Imagine if he could phase through walls like that how much more terrifying he'd be

The warden is a definion of a Disney villain. Talented British singer with a lovely voice. Power ballad, opera, you name it.

Is no one going to talk about how the bats basically saved Alex and Steve here? One sacrificed himself so Steve could be pulled out of the pit and the others flew towards the exit so Alex and Steve knew where to go.

Whoever animates this stuff has serious talent!

i love how both of these are so calm compared to how other players would react around the warden

This is how I want the Minecraft movie to be like, this is too beautiful.

1:46 this behavior should be added to vanilla Minecraft on hard mode to really add that extra fear factor

The face Alex had on 0:26 was absolutely priceless

When the Warden came out of the ground, I truly was expecting him to start dancing with hat and all.

If only it was possible to dodge The Warden’s sonic boom attack like they did

after watching this, i think that minecraft should have it's own movie with scenes like this.

I am so proud of my husband! He composed the music for this piece. Thank you, everyone, for supporting! My heart is full. I can only hope that there is a musical in the future and he’s blessed enough to be on board.

Element animation did such a splendid job on this! Big shoutout to them!

If the warden could crawl through the wall like it did in this animation it would be 100x more terrifying

I liked this detail, that you can hear the Warden's heartbeat. 1:53

0:40 when she says that her parents aren't home.

Honestly if the warden could dig through blocks like it did in this video I’d be terrified even more of it-

They truly got as dark as they could while still maintaining their “E” rating. Also it’s gonna scare the living daylight sensor out of me if I find out the hard way those long-distance attacks are real.

Imagine the Phantom of the Opera but it's the Warden instead.

Come down to the dark There's no one around An ancient city with riches to be found But don't make a peep And be light on your feet 'Cause if you make a sound There's something you'll meet The Warden will rise It has no eyes, it can sense you in the dark And hunt you as you hide Oh no, it's too late You've sealed your fate It just needs a whiff And it can find you with one sniff You steal and you rob Invading its home Causing a commotion Get out of this catacomb Souls beat in its chest There's no time to rest And you've been a bad guest So run, you cacophonous pest Come down to the dark

Perfect for the spooky season of Halloween. Or, as I call it, “The day of the warden.”

If the Warden could walk through the walls, fighting him and meeting him would be more exciting.

And they said minecraft isn't a horror game.

If only the warden could phase through walls it would be 10× terrifying

Steve and Alex: "lets get some loot" Warden: "one does not simply...walk into ancient cities"

The deep dark has accomplished its goal 100%, its probably the only time ive felt fear in vanilla minecraft.

1:29 That bat is the real hero, sacrificed himself to save Steve.

Is no one gonna mention how Steve’s design keeps changing throughout the video?

Shoutout to the team behind this they did a amazing job ❤

I exceeded my expectations to knowing Minecraft would make masterful albums like this one.

1:20 the warden scared a beard onto Steve's face

They should totally add the orchestral version of this into the game as a music disc 😁

The element style is so recognizable. Love it!

They really put some lore into the lyrics and I’m pretty sure nobody noticed it: “Invading its home” (1:25) “Get out of this catacomb” (1:31) “Souls beat in its chest” (1:33)

The Way the warden slowly treads everywhere makes it seem so much more ominous than its silly run in the game .

Wow. Just… wow! This is amazing! The song deepens the feeling that humans are not meant to be down that far. Like delving so deep is breaking ancient laws of the universe. It also proves my point. Wardens are simply introverts with sensory issues. Their hearing is so sensitive that it would be the equivalent of strobing a bright light in a person’s eyes. And if somebody came into my house and did that, I’d be pretty upset too.

Seeing the warden at the end just phasing/digging through the wall then just standing there gives the idea that Steve and Alex unleashed something terrible that they can’t escape

the scariest thing about this is that they managed to doge the warden scream

if the battle against the warden had a soundtrack:

Turns on peaceful mode Warden: AHHHHH💀

Ngl the concept of the entire cave lighting up for a moment and then literal screams being heard as a blind monster pulls itself out of the ground near you is an absolutely terrifing idea that i would never have believed would be in vanilla minecraft

this is amazing and captures the entire vibe of the deep dark so perfectly also warden goes brrrrrr

if the warden can go through a blocked wall im never gonna outrun this horrendous beast called the figure in miencraft 💀

Warden, you son of a skulk. I love this guy.

1:48 imagine how difficult would be the Warden if it could do that

the part at 1:21 actually gave me chills, congratulations

I can only imagine how hard it would be for the Warden to shift through walls!

It’s honestly really pleasing to see an old studio like Element Animation go from making fun little Minecraft animations to being fully integrated into Mojang’s staff and producing the most beautiful features for their main events. The singing voice I also loved.

Something we didn’t ask for but we all needed

"The Warden will rise, it has no eyes" must be one of the best song lyrics I have ever heard.

They need to give the warden the ability to pass through walls alongside its other abilities, and they need to add yellow mushrooms like we saw them block the tunnel off with

1:31 May you rest in peace Bat number 451208 you will be missed and your sacrifice shall not be in vain

"The Warden will rise; it has no eyes" hits almost as hard as sonic boom hits hardcore players

Okay but SERIOUSLY as cool as the "sonically charged shriek" is, how much cooler would it be if the Warden could actually dig through walls like that??? 1:46

I wish we had a TV series or movie with this kind of animation style.

imagine if the warden actually could go through wals like the last clip . that would be amazing

I'm getting Nightmare Before Christmas vibes and I love it!!!

Wow I never knew that the warden could sing XD

When you realize this is a TRAILER, meaning the warden might soon be able to walk through blocks…. THERES NO TIME TO REST

I like it! It gives me Nightmare before Christmas vibes.

1:51 THE LEGENDARY COME WORD

this is unbelievably catchy, such a nice song, the singer needs a raise!

I can''t believe they hired Element Animation for this, i mean they deffinitely deserved this! This is sick!

No matter how many times I go, ancient cities always give me heart attacks.

Therapist: singing warden doesn't exist, it can't hurt you Singing warden:

Wow, who knew the Warden would be such a great singer!

That part when the warden rugged out of the wall at the end. That animation was SOO WELL MADE!! AMAZING JOB MINECRAFT!!!

0:56 Actually made me laugh XD

Who else wants this on spotify ASAP?

This is how I want the minecraft movie to look like

1:13 And it can find you with one.. SNIFF.

I love how well produced this is, I need a full album now!

1:35 main character advantage

I'm glad that the warden was designed to be a punishment and not an enemy

Imaging actually trigering that much skulk sensor with just activating one skulk sensor 0:26 I'd be terrified

Just add a hidden area to the ancient ruins, optionally give it a unique chest that can’t be crafted and put in it a song meant to put the Warden to sleep when played - a lullaby.

1:18 Steve doesn't have a beard, next scene he does. Wonder why?

I would Like the Minecraft movie to be animated Like the game trailers and for this theme to be used in the movie

The particle effects from when the warden phases through the wall! It’s so well animated! Dang! Props to element animation!

Rob Marnell has an AMAZING VOICE!!!!!!!!! Thank you, Minecraft and Element Animation!!! More of his vocals, please!!!!

Love Element Animation, so that confirms that he's not exactly digging through the floor like we thought. He's phasing his way through it while he pulls himself up.

Warden:come down to the dark Alex:who sings here? Steve:i don't know?

This feels like an old song that the ancient civilization Made.

The singing was beautiful, this was amazing as it captures the feeling and aura of how the deep dark is.

0:58 "The warden has no eyes" Best part of the song

since they added a warden Minecraft become a horror sandbox game

I would love an extended version of this song :0 the chorus could be from “You steal and you roam” to “you cacophonous pest”

0:11 steve did the the rock 🤨

Alex: Phew, I got the shard. Chest: I'm about to end this whole man's career

Warden backstory: the ancient city was a placed that was always attacked so they made a portal to summon some wardens (which means guard) so they could be safe. The wardens have a special way to protect the city, which is to turn them to sculk, the people didn’t like it, so they killed all the wardens except for one, which wanted revenge so he killed every person that entered the ancient city…

Only Element Animations could make something this wonderful!

The song we didn't know we needed 🖤

I would not be surprised if it turned out that you created this beautiful song for 10 months and a month they created new things for the game itself.

This sounds like something you’d hear in tim burton’s nightmare before Christmas

1:08 dont mind me.

after 10 years this game still never fails to amaze its community 💯

Element Animation is still one of the greatest Minecraft animation groups ever!

Element A is amazing at these tbh

0:53 My favorite part

1:25 I love how they made fun of the weird interaction between a warden and a bat by including it in the video
