DKC: Return to Krocodile Isle - Animated Short

Its been an incredible ride for the past 2.5 years. From working alongside Martin to develop the story outline, to helping build our team, to kasting voices- all of this…on top of what was already an incredible honor being able to provide the voices of Krusha/Kaboom/Swanky/The ‘K. Rool Rap’ Announcer, and even sing as some of the backing khoir! Absolutely INSANE.

I’ve long wanted to bring the world of DKC to modern audiences with my world-building and endless knowledge of the games and series. I couldn’t have made it happen with Martin, Alex and Al. It’s been the highest honor.

K Rool = Nero

Y'know For A Big Portly Fellow K.Rool Is Very Acrobatic

DKC was the very first game i ever played. the very first game i ever owned. the very first game i ever beat. the absence of the Kremling Krew has been a bitter one, and witnessing this masterpiece reminds me that i am not alone in this regard. Long Live the King, and that aint a Disney reference

When I was young I remember playing donkey kong country and when when I saw krool in smash I actually fainted

I can't believe I waited this long to watch this. It looks amazing, and the fact you got the original voice actors for this is amazing.

Oh man, this is in-krem-able. absolutely outstanding.

Incredible. I want to see a movie from y'all

I feel like we're watching a 3D Don Bluth film.

I need instrumental O.O

This video has so many little touches and details that it’s unbelievable. Little words and references in the characters, the backgrounds, even the sound design. It’s clear so much passion and effort went into this video. Every time I watch it I notice some new little detail that makes me grin. Best Donkey Kong animation ever.

My god this is incredible

Si se pudiera dar mas de un me gusta... siempre regreso a este video porque es jodidamente hermoso ❤

🔥

There's no denying it, the trope of "Theatric Villain's" is on a whole different level. I suppose it only makes sense; it is literally the desire of these villains to entertain and enthrall us through their extravagant theatrics. So of course we'd fall in love with their top tier performances! (and they allow those creating their performance to really go all out, which is always fun to see!)

Very Disney animation like

Really nice.

Genuinely a better musical number than Disney themselves could put out these days

damn

This still is for a big King K. Rool enthusiast like me just amazing.
I still was kinda let down when my boy didn’t appear or was mentioned in the Mario Movie.
But he will probably appear if Donkey Kong gets a movie.
There is nobody who would fit more as his villain in the movie then our favorite crocodile.
He would also need a musical number. Maybe just one, but if Bowser can get one then K.Rool can also get one.
Even if we don’t get a Donkey Kong movie I am glad this master piece exist.
Nintendo and Illumination really should consider hiring all of the people who made this video.
A full movie with that quality and so much love to the source material would just be amazing.
Nothing would make me happier then seeing King K. Rool on the big screen.

I can't even describe how passionate this project is, it's simply beautiful.

King k rool desperately needs re-debut in dkc to make sure he isn't video game dead.

I think annapansu should make a cover of this song. The songs and the animations and the fact that some of the people who done the dkc tv show were doing the same characters from the show is amazing.

How did somebody make this. This is incredible.

FUNFACT: KIng K. Roll's torso is probably an armor.
Fact 1- Is gold, like his crown and bracelets. (I've seen it in a short comic about Smashbros)
Fact 2- He's the only one who has a navel, since his hole tripullation does not.

Looky here, looky here, look what I've got. Don't think I won't let little Diddy DROP.

This is actually incredible. Wow.

Does anybody know if David Wise reacted to this?

Hello! I'm Japanese．
your animation and song is excellent！
I love King K Roor and King DEDEDE.
I like this animation!!

This should've been King K. Rool's smash trailer. If only.

This animation seems so inappropriate now considering whats happening in gaza

TBH, I didn't grow up with the series, but I've seen videos and clips of the show, especially the songs. I've never thought about the idea of bringing the ACTUAL voice actors to directly participate in fanmade Nintendo content actually coming to fruition. There must have been some serious dedication made to contact the voice actors to work on this labor of love. No wonder this got so many views!

K rool beats donkey Kong in rizz armour and brains and voice

I have, as of recent, been of the opinion that Tom Clancy should play King K. Rool in a DK movie.
This being, of course, if Nintendo can't get Benedict Campbell on the horn.

Spotify????????

Diney.

This sort of love and devotion to a project could never be replicated by corporate cinema. This is such a remarkable love note to both the creative minds behind it and to the fans. One of the best videos I have ever seen, and huge props to every single person behind this endeavor. Not enough words can express my own appreciation, but there you go. As an amateur voice actor, stuff like this is what inspires me. Seriously. Thank you for making this.

I'm literally speechless...

I ate a cat

I’m on a rewatch spree with this one. As a Musical Theatre enthusiast, this kicks ALL the ass. Well done and congratulations to all involved <3

this was amazing, thanks so much!

I’m a bit confused about the ending. So he did he reclaim it? Otherwise this is perfect

Beautiful. My friends and I are making a live action DKC movie. It's coming along pretty well.

Mais Bordel, Illumination et Nintendo, appeler ce gars pour qu'il travaille pour vous ❤❤❤❤❤❤ J'adore cette animation
