I still have vivid memories of the trailer for Legend of the Crystal Coconut on the Hot Newz 64 VHS tape I got from Toys R Us promoting DK64. This is rad.
Ifkr. There were so many things from the old show that this video was just the biggest nostalgia trip just as much as it was an immensely well-done redo of an old childhood show song. Legit, Nintendo needs to hire these mf's if they EVER plan on doing a new DKC cartoon show.

If Nintendo's making movies regarding their all-stars, no question, Mario and Donkey Kong deserve to have this style of animation and well-written songs for these types of sequences/moments.
What if Nintendo sees this and decides: “You know what, I think this would make a great revival series or movie of Donkey Kong. Let’s get these guys who made this on the project and make it happen.”
Fuck amazon, i purchased the pre order for the new dvd and old one that was out of stock and i was charged for both only to be told they were out of stock and was refunded.. i was like HELL NOOOOO KEEP MY MONEY AND SEND ME THEM DVDS! and they just refunded me... WHyyyyyy?!?!?!
Bro really pulled up to DK’s home, found out the Coconut was not there and wasn’t even upset about it. Then he pulled up on K.Rool and DK while they were fighting then took to coconut. Legend
This is breathtaking. The high quality animation, the artstyle, the colors, all the little details, references and easter eggs. THIS IS WHAT A CALL A MASTERPIECE! I love the DK games and have a nostalgic soft spot for the TV Show. Makes me want a full movie in this style, made with just as much care.

Ah, a fellow fan of the tv show. Good times were had every time I watched that show. Scurvy and his crew were always a treat. My favorite episode is still the Christmas expo episode, where Klump and Scurvy were revealed to be brothers. I still have to fight back tears after that reveal.
It’s insane how this is like a full-blown studio production level of quality and like. incomprehensibly beautiful animation. It’s incredible that works like this exist, and that people as talented as you can put so much work into turning such a niche song into _this_ purely out of passion. This is truly inspiring to animators like myself, so please: keep doing what you love, this is truly one of the best animated works ive seen EVER!!
As much as I ironically love the motion capture of the original cartoon, this goes to show what a more cartoonish and high budget modern DK cartoon could look like. It’s so lively and I love the liberties taken with the designs, especially the funny monkees. It’s a shame the DKC property has fallen off the starboard side in recent years, and something like this would probably never be realized into a show. But if it were give this man full creative control!

Good lord, how long did this take to make?! It is so incredibly high quality that I assumed it was officially Nintendo endorsed… then realized it was an Alestorm song. The animation quality is out of this world. It’s like a big budget music video with so much care put into it- I couldn’t tell whether it was 2D or 3D. That is a testament to how well this is made! The beautiful charm of the DK characters being honored and made manifest with the goofy but tense gags and atmosphere. This is honestly one of the best things I’ve seen in two decades of watching CZcams. I never even checked the length of the video with how invested I was with this!
Small detail I love: when DK confronts K. Rool, he heads straight for the coconut, not a punch. Protecting the island comes first, not petty revenge! (that comes second)
@@mrviking2mcall212 on one hand maybe, on the other hand Nintendo is very protective of their IP‘s and get a lot of say in how they’re portrayed. (detective Pikachu)
Didn't expect to see Kruggsmash here (hope no forgotten beasts have eaten your dwarves yet). Also, I've only seen clips of the original DKC Show, but I like fan animations and I'm so glad I clicked on this vid. The talent and love poured into it shows.
When I was a kid, this was my favorite song from the old DK TV show. The animation wasn’t all that great even for the time, but songs like Pirate’s Scorn were one of the reasons the show was something of a success. Was a crazy hit in France from what I heard. But if they ever brought it back in this style, it being a hit wouldn’t be in question.
Tell me about it. As a die hard fan of that cartoon this is absolute treasure. Fun fact: I was watching the OG version of this song right when this video came out. Also can I have a word with you about why you dissed on the best block in minecraft? That being Birch wood. I can think of 1 million uses for it right now, it makes a good Zebra themed house and..... Ok now i see your point.
As a rare Unironic Donkey Kong Country Show Liker and Alestorm Nerd, this is the best thing I've seen all week. Nay, all YEAR. All DECADE, even! When I was a confused teenager I got a little figure of Skurvy and he's meant a lot to me as a good luck charm. As a character he represents the fun, campy villain pirate aesthetic I love so much. So to see his iconic song covered by one of my favourite bands was absolutely mind-blowing, and now this just made it even better! The animation and character designs here are stunning, the style is so, so good, I'm living for all the character cameos (rip Bluster) and everything just had me smiling like a dork. I'm just overflowing with good emotions right now. This is like something I had in my head for ages but not the skill to make it - and you just went and made it. Flawless, absolutely flawless. Thanks so much for realizing a lil dream I had for so long and keep up the great work!
There's a lot of great references to the show in this, but my favourite attention to detail in this was including the three taps of Cranky's cane to open the coconut's container, at 1:52 (having it on beat with the music made it even better). It's those little things that go to show just how passionate this team are for the source material.
There's also the fun little detail of Klump being the only one of K. Rool's crew to have been spared at the very end, since I imagine Skurvy probably wouldn't want to hurt his little brother.
Watching this again after Return to Krocodile Isle just makes me want to hear DK, K Rool, and everyone else talk in the original voices from the show! Or possibly from whoever voices them in the DKC Movie... Pray that it becomes a reality!
1:51 Cranky for Smash! I’m speechless. A+ in every respect, it’s so heartening that the DK fanbase has artists as dedicated as you all keeping the series fresh and exciting for fans of all stripes.
It's been a long time since I last watched the original show. Now watching it again as an adult, I realize that I don't think my child brain ever appreciated what an absolute BANGER this song actually is.
@@gaborkiss1425 There was a show called Doney Kong Country with early 90s CG. There are a few DVDs and VHS circulating around you might be able to find.
After so many years, all this time, finally we all feel the Pirate's Scorn. Happy anniversary, Skurvy. Your great, great, great grandfather would be proud of you.
I'm weirdly glad to see that Skurvy didn't kill Klump at the end (I spotted him standing by the throne looking confused.) It's not Klump's fault his old boss was a jerk.
dude this is fucking excellent! I hope Nintendo notices how much love fans have for the Kremlings and brings them back some day, or works something out with Microsoft because the next DK game NEEDS K. Rool and the Kremlings
Thanks for all the comments everyone, I'm really glad you guys are enjoying it. If you like the music be sure to check out Alestorm's other work, including their album "Curse of the Crystal Coconut"! WEBSITE: alestorm.net/ Follow me on twitter for more animation: twitter.com/ArtOfAlexH
Daily crap, this is without a doubt one of the greatest things Donkey Kong has ever been graced with. The music is amazing, your art style just makes it looks like something out of a Disney movie, and everybody in this picture is exactly the way I expect them to, art style and otherwise. You sir, you win the gold. Nintendo may have never cared about DK's birthday, but Sir, we as fans are so GLAD to have you aboard.
@@jimmybobfred696 hell yeah! Also somehow voice to text thought I said daily crap, and not holy crap. And if I correct the spelling, the authors like gets deleted.
I would like to point out that Cranky Kong got a letter from Smash Bros. (as seen by the smash symbol on the letter seal) the Skurvy kicked in the door probably broke his back in the process.
This's where we born, where we raised, where we had fun, where we scared, where we become as one and there's nothing stopped us A phenomenal animation right there explaind everything, well done!
This is a masterpiece, I can't stop watching it... The animation, the style, the song, the focus on Skurvy and the little details (like having Klump up there with Skurvy at the end ;_; baby brotherrr) I adore every bit about this, thank you so much for putting in this effort and bringing it to life

“Analysis Mr. Spock?” Kirk asked.
“It appears to be a video with very impressive animation and music, captain.” Spock answered.
Fascinating.
YOOOOO
Please tell me you'll do a video about this?
It is outright offensive that this video has been out for a year and hasn't broken a million views yet
holy fuck this is amazing. thats all its just a holy fuck this is amazing keep up the great work
One of the finest pieces of DK fan media in recent years.
0:58
So how was that swim of yours?
@@superkid2815 I used Enguarde to swim back
I'm weirdly glad to see that Skurvy didn't kill Klump at the end (I spotted him standing by the throne looking confused.) It's not Klump's fault his old boss was a jerk.
Well, canonically in the show, they're brothers and were on good terms with each other.
@@tropicalbreeze1164 you watched that show to
dude this is fucking excellent! I hope Nintendo notices how much love fans have for the Kremlings and brings them back some day, or works something out with Microsoft because the next DK game NEEDS K. Rool and the Kremlings
The animation is beautiful
Awesome!!
We need more cartoons that look like this. You can tell they had nothing but passion put behind it.
This is way too polished and high quality to be a fan project
1:45 RIP Diddy and Dixie lol
THIS. IS. AMAZING!!!!!
Thanks for all the comments everyone, I'm really glad you guys are enjoying it. If you like the music be sure to check out Alestorm's other work, including their album "Curse of the Crystal Coconut"! WEBSITE: alestorm.net/

The fact that this doesn’t have any replies yet 💀
this is like Treasure Planet quality of animation, utterly amazing to see this
The best sea shanty I have ever heard! 😂
Daily crap, this is without a doubt one of the greatest things Donkey Kong has ever been graced with. The music is amazing, your art style just makes it looks like something out of a Disney movie, and everybody in this picture is exactly the way I expect them to, art style and otherwise. You sir, you win the gold.
Nintendo may have never cared about DK's birthday, but Sir, we as fans are so GLAD to have you aboard.
I'd argue it looks more like Don Bluth's animation style but it is GORGEOUS either way!!
@@jimmybobfred696 hell yeah!
Also somehow voice to text thought I said daily crap, and not holy crap. And if I correct the spelling, the authors like gets deleted.
Dang this is a high quality animation. I'd watch a reboot of the show if it looked like this
I would like to point out that Cranky Kong got a letter from Smash Bros. (as seen by the smash symbol on the letter seal) the Skurvy kicked in the door probably broke his back in the process.
Perfect for a new Donkey Kong country Broadway musical
This's where we born, where we raised, where we had fun, where we scared, where we become as one and there's nothing stopped us
A phenomenal animation right there explaind everything, well done!
This is hands down the best cover of "Pirate's Scorn" ever brought to life! Nicely Done!! :D
At times I can't tell if it's 3d emulating 2d really well, or if its the other way around. Remarkably done!
Why doesn’t this have 50 million views?
Scurvy is a lot more intimidating with a crew larger than 2.
And those two guys are still around lol
A great detail that I only just noticed was that he tapped Cranky's stick exactly three times to open the box.
I think it’s cool that scurvy using Diddy Kong’s guitar from DK 64
If this is what a future Donkey Kong cartoon would look like I will definitely watch it.
Same!
This is a masterpiece, I can't stop watching it... The animation, the style, the song, the focus on Skurvy and the little details (like having Klump up there with Skurvy at the end ;_; baby brotherrr) I adore every bit about this, thank you so much for putting in this effort and bringing it to life
Could have done without DK and K. Rool being done dirty at the end, but otherwise 100% agreed!
