have fun! also if you want dancing dragon merch: sharkrobot.com/collections/merch-by-cas

I love the fact that Cas just saw everyone struggling to get the green screen and he just gifted this masterpiece

Nothing's better than acknowledging your creation's success and expanding it even further

It’s safe to say that this dance will now be immortalized in meme culture

Glad to see Driftveil City, music getting some love lately!

Cas has left his mark in meme history, proud of u king

You know how much more powerful a meme is when even its creator acknowledges it as a meme

i believe there isnt anything better than starting a meme, realizing it, and elaborating it further to make it even more perfect

Out of all the things to be cas’s peak of content, it’s this and I’m happy it is

I love how cas is taking his chances whilst this meme is trending to grow his community more cause he totally deserves it!!! ❤

Cas knows what the community wants

Years ago I never would have thought Cas would get to be a huge meme overnight, and that I was just one of a few people interested in a silly animator My faith has paid off

I must thank whoever made this. Because it has certainly softened my pain.

The fact that no one expected this to become a meme is mind blowing

I’ve never seen a meme evolve with so much effort

Cas not only taking the chance of expanding the meme so that more people reach out to his content but also puttin the green screen behind so that editors dont have a hard time with it, Cas, you're the best🐳

Raygun: "Here is my Olympic breakdancing routine" ALSO RAYGUN:

Cas knows exactly what is happening and is now enabling his community to create more content. Thanks Cas! You’re a real one!

Finally, a creator that embraces their meme potential, instead of running away from it!

I'm so happy to see this meme spreading like wildfire across the entire internet. You deserve the exposure.

And we all just stop and admire how GOOD of an animator this guy is

Knowing that this is a meme and creating different versions out there so others can use is literally the best thing you could’ve done, thank you for letting us continue what we love doing

in a year with some of the most confusing, brain destroying memes, I'm glad the year ended off with such a simple wholesome meme!

Congratulations on becoming the first widespread Meme of 2024. I have a feeling this will be the vibe for all of this year.

This has brought me an extreme amount of joy thank you

It's great how we get to see Cas embracing this even more further

We love embracing the memes, now he will dance *forever*

You know the meme is hella good when the original creator adds something to it too :D

Been watching this for the past 10 hours not even bored

As a dragon, i can confirm toothless very good at dancing

I love that Cas and the team are actively helping this meme reach its full potential and then some

Thank you for keeping the EDM spirit alive with such amazing content!

I'm glad Cas and the Driftveil theme are getting the recognition they deserve

We're all joking rn but can we talk about how well animated and smooth this is !? Edit : wtf 1 k already ? :) yall makin my day

Best meme ever in my opinion

Cas could let the meme die (in like a week or two) but instead injected new life with variants of the meme, truly an artist of all time❤

best meme EVER

I love when content creators realize their work has become popular and they provide new versions of the thing. Keep doing the good work!

I watch this at least once a day. It brings me immense joy. Most of the time, I dance with him.

Kudos and thanks to the folks who allowed this to happen and made a mark in history! I can’t wait for Toothless to possibly show up in other recap animations like Simba did!! Even if it doesn’t happen, silly dragon dancing will forever be in my head ❤️

I love how much effort has gone into this, really amazing to see the love and dedication put into these silly little animations!

I've seen this everywhere since the video came out. I thought nothing would ever compare to the masterpiece of the original. I stand corrected. This- This is beautiful

I’d like to give a standing ovation for the composer of this masterpiece, the incredible Miss Hitomi Satō 👏👏👏

I was upset about people ripping your content for their own, but I'm glad you're embracing this part of it and I hope it helps your channel!

i am extremely glad that this meme has popped off Cas' reach and popularity. as a long time fan i am grateful for your incredible art and talent, i always get a good laugh when Cas drops chillin has to be my favorite

I honestly didn’t expect the Toothless dance to end up being a big meme for this.

I'm happy that this exists ☺️

*I love how Cas has embraced the meme. We're all proud of him* 👏

This guy promises nothing and delivers everything we need. True MVP of the year.

Toothless is a worthy successor to the OG Driftveil Gecko. Glad to see this meme continue to evolve. This is gonna be the staple for this year, I’m certain.

Nothing is better then seeing old toothless dance:)

The creators had no idea what they released unto the world when they gave us this masterpiece. Now its power cannot be stopped.

Clearly a man who knows what they've created, and is running with it. Love dancing Toothless! XD

For Those Who Don't Know The Music Is The Driftveil City Theme From Pokémon Black And White And Pokémon Black 2 And White 2 Toothless Is A Dragon From The Book Known As How To Train Your Dragon

The variants of a meme that's became popular makes it even more hilarious. Good job on it Cas ❤😂

The fact this meme is a play on an older meme is insane to me. Cas, you are a genius.

It’s about time we get a recap of the sequel.

Something about the shade of blue with the headphone one specifically rocketed me back to highschool when the iPod commertials were at their peak. I forgot about them entirely. What a trip.

I love that the Dancing Gecko from the ancient internet history passed on his legendary moves to future generations. It warms my heart

As great as Cas’s meme is, let’s not forget that it wouldn’t exist if Driftveil City didn’t have the boppinest theme of any place ever.

I can watch this all day honestly, LOL

Maybe he will never read it, but thanks to cas van de pol for existing and giving us tremendous masterpieces.

I am so happy that you made a lightfury one! I kept seeing lightfury recolors where she only had one tail fin and it was driving me NUTS. These are all amazing!

I love that we even have Chillet's doing this dance now on the official Palworld channel

This is honestly such a great meme and I am glad that there are new variations.

Congrats on the success of the meme, your content has always been top tier and I’m glad more people are seeing it

The Dance Baby Dragon! From cat Dragon Dance bro!❤😂

The only animation creator who knows what we want

I like how he actually acknowledged that this became a meme and made it easier for people to use it

The animation of the dragon is an absolute masterpiece, a testament to the incredible skill and artistry of its creators. The attention to detail is awe-inspiring, from the fluidity of the dragon's movements to the exquisite rendering of its iridescent scales. Each frame captures the essence of the mythical creature with such precision that it feels as though the dragon has come to life. The animators have skillfully imbued the creature with a range of emotions, allowing its dance to convey a compelling narrative that resonates on a deeply emotional level. The vibrant colors, coupled with the dynamic choreography, create a visual symphony that not only showcases technical prowess but also elicits a sense of wonder and admiration. This animation stands as a true work of art, a captivating fusion of imagination and craftsmanship that transports the viewer into a world where dragons dance with unparalleled grace and beauty. The animation of the dragon stands as an extraordinary testament to the pinnacle of artistic achievement in the realm of digital animation. Every nuance has been meticulously crafted, from the subtle flexing of the dragon's sinuous muscles to the delicate play of light across its pearlescent scales. The attention to anatomical accuracy is staggering, ensuring that each movement is not just a visual spectacle but a faithful representation of the mythical creature's physiology. The animators have taken the time to breathe life into every inch of the dragon, meticulously rendering the details of its expressive eyes, the intricate patterns on its wings, and the mesmerizing undulation of its tail. The color palette is a visual feast, with an exquisite array of hues that shift and shimmer as the dragon moves. The choice of vibrant and iridescent tones adds an ethereal quality, making the dragon appear as if it's bathed in an otherworldly glow. The choreography is a true marvel, seamlessly blending powerful, sweeping movements with delicate, nuanced gestures. Each dance sequence is a storytelling feat, conveying a rich tapestry of emotions, from the fierce exuberance of soaring through the air to the tender vulnerability in moments of quiet introspection. What truly elevates this animation is its ability to evoke a profound emotional connection. The dragon's expressive eyes convey a myriad of feelings, forging a bond between the animated creature and the viewer. The music, perfectly synchronized with the dance, serves as the soulful heartbeat that amplifies the emotional resonance. In essence, this animation transcends the realm of mere visual spectacle; it is a symphony of technical brilliance, artistic vision, and emotional depth, weaving together a tapestry of fantasy and reality that captivates the senses and leaves an indelible mark on the viewer's imagination.

I think this whole thing is adorable

I could watch this for 10 hours and still not be annoyed of it. I absolutely love this.

I personally loved the angry one because it just looked so goofy and very relatable lol.

Driftveil theme has been stuck in my head for a month now, thanks Cas

How is this already nostalgic to me is literally in this year

Dude, the animation is so goddamn smooth. I know this is just for laughs but my god, that's talent.

The proper way to celebrate the year of the dragon. Love the silly little animation and its variants.

Nothing has made me feel happier in the past year than this singular meme. Astounding. Powerful. Amazing. Thank you so much for this little light of my life.

Thank you magnificent hooman for this ginormous splendid contribution to culture and society! 💚🐉🌿

with a single toothless dance, memes were great. Imagine what awaits us, with this happy dancing dragon family

This is going to become the most legendary meme right away, I bet. Thank you for being so generous to provide a green screen like this, it's very awesome.

I absolutely love the variation in these I can't imagine how many creators might take the short toothless and make his kids, dart, pouncer and ruffrunner! We could have a whole fury family dance meme.

The long variant is SOOO HILARIOUS!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂

god thats lovely to see that old music come up after all these years

We can safely say this guy loves his community

Something we didn't know we needed. But is going to shape a huge meme.

Just got my MAKESHIP PLUSHIE! Absolutely love it!!!!

1:10 I just realized he don't have wings in regular version.

I saw this in VRChat first, but I knew exactly who came up with it. Cas, you have such a distinct art direction and it's amazing. Keep it up!

0:58 *proceeds furious sick moves*

Dang, it's freaking nostalgic 😭

Honestly its awesome how this animation from Cas blew up into a meme, even b eterr is how they're encouraging it more! Happy Holidays everyone we love these animations!

There is something about this song on this meme that makes the rest of my day so positive lol it has such a good vibe

Que agradable sujeto, creando variaciones para darle más vida al meme 😄😄

You know, I love videos like this, because it reminds me that 2D animation is kept alive by the fans! Thanks for the awesome meme! 🥲 Keep the pages flipping!

I love when animators make 2D look 3D, it’s so cool
