Calvin and Hobbes Dance

This is a fan interpretation of Calvin and Hobbes' dance moves, made by Adam Brown.

The music is 'April Showers' by ProleteR

and here are the dance moves referenced from the comic:

This is the best Calvin and Hobbes animation I've ever seen.

I’ll never forget in one of his books, there was a strip where Calvin didn’t want to stop playing but had to go to bed and Hobbes said “we can just play in our dreams!” and then caption underneath talked about how Bill had a pet that he loved that died, but it’s okay, since they can always meet up in dreams. That one always gets me.

this person who animated this video, has fulfilled my childhood by making them move. when I was a child I'd always wanted them to move and when I discovered someone did it made me feel like a small boy again, thank you Adam brown and please make more

I feel like an actual Calvin & Hobbes comic just came to life in front of my eyes. Didn’t look weird, didn’t look forced, and the art style stayed the same like that of the comics. Man I can’t put into words how much I love this.

[ChrisGuerra]

The nice thing about this is that all of those poses were actually drawn by Bill Watterson himself. There's an entire comic with every move in this dance in the exact same sequence. This is an homage. Well done.

either he's playing classical music at 78 rpm or i'm still dreaming

[maglot]

Never apologize for making something awesome.

The lack of a Calvin and Hobbes animated series is both understandable and infuriating

[cigoLxeL]

*Bill Watterson:* "You can't animate my creation, because you'd have to give Calvin a voice."

*Adam Brown:* "With respect, sir, you're only half-right about that."

[capitalv]

As an adult Hobbes just feels so comforting and familiar to me, as if he is a childhood friend that I’ve never lost contact with.

[samoohtheman]

"It's hard to be a mom for a mom."

"You do fine sweetie."

[BlueEyes]

This is the best animation I've ever seen of Calvin and Hobbes. The fact they don't speak people can't get mad that the voices are wrong and they move smoothly and it literally makes me smile just watching it

[normalhuman]

Tbh I’m glad Calvin and Hobbes hasn’t been destroyed by some modern adaptations

[infinityforever]

Ngl, this is basically the best and ideal way to animate Calvin and Hobbes. No voice actors, music just playing over, and nice stylistic animation that perfectly matches the original. Wonderful job.

[wiersandlines]

I appreciate that you apologized to bill at the end, knowing he stopped doing the strip for fear of it losing itself.

At least that’s what I’m inferring

[Juliana-dukk]

I’m sure Bill would forgive this. I bet he was worried big companies would be able to twist his work, just like Peanuts. But this? This is not only fan made, but packed with love. Oh, he would love this!

[herothecrow]

Everything associated with this comic is a work of art, I swear

Bill Watterson disapproved of an animated series, but I think this would put a smile on his face.

[TraustiGeir]

This never fails to bring a smile to my face.

[romancapulus]

“Apologies to bill watson”
Dude, never apologize for bringing my childhood to life

After 7 years, I finally stumbled upon this gem.

You've brought me back to my days in elementary school, ordering books from Scholastic catalogues and reading Calvin and Hobbes obsessively in my room. They were my dad's, but I kept them like they were my own. It's like a fresh breath of air back from when everything seemed so new and unlimited to me.

Thank you
