My Childhood Recaptured in Stop Motion
And by ‘my childhood’, I of course mean the X-Men cartoon from the 90s, recreated in loving detail.
Glorious! The action figure work is to die for. The video was made by Kyle Roberts and Reckless Abandonment Pictures. Top notch work. Apparently they took over 4,000 individual pictures to make that video, along with special effects and background animation. Truly impressive. My friends and I in college once made a stop motion video in the hallway. It was good, and I wish I still had a copy of it somewhere.
I don’t know about you, but the X-Men cartoon in the 90s defined my childhood. I was watching that cartoon before I even really got into comic books, and no doubt it helped spur me along to my eventual obsession. So kudos to these people for winning the Internet this week.

great ending
This is AWESOME! I grew up with this X-Men series as well, and loved it. This was a great recreation, but it did remind me of the question I always asked as a “kid” – why Jubilee?
Jubilee was a member of the X-Men during that period in the 90s. The show was based on the actual comic book lineup (for the most part).
