This aint a meme anymore , this is a whole straight out a music video

Fun fact: Every frame in this animation is wallpaper-friendly

I love how you can see the surprise on Tipu's face when he raised the glass to his followers about a minute or so in as they rushed towards him to get it, followed by slow recognition that these are the people who had murdered him, before the quick switch to rage before breaking the glass for them to indulge in their own greed. Going on taking a seat watching as it overcomes them not with joy but a neutral expression while clearly angry with them for what they did.

Here’s my understanding : Tipu was originally a tiger spirit protecting his land, and human hunters killed him, however they only killed his tiger form and actually just “freed” him in a way so he could achieve his true strength as a god. I believe the skinned tiger we see is tipu’s past body. Now, as a “human” he is worshipped due to his ability to create flowers that can turn into gold/money. This is why his followers crave the drink (tipu’s blood), because it can bloom said flowers that will bring them wealth.

There's already one dislike. _Someone_ has their notification on.

Cloviloop: Tipu is a vengeful spirit turned into a god. My brain: Hello, would you like to take a moment to talk about our lord and savior flower kitty?

I JUST REALIZED the flowers that the members of the religion who worshipped Tipu coughed up might be a reference to a myth called Hanahaki disease, where someone coughs up flowers when romantic love is not returned from someone they love. Tipu didnt love them back...

Tipu's tail is split in two, reminds me of the nekomata, a japanese mythical creature. When a cat lives a very long life and dies of old age they get second tail which allows them to walk in two feet, they develop magic powers shorty after; they're supposedly very wise and their meows sound like human speech.

When you realize the tiger skin hanging behind Tipu is probably him when he was still a tiger.

Tipu looks like the god of madness. The drink in his hand when he toasted was probably insanity distilled, which is actually quite appealing. The followers who slaughtered him didn't know what they did, and worshipped him in the form of a child wearing tigerskin. When the child made a toast, the followers caught sight of the insanity and desired it more than anything else. This was Tipu's trick all along. He crushed the wine glass and the followers went mad for the drink. There were flowers blooming out of the drink, other godly statues, and out of the followers, showing Tipu's power over them. The followers turned into flowers themselves when they touched the insanity. The incense stick is used for ceremonial reasons, and Tipu is constantly seen with one, representing his divinity. In the last scene, he is shown lounging on flowers. This is his revenge against the followers. Dead, but not quite dead enough to not feel pain.

One thing I love about this animation is the storytelling within tiny details. When Tipu's followers turn on him and are overcome with greed, Tipu isn't surprised. He's disappointed and angry but not surprised and the face he makes at 1:26 solidifies this. He was expecting this, he was preparing for this. He was setting them up. I've watched this animation so many times. It's so pretty and I could watch it so many times in a row without getting tired of it. Doesn't help that I love tigers and big cats so much (and just cats in general).

I swear more animation memes need to be more like this Not just looping characters head bopping to the music with the occassional frame of something other than that Like- everything from the animation, colors, and story are just so well done here

I cannot tell you how refreshing it is to have a character with reason and legitimacy for their god-like powers. I love this.

i think the hunters worshiped tipu as some sort of god of the hunt or the land, the tiger (his old form) hung up in the temple as some sort of unintentionally ironic offer. the reaction to the incense? stick at 0:40 feels like it represents tipu surprised at his new status as a god, but not upset flowers represent nature, and how it grows ever everything is like nature reclaiming abandoned places the scene at 1:00 ( i love that part btw) shows how man takes nature and exploits it for money, the stamp on the pile of coins sending a message of "mine" the black drink could be oil, the flashing of yellow simply a way to convey power and riches. the people go mad- it's so valuable! at this moment, their masks come off, their true selves revealed. they worship tipu hoping he will grant them power and wealth, despite the fact they killed him. they will "worship" the ground too by tearing it apart in search of more oil. tipu, enraged shatters the glass and the people rush towards the spill. but tipu doesn't have to bring out claws or teeth to exact vengeance. the flowers come out, taking over as the people are torn apart from their own obsessions. then it snaps back to a bored looking god with his incense. was the prior event just a daydream, or the future? i really love this animation, the unique color palettes, designs, and everything were so perfect!!! the simplicity of some stuff yet intricacy took my breath away

If you look at 0:54 , when Tipu's original body died, they had what looks like a collar on them. Were they a pet? Tracked by animal specialist killed by game hunters? Any theories guys? Him being a pet would explain the strange power and why he was used to being cared for by humans.

Daily reminder: You're not useless. You're not a dissapointment. You're not dumb. You're not different. You're not compared to anyone. Because... You're loved. You're strong. You're smart. You're beautiful inside and out. You're the best version of YOU there ever is. and you're human. I know you're going through a lot of stuff right now but it'll be okay. This life is a long journey. In a journey, there are ups and downs. If you ever go down, it doesn't mean you can't go back up. Rest easy and give yourself a treat :) I love you very very much and I just want you to know that.And when you go back up, you have that space in your heart that can help others back up, as well

finally a wonderland meme that isnt just looped running, underrated

man those transitions took me out for a dinner, a home to stay for the night, and kissed me goodnight while softly telling tales about Tipu

idk how to word this properly but this animation seems like it was actually based off the story of a mythical god, like; the flowers(something that symbolises the god), the tails(a powerful element of the god), the appearance, the tiger, everything is just. yes. this feels like smth i'd come across while reading greek mythology/pos

this is such a great animation, the amount of effort put into it is just.. *chefs kiss* it really portrays the whole "what goes around comes back around to you" and "nature gets revenge" themes really well + the art is just fantastic

Nuh uh you’re not fooling me with the title “meme” this is a straight up music video that incorporates the music into a well thought-out cohesive animated story.. get outta here with that “meme” label.

Tipu: is a dangerous forest spirit who can kill you with one whip of his giant tail The entire fanbase: *aw a kitty*

The flowers they are fighting for are opium poppies. You see several references to opium related things such as the MC smoking opium through an opium pipe, the people worshipping the tiger because he had the opium, and everyone fighting to make money off and to consume the opium. So my theory is that the MC was a tiger slaughtered by opium dealers bc the MC lived in the area where the flowers grew. The MC then came back as a forest spirit, and went to get revenge against the opium dealers and addict who killed them by getting control of the opium and destroying it.

3 Years later and its still good as ever

I DON’T KNOW IF I SHOULD WORSHIP TIPU OR YOUR ANIMATION SKILLS ?!!?!

This doesn’t deserve to be called meme This deserves more

Bro i watch this so much its the first thing on my recommended everyday

I watched this when I was younger and I loved it. I still do

This is a real good meme we have here, a LOOOOOT of wonderland memes after the "introduction" are always a loop scene, nothing more

oh, i LOVE THIS- the character design and how it look so good in your style, the animation, that small bit of tweening and colors be like mMMmMMM

i constantly come back to this video and i will always say this is the best animation meme i’ve ever seen in my life! This would be such a cool movie or show! The art style and ideas are so so so unique and beautiful to look at! I wish everyone could see this because you are so talented!!! AA!

I love this, and a little tun fact! One of my favourite animals is a tiger!! This was incrediable I will say!

To me the whole scene represents people's greed over turning nature into profit. They do see nature as beautiful and therefore worship it but what they find beautiful about it is how they can exploit it. The spirit is just the manifestation of a living spritual being who still counts as part of nature and is connected to it and all its goods. And the humans just chose to worship him, giving him things and building him an altar or temple. In which they ironically gave him his own real skin and have it hanging up. Or maybe they just killed it and kept it in that place so that's why he has to stay there. The thing while the humans may do as if they were worshipping him when it came down to it they were stripping him of his freedom and rights and life. That's also why he looks at them in such a defying but tired and knowing way at some point. It's not like he has the power to do anything about it or will, cause nature just lives and let's live. At some point he turns a flower into money and then walks on it, and we can see just how much money there is there, for each coin one flower that has vanished. And he knows about their greedy insatiable nature. But what is there he can do about it? The moment he shows the glass with the black substance (which for me could represent petroleum which is such a sought-after resource people search every bit of land for and exploit to the absolute maximum I can't even tell you how much of it we use daily cause it's just scary) all of their masks fall while they try to reach for it, absolutely mad with greed. To me all the flower tears that come out of them represent all the fallen parts in nature they consumed, like I dunno the ghost of them or their corpes. They leave a trail of death I guess. This could be interpreted in another way but that's just how I see it. And when the nature spirit throws down the cup they scramble to the ground in greed, just to get every last bit of it left. I don't exactly know what the end where he is in a white place surrounded by nature if I remember well means. I just know that it was probably a resolution to all of this. Either when everyone dies or something like that or when other humans stop it. Maybe it's just a tiny safe haven untouched by humans which it returns to, to feel safe for at least a moment. To me it feels like the spirit would be omnipresent since it represents nature and therefore exists where nature does, it was simply mostly trapped by humans. And therefore couldn't really excape the temple or them. Or maybe now that I think about it the white place could be where he cries for his fallen comrades death in silence. That's all just my interpretation, some I'm pretty sure about other things I ain't. I admit some things I saw because of other comments but others just came to my mind. Also I adore your work girl. It's such a stunning animation with such a incredible plot that actually matters and reflects our real world, but which perfectly could stand as it's own too thank you for this 2:07 Seconds of absolute beautiful art.

The colour palette, aesthetic is literally ON POINT dude I wanna cry this is too good

Holly crap this is intense! It’s so powerful and beautifully done everything is so smooth and the coloring is so vibrant! I just can’t even! I love this

I can't tell you how many times I've watched this as a reference to smoothly animate on my channel... The amount of genuine power and calm that Tipu has blows me away every time, as well as the literal smoother than a slip'n'slide at Olive Garden animation and GODLY color palate. Why do you not have millions of followers??? *hyperventilates with gusto*

I LOVE THIS THE DESIGNS, THE PERSPECTIVES, LITTERALY JUST THE WHOLE STYLE AND CREATIVITY IN THIS AAA IMPROVEMENT!!

I like how Tipu is translated as "lie" in malay. Maybe it's just me, but I find that little detail really interesting, as added to the whole story unfolding in the animation. All of it is so lovely, it's like looking at a personafied version of corruption.

I keep coming back to see this. Interesting story, amazing characters, fluid animation. Just amazing.

i love this animation so much, i've watched it a thousand times, and i gotta say, the story here is so enthralling, and the art and animation style just adds to it's beauty. A tiger deity wonders the forest, and unbeknowst to the hunters, they have just killed their god, skinned him, and made him decoration for the gods chruch. the god knows they killed him, knows that is his skin. he sees the irony long before the worshippers do, seeing as how they lunged for the wine anyways. they skinned the tiger, and expected the skinned tiger to still want them around.

This is the best meme I have ever seen! Reasons: 1- Tells a story 2- Every frame is different 3- It’s so pleasing to watch Good job! Can’t wait for another work of art!

Breathtaking as usual!

This stylization is insane

Your designs and characters are so nice to look at! You can really how much effort you put into this, nice work^^

....why do I feel like this would be a great anime- Edit: woah I just looked at this again and it got a bunch of likes ty-

Flowers equal money. They are worshipping the tiger for the blood which is the black liquid that turns into the flowers. Beautiful imagery great message about humans greed and them literally choking on it.

this has to be one of the most creative and aesthetic animations ive ever seen! so pretty!

first watched this almost two years ago and it still remains one of the best wonderland memes out there.

I just love how oblivious/innocent Tipu looks half the time but you can still tell he's The Boss

tipu: being an all powerful tiger god letting mortals be consumed by their greed me: *kitty*

I can’t find the words to describe this animation. I could say it’s a work of art I could call it a masterpiece I could say that everything behind this animation is so thought through it’s refreshing But none of those phrases captures just how breathtaking this animation really is.

The feeling I got from was a godlike creature protecting power that could destroy the world. Then he decided to host a ceremony to his people and folks. He held up the cup of power to explain then he saw how everyone wanted power and how greedy people were he got disgusted and destroyed the cup. I don’t think you guys understand how much I love this animation!!!

The worshipper crying a flower tear was SO visually striking, LOVE IT

All right, I know the storyline has already been explained, but here are my two cents on the lore and its deeper connotations: As someone already explained below, Tipu is Malay for "lie" (rough translation). That combined with the tiger got me thinking and I remembered the concept of amok. Obviously, running amok means going wild and being out of control, especially violently. In Malaysian culture people used to believe that this state of "amok" was caused by an evil tiger spirit possessing them, making them fly into a frenzy and attack everything and everyone as well as themselves. I'm not trying to say this story means something that wasn't already explained, but I do find it interesting... As we see through flashbacks, Tipu was brutally killed by the hunters. They ran amok in their desire to end his life as shown by all the blood and gore. When Tipu gets his revenge, he makes them run amok again - amongst themselves, destroying each other in their frenzy for the drink they so desired. What does this all mean in the bigger picture? I don't know. It's four in the morning. But I hope you find my rambling informational and that you have a good day :) edit: when I'm not too lazy I'll add on some more stuff for you guys ily

Hard to be emotionless when you have someone you care deeply about.

No way! I found this years ago ,in my animation meme phase, and I never thought I'd find it again :D

This is not a animation meme, it's an amazing story told with art

(This is translated with the Google translator, I don't know if you understand me) I see your animations, they are beautiful, the color palette is quality and striking at the same time, everything is very fluid, they are beautiful nwn

I don't usually comment on videos, but htis animation was exeptionally remarable. The character designs, moothness, color palette, and storyline were so FREAKING COOL!!!! I'm a first time viewer and I'm blown away. Saved, liked, and subscribed dude!

This is absolutely stunning. I’ve rewatched this 10 times in a row

ZEM????? ZEMMM YOOO HOLY FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oml, i just absoloutly love they way you show my backstory/story. Its really really unique and the style is just perfect. That you for giving me motivation dude👊 I love you work💕💕

I love your style and OC’s They are both epic The songs fit perfectly and the animation is so smooth

i dont know why the "animation meme" label is so popular all i know is that this is too good to be called a meme when its really a masterpiece

You could make a religion out of this, just saying

this is so minimalistic yet so detailed, i dont know wether to praise the aesthetic or the animation itself, so i'm going to do both obviously tipu is a divine figure for the worshippers, but the pale and harsh warm colour palette really brought it all together. the song's video itself emphasized red and warmer colours as more expressive and dream-like, and tipu's presence practically melting these colours together gave off a strong sense of want and need from the worshippers.

i love the mythological aura of this tiger deity

everything is so smooth. your work is incredible!

I have been writing a story lately about this character I created who is a spirit. The story would include different religions, spirits, cults, questions about life, and such. I needed more inspiration. This animation with the song gave me a lot of inspiration to write. In other words, this is fucking awesome

I love how you used the original color palette and movement styles from the music video

ฮือออองานดีมากค่ะ เราขนลุกเลย TT

Omgg I can't stop rewatching it so amazing and original can't wait to see more!!

Beautiful!! I can tell a lot of hard work went into this :0!!!!

many old korean stories started with, “back when the tiger used to smoke...” pretty cool

I love how simple the characters are and I love the animation its so smooth 💗💗

This was fantastic!!! I loved how you kept the similar theme and style of the original music video, but you made it your own with your own style and story.

1:58 And this is the part when you realize that she/he is actually resting in the "blood" of those people :) ( if my english is bad, sorry, i actually speak spanish)

the god they killed was reborn, but did not forget. this was drop-dead gorgeous. from character motivation to design, this vibe is something i long to devour more of.

this brings back soo many memories

im in love with your artstyle

Literally one of my biggest artistic inspirations, the colors, shading, character design, concept, everything! It’s so beautiful and I can’t imagine myself coming close to this in terms of palette. I hope to someday achieve this

We stan amazing talent

I like how this has the same format and color scheme as the original song

Woah.. I've never seen better meme animation before! And trust me I've seen maaaaany. The art style is beautiful, there are many drawings, not just 3 or something. That's what meme animation should look like! Beautiful ♡

He really did say “rawr xd”

we all gotta admit that we watched it more than 1 time or am I the only one who is literally obsessed with this animation

WTF, DUDE!!! THIS IS A FOOOKING MASTERPIECE!!! Like, everything fits perfectly in your spot, the color pallet, your amazing trace\art style, the music and the history... MY GODESS!!! THIS is what I needed to watch before such a hard day =D thank you too much for being such an incredible artist, you are a model for anyone who wants to became so good, you have my respect, my like and my subscribe as an artist! UwU

I like how you didn't do what other people do with the meme!

I am Korean I saw the beautiful expression of your picture. I like these oriental paintings Especially the tiger was cool! 😚

0:16 "baby shark" IT GETS ME EVERYTIME!

Cool little detail, is that for almost the entire song Tipu’s blood is black, and when everyone is rushing towards it it flashes gold and black. showing contrast between Tipu just seeing it as blood and the followers seeing it as the monetary value. This is practically confirmed just before the flashing by the blood being reflected as pure gold in the eyes of the follower. Amazing attention to detail! 1:14 is the exact moment this reflection occurs at. It also happens at 1:23

this is so beautifully animated, and it pays homage to the original AMV too. well done

At 1:27 the disgust and anger in his eyes you can feel it, I'm in love with this meme.

this. this looks. this is genuinely so beautiful and so well tOLD IN ITS STORY WITHOUT EVEN HAVING TO BE OBVIOUS ABOUT IT. god I love your work if you ever make a patreon I'm definitely pledging. your work is so clean and crisp and your color palettes are just wonderful and tHESE DESIGNS. THE STYLE. ITS ALL SO GOOD

В который раз эта анимация вызывает у меня мурашки...

This is perfect for the year of the tiger. Happy Chinese lunar new year!

Why everyone calling em memes? This is straight art man

I literally haven't seen anything like this before. It's so refreshing, when watching this it feels like diving into another world for 2 minutes, it's honestly super amazing and so well done!! This video just leaves me wanting to know more about this character and the whole backstory, it's absolutely amazing!! Definetly gonna sub :'D

this animation is literally so well done what??? i don't care if its like 2 years old, its so awesome also the whole plot of this story is just amazing??? your literally so creative, keep up the good work

This is so amazing! All you animations inspire me. :)
