Shut Eye - ANIMATIC

"No Return" This guy: that sign can't stop me because I can't read

My theory is that the first train was a test illusion, created by the devil herself. The dog who kicked Steban after he jumped on it was so greedy that he wouldn't even let another dog be free from the curse. His greed lead him to his eternal doom, since his train seemed to turn, while Steban's train kept going straight. The train doesn't stop in the town because the devil's curse on the town makes it invisible to trains, since there's no train station in the town either way. Since Steban didn't get on the doom train, he managed to actually see the train that would free him, and he chased after it. Not with greed, but with desperation. He would have helped another dog get on if there was one, since he's not greedy. And his train kept going straight. It didn't turn like the other train, so it actually took him to freedom

Anyone here in 2024??

POV: coming back 5 years later to watch it again and memories hit hard Anywaysss I feel the need to say it again, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING the motion, the color choices, everything, this is definitely one of the most iconic animatics on youtube and you completely deserve it

In my opinion: This is a cursed town and the devil gets everyone's soul by forcing them to make a deal with her. The first time the train passed it was an illusion by her to make him think he was doomed. But then the actual train passed. Edit: most questions are already answered in the replies. Also there's another comment that explains this small theory better. The user is called "Lilarts!"

I know why the devil has a compass eye! WWAAAAYYY back when the first compass first created sailors thought it was associated with the devil and convicted themselves it was deadly and you couldn’t trust it. HOPE SOMEONE SEES THIS!

Coming back after 5 years. This is all I can think about when I hear this song because it fits so well. An old western-style town cursed by the devil, trapping wandering travellers who, if they’re lucky enough to leave, wonder if they just needed “more shut eye.” Not to mention the composition is great. The shots of Steban running through the town and then the transition to him earlier in the song running after the train was really smooth. After going into art in college, I have a whole new appreciation of this than I did 5 years ago.

Is it odd that at the beginning where the 2 dogs communicate, I can easily know what kind of voices they have? The dog who warned the traveller had a mild husky voice while the traveller sounded like a young Midwestern folk, well that's how I hear them speak-

It makes me very sad that nobody mentioned how well the animation flows with the song. It's clear a lot of effort was put into the animation and how it matches the song. Even if I'm a couple years late, that doesn't mean I appreciate this video any less.

6th Grader: Walks into school 8th Grader: You made a mistake coming here traveler. This school is cursed by the devil herself. Principle glares from across the hallway

2:32 OOOOMMMGGGGGGGG I let out a HUGE breath I was holding!!!!! GODDAMN!!!!!!! SKAILLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DUDE!!!!! This had me SOOOOO hooked!!!!!! Felt like I was watching a movie; the usage of the two tone palettes, I felt like I was there. I felt the suspense and eeriness of the place. I felt the fear and adrenaline of the character as he was trying to catch the train before being stuck with that thing. 1000%%%%% WELL DONE!!!! WOW!!!!

I think it's cool how you can see posters of missing dogs at the wall at 0:17 and the next thing you see is those dogs sitting there and playing cards.

This could really be a movie 😳

Nobody: Not even a single soul: Train Conductor: Wait why are there a bunch of doggos chasing ma train?

I listened to this when I was 10. Im 15 now, and this is still top tier animation. Beautiful and nostalgic

I did not see this animatic when it first came out, this is my first time watching. But I wish I could have the same memories of watching this that other people have, because WOW this is amazing!

1:47 "GET BACK HERE AND TELL ME I'M PRETTY!"

I showed this to my grandfather and he absolutely loved it, he said the western style was so captivating 😂

OMG I FINALLY FOUND IT!!!!!! I've literally been looking for this for years💀 I remember watching it as a kid and I wanted to rewatch, but I haven't been able to find it until now😭
