Rick & Morty fans, rejoice!

One ambitious fan has brought you a brand-new episode of your favorite show. Sure it’s only a minute and a half long, but it’s in stop-motion—and Rick & Morty creator Justin Roiland himself voices the characters.

Animator Dieter Wagner—better known on Reddit as user kungfudork—didn’t expect to get Roiland involved when he started his stop-motion fan video five months ago.

On June 25, he tweeted a preview of his work-in-progress: a photo of the two main characters in clay form.

Wagner initially reached out to Roiland to ask for the animator’s advice on how to correctly illustrate Rick’s mouth:

The show creator was impressed with how well Wagner captured the spirit of his characters:

This makes me realize I've been using the same type of mouths since 2003 https://t.co/x784i3wDzb — Justin Roiland (@JustinRoiland) June 30, 2015

And after seeing a test clip of Wagner’s stop-motion animation, Roiland (who voices both title characters in the Adult Swim series) was so impressed that he decided to lend his talents to Wagner’s short.

Wagner shares in a comment how the pair collaborated:

“I had done a test with my puppets that he saw and liked,” he writes, “so I just asked if he would want to give me some original audio. A few weeks later he sent it … I still can’t believe it.”

Wagner explains that the stuttering, absurdist dialogue was Roiland’s input as well.

“[H]e improvised [the dialogue],” he writes in a comment. “I did my best to sculpt it into a story.”

And the sculpting was incredibly labor-intensive. Despite having a runtime under 90 seconds, it took Wagner over three months to complete.
