History YMMV / AnimatorVsAnimation

* JerkassWoobie: Yes, the Animator's technically the BigBad, but given what a dangerous psycho the Chosen One is, it's hard not to feel bad for him and the icons who come to his aid. As a matter of fact, some viewers thought the Animator was the good guy.

* VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The animation gets better in each installment, but special mention goes to "Vs. Minecraft"--According to the BTS, adding the diamond armor to every character required hiring additional help(it would have taken an additional month or two otherwise), and in the scene when the Creeper blows up and launches around 100 arrows that were stuck to the dirt blocks surrounding it, he took the time to animate the trajectory and landing of each individual arrow rather than taking the easy way out and copy-and-pasting the animation paths.

* StopHelpingMe: Subverted. You'd ''think'' Clippy offering his help to the Animator would be quite ineffectual like in real life, [[spoiler:but he turns out to be a surprisingly competent fighter]].

* HeartwarmingMoments:
** The end of episode 4, after [[spoiler:the Animator makes peace with his Animation, and they begin working together to create even better animations.]]
** The fighting stick figures waving at the Second Coming [[spoiler: when the Animator refreshes them.]]
** At the end of "Animation vs. Minecraft, after [[spoiler:Red recovers from his DemonicPossession]], he begs the other stick figures for forgiveness and they all forgive him without a second thought, pulling him into a group hug.

* {{HSQ}}: [[spoiler: The Chosen One and the Dark Lord wrecking the Animator's computer at the end of Animator Vs Animation 3.]]

* StopHelpingMe: Subverted. You'd ''think'' Clippy offering his help to the Animator would be quite ineffectual like in real life, [[spoiler:but he turns out to be a surprisingly competent fighter]].
* TearJerker: That one moment in 4 where the orange stick figure desperately tries to save its friends from having their tasks ended, giving the green one a hug before it too vanishes.
** When the animator prepares to delete the havoc the Chosen One has caused in 4 and realizing that [[spoiler: everything this stick figure has drawn is better than anything he's ever made.]]
** In "Animation vs. Minecraft", when The Second Coming has a GoodTimesMontage of all the fun times he had with his friends [[spoiler:while Possessed!Red's obsidian mech beats him to within an inch of his life]].

** The stick figures: [[ArtificialIntelligence sentient beings]] tortured and enslaved, or simply some self-inflicted [[ComputerVirus malicious code]]? [[note]]This one has an InUniverse application, as avast! Antivirus recognized the Chosen One as a virus.[[/note]]

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: The Animator again. Again, he creates stick figures. Then you realize that he converts his second creation to a pop-up blocker at the end of 2, until the opening of 3. [[FridgeLogic You could take this as him testing things to create a homemade pop-up blocker that works the whole time he's been duking it out with his creation]].

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap / TookALevelInBadass: In 3, [[spoiler: Clippy. The usually irritating animated paperclip assistant from Microsoft Word]] held its own against 'The Chosen One' in a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown.
