The animation is definitely…different, but it’s used of puppet animation is still pretty neat! I look forward to studying it by going through it frame by frame!
5:00 (What I _think_ they said) Macaque: DO YOU WANT MY HELP OR NOT? YOU ARE SUCH A- Wukong: YOU WERE A VILLAIN FIVE MINUTES AGO AND NOW YOU'RE TELLING ME HOW TO-
Love how in literally the first episode, they: - Ripped my heart out and ground it up into a bajillion tiny pieces - Made Shadowpeach canon without making Shadowpeach canon - Introduced a TON of huge lore drops from outta fuccin nowhere - Called out Wukong on his bullshit without antagonizing him - Somehow made Macaque EVEN MORE of a favorite character - Made MK’s and Dadsy’s relationship even more wholesome - Made MK’s and Wukong’s relationship more wholesome - 100% confirmed the two Monkey Bros are actually monkey bros (Because I know some people out there still saw them as like a father and son duo, including me) - Gave us more Sandy For a first episode that is genuinely insane to me-
So does anyone else realize that MK and Po from kung fu panda have some very similar back stories? Not identical by any means, but both of them were raised by noodle salesman who had a passion for food. They both adored the food, but they weren’t really passionate about it. There’s as many similarities as there are differences, but I find it really cute seeing them interact with their dads.
The animation downgrade is very noticeable but honestly I think the characters, voice acting, & writing of this show still saves it. And honestly im surprised the incredible animation lasted 4 seasons anyways, considering this shows sets are much less popular than something like Ninjago. (And a lot of fans pirate it 😅) anyways I’m still excited to watch this season!! 🤍
I think the bigest problem with the animation is the color, and that they probably use less frames. The colors are to saturated and object verry flatly shaded, from what it looks like. Especially the yellow. And the movements are less fluid and more "jumpy". Nothing that can't be fixed with time, but it definitely makes the show look more "chesp kids show" esqu. It's kind of interesting though how on model they are with some of the characters, like Wukong and Pigsy, while especially MK seems kind of off model xD
regardless of the animation changes, that scene with pigsy and mk was so sweet. i liked that this episode has felt slower paced than most in the past season, it really gave room for everything to breathe a bit more
I gotta say, I got into Monkie Kid because of the animation and I was massively, I mean MASSIVELY dissapointed when I saw the S5 trailer. But this.... THIS.... I LOVE THIS. Sure it's nothing compared to the old seasons, but they surpassed my expectations and I'm so glad I'm giving it a chance because right now, I'm super excited for more. If you are not convinced yet, please don't hate on the new studio and give them a chance, they are clearly trying to live up to the previous seasons.
*crying* As the bg artist assigned for all the Monkie king house interior & exterior shots. Im so happy to see it come to live here with the animation team and composition team effort to make it look good haha 😅
Oh my goodness It just feel so weird not the audio just the animation like you’re just so used to something and once there’s a major changes it just feels off We were so used to all four seasons with that high-quality animation.
@@Pllatess and they were rushed! I really wish some things were just not rushed Meet a unrealistic deadline because because most of these projects come out better than planned
@@blackprism5381 the writers I think wanted to publish it in summer so the studio didn’t have time to make it look better. I’m sure if they had more time it would’ve look better. Tbh they got better each episode.
Just an FYI, S5 in English was officially released on The Lego Channel yesterday. Support the official release if possible guys, so hopefully the animation has a chance to get better
@@cyanado2697 I agree it'll only get better with time. It'd just suck if the show was canceled before that happened though. The animation this season is super janky, but I'll give Wildbrain credit for at least attempting to imitate the old style's action. It just seems like they were rushed and didn't have the time to truly bring their storyboards to life.
Ngl even tho the animation changed from hand drawn to rigged animation they still know how to tell the story, making it so the animation isn’t much of a problem for me in my opinion
Ive seen animation changes in the past in other shows compred to them this isn't the worst rough in a couple of areas but im sure it will improve overtime
I feel like the animation definitely improves over a corse of a few episodes there’s more frames and starts to look like a more rushed version of the previous seasons. It might just be the fact that I’m reading the sub but until you really think about the fact the animation changed it blends in really well :)
this feels more like a fan animation then official one I'm really trying not to be bothered by it but it feels off too stiff I appriciate they are trying and the show wasnt canceled though
I cant help but feel like ever since they switched to rigging and left flyingbark studios the animation just seems… lifeless. Compared to the previous style of fluid animation that you could tell had a lot of love put into making it.
@@ToonishB3 exactly! There’s just something so unbearably off about the animation throughout the entire episode that I just can’t seem to ignore. It unfortunately really does take my attention away from the story at times :-(
@@SpokeyMcDokey put this perfectly into words, I knew I wasnt quite wording this right. It also doesn’t help that they only have a few mouth models, makes the facial expressions feel weird and a little uncanny, but that might just be me
@Sphomx I noticed that too! They also did the thing you see in some anime and manga where the closed mouth is parted in the middle. It's not good or bad but it is something the new studio is doing. I wonder if it's to give it a more hand drawn feel.
I was a hater when I saw the animation change in the trailer, but now I’m coming around to it. WildBrain clearly tried their best to emulate the style as best they could to varying degrees of success. I was worried that it would be stiff and lifeless like the 2D segments in Ninjago
At first, I thought there was nothing different about the animation, but now I can see why people are complaining. It's not that bad, but I don't get why they changed it at all
I think they had to change studios because the previous one had too much on their plate (take this with a grain of salt because this is only what I’ve heard). Also secondly why it seems off is probably because they have used rigging?? At least that’s my guess. They also look weirdly short, I don’t know if that’s just me or it’s something else that looks off…
Flying bark studio is bussy with other project (i forget the name) and probally because wildbrain is cheaper then flying bark studio(also lego greediness, they more focus on the set then the animation/show after all)@@raikreios
I don't feel this have bad animation I would even say it's better than a lot of cartoons but the thing is the other studio just did a way better job and I think that's insane actually
I hate the animation so much. It feels like a downgrade and like I’m watching a kids animated series. They should’ve at least kept the old animation crew or whatever because this is not it.
They didn’t have a choice afaik. The animation studio that did the first seesons, Flying Bark Productions, couldn’t do it this time around due to logistical issues, likely relating to no longer being able to output as much as Lego needed them too.
Flying bark studios has been moving around lately for their shows Lego Monkie kid - Wild brain studios Glitch techs - Paramount+ Moon girl & devil dinosaur - Disney+ Rise of the TMNT - Netflix/Paramount+ Hopefully they don't stay paused Hiatus forever cause of company problems nor budget cuts or toy line problems or even Covid Let's just wait and see what they have for us in the future
Even if the animation change is incredibly jarring (not bad, but definitely a downgrade), at least the other good things remain, especially the voice acting.
Loving how the new studio is obviously trying their best despite having nearly no experience with 2d animation Everyone please give them a chance, with more practice for each episode the better they will become
This Is so… off putting But then again they did move animation styles… but then again there using flashbacks from the old style it sucks… the Ninja Lego show had to deal with the same thing… but it’s ok… I got used to it but holy shoot… Saab is amazing as always
NO WAY! NO WAY BROOO!!! FINNALY FOUND ONE WITH GOOD AUDIO!! YOURE A LIFESAFER DUDE!!🎉💗🎉💗🎉💗 I LITERALLY DONT CARE ABOUT THE ANIMATOON ANYMORE BC OF THE QUALITY!!
Haven’t you heard about all the layoffs in animation? The character stile was very simplistic, but the animation was very, very detailed and professionally done All things considered the former might’ve even been hand drown(on computer, not paper). All the people who did it before are probably fired or the studio that had it formally has gone under, and it was handed to a new studio for cheaper animation. the new studio does not have the money for really high-level animators nor can put thy time to produce such beautiful in fluid animation.. I say we be grateful it’s still being made and hasn’t been written off as a tax write off as some shows. it’s still pretty good.
okay, thoughts on the animation... it's not THAT bad. I mean, compared to Flying Bark, yeah no the old animation wins for a MILE, but i think i can look pass it (even thought ill miss it A LOT)
I have a thought could it be possible that Nuwa created MK to one day succeed the Jade emperor if he ever died so that there would be someone to Hold the universe together?
The animation is definitely…different, but it’s used of puppet animation is still pretty neat! I look forward to studying it by going through it frame by frame!
I can't believe a verified user is a lmk fan
I haven't watched that much of LMK but the scene when Pigsy called Mk "son" was the most adorable thing I've ever seen-
Literally I screamed. Almost cried
5:00 (What I _think_ they said)
Macaque: DO YOU WANT MY HELP OR NOT? YOU ARE SUCH A-
Wukong: YOU WERE A VILLAIN FIVE MINUTES AGO AND NOW YOU'RE TELLING ME HOW TO-
OH MY GOSH THANK YOU. I tried for like 3 minutes to hear what they said and failed 😭
How’d you do it??
@@ConceptOfCreat10nthey listened closely, i got it now i did one voice at a time also macaques is more quieter
@ConceptOfCreat10n I'm just really good at distinction with voices. It's how I recognize actors who are doing a completely different voice.
Love how in literally the first episode, they:
- Ripped my heart out and ground it up into a bajillion tiny pieces
- Made Shadowpeach canon without making Shadowpeach canon
- Introduced a TON of huge lore drops from outta fuccin nowhere
- Called out Wukong on his bullshit without antagonizing him
- Somehow made Macaque EVEN MORE of a favorite character
- Made MK’s and Dadsy’s relationship even more wholesome
- Made MK’s and Wukong’s relationship more wholesome
- 100% confirmed the two Monkey Bros are actually monkey bros (Because I know some people out there still saw them as like a father and son duo, including me)
- Gave us more Sandy
For a first episode that is genuinely insane to me-
AHH BETTER AUDIO QUALITY!! 😖🙏
YOU ARE THE BEST.
Animation is a bit stiffer but isn’t as bad as I thought it would be. At least they are trying to imitate Flying Bark
Yeah, maybe. But still time passed, they will master the smooth animation👍
Don't really care the animation is different, LOOK AT THAT SHADOWPEACH CONTENT AND DADSY MOMENT!
The show may not look as great as it was before, but i still enjoy it, especially since this season feels a lot more personal.
So does anyone else realize that MK and Po from kung fu panda have some very similar back stories?

It's kind of interesting though how on model they are with some of the characters, like Wukong and Pigsy, while especially MK seems kind of off model xD
That's what I noticed too. The movements feel sorta basic and remind me of gatcha edits. Not bad but very noticeable compared to the previous seasons
regardless of the animation changes, that scene with pigsy and mk was so sweet. i liked that this episode has felt slower paced than most in the past season, it really gave room for everything to breathe a bit more
10:48 the fact that the monkeys sleep with macaque is hilarious

New animation or not the scene of Pigsy and Mk cooking together has me sobbing my eyes out it’s so *cute* 🥺🥹😭🫶💕
New animators definitely did good job here, they didn't have much time to learn the animation style too

The animation went from Spider-Verse to Toy Story 1
Not an insult, just an observation
It's alright for me.
the new animation team did really well actually

im so happy it continues but the animation fells less alive now
So the "our stone" comment technically makes MK and Wukong brothers, right? That's such a weird thought....
