When you dump all your points into dexterity and charisma

This is the definition of Lawful Good vs. Chaotic Good

Casually drops 2 of the best animations on yt and disappears to become a disney animator

it breaks my heart that this channel may not published any new animation’s in the future,but knowing that the creator of this piece of art is now doing even better animations in Disney makes me feel happy.

The detective knew she was the thief because she was more detailed than everyone else.

"Just because you are bad guy doesn't mean you are bad guy" -Zangief

It's crazy that the person who made this worked on the Fionna and Cake spinoff for adventure time that released last month. so cool!

This always comes around like a boomerang. Just gotta wait a couple years then it is back in my recommendations.

Anyone else notice how when they entered the casino the slot machine shows a diamond and 2 bombs? Really cool foreshadowing.

“Guys that diamond has a bomb in it” “Oh ok” *fin.*

I genuinely cant shut up about how incredible this animation is its been six years and I'm still harping on about it

I love how the bomb timer is video accurate. Such good attention to detail in this short! I love how the scenes have such fluidity and continuity between them. I would love to see a reanimated or a MAP of this someday!

Terrorist: alright the bomb has been planted Tia: yes but what if *_heelys_*

Can we talk about the girl who was singing still kept singing even after the alarm went off?

Luz Noceda steals diamond from monopoly man for snails

I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS 6 YEARS OLD :[ I love this animation so fricken much its so good.

Imagine losing to a kid with roller blades

Everyone talking about how she’s a girl but no one talking how she got the heelies

Despite being completely silent, this has some of the most fun and zany personalities of any piece of animation I've seen on UKposts in a long while. None of the facial expressions are overdone or exaggerated, but they still convey emotions perfectly. It maybe cuts a bit too frequently from scene to scene to the point it's hard to follow it, but that's honestly the fast-paced action of it all, so I can excuse that. Otherwise, basically perfect. We don't deserve pieces of animation this good for free, and yet here we are.

Perfection. Still watching till this day. I really hope the person that made this is rich by now.

Fun fact: the countdown on the bomb is actually accurate. It takes 42-43 seconds for the video to end

*When you’re a secret agent working for the government and the government needs you to act like a thief for security:*

after 5 long years, this never ever gets old

I need a Diamond Jack Disney movie

Everyone is talking about how The Thief is a girl but we haven’t even talked about how much of a BOP this song is

My brain: watch it one more time Me: why My brain: you gotta.

Nice to know the creator got a good reward out of this project, which undoubtedly took such painstaking time and care for. Motivation does get you far.

This animation gives Lupin vibes. And i absolutely love it! Also when the diamond is revealed to be a fake on the bridge, the time is the same as the time left on the animation, awesome!

No one is gonna even mention that Tia saved the whole place from a terrorist attack.

1:45 Girl if those heelies were engaged you'd have slid right into the abyss

I want this girls agility, patience, strength, sneak, observation, and intelligence.

2:34 the fact that the detective immediately opens the Diamond with a slight look of fear on his face leads me to believe he planted the fake Diamond, planning to blow everyone up.

Moral of the story? Always wear roller skates if you're planning a get-away.

"Not the villain I appear to be" actually saved everyone from blowing up

I love coming back here, it is such an amazing animation that feels like a classic, and I think it is ❤

WHAT NOSTALGIA TO SEE THIS WONDERFUL ANIMATION AGAIN 🥹🤧

Rachel: Gets into Disney as a animator *everyone liked that*

“Bomb has been defused; counter-terrorists win”

6 years later and I’m still back to this masterpiece. College hits but this is nice to see and listen to again

"TIAAAAAAAA! GET BACK HERE, TIAAAA!" "Seeya, Pops!" I fully approve of the Lupin the 3rd references

The singer is a Goddess for not running out of breath throughout the song

If this became an entire show I would not complain

It has been ages since I last saw this… I remember coming across this video when it was 36 minutes old… I was 13 at the time and fascinated with animation, this video is what pushed me to try and do artwork of my own. I sadly no longer do the art style from all those years ago, I rely on sketching when I can with breaks from life…. Maybe I should try and force some time from work. Do art during my lunch instead. I hope you are doing well. And thank you for inspiring me. (My apologies for the senseless ramble.)

Oh my god. This animation deeply affected me. When i saw it years ago i remember being so mesmerized me and my younger sisters would rewatch it time and timw again. The Villain I appear go be was my favorite song. I was so inspired! After this, anytime i would listen to a song i would imagine a little animated music video with it. Its been years, i don't think i can ever act on my imagination (i prefer fo draw semi realistic). But it still really inspired me. Seeing this again fills me with so much nostalgia and happiness

We need the sequel. *Emerald John.*

Me: Tia, are you a thief? Tia: well yes, but actually no

It took me until the millionth watch, six years later, to notice that the jackpot machine shows a Diamond followed by two bombs! An excellent piece of foreshadowing!

came back after 6 years the song is still so good

Detective just jealous he isn’t the only one with full white eyes

can we just acknowledge that this person saved a heist from hapening in heelies

Ive watched this about 4 times now and I'm just now noticing all the subtle hints as to what is actually going on before Jack gets to the bridge, not to mention to lyrics. I love that kind of visual story telling. makes me wish I came across this sooner.

Realize that when the animation starts, the sign to the building says “plaza” but when diamond jack is walking on the sign, it only says “paza”

Tia: steals diamond Monopoly man: f*ck

I cant stop rewatching this while thinking how badly I want this to be a show

This animation is a clear example of "no good deed goes unpunished"

I remember being obsessed with this

The great thing about this animation is that Tia is the perfect combination of “no thoughts head empty” and “I have 16 physics PhDs” also everything else is great too.

Everyone: “When will Disney make this an official short?” That one guy in the Disney pitch meetings: “Hey it’s been a few years since that Diamond Ja...” Everyone else at the meeting: N A H

we need a mini series of this made by netflix or somebody this is just amazing i have known about this for along time and its always a nice come back to go to when i feel stressed or just bored

pro tip: tell them its a bomb and show proof by opening the diamond

I love that utter look of “worth it” at the end

Tia: *Saves everyone from a bomb* Cops: *I diagnose you with T H I E F.*

Lyrics: Sometimes when I, Wanna run away and hide, When there's no one on my side, And all my pride has disappeared I take it off my mind, And leave it all behind, Nothin' left to do, But try to take the leap and follow through, And that's exactly what I'll do I know to you I don't seem very strong, But I assure you before you can find me I'm gone, So come on and catch me, you've still got a chance... But not for long, I'll be rollin' place to place, Won't stop till I win the race, Although I may have crossed the line, No time to waste on you I don't plan on slowing down, No, I'll keep on going, Even if you think I'm in the wrong, Just know that Although I may not think everything through, I don't take back what I say or regret what I do, I know that some stay in line and they stick to the plan, But if you leave it to me, I'll do whatever I can Cause I, Know that's what I'm here for, I don't wanna wait around anymore, Even if you can't see, The good inside me I don't have the time to tell you, Why I do the things that I do, Just please hold on, and soon you'll see, That I'm not the villian I appear to be Movin' along, no I won't settle down Until I'm locked behind bars or I'm kicked outta town So you can keep on a runnin' around and around But you will never quite catch up to me And I know you Think I'm crazy But I hope that maybe Now you'll see why I had to try

Fun fact the diamond is only valuable because they are artificially made more valuable because they are only let out a few 1000 at a time.

Me: Wants to sing along so I turn the subtitles on. Subtitles: *[ m u s i c ]*

I just noticed you can see the hinges on the "diamond" in the first scene! What a nice detail for people that spot it.

istg i come back to this every year

6 years have passed already and I think people would still love this video as I do

Fun fact: she is now an animator in Disney

Repost "Her actual name is Tia, if anyone wanted to know! The name "Diamond Jack" is there because she jacked a diamond."

This is pure magic

This animation is one of the first things that got me interested in/inspired me to become an animator. Thank you, Rachel Kim.

define chaotic good? Diamond Jack.

You are, _bad girl_ But you aren't _bad, girl_

Don’t you guys just love foreshadowing:) For those who don’t understand it’s because it shows a diamond than two bombs:)

Every year i come back to admire the beauty of this in every part the song the animation just all of it.

Plot twist, the detective guy was the one that planted the bomb and was trying to stop Tia from ruining his plans

Heeleys: *exist* Jack/Tia/Whatever : I’m gonna do what’s called a pro gamer move

Forgot how much I used to love this song and video. Nostalgia hits hard man.

can you imagine a universe where rachel was rejected to work ad disney and this became a full on indie series ?

Everyone:This animation is great! Me: THE DETECTIVE CAN TELEPORT

things the comment section taught me 1. this character isn’t named jack 2. she’s a girl

Imagine being a waiter and just be sick of life so you just steal a diamond with a bomb and save everyone but still get arrested

This is so nostalgic oh my goddds

diamond: *has hinge* (0:30) Tia: *pulls the whole cap off* (2:17)

Astro boy stole a diamond from the Monopoly man and inspector gadget had to chase him down

As this video came out I never really thought about it until I kept on rewinding and rewinding and 6 years later I'm still amazed at what kind of talent she has. Just remarkable.

I'm so happy they become a Disney animator! Hope you achieve all your dreams ♥️

2:38 Theifboi: "Yo I need a lift" Helicopter: "I got you fam"

How i felt as kid when I was doing parkour on the castle of the park:

It has been years, and I keep coming back.

I came back to this video after years and i got chills just watching it, the nostalgia is insane

Tia: "If we naruto heelies, we can move faster than their bullets"

Tia straight up just used her heelys to stop a terrorist attack. That’s what I call commitment.

All these years later. Still absolutely amazing. ❤

Ah what a classic even after years I still just woke up and decided I had to listen to this timeless masterpiece.

1:26 I love the foreshadowing

The diamond: has hinges Also the diamond: the top is twisted off

headcanon after rewatching this so many times and why it felt off it doesn't make sense the inspector figures out how to open the diamond instantly after retrieving it, so it's not likely that the inspector was chasing the thief just out of her thievery, but rather as a way to safely retrieve the bomb from the diamond, which would mean she was being chased out of concern for her and the public's safety first and foremost which is pretty cute, two mystery solvers aiming at the same goal coincidentally goes hard as a plotline
