Remember a similar video on our channel a few years back? This is the prequel!

[watermelon]

this reminds me of Alan Becker's shorts

[XrayTag]

Parents: “Aww, look! They’re drawing stick figures!”
How the kids imagined it:

[its_duckiooo_z]

Why does this brings nostalgia even the I've never seen it before??

[dom]

normally i would be complaining about reusing old content but every time this channel does it just keeps getting better and better

[frostnova]

Imagine Alan Becker came with his godly stick figures

[DEOO.Or.Kingmeww]

I served in the first battle of Stickland, this gives me ptsd

[SwillTheDrill]

The kid whos good at drawing: *”My time has come.”*

[slowpicfilms]

I don’t why I’m so lazy to do my filming journey but watching you guys make me realize it’s not about the equipment

[PenciltipWorkshop]

The crazy part is these "teens" still use AOL and Clippy in 2020

[superngau]

I like how it went from wholesome to chaotic

[hi.jam.]

Let's be honest, no matter the age, we've all either imagined or wished for this..

[ivansfreechannel]

This is the most cool cgi drawing i ever seen in my entire life

[WGWP]

This is one of the coolest videos I seen this month

[gboygamer]

Wait.. the teacher said another mess.. right after he came from the *toilet* what was the first mess... 0_0

[fionngalvin]

Everybody gangsta till the nerd fixes his glases

[ExtraXer]

“Another” Mess-
this was actually pretty good. I feel like the turning animation and the transition were better but all in all, I’d probably watch again!

[davidcho]

also pls make more chalk warfare that was really cool

[Midnight_Oil_MFG.]

I got legitimately scared when the army of evil Clippys showed up.
