"OPEN THE GATES!" 🔥🐢 The Evolution of Bowser is now live! https://youtu.be/g3g2bCz30QM

I can honestly say this turned into one of the strangest Evolution videos I've ever made. I kept uncovering bizarre early Bowser designs and forgotten appearances that I’d never seen anyone talk about before. Bowser’s journey to becoming the King of the Koopas we know was weird, haha.

Got a few different ideas brewing for the next animation, but for now, enjoy this deep dive into Bowser’s evolution!

New video coming Saturday! 🔥 Do you know what it is? Guess right, and you could see your comment at the start of the animation :)

It will feature approx. 80 designs and covers decades of history - I discovered weird versions of this character that I haven't seen anyone ever talk about, so I'm excited to share everything I've learned with you all Saturday morning. It's the longest cartoon I've created since my Iron Man video. 🙌

Stay tuned!

Check out the infographic for Optimus Prime! As seen in the latest animation on the channel here: https://youtu.be/8n8II4w1a4k Defintely one of my most detailed videos :)

I've had a lot of people ask why I didn't cover the TV versions in the video. I initially did the research for movies and TV shows, but the script got too long to include every version, so I decided it would be best to focus on theatrical releases and then return to the TV versions later on - maybe whenever a new Transformers TV show or Movie comes out. 🤖🚚

You can see the infographic and article covering Optimus Prime on the website, here: www.tellitanimated.com/blog/the-evolution-of-optim…

PS. The next video will be out mid-May, there's a lot of designs - thankfully not mechanical, haha - but it's super interesting, I'm finding things in history I've seen nowhere else before. So I'm excited to show you that one, stay tuned!

"Roll out!" Check out Optimus Prime's Evolution, now live on the channel! https://youtu.be/8n8II4w1a4k 🤖🚛

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 👍 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 :)

New video coming Saturday morning! Do you know what it could be? You should, you all voted for it at the start of the year 😀🗳️ Guess right and you could see your name at the start of the animation!

This video took a little extra time to make because of all the details, but I hope it will be worth the wait 🙌

Cheers!

Happy St. Paddy's Day! 💚 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! 🎄 This Christmas party is getting very crowded haha.

This year I added Sonic the Hedgehog 🦔 , paid respect to the classics like Wolfman 🐺 and Superman 🦸‍♂️ , finally got around to covering The Lost World dinosaurs 🦖 , did another colossal group Evolution with the Fantastic Four 🪨🔥🦸‍♂️🫥, tackled another monster Explainer with the Conjuring Demons 👹, and got maybe a little too weird with Silent Night, Deadly Night 🪓🎅 .

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 I’ll 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. I’ll be running a poll of sorts in the next few days to determine the first video of the year, it’ll be based on requested characters and characters/franchises I didn’t have time to schedule this year. So stay tuned for that! :)

Which of these Bad Santas are you watching out for this year? 🪓🎅 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? 🎂 ....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 🦸‍♂️ 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! 🎄 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!
