hi people seem to still watch my old stuff!! Thank you!!! Please check out my new stuff (please). And I will shamelessly plug my twitter and insta :) twitter: twitter.com/mangomomm insta: twitter.com/mangomomm

WHY IS IT THAT THE PART THAT HURT ME MOST WAS WHEN EVAN SAID "No mom who just was there cuz mom was all that she had to be" AND SMILED DOWN AT HIS FOOD BUT THEN LOOKED UP TO SEE NO MOM ON THE OTHER END OF THE TABLE TO EAT WITH

"Did you fall? Or did you let go?"

Everyone's saying stuff so emotional and I'm just like "heh. Those doors said door on them"

"Step out, step out of the sun if you keep getting burned..." "So how do I step in, step into the sun....?" FRICK FRACK (violent sobbing ensues)

Cynthia (to Larry): When he threaghtened to kill himself the first time, do you remember what you said? Larry: Of for Christ's sake. Cynthia: "He just wants attention." Larry: I'm not going to sit here and defend myself. Cynthia: He was *getting better*. Ask Evan. Tell him, Evan. (Evan freezes, the unmistakable sensation of his hands clamming up.) Evan: I shouldn't, um... Cynthia: Evan did everything he could. Larry: Evan was in denial of what was happening / right in front of him. Zoe: / Don't put him in the middle of this. Cynthia (going to the computer): Read the note, Larry. Read what he said. "I wish everything was different." / He wanted to be different. He wanted to be better. Larry: / I did the best I could. I tried to help him the only way I knew how, and if that's not good enough . . . Evan (overlapping them): No . . . No . . . No . . . Cynthia: He was trying to be better. He was trying. Larry: And he was *failing*. Cynthia: We failed *him*. (Evan can bear it no longer) Evan: No you didn't. (They rutn to look at him." Evan: You didn't fail him. Cynthia: Look at what he wrote . . . Evan: He didn't write that. (Long pause) Evan: I wrote it. (Silence.) Cynthia ( A ludicrous notion): You didn't write Connor's suicide note, Evan. Evan: It wasn't a . . . it was an assignment from my therapist. Write a letter to yourself. A pep talk. "Dear Evan Hansen: Today is going to be an amazing day, and here's why." Larry (Unable to make sense of this): I don't think . . . Evan: I was supposed to bring it to my appointment. Connor took it from me and I guess he must have had it with him when you . . . found him. Zoe: What are you talking about? Evan: We weren't friends. Cynthia: No, no, no. **Words Fail begins to play**

*_"No one can really see"_* *_"Would they like what they saw?_* *_"Or would they hate it too._* *_This shows that Evan hates himself for who he is because he thinks that the family is broken because of him._* *_I am sobbing... So much._*

If you listen closely in the beginning you can hear me sobbing

Everyone goes crazy for "Waving through a Window," but, to me, this song exemplifies what the show is trying to convey. That, no matter how much you try and close yourself off, no matter how much you try to make something happen that's not there and doesn't exist in the first place, the only thing that's real is what you have; you're mom is there for you, even if she's always working. Don't close yourself off. Step into the sun and see what's true.

"Cause all that it takes is a little reinvention." "This was just a sad invention that wasn't real, I know." : ((((

I love how you can hear the anxiety and emotion and self hatred and how overwhelmed he is in his voice so empathetically. This role was made for him. And your animatics are so beautiful, these bring me to tears.

I LITERALLY STARTED SOBBING WHEN I SAW THE ANIMATION FOR THE UHAUL TRUCK AND HIM LOOKING UP AND THERE BEING NO MOM OH MY GOD

You can hear his voice shaking... Ben is such a good actor

im blocking you for the bit where evan is eating dinner by himself thats illegal in at least 38 states of america (can you give the boy some love please,, somebody get him a blanket and a solid hug)

*when your just looking at it with a sad face with no tears while your crying on the inside so hard while everyone's grieving in front of you. Shame*

"What if everyone saw? What if everyone knew? Would they like what they saw? Or would they hate it too?" The thought that kills me every time it enters my head, cracked up a little bit hearing it in the song

I'd rather pretend I'm something better than these broken parts Pretend I'm something other than this MESS that I am Hearing his yearning when he says broken parts and his pain when he says "this MESS I am" broke me because I could relate on a visceral level.

FIrsT yOu bREaK mY hEaRT. tHen yOU sTOmP oN It. THen yoU hIT iT WiTh a TRaIn.😭

3:40 really hit me in the feels there

those five dislikes are the Murphys and Jared

If you say you didn't shed at least one tear at this song, you are a liar and I will not talk to you.

what killed me when i watched the musical is that cynthia was sobbing the entire time, and im glad you captured that here. i think i cried most when cynthia was losing it.

Holy shit, I've never commented on anything before but this is so good, I didn't fully realize every meaning in this song until I saw this, so thank you.

the detail??? the style???? the sheer NUMBER of frames?!?!? this is so hecking cool

“No one can really see, if they saw, would they hate it too?” *This hurts so much, it proves how much Evan hates himself, it just hits really close to home, I can relate so much it hurts. I’m sorry, I needed to vent*

AH!!!!!!!! Wow. So good. I read this article about Ben and how he portrayed Evan with so much emotion and there was this picture of him mid song (don't know which one) with the most pained expression on his face, with big puffy red eyes... and now I just want to see the show even more so I can SOB AT HIS SHEER TALENT AND THE SADNESS

Looking back onto your seventeen animatic, I can tell that you've really improved at expressions and movement. heckin great job boi

WAIT SO THE STEP INTO THE SUN THING MEANS EVAN WANTS TO DIE AGAIN BECAUSE THE SUN PART IN WAVING THROUGH A WINDOW AND AUGH ITS EVEN MORE SAD NOW GOD DANG IT WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELG

I'm crying so hard rn. I've been there, admitting doing something and can't explain why you did it other then that your sorry and just wanted to be apart of something. This song brings be so many memories and the animation drove it home. Thank you for the beautiful piece but also my insides hurt now.

I will say this, I like how they had Evan admit what he did instead of someone else exposing him like we’ve seen in countless other liar revealed stories.

My favorite part about evan is his hair is so well put to together all the time and that may sound weird but I have diagnosed social anxiety disorder and my hair is really important to me. I always have a comb with me because I physically cannot handle my hair being out of place and when I obsessively brush it nobody gets it. I've had teachers take it away. I've had to defend myself to the school because a kid gently combing their part back into place disturbs the kids and teachers around them. Without it I have to hold something large enough so my nails can't dig into my skin and leave me bleeding. A teacher came over and asked the table if it disturbed them and one kid said yes. I said "this is my only good way to help myself. It's this, I pick my scabs, or I dig my nails into my skin. Make your choice." She let me keep it. How neat his hair is during the musical seems like such small but well placed representation, especially compared to the other characters

DAMN IT ALL! I SHOULDN'T BE CRYING! I NEARLY CRIED AT THE POINT WHERE HE LOOKED UP AND SAW HIS MOM NOT THERE.

this animatic gave me way too many feels. also this musical broke me

∂єαя мє, уσυ ωιℓℓ ¢яу. уσυ ¢яιє∂ ѕιи¢єяєℓу, мє

You can almost hear the suicidal thoughts.

I love this so much. I love how you portrayed his emotions with the facial expressions and i don't know why I'm crying...

The emotion Ben put into this song, is honestly so moving. Mostly the line "Pretend im somthing other than this MESS that I am!" And "Cuz than I dont have to look at it, And NO ONE has to look at it!" Are just such powerful lines, you can tell he put his heart and soul into this song.

*Connor:* There are moments that the words don't reach There is suffering too terrible to name You hold your child as tight as you can And push away the unimaginable The moments when you're in so deep It feels easier to just swim down Evan, it's quiet uptown... do you like it uptown? *(he is going through the unimaginable)* If you see him in the street, walking by himself, talking by himself *(he is going through the unimaginable)*

*talking about the beginning of the musical* HE *flips table* SAID *shoves bookshelf over* HE DIDNT KNOW *breaks window* CONNOR *throws chair at wall* AND THEY SAID *beats the wall with said chair* HE WAS IN *breaks chair* SHOCK AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED *jumps out broken window*

“I’ve learned to slam on the break before I even turned the key!” Yeah no this is the part that gets me

Anyone else have the type of anxiety that blanks your mind whenever you need to speak; even though you- to the point of obssession- ruminate on the right words to say, to sound lucid, eloquent, and just not stumble over your words or come off as insecure but then the moment you need to speak... you just get tongue tied anyways?

I was listening to this song in the car (not driving, with headphones) and silently burst into tears. My mom started freaking out and tried to pry out if something was wrong. BAHDKAKND HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO TELL HER THAT HER SON IS CRYING BECAUSE OF AN ANIMATIC Ahh I love my mom so much, bless her soul :')

excuse me. as I go cry in the corner. like the hundredth time. well. I think this musical the reason why I have depression

THIS SONG ACTUALLY READS LIKE A SUICIDE NOTE OH GOD IM CRYING

I love this because this shows what's the truth but sad because Evan realizes what mistakes he's made. Evan really wants things to be different for him.

Doctor: you have 5:53 min to live. Me: o, OK. W O R D S F A I L

Is it bad that this is relatable to me? I used to _really_ hate myself, and I thought that I didn't deserve the great family that I have. Perhaps I perceived the song wrong, but I saw this in the song.

I really like the part where he says that "I'll rather pretend I'm better than these broken parts" and "I never let them see the worst of me" since he's not alone to say that and this musical made me better like that song "You will be found ". I really like that song it made me feel I'm not alone. Sorry for this long appreciation for Dear Evan Hansen 😅

i thought it was a good idea to read a book about a kid m y age with a terminal illness while watching this . sorry for spelling mistakes i cant see thriugh my tears

Nothing like purposefully making yourself cry when you're stressed as hell

can we just appreciate and praise the vocal range, please

this song will always remind me about how most kids feel. They feel alone and scared.

It’s been two years since I saw the show. I was probably the only one who didn’t cry. Being sick with the common cold which is a rare thing that happens at the night at the theatre for me didn’t make enjoying DEH any easy. But I’m lucky to have got through it okay. And the more I see Evan being the Connor look alike, the more I like him better dressing in blue.

I never meant to make it such a mess I never thought that it would go this far So I just stand here sorry Searching for something to say Something to say Words fail, words fail There's nothing I can say I guess I thought I could be part of this I never had this kind of thing before I never had that perfect girl Who somehow could see the good part of me I never had the dad who stuck it out No corny jokes or baseball gloves No mom who just was there 'Cause mom was all that she had to be That's not a worthy explanation I know there is none Nothing can make sense of all these things I've done Words fail, words fail There's nothing I can say Except sometimes, you see everything you wanted And sometimes, you see everything you wish you had And it's right there, right there, right there In front of you And you want to believe it's true So you make it true And you think maybe everybody wants it And needs it, a little bit too This was just a sad invention It wasn't real, I know But we were happy I guess I couldn't let that go I guess I couldn't give that up I guess I wanted to believe 'Cause if I just believe Then I don't have to see what's really there No, I'd rather pretend I'm something better than these broken parts Pretend I'm something other than this mess that I am 'Cause then I don't have to look at it And no one gets to look at it No, no one can really see 'Cause I've learned to slam on the brake Before I even turn the key Before I make the mistake Before I lead with the worst of me I never let them see the worst of me 'Cause what if everyone saw? What if everyone knew? Would they like what they saw? Or would they hate it too? Will I just keep on running away from what's true? All I ever do is run So how do I step in Step into the sun? Step into the sun

wow thanks I feel like I was just stabbed in the gut

Words Fail.... The song I sing in my head. The song that brought me back to life with happiness. The song sometimes make me cry about my sad past when I was at the age of 8... I have to agree with this songs words do fail. . .

Musicals: Adds a sad teenager going through mental illness Fandom: Hey that’s me I relate

Your style is opening up the floodgates goddamnit

Ugh as someone who’s just now getting into this fandom (fight me I like didn’t even know abt this musical until everyone started hating on the movie recently and I finally listened to the soundtrack and fell in love so yeah anyways-) this animatic is just like absolutely perfect tbh. This song hits so hard and I absolutely love it. Evan’s so sorry for his actions and u convey that emotion so well in his expressions! Jeez my heart can’t take this rn 😂😭

This is the closest to crying I’ve been in a long time. “I never let the see the worst of me! ‘Cause what if everyone saw? What if everyone knew? Would they like what they saw? Or would they hate it too?” That’s so deep. Jesus Christ.

When he's singing about wanting what was right there in front of him, my heart wrenched. I've gone through almost the same exact senario as Evan Hanson. I saw so many people happy... So many people taking advantage of the fact they had a family, one who wanted them. This is a masterpiece, a work of art. Thank you.

“No, I’d rather pretend I’m something better than these broken parts, pretend I’m something other than this mess that I am, cause then I don’t have to look at it, and no one gets to look at it.” This is my favorite part of the song. The emotion in it is so strong and I love it so much. This song in general, no this entire play, is AMAZING. Your art style is so pretty you are really good at expressing the emotions, keep up the great work!

This animatic makes me feel bad for poor Evan. But we all gotta be honest it was not cool to lie about a dead kid to their family and use your friends to help you build your throne of lies. Edit: but I can understand him

oh my gOd this is incredible. i haven't seen your other animatics but the expressions in this are wonderful. i almost started crying. hoooooooooo boy

I see a lot of people talking about the parents part as the animatic...but just those lines really hit close to home to me AND the animatic... sobbing

What really breaks me is when he says "will they hate it too" which is implying that he hates what he is. He hates himself, and that just breaks me how one word can change so much

This is a masterpiece omf..... your art style is beautiful and I love the way you draw hair w/ shapes??? It's really pretty ... especially the way u portray Evan's emotions!! I love the facial expressions and ears... I'm REALLY interested in your style it's amazing!!!!!!!! All the angles are perf I love this a lot 10/10 thank u a bunch💖💖💖

" I never had that dad that stuck it up. No corny jokes. No baseball gloves. " God that's fucking what hit me. Then the next part involving the mom made it a fucking waterfall of *relateing*

I relate to the lyrics and emotions conveyed by this song so much and I just end up sobbing everytime I hear it because, 1)it's such an emotional song sung so well and it just makes you feel for the characters 2) it conveys so well how I myself feel. So, thank you, for making this animation so well. Just- thank you. It shows all the emotions so well- and just, I really don't know what to say but, thank you! I'm sorry I'm such a mess but, thank you!!!

you nailed this! I love your choice of presentation! like when he yells out "And it's right there!, right there!" you drew a picture of their family with him reaching out to it, and when he says "So you make it true" he's in the picture, it gets me every time :') Edit: also when they leave in the second part and he's completely alone is just so perfect i love it

whoa there goes my heart

“I never let them see the worst of me” We know we all hide something, something we don’t want anyone to see. It’s like a mask that we can’t take off. No one can see what we truly are. “Cuz what if everyone saw?” “What if everyone knew?” “Would they like what they saw?” “Or would they hate it too?” This is us questioning ourself. Am I perfect? Does anyone like me? Do I love myself? Am I worth anything? If I show them, will they accept me? This is the phase where the mask stays on like a permanent marker. We’re attacking ourself’s with our own words. Discouraging our self, lowering our self-esteem. “All I ever do is run” “So how do I step in... step into the the sun.” I think anyone can relate to this line We all run away from our fears instead of facing them either when it comes to our general fears or bigger things. When some one hurts our feelings it our instinct to let those words sink in, to let them ruin us. So what’s the point in living? Love There’s always someone out there for you some one who loves you Someone who will be there for you even if you don’t need them. That’s exactly what this musical is trying to tell us. After the sun sets it will rise again, you just need to wait. In the real world there are no good guys nor bad guys, we just see the world like that. In this musical there is no good guy. Evan for sure isn’t one. He lies, abandons, and treats his mother like trash. Evan has a reason for this. His father left when he was young, his mother is never around, and he struggles with social anxiety. Conner isn’t the bad guy either, sure he was a drug addict and tortured Zoe but he’s not the only one like that. He killed himself thinking it’ll be better for the world. No one is the good or bad guy. I love this song because it show emotion and truth. No one is alone just open your eyes. /You Will Be Found/ -Sincerely Me

Wow. Ben Platt has an AMAZING voice...and this animatic really makes this video a MILLION times better...

Mr. Murphy walking away was like his dad leaving again I’m-

so, it's an amazing song, a beautiful animatic, and is so heartbreaking. but personally, I think that the most impressive thing is that you kept Evan's hair parted the same direction in every frame

4:45 I love when he said step in the sun

I absolutely love how you captured his feelings with the expressions~ and the art style is beautiful~~~~~ keep up the good work my dude

I love this so much! The feeling behind the song is portrayed wholeheartedly behind the animatic, and you have done an amazing and inspiring job! Thank you!

I was frickin crying so hard by the end of this. This is beautiful.

This is so devastatingly relevant to how I feel.. “What if everyone saw, what if everyone knew? Would they like what they saw? Or would they hate it too...?” My heart shattered. I haven’t stepped into the sun yet..but maybe someday I will.

I've been searching for an animatic for this since I saw the musical in person and I have finally found one. and it's perfect.

This is honestly one of the best songs in the whole musical! Can’t wait to see it this summer!

im so happy someone finally made this; i love this song(my fav) and this animation was freaking fantastic and made me sob a lot. Great work!

what breaks my heart the most is that this is basically him contemplating suicide.

I never let them see the worst of me. I just replay that line over and over again.

This legit makes me cry.

This is also my fave deh song???? And its right before my birthday???? thank you??????

*Evan tears up* Nononono, you cant start crying because if you cry then I'll cry then you'll cry even more and then we'll both be even worse than the messes that we already are...

I love how you can hear that the singer is really into it. I love how you can see that the characters on the screen are into it. I love how you can feel that the artist is really into it. I love everything about this video!

I love this song but it makes me cry every time and I hate that, it's so sad

This must have taken absolutely FOREVER to make. Good on you, mate.

This animatic brought out emotions I didn't even know I had

This absolutely beautiful. This animation I feel perfectly captures the emotion in this song. It's so wonderfully done thank you for posting this. I'm totally not like crying super hard or anything pfftp no way. Great job my dude

This is insane. I'm literally about to cry, this is so beautiful. You can see how overwhelmed he is just in how you've drawn him and how it compliments his voice. Please continue to draw, you have so much talent.

Wow, this is incredible. Enough said, my words are failing this is beautiful 😭💞💔

Ben Platt is so amazingly powerful with his voice. I've never cried listening to a song, but to his voice I shed a tear. Your drawings are amazing as well. They really convey all of the feelings and I love them. Keep up the amazing work!

This one hit me the most the mix of regret and sadness you can feel in his voice this hit way to close to home

I think that so many people including myself can relate so much to Evan because he is so scared that people won't accept him and he doesn't want to accept to show people his bad parts because he believes that they will hate him, and when he says " will they hate it too" TOO it means that he hates it too, I can relate to this SOO much because I secretly hate all of the parts inside of me that are not perfect in any way and I am always scared I'll be an outcast and I am afraid that I will not be accepted and I just pretend that I don't have them and I do pretend that I'm better than all of my broken parts and I don't want to let me or others look at the broken parts inside of me, and I don't want anyone to see them so I do feel like I am always running away from what's true and I am so accustomed to doing that I feel like I don't know how to be me, for who I truly am with all of my may flaws and imperfections anymore, "I don't lnow hpw to " step into the sun"

Though I I’d rather pretend I’m something better than these broken parts Pretend I’m something better than this MESS that I am So that I don’t have to look at it And no-one has to look No. God damnit why can I relate so much to this line

I made a new friend. She's the first person in years to ask me if I was unhappy. She seems genuinely interested in my wellbeing so I want to open up, but I can't find the words. I kinda wanna make her watch deh. Then I could just point at the screen and say "me".
