I was too tired to type this last night because it was 5am UK time when I finished the animation but xD
Just wanted to add some extra details : the frog rock isn’t canon but my idea for it was that because Puritan kids didn’t really have toys, they would make their own things. Philip loves to draw and had access to rocks and frogs, so I thought it would make a cute thing to re use in my animations :) And then the first palisman he ate being a frog was like symbolism for that happy part of him dying.
As for Philip saying his parents lied when they died, my take on it was that because he was so young, he didn't know how to process death yet, and his reaction was, our parents promised to keep us safe and now we're orphans and have no home. He was sad they died, but also angry, not specifically at them but at life in general, and that was the start of his abandonment issues and obsession with Caleb who was the only person he had left (since it’s also hinted the villagers in the original Gravesfield weren’t so kind to them and they became witch hunters to fit in).
As for the Caleb memorial scene, I know it does feel hypocritical but I felt like it fit the character very well - he’ll try to convince himself the grimwalkers are better versions of Caleb, but the fact he keeps making them alone proves he still really does love Caleb in his own messed up way, and I thought the contrast between him having a little memorial and him then taking bones from his corpse was a cool little detail :)
As for the whole thing with the collector, my theory is that Philip spoke to him in the in between before finding the tablet because that would explain why he was shown being already cursed in one of the portraits when Caleb was still alive. If we go by beard length time estimation, he had only been in the demon realm for maybe 5-8 months before killing Caleb and I don’t think he would have found out about palismen and glyphs on his arm on his own by then, plus the collector also said they were the one to teach him magic.
As for the scene in the snow, it was mostly to make a call back to my first animation - my time was fairly limited by what I can realistically animate as a single person, but it’s very possible Philip would have seen the collector while attempting to make a first portal back home the same way Luz did. Him passing out and seeing the collector that way isn’t as realistic as him attempting a portal, but for this specific video and calling back to the last one I felt like it was fitting enough that it worked and got the point across :)
Also, thank you so much for all the lovely comments and words of support !! And thank you again to everyone who helped with the audio part of this video ♥️
Well great work as always😘
I love how you shown that Belos has always been hidden deep within Philip scene he was a child and how he knew about the Collector when no one else has even heard of him😎
You got the best animation man. Can’t wait for what you have for 2023.
There are so many little details and symbolism! I like this very much 💗💗💗
I also really like how little Philip's voice is similar to the voice of the Collector and how the voice echoes at the end of the memory, it is heard most clearly there.
This is by far the best fan animation I've ever seen. I can see this being an awesome scene in The Owl House series.
Would you consider having the voice actors use Original Pronunciation, the accent of 17th century Britain and the American colonies? Thinking about Philip in the context of the history of the Puritan colonies just tickles me, personally.
So Philip almost "died" of hypothermia? The collector gave him a second chance to live and told him about glyphs and he gave him the idea of palisman consumption? If this becomes canon in episode 2 I'm screaming
Not to be a troll or hater but in “Else Where and Else When” Philip had those glyphs and been consuming palismen from BEFORE he met the Collector, unless this “dream” is how he learned about the collector and everything else I said🧐
@@fantasy-artist4425 Maybe it's a dream or the animator may forget some lore of the show. However, they all did a good job at portraying Phillip's character and maybe even better than the show.
I guess you could say he made a deal with the devil.
@@fantasy-artist4425 probably
He didn’t have that tablet when he had the dream
@@fantasy-artist4425 its not hard to tell that it was a dream of hm first meeting the collector making hunt down the tablet
Philip is definitely one of my favorite characters. Yes, he's a horrible person, but he's so well written and it makes him such a cool character to see.
Exactly. Bellos/Philip is such a good character. Everyone wanted an extended season 3 for more Luz,Eda an king stuff. I wanted more Bellos Lore lol.
To be honest I like Caleb
He's an absolute terrible person and character, and that's precisely why he's such a terrific villain.
@@shawnwarrynn8609 EXACTLYYY
@@darthjc4 Same, I want more backstory with him and Caleb
Stunning animation! So honered to be a part of this!
Oh hey Tomotasauce! Love your channel, happy new years :)
You were amazing as Caleb, thank you so much for being a part of this !!! :D
Tomotasauce's Caleb voice is objectively incredible.
Yeah, love your channel. Happy New Years man.
Tomotasauce as Caleb is amazing.
I like how when he opens up Caleb’s coffin, he has this desolate and saddening look on his face. Then, his face expression changes as he tells himself that he is in the RIGHT for murdering his brother. All he can feel is anger, resentment towards his actions, and bad determination. As he puts himself in this mindset, his face expression immediately changes to impenitence and anger and quickly grabs caleb’s remains to possibly make a another grimwalker. It’s so messed up and eerie but so interesting! Amazing job. I love this.
Thank you !!! Yeah I wanted to have the sad expression first. I want to show the nuance in his character as much as I can. He’s making all the wrong decisions, but there’s a tiny part of him that regrets killing Caleb and still misses him a lot (I mean if he didn’t miss him at all he wouldn’t keep making copies of him). But he tells himself he’s in the right because that’s all he has left, and part of him is also still angry at Caleb for leaving too.
That was the moral event horizon for Belos. He murdered his brother, the only real friend he had, the only family he had left, unable to accept a witch, who his oh-so-righteous village elders taught him to hate, as part of his family. There, he had truly lost everything-including his humanity.
He couldn't help it, a witch? They as kids were taught that witches are the worst brings in existance and must be destroyed so when sphillip saw that his own brother betrayed him by loving a witch, it had to end this way. I stand by phillip, I'd have done the same thing he does, he's protecting humanity from witches as they possess power a lot stronger than that of a human, if witches decide to expand or control the dimensional rift, it will be bad for humans.
@@tysondennis1016 killing his brother was wrong but killing the whole witchkind was right
1:52
Considering how Matthew Rhys insists that he sees Belos as misunderstood, I'm starting to believe he meant it like Belos being his own worst enemy. Belos had so many opportunities to let go of his old-timey prejudice, but he's too selfish and stuck in his ways to even consider his own faults and how he's not much better than the witches he persecuted. Because of it, Caleb's dead, Lilith, Hunter, Raine, Darius, Eberwolf, and Kikimora to an extent betrayed him, and the Collector is running amok in the so-called utopia he created because Belos betrayed the little guy's trust in him. I wouldn't be surprised if once Belos returns to the Boiling Isles, he'll be greeted by an entire island's worth of witches wanting him burned at the stake, and he'll only have himself to blame.
Oh, and really beautiful animation too.
Imagine it does end with him being burned at the stake. Quite an ironic end, but a fitting one.
i still think "misunderstood" meant how we all saw him as a generic "take over the world" type villain, when the reality is much more horrifying and messed up. really cool analogy though :D
@@utopiaa_1775 I do think it is both. After Magpie's first full animation of 2 brothers the Matthev for the first time in like 2 years actualy interacted with ToH community and not even podcasts. Magpie is the only creator who showed Belos lore accurate but still somewhat sympathetic. Some say he does not interact because he has other things to do, some say he was harrased by Belos haters and some say he just did not give a toss . I think that is what he imagined Belos was gona be like and meaybe he was gona be but the whole cut the S3 in half thing happened. I am happy the guy even aknowladged the animation
I think it's more of a "I've already killed and hurt enough people to get to where I am now, if I stop now, it will all have been in vain" kinda thing.
@@utopiaa_1775 Belos doesn’t want to rule. He wants to destroy.
Seeing the Grimwalker process like this makes this all feel real
Like we’re seeing it for what it is
Phillip/Belos grave robbing/desecrating his brother’s corpse in a vain attempt to bring him back
Only to drag an innocent person into his mess
This animation is breathtaking, and the emotions this exudes are immaculate. It genuinely feels heartbreaking and cold. It almost makes me feel sad for Philip. And the music, it's perfect. Honestly, this is just amazing, and I can't imagine how hard this is to create without a studio, on your own. I hope you keep doing amazing things in 2023 :)
The way Philip talked about his parents showed use that deep down even as a child Belos has always been hiding within him
May I say that they're the greatest TOH fan animator of all time.
He might just be part of the official crew for the show. ❤
Thank you so much aaa !!
@@meh-8940 sadly I’m not xD (also I’m a she :p )
@@MagpieInGravesfield
I’m sure you will be acknowledged by Dana at least. If Owl House gets spinoffs, you’ll be there to answer the call.
It looks legit
The implication that Belos killed and consumed palisman because of the collector is a good addition. The tie of it reminding him of his brother with the frog too is interesting. Thanks again for making these cool animations!
Oh this is absolutely stunning!! I love how even as an innocent child, we can see the beginnings of his twisted emotionally immature way of thinking (but ultimately reasonable thought process at his then age) with the anger at his and Caleb's parents "leaving". Storytelling and attention to detail as spectacular as your animation skills!! 😍😍
Like I’ve been saying Belos is the embodiment of all of Philip’s darkest and twisted aspects and his line as a child confirmed it👤
You captured the show's style so well!
Crowne hiiii !! It’s been awhile ! Thank you so much !! :D
my dude!! youve outdone yourself yet again!! with each animation, im able to see improvement, and im honestly proud of how far you’ve come. the rendering, the smooth animating, the perfection of the toh art style, even working as hard as to get literal voice acting?? we dont deserve you. well done, yet again !! and, happy new years!! im excited to see whats to come from you and other creators in 2023.
forgot to say, well done to the voice actors as well!!
Thank you so so much !!! :D
Ditto
Okay, but I saw this and audibly gasped in awe at the transition from little Pip to grown Philip in the snow and in horror at the casket being opened, plainly showing Caleb's body. I was legit disturbed. This is phenomenal and a perfect start to 2023! Can't wait for more!
Not only is this beautifully drawn and animated, but all the ways it ties things together are just so cool, especially the stuff with Philip as a kid- he wears his mask because he’s scared, so that the bad things (witches) will be scared of him instead. His ailment over the centuries leads to him developing a monstrous form that resembles said mask, which would symbolize how he’s now permanently gripped by fear.
Thank you so much for picking up on that !!! :D
I’m scared that some of this will become canon in Part 2. Philip’s past, how he became Belos, and The Collector… man, this is just too intense. This animation is really good, I hope we see more greatness like this next year.
Thanks for this, and Happy New Year.
Now I’m even more worried for Part 2. "For the Future" is definitely gonna be a mind-blow and a huge emotional blow as well.
Phillip and Caleb's voice performances were amazing
I like how in this animations we see that Belos/Philip regrets about his actions.
It's really sad, when I think about last episode and patethic end of Philip/Belos.
0:50 Little Philip with his mask: "I`ll keep it forever"
Yes, you will
Philip is one of those characters that really makes you question if his actions are justified. His intention is to protect humanity from evil, and when you think about it, if humanity did discover the demon realm, we'd probably either take away its resources for our own personal gain, or destroy it like what Philip did with the draining spell. I do think that the magic that the boiling isles has is really dope, but no human being deserves to know about the possible existence of magic.
Luz wants to become a witch, because its her dream. Imagine if it fell into the wrong hands, similar to how Philip used magic for his own benefit, and cost the lives of so many grim walkers, and palismen.
So while Philip has a good intention to make sure no human enters the boiling isles, but the steps that he's taking is very cruel.
Hell, he was a witch hunter, so when you think about that, he was born in a time where if anyone sides with a witch, they get sentenced to death. Philip killed his own brother because that's what he was taught. Even in the second episode of season 3, he even said he tried to save his brothers soul.
The lore to this franchise is so interesting, sad, and cool, there's no doubt it deserves to be talked about on Film Theory.
I would LOVE a spin off following Phillip and his journey. Dude is a fantastic character. So much depth and stuff that could be explored.
GOD I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT. His backstory is so fascinating, I’m so mad they barley expired it in the show :”))
@@MagpieInGravesfield Got back from the finale
Loved it!
But how are you?
@@griffcrit9905 I’m pretending the finale doesn’t exist, saying I hated it would be an understatement lol. I won’t even talk about it, I’m not doing well but I’m still planning on making new content really soon !
@@MagpieInGravesfield I totally understand, the finale was rather disappointing, I wish we would of gotten more depth to characters and explanations of belos, or Philip of his past. But unfortunately Disney canceled the show, and we lost all of that. I think Dana and her team did great with what time they were given, regarding the circumstances.
@@MagpieInGravesfield alright, glad to hear your opinion, my bro.
I will never forgive what this monster has done.
But perhaps I can shed a tear for him. To someway honor the humanity in him that died.
This is so sad!
I feel so sorry that it ended so bad for them.
It’s such a shame that the show didn’t gave us more about those two brothers.
I would have loved to see more of their backstory.
OMG, I'M IN LOVE WITH KID PHILLIPS VOICE- AND THE WHILE ANIMATION- HOLLY SHIT THIS IS SOOOOOOO GOOD
the VA did such a great job with his voice 🤩
❤ thanks fam!!!
This is a stunning piece of craftsmanship I loved the details of Philips hideout nice touch there.
I am at a loss for words with this. This animation absolutely stellar! Also Collector saving Phillip is not something I expected! All the VAs knocked it out of the park too
This animation adds so much fascinating context. Belos wore his specific mask because he wanted the witches to fear him, as he once feared them as a child. Caleb's perceived betrayal was punctuated by the lie of their parents always being there for them. In fact, Caleb pinky swearing and breaking it in Philip's eyes are probably why he had no problem breaking a pinky swear with the Collector, because he'd been spurned by one in the past, and by someone close no less.
I like that even though Philip killed Caleb he still keep the mask he promised to keep
Why am I crying?
Edit: The music sounds like the season 1 and season 2 themes
this is so AMAZING!!! I DONT EVEN UNDERSTAND HOW U COULD MAKE SUCH AN AMAZING THINGYMABOB BUT U DID!!! ALSO THE VOICE ACTING WAS GREAT
Give this guy an Award!!
Seriously, that thumbnail art looks so official, I almost thought this was an official video before saying the title!!
That's some crazy effort dude.
Your videos are fire 🔥🔥
Across Fandoms I've never quite seen someone stay so true to the original artstyle as you have, great animation. Also the freedom to add in darker imagery personally elevates this above the show so kudos.
This almost makes me feel bad for Belos/Philip. Wonderful work.
This is EPIC-
I consider it canon, honestly- like the style is identical to the show. Terrific job!
These animations tell Philips and Calebs story so well. If Disney just hadn't cut season 3 then we would have gotten the perfect story arc for Phillip/ Belos and why the way he is. But we were robbed.
DAMIT! Now I wish this was canon! This looks so beautiful!
What I like about these Belos-centered fan animations is that it humanizes Philip/Belos.
In the show, he is depicted as a tyrannical ruler with genocidal intent, believing he is doing good for humanity.
In these animations, he is depicted as a lonely boy/man who felt betrayed by his brother.
Not saying Philip's intentions are good, but it's intriguing to see a perspective not shown in the series.
Thank you so much for your comment, that’s exactly what I was aiming for :D
I honestly hope that they explore this somewhere in the last two episodes. If they just leave it that he's just some genocidal tyrant without further explaining why and how he got there, then I will be majorly disappointed. All that character build up and potential interesting story narrative gone to waste. Not so much to make you want to forgive him or sympathize with him, but to understand him and why he does what he does.
He couldn't help it, a witch? They as kids were taught that witches are the worst brings in existance and must be destroyed so when sphillip saw that his own brother betrayed him by loving a witch, it had to end this way. I stand by phillip, I'd have done the same thing he does, he's protecting humanity from witches as they possess power a lot stronger than that of a human, if witches decide to expand or control the dimensional rift, it will be bad for humans.
I stand with phillips intentions
Mas acabou não mostrando nada
The voice acting and the animation are amazing!!
The amount of detail you put into these is incredible. I’ve been starved for Wittebane-lore and stumbled across your animations, and I am seriously impressed. The talent here is off the charts
It's just sad how a nice boy from the 1600's turns into an evil monster.
YOU KNEW ABOUT THE INBETWEEN WORLD REVIVALS IM SCREAMING
I'm getting chills! The music paired with the visuals are so unnerving, and the childlike voice acting is the icing on the cake! I have now experienced true beauty!
I never expected to hurt so much over freaking BELOS. This is absolutely amazing, i love the art and the voice acting!!
It's Philip.
Wow!! This is absolutely stunning! I love the animation, the music, the voice-acting…It’s all so perfect. It does make me even more curious about the remainder of Philip and Caleb’s backstory and what we might see of it in the last two episodes, especially how they plan to conclude Belos’ (and The Collector’s) arc.
Bro you carrying the whole toh fandom on your back. Keep up the good work!!! ❤❤❤
Saddest thing is, I think he actually feels bad about killing Caleb, he just thinks he did it for the greater good😔
Beautiful!! And it looks so professionally made!! You and the voice actors did such an amazing job on this, bravo!!
As always, your videos slap and are genuinely incredible. Especially the choices in visuals when they play for a flash of a second and then shift to the next moment
It becomes a whole new sense of mystery and horror when you realize it was all to stay alive and find his brother and eventually it turned into a much more… horrific reason why he continued to live
The Collector moment was incredible, but I think I enjoyed the flashes of memories much greater because of the *impact* they have, the knife over his forearm, the stone carving of the Palisman/Frog, then the dead Palisman and the “bleeding” of the ooze from his face…
And then the final moment of Caleb… ahhhhhh- the screaming is loud right now, because I wasn’t expecting it
Your animations continue to be amazing and I hope you keep doing more of what you enjoy working on
Thank you so much aaaa !!! I want to keep creating more, Philip fuels my drive to make art like no other character ever has 😆
@@MagpieInGravesfield I’m glad! Phillip continues to be an amazingly unique character, so I’m glad you’re enjoying and fueled energy for making more stuff for him
Even better than the last one! Looks just like the show, and the voices fit them so well. You and your team have done it again, keep up the great work!!
To summarize his past:
It sounds like little bro got jealous that his older brother got a hot witch girlfriend. But, that’s just me.
That's perfectly accurate.
I understood that reference
Magpie, this is amazing stuff. This animation is officially the best and most accurate one. ❤❤
I LOVE THESE SO FRICKING MUCH!!!!! YOUR ANIMATIONS JUST MAKE ME LOVE THE WITTEBANE BROTHERS STORY MORE AND MORE THEN I EVER DID!! I REALLY HOPE SOMEDAY WE GET A SPINOFF OR SPECIAL OR SOMETHING OF THEM BECAUSE THAT'LL BE SO COOL
I would LOVE to see a spin-off of them aaaa !!!
Spectacular!
Your animations never disappoint, and the insight you place into the story of the Wittebane brothers is incredible.
Great way to start the new year, cheers! :)
This is absolutely amazing, the animation is astounding! The music and sound design are phenomenal as well, thank you for creating this work of art! And the storytelling is immaculate as well. Happy New Year, and I look forward to seeing what you produce in the New Year! :)
I SWAER IF SOMEONE NOT FROM/ NEW TO THE FANDOM SEES THIS THEYRE GONNA ASSUME ITS CANON ITS THAT GOOD OMG AAAAAAAAA-
The way my heart rose, then plummeted. Excellent work as always!
Holy crap- This entire work is amazing. From the composition of the music to the lovely animation and voice acting, this is truly a testament to the Owl House’s story.
This was very tragic. What a great way to end off 2022. Can’t wait to see what you and Dana have in store in 2023.
Bro this hits so DAMN HARD IT FEELS LIKE IM WATCHING THE ACTUAL SHOW
The voice acting and animation, gosh I love this so much! Great work :)
This was incredible. I wasn't expecting actual voices for these guys! And Caleb's body straight up being destroyed with each attempt of bringing him back is horrifying, along with the bit where he CARVED THE GLYPHS INTO HIS ARM, especially since he used *that* knife
HOLY FURKING SHOOT THAT WAS GOOD!!😱😵💫
Omg, you are so good making drawings and animations, and the story, uffff, it's increíble.
woah. just-.. woah.
this is
this is so amazing in so many ways, amazing job, animation, skills, everything, and shocking.
belos is such a good character dang
WOAHHH! THE VOICES! I was NOT ready for the voices. Wow. This is awesome. I wish I could do that.
this sad story is so well told even without words, his story is sad and even tragic, but we must never forget how evil he was
This animation is amazing! This genuinely feels like it could actually be a scene from the show!!!
Its crazy that you did this whole thinge in a week
and the end result is absolutly stunning.👏
The part where he held the dagger to his wrist had me feeling all the feels. This is such a good animation!
The fact that Phillip is the only one who kept his promise is just heartbreaking
after all that philp still cares for brother, but there is a mission to complete and their past can't get in the way
Loved this!!!! I really enjoy the dark history/story of Belos. He is such an interesting character, and I believe him or another Hunter (Grimwalker) deserve a series of their own.
This is sooooo cool! So much effort looks like it was put into this. All your work is amazing! Happy new years everybody!
I can't help but feel like a part of Belos hated what he had become. But he was so blinded by his hatred and prejudice towards the witches that he kept telling himself it's the right thing to do.
Kalamity music and tomotasauce! Plus the animation is super clean fantastic work as always
You are the best animator on RUclips
I don’t think I am but thank you so much ! Making this was really good practice
I keep rewatching this over! You did an outstanding work on this! The voice acting and animation is just 👌😤
So powerful. Thank you for your work, it’s wonderful to see!
I love how you used Belos’s leitmotif theme
Wow you have outdone yourself again! It's so well done! And it's so smooth! Well done again and to the voice actors well done too!
Genuinamente me encantan tus animaciones!
THIS IS SO GOOD. I love the animation PLUS the voice acting! The best new years gift.
This is breathtakingly beautiful in terms of visuals, but also everything else. I really hope this gets seen by as many people as possible!
This is IMMACULATE omg, incredible work!! the effort, artistry and storytelling are just astonishing!
This is amazing! I’ve seen some of your other animations and the quality never fails to impress. You’re so talented, everything about this was phenomenal. The shot of Calebs skeleton really stood out to me, but to be fair pretty much everything captivated my full attention cause it looked so good. Also kudos to the voice actors, they did a great job. Really well done, I love these animations that take on a bit of a darker tone.
1:12 You can see a glimpse of palisman's sad eyes, which shows that they are more than just accessories, they are living beings who much like witches and humans feel fear and pain.
If Philip had the slightest moment of reservations about this, it was gone once his addiction towards palismen started.
I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!! Connecting the scenes was such a good idea! I love your Caleb animation, and the voice actors were phenomenal! Keep up the great work!
This literally makes me shake whenever I watch it cause of how good it is. Thank you for creating this wonderful masterpiece :D
I wish we got a episode of Belos past and what happened but JEEZ would it be dark😅 with all the 'using his own brother as a way to make clones of him to destroy the boiling isles' stuff
Oh my god, this is amazing!! The animation, the dialogue, the implications, goodness, you and everyone on this short did amazing! This is cannon in my head!
So…. Amazing… WORDS DO NOT DESCRIBE WHAT MY EYES SEE
There's a term for this. Sympathy for the Devil
I wonder what will happen in the final episode of owl house I want to see more of Phillip and Caleb's backstory
GEEZ this is AMAZING, you really should make a series of full episodes of this
Yoooo!!! You did a spectacular job!! :DDD
This is beautiful, you all did great
this deserves SO many more likes, beautiful animation and soundtrack! congrats to everyone on the team!!
Oh, my god, this is so incredible! 🤩😁👌🏻
such a beautiful animation!! what stunning and emotional work this is. i’m actually in tears
genuine chills always. even if the show ended almost a year ago, I will forever be so interested in the wittebane lore and what it does to the future characters of the show and how they are related. so well done.
