In a sick, twisted way, seeing everybody bond over the Ankha craze was one of the most enjoyable moments of 2021. Some found it catchy, some liked the animation, some hated its prevalence and some became a tad too obsessed with it. But everybody knew, and could laugh about it, or whistle it, or draw doodles that get you in hot water with the security staff. In true internet fashion, all it took to bring back that olden meme magic was a funny dancing cat. Now it's the final week of 2021, and we have a legitimately sweet animation with good holiday vibes and insane quality. Art's a wonderful thing.
It was pretty complicated for me. I had a huge crush on ankha as a child and saw that animation pretty much the day it came out. Then completely forgot about only to wake up on day to see that there has been a business insider artical on it. I had a mini heart attack. Im glade zone is getting the attention they deserve though.
A reminder of times long ago, even though it’s only been two years, it’s still wild how much has changed since. And in the rapidly evolving present and increasingly unpredictable future, it can be comforting to revisit the past.
Your not alone there. Zone was that flash video you share to your friends with who dont have boundaries. Jump to 2021 and Gura is talking about Zone on stream xD
I wish there were more songs like this. The layered vocals, the simple 80s style beat, focusing more on the combined voices of those involved rather than the music. Gives me chills whenever I hear something like it.
Same here. Another rare style that gives me chills is when they incorporate off-beat sections well. Or maybe it's slowed down sections? I don't know my terms very well but it changes the rhytm, often slowed down, and sometimes even layered.
Actually! There is! As someone already mentioned its called italo disco! Just look up the genre and you'll get all sorts of selections. Some of my fav artists is My Mine, Fancy, Silent Circle, David Lyme, Eddy Huntington etc... Have fun, enjoy!
I still find it oddly fascinating how this single animation loop from a very much appreciated yet very indulgent animation. Thank you for your hardwork and dedication to the arts in many of its forms! Another example of how internet meme history will be a fantastic college course some day. A meme born of a meme of a meme.
Ahhh it's back again. Must be the end of another year. To those returning, sit down and sing with us. Have a wonderful holiday season, and may your days be filled with joy
Man, this has gotta be the most animations Zone has put out in a year in his entire career. And just like all his animations(that he doesn't announce) they're completely unexpected!
I'd like to say I really like the extra emotion in Ankha's head movement. That and Sliders chill sitting really sell this for me. Thank you for the well wishes and I hope everyone has a happy new year!
1. Amazing, getting to see this branch off into something different an interesting and, always love how mesmerizing these can be, thank you. 2. why are there two versions of the villager,, one with a mustache and one without? 3. that end bit was great lol
If you were cultured enough you would know the original animation (yes that one) was taken down from a DMCA, so made a second one with the villager in a disguise as a joke.
It took a year for this to reach my algorithm but i love it. Love the jingle and animation. God bless you Zone, merry christmas. Every year There’s always something i will witness that can give me a vibe that can only be described as christmas spirit in a weird way. Not in the way you can imagine, but an odd bittersweet feeling. Like the realization that not only is it December, but Christmas is around the corner, and soon the end of the year.
I don't know why but every time I see KK slider it just puts a smile on my face and a warm feeling in my heart. Merry Christmas to you Zone and every one.
I’m loving the idea of a hybrid ancient Egyptian and Christmas theme. Imagine seeing the Bethlehem Christmas story in green and red hieroglyphs and Christmas decorations on the pyramids to make them look like giant Christmas trees. Put little Christmas hats on your pillow-sitting Sphinx cats while you’re at it. Merry Christmas, everyone. 🎄
Just remembered this classic with Christmas slowly approaching. 😂 What a wild time it was, I still genuinely love this clip despite never playing AC and not caring too much about the thing that originally brought this masterpiece. Gotta say, that handsome golden-locks fellow Sandy Marton sure brought some fine bangers into the sea of the less-known Italo gems, and this animation definitely did the justice by being just as beautiful and soulful. Can't help, but the dog even kinda looks like Sandy with that calm elegant gaze and laid back vibe, and Ankha is naturally a total badass here. Definitely one of the greatest videos of its year. ❤
Wasn't expecting something this wholesome from Zone. That ending though, yeah I expected that and it still made me laugh. Good job Zone and may you continue to entertain us until the day you cannot anymore.
This is such a multi-layered piece of art. First it was a wholesome IP, then a cultured niche meme, then a humorous mainstream meme, now it’s come full circle back to wholesome again as yet another layer of irony is added to the meme. I wonder how hard this would be to explain to aliens. Merry Christmas and happy new year, everyone. 🎄🎁
Was feeling really depressed this Christmas. Went over to my folks' house for Christmas Eve, but instead of having a good time, my Stepfather chose to criticize and micromanage ever little thing I had done or didn't do. Bastard really ruined the holiday spirit! But then Ankha and her friends with Zone-sama's help brought this awesome video into my life. Thank you Zone for making me remember the joy of Christmas! 😂😂😃
I bet he'd hate it if you called him out for nagging you when you could be doing something fun & entertaining with family instead. Either way, I feel ya. I'm glad your Xmas joy came back from this fun little clip, best of luck to you.
i thought you wrote "chose to criticize and microwave every little thing i did and didn't do" and i said "nice, are you the cook? that's awesome" i'm half asleep
Ah, don't beat yourself up over it. Here in a few years you'll have a steady internship or something, and he'll be the same. Find a few friends in the real world, try joining a church or some local organization, or volunteer to clean up people's yards
Simply wonderful, I don't even know what to say. And the song again is an absolute banger! Thought that I won't celebrate New Year with happiness, bit I was hell of a wrong. Love your art, Zone.
This actually made my Christmas. We didn't have a big celebration and there wasn't really any holiday-specific cheer this December and seeing this just made up for all of it. Naughtiness and the ethics thereof aside, thank you so much for posting this.
I am so glad there’s a purer version of the horrid monster of all lusty vids. Dear god. BC OF THE EVIL DANCING CATS VID I LEARNED MANY THINGS I WISH I NEVER LEARNED! I am glad there’s an actual cat dancing :3 And it’s wholesome
Zone-sama has truly reflected this past year and has come to celebrate Christmas with another blessed animation. Without a doubt, this new legacy will pass on into the next year with no regrets :)
May Ankha & XJ9 (Jenny) shake hands, and be proud of their accomplishments. Thanks to Zone, they were able to break *two generations* of the internet. In 10 years, I'm looking forward what would be the next Zone animation to do it a third time.
... I'm 2 damn years late, which breaks my heart... Literally just now seeing this Dec 2023. Better late than never I suppose? This was pretty heart warming!
Merry Christmas Zone!! Thank you for sharing your passions with us, you are all beautiful people and you make the world brighter everyday with Joy and Laughter!

Oh hey Veches, fancy to see you around! Happy New Year 2022!
If you look closer, the Error Code is about an error, if your console won't start up with a micro SD card

Ok

Still here
Of all places to see ya. Happy New Year Hero!

truly a manly moment
Ok
omg I love u
You know, it would be absolutely hilarious if Sandy Marton were to have a massive international comeback because of the work of Zone.
They kind of already have, funny dancing cat smashed their potential to die the second death into little sandy pieces. Now EVERYBODY knows his work.
Hi, T-???, my son.
It's 2029, and, yes, Marton is popular.
It... radiates happyness all around the world too
Sandy Marton: People only know my music because of a lewd animation of an Egyptian cat!
Hervé Roy: COUNT YOUR FUCKING BLESSINGS.
Mariya Takeuchi: LOL
From what i heard: Sandy does know about Ankha Zone and found it funny but I guess he's trying to block Camel By Camel from the country Idk
Who would’ve ever guess that a funny dancing cat could resurrect one man’s singing career
Didn't expect you here
Thanks tik tok??

I still find it very odd how this basically went mainstream when it comes to memes.

yeeeeee

The year of the cat.
optimistic to think he'll put anything out in the next year
i come back to this every year now, i think its a genuinely heartwarming and great little way to end the year

First, the cat was not dancing
Then, the cat was dancing
Finally, the cat is SINGING
But then the cat is PLAYING

Dunno why recommendations brought me here again but I ain't complaining
Did not expect something so... wholesome from Zone-sama. I like it though! Very well done on everything!
Usually you expect some holes instead of wholesome
Unexpected, but appreciated.
Merry Christmas, Zone!
Hands down the best video I've seen this entire year.
Who would have thought that one "curious" animation would bring you doing something this beautiful?
That one was already beautiful...from a certain point of view.
Simply wonderful, I don't even know what to say. And the song again is an absolute banger! Thought that I won't celebrate New Year with happiness, bit I was hell of a wrong. Love your art, Zone.
Hehe! Glad to see that the funny dancing cat lady is still dancing during Christmas time!

the feeling between happy and depressed...
"The cat is dancing again Mario!"
"Indeed she is Luigi, indeed she is. Happy christmas brother"
Has a slight Eurovision type vibe.
Lovin it!
it's still burned into my mind after all this time... wasn't the cat that curiosity killed. it was innocence.
Her hip sway is still so mesmerizing. Ankha rhythm hip sway meme will live forever in my heart.
Now it's a happy Christmas ,a gift from Zone makes everything better.
Thanks and Happy Holidays and a better new Year
My favourite wholesome animator is back again!
