Artist's commentary
The Apple Juice Song - A Kirby Animation
Are you feeling sad? Don’t worry, Bandana Waddle Dee is here to cheer you up with some Apple Juice! He’s singing about his training to become stronger and better. Some famous faces like Dedede, Meta Knight, and of course Kirby are here too, watching their friend doing his best to become the new champion of the annual Megaton Punch! Go, Bandana Dee!
I’ve made this personal project to test my skills in animation. It was done in about 5 weeks. I wanted this project to be just pure fun, to bring some joy during my days, and I hope it will make you feel better too!
There is no official English translation of the lyrics, so I made this one using different sources. There are some liberties taken, as you’d expect!
This project is also a tribute to my early days in art when I loved drawing some Kirby stuff.
Special thanks to Sara, a great friend I met online during those times. She was very nice and helpful while I didn't know anything about posting art online. She was the best!
