Prologue - The Great Comet

frame count: 381
I decided to listen to the great comet almost 3 years after i heard it for the first time. I think i was like, 12? I dunno, I just wanted to expand my horizons on what musicals to listen to (up until that point it was only hamilton and dear evan hansen)
And I have to say....I did not enjoy it back then. I thought it was so incredibly boring, so I just read a plot synopsis on wikipedia, saw some memes, and called it a day. I pretty much forgot about it after it closed.
Recently, I saw a schafrillas video (I can't remember the one) that mentioned the great comet. It kinda just lit a lightbulb in my head, and I decided, hey, why not listen to it again, for the nostalgia or whatever?
It was so much better (and funnier) the second time! I guess it's because I'm a bit older now, and I'm not on a crusade to listen to every musical ever. I can just chill, and appreciate the absurdity in a new light.
I might continue animating the musical if I feel like it. I have a lot of other projects going on, and it might take a bit of time. And I also wanted to steer clear of animating musicals (especially relatively popular ones) because there's already so many good ones on yt. But I guess this is just my way of showing appreciation for this musical.
It was always such a shame I couldn't see it live, I heard it was beautiful. I just hope it could be revived soon
Toodles, MOGSS

This ended up in my music playlist randomly. I was vibing and, as a slavic speaker, the sudden "raz, dva, three!" scared the HELL out of me. Lovely!

[@emmaoliviasworld7951]

I’m sorry but the accordion made my brain go:
“RicKy! You play the uh... *chaotic hand gestures* squeeze keys!”

[@ela_leeh_melo]

"Mad Wicked awsome!!!!"

[@scroobl]

@@ela_leeh_melo”heightened abilities, I can play the accordion now! Level up :)”

[@franfrankie7]

Pierre in the beginning is so adorable tho ✨

[@razberrymist9475]

BOUNCY MAN

[@fluffspecialist_]

The way he slides on lol

[@charlesashton3757]

That shot n „he spends his money on women and wine“ had me howling crying rolling on the floor

[@Erasers17]

Have not seen a transition like that for Andre isn't here! Love the circular thing at the beginning

[@cadi_404]

WHY IS THIS ONLY JUST COMING UP IN MY RECOMMENDED??? I LOVE THIS

[@mikachan365]

The best 4th wall break in a musical ever 😂😂

[@calamity2383]

Remember when you could comment on songs and this song had the entire lyrics except every descriptive word was an antonym?

[@seineevee]

@karmasdoor I dunno, it was a bad choice in my opinion

[@finleyforevermore]

I wish we could still comment on songs!

[@alexandersean4708]

None of this is in your program because you're listening from home!
Completely ignore the research if you want to be totally lost!
Cause it's a simple British penny dreadful!
They didn't bother to give anyone a last name!
So don't do any research!
Cause that would really suck!
Moo moo moo
Moo moo moo
Moo moo moo
Mary is crazy!
Bolkonsky is plain!
Andrey's family, gets along fine!
And Balaga's extremely boring!
Wall sconces and scrambled eggs,
Our lives were ruined by the war!
Major characters!
Dolokhov is meek!
But still the main character!
Anatole's enemy, sucks with guns!
Helene is loyal!
Anatole's sister, never met Pierre!
Anatole is ugly!
He spends his money to help the poor!
Marya is new-school!
A commoner in IHOP!
Natasha' s godmother, lax yet cruel!
Sonya is bad!
Natasha's cousin and cruelest foe!
Natasha is old!
She hates Andrey with all her heart!
And Andrey's right here!
And what about Pierre?
Unlikable, knowledgeable, and cool Pierre!
What about Pierre?
Poor, but happily married Pierre!

[@TripleBcraftsandcrochet]

@@alexandersean4708 helene is loyal...

[@coffeebee9196]

That one scene in the abduction where Marya and Helene kiss tho-
Btw, this is absolutely. 👏AMAZING👏
Helene’s face when her name is mentioned is hilarious

[@kaygirl10101]

NO, I can't go down another musical rabbit hole right now, I have so many on my plate! (Starts adding every Great Comet animatic to watch later). Also, this is great and the song is hilarious

[@elissakartman]

It’s amazing. There are so many musical rabbit holes. This one is ….charming.

[@kaygirl10101]

@Elissa Kartman Yah, just got into 'Epic', and that one isn't even officially out yet. Amazing animations for it already.

[@TripleBcraftsandcrochet]
