Choice | Ducktales 2017/Astro B.O.Y.D! Animation Meme

DISCLAIMER: A possible slight flashing light warning for this video! There's some slightly intense flashes here and there. (Mainly one at 0:16) Not entirely sure if it's enough to mess with any photosensitivity but I figured I'd still give a heads up!
My rabid insatiable obsession with a cartoon reboot about ducks (one episode in particular) gets the better of me once again.
Woo! The editing for this took way quicker than I expected! I've been working at this meme for a good while (probably a month or two?) to de-stress between and during online classes. I haven't animated in a good while, and this is technically my second ever completed animation! (Outside of animatic/storyboard) Crazy huh? I'm actually really proud of the result too!
I can't possibly describe just how much this show, this episode, and ESPECIALLY this damn character means to me. I really miss Ducktales 2017 and Gyro more and more every day, man. I've been wanting to make an animation based around the episode "Astro B.O.Y.D!" for ages, but I wasn't sure just what to do for it. That was until I took a listen to Jack Stauber's "Choice"! I love Jack Stauber's music, and this song just kinda fits with Gyro and his arc throughout Astro B.O.Y.D! in a weird Jack Stauber-y way. I love this cartoon chicken way too much for my own good, help-

I love Gyro so much too and I’m missing the show every day. This is a lovely tribute to one of my favorite episodes in the show.

[@GyroScrewloose22]

Gyros trauma is so overlooked it's likely that based on how scared gyro was of dr Akita that he could have been abused by him and gyro could have been as young as 14 because that's the legal age that you can start interning for someone so it's likely that he was really young when this all happened and it explains why he always defends his inventions because he doesn't want to believe that they are evil out of fear of that happening again. Astro b.o.y.d really explains a lot of gyros behavior towards everyone. I love gyro so much he deserves the world

Im on a journey to find Gyro angst and this is the first and almost only thing Ive found T^T

[@GyroScrewloose22]

@@itz.me.the.idiot_ me too I absolutely love Gyro angst, I've seen lots of things on tumblr with Gyro angst and there have been some fan fictions I've read on ao3 with pretty good angst

[@itz.me.the.idiot_]

​@@GyroScrewloose22Ooo thx for the suggestion! ^_^

[@IDislikeHandles]

Oh man I'm gonna cry. This is a great song pick for Gyro and the bot boys. I really like the part where you list out the blueprints and then cut to Lil Bulb's/Boyd's viewpoint, it's jarring in a good way that really fits the tone. Good job!
