[Kusanagisayuri]

Nice♪( ´▽｀)

[Kimberwheat]

my kids said if this were a tv show that they would watch it

[Bestbright]

Great!!

[One1Raptor]

Entertaining and clever. We want more of this, nick.

[StellaNightshade]

O.O Habadabadaaaaa... I think my heart just like... Exploded... He is an animator at Pixar AND he SINGS LIKE AN ANGEL?!?!?! I wanna meet him so that I can fangirl spaz about his voice! Officially my new favorite singer/animator. He deserves fame.

:D

[lgdsvcd]

the music at 1:00 sounds a bit the intro to 'he's a trap'

[HelberSoares72]

I'm definitely a fan. I loved the movie.

[Siristaromen]

Bold and Beautiful (;p)

[TheWarehouse100]

just found this channel and deff subscribing! loving ALL your vids!!! wow you will be very successful if you aren't already!

[longfootbuddy]

i liked your character emotion test better than this

[Zackypups]

The animation style reminds me a little of Jimmy Neutron, but the way the video was done reminds me more of a Disney film like Aladdin. No matter which way you slice it, though, you're still a very talented artist in so many different ways. Well done.

John Lacider (Pixar Animations)

That's what you're going to hear when you pitch this idea to one of the greats like him. You, sir, have a great talent for this business. Keep at it, and i hope you do well.

DJ P.D.

[UniqueGeekFreak]

Wow this reminded me somehow of that "Fish police" on cartoon network taken place in Moulin Rouge, oh you're goooood man :) Michael for the win!

In case you guys haven't watched "Fish Police" it's really cool, like a "Sin City" but without the explicity

[hippiepunkrocker]

´´ i married my cousin´´ ???? lol...nick...you´re the best...

[Nikkitta007]

"Now, I married my cousin and I live in a...." HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I almost died at that part! :)

[ikeike12345]

This video is shown many times everyday down here in the Sarasota Square Mall. I make sure I wait at the animation theater every time I go there, until this one plays. I love it sooo much. Thank you Nick Pitera for bringing this voice to millions.

[gothjohanna2]

Durp moon. Just saying. Lol

[nymphicus1977]

I have posted it on facebook

Really funny

[LambertFan27]

You can do anything. One more amazing skill, and you will become godlike.

Singing

Singing Falsetto

Singing like 300 different styles, all really well

Dancing

Animation

You're gorgeous

You can make the strangest outfits and activities seem normal (purple suit, bubble gun etc)

And you seem like such a sweet guy!

I declare Nick Pitera to be perfect. Any disagreements?

[EmmaFantastic]

l;dsglseutoiefvsdr. STOP BEING SO GOOD AT THINGS IT'S MAKING THE REST OF US LOOK BAD, BRO.

[ThePruductions]

"I married my cousin and I live in a van" LOL

[cutepurplekitten]

maybe they should make an animated film starring him that would be cool

[O2BM3]

WOW this is incredible..

can you make more :D

[GaladedridDamodred]

Damn it, Nick. Bloody polymath. You're giving me self-esteem issues.

[PurpleBearBird]

Am I seeing a Rhapsody in Blue refrence...

[puggytheelephant]

CAN YOU FLY?

[LambertFan27]

@puggytheelephant

I bet he can

[Crem2057]

got goosebumps at the end. hah very good animation!

[laniana9425]

I can't think of a word that describes this and you in general. Awesome just doesn't cut it. Somebody already called you Batman and perfect, so i'm just going to agree because my words fail me. <3

[WHTMBassist]

Country; "I married my cousin and I live in..."

[JDfanforever]

XD The thing I love most about this is that at 0:56, that was most likely Nick singing a like a girl

[NotACrapWasGiven]

Ahgod, Nick. Really? Are you just a master of all things?

[chad2CCC]

LOVE IT

[Watcher0927]

What's that song?? 00:58

[gothjohanna2]

durp moon. Just sayin

[Cassattackred12]

[Misshumanoidtyphoon]

[musiksubscriptions]

[Kuropon123]

You're the mothereffing batman. Jesus Christ, even epic can't describe you. You're way beyond epic and awesome. You're PERFECT.

[sunshinesmileify]

OMG



[vrono123x]

Pixar quality, Dreamworks style

[11sign]

I hope to see a disney pixar flim this coming year by Nick Pitera :)

[adbaddley]

GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I want to see more!!!!! This is just as good (or better than Night and Day, Partly Cloudy, For The Birds, etc.) You are too talented for You Tube. It should be renamed Nick Tube.

[xXMaDcAsTXx]

what's the machine he pushes? is that to start music or is he only mouthing the words

Either way! Nick you are amazing. I'm in love with your voice. You are so talented and such an inspiration. Bless your heart.

[Kenyora22]

@xXMaDcAsTXx just to start the music :]

[xXMaDcAsTXx]

@Kenyora22 thanks ^_^*

[ChiHarada]

[sandiejolaine]

[2012boracho]

[steveogurule]

You are my favirote person :)

[amzans]

You are truly one of the most talented people I have ever seen. I bet you will be a big future source of inspiration and motivation to other animators 

[MotusDigital]

It's the little things like the clouds, trash cans, and siding that push this over the top. The amount of detail you put into this is absolutely amazing! You're incredibly talented!

[lilsparrowKisa]

This is super adorable!! Nick your amaaazing! :D

[xXCupcakeFeverXx]

That was freakin amazing. Marry me???

[BluSpektrum]

@Ladencrel

He does work at Pixar ;)

[Jhcel2324]

Wow, I love you even more. :)

Great job!

[MegaHeavenlySword]

[AUDIOCANDYtv]

you are so talented.

[xeldarsangelx]

[NinjaMoogle218]

"Naaaaaaaah Ah murrid mah kuzin an' Ah --"

Priceless.

[TheDailyCrumb2]

its your story!

[yoshicatx]

MY GOD! What can't you do Nick??? Cooking?? :p

[LadyFang4]

@yoshicatx dont say that. he'll be on food network, next :P

[Zackypups]

@LadyFang4 nah... probably doing voices for some Disney film is more like it lol

[bballgirlj955]

@Ladencrel good thing he works at the Pixar Animation Studios now! =D

[nikky847]

wow i have to say that this is way better than some of the pixar shorts that i've seen he's really good at this

[jazmyne979]

Fantastic! I, too, am an animator. Thanks so much for the inspiration!

[Urthrun]

(I'm an animator) I saw his "duets" with himself, and everyone is going crazy over them. I found out he was an animator at pixar and I lost it. I don't care if he can sing like a d*mn angel. I want to see his archs and timings. I have to say, certainly put a fire under my *ss to finish my demo reel.

[LeoDeGrand]

This is amazing :D I'm so glad the character has a voice. Normally animation shorts don't have voices and it bugs me :/

[zzxyv]

Nick, i do hope that u graduated with distinction/1st class honors. this is fantastic!! all the best 

[amanda8708]

Man of so many talents and hilarious to boot...Nick you are simply AWESOME!! Can't wait to see how far your gifts and drive takes you :)

[pyrobryant2]

I guarantee this was about him getting turned down for glee,like if you agree

[gladiatorbunnies]

@pyrobryant2 This was made way before he even auditioned for Glee.

[chipmunksfan147]

my fav part is from 1:80 to the end. awesome job! 

[chipmunksfan147]

@chipmunksfan147 srry 1:08 too the end

[sarah55544422]

OMG!! ur voice is amazing!! its one of the best ive ever heard when u become big with ur name up in lights plz remember the name sarah eaton!!!! :D xx

[CharmedGirly91]

Is this an actual song at the end or is that another genius idea from Nick Pitera?

[Smyyusuf]

@CharmedGirly91 genius idea from nick pitera

[Seznar]

hehe realy funny n1

[WetnWildChick]

WOW, amazing!!! you are seriously going to make it big.

[DannyLaam]

AWESOME! :D

[seansocheap]

I don't know about you but whenever I see this, the scene of Kurt performing "Rose's Turn" immediately pops in my head! Of course the circumstances are different, but the lyrics just fit this situation, too.

[Fry093]

Woooow that is fantastic...like a real trailer for a new disney/pixar movie!

but...WITH YOUR VOICEEEEE!!! *O*

[BAMCeramicTile]

GOD DAMN.

CAN YOU DO EVERYTHING?

[bohgirl11]

@Ladencrel Did you know that Nick Pitera actually works at Pixar?

[TheMissLovley]

Freakkin awesome! :D

[SuperNerdMDizzle]

Omigoodness, I remember watching this video in animation class last week! My teacher showed it and I was looking at th credits and I was like, "Wait....is the same guy I'm thinking of from YouTube?" AND IT WAS! You are amazingly talented.

[Ch0c0lat3Fact0ry2009]

Nice!!! This is AMAZING!

[missmaestro1]

@Ladencrel it's great right and he did this in college, it's amazing that he works for pixar now :D

[tenyedi]

You should make a "behind a scenes" version :)

[SchwagerKronos]

I really loved it. Your voice enchants your animations =)

[HypeElite]

A very inspirational animation! :)

[angiepantz5]

dude ur so lucky u work with disney as an animator. that's exactly what i want to do when i get older. Ive completely surrounded myself in disney i want to work with them so bad. your amazing at what u do keep at it for all us dreamers who r still working their way up.

[eloijaruh]

god man you are talented ... good job :)

[ShadowZinger]

that's so clever of you nick. From singing, you even entered the world of animation. And it will be good to know if you learn taht by yourself, wow, how muct effort that could be.. mmmnn.. :) good luck!

[munch04]

Wow amazing!! You're making me miss those classes! Lol

[carolebnicolas]

[xalisonsx]

This is AMAZING!

[NickiForDraco]

:) Wow, this was amazing Nick. You're so talented. :D

[Amber2242]

[pixID4]

@Ladencrel he's working at pixar right now.

[ShadowZinger]

@pixID4 wow really? was he discovered or applied for the job.. nice to know that!

[pixID4]

@ShadowZinger i'd imagine he was offered a job at ringling's student showcase at the end of every year.

[asianlipsynch]

nooow, i married my cousin and i live in a-

[flipjamming]

man you could prob make a good storyline movie with that since so many musiciens try and try to make it big.

[xkaleidosaurusx]

This just makes me really happy :)

[ericblue85303]

Nick you are simply amazing. I love it!!!

[Haratia]

Wonderful! I expect to see more singing and animation from you! :) By the way, I'm looking for a good art college (affordable would be welcome, as well) would you recomend this one? Any other recomendations?

[akeenobumatsu]

what music this he used near the end!! The jazzy one where he starts by Broken and beaten.....

[Gillies424]

What programme did you make this annimatiion with?

[gladiatorbunnies]

I've just begun learning how to use Autodesk Maya in school. I hope to become a 3D modeler and animator. This video inspires me a lot. Thank you.

[TheLionside]

@Ladencrel it might be why he *WORKS* at PIXAR.

[scuz888]

this is good, but i'd love to see what you could do with stepping away from the garageband loops lol

[XBasshunterfangirlX]

I totally agree with Ladencrel. I had no idea nick was in animation...but i showed my bf a video of his and he saw on the ellen show that he was an annimator and i was in awe when i saw this. I hope that when i go into my 3d animation class ican get to be that good =D Great job Nick!!! =D

[Clubsoda28]

Love Love LOVE the jazz music you used =D

Great job.

I agree, this is very much PIXAR quality. 

[SlimShaney08]

i'm from germany and my english is not that good...

I understand some parts of the song in the end , but not everything. unfortunately!!!

so, can anyone tell me the lyrics ?

Greetings from germandy :)

[TheLionside]

@Jekadi1 with each door you slam you may think you've won but i've just begun

you think you beat me but you know i,

i will not crumble i won't cry i guess i'll try it on my own

[Jekadi1]

@TheLionside

Thank you very much !!

But , I think , I didn't express myself good enough... I ment the whole song, starting at "broken"... Do you understand , what I mean ?

It would be very nice, if you could tell me this lyrics , too ! :)

Thank you in anticipation !

[TheLionside]

@Jekadi1 sorry, i didn't copy and paste the whole thing i wrote down.

first song: OOH hit me baby, and hey..

second: well i married my cousin and i live in a ....

third: Mercy...

broken and beaten despite all i try

with each door you slam you may think you've won

but i've just begun

you think you beat me but you know i,

i will not crumble i won't cry i guess i'll try it on my own

[Jekadi1]

@TheLionside

Thank you very, very much !!

[ASSHOLELA]

nick pitera can do three kinds of falsetto. One is the layman's everyone can do falsetto at 0:26 , then theres his eerie high one at 0:57, then theres that girly tone at 1:50. Its amazing how he transitions from the first to the third tho.

[magdalene17xD]

great! great! great! :D

[oOoNELEoOo]

[1970sister]

[ghaffar23]

You're completely correct about the music industry...you made the right choice with doing animation at Pixar out of all places! You'll get in the door with all of that talent that you have anyway. Your persistence will prevail. Godspeed, Nick!

[furubaprincessyuki18]
