HAPPY BIRTHDAY WARRIOR CATS!!!!🎉🎉🎉
We are a little late to the party, but after 6 months of hard work, it’s finally done!
I’m so proud to present my very first completed MAP featuring the skills of these incredibly hardworking animators.
I know it probably has been a lot of late nights for us all when working with a deadline, but the result is so much worth it!!!
I can’t thank everyone enough for your patience with this map and all the support we have gotten throughout the months. And also an extra thank you to all our backups (you’re all lifesavers!!!), and all the people who were willing to help, but sadly had to drop out.
It is really such a magical feeling seeing a script you wrote months ago come to life through art and animation. I'm so grateful for all the amazing map parts, thank you so much!
This MAP is dedicated to the Warrior Cats 20 year anniversary, and follows through arc one, two, three, four, six and seven, so yeah, definitely a lot of spoilers there! A big thank you to the Erin’s who wrote these books, and keeps us inspired to this day.

Man. I was in middle school - not even twelve years old - when I started reading Warriors. I can't believe the series has been around for twenty years. I can't believe there are kids who are just discovering it. I can't believe I left the fandom and it's still such a huge part of my formative years. What a ride it's been. Thank you all for coming with me.
Same here
My brother showed me the book it was the second book I ever fully read and it is the best book series I have ever read I'm on the vision of shadows the first book and god it's amazing
Im one of those kids but im on the second series of books (starlight)
I'm a kid that just discovered it!! Ready to start a new generation :)
@@cybervinkss Have fun on your first read!
20 years of kits, apprentices, queens, elders, leaders, of villains and heroes, of prophecies and omens, of adventures through the forest, adventures through the lake territories, of pain and loss and despair, of hope and life and love, 20 years of warriors....And all because a little kittypet with a pelt of fire answered the call of the wild
Just.. beautiful.
stolen comment
this was stolen from a comment made by a person 3 months ago called ribotto studios under starclan's chosen
Or you can say because the mountain cats decided to leave their home.

1:12 can we take a moment to just appreciate Cinderpaw? LOOK AT HOW ADORABLE SHE IS!

THESE BOOKS HAVE RAISED A GENERATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE and I am never not impressed by how they have managed to generate such a massive fanbase and community. This MAP gave me literal tingles. It reminded me of reading the books from elementary to middle school. It really took me back even though I do not read the books anymore. The art is gorgeous, I love all the little details the animators included. Fantastic work!
What a legend. I left the Warriors fandom but I’m so happy to see it to 20 years. This MAP is so well animated and deserves so much more recognition. Great work!!
😊
AHHH, GUYS WE DID IT!!! Super excited to see it completed!!! 💖 Great job to everyone too~
YES WE DID IT!! And Thank u for joining!! It was a blast having u!❤
@@stripescreations3209 Thank you for having me! 💖🥺
HI
@@mehlonni4601 HELLO MEHLONNI4601!! Great seeing you here in the comments (lmao what's with the numbers)
I stopped reading Warriors years ago, about at the end of middle school. I really loved that series, even though it's just a bunch of religious talking cats. This was so nostalgic. It's so amazing to see a new generation of younger animators still pouring out their love and making animations like these, all this time later.
It's sad that Ravenpaw never got to say goodbye to his friends or Princess never got to say goodbye to her brother and son. But at least Princess knows theyre still thriving out in the wild, like the heroes she thinks they are.
They are :) fire star is my favorite character ❤
What a coincidence it released the same time WCUE got the prey update, overall, big day for the Warriors community, happy kitty books everyone!
It's videos like this that make me somewhat happy that we never had an official movie or show. This fandom pours so much into these projects and I wouldn't trade any of it for anything.
Lov yellowfangs design sm!! Ahhh 20 years, 20 mins ago, :3
The warriors books literally changed my life. I was only 7 or 8 when I started reading them, and they influenced so much in my life. Some of my first artwork was of Firestar, and my first ocs were warriors characters. Without these books, I would be an entirely different person. I eventually stopped reading the books in high school, but I still have such a deep love and respect for this silly little cat series. It's hard to believe it's 20 years old!
i love this series
It's hard to believe Warriors has been out for 20 years already. I've only been in the fandom for just under 4 years now, but I hope to be a fan until the day I die. Warriors is an amazing book series, and this map made me cry after realizing that it's almost over. 20 years of amazing content from the authors, this series has been out for longer then I've been alive. It's an amazing series and it's definitely one that even when I'm 30 years old I'll probably find it and read it again just for the nostalgia. Thank you Warriors, for 20 good years, and thank you for making this amazing map.
I’m in my 30s now and still love this series. I love cats and got into because of my niece many years ago.
DUDE!!!!! This is such a fitting tribute to the bookseries that made all our childhoods! Awesome job, everybody!!!
started reading in 5th grade and though no longer part of the community, I still keep up with much of the animation community still 8 years later. I can't believe the series is already 20 years old. Still miss the days of SSSWarrior Cats and other artists from that era but I'm glad to see the community is still going strong. Great Job Everyone!
CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE YOU HAVE NO IDEA THE WAY I JUST CRIED My hands are litterally trembling while I write this, I'm also trying to keep the tears froim blurring my vision because I just can't stop smiling!! Every single part of this incredible MAP gave me goosebumps! There's no other word I can use to describe the feeling I have right now: P R O U D. I'm feeling SO proud of everyone and myself for putting our souls into this past six amazing months to finish what I KNOW witll be part of one of the best MAPs this community brought to life. Some thank you: STRIPES, you were the best host I ever had!! So patient and helpful, I can't thank you enough for letting me be part of this project as backup! To those that were my collab partners, YOU ARE AWESOME, amazing artists with great talent. Backups, thanks you sm for being there and helping us through the journey. On another hand, this is my first finished MAP and I'm over the clouds for it, I learned a lot along the way and experimented lots of emotions tho always positive ones. I can't wait to post my video of the behind trhe scenes of this!! So, to finish this, THANKS YOU AND CONGRATS ARTISTS, FANDOM COMMUNITY, AND WARRIOR CATS FOR AN AMAZING PROJECT THAT HIGHLIGHTED THE 20 YEARS OF ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING SERIES EVER!!!
AAAAHHH!!! I’m so glad to hear your reaction!! 😂 I completely agree, proud is the perfect word to describe everyone’s amazing effort!!! And TY for the kind words, that really just made my day!!! Tysm for joining this project, and participating in so many parts!!!❤
i am crying this brings back so many mamories
WE DID IT! Im so glad to have participated in this wonderful map! Everyone did such a good job!❤❤❤
I agree!! And Thank you so much for joining!!!!!❤
@@stripescreations3209congrats on 1k!
Omg Thank you!! It happened so fast lmao😂
@@stripescreations3209very fast!
YIPPEE WE DID IT OMGG, EVERYONE DID SO AMAZING
AAA I AGREE!! And Thank you so much for joining! It was a blast having u!!❤
7 minutes of pure, amazing, dedicated, beautiful, well-made ART!!! This is incredible!!! It's amazing to have this MAP completed, I can really tell that so much work was put into this, and all of our patience has been worth it!! Yessssss!!! Well done to everyone!! 😭💙
i cant get over how amazing this part is 1:46
i teared up man
When I saw this, I thought it would have been made by a huge creator, and was happy to see that a new creator was making this. Though I just found out about this now, it is an incredible project.
The Warriors cats will keep going as long we still loving this fandom, with all our love. Warrior cats forever!!!
This MAP is so beautiful. I love how it wraps every arc (besides DotC, but I understand wanting to keep it chronological) into one huge animation, showing some of the most iconic scenes and displaying what Warriors is all about. Every animator did a fantastic job! You should be proud.
I discovered Warrior Cats when I was 10 years old, there was the third book in my school library. I loved that book. I never got the chance to get the rest of the series but I plan on doing so soon. While my experience hasn't been at all good with the community, I absolutely adore the books.
I picked up Warriors in third grade and from then on it became my comfort series. Picking up one of these terrible cat books, these cat books meant for elementary schoolers, these cat books that are filled with mistakes and weird dialogue, gives me comfort and I'm not sure why. Can't believe it's been twenty years since they came out. And I can't believe I'm still reading them, twenty years later.
I feel like some of the topics you appreciate more when you are older for sure.
I cannot even find the words,,, I am absolutely HONORED to be a part of this map!! Everyone’s work and ability to convey emotions was so unbelievably stunning!! The end with Bristlefrost was so awesome and sad?? I had read TBC already and yet it brought tears in my eyes! Everyone packed an awesome series into 7 minutes and exceeded my expectations sm! 💕 this map deserves recognition for sure!! Thank you so much for hosting this and letting us be a part of this masterpiece, I loved working with others and seeing each part individually.
Thank you! And I agree, all the effort from the artists are absolutely amazing! And Tysm for joining!!!❤
I started reading warriors when I was in 3rd grade…dang I can’t believe this amazing series is 20 years old!
Omggg same 😊
OMG Congratulations everyone!! This is a MAP I can assurew you I put my soul into and I Can't wait how it looks finished. THANK YOU EVERYONE AND GREAT WORK!!!!!
IT WAS SUCH A PLEASURE TO BE APART OF THIS!! EVERYBODY DID SO WELL.... I LOVED WATCHING THIS
AAHH, AND TY FOR JOINING!!! It has been a blast having u!!❤
I can’t believe how long this fandom and book series has been around for. From a cat going into the wild, to epic battles, it brings back nostalgia.
The part where yellowfang is showing cinderpaw about the different herbs is just so cute. I miss them.. 🥲
I remember reading the books when i was 9 or smth,my friends kept calling me a furry lover and told me to stop reading warrior cats everytime.bug i ignored them and kept reading,im now at the broken code and finally convinced one friend to read the book.she even said she liked it!im now a warrior cats fan and man,20 years have already passed?from Rusty joining a clan to a long journey ahead,i truly believe Erin Hunter is a sucess.leading us with amazing stories.BlueStar,FireStar,GrayStar,BrambleStar and more leaders to ThunderStar!thank you so much warrior cats,you really inspired me.Happy 20 years!
What a MAP that deserves so much recognition! The thumbnail really catches your eye, and GAH! IT’S JUST SO BEAUTIFUL! Great job to everyone who took part in this!
I can’t believe warrior cats is so old now, all these years of memories ❤️ 🐈
I think I’m gonna cry, warrior cats has been the thing that’s grown my imagination, and seeing it grow just makes me feel so happy
20 Years is an accomplishment that shouldn't go unoticed especially all because of one cat who lead the start of it
The first warrior cats book I read was into the woods manga with tigerstar and sasha in 2011 I don't really read the newer books I haven't since the broken code and stopped mid-way because I burnt myself out, I still continue to support the animations because that was what kept me going, the animators that have put so much effort in every single, MAP, PMV's, stand alone animators and watching AU warrior cat videos made me love them even more
I remember when I was 11, and on the playground we play warrior cats and I was RavenFlight. This map made me tear up, it made me remind of all the hour I spent reading this lovely series. Thanks so much for making this map.
Nothing much here, just a bunch of people in a fanbase centered around anthropomorphic murder cats book celebrating the books turning 20 years old.
The amount of chills I got from this..I swear I love reading warrior cats
Ya know I wish I knew warriors earlier in my life. I’ve been knowing about warriors sense 2020 but started reading in June of last year and I’m on the 4th book of the second arc And for some reason I’m getting nostalgic even though I haven’t read all the books yet. What a ride it’s been
Warrior cats was my life. It feels good to be reminded of that nostalgia with this map. Istg these books were my only friends during lockdown
I left the warrior cats community long ago (gosh I sound like an old person, it was 3 years ago roughly). I don't regret my descision, but leaving something, leaving it for good, isn't always what it seems. People come back, people arrive, people leave. Warriors was such a journey for me, I'll never forget it. A salute to Erin Hunter, a salute to all the animators here, a salute to this video and a salute to the fire-pelted kittypet who saved the clans.
IT’S OUT!!!! I’m so glad I got to have a part in it!! It looks beautiful :)
YESS!! An Thank you so much for joining!❤
Omg I loveee thiss!! AAAAA, I CANT BELIEVE ITS ALREADY BEEN 20 YEARS!! I hope the series lasts for another 20 years!! 💕💕💕💕
this is beautiful. I'm nearly crying watching this. I can't believe its been twenty years...
Timestamps!! (For those new to warriors) 0:00-2:12 The Prophecies Begin 2:13-3:00 The New Prophecy 3:01-4:14 Power of Three 4:15-5:25 Omen Of The Stars 5:26-6:15 Dawn Of The Clans 6:16-7:58 Vision of Shadows :))))) (The two other series besides the ones listed are A Broken Code and A Starless Clan, which I don't think were animated here)
Actually, Dawn of the clans was left out and wasn't part of any animation!
A broken codes was in there for a little bit at the very ending.
HAPPY 20 YEARS TO WARRIOR CATS! IM SO GLAD THIS WAS COMPLETED!! HAPPY DAYS FOR ALL! THIS TURNED OUT SO BEAUTIFULLY! KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORI EVERYONE!!
This is so…nostalgic. To recall everything that happened from the first series
It just warms my heart to be reminded about this history in this series
I am totally breathless after this masterpiece. It's incredible how far Warrior Cats got. And all those animators and artists made such a perfect job. I love totally every part and thumbnail entry. Thank you so much for being a small part of this epic MAP ♥️.
I totally agree!! And Thank you so much for joining!
can i just say that the "meow" on 1:32 - 1:37 is just so cute im cryinggh 😭😭
the sad memories nearly broke my heart!!! i started the books when i was 14 and i still love them
Im one of the OG's qnd remebering this is making me cry right now. Warriors has gotten so far, and i bet you i will countiue going for a long, long time. This is one huge recap of the entire fandom. I made it half way though this vid and stop just to cry for 5 minutes.
Started reading warriors when i was in middle school, for a book report. Started by reading forest of secrets and was so taken with the series that i am now 26, studiously reading and rereading, and buying every new edition
it made me cry, even though im only on power of three. I watched the whole thing. What a masterpiece with a wonderful message. Edit: tysm for the ❤️ Creator!!!
I’ve been reading and watching warrior cats for Now 3.4 I love it it makes my cry idk why omg ❤❤
I started reading in ending 8th grade so last year, and i'm now out of 9th and on series 2 book 2! And so happy! I'm not the fasted reader, and had a few breaks here and there, but i've come so far! Can't belive 20 years have passed!
1:35… Featherkit sounds so…. Cute…?
I don't think I've seen any MAPs about the whole series in one video before, but you guys made it work really well.
I ALMOST CRIED. The fact that people were able to make such a detailed story containing issues other cans relate too, love, hatred, revenge, honor, and much more. Something that made a lot of childhoods better, something people can get lost into through tough times. A place that can be peaceful and not. Warriors is such a crazy series that I believe we should all be thankful for. Great job.
Wow. I still can't believe it!! I was in middle school (idk how old I was 😂) when a friend introduced me to the books with Fireheart. Fell in love with them and have loved them ever since. These books gave me a purpose and gave me a reason to keep fighting when I lost a pet and went through other things back then. They gave me a place to belong and so many different characters who I always could relate to one way or another.
EVERYONE HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO WARRIOR CATS I CANT BELIEVE IT. ITS BEEN 20 YEARS I BET EVERYONE FEELS SO OLD NOW HUH? SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY WARRIORS WE CANT WAIT FOR MANY MORE GREAT YEARS TO COME!!
20 years of books, games, fan-art and a whole community of people supporting these cats, all stories are amazing and im excited to see what happens next!
CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYBODY!!!!
aaHh Yes!! And Thank you for participating!❤
20 long years, longer than I've been alive, and this beautiful map shows all of it so beautifully. This feels like a spiritual successor to the 5 giants map, both amazing and special
It has been a long long while since I have interacted with anything Warriors, but I am only just older than the series itself is and it shaped my childhood. I don't have much to say other than it was a huge influence on so many writers, artists, and animators.
Middle school since I’ve been reading warrior cats. Such memories. I even thought the books would end after firestar died. Glad it’s still ongoing
geniunely sobbing currently
Man. Twenty years? I wasn't even ten when i started reading in 2020. Twenty years of ThunderClan ShadowClan RiverClan WindClan StarClan Rogues loners and kittypet leaders deputy warrior queen elder apprentice and kits I'm so happy twenty years and I'm so young now wasn't born when it started but happy late twenty years Warrior cats fans and more!
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MAP!!! It was very emotional and moving seeing 20 years of these iconic and influential cat book series adapted into an amazing project with so much effort from every single artist and animator 💖✨
Imagine if the warriors series ended with “ Rust we are back from the cutters (vet) ! “
SO HAPPY TO SEE THAT SUCH AN AMBITIOUS MAP WAS COMPLETED, because WOW, the justice this does to our silly little battle cat series is insane!!! It was so lovely to see all these arcs played out chronologically in such a format, and everyone did such an amazing job with telling the story! This is already one of my favorite MAPs ever... gosh, I am so proud of this fandom sometimes. Thank you to all participants and thank you Warrior Cats!
WE DID IT AND EVERYONE DID AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was a great pleasure working with everyone for this project!
YESS!! Thank you so much for joining! It was a blast having you!❤
IM IN LOVE WHIT THIS MAP
WOAH!! 20 actual whole years of Warriors into 1 video! This video actually reminded me of what the hell happens in the books I forget about. Everyone brought it all to life!! Good job!!
Has it really been that long? How time flies
I remember watching this a year ago. The nostalgia is crazy.
THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! I love how you showed so many scenes that people often bypass in MAPs. So much has happened in warriors and it was so cool to see all the arcs together! Well done everyone!! ❤
Congrats Warrior Cats:You becomed 20 years😄 I like the hawk there when they rised to their new home☺
One of the best cat series to ever exist. I’m so happy that I found this series and this map is beautiful❤❤ All of the artists are talented
This took me down memory lane
It's not just one arc is so many more of them! I love this so much. You showed just more than the story but the community. By the art styles that differ so much and how much care was obviously put in it!
The present for the Warriors Cats 20th anniversary came late, but finally is here. Yeahhh ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉!!!
Not even a minute in and I started crying. This is truly beautiful Warriors has come such a long, long way
Warrior cats is such an amazing series It is definitly my favorite, its the only fictional thing that made me cry, multiple times, and just thinking about how far its come, my eyes start to water. I'm so glad that 10 year old me decided to read that one book, in a shelf with many others, Into the wild caught my eye and I'm so happy I read it. I am still not finished with the series, but its still amazing These books aren't regular books, they learn a lot of things to young people and it is truly amazing Wow, this comment is way longer then I thought it would be, but I meant all of it Amazing series
THIS IS AMAZING! I can’t believe it’s been 20 years since the first book published!
man this is the best animation i have ever seen, and i love this series whith my heart but its kinda sad that its all done,its over
