Thank you so much for watching! I have been working on this project basically every day for the last two months, but I first started it over a year ago. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for quite a long time now. I have done one video using this song before. I really love this song, and this concept was something it felt very important to me to bring to life and share and I’m so happy to have finally done it. This song has a special place in my heart. It reached into me and touched me in a profound way, and I wanted to try to make something that could show how it makes me feel. Q. What is this story about? A. It’s about a few things. Kat, the white cat, and Bruno, the orange cat, are next-door neighbors and have grown up as childhood friends. Both are teenagers now and still friends. Kat has become involved in a relationship with an older man, represented by the wolf character, something Bruno repeatedly expresses concern over. It’s obvious to him that this isn’t healthy, this isn’t right, but she begs him not to tell anyone and convinces herself it’s fine. He holds that secret for her, even though watching her make this obvious mistake is painful. Finally, she makes the decision to end things, which is when he moves toward her violently and she is for the first time frightened, which is when Bruno appears and hits him with the shovel. After this they bury his body, and when Kat’s mother becomes suspicious, they dig it up again and throw it into the lake. The story is about the trauma Kat has put herself through, the decisions she has made and how they have affected her- and how they affect the people that love her, too. Watching someone you love do things that hurt themselves is painful, and as a result of the decisions they both made, in the end, they’ve created even more trauma from what Bruno had to do to save her. It is easy to hurt yourself and to hurt the people that love you, and we all do it. In the end, though, despite everything, they sit together beneath the orange tree and find comfort within each other. Whether their relationship is platonic or romantic is ambiguous, but it is still love either way, and love is the only thing that truly heals those kinds of wounds. Q. How long did this take? A. Two months of near constant work, but I did most of the original storyboard a year ago. Q. Did you do all of this on your own? Yes. I did not make the song, but all of the visuals are entirely mine. I didn’t have any help. Q. Are these your original characters or are they from something? A. I made them. They’re original characters I made to tell the story of the song. Q. What did you animate this in? A. Clip Studio Paint EX. Q. How old are the characters in this? A. I’ve left it ambiguous. Kat and Bruno are teenagers and the man is older, but whether Kat is 16 or 19 is up to your own personal interpretation. Either way she is being taken advantage of. Q. What’s with the art style? A. The song addresses what feels like quite a heavy topic, but it has this sort of simplistic, traditional melody. It feels innocent in a way, at a stark contrast to what its about. I thought the cutesy, animal-crossing adjacent art style would help convey that feeling of wrongness, the heavy topic and sweet visuals, the same way there is a feeling of wrongness seeing a young person like Kat in this situation. Q. I didn’t know you could do frame by frame! A. Lmao i know a lot of ppl think that. I hope i never hear that one again lol. ;) Q. Do you take commissions? A. Rarely. I would be willing to take commissions for projects where the commissioner owns the song/audio or wants animation for their own projects, IE, twitch animations, channel logo animations, etc. My business email is Draikinator@yahoo.com Q. Do you participate in multi-animator projects? A. I haven’t in awhile, but I would be willing to. If you have a project you would be willing to let me participate in, feel free to send a link to my business email and I will check it out. Thank you.
I love this story! You did so well, I’m animating myself and I was wondering if you got any tips for animating and visual ideas.
@@cottonwillow2820 Always sketch/storyboard before you start animating shots, try to vary up shot composition as much as you can, and above all, avoid burnout. taking breaks is better than powering through to the finish and losing motivation before you get there!
@@Draikinator Alr! Tysm! I can’t wait to start animating :)
How old was the wolf character? Im just curious bc u said he was way older than her and was being taken advantage of
@@WAZZP. it says here the age is ambiguous. So all we know is Kat was a teen and wolf was an adult

2:08 you can tell he was just trying to protect her. the way his eyes are and the tail shows that he was scared of what the wolf was going to do to her. and the scene direct after when kat is stumbling over to bruno is beautiful. 10/10 loved the animation!
That my fav part :3
Adding onto this, the way he had realised what he had done was immaculate. The way he was petrified of having commit murder, knowing he was protecting his best friend. The transition from protective blind rage, to pure adrenaline fear, it was gorgeous, you could feel each and every single frame and emotion Bruno felt then and there
I love how at 0:51 the flowers stem has been cut off, suggesting that the abusive boyfriend “deflowered her” nice little detail I noticed
and the scene after she wasnt wearing any clothes in bed
3:05 it was daytime to nightime
@@Claire_From_FPEit shows how much time it took ig
@@Lovinglife4everxoxo lol I didn't know
2:16 this bit was probably my favourite but it’s just so packed with emotion and I love how impactful it is to the story!
I know! I got chills during that part
This part makes me wanna cry a lot or smth, it keeps reminding me of a old comic dub I used to watch with a toxic friendship and I still can’t get it out of my brain
The look Bruno often has like he's lost or out of it after he killed the man is very accurate, for I assume they're both still relatively young, early 20's perhaps, and doing something like that so suddenly at such a young age can certainly leave lots of trauma on someone, often leaving them to question their actions. Bruno might know he did right thing, saving his friend's life, yet still distraught about what he'd done. It's very spot on, and honestly amazing work. Great job!
A bit younger all I know is there minors
@@2111ah Nate said that they were 16-19.
@@fabplays6559 they’re said to be any around teenager age, it’s based on what you interpret them as.
@@dreamt0wn739 Yeah but the person above me is correcting that they’re minors, even though Nate said interpretting them as young adults was valid.
It really reminds me of Goodnight Pun Pun. It's a very good manga. Don't recommend it. 10/10
Pointing things out cuz why not! :D Fun fact: cats tails will wag quickly when anxious,angry,or sad. Notice how much times their tails sway as they feel harsh emotions. This one isn’t a fun fact but it’ll work: notice how much smaller Kat is then the wolves. Both the one she was in a relationship with and the workers/police who asked her where the one she was in a relationship with went. Showing how young she might be. They live with their parents! People who might 18-20 might live with their parents but they most likely would move to a university or college dorm. This might mean their very young. I’m saying 13-16. Showing more on Kat being gr-med. Just a theory for this one but I think the flowers show the relationship of Bruno and Kat during the wolves relationship with Kat. The petals falling down on one of them after the argument and after the wolf is killed by Bruno the flower is seen more healthy.
Cool
I say Bruno is 11-13
Plus the wolf cuts the flower symbolizing kat getting "deflowered"
I’m so glad the creator(s) didn’t make Kat and Bruno fall in love like those Disney high school movies. This makes it so much better
Yup. Just 'cause a guy and a girl become friends doesn't mean they have to get all lovey-dovey.
I thought she song was ab interracial relationships? (That’s what I heard on TikTok)
@@user-io1dg5gy8f it’s a song about young girl who started relationships with man what works in government.
@@user-io1dg5gy8f If I’m correct there is no confirmed meaning.
most likely not
As someone who has been groomed and abused in relationships in the past, this hits super hard. I appreciate how you portrayed everything that could happen in a toxic relationship like this. You even go to the point to show no matter how bad the person was that was killed, murder will bring a whole lot of guilt and pain, as well as trauma. This is a very accurate representation of the pains, I could connect with Kat a lot when it comes to wanting to leave but having fear of the outcome only to finally stand up and be met with aggression. Even though I can't connect fully with the whole scenario here as I was able to get out of the relationship before it went too far thanks to friends intervening, I still can feel the pain of a toxic relationship, so thanks for tackling such a dark subject matter.
I’m so sorry that you had to go through that I’m sending my best wishes💛
Late response, I’m so sorry you had to go through that..I hope you are doing better, don’t forget you are beautiful and amazing
Me too! That’s why I really adore the symbolism here and how they captured it, I’m so sorry you had to go through that, as I did. I can relate how hard it is to move past.
I’m so sorry that this has happened to you Bittle,,I hope you can recover for the best,nobody deserves to ever go something like that; (it’s me Liv,I didn’t expect to find ourselves in the same comment section)
I'm so sorry :(
This was… absolutely stunning. The story-telling, the expressions, the colors, the framing, the animation, it was all perfect. One of my favorite animation videos, definitely. I hope to see more of Bruno and Kat 👀
I WAS ABOUT TO WRITE THIS THEN I SAW THIS AND OMG THE REAL TRUE!!!
And I love how even though to art in this isn’t so detailed but shows such expression that you can tell what their feeling
I’ve never agreed with a comment so much
@@noahthedog3506 oh cool !
They need to return. Will Bruno get away with murder again? Will he get arrested? Who knows.
this animation hits close to home. Not the murder part, but my best friend helped me out of a sexually and emotionally abusive relationship with an older guy. My mom blamed me for it, and she still does. He got the guy arrested, but both he and I still feel guilt.
I know this is 2 months late but I hope you are feeling better now. The older guy DEFINITLY deserves to be going to jail, where he can’t put harm to other people. I hope you are able to get the help you need to cope after such a situation. 🫶🩷
Hope you're doing better now.
I love the fact that the song name is "Bruno is orange" and in this animation Bruno is quite literally Orange. Edit:WHAT WHEN DID I EVEN GET THIS MANY LIKES TYSM

This is so silly but my favorite part is with Bruno driving the shovel into the ground (2:43 - 2:48) syncs with the song in a way that feels like you can actually hear the shovel being dragged into the dirt. It's just the cherry on top for an incredibly heartwrenching animation. Same with at 2:59 with the creepy wolf in the rug hitting the water, it's like you can hear the splash.
It even sounds like *shoveling intensifies*
I have just very recently been sexually abused and taken advantage of. It lasted months and it came from someone who was my closest friend and then turned into a horrible abusive relationship. Once I watched this video, I cried a lot cause I relate to it so much. My best friend is helping me heal from my abuse, just like Bruno in the video. I love the way your portray all the feelings of despair, agony, sadness, delusion there. I love how you show, without any words how the wolf is a manipulator. Thank you for making this video I can relate so much to. I am in a lot of pain right now, but seeing this video gives a weird sense of hope and it helps a lot. Amazing job, I love everything in it.
I hope your ok now :)

Thank you! I feel, before I took a year long hiatus, I had stopped being an artist, and truly become a content creator. I really resent that, and as a part of coming back I wanted very much to create artwork again, and this is the real result of that, something I'm proud of that comes from my heart.
@@Draikinator It was really worth it; I hope you’re proud of this.
@@Draikinatori rewatch this a lot
First off, I love that you decided to draw this in a more simple, “childish” art style. It really shows how young and innocent the main characters are, and brings a great contrast to the darker themes/lyrics. What I really, really love about this though, is the facial expressions and body language. It is so easy to tell what the characters are doing and feeling. One of my absolute favorite parts are at 0:25. Sometimes one of the hardest aspects of conveying emotions and acting, is when a character is standing still and there really isn’t a lot of movement. Yet in these few seconds, so much is happening with Bruno. Waves of emotions, conflicting feelings. Sadness, concern, anger - in mere seconds. It’s like, so little yet so much happens on screen. Honestly I could ramble on forever, about your acting and story telling in animation, but what I’m trying to say is: I admire how well you animate drama and acting!
Frfr
Frrr
🇫🇷🇫🇷
Even though im extremely late, this is absolutely amazing and to me, it really shows how people feel when emotionally or sexually abused, it shows the mixture of helplessness, anger, and fear all in one of being abused, and it really showed how angry Bruno was at the fact that Kat was being sexually abused by the wolf, everything in this video is perfect.
I remember obsessing over this when I was younger and made little character drawings of those little cats and sang this in the shower like half the time I love this animatic.
As someone who has experienced all except the, "death" & "murder", this absolutely hits a totally different spot. I'm currently trying to put all those negative things behind me, so I thought I should maybe watch animations like this. Considering I love animation and I make animations. I don't actually know if it's working or not, but this is astonishing. The movements, the expressions, the color settings.. everything. It may not be the same feeling as anyone else, but I can closely relate to this (of course, except the murder). This video and animation was simply beautiful and touching, thank you. You've earned a subscriber, please keep up the amazing work!!

@@Draikinator My name is kat and my best friend is very…. “Controlling” if he doesn’t like something I can’t either, my other friends helped me get out of that tho, so I feel like I can slightly relate
The release of tension on “I had to save you” was really well timed. The flow of this is really well done.
That, “I HAD TO SAVE YOU!” Man I really felt that
God the expressions and body language especially gave me chills. CHILLS. I can't stop rewatching this from around 1:52 onwards in particular. The way it flows and the characters move set the tone for the story and its SO goddamn good
For the first part I thought Kat was Brunos mom and was wondering where the grooming would come in if the moms boyfriend had no interest in him.
You know, it's funny, someone said in the live chat "is that his mom?" And I immediately had this "oh my god I never considered someone might interpret it that way I didn't account for that oh my god how is that going to come across" panic lol. I tried to think of as many ways someone could interpret things as I could so I knew where I needed to make things more clear but I totally missed that one
same I thought kat was his mom and bruno tried to tell her that he was a shady guy but she was like give him a chance

Lyrics for "Bruno Is Orange" Bruno, what did you tell that man? He's a clever man, did you know? I bet he works for the government And I know you know I know I can't control thoughts of things I needed I believe everybody needs some encouragement I think it's real unfair That you should put him there All we did is kiss On my grave, I swear Where did you find his shoes? A lock of my hair? All we did is kiss On my grave, I swear Some dull morning we were wearing sheets And he whispered, "I think that they know better than me" See this hand that pushed you into the creek? I'm sorry, 'was just fun, and you were laughing We were running towards the street And I wrote my name into the fresh painted yellow line And you wrote your name right there next to mine We had to dodge a truck He almost hit a bug I think we had some luck And for two bucks We bought some bread And fed the grey geese And the ducks Everyone will come Everyone will yell I'd thank you just the same If you didn't tell My mother says that I will surely go to hell Please be a good man Please say you won't tell Did you know that that boy is an armed man? Bearing flowers into hands Very able to hold me down (And love me more than anyone) Bruno, what happened to your good sense? I broke down, that man's good I bet he works for the government Did you hear about that mother? Broke her daughter's legs in two And said, "It's too dangerous out there to walk, so I had to save you" I think it's real unfair That you should put him there All we did is kiss On my grave, I swear Where did you find his shoes? A lock of my hair? All we did is kiss On my grave, I swear Everyone will come Everyone will yell I'd thank you just the same If you didn't tell My mother says that I will surely go to hell Please be a good man Please say you won't tell Bruno, did you know that the Greeks in morning would eat oranges? They were firm believers in fruit-curing fevers And I agree See, they believe that an orange warms the stomach
2:08 HELL YEAH!!! I feel a deep connection to both of these characters. I think, in a way, I’m a lot like both of these characters. I’ve never been in a romantic relationship, but I have been abused. I’m still unlearning a lot of what my abuser planted in my head, and living with him grows more intolerable by the day, but I’m not in a position where I can reasonably move out within a year, maybe even two. So. Content like this helps me remember that there are good people out there that will fight for you, and if ever you can’t find one, that means you have no choice but to fight for yourself. If you find yourself in a situation like this, stay strong-it won’t last forever, you will get out, you deserve to get out, you deserve to be loved-truly loved, by other people and by yourself. Amazing art, Draik💜

The mastery of the English language and music shown in the original song is crazy. I was taken aback on my second listen when I realized what I thought was a slurred "Some dumb whore, what were you were wearing?" was actually "Some dull morning, we were wearing sheets." It makes me think of those audios that change depend on what you're focusing on: except it doesn't use any tricks of audio engineering to achieve the effect. It's just that the syllables align perfectly to communicate an alternative meaning, when you have the context. As someone who can't rhyme or maintain poetic meter worth a shit, that's just, WOW. Love it, love the animation.
tbh the color palette is so yummy…

Wow that is an amazing animation you did. I love the idea that you used kinda the animal-crossing style to cover up this heavy topic and the consequences it brings. 2:23 is my fav part . I hope to see more animations in the future ^^
Okay, I have two things to say. One, this was a stunning representation of what people who have experienced this sort of thing go through (I would know, because I’m unfortunately a victim). The animation was beautiful, and using cartoony, cute characters to go through this story really shows that anybody can get in that situation. Two, who else just got really sad when they say they had snipped his little flower? Like, he probably worked really hard on that ;-;
I'm pretty sure the flower being cut was supposed to represent Kat being deflowered
2:06 and on was my absolute favorite. There's so much going on. Not to mention this is one of my favorite songs.

Amusing sidenote, but actual lyric is "you wrote your name right there into the fresh painted yellow line" which would be, like, the opposite, but visually that was just Very Complicated to depict so I just handed them a crayon and prayed no one pointed it out. (Here I am, pointing it out)

I’m sad because I can really relate to this animated video.. everyone does need some encouragement and the meaning of this is huge. The color pallets is amazing and the character designs are perfect. You animate amazingly, remember us me when you become a celebrity!❤

Honestly this was only now recommended to me, I’ve always loved the song since seeing your first original meme with it and seeing this now with such an amazing story told in such a simplistic but informative way? I’m awestruck
You know I already had this idea in mind before I even made that meme? But it was such a huge thing, a fully animated music video?? And I barely had the skill to pull it off even if I had the time. I almost did the meme as sort of an apology to myself, you can't make that huge project you really want to , but you can still share this song you love and do something special. But that nagging idea just never went away. I never stopped wanting to do it. It feels surreal after all these years for it to exist now.
The truth is I have not been someone who has I have a relationship but I have suffered abuse in many aspects and seeing the scene in which Bruno defends Kat from the wolf made me shed some involuntary tears because when I suffered it, unfortunately for me, no one helped me, not even my own mother and it became an issue. something delicate for me because I suffered it as a child from a relative ;(
I'm so so blessed I got to see you work on this, AMAZING work!!
The words “good shit” can not come close to the absolute emotions I felt watching this
One word. WOW.
Draikinator was the one who created this meme template. It’s only right that they’re the one who perfects it. A masterpiece made from the ground up. Astonishing.
Man, i don't even know where to start. This was truly a masterpiece. the story telling, animation, everything. but man that got dark quick👀
They should make this the official music video. Absolutely stunning!
I think I'd die and go to heaven on the spot
:)
“Where’s all the bleach?” 7 y/o me: 2:35
Lol
I'm gonna say why I love this animation so much I sadly went through a very similar situation with Kat My wolf always knew how to smooth talk me into feeling like whay he was doing was normal while he was abusing me I recently got out but sadly in this situation I didn't really have a Bruno to rely on Luckly now I have my bruno or brunos who show me what genuine care and love is
My favorite animation. The story, everything- you portray that no matter how good a relationship may look, a thin layer simply hides what goes on before- and how murdering someone, even the bad for greater good, can be traumatizing.
When Bruno hits the guy with Shovel! Thats soo my favorite part. Just how dramatic it is and the look of terror on his face is just SO perfect for the moment
I'm very grateful for the mature reference warning, 👀 but I'm still both glad and surprised that the mature subjects were either tamed or only hinted at. This meaning that the result wasn't as explicit as your warning led me to fear👍
Everything about this is so perfect. The pace of the animation, the business and panic of the music, the emotional vocals, the monotone grays beside one single hue of orange, the facial expressions!?!? It’s so flawless
This is hella amazing draik! İ almost freaked out to the point i rolled over the floor h, your animations never fail to amaze me! :O
An "Orange warms the stomach" and Bruno is orange, what a nice phrase for him :(
2:03 : the line 'very able to ho!d me down' accompanied by the wolf's shadow overtaking kat, was a sign of what that wo!f could have done had Bruno not been there. Never been in a situation like that, nobody should. But despite that, people are still piles of shit for no reason somtimes, anyone who has been in that kind of relationship/situation, you should have been more appreciated, and, if you do still date, I hope you end up with somone who is amazing and would never do the sort of thing that is described in this video. On the other hand, 100/10 vid Edit: the bells at the end are especially good to add character to the song, the bells remind me of dragging a body
This is truly beautiful! I could only imagine the energy it took to make this, So thanks to you for the great animation!
I LOVE THIS ITS SO FREAKING BEAUTIFUL, I also love the story that is told here a heavy one sure but it told very well in this video
Thank you so much! I was obviously very concerned with handling it carefully, but it's a topic that hits home for me, and art is how I express myself. I hope I've done it justice.
For me, you did, you did it great justice
Bruno’s face when he says “I had to save you” gets me in tears every time 😭
Fr😭
Even though with no real conversation and only actions, you could see how the story progressed and how that’s characters felt because of their face features. This is amazing.
THIS SHOULD BE THE OFFICIAL VID! I UNDERSTOOD THE STORY PERFECTLY!!! ITS AWESOME!
I THOUGHT THIS WAS MADE 3-4 YEARS AGO?!?!!!!? DAMN....
NAHH SAME
IT STILL SLAPS
Nothing patches up a relationship like murder Yea I know bruno saved her life, I just find it absolutely hilarious how casually they are just burying a body and cleaning up the crime scene
Shock can do some weird things. I have to relive a traumatic experience almost every time I go to the doctor, and after it happens, every time I am insanely calm. It's like my body just ran out of adrenaline. It mystifies my parents, but I think it's because of my undiagnosed mental disorders. So it makes sense that it just looks like they're casually doing that, but shock can do some weird things.
I LOVE HOW BRUNOS TAIL POOFED UP WHEN HE KILLED THE WOLF 😭😭
Cus he was scared poor baby
I’m exactly like Bruno, but I don’t have the shovel to protect the one I love I hold out hope that I will one day be able to protect him.
Me: *Oh gosh that was astonishing but so dark* My brain: *Watch it again* Me: *Good idea*
some lyrics until 1:21 bruno what did you tell that man he's a clever man, did you know I bet he works for the government and I know you know I know I cant control all the things I need and I believe everybody needs some encouragement I think its real unfair That you just put him there all we did was kiss on my grave I swear Where did you find his shoes a lock of my hair all we did was kiss on my grave I swear i think its real unfair that you should put him there all we did was kiss on my grave I swear where did you find his shoes a lock of my hair all we did was kiss on my grave I swear . . . one dull morning we were wearing sheets and he whispered "I think they know better than me" see this hand that pushed you into the creek im sorry was just fun you were laughing we were heading towards the street and i wrote my name into the fresh painted yellow line and you wrote you name right there next to mine --------------------------- aaaaa anyway THIS WAS AMAZING what-
It is quite literally impossible for me to cry 99% of the time idk why. But this, it genuinely made me tear up with emotion
Same bro, this hits 😢
Wow!!! This was amazing to watch!! I think it’s stunning that you did this by yourself, you are amazing Draikinator!!
Thank you so much!
0:48 just realized is quite literally representing her being "deflowered"
i’ve watched this an unhealthy amount of times
Same 😭😭
Fr😭
I interpreted this as a best friend or a brother being worried about his sister’s/friend’s well being after getting Ava’s vibe about her boyfriend, one day he sees him scaring her and tries to save her, but he goes too far by accident, and the two keep it to themselves, hiding the body in the river to keep themselves out of trouble.
i cant wait! edit: The finished product is SO BEAUTIFUL!
Everytime I watch this, no matter how many times, I literally tear up.. the emotion in the story mixed with the song work so well!
