Anna was such a HUGE reason of the path I took, making doll stop motions, and ultimately getting a degree in film. So happy to see she’s been well and thank you for this interview Kris!!!
does anyone else remember anna saying her logo was made by the same dude that made the doritos logo? or did i make that up in my head
@@obviouslatinn Wait maybe it was the Tostitos logo? It was one of the two 😅😅
No I definitely remember that.
Settling in.. super excited to watch this!!!
AHHHHHH ANNA!!!! THIS IS SO SO SWEET! Ugh, this made me SOOO nostalgic thinking about the AGTUBE golden age.
I remember Things Go Bump In The Night and being like "how the heck did she get someone to write a script for her"
Good job with this video, Kris, you're such a good interviewer! Also, you talking about meeting Anna makes me reflect on meeting you and that makes me emo tooo ugh
This makes me so so happy; thanks for this iconic collaboration
Hiiiiiiii
I love ur stop motions
Anna is such a comforting presence. She grew up with us, simultaneously enriching our childhood experiences while undergoing her own. I’m so glad to be around to hear her speak candidly.
A TREMENDOUS THANK YOU to Anna for giving me this opportunity! Basilmentos will forever hold a spot in my heart! 10 year old Kris is still pinching himself knowing he gets to call someone he looked up to for so many years a friend ❤Make sure to check out her new stopmotion on her channel!
I remember watching her in elementary school and now I’m in college… gosh time flies! Basilmentos was a HUGE part of my childhood
SAME
same
I found basilmento's when I was about 8 or 9, and am now 20. This channel was my childhood and I'm glad to see so many people here who watched her channel during there too.
She inspired me to make my own stopmotion animations, and although I stopped making them years ago, I learned a lot of video editing and animation principles that also apply to 2d animation, that helps me to this day. Anna, if you ever read this, I want to say thank you. Thank you!!!
Oh my GOSH. ANNA I AM SCREAMING IN THE CAR ON THE WAY TO CINCINATTI RIGHT NOW. I CANT BELIEVE YOU MENTIONED ME AND THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT!! I’m over on this channel now but my aglova13 days are some of my fondest and I am so honored to have been able to work with Anna on our projects together. I couldn’t have picked a better creator to help bring my stories and dreams of creating full productions to life when I wasn’t able to.
Kris, Thank you for putting together such a wonderful video so we can finally get to know the face behind all our favorite videos! I hope to see more videos like this! 😊💕
I am so proud of Anna, after seeing her grow up alongside most of us, it’s so heartwarming knowing we have “all grown up” most of us are in college or recently graduated, and are moving onto our adult lives with still this love for creating things, and still keeping in mind the importance of childlike joy and creativity. So much love for her ❤
It’s so odd seeing the face behind all the videos and attached to the voice! The impact this woman had on my childhood >>>
We love you Anna!
The impact Anna had on my childhood is HUGE!! So happy to see she’s doing well and is proud of her work. So wild see this video.
Thank you for this interview, Kris!
This was an incredible video to watch, worth the wait. Very professional too! Thanks Anna for sharing her face and story, and Kris for facilitating such a wonderful interview.
What an amazing and in depth interview❤Anna is so eloquent and its so neat to hear from her point a view. I too was inspired to start AG tube by Stevenswododancer back in the day. Huge props to you too Kris for facilitating this and coming up with such incredible questions!
Anna was the first AGtuber I watched and the reason I started learning stop motion. Her videos always bring me fond memories of my childhood with my sister💚
Anna, you look like Scarlett Johansson! Haha. It’s so good to finally put a face to the name, although I understand the preference for anonymity. I always felt weird in front of the camera on my channel and didn’t do it often. I hope as you downsize your collection you keep your dolls - they are definitely worthy of being display dolls now that you are older. Maybe in ten years you’ll pull them out again for a stopmotion! Thank you for being such an asset to AGTube. You are a wonderful storyteller and set designer. I always enjoyed seeing your creativity come to life through Sarah, Felicity, Samantha, and the others. I’m not sure I can even pick a favorite video. Mermaid Cove definitely is up there, though! Thank you for agreeing to do this interview with Kris!
Anna is so inspiring! We’ve been watching her since we were little and she really gave us the confidence to make our channel nearly 9 years ago. Loved seeing this interview type video. Amazing to finally see her and happy she’s doing well 💕
I’ve loved Anna & her channel since I was in middle school!! She’s inspired me so much
Oh my goodness! Watching this interview felt like catching up with a childhood friend. Basilmentos was such a big part of my childhood, and so many others here on agtube! It's as if we all grew up together. Even scrolling through this comment section right now, there are so many familiar usernames! Hi!
I don’t think I would have gotten as into stop-motion and short-form storytelling without Anna's films, or honestly, be doing what I'm doing now without them. They were so imaginative, warm, and positive. Thank you, Anna. It was so nice to hear about basilmentos from your point of view, and hear that you are doing wonderful -- and working in a field you love!
P.S Kris, you wearing a Hannah Montana shirt as Anna revealed what she looked like after her “secret identity” for so long? Perfection. Thank you for this interview!
Oh….. my gosh. I watched her videos when I was younger. It’s wild being able to hear her voice and see her face at the same time! Anna is so cool!
What an amazing interview! I really enjoyed watching this video and it is amazing to finally see the face behind the most iconic AGSM videos on this platform!
crazy how this is the most important video on the internet ever! 😍 ok but 10 years ago i’d remember 8 year old me climbing up on a bunch of storage shelves, hiding and watching basilmentos for hours straight wishing to be able to make videos like that, it inspired me to imagine and create so many things for my dolls rather than just throwing them around. honestly a core memory (ps. i still have the love story parody entitled doll story memorized)
this was such an incredible watch, thank you both so much for this! i grew up watching basilmentos & she’s one of the main reasons i joined the community. i was able to discover stopmotions though her channel and everything that came from that changed my life so much. 💜💜
Idk if you'll see this comment or remember this but Anna sent me a doll friendship bracelet & a little card for my birthday like 11 years ago (my mom emailed her and told her my birthday was coming up and that I loved her videos). I still have the card somewhere and it's one of my strongest childhood memories.
I loved Anna's videos growing up and I found this while going through my favorite content growing up. I'm a college freshman now and it's bittersweet thinking about how much has changed. Me and my friends used to try and recreate her stop motions.
Anna’s videos were a huge part of my childhood! I’m so glad I got to see this interview. She’s truly such a positive light, now- just as she was in my childhood❤
Thank you so much for being a part of all of our childhoods. I loved watching your videos throughout the years and I wish you the best of luck with this new chapter of your life. ❤❤❤❤
This made me tear up! She had a huge impact on my childhood, and this was an extremely well done video and interview 💓
She’s literally so pretty, her vids have for sure shaped who we are as people in this community!
It was thanks to basilmentos that actually I got into agig. I really missed her I used to watch her videos religiously and just seeing her face is like a breath of fresh air and honestly it's basically like when Steve came back to do blue's clues in you I think the little girl inside of me was very happy
Anna, thank you for sharing your videos with us for all these years. You have made so many of our childhoods brighter! ♥️
God's, I remember watching Anna's work way back in my elementary and early middle school years, I'm 20 years old now and it's crazy how that time flew. It was a childhood friend of mine at the time that got me into her channel, and of course, we both were both obsessed with American Girl dolls! I still have both of mine along with 2 mini dolls, and they sit in Julie's car which is a RELIC and something I never plan to ever get rid of. Her work, among many others really inspired me to be as creative as I can be, shoot for the stars, and do whatever you want with your art, to have fun with it. It's really depressing how when CZcams kids happened it took away her and many others comments section away, because a comments section gives feedback, support, and most importantly: love of fans who are so inspired by your work, look up to you and want to see more of what you do, what you love that they the fans also love. I'm also glad she's keeping her channel up as a sort of time capsule.
If I had to watch one of her videos again for the first time, it would be Midsummer Magic. That video had little 11 year old me's eyes shinning staring at that video, drinking in the story. It's always been a huge comfort video of mine and I'll never, ever forget it. Thank you so much Anna (if you're looking through this comments section) for creating Basilmentos and being such a large part of our childhoods, inspiring us to create and love what we do, and telling us amazing stories with your dolls. Cheers to the future, may you prosper always. 💖
OMG! The day we’ve all been waiting for! I remember when i’d hear girls with similar voices as her and would think they were Basilmentos!
Wow she is so pretty❤️she’s such a talented, sweet person, I love her! I love Kris too❤Thank you for this, such a well made video❤️
omg basilmentos was my childhood!! i loved her videos so much, its so strange putting a face to someone who made me so happy as a kid & she's stunning!
That was wonderful! Kris, you are a talented interviewer. Beautiful job! I'm 51, so I didn't grow up watching Anna, but it was so interesting to learn all about her and her channel. I've heard of her channel for years now, and it's so wonderful to have a face to go with the name. Thank you for sharing this with all of us!
You guys!! This is stephenswodadancer (we are rebranding my old channel) and you both legit brought me to tears! 😭😭 I had no idea back then what I was doing or what type of impact I would have on so many people. I’m honored and so touched to be considered in the way that you guys do. I miss that time period of our lives SO MUCH! @basilmentos
HI! Ahhh im so happy you watched! Thank you for everything! You are such an icon
@@thedollstudiobykris aww yes that would be so fun!! If you want to pm me please do! I’m on insta, fb, and tiktok ❤️
AGTUBE was my home away from everything before I got my first AG doll. Basilmentos, agmagical13, stephenswodadancer, and so many other great collectors I was tuned in CONSTANTLY. I'm glad to know Anna is doing well. After this video, or maybe even the middle of it lol, I'm gonna watch her recent one!!
Such an amazing interview! Thank you, Anna, for sharing all this with us!
I just recently added a Felicity to my collection as an adult collector, and I've named her Felicity Anna in honor of Basilmentos and her Felicity. I adored her videos as a child, and they're part of the reason why I got into AG as a child
i remember finding anna in 2012 when i was 7 and now i’m almost 18… crazy how time flies
This is exactly how I thought she would look!! She’s beautiful and I will forever love her videos💜
Thank you. Wonderful insightful interview. 💝
This was so wonderful thank you for this amazing interview!! I loved hearing about all the AG throwbacks and the history of it all! OH the relatability of shoving the dolls in the closet when friends came over, that totally made me laugh because SAME 😂
I had one question I'm not sure was answered in her previous years on CZcams but, what does the username "Basilmentos" stand for and where did the inspiration for that name come from? :)
agpals i used to love watching your videos! also i believe she may have explained her username in the "draw my life" video. i could be wrong tho :)
I'm not crying, your crying 😭. This is bringing back so many memories
This is such a great interview! It brings back some many amazing memories. 😃
Omgggg I’m so happy to have found this video ❤I truly appreciate you basilmentos 😊 thanks to kris for this video!
It’s so cool how u did this interview. I love basilmentos videos so this is awesome .
Anna, you and I were briefly co-judges on AG Project Runway (like 2009 0r 2010). Or maybe you were the judge when I was a contestant, but that was like a peak tweenage moment for me. 😂 Seriously, though, I always enjoyed your videos and they bring back so many memories now.
Such an inspiration, so lucky we get to see you in real life !! Also you’re so pretty !
wowww been watching her my whole childhood this is insane !!! love u anna
her energy is magically good 🤍
I always thought the curly wig was her real hair... I still vividly remember the fivedollstars basilmentos collab with the rollerskating waitress! If Anna ever comes back to the PNW, I would love to work on a video with her
I was so excited at the recent stop motion . If u ever want to create more I’d def watch !!!
I’m 9 months late BUT OHHH MY GOD I SPENT MY CHILDHOOD WONDERING I STILL SING HER LITTLE THEME SONG🥲
The song is catchy , I at 20 still remember it and sing it
Anna is purely the reason why I am currently in college studying film and screenwriting, she is amazing
I grew up watching basilmentos ❤
watching this is making me miss my agtube days. Basilmentos was a huge part of my childhood s
Thank you sooooo much to both of you.
This was such an amazing video omg!
I love hearing people's favorite AGTube channels from back in the day. What are some people's favorites? I think the first one I ever watched was called agprincess013, then xkambreenkitx, girloftheyearstudios, basilmentos, and stevenswodadancer.
My childhood self is screaming!!!!
Oh my goodness it finally happened!! She was fr my childhood!!! And omg she mentioned Americangirl077 I wish Anna could tell us how she’s doing too😭
Loved this video
Anna literally raised me 😭😭
Amazing
my childhood 🥹
🎉
Gosh dang CZcams kids !!!!!! 😢
American girls dolls are 150 now lol
I feel like it would be boring if you vlog everyone vlogs and it's so boring 😐
It would be nice bc its anna herself vlogging and we never get to see much of her anymore
@@IanKirklandVlogs yeah but it's so boring maybe it would be better if she started a new channel
this made me emo 🥲🥲 she was such a huge influence for me as a kid & I loved watching her videos all the time & getting inspired to make my own. I made my sisters do our own live version of “cabin 4” ahaha. AGTube was so special & the community was so wholesome & special as well. what a special video. thank you for this!!!
I found basilmento's when I was about 8 or 9, and am now 20. This channel was my childhood and I'm glad to see so many people here who watched her channel during there too.
She inspired me to make my own stopmotion animations, and although I stopped making them years ago, I learned a lot of video editing and animation principles that also apply to 2d animation, that helps me to this day. Anna, if you ever read this, I want to say thank you. Thank you!!!
