@arcade@commune.anarchist.gay @andybaio@xoxo.zone oh my god they drew dicks all over it

@andybaio @curved_ruler They should commit to the concept by having different people dub every line

@andybaio @curved_ruler
I know a few people who would do voice lines. How would we submit them?

@andybaio my thoughts:
- "this is the most worthless waste of time ever"
- *hauls out Wacom*
- is disappointed to get a message that all the frames have been drawn

@nev @andybaio haha I love the idea but why this movie? Isn't it really bad?

nev

@stragu @andybaio yes, it is terrible.

However it is kind of a meme so that's why

The Bee Movie!
Ants!
Bugs Life!

You would think it was a paradise of movies about social hymenopterans, but really it was the hell that forged me into the woman I am today. (they only did it because they thought insects were "early CGI friendly" also a bad notion.)

Not one of these movies was brave enough to make all the bees or ants female! It's criminal.

Gotta have a male protagonist.

Really? Well then he should do nothing but look for a mate AND DIE.

If Nemo's mom was dead his dad should have been female and his new mom by the end of the movie!

The female is always the oldest and biggest clownfish, the male is the next largest and the rest are just... waiting their turn.

I guess, Nemo probably should have worked on finding his own anemone to live in too... otherwise things could get weird even for my tastes.

@futurebird @andybaio @stragu it would have been about Marlin the newly ascended mom going to find Nemo, her wifeson

@nev @andybaio @stragu

Sounds like more of a "direct to video" kind of thing.

@futurebird @nev @andybaio @stragu I did not have “learn about Sequential hermaphroditism” on my Bingo card for today.

@bh913 @futurebird @nev @andybaio @stragu neither did I but here we go, thanks for that I really enjoyed it

@futurebird @andybaio @stragu @nev you know….I would watch a movie that keeps accurate to irl big biology.

Mike Cahn

@futurebird @andybaio @stragu @nev as a beekeeper watching the bee.movie with my kids, I kept pointing out all the inaccuracies, much to my kids' annoyance. Number one: *all* the workers in a honey bee colony are female.

@andybaio

Good lord, why not a good movie.

It would be neat to do this but allowing scanned collages and such instead of just MSPaint. It'd take longer of course.

Potato ENTHUSIAST

@andybaio

It says "ALL FRAMES have been drawn!!!"
So, done?

Miah Johnson

@andybaio I'm in awe. It looks like its done? I'm sad I didn't get to draw a frame. I'm excited to watch what all the worker bees have created.

Eibriel

@andybaio They may be doing cleanning up, because I got a frame to draw even when previously said all frames done.

Nick Fox-Gieg

@andybaio Can we pair this with the alternate soundtrack made for The ASMR Bee Movie

Void (Sigma Male)

@andybaio already finished lol. Waiting on editing

IAG

@andybaio It's finished! Nice work everyone!

gavinisdie :troll:

@andybaio God I wish I could copy and paste the entire bee movie script here

Yuki 膤 :heart_trans:​

@andybaio I managed to get a frame even thought everyone said it ran out, refresh, maybe

OOPSAllPakleds!

@andybaio I remember when GibiASMR and her friends did something similar… but with ASMR, of course.

maloki 🍍:ghostbat:

@andybaio link told me it's already been drawn! All the frames.

sakuramochi55

@andybaio I remember when some dude on youtube dubbed the whole bee movie to Gangsta's Paradise and also used a very interesting filter on the entirety of it. It was wild.

ambersz

Ah all drawn already? Shame they don't accept multiple drawings of the same frame like The Johnny Cash Project did

i hope to one day make something even a fraction as good as this

Amanda

@andybaio i just find it really funny that a real person spent time uploading this movie but it gets slighly faster everytime someone says bee

Amanda

@andybaio dreamworks should be proud it gets better everytime they say bee

Entikan

@andybaio Nice idea, but something tells me it'll end up mostly an animated swastika covered in n-words.

foxop

@andybaio this must be a sin in the bible of some sorts

Andyzeduck

@andybaio a shocks already done! Cannot wait to see the results

Alan Smith :ablobfoxbongo:

@andybaio what if someone drew every frame by themselves. Like as a form of learning/practice? I wonder if that’s been done before :blobfoxthonking:
