Paige Foster is a young woman who’s created a fantasy world with the help of a magic pencil she was given as a child. She’s excited to show all her friends at school what she’s made, but her world is constantly under threats from her evil sister Pillow, an obnoxious wizard, and a mysterious masked man known as Mist. Together she and her friends must defeat these evils and save both her world and the real world from their plots to destroy art.
[[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Did we mention there’s a beatboxing puppy?]]
Created by the content aggregator Calobi Productions (who formerly used to make animated rap battle videos), this self-made indie animation film was released to very little fanfare. It only gained traction in mid-2023 following the creator slandering [[Recap/TheAmazingDigitalCircusPilots The Amazing Digital Circus]] while promoting his own film that had significantly less views than it. Uploads of the beatboxing puppy scene quickly became a MemeticMutation on Twitter and brought more eyes to this film for better or for worse.

!! ''Our Drawings'' contains examples of:
*AbortedArc: You could make another movie with the amount of dropped plots in this film. Calobi is captured by Mist, but he escapes his clutches offscreen. Pillow turns herself into a drawing because she doesn’t respect art, implied to be the doings of the magic pencil. This never happens to anybody else in the film as everyone else enters Paige’s world by falling asleep, and it’s revealed The Wizard was always a drawing. Speaking of said magic pencil, it never shows up being wielded by Paige nor do the villains try to steal it. The romantic teases between Paige and Hunter and Ally and Mickey go absolutely nowhere.
*ADegreeInUseless: As seen by the world this film takes place in, only art degrees, apparently. This mindset is strongly argued against by the movie’s pro-art stance.
*AdvertisedExtra: The main poster for the film depicts Paige, Pillow, The Announcer, an unnamed blue monster, and Calobi. Only Paige and Calobi are main characters or do anything to progress the plot. The beatboxing puppy is mentioned in the description for the movie and was given his own music video. He only appears in the film for about 10 minutes.
*AffectionateNickname: Albert uses “Loo-Loo” for Calobi.
*AllCGICartoon: Animated as such, with an ironic twist that the film discusses how 2D animation is often disrespected.
*VagueAge: How old are the humans, exactly? Paige is explicitly referred to as a woman in narration and in the description for the movie, but Ally’s concern over Mickey drinking on school grounds could also be construed as him being underage.
*AmbiguousSituation: Did Paige (or the monster she drew) kill Pillow? Given we never see her again in the story after the flashback, it’s a strong possibility.
** During a flashback, Paige brings up how she thinks divorce is bad out of the blue and follows it up by saying that her dad refuses to accept her. Did her parents separate because her dad was such an anti-art advocate?
** Did Mist [[spoiler: kill himself, or was him vanishing out of existence meant to be a visual metaphor for him quitting his job to find himself?]]
** Did Paige cure her disability with the magic pencil, or was she given the ability to walk again [[ItMakesSenseInContext because she wished to make her drawings come to life instead of wishing for something selfish?]]
* AnAesop: You need to actually try hard and care about a hobby if you want to improve. Don’t take the easy way out.
** Don’t be greedy and selfish.
*AnimatedMusical: And they’re all acapella songs, too!
*ArtAttacker: Paige, The Wizard, and Mist. It’s implied that Paige’s human friends are capable of doing this, but we never actually see them do it.
*ArtInitiatesLife: Paige is able to do this because she was given a magic pencil. She uses it to show her friends a puppy she drew that can also beatbox.
*ArtisticLicenseArt: For a movie talking about how amazing and great making art is, it’s grasp of it is a bit shaky. For starters art is a medium but it’s flattened into being a genre, with animation, concept art, and sketch work all being treated as the exact same.
*ArtShift: When Mickey is told about Pillow’s villainous schemes to steal Paige’s art, the scene suddenly shifts to 2D animation.
*AssPull: Mist using an “art style” to reverse his defeat at the hands of Paige just so [[spoiler: he can randomly decide that Paige won their battle anyways because he’s seen the error of his ways.]]
*AuthorAppeal: Acapella music. Every single song in the movie is sung in acapella, even the Beatboxing Puppy’s song. Also, art in general, as the characters constantly talk about how great art is.
*BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: The Wizard verbally and physically assaults a puppy just because he’s angry it can talk (and beatbox).
*[[BigBrotherBully Big Sister Bully]]: Pillow insults and mocks Paige and tries to steal her art out of jealousy.
*BrokenAesop: The primary moral of the story is that everyone has the power to draw and that you have to hone your talent to improve it. The Wizard, however, is just plain bad at art and is implied that he’ll never actually get better at it, tracing or art theft be damned.
** Mist is a villain who demands artists should deserve respect and be treated as kings and queens, and Paige tells him he’s wrong for being so selfish. But then the movie goes out of its way to call Paige a princess and worship the concept of art as the most impactful thing ever, so are they really any different asides Mist’s massive ego?
** So… it’s wrong when the villains are lazy and look for cheats to get around doing actual work, but when Albert does it, it’s apparently funny in an endearing way?
*CallingYourAttacks: “Beatboxing puppy!” and “Wrist Waters on my neck!” from the heroes, and “Art Style!” from the villain Mist.
*CaptainObviousReveal: Mist is Paige’s art teacher.
*CharacterShilling: Calobi only exists to talk about how Paige is the most wonderful selfless person that’s ever been and to defend her from any outside harm.
* DisproportionateRetribution: It’s implied literally everyone’s parents have all but disowned the main cast of humans because they all like drawing and seek art degrees.
** The poor beatboxing puppy gets his head stomped on and insulted because the Wizard thinks talking dogs are stupid and unnatural.
**Mist ruins Paige’s fantasy world because he’s angry she isn’t using her powers to take over the world, that she won’t give him her art, and [[spoiler: that he was ruthlessly insulted by someone for teaching art.]]
** Pillow programs Paige’s art into an AI generator because she’s bitter she isn’t good at drawing.
* EasilyForgiven: Mist decides out of nowhere that Paige is a WorthyOpponent. Up until that moment he’d been threatening to kill her and all her loved ones, destroy her world, steal her art, [[spoiler: and gaslighted her into thinking that she was in a coma and everything that had happened was AllADream. Everyone accepts this without any argument and they all return to the real world.]]
* EvilIsPetty: All of the villains turned to their evil ways because they feel slighted by incredibly minor things, whether it be not having talent or simply being insulted.
* FadeToBlack: Done constantly for no rhyme or reason, sometimes in the middle of dialogue or a song.
*FlatCharacter: The good guys are good guys that like talking about how great it is to be good people. The bad guys are bad and love boasting about being bad. Aside from Mickey drinking beer and having a short temper, that’s all there is to their characters.
* ForcedMeme: Paige saying “Moisty!” It’s even shamed in-universe, with Calobi telling her to never say it again because it makes people uncomfortable.
* {{Fratbro}}: Mickey and Hunter. The first chugs beer on school grounds in celebration upon seeing Paige’s beatboxing puppy and the latter says he’s “not here for a long time, just a good time!” This is the few bits of characterization that they get.
* GoodFlawsBadFlaws: Pillow is shown with a lit cigarette in one hand and a whiskey bottle in the other, and she’s a villain. Mickey throws back beer whenever he wants to celebrate and he’s a hero, even if he drinks it on school grounds.
* GoshDangItToHeck: The word “fluff” is substituted for a PrecisionFStrike. They only slip up using the word “hell” thrice, from Mickey, Calobi, and a French-accented marshmallow that follows Albert around.
* ImprobableInfantSurvival: The First Drawing takes the Beatboxing Puppy and The Announcer with him despite Calobi’s worries that the puppy will be injured. The First Drawing assures him the puppy will be okay because of PlotArmor, and sure enough the puppy is the only one that survives.
* InformedAttribute: In the title for the Youtube video, the film is stated to be about a princess. It isn’t, unless you count a throwaway line saying that Paige sometimes pretends she’s a princess and Calobi complimenting her by saying she is one.
**The Beatboxing Puppy’s song is jazz scatting and doesn’t actually feature beatboxing until the last thirty seconds.
** Mickey, Ally, and Hunter are all stated to be great artists, but we never actually see hem drawing, and they sit out of the climactic battle at the end.
* InformedFlaw: All of the villains insist Paige is a whiny brat obsessed with kid’s cartoons and her childhood that needs to learn to grow up. The only proof of this that they give is that she draws. That’s it. The wizard also insists that Paige is a psychopath because he hates the beatboxing puppy so much.
* InformedSpecies: The Announcer appears to be a stubby-footed, winged CartoonCreature, but he very bluntly states he’s a rock apropos of nothing during Paige and Pillow’s battle.
-->“Does anybody realize I’m a talking rock?”
*ItsAllAboutMe: Mist.
* NoNameGiven: The mute blue monster that helps Paige defeat Pillow. Odder still given that he’s given a spot on the poster and appears in the first 5 minutes of the film. A blue alien girl, a muscular man with an afro, and a ninja-wizard also do not have any lines nor are given names, but they’re seen dancing during one of the music videos.
* ObviouslyEvil: Pillow, The Wizard, and Mist.
* RandomEventsPlot: And how.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: Potentially Mist. See AmbiguousSituation.
* RousingSpeech: Parodied. Albert tells them a story about an avocado that lives in a pineapple that wanted to be brave. He gets bored halfway through telling the story and then instead asks them if they’ve ever put ice cubes on their shoes.
* ShoutOut: In his attempts to encourage everyone to fight Mist, Albert starts rambling about an avocado that lives in a pineapple under the sea. “Wrist Waters on my neck!” is a line from one of Calobi Productions’ old animated rap battles.
* SmugSnake: Mist is an egotistical OmnicidalManiac who constantly insults everyone else because he thinks artists should be treated like gods. Pillow is likewise a self-absorbed diva who thinks she’s too good to learn how to draw on her own, and uses AI generators and tracing paper.
* SpecialEffectsFailure: One of the scenes in the Beatboxing Puppy’s song isn’t fully rendered. None of the animation has resampling disabled, leaving the film looking blurry during fight scenes.
* TakeThat: People who trace art, steal others art to pass off as their own, or use neural network art generators are all a bunch of talentless hacks that deserve to be scolded and beaten up. There’s also a subtle jab in one of the songs at people who use art tablets instead of traditional mediums such as paper, brushes, and pencils.
* ThrowingOffTheDisability: Paige Foster was a paraplegic due to an accident when she was a child. It’s never explained how she became able to walk again, but it can be assumed the magic pencil she was given did something to help.
* ThrowItIn: The First Drawing’s entire ramble when Calobi comes to visit him is clearly ad-libbed.
* VerbalTic: Albert has a weird one where he randomly starts screaming in the middle of sentences.
* VocalDissonance: Calobi’s character model is clearly a child but he speaks with his normal adult voice. Albert also uses a character model that looks like a child and also sounds like an adult, with the addition of a Flula Borg impression. The beatboxing puppy is voiced by an adult that occasionally uses BabyTalk. You’d expect The First Drawing to sound like an old wizened mentor, but he instead talks like an average guy.
* WhamLine: Pillow revealing she’s been feeding Paige’s art into an AI generator. TheReveal that [[spoiler: Paige drew The Wizard.]]
* WhamShot: The powered up Calobi returning to fight Mist and his army of stick figures.
* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: Paige’s sister’s name is Pillow? Is her name meant to symbolize how lazy she is?
