People don't realize how long these videos take. This video has been in the making for months, not to mention all the obstacles you had to overcome. Yet you still delivered on every aspect of the video and more, like always. Now that's what I call a CITRINE MOMENT
There's no way you got Daniel Krafft! This is insane. Love both the animations. It just shows (especially in the second one) that you can still get the emotion and point across through the animation without "bending" the joints. Absolutely love it
This is peak animation! Just trying to wrap my head around how much time and effort and computing power this took to make is insane. It’s so cool to get a glimpse at how it all comes together on your end, because as 3d artists seeing great works in the community drives us all to push on for bigger and better. Well done!
Your animation has to be one of the best CGI animated Brickfilms I'VE EVER SEEN! I've always wanted to know how Ninjago: Masters Of Spinjitzu would've looked like if it was brickbuilt. You completely captured the aesthetic of the "Final Battle" episodes, haven't seen the season in a long time, but the visual of the ninja's suit colors and elements shining on an extremely dark sky is my biggest memory of the season finale, something that Season 15 "Crystalized" aesthetically failed at when doing the real Final Battle against the Overlord. The Spinjitzu animation complements that idea, the energy shines in the dark like gold, we also see Sensei Wu, Misako and Dr. Julien on the Ultradragon and that legendary scene where Dareth wears the Stone Army's helmet, this is pure nostalgia! Thank you so much for making this animation, it absolutely fills me with joy.
As a 3D animator/and huge ninjago fan myself, I must say I am really impressed, you did an Incredible Job lad! I am sadly not able to animate ninjago myself since I have no ninjago models myself and can’t model, but it’s really amazing what you guys just made there! :p
Definitely loved yours! It would be awesome to get all the seasons reanimated like this. Imagine stuff like the Nindroids or the tournament of elements with this!
As a Ninjago fan, you have exceeded any expectations I've had. You're gonna make us Ninjago Brickfilmers obselete pretty soon. 😂 And I love that Spinjitzu effect!
Can we appreciate the way the tornadoes look for a minute? They are so accurate to the way Willfilm animated them with an added effect of cool and vibrant, glow lighting! Awesome Job Citrine!
Gah that looked so incredibly smooth and fluent!!! The animation is literally godly dude I loved them both and I loved the spinjitzu affect I wish that could be achieved in Lego stop motion animation because I would use that every time! Once again great work can’t wait to see what’s next!
Bro I’ve been watching Ninjago for so long and the fact that you took the time to do this makes me so happy, and I’m sure that a lot of other Ninjago fans feel this way too! Also anybody else sad that Ninjago is possibly ending soon? 😢
Man I can’t believe I’m stumbling upon this masterpiece a year later! Props to you man, the recreation of the scene looked stellar! It is really good to see my childhood is still very much alive :)
This video came in in my recommended several times but I always ignored it because I thought it would just be a 9 minute long talking video but then I saw your side by side comparison in RUclips shorts so I knew I just had to watch the full thing and my thoughts are this is incredible and I am so happy that this exists
The first one won. Only thing that took away for me was the lack of background elements (making it feel super enclosed in some shots) and the distracting amount of glow. Good job for both.
I was hoping you were going to do it the other way around, with old designs and new scenes. However, the Dareth parts was AWESOME, especially with the Helmet of Shadows, and your solution for Spinjitzu could not have been done better.
As an old fan of the show, I have been waiting for someone to create a faithful adaptation of Ninjago in the style of the Lego Movie for the longest time. You totally killed it with the spinjitzu! That's some professional quality and respect for the source material right there!
People need to appreciate this more it takes months for a 30 second scene and and the editing on this video in general is amazing I don’t know if he edits it but the editing is amazing. We truly need to appreciate him more
I love how you did the characters and really enjoyed how you animated characters who had two different designs in the movie and show, like Misako and Nya!
I love ninjago and when I heard they were gonna make a movie I was excited me and my friends went to see it because we were all obsessed with ninjago and we were not disappointed I still love the movie for what they did at the time.
Citrine, I have no words for this, the amount of failure and overcoming of obstacles put into this is utterly amazing. I’ve been recently learning animation and boy let me tell you, you are my genuine role model. Keep it up man, your truly talented
I’m sad ninjago got cancelled man,brung so many good times in my life when it would come on cartoon network edit:look at the first reply,I am happy now.
@@matrixpictures7799 So it was a lie it was being cancelled?I saw some internet foolery a bit back that it was being cancelled,but it makes me happy to know it isnt
That turned out too amazing!! I can see how much effort you put into this. And it turned out just amazing! Seriously, congrats to you guys, you're awesome too.
Bro I kinda feel like crying, I've always wanted people to see how awesome the show is and recreate it in Lego version! This is awesome! Thanks you so much! Also will the Spinjitzu models be available anywhere? I'll pay good money haha
As an ultra ninjago fan and watched all seasons 3 times in a row i gotta say thank you the movie is a let down and will be forgotten forever I really thank you for this
Citrine EPIC WORK! those spinjitzu tornadoes were very well crafted as and those lens flares really gave it an extra kick. Also this video itself is just so unique!
YOU SHOULDVE WORK IN THE LEGO MOVIE PRODUCTION!!! ur sooo underated!! This iss sooo good 😭 I wish you success in the future and look forward to ur future vids 🎉
I liked the first more. Idk why. The „tornadoes“ looked a bit too shiny. About the second one. I thought everything had a shine there. I didn’t liked that. But it was amazing that the whole background was brick build
I think making a Ninjago Movie with unrelated canon is fine, as long as it still keeps the spirit of the original series. Kinda like the Sonic movies. But the actual Ninjago Movie had none of that, almost like it was embarrassed to respect what came before. But yeah, this paints a great picture of what could've been
Great work on this man! Same with Scared face, Honestly though I really wish they went with the original concepts of the movie like the time travel and etc, besides it would make more sense since we see a human garmadon (before he was possessed) instead of just straight up Lord Garmadon who was just born with 4 arms the entire time and etc. Idek, I know the LEGO movie universe isn't all about the seriousness and being logical since its world of talking and living plastic blocks but some bit of moments where It shows that strain of seriousness in certain plot points would also balance it out and sweeten it up a bit. I also really didn't like how there was a cat in the movie, like dude I get its imagination but it should stay in its own barrier and not break any walls. At least, the first lego movie did a good job when it came to reality like the father and son moments.
ok this is freaking amazing, putting the curved pieces along the tornadoes to make them look like they act like actual tornadoes is genius, and the enimation overall is extremely high quality, this is great
The movie feels like the producers didn’t know what ninjago was and movie was based it off a high school au fan fiction that 12 year old wrote on watt pad. Also I love the way you animated spinjisu.
I love how no one understands that the movie wasn’t supposed to be like the show in every aspect it’s supposed to be based in the same world that the original Lego movie took place people like you who have no idea what you are talking abt make me cringe
@@gavinhooks3069 I understand where your coming from, and looking at the movie from fresh eyes as if I didn’t watch the show, it’s a good movie. I just felt a little salty because the movie impacted the show a lot
Honestly S8 - 10 would have worked well as a movie or at least with each season being a movie to have a movie that isn't 10 hours lomg, have the feeling that time passed bewteen each season and forcing march of the oni to be longer
Wow you are so amazing, can you make plot episodes of Ninjago and I can’t believe the characters artwork. But I wish you use original Ninjago Lego figures
This is so awesome! Watching you reanimate the Ninjago TV Show in movie form, but getting the characters right is giving me the perfect sense of nostalgia I had for the show, not the damn movie ❤️
@@citrinesanimations And the fact that you recreated the iconic Dareth scene made me so damn happy. I mean, it's not something you see every day. Thank you for your hard work, you and your amazing talented friends should create your own TV LEGO show! I would pay good money to watch that!
That looked extremely painful to make, good job!
Thanks again! You're not wrong though haha
Daniel Krafft is a Ninjago fan?????
hopefully lol
I never knew you were a lego ninjago fan until seeing this video!
bruh u called spinjitzu a tornado

YESS THANK YOU KING, I appreciate it.
We do realise actually
I do. I’m an animator myself
@@Gon3600 yeah
@@Gon3600 not everyone sadly
I have a sudden urge to watch every episode of Ninjago animated like this
haha one day
Imagine
Imagine!
@@citrinesanimations hol up
Same every episode would be awesome in that style
As a Ninjago fan, this is absolutely incredible, I’d love to have an actual Ninjago dedicated movie with this animation. Truly amazing!
Thanks!!
You telling me a single animator on RUclips, almost did a better job than a whole studio?! Fantastic job Citrine!!
Thanks!
Citrine you outdone yourself!
@@citrinesanimations Good job Dude, I loooooooooove ninjago, especially Lloyd
well only a part, I'd like to see if Citrine can re animate the whole movie
@@dreiobsitue7748 naww bruh that would take wayyy too much time 💀 just thinking about it makes me feel the pain

trueee
4:35 love how Darel has a fingerprint on his leg, it's an amazing detail that I love. And I noticed that a lot of the Lego here has fingerprints!

The spinjitsu was AWESOME. It looked amazing and fit very well with the style of the movie.
You're an EXTREMELY underrated 3D artist! Incredibly presented and feels profession. Well done!

Thank god dareths now canon to the ninjago movie
They said it couldn’t be done… but here we are! I’m glad you saw it haha
If it isn't the leader of the Dareth worshipping cult! See you on Friday for the next meeting?
As a 3D animator/and huge ninjago fan myself, I must say I am really impressed, you did an Incredible Job lad!

You can find some on mecabricks

@Jacob Hawkey hello
As a Ninjago fan, you have exceeded any expectations I've had. You're gonna make us Ninjago Brickfilmers obselete pretty soon. 😂 And I love that Spinjitzu effect!
Wow, thanks! Glad to hear it, im sure your guys' animations are good aswell!
The re-animated scenes look amazing. Especially the first one, the animation looks exactly like the movie! This is amazing!
Misako´s design is perfect!
As well as the Spinjitzu build and animation!
Everything here was amazing
you should show this to the Ninjago crew!
Thanks, I'm not sure how I could get them to see it though. If you know how, make sure to let me know!
Brent miller the voice actor of Zane react to alot of fan stuff he did for brick legends try calling him or check channel
I like misakos design as well, due to the fact she has two different designs in the movie and show
Can we appreciate the way the tornadoes look for a minute?
They are so accurate to the way Willfilm animated them with an added effect of cool and vibrant, glow lighting!
Awesome Job Citrine!

@@citrinesanimations it's not ended.
Me: *Not able to watch Ninjago because netflix is broken*
Me seeing this: What a masterpiece this is! *sheds a tear*
This video was epic! Also loved how you used smears for spinjitzu, really creative!
ayyy thanks, glad you noticed that
DUDE THIS IS SO AWESOME! I wish you would be a part of them on animating and effect addings. The best CGI ive ever SEEN!
Means a lot! Thanks
You should remake that whole entire episode of ninjago go that would be so cool
Man I can’t believe I’m stumbling upon this masterpiece a year later! Props to you man, the recreation of the scene looked stellar! It is really good to see my childhood is still very much alive :)
it looks sick dude, the face expressions look so good and the spinjtsu looks amazing. Good job 👏
Thanks!

Fair enough.
0:15 Ooh watcha saaaaay ooh that you only meant weeeeeell yea. Come back brown ninja!!
This is absolutely epic, would love to see a full episode in this style lol, keep up the good work
thanks! maybe one day some people could work together to make an entire episode
I was hoping you were going to do it the other way around, with old designs and new scenes.
However, the Dareth parts was AWESOME, especially with the Helmet of Shadows, and your solution for Spinjitzu could not have been done better.
Yo a chima profile picture, awsome

4:55 I thought Lloyd was talking 💀
I love how you did the characters and really enjoyed how you animated characters who had two different designs in the movie and show, like Misako and Nya!
someday i hope they reboot the show with only minor changes and better animation.
This was absolutely spectacular. The tornado design was really unique and I liked it a lot. The movie hoods on the kimonos was a clever design too.
Absolutely love yours a lot! The visuals and animation was absolutely beautiful! It really looks like an official Lego Movie!
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Except this is a Ninjago Sequel where Lloyd is more than just a Green Ninja,he’s the Ninja Master of all Elements.
Despite Lloyd was classified as a Official Lego Racer.
It would be sick if you remade like the og pilot like this
The Spinjitzu could use some more speed when spinning but everything else is beautiful
Thanks for the feedback!
@@citrinesanimations No problem! I'm actually working to do 3d animating in the future.
This guy could remake ninjago if he had a big team
amazing editing,amazing animation,amazing pacing?? u are killing it!!
Thanks! I worked hard on this one!
This is all I ever wanted and more! Thank you so much for making this 😍
I love ninjago and when I heard they were gonna make a movie I was excited me and my friends went to see it because we were all obsessed with ninjago and we were not disappointed I still love the movie for what they did at the time.
If I was a kid I would be freaking out about those tornadoes. I remember so many fond memories and your really elevating it 😊
Citrine, I have no words for this, the amount of failure and overcoming of obstacles put into this is utterly amazing. I’ve been recently learning animation and boy let me tell you, you are my genuine role model. Keep it up man, your truly talented
Daniel: "the 'tornados' really stood out" 😔. You did a great job though 👍.
This animation style would be amazing in the new show
Oh didn’t think of that!
The Lego spinjistzu was SO. FREAKIN. AWESOME!!!
I’m sad ninjago got cancelled man,brung so many good times in my life when it would come on cartoon network
edit:look at the first reply,I am happy now.
its not cancelled. the show's been running for 11 years and doesn't seem to be stopping soon.

So it was a lie it was being cancelled?I saw some internet foolery a bit back that it was being cancelled,but it makes me happy to know it isnt
It's not cancelled, the main current show just ended with a new one next year
That turned out too amazing!!
I can see how much effort you put into this.
And it turned out just amazing!
Seriously, congrats to you guys, you're awesome too.
Not what I had in mind from the title, I was disappointed at first but these clips are so good it makes up for it.
Good job
Haha glad to hear it
I would love to see the rebooted finale

Thanks, nah the spinjitzu builds are simple, Im sure you can manage it
@@citrinesanimations ok that's all good :) also can I talk to you about the blender bricks server?
@@citrinesanimations I have some serious apologies to make
@@citrinesanimations I know you mad at me for good reason, but can we at least have a conversation?
The first animation is INCREDIBLE, if it had more stone warriors it would have been perfect, but it looks great.
I would like to think the movie is in an alternate reality
this is amazing, the only thing i would think would be better would be a faster spin in the spinjitzu
I love ninjago and as a long time fan of the series seeing this really brought back memories
Glad to hear it
As an ultra ninjago fan and watched all seasons 3 times in a row i gotta say thank you the movie is a let down and will be forgotten forever I really thank you for this
This is way to good and how is Ninjago not hiring you?
Citrine EPIC WORK! those spinjitzu tornadoes were very well crafted as and those lens flares really gave it an extra kick. Also this video itself is just so unique!
Dude both of those animations are amazing
I love the official Ninjago animation style but tbh this is so much better 💀
Hahah thanks
Bro you should do more of this stuff, this is a masterpiece
0:39 voice reveal???????
great job, definitely worth the wait! Scaredface's part was incredible as well
Love you citrine ❤
thanks homie ❤

Thank youuu
The animation, the stop motion, character designs, the face expressions. The time it took, LIKE THİS IS MOST PERFECT THING I EVER SEEN SO FAR!!!
As a long time ninjago lover, I adore this so much. The time and effort is amazimg

seeing ninjago so differently like this gave me chills, it's crazy
Wow! Awesome and I want to see full version od ninjago like this 🧡
Great job! This is genuinely more faithful to the original series than what the movie did.
But anyways, awesome work!
OH MY GOD THATS SO COOL

“Hey sunshine” 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Edit: yet again though another awesome animation
you combined the phenomenal story from the show with the amazing animation of the movie. good job man i would totally love to see a movie like this
This is such a high effort video. Amazing work!
The second clip almost seems a little too animated for lego movie standards, which is great and makes it so much smoother
This is so awesome! Watching you reanimate the Ninjago TV Show in movie form, but getting the characters right is giving me the perfect sense of nostalgia I had for the show, not the damn movie ❤️
Love how the final product was
