    Throughout the flick, there's no explanation to the blue spirit things and other plot points, but they don't at all disrupt the beauty and perfection of it.

    So for those who didn't understand what was said:
    Girl: "There's enough wind for us to go!"
    Dad: "I'm staying... with your mother. Leave without us. Go."
    Girl: "I don't want to go without you!"

      MiniMizzie24 French is such a 'pretty'-sounding language, if you will---and I mean that in a POSITIVE-way! Just wish I'd taken more time in my schooling as a youth, and learned more about it, it seems to 'flow' so beautifully off the tongue, at least to me...☺!

    @CholYerlow Před 10 lety +29

    When the music and background noise compelling, the blend of cgi with a artistic hand painted flair is astounding, and the atmosphere is so haunting that the lack of explanation in the story doesn't anger you but highly intrigues you so.....
    THAT is masterful animation.

    Upon the world that broke and twine,
    Where cloud that wrought to void the shine.
    Beckon life that the girl would meet,
    Of world below the crumble greet.
    Strand of pool of mystic blue,
    That bore a strange and imminent true.
    Where water wash the ruin world,
    Shall sail above the cloudly hurl.

      Cedric Scorch when I was younger I would love to write poems, and I still do. My 3rd grade teacher made us write a winter poem, that HAD to rhyme. so I worked on it for a while, I was so frustrated. I finally finished and i thought it was really good, then... my teacher scolded me. so I never seemed to like rhymes ever again, but I do think it is a GREAT talent for people who can do rhyming poems that ARE good. And it is a good poem, sorry I dont like rhymes!

    • @eDrIClImOAnCo
      @eDrIClImOAnCo Před 10 lety

  • @hautxtalons
    @hautxtalons Před 9 lety +2

    I was nearly in tears at the end. Please, please, PLEASE, for the love of all that is bright and sunny say that you're planning on making this into a feature-length movie! Or a series perhaps... well I'm sure you're planning it all so I don't need to tell you what to do!

    @NightshadePanther Před 10 lety +57

    You guys should tell Disney how to make movies. I'm sure they could learn a lot from you! This animation was so intense.. emotional. It got everything and more of what Disney lacks these days..

    • @Mrweaver124
      @Mrweaver124 Před 10 lety +1

      Almost every one of there movies is about drama or they f**k up a old story before they release it.
      Tangled: Rapunzel leaves the safety of her life from an evil witch to love a thief.
      Cinderella(American Form)(And almost every other Disney movie: Girl loves a guy, or a guy from hard times loves a more easy timed girl.
      Princess and The Frog: Little bit different. Girl falls into a problem, guy helps with it and they fall in love.
      So, I don't even think Disney had old times.

      People are making disney seem so bad they have their share of great movies like lilo and stitch that movie was quite beautiful if you ask me it was emotional too also treasure planet fantasic movie beautifully animated sword in the stone and a sad movie called the hunchback of Norte dame that one was powerful in emotional levels don't forget mulan Tarzan plus disney has a fair share of sad powerful moments

    independent animations like this don't get enogh credit or attention. I say that we promote these gems as much as we can and share them with the world because these are works of art.

    • @hautxtalons
      @hautxtalons Před 9 lety +1

      I agree, the 7 minutes of this short made me more emotional than watching the entire 2 hours of Frozen.

  • @jessicaheppler2506

    this movie and its theme, story, characters, the whole works needs to be invested in my either Disney or dreamworks. its far too beautiful for it not to be made into a full length movie or series.

  • @purlayumi5434
    @purlayumi5434 Před 5 lety +2

    I remember watching this video a few years ago. While trying to find videos to watch earlier today, I decided to look through the 2,600 videos I liked over the years. I finally stumbled across this one again and I do not regret it one bit. I love the music in this animation, which helps to actually make me feel something even though this is pretty old.

  • @jadafonseca1546

  • @SHADZA4321
    @SHADZA4321 Před 10 lety +2

    The blend of the 2D paintings and animations with the 3D modeled characters is so well done and the music really sets the mood of the setting. I couldn't stop to wonder though, that this would be a great video game. As the girl seemed to collect the spores of energy to fuel the air ship, it would be a great action platformer or interactive storytelling.

      @googleslocik Před 10 lety +1

      Because not everybody are easily impressed and like form over substance ?
      Sorry but visual porn can take you only so far, at some point you have to put some story or some sort of narrative into the video, this one lacks that.
      You can enjoy as long as the girl is alone, but when they start talking the video instantly falls apart, with no backstory, no characterization, no character development or any additional information on whats going on you are left with only questions and no answers. What are the glowing thingies, whats the meaning of the talisman, why he wants to kill her, does he want to kill her ? Why are they flying, why the city is destroyed, is this the flood of the millennium ? IS there anywhere to go ? Why build that thing in a low positioned region, and so on and so on.
      Also its boring as shit.

    Hay cosas las cuales no es posible expresarlas con palabras, solo pueden ser expresadas con música; pero a pesar de esa imposibilidad el hombre intenta alcanzar ese lenguaje, pronunciar las palabras de esa lengua la cual no nos es posible alcanzar a algunos. Gracias a ustedes nos es permisible contemplar la maravilla del mundo mediante ese lenguaje que es el arte. De nueva cuenta gracias por tocar la música la cual esta alma usa para bailar, ya que esta alma joven debió bailar y cantar, en ves de caminar y hablar.
