Hi folks, Martin here. 1 million views have been reached quickly for what was the most important project I ever created. The amount of love and support from so many of you has been unfathomable. It being Thanksgiving here in Canada, I want to express my gratitude like no other.

It's been a year since the best animatic of my all-time fav char released, I'm still in awe of it.
To express my love for this incredible project I did a redraw of one of the frames - the one I laughed aloud at during the premiere! Thank you @ArtOfAlexH @ElEmGeeWun @MartinLis93🧵

@KRoolKountry @BootlegDubProd Good gravy has it been one year already?

[Kremling Kampaigner @KRoolKountry]

One year ago, Return to Krocodile Isle debuted and became the new pinnacle for DK fan content. It’s a miracle something like this got made when you hear about all the upfront work involved. To this day, rewatching has helped tide me over in the long wait for DK’s return.

This was a surprise #1, thank you Josh. All of them were tremendous entries and some even influenced our song!

The track credits goes to our main composer @JDM_Score , he deserves the attention for everything he did. Please give the support to Joshua!

Guys, I PROMISE this is real. If I was making a joke video, you'd KNOW; I am NOT a subtle person!

Special delivery from @BootlegDubProd! Return to Krocodile Isle is not only a beautiful love letter to Donkey Kong Country, but it remains one of the most impressive fan videos of all-time. Thank you for allowing us to be involved. We can't wait to see what the team does next. ❤️

[Stuart A. Hutson - Voice Actor @ElEmGeeWun]

This is the series that inspired @MartinLis93 and I’s choice in art direction for ‘Return to Krocodile Isle’ when we were seeking out animators who could take on the job.

[Bootleg Dub Productions @BootlegDubProd]

Always nice to see new sparks of interest in what our team made together. We're very touched in knowing how much this means to people every time. Thank you to all support of the fans, both new and old.

[DK Vine @dkvine]

Had a lovely surprise waiting for me in the mailbox straight from Crocodile Isle. Thanks to @BootlegDubProd and the krew of "Return to Krocodile Isle" for the gift!

[Bootleg Dub Productions @BootlegDubProd]

@KRoolKountry Here's hoping for an end to this decade-long abscess.

An absolute masterpiece of love and craft from the @BootlegDubProd team

An amazing project to be a part of

[Bootleg Dub Productions @BootlegDubProd]

We've been gifting our team with some personal promo items to show our appreciation physically too. The bottles designed by Jim were part of our collaboration with @debcomarketing Thank you for helping create this little staple in Klubba's Kantina.

[Bootleg Dub Productions @BootlegDubProd]

Appreciation thread for our amazing team from DKC: Return to Krocodile Isle. I will be posting on each phenomenal collaborator who helped make this reality happen.

For the first portion, I'd like to focus on the folks behind our unique promo bumpers.

[Bootleg Dub Productions @BootlegDubProd]

Our graphics have been done by @jimbob_cratchit, who designed our employee gifts in addition to the gorgeous title logo (on his first try!). You may recognize Jim's artistry from his time at Nintendo with iconic logos like Animal Crossing, Metroid Prime, and Ocarina of Time.

[Bootleg Dub Productions @BootlegDubProd]

Jim is a remarkable gent, artist, and aspiring voice actor who deserves praise for contributing to our early gaming memories, which also includes the game manuals, packaging, and so much more. Please check him out at https://t.co/KZQrNCa3T0 if you need someone for graphics or VO!

[Bootleg Dub Productions @BootlegDubProd]

Jim was introduced during the development of FZO, where I learned he was also the voice of Mr. Zero from F-Zero X and had him cameo. Since then he's brought his expertise to our amazing team with our logos and our "Krem Reaper" bottle design exclusive to our team.

[Bootleg Dub Productions @BootlegDubProd]

You may also recognize "Autonetic Highway" from our CotCC promo and F-Zero Overdrive's intro with "Angel of Death". I had the honor to see her perform live recently and she's delightful in person as she is talented. Please check out her work if you could:

His craft is a spectacle, unsurprising given his vast industry experience with Visual FX (costume, creature, fabrication, digital, versatility is endless!). You may recognize his work from Lil Naz X and Lovecraft Country. You can view his demo below.
