If you really liked a certain part make sure to leave a comment on the persons individual upload! You can find their parts in the playlist > ruclips.net/p/PLHfMAdVeLI5ZB1sdd5F5TE8Ez1B15_oUD Also I recommend you check out some of SZA's music if you like this song! Some recommendations would be her CTRL album (specifically the songs Normal Girl, Prom, and The Weekend) and her newest album SOS (Specifically Kill Bill, SOS, and Ghost in the Machine)! And The Mountian Goats wrote the second song, I recommend you check out some of his music. My favorite albums of his are Sunset Tree (Try Up the Wolves and This Year) and Transcendental Youth (the songs Cry for Judas and Transcendental Youth are good!) The person who covered the credits song can be found here - soundcloud.com/claypup They have a beautiful voice and I recommend giving some of their covers a listen.
I honestly cried at the last part where Leopardfoot and Tigerclaw were talking to each other. It just hurts me knowing the fate of what becomes of the dark tabby. I just wish that things were better for him, and maybe then he wouldn't have gone down the path that he chose.
He was prophecized to be evil, but i wish that instead of running off or listening pinestar had tried to stop it from ever happening by raising him to be a good cat and being his sons role model and someone he could be proud to be related to,
@@gracieisthebest14 its wild that the prophecies are just literal self fulfilling. If they hadn't told Pinestar to kill his son ((and that his son was destined to be evil!) then he probably wouldn't have been so desperate to leave immediately. Maybe he would have still left, but the pressure to *kill his kid* was a huge part. or Brokenstar being "born evil" when really he grew up given to an abusive adoptive mom that kicked him away when he would try to eat/seek comfort as a tiny brand new kit! Then taught to fight brutally and given affection as a reward for that?? The prophecies are so silly, they just guarantee harm for the kids to then grow up wrong. Like The Three being given away instead of Leafpool just telling her father, the leader, who was super understanding! The dang prophecies just cause trouble -_-
I LOVED the ending bit of Leopard laughing with Tiger. Don't really ever see much of Tiger being portrayed as chill and controlled, let alone see much of the characters in general just being a family. Showing the hidden lines between the canon stories is one of the things I love most about the MAPs of this fandom. I love the whole pacing throughout this MAP too. You can digest the story and emotions super easily, and the smooth and slow pacing matches the somber music very well. Beautiful animations and backgrounds and designs all around.
Things the Erins should've done with Tigerstar: 1) Have him be Bluestar's apprentice. The way she responded to his betrayal, you'd've thought she thought of him as a son. It also makes more logical sense for her unwavering trust in him prior to his attempted murder. Why would she trust her former political rival's apprentice who she saw nearly kill a kittypet kitten? 2) Have Leopardfoot give him a life. Like, seriously? The fiftieth Whitetail gets to give him a life, but his own mother doesn't? His deadbeat dad (who I'd argue is a strong reason Tigerstar turned out the way he did) gets to give him a life, but the mother who stuck around and raised him as best as she could singlepawed can't? Unless she was so ashamed of him that she couldn't bear to even go to his nine lives ceremony, but even then, have him notice her absence. Something. 3) Speaking of Leopardfoot, have her be involved somewhere in the Final Battle. I don't think it's in her character to go full Yellowfang and kill him personally, but Leopardfoot should've at least been around when he died. Maybe she could be the one cat who's genuinely distraught that she doesn't get to see him ever again. Cause that's her baby! 4) Stop making New Tigerstars. Less about the Tigerclawstar and more about his descendants. They could've done really cool things with Hawkfrost, but no, he's Tigerstar Junior. And Tigerheartstar? There's no way in Hades Tawnypelt would've named her son after the father she tried desperately to forget. Thanks for listening to my Ted Talk.
oh poor leopardfoot...! this map really makes u realize how sad her life must have been :( all these parts were so awesoem! i rewatched 5 times!! everyhing looks so soft and cute, everything was so lovely! everyone did a amazing job!
this is true!! i feel so bad for leopardfoot because literally everything in here, i really want to read pinestars choice to read more. she definitely could be one of my favs
The moment of laughter with Tigerclaw and his mom just laughing together in the wood brings me so much comfort. This would also help explain more of reason he hates kitty pets, its because he loves his mother and kittypets broke her life in a way
And maybe he hated fire(paw/heart/star) because he was orange kinda like his dad and that other kp and he was also a kp so maybe he reminded him of that 🤔
the ending where tigerclaw and leopardfoot were just hanging out together having fun was almost the saddest part to me, because it showed that tigerclaw did have a caring side and loved his mother. happy mother’s day!
I've never seen a map for leopardfoot. And I'm surprised, she has such a sad story. Her mate leaves her to become a kittypet, he never loved their kits, her two daughters died, her son became kitty cat hitler. She's such a good character! After tigerpaw is apprenticed, she is still said too be protective over him and for good reason too. She doesn't get enough love.
A nice little detail I noticed is that before Leopardfoot found out about Pinestar meeting kittypets was the only time we saw other cats that werent a part of her story. After she found them, the only other characters being shown are Leopardfoot herself,her kits, Pinestar and Jake, showing how much she maybe felt distant from the other cats around her. Might just be interpreting way too much but if not, beautiful way of showing not telling!
Can we just appreciate how they portray Tigerkit(Claw/Star) as an innocent kit who seemed to comfort his mom? It would better explain his hate for kittypets!

this MAP is absolutely beautiful. I can clearly see how much care went into portraying this character in a human sense, on top of that a character who gets very little love and recognition by the fandom. Every part shows the heartbreak Leopardfoot feels when realizing her mate has left her and the Clan, her two daughters dying, and the ending part with her speaking to Tigerclaw is just insanely sweet and warm. thank you for bringing more love to this character!
Leaopard foot definitely was one of the characters with one of the saddest lifetimes in the books, pinestar leaving, two kits dying, then the last kit being Tigerstar one of the most evil cats ever, poor leapordfoot
@@kismetfolly4954 dude seriously. He was a full grown deputy having kits with her as SOON as she was made a warrior?! Its glossed over but damn, to turn and leave her alone after saddling her with babies when she was barely grown!
Awwww. I always loved Leopardfoot. Such an underrated character to me. The end scene where she and Tigerclaw were talking and giggling felt bittersweet, considering she would eventually watch him grow up to be a such terrible person (as implied by the cutscene), and be separated from him in death. This was a very beautiful MAP! The backgrounds, the animation, the lighting, and the emotions were flawless in every part! I also absolutely adore the designs! The Leopardfoot design was such a unique take considering she’s usually just portrayed as really dark grey with a few black spots, and I also love the mix of orange in Tigerclaw’s coat. Usually I just see him as really dark brown, but I think the orange mixes in really well! Especially considering he has “tiger” in his name. So anyways yeah! Great job everyone :)
I always felt extremely sad for Leopardfoot because she's very much a victim she was only 5-6 moons old when Bluekit was born, and Pinestar had long since been leader. And than he just leaves her, and she has no one to comfort her. And than her 2 daughters die, and her only son becomes a murderer
I love how she goes back and tells pine what happened to the kits, and his reaction makes her literally attack him! She wasn't some fragile queen, she was a damn warrior and she her reaction in the books made me want so much more for her
who else thinks Leopardfoot is underrated and deserves better also, not everyone watches the end credits, but 4:06 is an absolute masterpiece... chef's kiss!
Gosh.... seeing that scene between Tiger and Leopard at the end just makes you feel sympathy for Tigerstar. He probably loved his mother.... and in the end he became something Leopardfoot wouldn't be proud of...
I haven’t read to the part where Bramble’Claw leads but I have heard that he eventually becomes a good father towards the kits. I think they were adopted and Squirrel’Flight lied saying they were his right? And that’s why he was upset? I haven’t read to that part yet but I don’t care about spoilers
What are you even talking about? 🤨🤣 Tigerstar was evil but he still loved his kits. He was willing to kill himself to save Bramble from a burning tree. He wanted his kits out before he lead the dogs to Thunderclan. Tawny would rather have been with him than Thunderclan. Tigerstar HATED half clan kits but still favored Hawkfrost over any clan cat besides Bramblestar. We never saw how he interacted with Mothwing. Tigerstar was evil but not a bad dad. Bramblestar was willing to not only sacrifice his position as deputy, but his position in the clans as a whole to defend Hollyleaf. He also lied during that, he was just a father trying to protect his daughter. It did seem to show less of his fatherly side when Alderheart and Sparkpelt were born but he was also leader at this point and Thunderclan was in constant drama 😂 Tigerstar 2.0 gotta be the best father in the whole series. Dude would drop his whole clan to protect his kits and mate lol. He was ready to pull the plug in everythinf with the dark forest once he saw Shadow was safe lol.
Absolutely was beautiful. Leopartfoot was affected by Pinestar’s absence, and it’s shown so well here. Her anger, her grief, and Tigerkit just wanting his mom to be okay. Truly one of the best maps there is ❤️❤️
AAA THIS WAS SUCH A GORGEOUS & COMPELLING PROJECT!! The narrative of the map is so stunningly presented and all the participants did a terrific job on showcasing Leopardfoot's struggle and emotions. I feel so bad for her but I also can't help but feel bad for Pinestar too (since people also seem to ignore his side of the story :
Especially with the prophesy Pinestar was facing. Not like he could tell his mate what starclan told him. In the end, he lost the trust of his mate. Which I believe broke him inside. He seems like the kind of guy that loved her
This feels different than a lot of other MAPs I've seen in that it tells a story of suffering and loss without all the adventure and bloodshed that accompanies so many warrior cat stories. Sometimes, your husband leaves you and your children die of natural causes and it hurts just as much even if there was no war and no great evil at work.
AAHGFG THIS PROJECT TURNED OUT SO BEAUTIFUL, everyone did such amazing work!!! thank you so much again for hosting and for having me, i had so much fun and i learned so much :]
Ok, can I just say I LOVE LEOPARDFOOT’S DESIGN OML- But seriously Leopardfoot is so underrated. She became mates with Pinestar-an adult! And then gave birth to three kits, two of them dying and the other going on to become one of the most dangerous cats in Warriors EVER. I really wish there was a novella dedicated to her or maybe a super edition explaining her life and why she thought mating with Pinestar was a good idea, bec IT WAS NOT. And then showing her life after that in StarClan (and it would show how she died bec that was never explained) and how she watched Tigerkit grow up and become the cat he became. Idk I would just love a novella or super edition on her. Maybe it would be called Leopardfoot’s Denial or Leopardfoot’s Sorrow…CAN SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!! Btw I love this MAP it’s so underrated :)
AA GOSH, this turned out fantastic, everyone did amazingly! This whole map idea is just great and the end just broke me after just showing them having a happy mother and son bonding time damn Thank you so much for letting me be in another of your amazing projects !!
Even though Leopardfoot was only ever briefly mentioned and hardly talked about, she's always been one of my favorite background characters. Basically led on my Pinestar if you think about it, especially with the age gap. Then him getting his dream so he abandons her and the kits instead of working with them - so he leaves. His grieving mate, who lost her kits, and with a small innocent kit who hasn't a clue, but knows what his dad left and did. And begins to resent kittypets for it. And with Tigerclaw portrayed as this small kit, I feel like we really get to see there was definitely a lot of potential to see his loving relationship with his mother, contrasted with his hate for kittypets like his father.
I always love how this community takes the canon characters and give them the most creative takes - in this case, one I kinda really wish the Erins had done with Leopardfoot instead of just making her proud and kinda mean instead. This is is easily in my top five favorite MAPs! I love the song choice, the character designs, the fantastic animation and how well each part leads into the next! And that post credits scene was heartbreaking.
Honestly, I found it *really* disturbing on how Pinestar's almost like a grandpa and Leopardfoot looks like she just turned 20 (in human years, if u catch what I mean) had kits together, but hey? That's the circle of life for animals, weird but oh well-. Speaking of my weirded rant, I love Leopard's design so much! Idk why but it's just really, really good! But that aside, the shading, effort, enthusiasm and the work in general BLEW me away!!! This map is phenomenal! I loved every bit, every second!! Edit: Pinestar's a bitch, I can't believe he "went" to get milk for his kits and never came back, that's depressing!
@Unimpressively Me. As much as I like parts of Pinestar's character, the age gap with Leopardfoot is predatory and always was. These are heavily humanized cats, the "just animals" reason does not work with Warriors even though the fandom likes to pick and choose when that fits in. She's still a Paw, an apprentice, a teenager, in the books when cats first start commenting on their "chemistry" and Pinestar starts thinking of her romantically. Leopardfoot was groomed. Leopard was groomed by an older guy, watched him leave the clan without telling her his reasoning why, had to see her daughters both die, and had to watch her only surviving son turn into a monster.
This was such a fun and creative project! Everyone did phenomenal on their parts and the emotion of Leopardfoot's story really comes through. For a character who barely speaks she really does have a deep and compelling story, and the song choice and storyboard really brought that out. Congratulations to Dino and the rest, this is beautiful. I'm really glad I was able to participate, best two weeks of covid delirium I ever spent.
This is such a pretty, heartbreaking map. I really love the end scene with Leopardfoot and Tigerclaw, too, I can't imagine how she'd feel seeing what her son turned out to be.
Gives more appreciation to Leopardfoot as a character of her own! Love how this MAP focused on her life in a well done pace and how amazing everybody who participated did on their ends of the part! Overall wonderfully done! 💚💚💜💜
editing cause i rewatched this and i don't think my old comment really got across how beautiful i think this MAP is. i love how this MAP really just takes a minute to look at Leopardfoots life. her mate (who absolutely groomed her) left right after she had his kids with little explanation, two of her babies grew weak and died...yet, for the most part, she did her best to do with what she still had. Tigerkit. i always liked to think his hatred of kittypets wasn't because his father left to become one, but because that action caused his mother so much pain. not to mention how well all the animators did! the MAP looks stunning, and all the parts really get across the overall energy of the project. i love this MAP so much and it really shows why i love Leopardfoot so much.
CHILLS, THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!! love the character designs and how it shows all the pain that leopard goes through. the last scene with tigerstar talking to her is so heartbreaking knowing his future. all the animations are stunning and the scenes are incredible!!
Oh my word this has to be one of the highest quality MAPs out there, the animation is on par with Like A River Runs, Hand of God, and Rut! Every animator crushed it and you should all be so proud of your achievement!
This seriously turned out so beatiful, I absolutely love the end credits animation too😭💚💚 So happy to have been a part of this, thank you for having me!!! ❤️❤️
OH MY GOSH THE DIRECTION AND SCRIPT WAS PROBABLY KILLER!! I'm not even at this part and felt leopardfoots emotions the whole map was amazing and the animation was so beautiful together absolutely stunning YOU ALL DESERVE A STANDING OVATION!!!
AHHHH this was worth the wait I was so excited to see the premier 😭💖💖💖 this project is so lovely, everyone did an outstanding job, and I absolutely adore the relationship shown in this between mom and her son, even at the end. It’s a complexity I’ve only seen similar with Yellowfang and Brokenstar, and I love how you scripted it here 🥰🥰🥰
This is one of my most favorite warriors maps, no grand battle or plot or anything, just a mother trying fiercely. Leopardfoot is one of the most human warriors in the series. Thanks for this wonderful MAP!
WOW!!! Your art direction and the styles of each animator display leopardfoot's emotions perfectly! And I love how the voice-over of the mom speaking at the end of the song is still leopardfoot, just grown up and mature. Great touch! Thank you so so much for having me, this is going down as one of my all-time favorites!!
Tbh this reminds me of that one yellowfang quote: “my punishment wasn’t that all my kits died, it was that *this* one did” i feel like it really fits Pinestar since he refused to kill tigerkit and instead chose to become a kittypet
Let us remember that Bramblestars great aunts are Spottedleaf and Willowpelt, and his great uncles are Redtail and Patchpelt. Tigerstar killed Redtail, Redtail was his uncle. Tigerstar is also cousins to Graystripe.
ahhhh This is such a wonderful map! It gives both Leopard and Tiger such depth and I will forever associate this song with her. The emotions are so well executed, the shot with her crying against the tree was heartbreaking.
OMG as someone who’s been watching this project’s progress for months, I’m so happy to see it finally completed!!! Leopardfoot’s grief is portrayed beautifully here and there’s so much emotion in every part, not to mention that the backgrounds and shading/lighting are PHENOMENAL thank you so much to all the animators who brought this project to completion
This is a beauty. I hardly know anything about Leopardfoot as a person, but this has made me love her. The visuals, for one, are beautiful. Every animator did an amazing job! I love the designs and palette. This also made me appreciate Tigerstar a whole lot more, I’d love to see more of him like this, as a somewhat justified person. Want to see more of them now
This is such a testimony to the fact that evilness is not hereditary, nor does it need to be portrayed like that in Warriors. I wholeheartedly believe Tigerclaw had a good childhood, and was TAUGHT to be morally repugnant, rather than just being born like that. Seriously, well done guys.
We need a pinestar MAP.. where he was literally haunted by the fact that Tiger will be a mass murderer, this map catches leopardfoot so well, now we need one that caches pinestar
Coming back to this MAP after a while and man. This song just resonates with me a lot, and the way you''ve portrayed leopard in this. It's such a simple MAP but it hits hard. Thank you for introducing me to this song and to everyone who made this MAP possible!
This turned out amazing! I’ve never thought about background character’s perspectives a lot, except for Leopardfoot. When reading Pinestar’s novella (forgot the name lol) I was like, “wait, you just left your mate with 3 kits to raise without a father?? You didn’t even try to change your son’s ominous fate? Just run from responsibility?” Though I can kinda understand Pinestar’s temptation to just make an easier way of life without the stress of leading a clan at war and being told to kill his son, it was still upsetting to Leopardfoot and Tigerkit who had to watch him abandon them for the life of a kittypet.
Aw man this map was so bittersweet. I felt that part when she was lying down and just closed her eyes in defeat. This is super underrated and the art is just stunning,, feel like crying now lol especially at the end
Excited to see how this goes!! Thought I havnt been paying attention to the individual parts, waiting for the final product, I know already that each one is gonna be fantastic! Can’t wait to see everyone’s work
Such an incredibly beautiful and well executed mA map thank you so much for the opportunity to participate! I really enjoyed making my part and it’s so nice to see it come together :)
I FUCKING LOVE LEOPARDFOOT Erins please please please give us a book about her relationship with tigerstar I want so desperately to know what it was like,, THE SCENE AT THE END OF THEM TOGETHER
The idea of TigerClaw being a mama’s boy who is really kind and gentle to his mom despite being mass murder whos committed countless war crimes is amazing to me
this MAP is simply amazing, the participants did a BEAUTIFUL JOB!!!! and I love the direction of this MAP it's perfect, it's so calm and clear, there's no explosion out of nowhere, and speed, everything keeps a calm rhythm, I can't explain it, it's perfect
What a sweet MAP- I’ve never really even thought about her, as Pinestar is the more talked about parent. I especially like the talking at the end, so sweet
WOW... This is amazing!!!!! Literally such an incredible project, so, so pretty.. the expressions, the lighting, the playfulness at the end... I think I love leopardfoot now, haha!
I've been waiting fot this map!! The other day I was looking at the part list and I adore how all the parts were, I'm so glad is here. Everyone did an amazing job

The moment of laughter with Tigerclaw and his mom just laughing together in the wood brings me so much comfort. This would also help explain more of reason he hates kitty pets, its because he loves his mother and kittypets broke her life in a way
Well his dad also abandoned him to become a kitty pet
I know right, Alex Harrier is literally so good at showing/animating moments like those that aren’t fully portrayed in other ways.
And maybe he hated fire(paw/heart/star) because he was orange kinda like his dad and that other kp and he was also a kp so maybe he reminded him of that 🤔
ITS HEREE gosh the visual direction is gorgeous and everyone made such beautifully animated parts I’m in complete awe
I am obssessed with this map! Btw your animations are awesome
the ending where tigerclaw and leopardfoot were just hanging out together having fun was almost the saddest part to me, because it showed that tigerclaw did have a caring side and loved his mother.

Gosh.... seeing that scene between Tiger and Leopard at the end just makes you feel sympathy for Tigerstar. He probably loved his mother.... and in the end he became something Leopardfoot wouldn't be proud of...
I just realized the entire Pinestar line was a failure of fathers 💀 Pinestar, Tigerstar, Bramblestar
I haven’t read to the part where Bramble’Claw leads but I have heard that he eventually becomes a good father towards the kits. I think they were adopted and Squirrel’Flight lied saying they were his right? And that’s why he was upset? I haven’t read to that part yet but I don’t care about spoilers
@@DiamondTheFairy im pretty sure they have other kits other than hollykit, jaykit, abd lionkit
@@ShinkluvsyouAlderheart and Sparkpelt
@@Frostfern94 yea
What are you even talking about? 🤨🤣
Tigerstar was evil but he still loved his kits. He was willing to kill himself to save Bramble from a burning tree. He wanted his kits out before he lead the dogs to Thunderclan. Tawny would rather have been with him than Thunderclan. Tigerstar HATED half clan kits but still favored Hawkfrost over any clan cat besides Bramblestar. We never saw how he interacted with Mothwing. Tigerstar was evil but not a bad dad.
Bramblestar was willing to not only sacrifice his position as deputy, but his position in the clans as a whole to defend Hollyleaf. He also lied during that, he was just a father trying to protect his daughter. It did seem to show less of his fatherly side when Alderheart and Sparkpelt were born but he was also leader at this point and Thunderclan was in constant drama 😂
Tigerstar 2.0 gotta be the best father in the whole series. Dude would drop his whole clan to protect his kits and mate lol. He was ready to pull the plug in everythinf with the dark forest once he saw Shadow was safe lol.
Absolutely was beautiful. Leopartfoot was affected by Pinestar’s absence, and it’s shown so well here. Her anger, her grief, and Tigerkit just wanting his mom to be okay. Truly one of the best maps there is ❤️❤️
AAA THIS WAS SUCH A GORGEOUS & COMPELLING PROJECT!! The narrative of the map is so stunningly presented and all the participants did a terrific job on showcasing Leopardfoot's struggle and emotions. I feel so bad for her but I also can't help but feel bad for Pinestar too (since people also seem to ignore his side of the story :
Especially with the prophesy Pinestar was facing. Not like he could tell his mate what starclan told him. In the end, he lost the trust of his mate. Which I believe broke him inside. He seems like the kind of guy that loved her
@@chetarisin3035 Literally tbh
AAA I'm so happy this is finally out!!!! Everyone did such a wonderful job, thank you for hosting and having me!!
This feels different than a lot of other MAPs I've seen in that it tells a story of suffering and loss without all the adventure and bloodshed that accompanies so many warrior cat stories. Sometimes, your husband leaves you and your children die of natural causes and it hurts just as much even if there was no war and no great evil at work.
AAHGFG THIS PROJECT TURNED OUT SO BEAUTIFUL, everyone did such amazing work!!! thank you so much again for hosting and for having me, i had so much fun and i learned so much :]
Ok, can I just say I LOVE LEOPARDFOOT’S DESIGN OML-
But seriously Leopardfoot is so underrated. She became mates with Pinestar-an adult! And then gave birth to three kits, two of them dying and the other going on to become one of the most dangerous cats in Warriors EVER. I really wish there was a novella dedicated to her or maybe a super edition explaining her life and why she thought mating with Pinestar was a good idea, bec IT WAS NOT. And then showing her life after that in StarClan (and it would show how she died bec that was never explained) and how she watched Tigerkit grow up and become the cat he became. Idk I would just love a novella or super edition on her. Maybe it would be called Leopardfoot’s Denial or Leopardfoot’s Sorrow…CAN SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!!
Btw I love this MAP it’s so underrated :)
AA GOSH, this turned out fantastic, everyone did amazingly! This whole map idea is just great and the end just broke me after just showing them having a happy mother and son bonding time damn
Thank you so much for letting me be in another of your amazing projects !!
Even though Leopardfoot was only ever briefly mentioned and hardly talked about, she's always been one of my favorite background characters. Basically led on my Pinestar if you think about it, especially with the age gap. Then him getting his dream so he abandons her and the kits instead of working with them - so he leaves. His grieving mate, who lost her kits, and with a small innocent kit who hasn't a clue, but knows what his dad left and did. And begins to resent kittypets for it. And with Tigerclaw portrayed as this small kit, I feel like we really get to see there was definitely a lot of potential to see his loving relationship with his mother, contrasted with his hate for kittypets like his father.
I always love how this community takes the canon characters and give them the most creative takes - in this case, one I kinda really wish the Erins had done with Leopardfoot instead of just making her proud and kinda mean instead. This is is easily in my top five favorite MAPs! I love the song choice, the character designs, the fantastic animation and how well each part leads into the next! And that post credits scene was heartbreaking.
This really put into view how heartbreaking it was for pinestar to leave. And shows a cute sweeter side of tigerkit before everything…bad happened.
I love the relationship between leopardfoot and tigerclaw portrayed here
THIS GENUINELY FITS SO WELL BECAUSE WARRIORS RECENTLY TURNED 20 YEARS OLD!!!
Well, that's it, you drove me crazy. It's great map.
Honestly, I found it *really* disturbing on how Pinestar's almost like a grandpa and Leopardfoot looks like she just turned 20 (in human years, if u catch what I mean) had kits together, but hey? That's the circle of life for animals, weird but oh well-.
Speaking of my weirded rant, I love Leopard's design so much! Idk why but it's just really, really good! But that aside, the shading, effort, enthusiasm and the work in general BLEW me away!!! This map is phenomenal! I loved every bit, every second!!
Edit: Pinestar's a bitch, I can't believe he "went" to get milk for his kits and never came back, that's depressing!
Oooh it's always bothered me! And it seems she had kits very shortly after becoming a warrior so it's just aaaaa so creepy
@@catsinspace5058 ikr-
@Unimpressively Me.
As much as I like parts of Pinestar's character, the age gap with Leopardfoot is predatory and always was. These are heavily humanized cats, the "just animals" reason does not work with Warriors even though the fandom likes to pick and choose when that fits in.
She's still a Paw, an apprentice, a teenager, in the books when cats first start commenting on their "chemistry" and Pinestar starts thinking of her romantically. Leopardfoot was groomed.
Leopard was groomed by an older guy, watched him leave the clan without telling her his reasoning why, had to see her daughters both die, and had to watch her only surviving son turn into a monster.
I can’t believe Tigerclaw used to be like that 😢
This was such a fun and creative project! Everyone did phenomenal on their parts and the emotion of Leopardfoot's story really comes through. For a character who barely speaks she really does have a deep and compelling story, and the song choice and storyboard really brought that out. Congratulations to Dino and the rest, this is beautiful. I'm really glad I was able to participate, best two weeks of covid delirium I ever spent.
OH MY GOODNESS, IM LOOKING FORWARD TO IT!!!
This is such a pretty, heartbreaking map. I really love the end scene with Leopardfoot and Tigerclaw, too, I can't imagine how she'd feel seeing what her son turned out to be.
oml who is cutting onions.This map is amazing!
Gives more appreciation to Leopardfoot as a character of her own! Love how this MAP focused on her life in a well done pace and how amazing everybody who participated did on their ends of the part! Overall wonderfully done! 💚💚💜💜
LET'S GOOOO! THIS WILL BE AMAZING
editing cause i rewatched this and i don't think my old comment really got across how beautiful i think this MAP is.
i love how this MAP really just takes a minute to look at Leopardfoots life. her mate (who absolutely groomed her) left right after she had his kids with little explanation, two of her babies grew weak and died...yet, for the most part, she did her best to do with what she still had. Tigerkit. i always liked to think his hatred of kittypets wasn't because his father left to become one, but because that action caused his mother so much pain.
not to mention how well all the animators did! the MAP looks stunning, and all the parts really get across the overall energy of the project.
i love this MAP so much and it really shows why i love Leopardfoot so much.
Beautiful MAP, expresses leopardfoot's emotions beautifully and portrayed her relationship w tigerstar so sweetly... all the participants did so well!
CHILLS, THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!! love the character designs and how it shows all the pain that leopard goes through. the last scene with tigerstar talking to her is so heartbreaking knowing his future. all the animations are stunning and the scenes are incredible!!
Thats why Tiger claw did what he did, he felt bad and wanted to make her feel better, he possibly wanted to be leader to see her again...
Oh my word this has to be one of the highest quality MAPs out there, the animation is on par with Like A River Runs, Hand of God, and Rut! Every animator crushed it and you should all be so proud of your achievement!
This seriously turned out so beatiful, I absolutely love the end credits animation too😭💚💚
So happy to have been a part of this, thank you for having me!!! ❤️❤️
OH MY GOSH THE DIRECTION AND SCRIPT WAS PROBABLY KILLER!! I'm not even at this part and felt leopardfoots emotions the whole map was amazing and the animation was so beautiful together absolutely stunning YOU ALL DESERVE A STANDING OVATION!!!
The after credits sequence was soooo goood!!!
Im sorry but tigerstar as a kit in this with the design is adorable
AHHHH this was worth the wait I was so excited to see the premier 😭💖💖💖 this project is so lovely, everyone did an outstanding job, and I absolutely adore the relationship shown in this between mom and her son, even at the end. It’s a complexity I’ve only seen similar with Yellowfang and Brokenstar, and I love how you scripted it here 🥰🥰🥰
This is one of my most favorite warriors maps, no grand battle or plot or anything, just a mother trying fiercely. Leopardfoot is one of the most human warriors in the series. Thanks for this wonderful MAP!
WOW!!! Your art direction and the styles of each animator display leopardfoot's emotions perfectly! And I love how the voice-over of the mom speaking at the end of the song is still leopardfoot, just grown up and mature. Great touch! Thank you so so much for having me, this is going down as one of my all-time favorites!!
Tbh this reminds me of that one yellowfang quote: “my punishment wasn’t that all my kits died, it was that *this* one did” i feel like it really fits Pinestar since he refused to kill tigerkit and instead chose to become a kittypet
Let us remember that Bramblestars great aunts are Spottedleaf and Willowpelt, and his great uncles are Redtail and Patchpelt.
Tigerstar killed Redtail, Redtail was his uncle.
Tigerstar is also cousins to Graystripe.
I just realised that tiger star killed his uncle, red tail. like what! also obsessed with this map!
Ngl this made me realize another reason why TigerClaw prob didn’t like kitty-pets due to the experience with his dad leaving to be kittypet
ahhhh This is such a wonderful map! It gives both Leopard and Tiger such depth and I will forever associate this song with her. The emotions are so well executed, the shot with her crying against the tree was heartbreaking.
I can’t stop rewatching this map 😭😭😭😭 even tho I don’t know much about leopard’s early life, I didn’t even know she was tiger’s mom 😭😭😭😭
OMG as someone who’s been watching this project’s progress for months, I’m so happy to see it finally completed!!! Leopardfoot’s grief is portrayed beautifully here and there’s so much emotion in every part, not to mention that the backgrounds and shading/lighting are PHENOMENAL thank you so much to all the animators who brought this project to completion
this is what the warriors fandom needed
This is a beauty. I hardly know anything about Leopardfoot as a person, but this has made me love her.
The visuals, for one, are beautiful. Every animator did an amazing job! I love the designs and palette.
This also made me appreciate Tigerstar a whole lot more, I’d love to see more of him like this, as a somewhat justified person. Want to see more of them now
This is such a testimony to the fact that evilness is not hereditary, nor does it need to be portrayed like that in Warriors. I wholeheartedly believe Tigerclaw had a good childhood, and was TAUGHT to be morally repugnant, rather than just being born like that. Seriously, well done guys.
Tiger kit looks so cute in this map 🥺🥺🥺
Sad to see how caring Tigerkit was once- only to become one of the most evil cats the clans have ever faced.
We need a pinestar MAP.. where he was literally haunted by the fact that Tiger will be a mass murderer, this map catches leopardfoot so well, now we need one that caches pinestar
Coming back to this MAP after a while and man. This song just resonates with me a lot, and the way you''ve portrayed leopard in this. It's such a simple MAP but it hits hard. Thank you for introducing me to this song and to everyone who made this MAP possible!
I cannot get over how gorgeous this turnout is, there's such a solid flow to it 😭
OMG I ADORE THIS MAP! Leopardfoot is such an underrated character so it’s nice to see her getting some appreciation
This turned out amazing! I’ve never thought about background character’s perspectives a lot, except for Leopardfoot. When reading Pinestar’s novella (forgot the name lol) I was like, “wait, you just left your mate with 3 kits to raise without a father?? You didn’t even try to change your son’s ominous fate? Just run from responsibility?” Though I can kinda understand Pinestar’s temptation to just make an easier way of life without the stress of leading a clan at war and being told to kill his son, it was still upsetting to Leopardfoot and Tigerkit who had to watch him abandon them for the life of a kittypet.
that lighting is beautiful on the thumbnail also love the map :D
Yeah Pinestar really did leopardfoot dirty just leaving her like he did
Aw man this map was so bittersweet. I felt that part when she was lying down and just closed her eyes in defeat. This is super underrated and the art is just stunning,, feel like crying now lol especially at the end
Excited to see how this goes!! Thought I havnt been paying attention to the individual parts, waiting for the final product, I know already that each one is gonna be fantastic! Can’t wait to see everyone’s work
Leopardfoof it definitely one of my favorite characters. Thank you for making this map.
Such an incredibly beautiful and well executed mA map thank you so much for the opportunity to participate! I really enjoyed making my part and it’s so nice to see it come together :)
This was amazing!! I love how it showcased an underrated character! All the animaters did a fantastic job!!
Leopardfoot really deserved this MAP and more respect from Pinestar 😮💨
Ah. This brings me back to when I read these books as a kid.
However, my favorite character will always be Rus- I mean Firestar
i just recently joind the fandome 2019. still my favorite bookseries/fandome
YES I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS IT’S GOING TO BE SO GOOD 🎉🎉🎉
The FBI likes warrior cats. Who knew
About time leaopardfoot got some love. Thank you for making this map!
It’s been 4 months and I still love this map! The art is wonderful, the characters are wonderful and the song is amazing!
Tigerstar having a high, female sounding voice is... It's my new headcannon
Jeez, this gives me some seriously complicated feelings about Tigerstar; especially the last few parts. excellent work.
I FUCKING LOVE LEOPARDFOOT Erins please please please give us a book about her relationship with tigerstar I want so desperately to know what it was like,,
THE SCENE AT THE END OF THEM TOGETHER
WAIT WHAT RHE FUCK THERES ANITHER SCENE AFTER THE CREDITS
STARTS CRYING NOOOO I JUST WANT HER TO BE HAPPY
Amazing job everyone! This was so expressive and beautiful
I am living for the day where we get a super edition on when Tigerstar was still little and wasn’t evil, who’s with me?
The idea of TigerClaw being a mama’s boy who is really kind and gentle to his mom despite being mass murder whos committed countless war crimes is amazing to me
What a gorgeous map!! Everyone did such a beautiful job
this MAP is simply amazing, the participants did a BEAUTIFUL JOB!!!! and I love the direction of this MAP it's perfect, it's so calm and clear, there's no explosion out of nowhere, and speed, everything keeps a calm rhythm, I can't explain it, it's perfect
AAAAAAAAA this map is amazing all of the animators did a amazing job
UGHH THIS MAP WAS SO GORGEOUS
What a sweet MAP- I’ve never really even thought about her, as Pinestar is the more talked about parent. I especially like the talking at the end, so sweet
WOW... This is amazing!!!!! Literally such an incredible project, so, so pretty.. the expressions, the lighting, the playfulness at the end... I think I love leopardfoot now, haha!
THIS IS SO FREAKING GOOD! One of the Best Warriors map i've ever seen
I like to believe that Leapordfoot was the only cat Tigerstar actually loved. His mother. Her death probably impacted his path a large bit.
I've been waiting fot this map!! The other day I was looking at the part list and I adore how all the parts were, I'm so glad is here.
Everyone did an amazing job
This put me in literal tears towards the end part oml this was so beautiful, awesome job to everyone in this map!!!
What a well thought out and beautifully executed project!!! Been excited for this to come out :)
