I felt as though there was a metaphor, like she was afraid of growing up. Like although she loved her toys and wouldn't want to leave them, she knew that she couldn't stay with them forever. She had to face the storm, the tough challenges ahead of her and finally accept to be an adult.
Honestly don't know, just spitballing.
nail it!
That is a possible solution
I fealt the same
That's literally the description
Holy shit!! Lmfao, I forgot there was a description 😂😅. Proud that I got it, feel stupid that I didn't see it before. 😅
It's not just the childhood. In our life, people come and go. Sometimes most beloved ones leave us for no reason but we keep ourselves attached to them. Life needs to move on anyway. we must learn to let go of things that are no longer part of our life.
Perhaps we can find joys in being an adult too. We don't have to let go of that sweet part of us.
you can be partly wrong at the same time cause moving onn is not an answer for everything the people who we loved if they left it is the will of god but our role is to pray for them and always keep them alive in our hearts
trust me i have lost my father when i was 9 i am 14 now i have learned lots of things in my life and one thing is that we shoukd never move onn....
this is just my point of view...
this is heartbreaking but we must learn
@@rifatiqbal_
i don't think i can ever learn to move onn and neither i want to....
But sometimes it's really hard.
This story hits me deeper then I thought it would...it is hard to let go of your childhood and embrace the most current memories
Hi.. can i get a sub? :)

These kinds of animations are creepy and beautiful at the same time
I know right ☺☺☺
It very nostalgic to me
Emphasis on creepy
Omg her eyes
Same here
I love that even as an adult she made a paper airplane and threw it.
A reminder that we can still “play” as an adult. Woohoo! 🤸♀️✨
I understood that she wants to face the struggle of her life represented in the storm, she faced it with a great courage. Although she had dropped, she found her property came back in an incredible, interesting and amazing scene which she would benefit an unexpected advantages from them " her toys "
At final she became a wise old woman enjoying with the sea after facing struggles through her whole life.
I’m a teenager, and I admit I’m facing the same troubles as Lili... I don’t want to grow up, I miss the ignorance and innocence I had as a child. I don’t want to be an adult, but I have no choice. I have to face reality and let go.
Most of us are in the same boat that you're in.... Let's face it😊😊
It is hard. But for everything you have to give up, you gain three more as an adult. More personal freedom, more respect for your opinions and thoughts, and more privacy! It all comes rather slowly, giving you time to get used to it all, and more and more stuff is added as you grow older. By the time you reach 21 years of age, it will all feel as though it's always been that way! At around age 60, you'll find things chance yet again -- and if you've played the game correctly (and life IS a game), you should be sitting pretty as far as possessions go; a home, cars, boats, land maybe or a cabin, vacations annually, etc etc in return for the 45+ years of work you've contributed! The world today is NOTHING like it was when I grew up, but in some ways, there are fundamentals that have not changed. Find your niche, study, do your best and life will reward your dedication. Things you never thought of will suddenly be very importantly and you'll be happy you paid attention to what REALLY mattered: doing the right things. First and always.
But...it doesn't mean that we're not going to be doing dumb stuff like when we were kids. I had to grow up fast at the age of 7...and I haven't had the greatest childhood experience ever but I still feel like a kid every day of my club in I'm living and loving it. Hell I have the same stuff animal and blanket when I was a little baby.....so just because we're growing up doesn't mean that the fun ends there. Because if there's one thing I know is don't ever lose your child like wonder.
Just keep the kid inside of you alive ♡
I'm a teenager and I call myself a kid, even when buying clothes 😜
A lot of people in the comments say that this was ‘scary’, or the animation was.... Maybe that was the point? To express that growing up can be scary, and life itself can be, too?
Tiger Lily Kitty but it’s life, challenges that request from us different plans to share and rise.
Growth is not scary ,perhaps the doubt we show towards growth is.And thats why the barren setting of the video turns a beautiful ocean towards the end of the video. Probably establishing the hamonious balance btwn childhood and adulthood( b'coz though adult , the girl flies paper plane)
Life will make us grow… and here in modern life the biggest worries are school, and this part we’ll sure survive even if it doesn’t feel like it, cause we’re so strong.
It is amazing to see people today making, watching, relating and discussing what it is like to be human. That makes everything less creepy or scary.
I find that most kids can't wait to grow up and they try so hard at rushing it til they realize they are finally adults and reality sinks in.They are now faced with all the grown up problems and challenges,then then they find themselves wishing they were little again .
You always wish what you can't or won't have. Unfortunately. It's human nature. .
I am not a teenager rather a lady of 30 years. When I watched it, tears came to my eyes. I can relate myself to Lilly even in this age. I am also facing a storm in my life and miss my home, family and memorable time that I spent with them. Memories at times, prove a burning candle when you are lost in the darkness of loneliness.
Sending love to you Maria x
@@carriegaye3403 thanks
انا ايضا أعاني من العاصفه القويه التي ابعدتني عني ولم اكن كما كنت ملئني الحزن علئ الرغم ان عمري 18
What happened 😢... Can i hear your story
I'm weak.. But please Allah.. Remove all problems which i am facing..
Being such a small girls she knows that whatever way she might flee from her immediate situation, she has to accept the reality of life !!!! Love it
Growing up is an expectation we never escape. Excellently depicted. Beautifully relatable. Thank you.
That's really amazing, she took care of all the dolls when they were with her. The dolls too cared Lili more than her when she is with them. Finally when she realized that's just temporary after seeing the real thing. She has returned back to her place.
Happiness is always surrounded her 💓
I want that life back where my family are not getting old, where I can do whatever I want and don't need to worry about the world out there.
Being an adult sucks =((
Wow yeah I felt too. But Life must go on. :')
"I want that life back where my family are not getting old" My parents are getting older and that's the scary part for me.
This life is in paradise.......full of joy no worries..we ger whatever we want and wish...no tears ....with ur family.......
But where we are living in this world its not paradise....
I miss my mom.
Hard to say anything. I saw this for the 1st time the day before yesterday. I was thinking about my feelings, my current fights, emotional crisis in my life and I realized that this is about me. I am so attached to my inner child, to my childhood and the adult life outside is cold and cruel. For me, it also represents the way I escape to my imagination and dreams. To my own world. Thank you for this piece of art.
Same.
pray and Love from pakistan
I am 43 years old and I hope to live the rest of my time and I dream of traveling through the kingdoms of imagination for that child is inside and I never wake up
Sure, you will! :)
She choses to grow up and leave her childhood..Such a beautiful and emotional animation!😀😟😜
The older I grow the more closer I am to my childhood and can never let it go because that's how I am in my core, wonderful animation but the story touches only one part of the reality the other part needs a sequel I guess.
Umm,you can be an adult and love your toys at the same time,right???????
Right?!
Totally!
I would love that but for many ppl its not an option
Its explained in the Description
Lol damn right, I'm 40 years old and i still have (and love very much) a few toys 💜💜💜💜💜💜
Every phase of life,demand a greater version of ourselves.
we all had faced the same situation at some point of time🕐 , but we have to fight ,we have to conquer our fears and bring out a new version of ourselves.🤓
Moral of the story : do not be afraid of making change,life is moving on accept yours fears and convert into your strength🦸🌟.
Bitter reality.. Although time grants us many blessings but it also snatch many things as well..
This made me wish I kept my stuffed animals. :( Even as an adult it’ll be still awesome to have them even as home decor just to remember by how they meant to me when I was a child. 💔
El paso del tiempo, lo que uno amaba y el juego, la compañía imaginaria, nuestro mundo de ilusión... Que hermoso dejarlo ir con alegría superando miedos. Muy buen film.
I think it was the fear and the trauma she had from her childhood days as well as having the sweet memories which had to be let go after a storm,,, a storm must pass first for her to realize that it was time for her to become a full grown individual, now stronger and courageous 😊
What a lovely little short film. I like that it's open to interpretation, but I got the feeling that it was showing kind of a journey towards adulthood and finally reaching freedom from something in the past.
❤️❤️❤️lili is me.That I don't want lose my childhood.But then I thought I want be a child always that everybody loves me😓But I am 19 now I realise that till now childhood memories are the colurfull ones🙂.But really no one cann' t be a child always 😔
Her falling from sky to earth and leaving her favourite toy means now she is entering her adulthood and ready to face the challenges of life ,,land in this film is associated with harsh reality in the form of maturity and sky is absolutely associated with childhood,,in our childhood our thoughts fly high in the sky while in adulthood there is a sense of responsibility which we want to escape but all our efforts dash to the ground and we have to resign before the fate....
This animation is great and the story is touching and all
but can we talk about her mad paper airplane skills
like did you see how well it flew?!??!
She didn’t take long to leave her childhood behind. I’d want a few more years with my toy friends!
its hard to tell if its stop motion or CG.. looks like CG done frame by frame, respect. thats a lot of damn work.
I was wondering if it’s a combo of stop motion & CGI? The house & garden looks like a hand built model. If it’s all CGI the detail is amazing!
5 years ago...and today this popped up out of nowhere🥺.🥰.sweetly remembering my childhood days and realising how times flies...now am a mother of 4 grown up sons.
And I, on the other hand, see this as Lili fighting the demons of her childhood. Like me. I never want to relive with childhood.
I felt like this was more about childhood being ripped away violently. Then as an adult, making peace by reaching out for the good things in that childhood.
She nearly died in a hurricane trying to save her toys. She had a brief moment in heaven with her toys and decided to return to living and say goodbye to her toys.
Read the description it's called a sandstorm. They happen in sandy areas like the desert or Badlands
Anyone that is wondering, this is stop-motion. And it IS about letting go of your childhood. ( reading descriptions after musing about what I have watched, as well as reading others opinions - helps a lot with these short story animations sometimes )
I find this to be beautifully creative and intriguing. I felt drawn to continue watching to see what happens next. Really cool story telling.
This is exactly how my dream in a sleep goes
Lol
Same
She knows that imagination would never come true we have to face the reality
Often the wind is used to indicate destiny or fate, and letting go of one's toys is nearly always an indication of the giving up of the innocence of childhood and, perhaps, the clothesline might indicate service to one's family and home. I agree with Gisselle Reveles.
Thank you. So beautiful, that I cannot watch it whithout tears.Every time.
I am not sure if it is because of quarantine feels or because I broke up with my partner, but this short film made me cry. Especially when she chose to let go of the Teddy bear’s hand. It was so deep. Gosh. Pass me some tissues. I did not sign up for this
Get a life or a job
This is so beautiful! Can't wait to show it to my students!
1. The wordless singing at the beginning of the film made me feel like a child's soul was oppressed and not free, because children always dance and sing with lyrics even though it's meaningless.
2. In every difficulty, children always use their imagination and have fun in the storm. But that is only temporary pollution for adults, they have to face the truth, the storm. That way, adults can go through storms and create new dreams and hopes for the future, just like childhood has done for the present.
Letting go is part of growth process. Even though how hard and sad it could be, you have to and embrace the reality of adulthood.
WoW!!! this one really makes you take a seat and think about life, and the unknown that we face, she steped out on faith
La adolescencia... quien no sintio nostalgia cuando irremediablemente la infancia quedaba atras. Lindo film.
así es! me recordo a lo que sentía.
Wooooow amazing SPIRITUAL MESSAGE.!!! SPIRITUAL WAR then, was shown Heaven in her own joyful way, but couldn't stay there, had to return to the Past and SET IT FREE. So she can be FREE.!!!
That's what I received from it.!!!
BRILLIANT ☝️🙏💖
She's ready to fight with the storm to save her memories and childhood
This story felt me deeper.....And this is the reality of our life, we always afraid of facing challenges in our life, we always wanted to spend our life with our loved once, with in our dreams & imaginations but we just forgets that there is a practical life that we have to step in......we afraid to face that stage, we afraid to leave our childhood.....I'm also a teenager and am at the end of my teenage.....I'm going to be 18 now and I've already faced a lot of challenges and lots of them are ahead. I was also afraid of facing all this but now I feel, now I understand that we have to accept this reality and have step into this life, cause at this stage we learn about the life that what this life actually is, we to fight for ourselves, learn to face the challenges of our life. And this stage is essential for us.........
Now I love it....I love my adulthood because I'm starting a practical life. I'm learning to about myself, about my life, about the Aim of my life.........I'm growing up.....!!!!!!!!!
Es muy difícil para muchos de nosotros dejar la infancia, porque sabemos que nuestra vida ya no será igual, sabemos que veremos el mundo diferente.
Gracias por tan maravilloso film.
Fabulous little film. She aged beautifully but how sad that she had to grow up. Lovely film. Thank you.
if we are to enjoy the present, we must get our heads out of the past...before it is too late.
Growing up it is easy to stay attached to what one knows & what has been a part of our lives for so long but when reality hit her in the face when she landed on the sand you can tell she no longer was a child. Growing older does that. One year you're innocent & carefree & the next it's like I am a woman now (women will understand this).
What a creativity, salute to this creator. this short flim reminds me my childhood dreams. Memorable 😞😍😍😍. Thanks for this short flim
It's a difficult transition. No doubt. Well treated. Beautiful animation. 10/10. 👍

Did not wanted to grow up...
But...I couldn't stop my BODY!
Really this kind of stuff like being a child forever is never in our Hands...
This is so unique, I love it!
Hi.. can i get a sub? :)
This is beautiful. Sad to see that there are so many closed minded people here...
Lindo demais
So much was said without a single word being uttered. Magnificent!
…Fight for what you love, but know when it is truly time to let go. ..
I needed this.
I would have chosen to stay with the toys though. In fact that's what I did in real life too :D
WONDERFUL FOR YOU MY DARLING......😇😇🙏🙏💞💞💞💝💝💝💝💝💝
By far the most relatable animation I have seen in my life. As a teenager, I understand the problems Lili faces.
Whats wrong with u. Go get help
We always think of the loved ones till they pass on
I was in tears!!
this film hits me hard... good job to the whole team who made this animation. all the love.
The important thing we want to learn from this story is childhood life is like a heaven we have lot of friends we don't have either one enemy
no one wants to be old but the truth is everyone is to be old oneday we have to face our own problems by ourself no one will stand up for yourself except you. may be our friends and our parents can support us so don't afraid of your problems of being old. face the problem by yourself. live in reality not is reel
Nice change to see someone want to hold onto the beauty & wonder of childhood. I was always in a hurry to grow up & wish I’d spent more time embracing my childhood. Wish I’d also been able to appreciate the good parts of it more

Okhay that was a mirage in that hot desert...
I think there is a deep meaning in it..."Children are being deprived of their sweet childhood because of child labour. They cant play with their toys which are a different world for them , which can bring a long lasting smile on their face "
I remember never wanting to grow up, because I knew my step dad would make me leave right after high school. He did. I wasn't ready either.
Oww sorry to hear that! Nobody should be kickout until if they ready to..
And where was your mom😥

Creative and thought-provoking film about this journey called life from childhood to adulthood. Cherishing our childhood fantasies, facing our fears and struggles with courage and determination, enjoying the moments along the way, letting go of attachments and the people we leave behind, and facing our future with faith and surrender in what lies ahead. Very tastefully and artfully done. - Director, Lowson International Studios
my Spanish teacher assigned me this because we're doing a movie unit.... and I'm glad she did, this is beautful
same as me
OMFG what did I just watch! Oh God I don't have words to describe the greatness of this story! Extremely heart touching and heavenly! Truly amazing and breathtaking! OMG OMG OMG It is beautiful, great, superb, excellent! It is out of this world!
Can uh please tell me, what is tried to explain in the story
@@doctorzeenat495 OMG I am so sorry I just read you comment now on 9th July 2021 Friday!!! My humble apologies. I am sure there must be much better explanations but this is what I understood: She loved her childhood and her toys but was afraid to accept changes in life such as growing up / adulthood etc. Nevertheless she faced her fears and the storms and challenges in her life and leaned to let things go and be happy with the present!!!!
This was a fantastic creation with messages according to one's perspective. Not everyone's childhood is a pleasant experience which can lead to illusions instead of reality. An exceptional piece of work. I know it takes a long time to create this form, no matter how 'short' the film.

God this hits me right in the feels ;u;
I see Lili literally battling against the winds of change, unwilling to let go of her childhood and then finally accepting the inevitable. Sad, but it's what we all go through in the end.
i know right
The storms come to our life to rearrange our life to give it much more beautiful form than what it’s right now. When we stop fighting the storm and go with the flow then we create a sanctuary for ourselves in another dimension and also in this world!
I don't actually know how or why, but I don't remember much of my childhood stuff!
Childhood memories 😢
You cant go back to your childhood, but you can remember it.
Dang. This is something I had to go through. . . *sigh*
Brought back memories, almost made me cry a few times, a good animation no doubt about that.
Good job
Sometimes we need to be striped of the life we know so we can move on to the next phase of the journey. We’re carried on the back of previous experiences.
OMG I’m crying!
same
I love and felt this. Sorry but people that don't understand it just don't have sensibility. Love your movies 🌟🌻
The loss of childhood innocence is so sad but something we all have to face.
I was 18years old when I stopped playing with my toys it was hard for me two to let something go but Eventually i grow out of them and stopped playing with them but even though it a Small memory I think about it time to time because it was a good memory awhile it lasted
Jennifer Rosario બસ
how old was this girl anyway?
Where is her parents, and why do the house look so old
Yes ,,while watching I also thought the same
Maybe she is a poor orphan girl......
They are unavailable somehow, like a dream. There are several different ways that parents can be unavailable to their children, and it is a great loss that takes a great amount of strength and courage to overcome. But it feels like late in her life, she finally had grieved the loss and was strong enough to let it be what it was, not what she wished it would be.
This made me wonder where my now furless Teddy and 1 eyed little bunny are in this house I'd like to thank them for being my friends as a lonely child and always keeping me safe in the dark from the monster in my closet , under the bed and the meanies.
Everything we and others touch holds our energy so truly our loved toys are alive with our childhood essence.
Wow. First time i see the person who draw this. So amazing. Im adult but i still miss my chilhood toys
That's absolutely brilliant ❤️
Thank You for this. I've been struggling and I found this so exquisite - When a film makes me cry and I don't know why it is such a sweet and rare feeling. Thank you. Somehow I found this comforting. I think it is a lovely wee Masterpiece. Inspiring, in an odd way. I wish I could create like this. I feel the love that went into this, Thank you.
I wish I could go back in times.. I so miss my childhood..😞
Coming of age - to let go of your youth and to be a grown up 😢 and lovely too ❤
Read all comments about kids letting go of childhood. I thought this is some kind of a look into the minds of kids in war torn countries. How they try to escape from chaotic reality. The end shows how to have faith and hope. 😔
This could be a movie
I'm a child
& I'll never change
( I love laughing, playing, my imagination
is of a child)
Most people will never understand me
The broken abandon home, left behind and only toys of her youth,, parentless. Clearly alone lonely child without any parenting, the security of her toys were coping mechanisms, as she fought against the winds of change. Forced to face her youth and then forced to decide to hold onto it or let it go so she can move on into her adulthood. Then she falls from her youthful memories of abandonment. Moves on past the pain and begins to see the beauty of the once ugly place she lived in.
I got this video as 1st in you tube... I feel so connected with the video...
In video all the toys are the items I feel ... in Life.. .. the options in happiness survey form.... job, health, wealth, family, society, relationships.....
Striving for them n protecting them... n one by one u leave them... or they leave u... when nature blows the wind... in the direction SHE wants u to float into...
The last possession the paper with directions or map in a desert.. n even that she throws... off... I don't need it... nature or Self will guide me... 😇😇😇
I am sure... the person who created this video is I spiritual path... and Lily is the character of his or her own personna... n the journey
it's just that she looks so cute 😊 and everything she does appear so lovely 😍
8:54 - 9:05 - Arguably the best part of the video.
This reminds me of me and my 80s my little pony collection.😭💕
Story of my life..😔❤️
