  • Good job! Shouldn't be easy to draw all those stuffs. Fool forever!

  • о, бедняжка Фитци-Фитц.. Эка жизнь тебя потрепала... точнее Робин Хобб

  • this is really amazing work. you did so much . i appreciate this walk through a lot :) eventhough I have read the book years ago.

  • Lovely. I've just finished the final one of the six books ..... although I just about managed to keep my tears in during the book, your cartoon made them flow at last!:( I too only searched for Farseer on a complete whim, as I feel bereft that I've finished the books and don't want to leave their world behind.

  • @langtonhighway me too! ::D

  • I am utterly charmed by this video. I only searched for Farseer on a whim, and I'm so very glad I did. Awesome movie for some awesome books. <3

  • I really like your video, but I think you should have included the part at the end of Golden Fool where Fitz gets stabbed (again, really Fitz?) and you should have included the part in Liveship Traders where the Fool carves paragon into fitzs shape because he told her to make him into something she could love.

  • This is fantastic ... it makes me cry every time I watch it ... Thanks to you and to Robin Hobb too, for doing all those incredibles books.

  • My floor is a sea of tears.

  • So sweet my god lol, just ended the second trilogy-you made me cry! I love Fitz and Fool relationship.

  • the tawny man made me hate burrich and i feel like an asshole for doing so but i still do

  • @Goodchance001 why? i loved burrich.

  • @Draquia I'm a regular on her online newsgroup where she herself hosts the conversation (you can find the link on her web page if you want to drop by). I remember someone posting the link for your video at some point. Afraid the actual thread is lost in history now, though. :)

  • Your Video made me feel how the books made me feel. Great music choice aswell, very much captured the mood.

  • This never fails to make me want to cry, smile and hug someone all at the same time. I like how the simple drawing style lets the viewer focus more on the amazing story you're telling. I love Robin Hobb's novels, and I love this too <3

  • THIS IS AMAZING

  • Love this video. :)

    Just wanted to let you know that Robin Hobb herself watched it and liked it. Not sure if she ever commented. :)

  • @Hatiana How do you know? 

  • :D That was amazing! Aww I love The Fool, or whatever he calls himself now. <3

  • That's amazing!!

  • Do you know there's one more book about Fitz and the Fool? Written by one of the fans BUT so very close to style of the original! AND it is published!!! it has brought peace to my soul that was just destroyed after that bitter ending. So touching just as this wonderful amazing vid... Very gentle and nothing slashy all about love

  • @TheBurtukal What book is this? O.o I've read all the Rain Wilds series and I need more Hobb-universe! If you know what it's called or anything can you messag me? Thanks. :)

  • @qldharkness Assassin's trilogy and Fool's trilogy! amazing story.

  • @XXMarghyXX I know those, I've read them already. I just thought because of what TheBurtukal said that there was another book outside of what Robin Hobb herself had written, a book written by a fan.

  • We need more fan vids about Robin Hobb's books. This beautiful video made me relive my love for Fitz, Nighteyes and the Fool. Thankyou!!!<3

  • too bad

  • BRILLIANT!

    

  • I nearly cried, Thank you so much for making this video! I think we all wish it would have ended differently for the Fool and Fitzy. <3 Make more Farseer movies !

  • J'ai réellement adoré retrouver tous ces moments que les livres nous font vivre. The most impressive books I've ever read, with unforgettable characters and unforgettable moments !!! Really good vid, thank you !

  • Thank you! Fitz and the fool are so sweet, and this song is perferct for them...

  • MERCI

  • I thought that The Fool loved him the same way Fitz did at first but then when he asked him if Fitz wanted to sleep with Nighteyes I understood :) that was amazing!

  • ive read the whole series twice and i LOVE it all =) awsome animation, the scene progression matches the music perfectly! I think if you had some more advanced software you'd do super well in graphic designs! sweet job again!

  • I love the books and this video is amazing, it really shows the friendship of Fitz and the Fool. You should do more like this on the books!

  • I love it, really! Super that you made this vid. I liked the story so much, but cried when the fool left fitz. It was sooo sad! Can't he make fitz immortal ?:P

  • you make me crying.

  • I love the way you drew Fitz! You know, for such a simplistic style of drawing, you've really captured the way I invisage him. AWESOME!!! I think I've watched this about six times in a row now. It's really made my day. I've spent the past week re-reading Robin Hobb's books, and I'm half-way through Ship of Magic - but I'm dreading getting to the last book of The Tawny Man trilogy because I know I'll be heart-broken (again)! But I think this will help me cope. Thanks so much for posting this! :-)

  • i hate robin hobb. i hate the fool. each time i finish one of the three trilogies of that story, i just.. feel so useless. It's the sadest story i ever read, and i can't stop reading it over and over again, not until i understand what it's actually about. It's just so much, putting dragons into the world again, intertwined with so many miseries and love. I hate it. it's the best thing i've ever read, and i hate it becuase of that

  • ...and I set no limits on that love

  • This is absolutely beautiful. I'm afraid you made me bawl my eyes out.

    Thank you so much for sharing this with us, so much hard work must have gone into this.

  • When I first saw this video I was half way through the last book of the farseer trilogy, since then I keep watching this vid up to where I am but no further. (spoilers)

  • Beautiful piece of art. I really felt again the emotion I used to feel with this couple.

  • Comment removed

  • very good! you all need to read the tawny man trilogy now to sew up some lose ends. this series of books including tawny has been soo good to read, I cant believe sometimes what the author put him through. Are there any other stories similar but different to fitz and his adventures. i really love the old blood wolf bond part of the story. amazing.

  • truly amazing

  • I'm thinking of making a similar type of cartoon on the Farseer books. The problem is I don't have a background song. Can someone recommend me a song similar to Snow Patrol's Run, that I can use?

  • This was....amazing! I love the Fool and I hope Fitz uses the Skill to prolong his life so they can be together after Molly dies. You forgot one great part though...when the Fool is leaving with Girl-on-a-Dragon, he kisses Fitz after hugging him!!! :)

  • @FaroresChosenOne Yes, that would be the only logical ending to those books.

    I left that scene out for a reason - some people would be disturbed by it. What I did forget was the part where Nighteyes died. I think that Fitz paid too little attention to his death in the books and I feel bad for forgetting it too =(

  • @FaroresChosenOne Why exactly would you want that? There has to be a sad ending for some "good" characters otherwise the story becomes too "easy" if you see what I mean. Sometimes life sucks...

  • This is amazing... <3

    I adore those books. I finished reading them a while back, I miss the Fool... I want to show this to my sister, but the hasn't read the Tawny man trilogy yet... I shall tell her to hurry up!

  • @GThe0dd0ne0ut Thank you for telling me this. And tell your friend that I'm flattered :)

  • Superbe vidéo, très émouvante. (Le fou est un personnage tellement mystérieux *-*)

  • you are literally the best person that has ever lived. I LOVE YOU!! no really, this is so good. great. excellent. ARGH.

  • Wait.....what is their relationship?? I have read the first two books....I didn't know they were so close?? (please help?)

  • @vinyleklipse They're just (very close) friends. Well, actually the situation is a little bit more complicated than that. But you should read the rest of the books and find out yourself =)

  • @vinyleklipse you got to read The Tawny Man series as well. Then you would understand their relationship. Its complicated. ;)

  • 2:06 I think the Jeppas are a bit bigger than that...

    Great video though

  • They are?

    I think it was said somewhere that they looked like goats with paws instead of hooves. But I might have imagined it of course =)

    Thanks.

  • @Remilando No that was right, but I always imagined them as kind of like llamas I guess. Still, considering all they carried they would have to be fairly large.

  • This is amazing. I really wish that Robin Hobb would write more books about the Fool. What happens to him after he walks into a future where he's blind, never to return again? Wouldn't it be amazing if he came back to Fitz when Fitz was an old man, and he was still as young as he had been?

  • @Freesibs Actually, what would be more interesting is if (for some reason) Fitz used the skill to prolong his life, Kettle/Kestrel did. Then he would outlive Molly, and the Fool could come back, since he always seems to around the major points in his life. They could even have Dutiful feature in it, seeing as if Fitz could do it so could Dutiful. And Nettle.

  • @GYRADOS549 that comment gives me an unreasonable amount of hope for more books happening *v*

  • Snifff......... :,(

  • Ülikövvv!!!!!!!! Kohe 5 tähte,

    pidi ikka üksjagu aega võtma sellise klipi tegemine, aga tasus ära ilmselgelt:)

  • Aitäh =)

    Oojaa, see võttis üle poole aasta aega. Ise ka imestan, et kannatust ei kaotanud ;)

  • this was, simple put, awesome...the drawings and what they represented, the way it was put together, the backround track... a motion picture could not stand up to this.

    Remilando, you have my thanks for maing such an beautiful video

  • Just read the Farseer books and fell in love w/ the fool and fitz. Love the video, great job.

  • Great work patient one! Very touching.

  • pretty cool man

  • wow.... that brought tears to my eyes.... love fitz and the fool.... what a great story!

  • This is amazing I love this series and love this video

  • This is truly AMAZING!!!! WOW! WEll Done!

  • The fool's and Fitz's story is great, its beautiful how you have captured the love between them. Thanks for this video. I hope hobb will re-uinte them somehow in the dragon keeper :)

  • Very beautiful!!!!

  • I love it ! And how brave of you to draw all ! O.O

    Anyway, it's reaaly moving ! and the song is so beautiful ! really good work ! fav ♥

  • This is so beautifull... It shows the love between the Fool and Fitz, so touching...

    This must have been alot of work, but it was worth it :)

    I hope so much there will be another story with the Fool and Fitz!

  • I am so impressed at the effort you went to just to make this, and I was so moved by it. More than anything I wanted a better ending for Fitz and the Fool than that. That book breaks my heart every time.

  • This moves me beyond words....they are part of me....i shall watch this again and again....thank you!

  • This video is amazing! I like how you chose all the best scenes and put them all together. :)

    I finished Fool's Fate on sunday and I miss Fitz and the Fool already

  • This is absolutely brilliant- can't believe the effort you put in. Love these books, and you really conveyed them so well! :)

  • I just started reading Fool's fate for the xx'st time, and somehow after watching this I don't want to do it anymore. To face the choice and life Fitz choosed. You made me cry.

    This animation is amazing, I hope you choose to make more of these.. Amazing.

  • Okay, I know I've already said this, but I watched it again. And I cried again. I'm crying right now.

    This is too wonderful.

    Thank you.

    I have not words to thank you.

    Thank you so much.

  • Very nice :) Very fitting music aswell

  • I would like to thank everyone who has given me such a positive feedback on this video. I made it out of desperation that there were no more books about Fitz and the Fool, and I didn't want to say goodbye to these characters yet. I wasn't really sure what to expect when I uploaded it on YouTube... But every single comment here has actually warmed my heart!

  • You did such a brilliant job. No idea how you made it so great with such simple animations, but you did. Totally made me cry.

    I am SO GLAD you made this vid. 5 stars.

  • Thank you, I really enjoyed the video. I only heard of the books 2 months ago and finished all 9 recently. You are very talented.

  • YES! YES! DEAR MOTHERFUCKING JESUS YES! This video actually made me cry. You are spectacular. More! MORE! Do one that included his kids (Dutiful and Nettle) Do one for Althea and Brashen GO! YOU ARE GOD! GOD!
  • すげー。すげー。もっと見たいなー。

    awesome! wish more pieces!

  • Oh my god, I'll be weeping into my pillow for a long time coming. That's amazing. I'm reading those books again.

  • Okay, this is AMAZING. You are AMAZING. Thankyou so much.

    AMAZING.

    SERIOUSLY.

  • ....you made me cry. I survived Fool's Fate almost dry-eyed and you made me cry. Dammit.

  • Beautiful animation! (and the song is a perfect fit!) Wonderful job.  :)

  • I adore The Fool.... which means, by proxy, I half-hate Fitz/Tom whatever.

    I wanted to stab him, repeatedly, in the eye and other areas at around 4:00 >:| you can't be mean to Beloved ;_;

  • that was great and I think the song fits them perfectly, thanks for posting this!

  • really nice, good job, and thank you, it actually does justice to the books...!

  • Lovely! Well done! :)

  • I love these books dearly. You have represented them well.

  • Merci pour cette merveilleuse vidéo, je suis en larme. Le Fitz et le Fou... <3

  • as soon as i finished reading the 6 books, i nearly cried because i new that was the last of my favorite series to date... This video reminded me of how good the books were while i was reading them, and not the fact that they were finished. So i continue to read them for my second time. I begun again as soon as i finished, and I've started to love the characters more and more as i read it a second time. Thank you so much for putting this video up, it really made me feel better overall :)

  • knew*...

    I'm currently reading Golden Fool

  • :((

    the fool was so beautiful a character . . .

    and he loves fitz so much . . .

    thank you for the video

    i especially like the part from Assassin's quest where fitz fell in the snow by jhampe and the fool came to hold him while both of them were being swallowed by the snow. you made it look so warm with the fool holding fitz . . . you definitely captures the fool's love for fitz in this video. once again . . .

    :((

  • Thank you. Your comment touched my heart. I'm especially glad that you pointed out the scene you liked best. Thank you for understanding.

  • Excellent job!

  • i liked it!

  • Loved the books, and this video does them justice. Brilliant choice of song too.

  • I would love to have this video on my phone, even the music correct, this aint fair i can't do this. Captures the books so fatefully

  • Words aren't enough to describe. I cried when I read the books and now you've brought all those emotions back. I love the fool and you've truly done him justice with this. I thank you so much for letting me relive it again with such poignancy. Thankyou xox

  • Oh... my... god...

    That nearly brought me to tears. Very nearly. I didn't cry throughout the books at all, but this... Was just like reliving it all anew, condensed and vivified.

    There are no words to thank you enough for making it. I've no idea how much time went into this, but every single minute was worth it, rest assured.

  • Thats incredible, can't really express how amazing i thought it was

    Thank you

  • Can you please send this video to me?

  • Check your messages =)

  • Amazing Amazing Amazing!

    Though it has brought back all the pain I felt when finishing the books!

  • Comment removed

  • Great video. I love your drawings!

  • "I have never been wise".

    I am in love with your cartoon. Absolutely in love with it. You have amazingly captured the very best love story of all time and I thank you!

  • And I thank you for your lovely comment...

  • I am shocked, HOW good you have captured the story. Its just great. Its the simplicity of the drawings.

    I have watched all "Fitz & Fool" vids I have found for the last 3 hours now, but yours is best.

    Thank you.

  • Thank you! I truly appreciate your comment.

  • I know... that must have been one of the saddest parts in the books. Even sadder than the Fool's death.

  • thank you

    all my mwmmories of the books came back

    and i still think that the fool is maybe a woman

  • I'm glad you like it =)

    And I believe he's neither man nor woman, but something that cannot be explained.

  • This is a great animation! It must have taken ages to make. I'm also a fan of Robin Hobb's books, and I think you portrayed them very well, the song is great and fits the scenes you've chosen like a glove. I'm very happy I found this ^^ Thank you for sharing it with us.

  • wonderful, great job, perfect, added to my favourites.

  • What a pleasant find! Great job, Remilando! I feel like your choice of scenes and music fit perfectly... And you did a great job of simplicity of it all. Lovely drawings too. Thank you for this! Deserves more views than it has! :)

  • Your comment makes me especially happy, because I found it rather hard to make a selection of scenes in order to retell three thick books in five minutes... thank you so much!

  • You should do storyboarding...this is exceptional. You were able to catch the emotion from the books and convey it very well. The song choice was perfect...what an amazing find. I hope you make more fitz videos in the future.

  • I had to stop because I'm not done with The Fool's Fate. But this has to be The best vid about the Fitzy Fitz I have ever seen. Great job. ^_^

  • I just love it! It's AWESOME! Thank you for sharing this video, it really touched me.

  • Well I just messaged Robin Hobb on her myspace just to tell her about this and send her a link . I hope she answers you

  • Omg, that means a lot to me! Thank you! Let's just hope that she doesn't think I've ruined her books or something ;)

  • Absolutely AMAZING! You perfectly captured the books. You should be extremely proud of this accomplishment.

  • Thanks =)

  • Bravo! It's amazing, wonderful, fantastic.. (Thanks for sharing this vid with all of us Hobb fans)

  • Thank you, and you're welcome =)

  • this is amazing! ;_; you are amazing.

  • I'm glad you like it! You are amazing too, you know.

  • Oh wow. This is amazing. Really well done (: I loved those books- Have you read the Liveship traders?

    But anyway, that was great! Must've taken you ages? I love that song too, one of my favourites, and it goes really well. I just wish I was good at art or something so I could show my appreciation of these books. :D

  • Thank you so much! No, I haven't read the Liveship Traders =( I guess I'm not ready to think of the Fool as a woman yet. Maybe someday...

    Yeah, it took me almost half a year to make it. I thought the song might suit, there were so many good phrases in it which collocated with the books ;) Aww, but I really do believe that everyone is artistic in their own way!

  • Oh I'd definately reccomend reading them! They fit in the middle of the two other trilogies, and there are some amazing characters in there. (Fitz and the fool are still the best though!). The way she writes it, you are reading a whole load of different stories about different people, and then at the end they all tie up beautifully and leave you going 0_o. You learn alot about the dragons and wizardwood, and what the fool got up to in Bingtown.

    Go for it, you won't regret it! :3

  • I have heard a lot of good things about the Liveship trilogy. Thanks for recommending, I will certainly read them one day. In fact I'm quite curious about those books, especially because of the Fool, because he clearly is the most remarkable character in Robin Hobb's fiction. What do you think, is "he" a man or a woman?

  • I think he's a man, since in the Liveship trilogy Amber is only a disguise he uses when it suits him, just like he tells Fitz. But yes, the Fool is by far the most remarkable and amazing character, although i love Fitz as well.

    Whats great about the way Robin Hobb writes about Amber is that there are all these little hints and clues you get to her being the fool. They just make you smile :D And you learn how much s/he really loves Fitz and misses him.

  • As far as the Tawny Man and Farseer trilogies are concerned, I believe he's a man too. The strongest argument is that before Fitz brought him back to life, he undressed him to clean his body. And he didn't make any comment on what he saw. Hence, the Fool must have been a man, just like Fitz believed, or he would have said something about it ;)

    I'm going to the library tomorrow. To fetch "The ship of magic" =)

  • I think he is a man, but in appearance is more androgynous. I read the Liveship trilogy just to read about Amber after I found out Beloved posed as her in Golden Fool. Amber was one of the major characters, but on the periphery for most of the books.

  • You are, of course, most welcome and I'm only too glad to hear that I have made your day better! Also, thank you for the lovely comment =)

    It's nice to meet you too!

  • äge!!! tubli tubli tubli :D

  • =D Ma alguses ei julgenud sulle näidata, mõtlesin, et liiga jama.

  • This is awesome!

    Your'e blessed with talent

  • Thank you =) I'm glad you like it.
