peter and Miles was out of sync but then eventually becomes in sync was absolutely genius.

[luuketaylor]

This really made me *FEEL* like I entered the Spider-Verse.

[donovan]

You can honestly feel the love and dedication they put into this movie and I absolutely love it

[RandumbComNtary]

I will always love that little moment when Peter B. Parker puts his hand over his mouth in shock as Doc Oc gets hit by the that truck/bus in front of them. Just hilarious

I've been saying this since I saw the movie: THIS is direction animation should be headed. This movie showed us the possibilities for animation. This showed us how the genre could be pushed in new ways. This movie was a defining shift in the way animation is done, and I'm glad I was here to see it :)

[corahelseth]

There is literally nothing wrong with this movie, like everything is perfect

[nehaal]

Who's here after watching Across The Spider-verse? They took this and cranked it 100x and it was the most beautiful thing ever!

[IWasBornBe]

Y’all: “you might be looking at the train, you be looking at miles”

Me: *stares directly at THE POLES*

[foldingtables]

dont forget the background sound tracks !! it really fit in with the situations and i really felt the sound when miles’ uncle was chasing him

[SAkURAYOWA]

This project is every animator’s dream. ✨

[TunaBagels]

Spiderverse was an artistic masterpiece and will be studied by every competent animator for decades to come.

[AntTonyLOLKID]

Seriously hope this starts a new revolution of animation, in beautifully combining the 3d with the 2d.

[TeChMNuAloJuNkiE]

The lego movie look liked the toys came alive. The Spider-Verse look liked the comics came alive.

[ADSheehan]

It's pretty rare to find a perfect movie, rarer still to find one as technically innovative as it is tightly written, beautifully shot, and deeply acted. This is truly a special piece, and it's amazing to see the care they put into making it. I can't wait to see what these guys do next.

[ElinaNoodles]

This movie really sets the gold standard for animated movies. It shows how people take an idea, innovate it, and adapt it. I *especially* love the concept of using simple line movements to make blunt areas look more detailed

[riveramnell]

This movie was ridiculously gorgeous. I cannot get over how beautiful and how comic book-like it really is. Think I’ll go watch it again...

[bigollytg]

They used varying frame rates in the same shot to enhance character dynamics.... God a bloody adore this film!!!
