happy birthday firestar warrior cats I love you

a little animation to celebrate the 20th anniversary of warriors!! I can't believe these books are older than I am
This animation is just a little compilation of iconic moments from the series that I particularly like! I originally had a much longer and more complex animation idea but I didn't have enough time and I was afraid of burnout so I ended up going with this instead. I know I animate a lot of warriors obviously but I wanted this to act as a proper tribute to the book series overall :))

however much I joke about not liking these books or whatever they really do mean a lot to me, and discovering warriors and the animation community in particular really was a safe haven for me when I was younger and inspired me to study animation, so I'll always cherish the books because of this despite the fact that it's been a while since I've read one haha. I really do enjoy making warriors animations and I really appreciate you all for sticking around on the ride and I hope you enjoy this one!!

also fun fact. the first time I remember crying at a book was reading Bluestar's death when I was nine. so naturally I had to include that. shoutout to my nine year old self
