'Tell It Animated' gives information in a fun and imaginative way, with both colorful design and interesting topics from horror characters, superheros and sc-fi movies, and other topics!
Tune in for quality content put out as quick as possible (I'm basically a one guy team so a new video every few weeks is my goal).
Thanks for checking out the channel and feel free to support the Patreon linked below if you'd like bonuses and updates on the animations, as well as voting power on certain animations!

"Roll out!" Check out Optimus Prime's Evolution, now live on the channel! https://youtu.be/8n8II4w1a4k π€π
Thanks to everyone who voted in the poll at the start of the year. Definitely, the hardest character to design/animate won, but he was long overdue for the "Tell It Animated-treatment", so I'm happy with how the video turned out π Let me know if you liked the video and if you'd like me to cover more characters inside of this franchise - eventually, haha
-Aaron
PS. People have asked if I'm gonna cover the other characters that were included in the poll, to answer that I have no current plans in the schedule for the characters who lost, but I do hope to revisit those ideas in the future at some point :)

Cheers!

Happy St. Paddy's Day! π Here are some of the iconic Green characters I've covered so far on the channel. Kiss them, they're Irish, haha. I might cover another iconic green character this year, depending on how my schedule comes together. What other iconic green characters should I cover? :)
A new animation is only two weeks away, and I'm planning a release for the end of this month! It has some of the most detailed designs I've ever done, and I wanted to make sure it was top-tier since you all voted for it earlier in the year, so stay tuned for that!
Cheers!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you! π This Christmas party is getting very crowded haha.
This year I added Sonic the Hedgehog π¦ , paid respect to the classics like Wolfman πΊ and Superman π¦ΈββοΈ , finally got around to covering The Lost World dinosaurs π¦ , did another colossal group Evolution with the Fantastic Four πͺ¨π₯π¦ΈββοΈπ«₯, tackled another monster Explainer with the Conjuring Demons πΉ, and got maybe a little too weird with Silent Night, Deadly Night πͺπ .
Overall I had a lot of fun with these videos and it seems most people liked them, although I may have gotten a little too niche with some of the topics, so next year Iβll be covering some bigger and more requested characters, with maybe a weird one tossed in to please my odd obsession with strange cinema haha.
- Aaron
PS. Iβll be running a poll of sorts in the next few days to determine the first video of the year, itβll be based on requested characters and characters/franchises I didnβt have time to schedule this year. So stay tuned for that! :)

Which of these Bad Santas are you watching out for this year? πͺπ Silent Night, Deadly Night animation here: https://youtu.be/j1aTVmoOl6Q
Is this the weirdest franchise I've covered? Or does Krampus or Leprechaun take that cake? π ....mmmmmm...cake.
I'm probably the only person living who has spent 200 hours working on a single video for the Silent Night, Deadly Night franchise, but you know, someone has to do it π¦ΈββοΈ I love these little weird franchises, I know it's probably 10x more niche than Jason, Michael, or Freddy, but some of my favourite films are the small budget films I've watched for this channel.
The first video of the New Year will be a poll between 4 characters/franchises that I couldn't fit into the schedule this year, so I sadly had to bump them from a 2025 release, but they'll get a chance in 2026! I'll run that poll sometime over the holidays as a Christmas/New Year's gift from me to you.
Cheers!

New video coming out Saturday morning...that's right Xmas comes early this year! π Do you know what it could be? If you guess right, you could see your name at the start of the animation :)
This one is probably the strangest franchise I've ever covered...and if you recall, I've covered Leprechaun and Killer Klowns in the past, haha. But the weird ones make for the funniest and most interesting videos imo
Cheers!

I conjured something good up for Halloween leftovers π» Explaining well over 40 demons and spirits from the Conjuring franchise! https://youtu.be/CPCyj1cGHsc
Yup, I tried to get this one out before Halloween π, but alas, it came out the day after. Nonetheless, it was still out for the tail-end of the spooky season, when hangovers and sugar highs are running rampant.
I've wanted to cover this franchise in some way for a long time. While Annabelle made a small appearance in my Top 10 Horror Dolls video, I knew I could cover her much better in a dedicated Conjuring video, plus, I got the chance to perfect her design. I also got a chance to cover The Nun, Crooked Man, Bathsheba, and oh, so fun demons.
Most people didn't get the hint in the preview post, but I hope it was a nice surprise for all of you :)
Starting research on the Xmas video for the year, so stay tuned for that coming up! π

New video coming this weekend! Do you know what it might be? Guess correctly and you may see your comment at the start of the video :)
This'll be the horror animation for the Halloween season π a day or so late, but at least it'll be out for Halloween weekend!
Before I researched this franchise closely, I thought it would be one of the quick and shorter videos. Turns out this franchise has layers like an onion, haha. But I'm super pleased with how the video is looking so far. I'm just jumping into the editing phase for it today, so stay tuned for its release soon!
