I have the feeling that the narrator may be God. Like, the person who’s singing is God who gave Luanne a second chance to punish her cruel husband. Now, He’s singing her tale to all cruel men (frankly, I like to also believe that it also means abusers in general), warning them that if they preform such abusive acts, they will also experience a similar fate to Luanne’s husband.

I love the way he says "God loves Luanne" because her faith was all she had, and the when she came back the husband said "Aint no one ever loved you." She got validation from God who cared, and now shes in a better place.

When she escapes but there's still half the video left

the imagery of a battered woman wrapping her abuser in chains while blood falls from her eyes and mouth as she drags him to hell is just *chefs kiss* also her expression at the end with the tear? makes me tear up as well

It always worries me when she gets the cleaver and walks towards the dog

me : smiles as she escapes also me after looking at the time stamp : oh shit

Luanne's abuser: Ain't no one ever loved you A minute later: God loves Luanne, praise be, amen Thats so sweet.

Luanne didn't kill him with the knife because she is to good and to innocent to do it. She just wanted to be free it's understandable that she didn't thought about killing him.

The dedication it takes to make a 7 minute animatic is insane.

What’s sad is that this song is not to far off from victims of actual domestic abuse. Their abusers will kill them if they do not get out of there. When someone who is supposed to love you puts their hands in you, they don’t love you. One time is enough.

Me, sees that she made a run for it: no fear Also me: sees theres 4 minutes left: One fear

heyy so i got lyrics if you would like them:) Luanne's fat lip is drying, The bastard's bacon frying, The shiner on her eye's gone bust and bleeding. He shouts, "Girl, set the table!" But he knows she ain't able. Her arm's done broke, Hung limp like yolk, And softly she's repeating... "Leave, Luanne. Why don't you march out that door? Southern woman, he ain't no good to you. Leave, Luanne. Louisiana wants war, But it's you dying on her ruby plains." And yet, loyal Luanne remains. Ever since he got him laid off, His sanity's just made off. No, he was never nice, but now he's cruel. He rapes her, and he beats her, She don't 'fess how he treats her, 'Cause a Bible verse Says it won't get worse, And she won't be a fool. "You won't never leave, Luanne, 'Cause if you walk out that door His truck will be gunning for you. No, you won't leave, Luanne, Or he'll give you 'What for?' You got heart where you should have had brains." And so, loyal Luanne remains. Someone's howling, Screams like sighing with battered breath Grating, growling, Never dying In a fate worse than death. But months of such conditions Turn laymen to logicians And tonight the bastard's sleeping like a log. So she plucks the kitchen cleaver, Creeps up toward his roped-up lab retriever, And she cuts the rope, And hope on hope, She starts to shout, "Your dog's got out!" She's got her chance. With no back glance She runs out to the bog, Screaming, screaming: "Leave, Luanne!" "Leave, Luanne. You've got a life left to live In a house hanging off the Golden Coast! Leave, Luanne. You won't forget nor forgive, " And she don't feel the stings, the rips, and scrapes As finally Luanne escapes. Swim, Luanne! Swim, Luanne! And in the swamp of beeches, Oh, as the preacher preaches, As the light In the night Holds through the marsh and brushes As the blood inside you rushes Left and right, Hold on tight- -Until you reach the bank And you crawl onto the bank, 'Til you feel a little yank on your hair And, stricken, stare at the bastard Who beat you there. The bastard lies in bed now, Half-sad his wife is dead now. She drowned herself in a swamp in wild despair. He thinks he used to love her, But push it came to shove her, A wife disposed, A wife case closed, And no one seems to care, To grieve Luanne. Now no one's on his shoulder, But his mattress don't feel colder, And in fact, it's hellish hot, and the air is dank and steaming. Yet his body starts to shiver When the window cracks a sliver And a fiery fog From the miry bog Pours in the room In a sticky gloom And there the man Sees dead Luanne. He's terrified, But he keeps his pride, 'Cause he knows that he ain't dreaming. And he starts screaming, "Leave, Luanne. Hell sent you back here for more, 'Cause ain't no one ever loved you." But said Luanne, "I've come to settle a score, " And she shows him her feet are bound in chains. And loyal Luanne remains And remains And remains And remains! Someone's howling, Screams like sighing With battered breath. Grating, growling, Never dying In a fate worse than death. Luanne, She cries her miserable wail So the bastards will never sleep again! No, no reprieve, Luanne, She brings their souls down to hell, A caution to the cruelest of men: God loves Luanne! Praised be! Amen!

I watched your animatic for Sara Berry and now I'm watching this

The “God loves Luanne” part makes me cry every time no matter how many times I watch a animatic of this song 😔

ngl the beginning strums sound like a cautionary tale

I feel bad for all the people who didnt know what was coming after she left the house…

Okay but I think that it's pretty cool that Luanne brings abusers down to hell, good job to her-

I like how this song plays out like an urban legend; with Luanne coming back from the dead and taking revenge on her abuser and then doing the same to other abusers. This song feels like both a fable and a creepy myth.

I love how “someone’s howling” turned from her crying to him being afraid as she drags him to hell

"Cause ain't no one ever loved you" "God loves Luanne" Isn't that beautiful

I think Luanne is like la llorona, a woman in white who gets revenge on unfaithful men, but in her case, abusive men, like the Bastard. Also can I just say how I appreciate how we just call him the Bastard?

I really like the way you drew luanne, in a lot of these she seems almost childlike and pretty uwu, so I like that she doesn’t look so innocent and vulnerable

Luanne escapes. Me: :-D There's more. Me: D-:

This song is so close to my heart. It reminds of a story. My sister wants to be a teacher. In the university there is this thing, when you have to go practice teaching and stuff. I remember when I met her, after her class there was a bunch of little girls (5th-6th grade) and they told her LITERALLY: We don't like nice boys, we want boys who treats us like shit. As someone, who had toxic relationships before I've tried to explain them how easily they could "be Luanne". They didn't really cared about my saying. I've tried to help them at least. I just wanted to say...if you are in a toxic relationship right now...don't forget: -You're valid ❤️ -You're stronger than you think 🧡 -Never give up hope 💛 -You're not alone 💚 -One day you will be free 💙 -And THAT BASTARD MAN OR WOMAN DOESN'T DESERVE YOU 💙💚🧡❤️💓💜💖💕💗💘♥️💞🤎🤍❣️

Thought it was gonna have a happy ending.... I was wrong Edit: I ment in the middle of the song, I hadn't heard the song before this. Lol

It’s so cool how even the music plays into Luanna emotions. Like, there are parts where Luanna is just about to get her freedom or finally has it and that’s where the female voice chimes in, almost to say that she can finally have her own voice too. In the first part it only really cuts off when she’s caught, which means that she’s back to becoming silenced again. This might be a stretch but, in the river scene where she’s absolutely happy to have been free, you can almost hear how the female voice overpowers the male one, up until the point where she reaches the shore and is caught. Right there the female voice ends and only comes back when she’s a ghost. When Luanna reappears as a ghost the female voice begins again and starts to overpower once more (especially so when she hits that one note and gets into the groove of things). The last part always gives me goosebumps.

This song sound like the marinair revenge song but in the mom's perspective a little bit

The only dislike is the husband

Wait why would she wake him up. He said “he’s sleeping like a log”. She could’ve let the dog out so it wouldn’t bark and then run out with it.

Oh get out, not only did you make a Sarah Berry animatic you made a Leave Luann animatic too? Awesome! I particularly like the interpretation of Luann having the bastard dragged off to Hell. :D

we stan luanne in this house, what a queen

Luanne about to bring someone’s soul to literal hell: I’m going to do what’s called a pro gamer move

*racks shotgun with religious intent*

3:43 "She looks so happy, awww-wait, _how long is this song_ ?" 4:21 "Ohhhh right...oh dear" You did a great job! I like your design for Luanne and how you used the colors Also, 6:17 her dress _yessss_

Despite listening to this song dozens of times I still get scared when she grabs the clever

This is amazing! I love how you also show how when asked about Luanna's death, the husband makes an excuse instead of owning up. Not many animatics show it and I feel like that part can fly over a lot of heads if you're not listening carefully (it did for me lol)

Snif snif Do I smell *Underrated?* I love the visuals here!!

This song reminds me of a story. I once had a friend, or not a friend, who I met on the internet (KZfaq, specifically) who would always requested for me to draw pictures. If I refused, he would type in a harmful action like beating me up with a ruler. It always hurt on the inside. A *lot.* He always said that he didn't mean it, but I knew damn well that he did because he was horrible. He was very mean and forceful about everything and always acted like he was superior to everyone. I wanted to back out of the relationship, but whenever I tried, he'd pull my back in and cause worse and worse mental harm to me each time. Then I finally gained the courage to break free without him knowing. That toxic relationship really taught me something and I'm glad it's over a year later. Darn, freedom feels nice. This song really speaks out to me. (And not to mention, I LOVE this art style.)

I am so happy you made this! I love how more and more people are noticing this musical, it really is a gem. I cant wait to see more of your work! As a side note, i like to think that the line " the bastard who beat you there" can have two meanings, as in he got there before her and the worse meaning... i kinda think he killed her because later it says "a life disposed" which yeah, is kinda dark but something to think about.

I’ve never felt so attached to a character in the span of 7 minutes

This is probably the best animatic I've seen for this song so far. I feel like none of the other ones have really conveyed the emotions in the song properly and yours really captures them. The scene of him being dragged to hell is particularly good and really matches the song as well.

Out of all the 35MM animatics I’ve watched, yours are my favorites by far. They’re so clean and smooth, and the art style is awesome! Keep up the great work!

Okay poor luanne it's awful what happened to her but what I'm most curious about is *is the dog okay?*

Luanne: *Gets closer to the dog with a cleaver* Me: What are you doing?! Luanne: *Lets it go* Me: Oh...

i was so pissed on the first part, BUT WHEN LUANNE SET HIM ON FIRE OH "HELL" YEAH I LOVED THAT, that cheered me up but i'm still a lil pissed though

Moral of the story: don’t abuse your wife or ya get abused

Luanne kinda sounds like a mix of my name and my deadname... This animatic is also really good. I like the shading.

☺Okay starting off really grea-😰awww great he's abusive of course he-😄OH she's free! SHE'S FREE! SHE'S-😫Nooooooooooo! She's dead...well this is sad...Oh the song is still going I wonder what- 😳 Holy creamed canoli. 😸✨ This was great!

The euphoria I get when the song say leave Luanne. Its just so satisfying

Damn that was actually good. It's not my favourite art style, but almost every panel was so clean and refined and expressive it's hard not to love it. Nice one!

The 'remains' repetitions were so good. I like that it's still creepy but I can watch it without getting NIGHTMARES.

I saw your Sara Berry anamatic- But then I watch this one, I loved it, & realised I forgot to subscribe when I watched SB. *andioop-*

I personally really like the idea that she came back as like an avenging angel that looks after battered spouses and drags their abusers to hell

the switch from 6:24 to 6:26 gave me chills, bro. Too good. It was too good.

"His truck will be gunning for you." With the amount of physically abusive pickup drivers (Usually hetero dudes with a drinking problem) I believe it. Luanne deserved so much better, but God literally backed her so I say her coming back to torment assholes is a power move.

The more I watch this and listen to the lyrics, I start to wonder if he drowned her and someone found her and that's why Luanne came back to kill him or If she had actually drowned herself, there was no dog or knife and he didn't do anything to her and she never reached the bank, but he saw her run and jump, but didn't go after her and that's how he found out she died so, when Luanne comes back, it's in the form of guilt for not stopping her

Yes. Just yes. Holy crap. That was epic! The intensity at the start, the triumphant middle, the sheer heartbreak at her death, and then the scene of her ghost giving him the punishment he deserves oh-so much are all captured FLAWLESSLY!! Catharsis has a name, and it is this video!

I like that the song goes from saying luanne will remain loyal from the way it emphasizes the words, then to at the end where the emphasis changes and makes her loyal luanne, and basically says she won’t ever leave

I'm just glad Luanne finally got to settle the score! Now she can rest in peace 👼👼👼 #BossBabe

I think the song had to be called loyal Luanne because even when she died she still went to him and it just makes more sense to me

Man abuses his wife Luanne: God, hold my drink!

i love the art in this its so good

"The air is ✨ *_DANK_* ✨

It's a bittersweet catharsis to know that Lou Anne got a chance to 'settle the score' while still being loved by God because of the choices she made to try and get her freedom. You'd think vengeful spirits would be the opposite of what God wants but this feels apropos.

✨I'm sorry you dropped this 👑✨(Ok but you're like the Queen of 35MM!)

THIS WAS THE BEST ANIMATIC I'VE SEEN FOR THIS OML

I love how all the drawings look like they took a lot of time and actually look finished!

another underrated animator i see p.s: i see how you put so much effort in this and its honestly inspiring me to draw rn 😍🌟💛

Here's a theory I made : maybe sara berry is a reincarnation version of luanne .because here it showed that she went to "hell" because you killed herself so she sended her husband to hell after all the pain and suffer,god gave her another chance at life with a rich and healthy family, but soon her dad starts getting abusive and because of that she tried to boost her confidence cause she didnt wanna end up like before but at prom is was her last straw so she took it out of her system and killed 6 girls and when she had her crown she realized what she had done but that was just around the cops came and then she went to a asylum realizing she had become the thing she hated the most. Not a real fact just a theory I made

I love this. You did an amazing job--your animatic totally does this song justice! I love the way you drew this! I thought it was a cool artistic decision how you had that second Luanne advising her/pointing to the truck around 1:35. I think you captured the emotions of the whole song really well!

I know she used the dog as an excuse to escape but I can't help but imagine that she let the dog escape as well like he would beat and abuse the dog if she escaped-

This musical getting more attention is the best this that has happened to me this year, this is amazing!

I always a cold lump in my stomach when the line "stricken stare at the bastard who beat you there" because of the double meaning

I don' know if you mean online school by school(hopefullyitisonline--) but I stay safe out there! Also woskwosks that's a _n o i c e_ animatic👌👌

This song kept being so unexpected like I thought that she was gonna kill the husband or the dog but then she didn’t and then I thought she was gonna kill herself but then she was just swimming but then she did kill herself and thank you for spending the time to animate this dear artist person so I could enjoy and appreciate this song as well as your art.

I love how the song, just before the climax, creates the illusion that Luanne is staying with her abuser, even as a ghost, before revealing that he is getting what he deserves.

I love this so much! Luanne looks so relieved at the end!

i didn't notice it at first, but the silhouette of luanne above her grave and the way it foreshadows the end of the song. god. GOD. i love little details like that. i'm obsessed with this, thank you for all of your hard work.

i smell an underrated channel

I always assumed the bit about the chains around Luannes feet just meant that before she could be free from earth she had to go back and settle their score, and she does.

But when you think she escapes then "he beat her there"

ahhh i absolutely love how near the end she's just standing there smiling while he's freaking out. plus that pose with her hands behind her back!! she looks so nonchalant and it's eerie and just- *good*

4:21 the way he says "yank" actually sounds like hes physically yanking something

Magnificent! I know this sounds like other comments, but you really did capture the emotion of the song! I wouldn't imagine another animator doing this better than you did

The ending left me rather confused...at least, in terms of the song lyrics. I have a strong suspicion that the Bastard beat Luane to death for trying to escape. As such; why would she be in Hell, as HE claims?

Choke on those chains- Luanne gets to go to heaven. She deserves it.

I love how at the end there's flames and blood and everything on luanne when she's haunting her abusive husband, it's almost like a scene out of hell. But at the very end, when he goes up in flames, there's angelic yellow light and she smiles liek a scene from heavan. idk i just think it's neat. there's symbolism there or smth.

Woahhh, I love this and your style is lovely! I’m screaming this is so good- The facial expressions and details are amazinggg. Keep up the great work

YES!! I'M SO GLAD PEOPLE ARE FINDING OUT ABOUT 35MM THROUGH QUARANTINE

This is still the best animation for this song that I’ve seen on KZfaq

.... Ok I've only heard Sara Berry and now this W h a t I s T h I s M u s i c l e A b o u t

i love his expression when he sings: "cause ain't no one ever loved you."

ooh another 35MM animatic!!! that show is so underrated and your art is so incredible so having these animations from you is so amazing!! the way you added the crackle filter in the beginning to show a flashback was so creative, and the use of colour to show blackouts and the ghost were as well!! incredible job this really made my day ^-^ (also your backgrounds are top tier. like the silhouette of the trees when she was first running out were so good!)

Oh my GOD dude this is amazing. I’ve loved this song for years and this is definitely my favorite animatic out there for it. The bog part specifically just MWAH the way you portrayed her joy at just the simplest things I could cry I just love it thank you this was a delight

I've heard this song a dozen times, seen animatic after animatic and yet This is the one that has me bawling like a kid

I want Luanne to be a thing in my dnd setting now.

Omg it's so awesome! The backdrops are so pretty and the charactar designs look so cool! ♡

Luanne like some sort of avenging angel? Or is she like a poltergeist demon sort of girl?

I always wondered why she distracted him by letting the dog out when he was already asleep. Like she totally could’ve escaped if she hadn’t woken him up

Homegirl Luanne just done snapped 💅😌✨
