BEHIND THE CURTAIN
Now you've hung your hat, and you've seen the writing on the wall
Just sit back and relax, we'll tell you all about the fall
Of the greatest mind, the ol' director pulling at the strings
Who thought the fool was Abel, and the wiser man was Cain
It's the Big, Bad, Clinically Mad, the greatest show you've ever seen
Yeah, we're Deep, Down, Below the Ground, where only projectors gleam
A world of Black and White, a place of magic putting life into your dreams
And when the credits roll, we'll be lookin' close to see
WHO'S BEHIND THE CURTAIN?
"Just a pencil and a dream," a modest proclamation of his goal
But no-one saw when it was spinnin' out of control
Every soul, every wish, all for one man's bliss
'Cuz all the good intentions don't mean a lick
In the pursuit of it, you still wind up down below
Well, the pipes they got a-pumpin', the beat of a creator's heart
Or that's what he had told them: just a "sacrifice for art"
And the walls, they turned to paper, and the ink began to fill our veins
Oh, it's easy to rationalize pain to the insane!
Oh, it's the Big, Bad, Clinically Mad, the greatest show you've ever seen
Yeah, we're Deep, Down, Below the Ground, without a hope to be redeemed
The only Man Who Saw the ego twisted behind the scenes
Was the one who set the whole production in full swing
WHO'S BEHIND THE CURTAIN?
What's the use of a hero without a monster to be slain?
And is he a man, who makes a deal that others have to pay?
"Every note, every take, every drawing you make,
Should be a fitting price, it's only you at stake,"
He made a living hell out of the wishes the maker made
Now, it's easy to see how one could be so charmed
By the draw of fame and success
But you'd think that the price would be cause for alarm
When an inky heart is all that's left! Oh!
It's the Big, Bad, Clinically Mad, the greatest show you've ever seen
Yeah, we're Deep, Down, Below the Ground, where only projectors gleam
A world of Black and White, a place of magic putting life into your dreams
And when the credits roll, we'll be lookin' close to see
Oh, it's the Big, Bad, Clinically Mad, the greatest show you've ever seen...
Take a Wild Guess who the hero of the tale is gonna be...
A world of Black and White, where it don't matter why you left or where you been...
You gotta be a man, and take the credit for co-writing the scene...
WHO'S BEHIND THE CURTAIN?
Bravo, another masterpiece! I am excited to see where the story in this song series goes.
Now part 3 time trilogy: the dark revival
Mile High Club Just Cause 2 ost
Waiting for the dark part?!
Bravo, bravo. Well done to you and everyone that made this possible.
I love this interpretation of Bendy. He's mad at Henry but genuinely does not want him to get hurt at the same time, its cute.
Ikkkk
But l still dont know why he fainted
@@blancagarcia480 His injury’s I think
@@blancagarcia480 I think it might be because he's probably been running around the studio off of pure adrenaline since welcome home and when he was going after bendy after the film reel head guy fight the adrenaline was wearing off? Plus idk if he ever actually slept since he's been their.
So he alive or not?????
Alice’s voice is so powerful. Definitely adds a lot of character to the song, and that’s all without mentioning the phenomenal animation.
Hailey is an excellent singer.
did u know boys simp for alice and girls simp for bendy
Ok I get random boys simping for Alice but people are simping for Bendy!?
No, my baby, bendy's voice beats angel's, just listen, build our machine and welcome home
This is giving Betty Boop, Marilyn Monroe and Jessica Rabbit all at the same time
FRR
@@NashimaSarip-gr4gz What means "Fr"?
@@agressive_gnom It means "For real"
@@Aliespresses Thank you :3
@@agressive_gnom No problem :)
It's so wonderful to see the Bendy fandom is still alive and kicking!
Hell yeah we are!
I’ve been with the game from the start. I will NEVER forget about bendy. he is the thing that brought me a lot of joy in my life and no matter what, bendy will always be in my heart. All the hate on the game won’t stop my love for bendy. The bendy fandom will never stop. (I know I’m overreacting, bendy is just my passion and it’s something I really love.)
Никогда не будет забыт, наш прекрасный фандом.
Люблю BATIM с 2017 года.
Митли думает о том, чтобы сделать фильм по игре, так что ждём)
Русский фандом жив!)
@@Liamandcrayonz019 Hey man, if you love our darling ink demon, then who can blame you? Especially with that smile!
@@Rqcooluo Yeah, but some wouldn't be blamed if they kinda fell out of love with the series after...everything's that's happened and the long wait. But hey, if I can wait all these years for another Wolf Among Us, I can always wait for more Bendy news!
I won't lie. My favorite part is Henry's flashback to finishing Bendy's original art design with a smile on his face...before getting a note telling him do it over again. He just looked so proud that the subsequent falling out he had with his boss hit that much harder. It's a sharp contrast to the grumpy gut old man he's been portrayed as in both animatics.
THE WAY HE BLUSHES AT HIS OWN DRAWING 😭
Real.
Wasn't Alice drawn to be beautiful and seductive?(Correct me if I'm wrong,I don't know a whole lot about the franchise, I just got into it.)Also I blushed at Alice too.
@@CtNobodyyeah that was how most cartoon women were drawn back then
@@CtNobodyWell, I'm not going to deny that because let's be honest, angel, if she's pretty
@@Pr0fessorUnkn0wnThat's true because bendy's time was from the 1920s-1930s
I love how bendy tries to scare the projectionist by doing the finger wag since for him it seems to work with everyone else
True but only works those who worship's him
The little bits are what really get me. The sketch drawings of Bendy, the models and how well animated they are, not to mention… Alice was a hoot! I can’t wait for more! Wish I could save all those little sketchy doodles for reference. I’d love to draw Bendy again!
I KNOW RIGHT!!!
I wasn’t working on it but damm I can relate
0:12 and scratches are on the clock, too!
I can’t wait to listen to this until my ears bleed
Lol
Me too i’ve watched is like 5 times
Me too 😅❤❤
Relatable
Me too
I had a BLAST watching the livestreams of the draft animatic being made, and I can just tell by the trailers that it's going to be more than worth those 2 years.
0:55 Calm down sir, its just a drawing. 🙃
💀
HE literally created her
No😈
HE BLUSHED
HE LITERALLY BLUSHED
i love how abundantly clear it is that you've taken inspiration from the movements and gestures of older cartoons and animations for Bendy and "Alice's" animation styles. like the slow and suggestive (for lack of better word) movements of "Alice" make me think of Jessica Rabbit, Meg from Hercules, Betty Boop, heck, probably a bunch more I haven't seen. even if i can't name 'em all, it's very obvious what your intentions were with animating "Alice" from start to finish. like, her closeups and singing on each TV screen, all the way to her movements on the big screen. you've probably taken inspiration from other actual female singers/actors from the past as well. for both the movements and singing. ("Alice" in quotation marks cuz that's definitely Susie Alice.)
i've also liked how the Welcome Home leitmotif starts (exclusively) playing at 2:49 and reaches a crescendo (i think) at 3:01 after Bendy starts smiling. and how at 3:16 both the animation and the lyrics are implied to be kind of elaborating on or alluding to some of what Bendy was singing about in that song. you could even hear a bit of it right before Bendy grabs Norman.
"Take a Wild Guess who the hero of the tale is gonna be..." with ink bendy in massive distress over what he's done to Norman and seemingly being ashamed of himself looking and being like that in front of Henry, knowing that it's not at all what Henry created him or wanted him to be like (hence the flashbacks)...
...that shit hurted. 😔😔
man, i just gotta say. i've been looking at your Bendy art and story for like, years (on tumblr). before BATIM was complete and chapters were still being made and you were still making up your own little rendition of the story as the game progressed. i'm really looking forward to seeing what you have in store for us now that the game's complete and you now have a much better idea of how you wanna mesh the game's actual story with your own.
bonus tidbits i've caught:
3:55 - 3:59
Henry: "Norman?!" _Henry stares at Norman in disbelief of what he's become, or if it even IS him_
Norman: "...?" _Norman stares back, almost entirely unable to remember that mentioned name and this man he's about to kill_
Bendy: "Well, well, well! If it isn't Henry?"
Joey: "Well, well, well. If it isn't my dear old friend."
Bendy: "Don't be such a stranger, old buddy."
Joey: "Don't be such a stranger, old buddy."
i love how you're paralleling these two. to me, it's very likely implying that Bendy is starting to become the very thing he TRULY hates, but has no idea. he sees Henry as Joey (not literally, yk), but is becoming more like Joey himself. it's crazy.
in the actual game, Joey's tapes are often found in places/areas closely relating to the Ink Demon. so that's another reason why i think it's cool you're still paralleling them here.
remember when so many of us thought Joey was Ink Bendy? haha, those were the days.
Interesting insight. Better than my first guess. Before reading this comment, I interpreted the voice at the end of this video as Bendy after changing into his more monstrous form.
It has been both a privilege and a really fun experience animating for this project and being part of the team👍
You were fantastic, Mario! Thank you!!
You did a splendid job! Thank you so much!
It was a pleasure working with you, too, Mario! Thank you for your incredible work!
🥰😍😘😗🥳🤠🥺 i love it
I love how Sammy was terrified of bendy and he could probably kick him across the room and how bendy was stomping like he was a giant XD
Bet he'd be bashed into the wall once he does that
The detail in this is awesome. I'd say my favorite part is at 3:55 when you can see Henry call out Norman's name, and Norman recognizes it. I found that cool.
Poor Bendy. Angry with his creator for leaving, yet hates to see him hurt. A toon becoming a monster and scared of what's happening.
This is incredible!! Looking forward to what comes next.
The short before the song actually premieres was a blast
There was a short?! I missed the premier cause I was at work. Do you know where to find it??
@@alexthewolfia7452 no im not sure where to find it sorry
@@cynthiaedith4122 Darn. Thank you!
Was it the one where Bendy pitches an anime plot to Henry?
@@IronKoloSnek no the one where bendy talks about boobs and the other where bendy uses 3D glasses and it shifts from an animated perspective to 3D
"Don't be such a stranger, old buddy."
now where have we heard that one before?
It's been so long since you came back home...
@@OtistheGOATis12 what i don't get it but did you just do WELCOME HOME reference!?!?!
@@timcarlisle2572 did you just have a stroke
I'm dying at the fact that Henry is like: 😳
The way Alice was designed and animated for this reminds me of Jessica Rabbit 😄 I think that’s really cool!
Overall the production for this song, storytelling, and the animated music video feels like a large improvement when compared to the song about Bendy 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😄
2:46 One little detail I noticed is that when the camera moves to Bendy after he catches Sammy trying to kill Henry, his (Bendy’s) shadow is actually his beast form. You need to pause at just the right times to see it, but it’s an interesting little detail I felt like pointing out.
Quite literal foreshadowing lol
Wait so Bendy is beast bendy?
OH HAILEY THIS WAS WONDERFUL! I was there for quite a few of the storyboard production streams, and its incredible to see this project in its final state!! This is such an interesting take on the bendy series, I cant wait to see where it goes next!! The teaser after the song has me kicking my feet here!!
Thank you so much for sticking around from start to finish! So glad you enjoyed the final product!
Wow! I didn’t think Bendy would snap out of his ink demon form and look so terrified. This is incredible!
I cannot explain how excited I am for this song to release- Thank you again Hailey and your team for another amazing song!!!
I’m looking forward to all the hard-work put into action. After the storyboard streams, the trailers, the music and the visuals, I can just tell this is going to be another masterpiece. ♥️
This is beyond amazing, the 3d models, the animation, Alice’s voice, bendy, Henry, the projectionist, Sammy EVERYTHING!!!!!!
It was so worth the wait, the animation, how stylized they are, the music accompanying it. It was all such a thrill to watch, couldn't stop bouncing in my seat. I appreciate everyone on the team who made this possible, EXCITED TO SEE MORE FROM YOU GUYS >:D
ehehe booba
I loved Welcome Home and looking forward to seeing all the hard work that's gone into making Behind The Curtain, Hailey.
Enjoyed watching the masterpiece being worked on during the livestreams.
"I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way"
-Jessica Rabbit
4:52 Henry still cares bout Bendy he want looking for him!❤
3:30 HEY, I was there for the making of this part!
Thanks for the heart
SLAY
You gave Alice Angel a kinda Jessica Rabbit feel to her character (Clever, a little flirty and don't need no man kind of feel) and on top of the classic take on the music, I think you portrayed her perfectly ^^
Your rendition of Alice Angel really has me out here questioning my sexuality-
Gorgeous art and song!!! ❤
Man this is a great song... I like how you turned Joey into a cartoonishly evil villain that's for some reason giving me mob boss vibes.
I honestly want a full fledged Bendy Show in style like this where it's mostly stylised 3d and 2d animation. Love Your Work!
What a thrill! I loved Welcome Home and I loved its remastered version, I'd say Behind The Curtain is going to be no exception, I'm sure it's going to be even better in every aspect!!!!
This was absolutely outstanding! Everything, the animation, the singing, the lyrics, etc. Hailey, you and your team deserve massive praise for creating this masterpiece! Thank you guys so much!
Oh and… “to be concluded?”. Just when I thought the hype couldn’t get any bigger! I’ll definitely be staying toon’d for that as well! 😁
Alice is like such an icon 💅
This. Is. Amazing! I was a huge fan of "Welcome Home," and even I have to say, this has improved immensely! The animation, the singing, and everything else was really, really good. I literally spent months struggling to learn the piano part to "Welcome home" because I thought it was so cool (I do not play the piano). And this was so much better! I tip my hat to you, Hailey Lain. This was by far worth the wait. Alice Angel is also my FAVORITE character, so seeing something that centered around her more than Bendy was awesome! I'm super excited to see what else you guys come up with, you rock!
4:22 FATALITY 💀
Truly, a WOMP WOMP moment
This lowkey has better expression and emotion than the actual games.
Omg this is literally "the greatest show i ever seen" !!!
I love how alice's voice is so thick but also veryy beautiful
This was amazing!! Everyone did such an amazing and beautiful job doing this. Also was I the only one getting Jessica Rabbit vibes everytime Alice was on screen?
Ikr?! Her movements and her flirtish personality here really reminded me of Jessica Rabbit!
It kinda reminds me of Mea West
@@silverstar1215 So it’s not just me?…..
Totally Alice is gorgeous! I think she was inspired by Jessica Rabbit and Betty Boop!
@@sonicfanboy3375Who's she?
I like Bendy in this video. He’s bad, but he’s more driven by his anger and hatred. He wants to hurt Henry, but he doesn’t want to kill him. Even when Bendy kills Norman/The Projectionist, he genuinely looks like he regretted killing him.
I realy like how Alice looks in this animation
Yeah she's giving me some major Jessica Rabbit vibes. XD
nobody gonna mention sammy's mask had emotion?
Alright, as a future 2d animator, this animation was just OUTSTANDING ! From the animation to the characters' expressions ! I just love everything about it ! It was really worth the wait !
Man... Now that i look back to the first one, i can see that i've really evolved over these last years... I used to draw THIS bendy in particular cause i liked his expressions and how he was drawn and acting !
Thank you for this "blast to the past" Hailey, you and all the others should be proud of yourselves, you've all done a fantastic job making this animation ! Hands down ! :)
Very excited! Loved the small comics at the start, and I bet I’ll love the music and the animation even more! It looks absolutely wonderful.
That Fleischer Studios undercurrent of scary ghosts and krazy paranoia is really used well here! This is my first look at this project, and it’s easy to see the love and care that went into this. The cel-shaded CG that mimics the look of old-timey rubber-hose animation is really nicely done. Applause to everyone on this film!
TOON NOIR at its best! LOVE IT! Congratulations on a masterful piece of work! A BIG round of applause for Jessica, Hailey and the entire creative team! Look forward to seeing what's next!
"Oh Henry, welcome home! You've been away for oh so long" 😈
This turned out AMAZING! Thank you so much for having me be a part of it.
Your trombone track really nailed those highs and lows and brought out a whole new dimension to the song, and of course I just LOVE me some good brass! Thanks so much, Cody!!
Alice angle looks so good😭
I love the bits from the previous song in this
2:50
Welcome Home was such an inspiration to me and this song is no different. The art, the animation, the music; everything is so well done! I've been happy watching this song progress from the different streams you had, and the perspective of the story you've chosen to tell has been really interesting to me. I'm definitely going to be here to see the ending. Thank you and your team so much for all your hard work!
This will be incredible, we will have a good show with Miss Alice Angel :3
fantastic work on this hailey glad to hear it finally released!
GONNA MAKE IT OUT OF THE STUDIO WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥
I don't know how to process the beauty of what I've just heard and seen. Everybody who worked on this did an incredible job!!
I love how the 3D models are in this, it’s like a mixture between 2D and 3D
I was ill prepared, but my hat is off to all the wonderful people who worked on this. Very good work!
the fact this was uploaded in my birthday
Okay! HOLY CRAP HAILEY!! This was one heck of an animation! The models for Bendy and Alice are so amazing! Even your beautiful singing!❤😍 Never stop being amazing! 👏
I absolutely loves this!! Alice being 2D most of the time was really cool because it was like she was still on paper before she became real. I loved the simple reaching through the screen and her hand became 3D for the one moment. Plus Henry's expressions were just so cute and just awesome! I love the designs and everything about it! I can't wait for the next one!
Jeez, its so amazing to finally see a sequel to this. I was a fan of Welcome Home back in the day, and seeing the remaster was amazing. But this? This is a work of art. Words cannot describe how awesome this song is, along wjth the animation! I love the touch of Alice's head seeming to have a chunk taken out of it while still looking like her usual self. Really adds the emphasis of the fact that this is a cartoon henry au-based animation. I love it!
Deep down bendy care's for Henry 🖤🖤🖤
Your animations are always stunning and so unique, a true pleasure to watch ! Even better when it exactly match the lyrics of the songs. Loved the Sammy Lawrence redesign btw !
I am hyped for part two of Welcome Home Its got me so HYPED!!!
I am now hyped for part three.
Alright, hailey I'm here Let's see what you wanted me to see
This is AMAZING!!! ♥ ♥ ♥
I love the 2D animated Alice Angel throughout the entire video and hope to see more of her!
The animation on Alice is just ......GODLY!!!!
1:59 when I see Alice
What a masterpiece. The lyrics, the beats, the atmosphere it portrays *chef kiss*
The bendy community is still alive after YEARS and I am happy to be a part of it! Your songs about the game are amazing I will never forget them!🥰
Alice Angle has a Jessica rabbit about her and I'm all for it great job
I would leave a comment saying how people are still using original models for Henry when BATDR gave us his canonical look, but it looks like she made original models and styles for everything. So all I have left to say is, this totally deserves to be "Welcome Home" 's sequel
ok i'm just gonna go out and say THIS IS AMAZING the amount of detail, the smooth movements the classic cartoon theme not to mention the work you put on Alice Angel cause she's gorgeous i give this animation song a solid 100/100 well done Hailey Lain
You did this beautifully, and Alice’s movement’s are graceful and move perfect with the beat of the music
The 7 minutes was worth it
Oh my goodness, where to start! This was absolutely beautiful!
Ok so first off, I adore the way Alice was animated and voiced here particularly. Everything was animated to perfection but Alice in particular looked so smooth and feminine with her movement. Haily's singing was also lovely and made Alice stand out a lot. I think this is the prettiest I've ever seen Alice look and sound.
Second, I love this portrayal of Bendy. I love that he's animated to look like his regular cartoony self in both this and in "Welcome Home," up until the fight with Norman which is just adorable. But also, this Bendy has a bit more depth than his game counterpart (at least in Ink Machine. I've never actually played Dark Revival so I don't know about him there). He was willing to fight to protect Henry but after he turns into Ink Bendy and murders Norman, he turns to kill his creator until he looks at Norman and realizes the monster he has become. He becomes terrified of himself and runs away before he can hurt Henry next. That is a LOT more character development than Ink Machine Bendy had.
This music video is a masterpiece overall and I can see how much hard work everyone put in here. I can't wait to see what you guys make next!!
Bravo bravo, bravissimo! You NAILED it. Thank you, and very glad to hear you enjoyed the video!
@@KaleiWorks You're very welcome! You guys did such a good job!
From the way you described it it makes me hope that in the next song Henry is able to confront Joey, Bendy forgives Henry, sacrifices himself to stop Joey once and for all only for Henry, Boris and Alice to save Bendy at the very last minute and all of them escape.
@@Firstborn0Raz That'd be perfect actually
I love this interpretation.
0:35 HEYYY I see that Anything Goes reference :0 I love this so much
1:04 simp alert
Oh alice I want to be with you
@@Misfitboy1969back off dude she’s henrys
NO SHES.MINE
@@Misfitboy1969 shut up
I remember first watching welcome home and thinking that your animation couldn't get any better, but you've proven me wrong, seriously I loved watching this.
Alice is just 😵💫❤️
I Like this take on batim, a little spin off sorta thing!! I was kinda skeptical of this bcuz I wasn’t a fan of an old song but this one was awesome!!
We gotta show this to pastra… unless Pastra has already watched this 1000 times
Loved the fluid animation and vocals! Great job to everyone who worked on this!
2:15 this is my favorite part (excited for the next one!)
R.I.P my boi :(
Wow, this animation was done extremely well on all fronts. This explained the plot 10 times better than the actual game did lol. The singing was phenomenal as well! Great job!!!
Hailey Lain, amazing music I love and keep up the fantastic work ❤
This was absolutely amazing. The Keyblack “rebrand” fit perfectly for this, and I’m glad to have been around for it.
I'd love a full length movie with these types of models, theyre so pretty and unique, being simple and expressive while not looking entirely goofy as some other 3d stylised animations. Also the music absolutely slaps, love the jazzy tunes and the sound effects, they add so much character to the video, like in the section where henry passes out, the music has that creepy sound mixed in with the jazz to make me feel a bit uncertain and complements corrupted alices appearence near him.
This song filled with charmed and very wonderfull
I love How even corrupted characters are in a cartoon/original style
We makin out of the studio with this one bois 🔥 ❤😮🎉
Keyblack liked this, didn't they...
Well thanks Key!!!!!!
I LOVE IT 🤩 AND CARTOON'S
I like how both Bendy and Henry got defensive when either one of them attacked the other even though they both wanted to attack each other they couldn't let themselves hurt one another.
Henry do be slaying with the axe tho.
0:58 henry is just like me when seeing alice
