Hellow everyone.
Last week, I thought, man, it’s over two years since I made the Monkey Island Flash Movie (http://www.majusarts.de/film/monkey/). Now that Monkey Island is coming back, my motivation to do another movie about my favorite game of all time has risen extremely! Therefor, I HAVE to do another one!

And here it is. This piece of funny-stuff was made in only one week, with the help of some awesome people:
There’s Martin, who did all the backgrounds in just one day, and he made them beautifully beautiful (visit more of his work on DeviantArt (http://daedalus2k.deviantart.com/)!).
Then Suro (http://www.ka-yu.de), old pal, he gave his voice to the very friendly captain. Watch him explode on a DoubleFine-Tribute-Movie by us here (http://www.doublefine.com/news.php/site/comments/hang_on._how_did_this_awesome_thing_happen/)!
And of course Andrei, aka Silverwolfpet (he’s in this forum too (http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/member.php?u=20757)!), who showed with his song »Monkey in my Pocket« that he is a funny guy with awesome voice-acting-skills (please check out his Music-Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sXsfSySaIE)!).

This movie is for all of you Monkey Island Fans, to kill some time, to boost up the anticipation, to LOL and ROFL, to debate if the events of the Flash-Movie are actually going to happen…

And, of course, it’s a tribute to Telltale, all these guys who are working very hard and full of passion, right now, on the new Monkey Island Episodes…man, I cannot thank you enough for all this!

TellTale, LucasArts, and of course, Ron Gilbert: Thank you for Monkey Island!

Enough talkie-stuff, let’s watch some funny new Monkey Island Movie!
Greeeetings,
Majus

[Irishmile]

Lol

[Bagge]

Brilliant!

[realchris]

Sehr gut. Wie immer. Die Hintergründe machen Fortschritte.

Telltale. Take this Guy to your Team.

[theKryz]

Great stuff AGAIN, Majus :D
Totally make more of this, k?

Grüße ausm Süden,
Chris

[Milania]

Wow! This is great, you give Awesome an new sense.
It's amazing what you could done in short times.
still laughing about "A game by telltale"

[Laserschwert]

Großartigst!!

[Katsuro]

Telltale. Take this Guy to your Team.

Absolutely signed :D

[Leak]

Brilliant. :D

Have you considered pursuing a job in viral marketing (http://www.youtube.com/user/viralmann)? ;)

np: Cotti - The Truth Hurts (Soul Jazz Records Singles 2008-2009 (Disc 2))

[KEBSD]

That was hilarious! Great job.

[SurplusGamer]

yeah :) You should do a speculation flash for every game in the series :)

[Tim]

Lmfao, that was indeed hilarious xD Great job!

[stemot]

Brilliant! I demand Telltale make this the solution to that puzzle. I don't care if you only have 2 days to do it. :p

[Ignatius]

Great!

[Mataku]

brilliant. is there a version of this (http://www.majusarts.de/film/flash/miuhf.html) translated? it looks hilarious.

[Edward VanHelgen]

better then Special Edition

[Toothless Gibbon]

I want a fan game in this style!

[hammy797]

Ahh, so awesome...

[Jake]

Oh man this is the best! Everyone who's in working over the weekend has been cracking up watching this.

[NickTTG]

man, that was great! and a bonus monkeyinmypocket dude! fantastic. and that environment in the game was one of the parts i worked on, so it's fun to see speculation on how to get on the boat.

[Mysterysheep]

HaHa! Brilliant!:D

[der_ketzer]

That Movie would be great on the DVD for the game.

[Secret Fawful]

^Yeah.

That was really great. I don't crack up at very many flash movies, but that one was great. :D

[Junaid]

hehe cool!
Being an animation student myself, it's fun to see this fan stuff being made. You can really see the amounts of fun that went into making this :)

[Everlast]

Wow. JUST WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This made me laugh alot. And let me tell Silver some of his youtube episode werent that funny. But this was awesome man! KEEP IT UP, cuzz u obviously have a talent. Same goes to the 3 people who did this!

[Abel]

This is AWESOME. I think even a way better than your flashfilm for SoMI. Very cool funny ideas. Telltale should link this on their site. Good advertisement :)

[kaffebaggel]

Fantastic! at last something new narwhal related to replace the narwhal-song from weebls-stuff from ringing in my head everytime i hear the name of this episode. It has for too long been the only narwhal reference i have

[jukeboxhero]

Awesome in every way.
"Guybrush overboard" was genius.

[MeisterGlanz]

Awesome viral advert. I hope Telltale will honor you for this.

"Guybrush overboard" was genius.

You would be surprised how often that happens. :D

[Hero1]

That is all kinds of awesome!

[Jake]

blog'd! (http://www.telltalegames.com/community/blogs/id-470)

[Majus]

Okay! All of you! Yeah, and you, you too!
Thank you very very much!
Thanks for the many nice words, it made my day totally, and it will make the following days as well, whee!

Gee, now it’s on the blog too… I’m slightly overexcited right now, whoo!

brilliant. is there a version of this (http://www.majusarts.de/film/flash/miuhf.html) translated? it looks hilarious.
Woah, this was a fun-project I did in just a weekend. If you wonder why everything is weird: The MI-Flash-Movie made it to the finals of a contest, and a few days before the end I almost got disqualified because of copyright infringement… So I made this NON-copyright-infridngement-version of the movie, to show them how ridiculous this copyright-debate was.
And, to answer your question: I’m a little preoccupied at the time, but when theres more demand for it, I’m going to translate it somehow :)

[prizna]

Would you consider making one of these for each episode?

[Cyphox]

Sehr schön, sehr schön!

Immer wieder eine Freude deine Videos zu gucken, du hast es echt drauf! :D

[plrichard]

Haha! Great job Majus! Keep them coming!

[Mike Haley]

I'm totally distracted... by this. Great job, and I concur about this being included on the season DVD.

[Ash735]

Great work, I also noticed you done a couple of Phoenix Wright ones, do you have a script of them, especially this one (http://www.majusarts.de/film/flash/phoenix_finalevidence.html) I watched it and laughed but I'd like to know what the hell is happening.

[Katsuro]

Great work, I also noticed you done a couple of Phoenix Wright ones, do you have a script of them, especially this one (http://www.majusarts.de/film/flash/phoenix_finalevidence.html) I watched it and laughed but I'd like to know what the hell is happening.

I think I can help out here.
Basicly its a most basic situation from any Phoenix Wright game.
The Judge is about to say (some random guy) is guilty, but (like in any good PW game) Phoenix manages to get into a situation where he can present one last final evidence (hence the title).
It isn't really ment to mock the games but those situations are SO often that you (as a player) don't take them as serious anymore as before. Thats basicly why we recorded this :D
Of course Majus did his animation-magic with this one as well, making it even more awesome.
Oh! Here (http://www.majusarts.de/film/flash/phoenix_finalevidenceOT.html) are the outakes.

[Ash735]

It isn't really ment to mock the games but those situations are SO often that you (as a player) don't take them as serious anymore as before. Thats basicly why we recorded this :D

Oh I know about that, I still love the games though despite the usual over-dramatic final evidence parts :D Pretty much the only games I praise on the DS.

[Iron Curtain]

Sehr schön, sehr schön!

Immer wieder eine Freude deine Videos zu gucken, du hast es echt drauf! :D

I translated this as

very good, very good!

Time and time again it is a joy to look at your videos, you truly have it on them!

Did I translate that correctly?

[Mataku]

'The Screaming Narwhal' is probably the name of the ship (my guess is we need to get on the ship, that's one half of the chapter, then to make it run, second half). But, if there's a lulz-god, it will be like you envisioned. :D

[Will]

Seriously man, I'm trying to get some work done here and yet I keep being compelled to watch this video!

[Lena_P]

I think you better drop the "wannabe" off of your user title Majus. Might I suggest exchanging it for "extraordinaire"?

[Ravey]

Yikes, that was awesome for a week's work. "A game by telltale" cracked me up too, very cool.

[Quuux]

I was hoping that the narwhal would hit guybrush after the credits.

[corruptbiggins]

brilliant. simply brilliant.

[Marty]

that was exellent

[Shauntron]

Seriously man, I'm trying to get some work done here and yet I keep being compelled to watch this video!

Yeah what gives! We're trying to make a video game here, stop being so cool.


I laughed a little too hard at the screaming narwhal sailing through the air.

[Irishmile]

My son has watched it a couple times in a row.

[Marty]

i also watched the original MI in 5 minutes flash. where can i get the 8-bit MI theme which is played at the end?

[Teppic]

It's fantastic! I've watched it a dozen of times. I really liked the part with the cutting of the mast and Guybrush overboard.

[Gary]

Great animation!

I really liked how you went so far as to emulate the look of the clouds! Little touches like that turn something awesome into... uh, more awesome.

Favorite part... the narwhal getting launched. I laughed out loud at that bit. Also, shooting of Guybrush in the beginning. Also, cutting of mast.

[Mighty Pirate]

tee hee hee

[LuigiHann]

I can't emphasize enough how much Majus needs to get a cameo voice role in one of these episodes.

And needless to say, this was awesome

[Arodin]

Your original Monkey Island flash movie and this new one are both exceedingly awesome and funny. Thanks.

(woosh!)

[HeyArnold]

And again a great Monkey island Flash movie, and what a catchy intro:

tudelutudelutudletudelu tutututudelu:rolleyes:

[Rather Dashing]

Oh man, I *just* discovered your Secret of Monkey Island video a week or two ago. Wow. Both are extremely incredible, I've watched both far too many times, and I still find them far funnier than anything should be after the amount of views I've gone through already. Just...great job. I really hope you do more of these!

[Maxilyah]

That was freaking hilarious. I love your stuff!

[werpu]

Brilliant, Telltale you guys should link it from your main page sort of as a teaser :-)

[Pantagruel's Friend]

one more vote on the "ilaughedmypantsoffpleasedomoreofthese" option :D

[OzzieMonkey]

awesome!

[IpFreely]

This Is a Very naiice monkey game islands video recorded!

You think of work, in kazaksthan ministry of properganda! make the funny film flash of jews! Waa Waa Wee Waa!

[dumpling321]

lol i was actually pretty mellow about waiting for the first episode of TMI but your video boosted my anxiousness 1,000,000,000,000,00(insert random number of zeros her)%

[MeisterGlanz]

lol i was actually pretty mellow about waiting for the first episode of TMI but your video boosted my anxiousness 1,000,000,000,000,00(insert random number of zeros her)%

OMG, it's over 9000!! ;)

[dumpling321]

well duh

[Silverwolfpet]

Wow! Woooow!

Okay... *deep breath*
This is Awesome! I knew the jokes, I knew the script, and I still laughed my shoes off! It's incredibly funny! Great job, guys! Great GREAT job!

TTG Team, and Fans from all around the world, thank you for the kind words! And, by the way, Majus... I think you should listen to them and make more animations = ) ) Maybe we should all team up again and make a mini-series or something.

Thank you for mentioning my name in the credits. I don't know how to translate this without sounding silly, but it felt really really cool, being part of your team and working on something cool with you guys! Also, thank you TTG Team for telling the world about this little animation in your blog. :D:D Man, I'm so excited! I'm gonna watch it again! And again... well, until my brain will send me signals such as "Go eat", "Go drink", "Go to bathroom"... and so on.

THANKS GUYS!!!

[Vodiara]

Short but really nice ;)

[Juicius Maximus]

Adorable! I think my favorite part is when Guybrush spreads his arms like a triumphant toddler after launching the narwhal.

[Gboi!]

Awesome work!!

[Sheepbrush]

O M G... That was epic and awesome! :)

[HaReL]

Amazing!

[Haggis]

Woah, this was a fun-project I did in just a weekend.

And, to answer your question: I’m a little preoccupied at the time, but when theres more demand for it, I’m going to translate it somehow :)
Hahaha, that was awesome... actually, it's almost even funnier than the original Monkey Island. :D

[Laserschwert]

Hahaha, that was awesome... actually, it's almost even funnier than the original Monkey Island. :D
I just loved "Kannst ja Schwimmflügel benutzen..." :D

Wow, ich sehe ja gerade, dass du Rick Kavanian für "Rick Rocket" bekommen hast... sehr cool!

[Weeblerjake]

brilliant. is there a version of this (http://www.majusarts.de/film/flash/miuhf.html) translated? it looks hilarious.

I believe this is what you are looking for...
http://www.majusarts.de/film/monkey/ENG/monkey_eng.html

[Mataku]

I believe this is what you are looking for...
http://www.majusarts.de/film/monkey/ENG/monkey_eng.html

no. Majus already said he didn't translate it (yet). follow the thread.

[Guinea]

Haha, awesome. I loved the not-monkey-island-1-summary, probably it was even funnier than the original. You should really translate it, our English speaking friends are missing out on something amazing.

Also, a bit off-topic maybe, but I just saw Arbeitsmann & Faulmann. Hilarious. And I guess it loops forever?

[Majus]

i also watched the original MI in 5 minutes flash. where can i get the 8-bit MI theme which is played at the end?
Got it from Youtube, it’s the Atari-Version. Link! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-JiPTlKVSk) Lovely, isn’t it? :)

Wow, ich sehe ja gerade, dass du Rick Kavanian für "Rick Rocket" bekommen hast... sehr cool!
Jau, und das war wirklich brütalnice. Trotzdem schaffts Monkey Island mehr Zuschauer als Rick, hehe.

Also, a bit off-topic maybe, but I just saw Arbeitsmann & Faulmann. Hilarious. And I guess it loops forever?
Thanks! Yeah, it loops forever. This was my 72h-film for the entrance examination at the Filmacademy in Ludwigsburg.

[burak]

Hey Great !
I wish a new Monkey Island story would be published with those oldschool comic drawings, not that pseudo modern 3d-ish comic models.

[GozzoMan]

Awesome! :D

The gesticulation and facial expressions are really something to see!!

[Kyo555]

'The Screaming Narwhal' is probably the name of the ship...

wait? no real Narwhals (http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/Narwhals/)? :(

@Majus Super Job, aber der Wal hätte ruhig mehr schreien können :D

[Glorix]

majus ich liebe deine werke :)


best flashvideos ever!

[Vainamoinen]

Hier auch noch ein ganz herzliches "Congratulations!".

This all makes you the king of the fans. ;)

[Boots]

absolutely fantastic.

[poke]

Telltale. Take this Guy to your Team.

Actually make him dub Guybrush in the German versions of the game :P

[hplikelike]

Once again, you amaze us all. Great job everyone who worked on the video.


P.S Majus, think movie has leveled you up.

+40 awsomeness

+15 in geekmazness

And...

And, to answer your question: I’m a little preoccupied at the time, but when theres more demand for it, I’m going to translate it somehow

+9001 to demand for English translations of Phoenix Wright and alt-MI.

(You don't even have to record the voices, just give the text.)

[CerebralRogue]

Hilarious and awesome video~! Great work dude!

[ElaineMarleyThreepwood]

Great job, Majus

[Fury]

Great video, I've loved your other stuff, even if I couldn't understand half of them.

Make this for every episode. You're a genius.

[adventureaddict]

Ahh, Majus, fantastic work as always! =]
Now, just to get english translations for every single piece you've done... =P

[BeeKay84]

Pure awesomeness! Majus, you rock!! :D

[SubElement]

AHAHA. That was awesome, well done!

[Pretender]

very funny.. good work.. I'd ask a native speaker to do the english voice over though

[Ertai]

awesome

[plrichard]

Just so you know, if this is what actually happens, I'm suing you for spoilers and emotional distress. (By you I mean both Majus and Silverwolfpet).

I mean it.:p

[Silverwolfpet]

^ Hahahahaha! Hm, should I start packing and go into exile now? ...hmmm, maybe after I play the first episode! :D

Hy, I'm interested on what exactly you used for your videos and website.

[Fury]

I hope you are able to do videos like this for every episode.

[Katsuro]

Hy, I'm interested on what exactly you used for your videos and website.

99,9% of Majus' animation are done with Flash from Adobe... Ok atually I think its 100%, but I didn't want to guess around. But yeah, Flash is his thing.

[Kaishen]

Haha, I watched this some days ago and I gotta say it's great fun. You gotta love what this guy does! Keep up the good work!

[Junaid]

Allright, without spoiling anything, you could do another one based on the cliffhanger of Chapter 1 ;)

[alejuss]

Just great, this movies are so... PERFECT! Thank you! and keep animating:D
