A film I made with elephants in it, and a bunch of other things too.
This was my third year film at RMIT University, Bachelor of Animation and Interactive Media, and the winner of Best Australian Film at MIAF 2014.

If I ever won the lottery, I would commission Felix to write and direct his own 10-episode series of cartoons. No strings attached, I just want to deove deeper into this beautiful mad man's mind.

What I absolutely love about this video is that while it looks like something absolutely random, you can see a certain logic in this world.
No, it is very natural. If you walk around the meadow IRL and randomly point camera here and there, you will record random things. But mostly, somebody eating somebody.
No wonder has has won awards as an animator, he has a very interesting style and an amazing imagination. Dude, you need like your own show in Adult Swim or something.

Prakriti It’s a drug that causes hallucinations, among other things. You may know it as shrooms or acid. “LSD” stands for lysergic acid diethylamide

Same.
This is *so weird.* I must show my beloved _immediately._
AJ D yeees! I did the same thing
God bless you both lol
This is exactly why I love animation! :) We are so used to everyday streams of fakeness that everyone has been tuned to it and became immune. But animations are still uncensored for the better part, and totally good for opening peoples eyes, which are starving for the weirdness of such... as our minds mirror what's mosly seen, pictures in animations exaggerate aspects of reality making it shockingly strange, yet still true. One cannot express emotionality any better.
I dont have a beloved but i have a cat.

This episode of Nat-Geo was brought to by:

@@mosterchife6045 that kinda ruins the joke, the drug thing it's overdone but a poison trip sounds a lot more jarring... and funnier, like bam! you licked the wrong frog and now you're going to die but not before having the trip of your life.
3:16 that run animation is so smooth
I like how in his animations we never really get a sense of scale, so we just have to imagine how big these creatures are
This is sad knowing all those beautiful creatures will eventually become one of Double King’s crowns....

0:50 i like how the llama was so chill like "welp guess it's my fate"
It was so cute. I am sad about it.
More like "guess I'll die"
This is not the Llama's first time. For unbeknownst to the grass giant, the Llama is not the pray.
I can't get over how perfect this is as both a final beautiful sendoff to Felix's old style, and a graceful transition into his new one.
1:55 reminds me of an Australian children's book I can't remember what its called but its about a frog who drank all the water and the other animals had to make him laugh so he'd let it out

It's up there with that trippy scene in Dumbo 😄
Now what are you searching up on RUclips there?
Years later and I’m just now noticing pretty much all of the clips shown are representing the circle of life
I’ve watched this dozens of times before, but this is the first time while high as a kite. And everything is different. The instruments in the songs are intensified, almost creating a new song altogether. And let me say, I am a fan both ways. Truly stunning work
Watch it while candy flipping it’s amazing
The fact you can even explain this while your high is impressive
I love the style!
It reminds me of being a kid and not understanding everything fully.
Edit: Holy shit this comment got a lot of attention.
To clarify, I was referring the level of complexity of the world Felix Colgrave created in this animation and comparing it to how, as a child, it takes time to understand how the different aspects of our world are connected. For example, how the smallest insect or blade of grass impacts the world around it, and how many other organisms depend on that one insect or blade of grass.
Also, I did have a kinda messed up childhood for those wondering lol. While I wasn't high as a kid like some of you were suggesting, my biological father was often high or drunk off his ass. That and I watched the shit out of Adult Swim from age 3 and up, so watching trippy animations was a norm for me growing up.
+xxWinglessWolf The mistake many people do when growing up is deluding themselves that they actually know anything about reality and its implications.
RUclipsr
*takes a hit*
whoah man so deep
TheWinglessArtist I
TheWinglessArtist so you were high as a kid? huh
i think he was implying that as an adult you will not understand anything in Colgraves world, in similar way a kid dont understand this world.
I love how we constantly shift between the big and the small. How, things are so infinitely complex if you shift your perspective.
Yet, one thing is simple throughout, life is brutal and beautiful.
Just like real live
The small of quatum world and masive of multiverse theory
Those grass teeth masticating in peristalsis motion is now my utmost favorite visual bar none.
i remember seeing this as a kid and being so weirded out by it, but i just stumbled across it again and gosh this is an absolute masterpiece, love every part of it :)
1:02 the teeth movement is so satisfying

You need more likes my friend
hahahaha I just took lsd and I can't stop but laughing at this comment after this vid xD
Well you're fucked
I'm in the AIM course at RMIT right now. They still show us your films! Thank you for being my inspiration 😊
I’m just starting my learning and practice as an animator, all the creatures and the ecosystem you’ve created here is wonderfully imaginative and inspiring! Thank you for showing the world what’s possible with this amazing medium, keep making incredible things!
Do you think watching this high would even change the experience.
Cyborg Lion maybe you'd feel like you're in that world instead of observing it lol but I see what you mean
Wait, telling me im not already high?!
No
I actually saw it under the effect of the drugs
@@chingwaza wait there are people that watch this while not being high? I only watch this high and it's completely amazing!
I love surrealism, especially in animation.
You never mention this during your playthrough of "I have no mouth, but I must scream"
That was awesome
And who doesnt
Funny to find you here
.🤔😑.
So incredible interior world...
The music is magic!
This is one of my favorite animations. Great world building and creature design. Reminds me of when I was a kid and I would love to draw bizarre alien worlds.

psychologist: how does his videos make you feel?
me: 𝙮𝙚𝙨
"Yes" what?
@@pifflesomepuffnadder855 r/woooosh
@Bryce Ko I don't t freaking get it though!
Can you please explain?
@@pifflesomepuffnadder855
The reason it says "Yes" is because "Me", the person writing the meme, simply chooses to not answer directly and just say "Yes", which means several things related to the question or just none of them at all.
Get a new psychologist
This is such an experience while your tripping. Masterpiece all around
this is the greatest nature documentary ever created, all of these beautiful elusive creatures found on ###### are usually so difficult to capture even if just with a camera. Well done, Felix Colgrave.
So basically the theme of this one (as I see it) is "There's always a bigger fish". Those who think they're in power or seem to have the upper hand are often only more powerless to a being bigger than themselves, whether that being is their original prey or a completely new entity.
I'm pretty sure you weren't supposed to find meaning in this one
@@smokeymokey3002 yeah maybe, but that won't stop me from grossly over-analyzing it
The cartoon is made for everybody to have fun. If you have fun analyzing it, then do it.
@@user-vj5tz8vo3k Thanks man :D
@@smokeymokey3002 the abscense of meaning in this animated piece may be a clever demonstration of the absurdity and meaninglessness of our life.

And that was a masterclass of repetition, contrast and rhythm. Your jobs are top-notch, and quite unique.
The fact that the Llama/Alpaca doesn’t haves legs is blessed, the the giant creature that has holes on the back of it making babies, and the hummingbird scene made my day

That's one of the worst one's yet. These memes are unfunny.
I learned from Felix's videos that for any creature, no matter how beautiful or happy it thinks it is, there is always another that is going to swallow it or slaughter it in the worst way possible.

rockboiler I thougth the same, but i was lazy to do it
rockboiler hey i have spore too
HEY YOU STOLE MY WISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think Felix is one of those artists who really understands the power of cycles on a spiritual level - all these rhythmic, cyclical movements in his animation (complementing they cycles of the music), paired with these cycles of day and night, birth, life, death, and consumption. A beautiful portrait of life as a whole, a wheel, in apparent perpetual motion. Horrifying, ugly, beautiful, funny. Still resonates with me all these years later.
Been loving your recent work too
I cannot describe how much exactly I want to be permanently watching this for at least two hours, in my eyes.
