  • this is what disney has been missing...talent

  • simply, i dont anderstein the video but is very good

  • This was supposed to be part of a movie Michael Vicari was creating. On his website he has character sheets displayed and mentions a full-length movie this was a part for. However the website has been unchanged for some years. I think the project was simply abandoned....unsure why.

  • Possibly one of the deepest, most beautifully done animated musicals I've ever watched.  Everyone involved showed such real talent. I give them a 100 out of ten ^_^

  • Err...I don't really understand it. Can someone explain it to me?

  • @Firehearte Simply put, the Jester killed the king for his wrongdoings.

  • Beautiful and sad

  • mind blowing i loved it

  • OMG! It is so cool!

  • Wow!!! Beautiful.

  • Ha I had to watch it twice but I think I get it now. The Jester is an awesome character but he could've had a more evil voice. Still, this is amazing.

  • This is what i call art at its best.

  • This doesn't look anything like Maya, did you guys use Bryce?

  • nope, its all maya

  • Hey, can you send me the song? I'm die hard for it.

  • Very powerful.

  • Wow. Just.. Wow.

  • Wow.

    That's all I can say.

    But, I was wondering if you meant to represent the jester as an angel of death, because that is almost what he seemed to be to me. The music was beautiful, and the animation was awesome.

  • yea you can say that, I never thought of that term but it's good-it fits

  • This is my absolute FAVORITE video on youtube! Its so amazingly done! The animation, the plot, the singing-its all fantastic! Great job to Michael Vicari! *thumbs up*

  • Thanks =D

  • This was wicked! However I did'nt understand why the jester killed him

  • The Jester didn't kill him. I think a rebellious/enemy knight or something killed him, according to the lyrics.

  • chess my friend it's a game, and in my view chess is like life.

  • Comment removed

  • This is absolutely amazing. The lyrics are awesome. I love the tie to Chess. I love the Jester. I love everything about this!

  • Brilliant animation mate, the music was jaw-dropping and makes me wish our orchestra at school was playing it. The composition was to a high standard with a nice tempo and choice of instruments. The whole animations was put together quite nicely with the camera movement, angles and the transitions between verses.

    If this is the standard for this short clip, can't wait to see what the rest of it will be like.

  • Thank you =)

  • Er, read it from the bottom up. :o

  • Thank you WuzzleFuzzle. ^^

  • Then all of a sudden a pawn black as the night,

    ran his sword through your heart and he blew out your lights.

    And all your white horses were flowered with rust,

    as your fairy tale kingdom was covered in dust.

    Little boy wonder, puts on the crown,

    weighed down by the burden, he trembles and falls.

    Down comes the game, pieces and all,

    with nothing left, he stairs at the board,

    counting the moments until we are born.

  • And shining white pieces, set up in rows,

    chained to there spaces with no place to go.

    Thoughtless creations in the shadow of silence,

    you fed them with shallow, words of obedience.

    But the words lost their meaning, not as you planned,

    so you sent them across to a far away land.

    In search of a dream, that's laden with gold

    while you eluded your sins on the warmth of your throne.

  • Come sit here beside me your majesty,

    and listen while I speak.

    And attempt to explain, how it was that this game was

    ripped out, from under your feet.

    Don't suppose you remember when you where small,

    you were given a crown, before you could crawl.

    And with it a gift, that came from the lord,

    the bright golden world in the shape of a board.

  • Anyone have the full lyrics?

  • It's beautiful! Just simply beautiful!

  • Beautiful! lol just plain beautiful! Good Job!

  • awesome animation

    the animator and friends deserve a high five for being awesome

  • so did the jester kill the king?

  • yes!

  • But who was the Jester really?

  • very very entertaining :)

  • I'm loving this! It's not perfect but it's a heck of a lot better than other stuff out there. I hope the creator of this decides to put up more parts of this movie of his. Can't wait to see the whole thing.

  • reminds me of a musical on stage in new york city during christmas

  • Love the set up, and the singing is exceptional. Is that original or from an existing musical?

    The animation is impressively grand, though there are lots of cracks that show where shortcuts and sloppy motion was used. But for the parts that matter, it's pretty good. Same with the lip sync - overall pretty good, but there are parts were time probably got in the way of improvement. Still, it's complete, which is damn impressive considering the length and number of shots!

  • I love the part where he sets off the atom bomb.

  • atom bomb r u sure it's a atom bomb????

  • oh no sry its not an atom bomb.....

    its a...hydrogen bomb??

  • it might be who knows for sure??

  • sry, actually its a radioactive chess board...

  • lol now that's funny thing to think but it could be ture lol

  • it might who knows for sure???

  • bomb???

  • Bomb.

  • BOOM!!!

  • Love the lyrics and the Jester. Awesome animation film man I hope you win a contest for it.

  • continue the series please i want to see more

  • that 1 dude is freaking me out!!!

  • Excellent! The song has been n my head for days now. If Michael isn't making money from his talent he should be >>

  • I liked when the entire swordfish plopped onto the plate! =D

  • I want to get this song on my Ipod...

  • oh my gosh.

  • There were moments when I could have sworn I was watching something by Disney. Nice.

  • Killer jester... I love it! Wish the vid had been longer though... the story needs to be told! Nice voice too whoever sang =3

  • ooh thank you very much :)

  • Your welcome.

  • Now, the lyrics are reposted. I have corrected some spelling errors from from the first lyric post, so i hope it's correct this time.

    Michael Vicari: I don't know what you have done, but this song and lyrics are stuck to my brain, and I am still singing it at work. :)
