  • It's like they're your family! *eye twitches*

  • Ok I gotta agree with Montag on this one. That show Mildred is watching is mindless garbage.

  • i think you didnt do very good on following the book...sorry

  • Just one thing: it's "mechanical hound" not "electronic hound". I realize that's perhaps a bit nit-picky, but it bothered me to see you get something simple like that wrong. They are not the same thing. Mechanical makes you think of moving parts, while electronic makes you think of computers and such. (At least in my mind.)

  • The movie itself summarizes the book rather well. I wouldn't recommend using it as a substitute for not reading (ironic...?) just because there's a lot of omitted detail. Of course youtube has it's limits so I digress.

  • What is this background music/creepy tunef from?

  • @LavaFlaminG6 Donnie Darko.

  • Still the book is SOOOO much better than the movie

  • One thing though, "...and he'd do anything to save the things he once BURNED." Burnt is the past tense of burn, burned is the process of burning...

  • @3046718pancakemix Yep. I'm honestly surprised I didn't make even more spelling errors when I made this way back when.

  • @3046718pancakemix Hey grammar cop, perhaps it's better to know what you're talking about before criticizing. BOTH burned and burnt are acceptable spellings of the past tense of burn. Look it up.

  • @madmartigan21 Burned-

    a. To cause, to undergo combustion.

    b. To destroy with fire: burned the trash; burn a house down.

    c. To consume (fuel or energy, for example): burned all the wood that winter.

    Burnt-

    1. affected by or as if by burning; charred

    Now, this is being a grammar cop. 

    While both are 'ACCEPTABLE' in middle school, this is the exact definition. All I did was point out that burned was the past tense of a VERB, and burnt is an ADJECTIVE. Don't freak out, it's over.

  • I'm reading this for the second time since high schoo, and personally, I still hate it. Its boring, and parts too spastic. Like the animation though!

  • what's the music in 14:28?

  • @monus782 I'm pretty sure it's from the beginning of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

  • Thanks this helped. :) and it was funny

  • You really need to read the book to get it

  • i like the operators O.o

  • Love the Donnie Darko score.

  • has a very eerie vibe to it. i like how the story was improvised.

  • should have put the logo on the firehouse

  • I could have wacth this and not that dumb book.......

  • te faltaron algunos detalles pero lo hiciste muuuy bien :D

  • simply brilliant..plus all this is between the lines...

  • books are retarded...

    this is actually the worst book ive ever read...

  • This is great man good job!! I even got freaked out by the operators!!

  • OMG. I was dreading to read this...until now.

  • At the beginning Montag has red eyes and later on has blue. Did you do this on purpose, as everyone good has blue eyes while everyone bad eg. mechanical dog has red eyes.

  • @AH7012 That's about the gist of it. It's a bit heavy handed I admit, but it's a clear visual way to show who's "enlightened" and who is not.

  • Great job dude. I wish Bradbury could see this. Cheers.

  • @uarecaught, his name is Ray Bradbury

  • I love how when he's running from the cops, he looks like a ninja

  • Beatty had that pedo-smile going at 13:18

  • Is this really how the story went, or at least even close to Rad Buray's book?

  • Compliment for your cartoon Fahrenheit . Would be good if you make a cartoon of Brave New World, wrote 1932 by Aldous Huxley.

  • oh my god, i love your video!

    its so amazing, GREAT JOB!

    and thank you by the way :) +

  • I like your additional dialog...

  • You could have followed the book more. You left out some crucial parts. but overall it was not bad. and the music was awesome.

  • THANK YOU NOW I DONT HAVE TO READ THIS BOOK BUT REALLY THANKS

  • i need to go back and read that book again lol

  • I love how the end song is from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. xD

  • You just had to get the Bush dig in there didn't you?

    However, it was very good. Quite interesting was the way the animation style and shapes are so simplistic and yet small details so complex. Almost as interesting is the use of on screen text for dialog in a story where reading is forbidden.

    The juxtaposition of texture and fine hairs and such simple art style and method of dialog help push this far above my expectations. You surpass your limitations while somehow working within them.

  • needs work dud

  • Great work! I really enjoyed the placement of your music. :D

  • So if red eyes symbolize brainwashing and blue eyes represent free thinking. Then what are the 2 people who helps montags wife because i can't tell what there eye color is.

  • Thanks you really make me want to read this book, which i will when i can find it.

  • Whats the beginning music from it sounds familiar

  • @SuperDogbiter It's from the Donnie Darko soundtrack.

  • this is really good! Excellent job. Good choice and placement of music too. what is the music when he is with faber? the piano?

  • @Voileen It's from Donnie Darko. Great soundtrack.

  • Excellent job. I really liked the way you made the hound. A very accurate rendition of the book btw.

  • By the way did you animate this by yourself cause thats some good work. Thanks for the help. i need to watch this for a book report

  • @diesel122093 Sure did, and you're welcome.

  • Faber looks like Stewie Griffin from Family Guy

  • man, this is awesome. you have to put out the sounds you used in the description.. speaking of which, whats the thing used in the faber scene?

  • The operators are awesome :P

  • I really hate Mildred

    Shes a fucking moron

  • I commend you for a humorous video that stayed true to the plot and the overall points made in the book:)

  • This was pretty good, but anyone who says that an animated version is better than the book should not be reading this kind of book...

  • hahaha i loved it thought it's big i coldn't stop to remember the story. I read this great book more than 4 years ago and i wasn't a big fan of the movie but i enjoyed this animation! Thanks

  • The Mildred scene is friggin hilarious. Now every time I see somebody wasting their life watching brainless reality tv or other such crap, that "dee da dee da dee da doh doh" starts echoing in my head. Classic.

  • The Mildred scene is friggin hilarious. Now every time I see somebody wasting their life watching brainless reality tv or other such crap, that "dee da dee da dee da doh doh" starts echoing in my head. Classic.

  • What's the music playing at the Mildred scene? The doo doo daa daa one :P

  • @madseet The song's called "Whistle Stop." It's on the soundtrack for Disney's Robin Hood (the cartoon version with the foxes).

  • no the book was way better. its a classic

  • I think in some sence ray bradbury knew that a time like this would cme about i mean if you look at today not many kids like to read many just watch movies or mindles TV shows i hope many of the people who watched this g read the actual book becuse there is so many more connections with tdays society and great job imzache it was a far better flash animation that i culd do lol

  • That was GREAT !

  • my class had 2 read this book, and i always fell a sleep so now i dn't know nothin about the book......... So i'm hopeing to look at this video so i can under stand the book. I HOPE IT HELPS Lol ...............

  • cute.

  • haha my english teacher showed this video to my class after we read the book lol

  • wait a minute..is this music from donnie darko?

  • Wow that was ten times better than expected. Even with only yourself working on animation you made every expression count. The transitions were great, the length of pauses and slight expression changes spoke as loudly as voice actors would and I actually prefer it silent. Lastly is the music just from random people or is it actually licensed? It went perfectly with the story.

  • @Gastrophetes Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. The music is primarily from the Donnie Darko soundtrack. The song during the Hound scene is from the opening credits of Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It's all licensed, but I'm able to keep it up because the video is for educational purposes, which is protected under fair use.

  • Wow that was pretty good.

  • whats the song / sound called in the beginning? is it from a game? thanks ;)

  • @Deutschland45 It's from the soundtrack to Donnie Darko.

  • @imzache thank you ;)

  • I started cracking up when whistle stops came up out of nowhere. XD good video, btw. Made me want to read the book.

  • This was really cool, waaaay better than the book. Great job!

    One question though, what's the title of the music playing from 14:00-16:05?

  • This was really cool, waaaay better than the book. Great job!

    One question though, what's the title of the music playing from 14:00-16:05?

  • @YumiJK42 If that's the Hound scene, it's the opening theme from Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Scored by Danny Elfman.

  • @YumiJK42 youre kidding, right? i mean sure its a great animation, but come on. youd have to be illiterate or just plain stupid to say it was better than the book.

  • @hckrwolf I'm neither of those, the book simply wasn't my taste. I found it extremely boring.

  • @YumiJK42 i pity you.

  • @hckrwolf Good to know.

  • @YumiJK42 Way better than the book? Holy fucking derp.

  • pretty cool, too bad Clairese died..

  • LOL, fantastic job! Loved the book too!

  • "after bush, and then they hate us" the setting must be in America then!

  • Note the Irony !

    This is mindless entertainment too !

    Read the book and u'll know a lot more !

  • my teacher is making us watch this for an asighnment thanks! for making it...

    now i have to write about it...

  • I rather enjoyed that...

  • Nice job! =)

  • bueno el corte lleno de suspenso y tal como sale escrito con esa intriga me gustaria ver una pelicula con efectos especiales de esta obra en estos años

  • You should get an artist to do some art for you. It could only help. Maybe, if you wanted to get some voice actors, it wouldn't hurt. A good narrator can lift up a narrative.

  • Yeah, that would be cool. But I made this a little over four years ago, so, what's done is done.

  • I like how Montags eyes went to blue, when he relized what he wanted

  • Haha! So awesome! lolz I had to read this book for a book report. This was definitely more amusing than the book or the movie. lolz

  • It would be pretty awesome

  • have you ever considered making a lord of the flies movie like this.

  • Actually, back when I was making these animated movies (2005 - 2007), I was considering making a Lord of the Flies adaptation. However, it just never ended up happening.

    Maybe some day, though.

  • my english teacher (though she is in NO position to teach 9th grade AP english) showed us this in her class. it was pretty funny.

  • i read the book in class it was okay, like it didnt rellie get like relli into it untill part 2, but yea its good, lov the vid. it was shown in class we laughed through itlol:)))

  • Meh, it's nothing compared to the book, but it's not like I could've animated anything better. =P

    (Most because you skipped quite a few lines. D=)

    Also, Clarisse had black eyes; not blue. ;)

  • You also added your own words, and edited the story to your liking. >_>

    2 / 5

    (You get one extra star for trying. =P)

  • That's adaptations for you -- it wasn't supposed to be loyal. There's no way a 17 minute high school student project is going to be exactly the same (lines and all) as the novel. And the eye colors (of all the characters) are a running (and I know, amateurish) symbolism throughout the entire movie.

    But yeah, thanks for all the backhanded compliments. At least you were civil.

  • Your welcome. ^_^

    Like I said, the animation and everything else is well-done. Did you make all the graphics yourself?

  • Yep.

  • That makes me want to shit on myself again. (In a good way.)

  • Haha you certainly have a way with words. Thanks though.

  • we watched this in class before we started reading it and our teacher stoped it so i had to watch it lol

  • NIce willy wonka music!!!!

  • i like this video it made me want to read the book the book is really good actually it took me a day to read it so yah its a good book

  • Mildred looks so scary with her red eyes..

  • what was the song durning the parlor walls scene? amzing job.

  • I forgot the exact title and artist. I think someone said what it was exactly somewhere in these comments. I got it from the Disney animated version of Robin Hood, if that helps.

  • Well if someone in the future asks its the robin hood disney intro.

  • Yeah, that I know. I just don't know who actually wrote/performed it.

  • "Whistle-Stop" written and sung by Roger Miller

  • That's it! It was on the tip of my tongue, haha.

  • XD

    and props for the Donnie Darko music.

  • haha. wow. i gotta give you mad props for this one. :)

    TOTALLY helps me to understand the book better. lol.

    (im not much of a reader. im easily distracted. ha!)

    thank you so much. great short film. :D

  • haha i instantly recognized the music from robin hood. strangely i was the ONLY one in my class who had heard it before.oh and i really liked your interpretation of the hound.

  • great

  • It is great how he explains the story in this short video . it is an EXCELENT, PERFECT VIDEO

  • Can I get the song titles? It's really trippy music.

  • The majority of the music is from Donnie Darko's score, by Michael Andrews. The song during the Hound chase is the opening credit music to Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, by Danny Elfman. Let me know if there's a particular song you'd like to know more about.

  • Not double cheeseburger hungry...

    More like Big Mac hungry.

    Dude....this is so epic. Great job! xD

  • I'm showing this to my English teacher.

  • Touching, exciting, funny...

    You're a genius, Zach!

  • Absolutely great short film!

  • happy birthday ray bradbury! this video would make a great present haha

  • Very nice I like but now I hope the next animations will be in Widescreen HD!

  • phenomenal mini book adaptation.

    Music was awesome!!!!

    great job!!!!

  • GREAT

  • i love the music! it added great with the story

  • Great video, man!!!

  • this is amazing, i loved it, really helped, the music is incredible. thanks man :)

  • Sweet! xD

    Im reading it for class.

    this was a great interpretation!

    much fun watching

  • Comment removed

  • All I can say is... great interpretation of the book. I wish the 1966 movie was as dark and characters as ignorant as in this animation..

  • The Bush fellow :D

  • Wow, that was really good. It was cool how you made it funny even though the book was quite serious :)

  • the music in that video was insanely awesome

  • GREAT VIDEO!!

  • great for my school's test .. Even if I 've read the book ^^

  • wasn't the book sort of against cutting down ideas into simpler bite sized portions? Like the part with the classics becoming 12 line dictionary entries>?

  • Most likely. When I made this as a school project I wasn't looking to cut the book's length down or make it simpler -- its length was just a consequence of my one-week production period and my amateur status as animator (I had hardly any time/hardly any talent). If anything, it was meant to get people to read the book.

    But nice observation.

  • what was the song at the end?

  • The music made this kinda creepy lol

  • what is the middle song

  • we watched this at school, and I couldn't help going home and watching it again. pretty funny :)

  • lol us too

    we also had to write down one thing you got wrong and one thing that you thought was funny

    good book though

    but a lot of the people were saying how the animation was bad and stuff

    i dont think they realize how much work animating is

    so overall, it's a really cool adaptation of a good book

  • Haha that's cool.

    But yeah, I made this when I was 15 with no formal training, so the animation is pretty bad. But I'll tell you one thing, I was probably the only person at that age who was making something like this.

  • the book shows just how ppl will change over the technological advancement, into ppl like u who dun appreciate written text and go for moving pictures instead, this is why u didnt understand the point of the book. look closely at the world now, compare it with fahrenheit451, u will see a similarity

  • look it's not the bible... its a good story. read it again.

  • show me one excerpt in 451 of Bradbury shoveling dung onto paper please, go open that stupid little book and find it! good luck.

  • The Babysitters Club? I loved those books. That part made me laugh though. Well done.

  • I totally loved that video. Very dorky. It was a nice summary of the book.

  • cool. donnie darko music - good choice

  • Hi, I like that movie really much you left some part of movie but its ok. This video gave me a lot of knowledge about FAHRENHEIT 451. I have a test next week I hope it will help.

    Thanks

  • You're kidding right--about being tested on Fahrenheit 451 & instead of knowing the book you hope a short video adaption will help you out?

    If that is true, YOU MISS THE WHOLE POINT of the frakking book! The book is about people like you--if you are serious, that is.

  • Read the book if your depending on technology to give you the answers then what the hell man it means the story is lost on you.

  • its a good video but there are some inacuracies. like you left out him burning down his house, and at the end, he jumped into the river...meet the people...walked a few days...THEN the city blew up.... but a good vid nonetheless. i give it 4 stars.

  • Not so much "inaccuracies", a better term is "cuts". Not everything can be put into a short film that was already way too long for the assignment I made it for. To make it flow well, yes, some things had to be changed. It's the "art" of adaptation. But glad you liked it regardless!

  • The swipe at George Bush already makes the video dated.

  • Yep. When I made this in 2005 it was only for a school project, before I even used YouTube. At the time I never thought I'd be able to share it with so many people for so long, I just thought it was going to be a simple school project that I'd forget about a few months later. Thanks though!

  • LOL with the bush attack nice! I actualy read the book and the story line is actualy heading where its supposed to go

  • omg my class (8th grade) just got finished with this book!!!! it was pretty easy to understand

    dont know why others had issues/troubles reading it

  • Haha to all of you doll questioners:

    It has nothing to do with the book, it's just an easter egg that I put in all of my movies. You can see it somewhere in all of my movies starting with this one onwards (all but Antigone, American Revolution, and Beowulf). It's just for grins.

    Hope that explanation satisfies you guys.

  • Uhm.....what's with the doll? that the doctor was holding. O_o?

  • Comment removed

  • that was awesome know i can understand the book more, were reading it in 8th grade reading right now
