I really REALLY hope this series continues.
You can help push towards that wish by liking and sharing this, it's what I'm gonna do cause this was super cute and I also really wish that thus continues on too!
@@Mobslayer-tm9mo trust me I am.
A lot of RUclipsrs had degraded into clout chasing cartoons.
@@haseo8244 what are you talking about? This animation is powered by Passion and love.
Me too
I can't gush enough about how fun it is to voice Maulie - GOSH I hope we get to start on the next one soon!
Thank you so much to everyone for all of the support you're showing for our indie animation, it really means the world.
You did a wonderful job voicing her!
@@midnights2631 Thank youuuU!!!
Im a fan! Drop ur album!
Maulie and your performance MAKES this show. the rest of the cast are no slouches, but as a central protag, I fell in love with the character before they got out of Mr.Latinous' place.
@@sarachampion7588absolutely amazing work
I love how when the Ace of wands theme song starts playing Maulie and Cleveland just treat it like another normal day, like this isn't. The first time this has happened 😂😂😂
It probably isn't even the first time a wizard came in with one
Every wizard should have a theme song
Well he IS an archmage, they have to have a good entrance to make a first impression
I like the unique concept behind a long-living wizard who has completely lost touch with his imagination (tragically contradicting his very motive) and how you explored this the whole episode instead of giving it away at the beginning
I guess wizards can have artist block too.
Isn't his motive just to wreak havoc on the human race?
"Maybe instead we find a buyer who doesn't sleep and has no dreams?"
"Better sign ME up then."
Hits too close to home.
Same.
Get therapy.
@@shinigamiphantom1391 Get therapy.
@@SkylarThompson-mu1qsThe comment was just a joke, relax
What exactly is the joke?@@GINOSAURUS999
Absolutely adored having the privilege and honor to work on this and voice Cleaveland! Travis you really made something TRULY special here and should be very proud my friend!!
You're probably the best Cleaveland in this entire show tbh
really? you sound like James Woods's Hades, for a moment I thought I was listening to him
Indeed
Holy crap dude, you pull off James Woods's voice nearly perfectly.
I've never had a voice bring back my childhood like that.
Good job on voicing Cleveland. If you ever want to work together, please let me know.
Okay but that sequence with the memories making the castle??? Genius, I absolutely adored how creative that was!!
I have to say I appreciate that Maulie is feminine without coming across as bossy or controlling. A great depiction of a working professional female character who isn't incompetent or toxic. Very well done!
I love the little Details - Maulie's ears conveying emotion, and Cleavelan's nose smoking when he's irritated.
I find it interesting she has that common cartoon trope of goat legs having like barely any leg and mostly foot (and like zero shin), and then when she crouches down.. she's just sitting on her heels. It actually sorta works, but it makes the crouch useless XD
Little details like that give a lot of characterization to them. I love it.
Her ears are too big its taking up 1/3 of the screen all the time
Oh wow, "Corpses to clean up" was a really good pun! Hoping to see this become a full series for more fantasy humor like that!
It's more word play but I get what you mean. I also want to see more of this.
As a wise woman once said, "It's not a pun, it's a play on words!"
2:00
@TheNN I'm guessing one involves changing the spelling or phonetics of a word, and the other is simply arranging a sequence of words in a clever and multi-meaningful way?
I don't get it, could you explain it?
I recently purchased a home from the amazing Dungeon Flippers and its just a DREAM! Our place came with its own torture chamber, molten lava moat and wouldnt you know it? Even its own gaggle of fresh humans to terrorize in our basement! As struggling, underfunded overlords from the 12th dimension (Nevada), my wife and I are VERY busy monsters so we dont have time to maim, throttle or even ****** the local millennials in our area.
Thank you so much, Dungeon Flippers! We give you 666 stars!
The Dungeon Flippers gave me new life they recently got me this new place for a kill of a price. Freshly furnished with bones, flesh, and organs all at premium condition, of course (rotting), this changed the lives of me and my 279 trillion children forever
Thanks, Dungeon Flippers
I rate them grobletombus out of 10 stars
I got a great mechanical palace
What better place for a artificer to spend his days planning vengeance then surrounded by mighty copper walls and gears with an unstoppable army of platinum
Best purchase ever
I'll give it
Flumph/10 stars
I am a summoner. Although I am old my sleprite race limits my age to 16. For years I thought that no dungeon could be my home. Most were either too old and boring or too modern for my taste (I have a contradicting nature). As a last resort I contacted Dungeon Flippers and OH. MY. SPELLS. This 13th century inspired castle has everything I need. The outside has a simple but charming look. The inside is renovated to perfection. Not too modern but not too goth either. The rocks are nicely polished, my hands have no trouble navigating it. It even has a self sustaining rat system for my bat summons. 5 out of 5 absolutely Tier S for Summoning.
The little Lady and I were looking for an upgrade from our starter dungeon, but our budget was modest and this market is a killer. The Dungeon Flippers found us an awesome place in a mountain with lots of tunnels, a real waterfall (absolutely necessary for breeding certain kinds of minions), in a neighborhood with no fairies (you know they can do to property value 🙄) and (this is the best part) a rift to the Plane of Earth. Related: anybody know where I can find some kobolds? I hear they're the minion you want for mining
@johntheherbalistg8756 Oh, actually I just found a kobold Nest right next to my dungeon if you know a specialist to come clean it out
Oh boy a new indie animated show.
I sure hope the fan base they eventually gain isn't incredibly toxic and weird.
I assume you mean a certain show about hell?
@Draven_Shadow_Walker if I had a dollar for every indie project with a toxic and weird fan base I'd have atleast dozens of dollars
@@hiitstofu Popular = more people = more possible bad eggs. This is just math.
You get two choices: niche (underfunded and overworked, but genuine) or main (well funded with a team, but bigger, more rabid fanbase that poses the threat of audience capture)
I love the way his voice echoes when the Ace of Wands Looses himself to the Abyss. And how they echo slightly whenever they're in a dungeon or echoey space. The Sound team absolutely knocked it out of the park.
I was really happy with how that came out. thank you!
I really luv how immediately after spending an eternity creating the perfect wand the ace of wands couldn't even manifest a decent dungeon for executing plans within an infinite void that can bend to the will of the user's imagination. It really just goes to show that burnout can completely drain the inspiration and motivation out of even the most creative and determined of minds. Another reason like with many things why you should never be afraid to ask for help or advice on something. Also, IDK if this was their intention or not, but as someone who's probz at least a little bit on the autism spectrum I feel like this is something that people such as myself have an especially hard time struggling with, so I really do appreciate the representation.
@@theprofesionalist7927 Holy cow, that's it! I achieved most of my life's goals pretty quickly after graduating college and have just kind of been drifting for the past few years since then. I feel like I could have anything I want, but I kinda already have everything and I'm still not entirely sure what I want to do with the rest of my life.
That is, of course, my problem to solve, but sometimes it's helpful to see that problem portrayed by a fictional character. Helps give me a bit or perspective.
@@webbowser8834 For me I'm just drifting cuz it's hard to find a job without have any relevant experience. That being said it's gud to see that I'm not the only one who's still struggling after college, even if you are struggling from success! XD
If I were in your position I'd settle down with someone or look into adoption. Raising a family/kids can always put some sense of fulfilling a purpose in your life, but that's just my opinion.
@@theprofesionalist7927 Fair enough. Nice talking to folks.
I like for all that Cleaveland seems to be a more cynical character, he doesn't step on Maulie's dreams of restoring her family's ancestral dungeon to its former glory.
yah, it's nice to have less positive characters who aren't just jerks
also, remember that they've been doing this for hundreds of years, too, lol, if they stepped on each other's dreams I don't think they'd be still doing it together
It's sad that large companies have created so many series with characters that follow these cliché formulas to the point where the only place we can find unique characters like him is indie animations.
I mean, He’s a dragon and he’s working for a real estate company. He might also have dreams of restoring his family’s ancestral dungeon or something.
@@henrysaid9470 only time will tell
the Ace of Wands is a nice commentary on how "overinvesting" in a trait leaves you sort of ... hollow.
Very nice. Would live to see a full show with this level of dedication and quality. VO's did a gread job! Hardly can believe they either did next to nothing before or aren't even VOs! Maully being voiced by a background artist is a nice touch considering her use of magic.
The thing I love is just how many of the puns feel natural in this world. They arent forced zingers, but just natural play on words or self inserting humor with commonish occurances.
As someone who has bought their current dungeon from the Dungeon Flippers, I have to say that their services are a 10/10! They have found for me this incredible, liminal-looking space beneath an abandoned kingdom! Apparently, there was this guy that I've never heard of who did some really shadey stuff with ppls memories, but that just made my new home even cheaper!
The whole place is perfectively empty, the geometry folds in on itself, every room looks like the feeling of deja-vu, and yet it is completely and utterly wrong! I have seen every corner of this place, and yet I still find places that I have never known of in areas that I see daily! I do not know if I'm alone or if there's something behind me!
I have no memory of this place! I have never bought this place! I have always been in this place! This place is my childood bedroom! This place is the house that I grew up in! This place is your house! This place is where I will be raising my kids! This place is were my kids will raise their kids! I will never leave this place! I will never die in this place! I am a part of this place! This place is made of leaves and its floorplan was drawn by me as a child, long before my first memory of my home! This place is not my home! This place is my house!
Needless to say, I have yet to see any pesky adventures make it past the door! 10/10, would recommend!
EDIT: spelling mystakes.
You mean SPELLing mistakes.
Wasn't expecting to go up 5 cuil levels while reading this. Pleasant surprise, would experience again.
Help I am stuck in here too! I’m well… I think I was an adventurous fellow. Every time I find a way out it’s a dead end where the exit is a cardboard cutout. It’s annoying! There’s no sense of time in here and I keep watching this crazy person go by in this maze. I feel like they know I’m watching them but I avoid the whole confrontation thing because I don’t know how dangerous they are and don’t want to find out. Originally I was just minding my own business walking through a cave until my torch went out and I was stumbling around until I saw some light in the distance. So now I’m here and yeah? … wait why am I whispering to myself about this? Oh right some wizards can mind read and might save me. That would be nice…..What was I doing again? Oh yeah!
Looks over to a looming figure staring creepy and confused.
Maulie: "We just knew you'd be suspended in a web of unintelligible, potentially imagined nostalgia here. We're so pleased to have helped you find the perfect home for yourself and any unsuspecting passers-by who stand no chance of escape! Oh - and if you're looking to invite family to live nearby for all those kids raising kids (it does take a village after all) -- I really think the castle in that kingdom above you could be renovated into a very classy MIL suite with a TON of square footage."
@@sarachampion7588 🤪😆😉
The art is amazing!!! The voices are amazing!!! I can't wait to see where this goes!
This is AMASSING!! the animation is fluid and bouncy. The characters are filled with potential and bubbling with emotion. not to mention the whole premise of the show is IMMACULATE.
This is amazing!!! It has such heart!!! I'm so invested in Maulie! Amazing job everyone involved!
If DBI is impressed, you know it's good.
DBI spotted 👀
These Indie animation series are way more interesting and enjoyable to watch than the ones in the big companies!
And indie animators make what they want, not what companies want them to show.
I love it when shows like this one put a twist on the classic fantasy genre I really hope this series gets continued!
This needs to continue as a full series. Love the dynamic between Maulie and Cleveland. It feels like he's taking the new hire under his wing but instead of always getting annoyed he really wants to help her
"I've learned enough from what he hates to discover what he'll love."
If only the RUclips algorithm were this good.
😂
Do not speak of them, if they find this gem they may take it away.😅
Maulie is the first manticore to be a precious cinnamon roll, and I'd love to see her reach her goal as a real estate agent.
I know she is amazing
Maybe not quite a cinnamon roll, but there was a good manticore in Disney's Onward.
That movie went under a lot of people's radars, but I think it was alright.
She's definitely the first manticore I want to give a hug
Meanwhile tiny manticore from adventure time
@@theplague5803”Help me you coward!”
Damn, this was so nice. I liked it a lot, that there were no "wrong" or "bad" creatures, just different ones.
Imagine liking something so much you make a show about it.
Could be me.
The void seems like a double edged place to live
Seems like it only takes having a bad day or having intrusive thoughts for it to go really really badly
my POCD could never lol
Reminds me of the Room of Refinement from Hogwarts Legacy.
One thing that really stands out from me besides how awesome everything else is the sound design. It's so clean and the sound effects help to make the world more tangible, like Maulie putting her paws together, you can hear it just a little. Plus her voice actor is amazing, it's like I can hear the fangs in her mouth, like how the characters in the Lion King SOUND like lions... y’know?
What a lovely compliment, thank you!! (I had the immense privilege of voicing Maulie.) She is always so fun to step into the shoes of!
You made me think "Do they actually sound like lions in Lion King?" and then I realized I never saw it with the original English voice acting.
Knowing of course that lions don't speak, I don't know what they mean when they say anyone sounds like lions.
@Ducky69247
On the off chance you're not being facetious, it's referring to how one would anticipate a lion to sound if they could speak like humans.
With humans, you can actually tell a lot by voice, with age being the most obvious. Sometimes, you can tell someone's size, whether they're on specific medications (opiates tend to change how tissues respond which can help quell coughing, but also change how your vocal cords sound), and so on. There are many subconscious traits we don't even realize we notice, too.
Most people would probably imagine a lion having a husky, rumbling voice, such as Mufasa or Sarabi, for some examples. The teeth of the animal would absolutely play a role in how they might speak, as well as their snout. Larger animals would sound different to smaller animals. The list goes on.
@@ElysetheEevee no, not being facetious, but still not going to read a novel about how you feel about what you said
This is so cute!!! I love Maulie! Hope this gets to keep going and we get to see more.
I LOVE when youtube recommends me actually amazing things. Let's make the miracle for this pilot to become series.
I love how this pilot gives us enough information to understand the show without shoving too much in our faces. It perfectly lets us understand the first two characters, the premise and the structure, but stillleaves us with lots to chew on for future installments.
It is so refreshing to see a show that uses witty comedy without abusing it every minute. Cant wait for the next episode 😊
"You go ahead, I've got something I need to do first..." *proceeds to build a castle* 😂😂
This is so good! I'm totally hooked. Maulie is Best Girl and Cleaveland is so supportive of his friend. Your storytelling and animation are incredible and you can really feel the love that went into this. Thank you for sharing your vision!
Ace of Wands has a very adorable design. Like when he was smiling at the end, it made him look both vulnerable and cute.
The dynamic Cleaveland and Maulie have is really entertaining!
That animation where maulie carries those sticks and that carriage is great
I really really really enjoyed this, far more than I'd expect!
The style, the animation, the subtle touches in how characters move about, THE NAMES, the visual accompaniment to gags, the voices are all so neat and interesting, the music..... Everything looks like it just clicked together.
Fantastic work!
"And I gotta tell you, it was perfect. Perfect. Everything. Down to the last minute details"
God, I want to wake in the morning, grab some cereal, and turn on the TV, and watch this show while eating. It's really hitting all this great notes for a cartoon! The kid in me is loving the animation and charm, while the adult in me is laughing and dreading at a customer who's obviously going to be a problem. Hope there's more to come! And please let me do all I can to help out Maulie, I love her energy, and Cleaveland being a perfect character for her to bounce off of!
This is really all a man could want from an animation. great story and plot, and better execution
Maulie is just the cutest, sweetest, purest, bestest real-estate agent ever!
A show about Fantasy Monsters selling dungeons as homes to other Fantasy Monsters is a very creative idea. Congrats on the launch of the pilot and here's to hoping that more episodes get produced in the future. 👍🎉
if you like the concept you should give "Dragon goes house hunting" a try. Pretty much same base concept and funny too. ^v^
So glad that it's finally here! Also, I love Maulie's design and how she runs on all fours at 1:47 7:37 7:53 !
omg me too - that's so fun!
I love magical & medieval type settings, I hope this series continues.
I am now occupied. Liking and commenting to please the mighty algorythm.
Same!
Me too!
Well.let me help you, my friend, in this noble endeavor to make this masterpiece seen to all who should witness it.
Yipee!
I shall join you!
This is an incredible pilot with a unique premise that has loads of potential for future stories! The animation is incredibly professional, the music was incredibly whimsical, and all the voices were spot on! Sara Champion was the perfect mix of optimistic charm and mystical manticore! Casey Chadwick was loveably sly and slick! Ryan Desrosiers was the perfect voice for an all imposing wizard that just wants to find his place in the world. Jake Dieli did a phenomenal job on the ethereal music! As did Gustav Holst and Travis Fowler! Congratulations on getting the pilot out and I hope you all can receive well deserved success!
Maulie's character design and voice are PERFECT.
Sje could look less like a gorilla and more like a female but well that's sexist these days
I had my doubts before watching this, but they were all stepped once I saw the glorious beauty of this animation
A complete story with actual character development in less time most shows take to explain basic known concepts. Amazing work.
This is GOOD, pls RUclips, recommend this to everyone ong
Maurie has to be my favourite! I hope she’d be able to build that dungeon of hers. Keep up the good work, loving this!💗
Consider me charmed and invested! For such a fantastical setting the story and characters feel delightfully down to earth and immediately likeable. The comedy is a quieter sort but it had me smiling throughout.
I love the feeling of this pilot and the potential it shows. Really hope this gets picked up because I would absolutely love to see some more monstrous real estate and to see how Maulie’s quest to restore her family Dungeon pans out!
That manticore lady is the BEST kind of character. my eyes were always drawn to her and her actions. I'm really looking forward to more of this show!
Bruh she was the reason I started watching. I look at thw thumbnail and said to myself....Huh..This looks interesting.
i love how fluid everyone is, how much detail is put into every inch of every scene. you never made even a microsecond feel untouched by passion. i'm excited to see more of this! especially maulie!
5:33 Been a while since I've seen a rimshot itself be a good joke.
This video deserves WAY more views than it has!
I watched this with my 6 year old brother, and he's been begging me to put on another episode! You've got both of us absolutely enamored! I'll definitely put in a donation when I can!
I really love these sorts of series that apply a more "modern" tone to Fantasy Dungeon/Adventuring settings
This was wonderful! Beautiful little story that was told. The characters are unique and engaging and relatable. Very adorable over all. And the music is absolutely fantastic! Keep up the amazing work guys
I really like the... Kinda slow pace of this? It's not overly energetic as some media try to be now, and this pilot gives viewer time to immerse themselves into the world. Very cool.
I know I'm pretty late, but I must say this series deserves way more views than it currently has. The art style is incredible, Maulie and Cleaveland are such amazing characters and are just so lovable and likeable, you can't help but want to see more of them. I really hope this show gets much more attention and love. Well done to the Dungeon Flippers!
Aahhhhh!!! Congratulations to the entire team!! The characters are so much fun, the premise is genius, and the animation is GORGEOUS.
Wonderful job all around! 🦁🐲
Man, knowing that one day you can't possibly watch all the amazing indie shows on yt is PAINNN.
But gotta support as much as we can!!
This is a great time for Indie animations. With Helluva Boss, Amazing Digital Circus, Ramshackle, Lackadaisy and more paving the way, I'm excited to see what comes next, and I hope Dungeon Flippers finds the same success. I loved it!
I love this kind of premise that comes from the monsters perspective. Love the character designs and more so I like how NOT frantic this show is compared to a LOT of other modern animation.
Also Maulie's run cycle kills me, lol!
monsters/non-humans in slice of life scenarios is a gem for animation and all the more the merrier, and I think the theme of finding a home or helping people find theirs is such a wonderful premise, and i was not expecting the music to be so mesmerising. best of luck on all your future endeavours, both the animators and voice actors ^^
if you like the Premise you should give "Dragon goes house hunting" a try. :)
@@mermidion7552 I read the manga some time ago ^^ been meaning to watch the anime, monsters as main characters is always a win for me and manticores are heavily underrated ^^
Molly and Cleveland having to get access to a "world gated" community is hilarious.
this is amazing,amazing acting, animation, storyline, music, everything, well done to all of you that worked on it
i love Maulie’s character she is such a sweetheart with a gift for real estate. This series has amazing potential love to see more episodes.
Its criminal that this pilot doesnt have over a million views yet
I'm not surprised, it looks pretty forgettable
This was such a cute pilot and I hope I can see more of these two lil gremlins!! ^^
Such a cool premise, love this show already. Major thanks to the team of awesome people that created it for us to enjoy. 😊
Maulie singlehandedly became my new favourite Indie Animation character, she's just so adorable!
Commenting for the algorithm, but this series got recommended via Tumblr. This is an incredibly charming pilot, the animation is very clean and pleasing to look at, and I love the idea of “morbid fantasy monsters meets quaint real life occupation”. Maulie is a total sweetheart but I also like how Cleaveland is still a good supportive friend despite being a little more sarcastic sometimes; they have a great dynamic. I genuinely hope this kicks off to a great reception because honestly, I’m excited to see more of this and happy to see the potential of more creators uploading to RUclips and keeping full control of the reigns on their projects.
3:02: Ace of Wands Theme
13:10- Ace of Wands Theme (reprise)
Excellent job with everything! I’ve been relistening to this for like an hour!
This is FANTASTIC! Such an original idea for a series. Can’t wait to see more! 😁
The joke rimshot with a wooden bucket is such a fun gag, love the energy of this, and do hope it gets more attention and/or continuation!
I had to watch that one twice, it cracked me up!
Lmao might just have to fund episode 2! Amazing work
Please dont make this into one of your comic dubs
You’re a weirdo
@@Whatever_Channelingignore this one...MAKE AS MUCH "ARTWORK" AS POSSIBLE.
I've never seen much bearded lady art
This is such a fun duo to watch - they balance each other out so well! And despite Cleaveland being the more grounded of the two, the fact that he's 100% in to help Maulie with her dreams is so wholesome
I already love this SO MUCH! The concept, the designs, the narrative, the little details, just EVERYTHING!!!
The use of Tarot here is PERFECT 😊
I managed to sneak in the Ace through the 10 of Wands on all the story beats! That and the episode goes from reversed Ace of Wands to upright over the course of episode. Yep, this was a VERY tarot pilot!
I am so happy that's being noticed!!! Such fun easter eggs. (And perfect for releasing on the solstice!!)
This was fantastic! The animation.. the voice acting... the PACING! Such a unique concept for a show. I hope you guys continue!
An amazing project and animation. I personally adore the Ace of Wand's entrance chorus. It's just magical. Kudos to the team.
I wish this was a series also I'm glad the wizard is happy
Great first episode. The Void had a really neat concept and our main characters are as endearing as I hoped they'd be. Very interested to see if "the team" that Cleaveland mentioned will get expanded upon.
Same. Some other videos show character concept that might be them
This is giving a happy feeling if im reviewing. It feels like. A actual animation i want to see for future generations. I wanna actually compare but please dont take offense or anything negative . But i wanna say this is really giving that king of the hill joy i love to watch again. Nothing extreme, no violence that is grusome, and no ridiculous rants and foul mouthing. Just calm and honest to its core! Please keep making this and i will call dungeon flippers ti help me find a home ! Thank you
OMG! Thank you! 😭♥ Also, lol, KotH is one of my all time favs!
@@dungeonflippers2970 Np there. The scenary and its colorful characters are vibing to the story. I love how settling and peacful it can feel. It brings somehow a 1990’s like cartoons that can literally make a real estate manticore into a real like character in this planet. Keep at it. And dont stop building her dreams! One brick at a time!
My God, it's wonderful... It's wonderful! How does this have under a million views??
Excellent! Charming art style, steady pacing, charismatic voice cast, fitting music and a great plot. I can’t wait for more.
Black Rock is the scariest Warlock of all time.
THIS PILOT IS SO GOOD AND THE CHARACTERS FEEL LIKE A BREATH OF FRESH AIR 😩??!! like they are grounded and not toxically positive like every other show and I LOVE THAT
I love that maulie is part goat lion and human so her pupils are so expressive being able to go from horizontal to vertical
THAT was actually a insanely good quality animation, congratulations for everyone that worked on this, that was impressive
Welp, time to add another Cute Molly to the list of wholesome protags.
Gotta give the W to everyone who worked on this master piece!!! 🔥
Maulie's double rows of teeth look so good-that must have been tricky to pull off! One of the most iconic manticore features :D
This is the show I am now most excited for by FAR
I loved this pilot!!! It was even better than I hoped. Maulie’s struggle to find the perfect house for the Ace of Wands was a great way to establish her character as not only an estate salesperson but also as a person. Cleveland as well always in to the side but never out of focus as he helps Maulie deal with her struggles and is not afraid to call her out for any mistakes. We only got glimpses of who Cleveland is but what we have now pretty well established him as the calm and experienced mentor and partner to Maulie and her eager optimism and frustrations that it leads to.
Overall, great job with this pilot and I would love to watch even more of this as a series.
