omg this was SO GOOD! When I was 12 years old I messaged sWooZie on Facebook with an animation I made and asked for his thoughts, having been incredibly inspired by him as a creator. I never expected it, but he not only responded, he encouraged me too saying if he could make something like that when he was 12 - who knows where he'd be now. That message stuck with me for a long time (I'm 24 now). To be encouraged by my favourite CZcamsr meant the world to me and hearing in this video that he didn't get as much encouragement as he needed is a sign that he wanted to do for others what wasn't done enough for him. Adande absolutely deserves his flowers and I'm very appreciative that CZcams put this together - it honours not just him, but all the people who have been deeply touched by his work over the years. Thank you ❤
it's touching to hear how that message has still stuck with you, and look where you are now!
SWooZie will forever be an inspiring legend and he’s so humble to boot.
Joining CZcams is hands down one of the best decisions I've made in my life! Zero regrets. I've made connections with subscribers, Google/CZcams staff and creators in the community that I look up to. If you're on the fence about creating, consider what I would've missed out on if I never started posting videos and the same could be applied to you. Every community is here and brewing with opportunity and like I mentioned in this (AMAZING) doc, your creativity is your only limitation! Just do it!
I love u swoozie
i’ve been watching you for 12 years! love your content ❤ thank you for being you!
17 years and bro made it. Congrats Swoozie! Bask in that struggle to get here.
We love ya, Swoozie. Glad you’re getting your 💐❤️.
We love ya, Swoozie. Glad you’re getting your 💐❤️.
sWooZie is the grand father, the blue print and agent zero all at once, it is so rewarding to see him get the recognition he deserves
couldn't have said it better myself!
Swoozie has been on the platform since the start, he is what being a CZcamsr should be!
I'm a grown ass man but watching this made me shed a tear. Seeing swoozie succeed is such a good feeling, this man taught me so much when I was younger. I see swoozie as that distant brother that is always there no matter what. Living my best life with this man's wisdom and knowledge guiding me every step of the way.
Going into my nursing program and gonna be saving lives and you can thank swoozie for guiding me through the years. CONGRATULATIONS KING🌹
Man, this guy was my hero, literally dragged me through college. His content was all the smiles I needed to keep pushing through so for me, he's a legend. Always got time for Swoozie.
it's great to hear that you pushed through, i always have time for Swoozie too!
This was GREAT. I've been a big fan of Swoozie for YEARS. He deserves all of his flowers. I've seen him stand for hours meeting fans at VidCon when he didn't even have an official meet & greet. He's loyal to all his fans and friends and most importantly, he's made a huge impact on this platform. He's always been a "CZcams Hero" of mine and I wish him continued success. This video is exactly what I needed to see today.
I SAW HIM DO THAT, TOO!
love to hear how he cares about the community!
Swoozie has earned the title: Animation King ✊🏾
I wasn’t expecting to see Swoozie getting his flowers. I love this
He deserves all the flowers! 😊
My fav is here! Love u boo! Thanks for checking out the doc!
one of the 🐐 creators for sure
As a Trinidadian-American and a gamer, I love swoozie and have been following him for so many years. He's been inspiring and a great role model. Big up Swoozie ☺️🖤🌸
I hope these future generations of West Indian parents are more encouraging and supporting of their children.
This really showed a deeper and different side of Swoozie he deserves everything he has earned !
im glad you liked the look at the man behind the drawings!
Seeing Swoozie cry just broke my heart. I just want to come through the screen and give him the BIGGEST hug and let him know, “Everything is going to be alright. Everything is in God’s planning and you’re going to be SOOO blessed!”
You, Swoozie, ARE the reason animated storytelling exists on CZcams. You were the 1st person I saw on CZcams and watched religiously; “Kiss and Tell”, “2 Girls, 1 Ice” (the OG video), “Kissing a CZcamsr” (the OG video), “My First Kiss” (the OG video w/ Futurama playing in the background). You were placed here at the right place at the right time. You paved the way for SO many others, so they had a chance to show what they can do. To show that animated storytelling is an art form and therapy at the same time. God had His plans for you, Swoozie 😊 He knew exactly what you wanted and blessed you tenfold! You work SO hard and all of this is nothing but blessings! Know your worth 🙏🏽 and take the time to care for yourself; mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually 💙
Forever a homey of The Swoozie ✊🏽
This guy deserves more credit than the most popular subbed animation storytime channels because he's the original inventor of a whole entire genre on CZcams. He comforted and influenced a whole generation.
Swoozie is my CHILDHOOD!! He definitely deserves all the credit for the amazing videos he makes.
gotta give credit where credit is due!
i remember watching my first swoozie video and being like, i’m gonna do that one day. big inspiration. GOAT 🐐🐐
What a story. Truly, Swoozie is an inspiration to us all.
Been watching Swoozie for over 10 years now! His content has never fell off in quality. Truly a GOAT of youtube.
Swoozie is one of the goats of CZcams. Bro was a pioneer in CZcams animation and deserves all the respect in the world.
this man was a huge impact on my life seeing him cry hits deep, bro made my days better growing up
The first guy to create yt animation
Didn't expect to watch this whole video but the storytelling was truly captivating. Kudos to the series creators and for sWooZie for all they've done! As a fellow Trini it's great to see you killing it and inspiring a generation
Swoozie inspired me to start doing animation on CZcams ❤
Ahhh I love this! I've swatched Swoozie since the beginning and one of the coolest parts of my childhood was growing up with these animations. When all my cousins were together we would sit around and watch swoozie videos and laugh our butts off. Then I grew up and became a teacher and I would play the cheating series for my students when teaching them about my classroom expectations. We would all laugh but learn so much and create core memories in the process. Swoozie deserves every single one of his flowers. Awesome drawings, awesome storytelling, awesome guy!
this story is so wholesome, love that swoozie helped create so many core memories for you 🥹
This man deserves all the love and respect and support. He’s truly inspiring ✨✨ it’s so cool to watch him come so far and it’s only onwards and upward from here ✨✨
This documentary is actually helping out a lot cus I’m currently making a school presentation about swoozie
thank you for being there for myself, my family, and everyone in the community all these years. 🙏🏽
One of the coolest and most genuine humans I've met. Celeb or not, he deserved his flowers, much respect 🤙
swoozies is the reason why I work at Disney Land. he's really the GOAT of yt animations and on mount rushmore for best CZcamsrs all time and one of the only ogs of yt that still constantly upload today
He’s an icon, he’s a legend, and he is the moment.
Been a Fan of his for the longest time. He is absolutely amazing and talented.
Loved this video, very inspirational ❤
tysm for the kind words and encouragement!
Swoozie is definitely a pioneer in story time animation. Truly inspiring man.
I'm so proud of you doing videos like this keep it up with the good work my friends
From a “disappointment” to an inspiration. Love Swoozie! Addicted to his videos and I’m so glad to hear of the background story to such an amazing creator.
This is such a beautiful tribute. Well done, CZcams
yooooooooo I didn’t even realize that Swoozie was that big of deal. I just really love his channel. Dang!!! This is amazing. Thanks for highlighting him CZcams
As a black animation content creator swoozie was a major inspiration. This documentary really takes me back to when he first was able to give me that spark of motivation and inspiration to start animating.
This was amazing. I’ve watched Swoozie since I was a kid and still look out for new vids at 22! We’re all proud of you Adande!
Swoozie deserves this soo much. He doesn’t just represent animators. He represents black men who want to accomplish so much in this world. Black men who want to make their parents proud. I started watching Swoozie at 15. Im 25 now so his hard work paid off. I cried watching this because I feel so connected to his story. It inspires me and others to grind and do that they dream of in this life. Anything’s possible.
For like 12 years now, without question, he’s been my favorite CZcamsr
I was watching swoozie growing up. Glad to see bro and hear his voice again 😢
All I can say is Thank you Swoozie. And I'm so proud of you
I've been a fan of Swoozie since I was 12 and he's a big reason why I started youtube myself. Swoozie will forever be the greatest youtuber of all time
🇹🇹❤🇹🇹 Congratulations!!! I'm so proud of you!!!
So glad to see him get his flowers
Been watching him for so long
I needed that inspiration.. Thank you
Swoozie came into my life on CZcams when I was feeling lost and at my lowest and he inspired me to pick myself up and turn my negatives into positives. Swoozie's videos have gotten me so far from where I was, and it's what lead me into my career I have now. Thank you Swoozie for inspiring me to be better.
I’ve been a fan for this man for so long I was able to quote some of his story lol 😭
13:15 All those channels eventually brought me to swoozie so that's correct. I didn't know at the time he popularized this kind of channel. I started with Domics and TheOdd1sOut or so and then CZcams was recommending all these other similar channels and I eventually got to swoozie.
This is absolutely amazing, been watching his videos for so long and still always waiting for his new videos to drop
An *Orlando LEGEND* much love the OG Swoozie 🫡💐
Watching this made very emotional as well as inspired. I have been a huge fan of swoozie since I was middle school, going home everyday after school to watch his videos. Now I am college senior, still watching his videos til this day. I am so glad he is finally getting his flowers. It has been long over due. He deserves the world and so much more 🫶🏾
This took me back to those early days of CZcams of me tuning in to watch the next Swoozie story lol. So proud to see him celebrated and validated for his contribution🙏🏿❤️
We need this guy animating MOVIES. God has so many blessings for this man's life 🙏
No tea no shade but swoozie is one of my favorite CZcamsrs on the platform
What a legend✨
Can't believe I've been following Swoozie for a dozen years now! So deserving of his success
Wow, I am impressed. You are the man, the benchmark! Well done and keep pressing forward!
Wow, I'm tearing up 🥺
Love it youtube ! Keep ur app going ❤
Definitely deserves his flowers genuinely wouldn’t be where I am without watching his videos when I was 13,14 years old all the way until now. Sometimes the community feels distant but he’s right it’s never a competition and always just being in love with what we make. My goat🫡 congratulations on your success I hope to start being as impactful in peoples lives as you were in mine 😤
@Swoozie thank you. Really. As a trini American man. Thank you. I am a gamer. And you are one of my inspirations. I started recording with friends and hit a tough time in life. Thank you for this documentary. I can see this takes work. Never give up. I appreciate you brother. More life to you and much success.
Super
Honestly loved this 🥺❤️ I’m so happy he’s getting that recognition that he deserves 😭✊🏽 Thank you for being an inspiration to many! We love you immensely!
Wow the real story ❤❤ I love CZcams ❤❤
This man single handedly shaped who I was in highschool. After stumbling upon and watching the "My first kiss" video, I fell down the rabbit. Consumed every video and wanted to emulate a life like his. One full of excitement and charisma. When I saw that they were giving you your flowers, all of those late nights of binging your videos came flooding back. I can't say it enough, thank you for being an early role model, and representing black kids who are into all aspects of art. I made music, drew art, and even starting bboying in school because of Mr. Thorne. Congrats again and please keep trucking on this ride until the wheels fall off!
Been watching swoozie for over 10 years, love hearing his story 💙
Nah he deserves the credit fr bruh. I’m ngl Idk how long I been subbed but I can’t believe that I’m jus now finding out he made the animations himself💀💀💀
Swoozie is amazing! I’m so happy to have been following him for so many years, every time a new video of his pops up I get so happy!
Yessss!!! I’m so with this!!! My dude!!! Well deserved flowers! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Swoozie deserves all his flowers!
❤❤❤❤❤I love CZcams
Yo Swoozie was a pioneer in the e-gaming community! I remember messaging him on Myspace years ago, and he actually responded. One of the highlights of my youth. I don't usually comment on videos but it was such a pleasure to see this dude in the spotlight again after so many years. I'm happy he's found his niche. He'll always be the gamer bro who got into a race with a police officer to me.
I am literally holding back so many tears at work i love this man
No one is like you! Thank you for the inspirstion!
Swoozie has always been relatable. I found his channel while I was in middle school and seeing him get his flowers is so important. I thank God for him and his impact
I hope you do great Swoozie and I hope everyone who see’s this also does great in life
Seeing one of the most positive influences I had on CZcams cry really hit me. I’m so proud of your endurance. These videos brought me so much joy coming home from a long day growing up.
THIS PUT ME INTO TEARS SWOOZIE YOUR AMAZING AND LIKE FR SO INSPIRING KREP GOING BRO YOUR AMAZING ❤
Love this!! So well done.
Love this!!! S/O to the living legend, sWooZie!!
🔥🔥🔥
💐💐💐
Years of watching swoozie…ive never seen him so emotional…. Thank you for everything you do for us @swoozie❤️
My bro introduced me to Swoozie when we were teens/preteens.... I'm 30 now. This dude is a legend
Beautiful documentary! Happy that Swoozie got to become very successful!
thank you for stories like these. so many of us require some kind of inspiration or reaffirmation to walk by faith.
Always follow your passion. Dreams do come true.
wow so that made me so emotional i cried. i am so proud of you swoozie. as someone who watched you from when i was 10 to now where im 19 years old i couldn't help but be brought to tears by your story swoozie. you brought so much laughter to my childhood and still do in my late teens. i am grateful to have known your existence man. keep on doing you!
The legend who continues to inspire and put smiles when I need it. Thanks for everything Swoozie!
Amazing story! This guy is inspiring me to continue my CZcams journey!
When this first came out, I kept putting off watching it. But in a time where I’ve become an adult and could no longer relate to the old Swoozie videos. Hearing about the real personal parts, it kinda blew the expectations of what I anticipated hearing. I think I needed to hear the part about your dad and the background of the story tonight. So I’m glad I held off on watching, it was meant to be. I feel re-invigorated to continue.
It’s been an honor being a follower since 2010
Thanks youtube team🎉❤❤
This was moving, seeing the years of hard work put into words makes me so happy to see how far swoozie has come from just a guy id watch when i was a kid. He was someone who paved the road for the modern era of art and animation we have today
Remember watching you at 12 sWooZie, you inspired me so much and showed me it’s cool to be yourself.
Damn Swoozie been on here for almost 20 years and still look goood as shit! Boy is forever young.
That's crazy I didn't know that Swoozie was the first person to do CZcams Animation. But then again it makes sense. I remember when CZcams was new and Swoozie was one of the first channels I subscribed too. Such as amazing journey. Thank you Swoozie for sharing all your stories and inspiring others. 💜👏
Beautiful and inspiring story. I'm so happy I got to watch his stories in early CZcams. It made me not feel alone to be an "atypical" Black nerd in the era when every Black person was expected to look and act a way. And even during a video dedicated to him, he shares the love with the community. I'm proud to be a fan
a true pioneer. thank you for paving the way my friend.
Swiozie is hands down my favorite CZcamsr, he’s chill he’s inspiring, he inspires me to try as hard as I can with everything I do.
