Otherwise known as “Gooseworx is leading an I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream adaptation”
Searched Hexbear just to find a thread on this. God I'm loving this pilot. This is the first animation pilot that's really caught me like this. Like I feel like a kid finding FNAF again. It manages to hit a lot of the notes and feelings that Pibby was going for, but actually executes them in a way that just feels natural instead of corny and forced. The voice work on just sells all of it. I also expected to hate the animation from clips and screenshots, but I absolutely LOVE it in motion.
It reminds me of why I love animation. I know 3D is cheaper, but artistically, there's almost never a real reason to use it over 2d animation. There have been modern examples that show that a blend of 3d with 2d aesthetics (spiderverse) works really well, but this is an unapologetically CGI show. This short could not have been animated in 2d, nor could it have been live action. It's using CGI to actually innovate animation instead of just making it cheaper.
