What says Animation vs. Minecraft 30?
Omg AvM started so long ago
Animation vs Minecraft is not over, it was just a season finale And Animator vs Animation is currently worked at I believe, since Alan did say it comes back after AvM 30

Pixar: Turns Alan down Alan: *So anyway, I started making a masterpiece.*
Lemme tell you about one of my experiences with this dude: One day, I was in grade 6 and had a test in French class. I was so caught up in other work that I forgot to study and was so worried I'd fail. As I sat down in class, my teacher told us the test was postponed, because he found this really cool web series he wanted to show us. That web series was Animator VS. Animation. We got to watch Animator VS Animation I - IV as well as Animation VS. Minecraft. My friends and I laughed all the way and were impressed at his talent and effort. TL;DR Alan, Thank you for saving me from my French test.
Yes
Yes
This is the most wholesome story I’ve read all day
That save
That teacher is more merciful than any I’ve ever had.
Thanks for sharing this incredible story!

It has been 7 years now, the Animation vs Minecraft series has 3 seasons and an upcoming 4th, there is now an Animator vs Animation 5 along with an upcoming 6th episode, the characters have fought against arcade games, math, pokemon, and other franchises. We have come so far and should never give up.
Pixar is missing out, if they saw your work, the would regret not hiring you
For reals yo!!!!!!! His Burger short was great!!!!!!!
yeah thats true, alan has so much potential in him
But think about it, if he quit AvA to focus on his job at Pixar, he wouldn't be the famous stickman animator that we all know.
It was a canon event
That $75 contract sure was dangerous. Scammers are everywhere huh.

Dude, I didn't realize that you've been that OG animator all along! I remember watching your stuff all over the internet, but Newgrounds was the hub back then, I'm 35. As a scrub kid back in the day, we didn't know who was doing what. It was an explosion of content, the beginning of creators making use of the internet. Happy to hear you got things sorted out for yourself. Thankful for Steve and the others who came in at critical times to guide you. I'm glad I've come full circle now on your story, sorry it took me till 2022 to catch up. Now you're at 19m subs here on YT! Incredible dude!

omg you're stupid it;s Everyone: not Nobody: It's obvious nobody will say nothing
Its amazing how a person named steve saved his entire career, and now Alan has a entire series on a game called Minecraft who's main character is also named Steve. Very Intreseting
Aren't you forgetting that the other main character of that game is Alex?
@@spydersoup8447 Mostly Steve though
@@Macaroni-Man That's because Steve was the first and only one for a while, and then Alex came in as a way for the game to appeal to female players as well. It's kinda similar to how in Persona 3, we only had one protagonist for a while, and that's the male protagonist who's most promptly featured, but then Persona 3 Portable introduced a female protagonist to play as and had gained a massive fanbase and would eventually get promptly featured too.
@@spydersoup8447 ACTUALLY.... Alex was created because Mojang has had enough of Steve being everywhere
minecraft never endorsed the name "steve" originally. another game/animation (i think) made a character that looked like that character in minecraft, and his name was actually steve, so the mc community flocked to "steve" being his name instead of "mr. minecraft" or whatever else.

Pure Skill Thank you Steve!
WAIT! HIS NAME WAS STEVE! STEVE JOBS SAVED ALAN BECKER CONFIRMED!
Yes
Knowing that Alan was only 12- 13 when he made the first ava gives me inspiration for my own stick figure animations. Admittedly, they are mostly about stick figures that fought each other randomly.
And here we are today, with a sub count of nearly 2mil, yea right, you have 24mil, this is so amazing!! I remember watching the whole AvA series as a kid, now im rewatching it today.
Can't remember how many frauds I reported and fought against that has been using "Animator vs. Animation" name to get views and subs on KZhead for years. That is even before I have seen this video and the stuff that happened to you. Now I am proud that I have fought against those frauds, that were leeching your hard work. Keep up the great work man.
Even though he probably won't see/respond to this, he will be secretly saying thank you to people like you.
AIBot Thank you :) I can imagine days, weeks even months of thought and work put into these, and can't stand the fact that someone steals the name for thousands of free clicks and subs, and do an extremely lousy job after that dishonoring the original on top of everything. (Most of the frauds openly admitted that they worked 1-2 days tops, for their entire video) On the other hand I have nothing against people getting inspired by this, not stealing it's name, and worked really hard on their own animations. (Marker vs Maker for example, clearly inspired by this, but made his own series and worked really hard as wel)
bruh, keep it up.
Good job bro!
he is backing in NEXT 10 YEARS !!!!!!!!!
“And here we are today, 1.8 million.” Looking at this in 2021 is great, congrats on 15mil Edit: wow i got a popular comment NO WAY! “this was the only thing on wikipedia about me” I bet theres like at least five pages now-
Yes👐🏻🙌🏻👏🏻
now its 15.7mil

And now its 15.9 mil
Thank you for your hard work! And because of that, when I'm bored I can just rewatch the whole series again and again without even getting bored at it 😄😉

hearing that you went to animation school with the goal to work at Pixar and ended up with this amazing job hits so close to home because I'm going to animation school with the goal to work at Pixar right now and if my number one animation idol can become so famous and create a business with this goal, then I feel way more confident about my chances of getting my dream job, being able to write a TV show.
I'm going to cry, this was the best story I've ever heard from Alan. I thought it all started with "My paper crane flew away" but I guess it all started with The Chosen One before KZhead was popular. Happy 10th birthday TCO!

No he wouldn't because he was a minor. Contracts can only be legally binding when signed by adults with the mental acuity to understand what they're doing. If you're a minor, mentally disabled or intoxicated when signing a contract, it is null and void.
