I used to watch this when I was little so many memories ! I absolutely loved this animation, I’m glad I can finally see it again.
Samee!
Fr same!😊
What I love about this story is that it didn't waste the viewer's time. You immediately get what's going on. Boy is planning something. They're stuck. He and the girl are obviously into each other by the primping and the emotions when they failed to be together. The goal with the diamond. The dangers, etc.
I was watching with so much anticipation when he braved the dangers of crushing gears and chains. A part of me, who had watched animations for so long, knew this could end badly. But I love the bird in the end, I don't think anyone expected that.
I love this animation it shows what some must give up to gain the love or trust of others
Out of curiosity and because it sounds like you all have a lot of experience, what are some of your top favorite animatics/shorts and why?
I think it's beautiful he works so hard try to reach her and put her heart back to her body in the break came and save her I'm time he came to save her that's a happy moment 😊😊
Same here I was willing the sorry to end happily
*story
I love this so much. She trusted him and gave him her soul in the maybe chance that it would work and mean for them to be together. Everything about this short story is perfection.
I would love to hear a serious, thoughtful analysis about this. Theres so much in it. Her being literally elevated, with a much nicer place than his...her heart, in a way, in her chest while his was at his feet...the bird...the fact that they always met but never within reach of each other.....I want to know how other people think about it.
Thank you for allowing the story to remain positive all the way through. It could have turned south at so many junctures.
and after the two left the frame they were caught by a hawk on a bright summer day

LOL junctures?! don't you mean junctions?!
Dont you just hate it when you buy a clock, but the parts become sentient and break the insides all to hell, and then fly out of your window on a wooden bird?
Scruffles De-Brickashaw yeah... it's becoming quite vexing, no?
Yeah I know right, that's the fifth time this week that's happen to me.
Scruffles De-Brickashaw ikr! I just hate that!
Omg, right?? All the time with that!
Scruffles De-Brickashaw that's happened to me so much I just stopped buying clocks. Haha
“Wtf happened to the clock joe! The bird, lady and man are missing from it!! God damn cats.”
Where’s my seltzer water?
4 years late but lol
"Give me your heart, and I will bring down the world to reach you"
Great, now I'm crying. Thanks, I hope the year was good for you.
And now shes dead
That’s da feels right der
bb
Well that's pretty selfish, what about the workers! The economy will crash! Nooooo
I will never get sick of this short.
So that's how my clock broke... :/
you got a really dirty house
@@lqueen6232 รกรื
I love that she trusted him with her heart and he came through!
I didn't expect the cooperation with the bird? What a trip!
Finally a wholesome short with no gore but a happy end without cringe!
I've watched this short animated film so many times and still can't help but fall in love with it even more every time! It's so touching!
I hope there's a sequel about the band breaking out.
Heynicetie the band is dead man, nothing can help them
THEIR is
I know lol. They're still there like wait, ....thanks for helping us get unstuck lol, no kidding
Heynicetie q
Heynicetie its Pinocchio but the women is ded
This animation is so beautiful, especially since it’s mostly the sounds, music, and song helping the animation along. Just shows you don’t need to make the characters speak for the animation to be good.
the musicians being like: those fuckers really gonna leave us behind
max mustermann what about us douche bags hey don't leave us
So THAT'S what they mean by "time flys".
LOL thx for the laugh XD
Oh the puns!... XDDD
Garry Kennedy omg
XD
😂
My only thought was at the beginning. If that does not have a happy ending
I will cry like a bitche
Kitsune Shinigami sameee
Kitsune Shinigami Nice fox picture!! :)
thank you :3
Kitsune Shinigami your profile is so cute
(*ゝω・)ﾉThanks Chuuu♪
Love hurts sometimes but it's what keeps us striving higher sometimes. Love can over come anything no matter what is blocking your path.
this is literally my childhood bro .
Lol why is her place so much nicer than his?
dayy11609 Because he is known as the poor man.. While she is known as the rich girl of the city
dayy11609 how is it lol
Mr. Foximus what city are you talking about?
Mr.meeseeks Auchwitz
Mr. Foximus your profile picture really describes what your saying
Even wooden dolls have a better love life than me
Update: I got a girlfriend uwu
Im sorry. Youll meet the right person someday
SAME!
ㅗ로러수혀
I was the 199th comment
CHLOE CHAN il
This is a great story- a man who is willing to do anything to be with his lady
When they come out of their parts of the clock, the man is like “Already? Time goes fast.”
What if someone closes the window right when they are about to fly out haha
Creative Tone I guess they would've had bad timing 🤣
Creative Tone Lolz
The house looks like it's a banded
If they did that I would play All around me are familiar faces
Your so evil lmao
What a wonderful life be story that was told within just a few minutes! This film had it all; love, intrigue, sacrifice, and adventure. Well done!
The song made it 10X better
he's always at work and she's at home, so much meaning in so few minutes, that's what I like about animations.
Musical score was just as impressive as the animation & story.Great voice blending.Thank you for brightening my day.
Yes,great music. Says it's an award winning music video, pity it never made it bigger in the music market. Still, some stuff seems to disappear when released, then becomes a sleeper hit later on.

Lyrics of this beautiful song--
Little darling can't decide which dress to wear or what to buy
She's still working out
when to sit stand kneel or lie
And all these back and forths These tos and fros
These wonder whys
These sullen lows and happy highs
Are marvellous to me.
Little darling toss and turn
She's restless in her bed at night
Ruby lips and blue-green eyes
They sparkle in the sunlight
And all this mixing pot Of bumble bees and laugh-a-lots
These whatsis and soever-whats
Are wonderful to me.
Oh Darling, wait little darling
Little darling wakes me up
To truths we see between the lines
Slaps me in the face
And tinkers with my little mind
And there's no absolutes or arrogance or double binds
No pretence that she hides behind
She's marvellous to me.
Little darling toss and turn
She's restless in her bed at night
Ruby lips and blue-green eyes
They sparkle in the sunlight
And all this mixing pot Of bumble bees and laugh-a-lots
These whatsis and soever-whats Are wonderful to me.
Little darling, wait little darling...
what's name of this song?
Thank You so much i'm Brazilian and now i can translate this beautiful song :D
@@chauomega6365 mm 4 years and i dont find it
Châu Omega It's " Little Darling by The Secret City "
You are a gem❤
Surely just waiting until the clock brought you both out to meet again would have been easier and a lot less destructive.
This was one of the first videos I saw on CZcams when the video first came out, I still come back every now and then
2:34
it seems like they have been together before look at the photo on her desk
Mkay. I've watched this i swear 8 times already and I still can't get enough of the animation. It's so cute and full of expressions! :0
...
I will now forever respect my Coocoo Clock.
Lol they just left everyone to be stuck forever. "By guys! we've just freed ourselves. Have fun being stuck forever unlike me!"
Jk it was absolutely adorable.
The man that we follow is not afraid to show his love even if it means sacrificing his life for the one he loves and when he finally gets free he goes through hell and high water to get to her and when the time was right he didn't give up
What a beautiful love story.
The fact that there was an ad about some musician that sang "hey little darling", Just my luck
anybody else rewatch this 10 times just to jam out to the song?
Me at 9 o'clock: one more animated short film
Me 4 o'clock in the night: ok, one more
Omg this is kinda funny because of the music my sis was dancing to it lol😂😀
Ok, this is who the main characters remind me of upon first glance.
The Man: JackSepticeye + Manolo Sanchez
The Woman: Courtney Cox + Camilla Cabello
Who do you guys see?
Btw...This gave me a lump in my throat... it’s beautiful! 🥺💖
I like the last bit when the girl and the boy were flying away.
and... they ended up crashing into a tree....
XD
R.I.P
Out of nowhere a hawk grabs them lol
omargoldeyes
but they crashed in love ❤
That's really sad. T _ T
This was one of the most beautiful animations i've ever seen
3:30
Me : He's a parkour legend
Watching this make me want to find a wooden man instead. 😁Which means brave enough to fight against all odds. 😁😅
Awesome! Great storytelling. Glad it wasn't tragic, which seems to be the common trope now. Very creative and original.
Still a better love story than twilight
LOWKe yi who is twilight??? People keep saying it’s a better love story than twilight. Who’s twilight???
Demøn Felina what’s it about?
Demøn Felina I looked it up it’s about a vampire and a human falling in love. I guess that movie’s crap 😂😂😂
2 Cool 4 Sans :3 it’s actually really greattttt
Who's twilight you mean from mlp
You really captured The Secret City’s essence
And this is how your clocks get broken.
I felt sorry for the other wooden things, they had to stay there still😢
Those two romantic love birds.
They get to see each other once an hour, I see my grandma once a year.
definitely one of if not thee healthiest relationship I've ever seen in animation
This was very cute. Well done!
Two hearts together can free a person 💕
This is the best thing since things got better than they were.
Matygoo Yeah and it’s still good
How fascinating!
It's almost like the clock maker knew that the little wooden figurines would gain consciousness, seek to be together, and seek freedom in making a figure's platform which is unlockable with a smart part held within the other figure's body!
Amazing! 🌈
This shows the true meaning of love.
🍃CMMeetup, Your short stories, and animations, some without words, have made me feel more alive. Your visuals are quite clear, have made my day beautiful. For the last hour or so, I could not stop watching your. videos. I want to thank you for all the spectacular...weird, in a good way, mystical storyline and putting a smile back on my face. It's truly anazing what a little imagination and a creative crew can do.🍃
My real name is Elizabeth Guerrero
You don't know what love makes people do 😍😍😍
What a lovely story told so wonderfully through magnificent animation. Thanks for sharing cgmeetup & great job big cookie studios.
animation is amazing and the song is brilliant and I can listen to it all day!
An absolutely beautiful animated story! Well done!

Her diamond was his freedom. That part got me.
I really love this one. The way I think love should be. Thank you.
if they escapped, what about the musicians? I feel bad for them three😭😭
I like how the band has been sitting at their instruments for the same time those two have and when those 2 finally leave they're just like "bye"
True Love conquers whatever may try to kill it. 💞🎇👍
You have no idea how much I loved this when I was small.
I listened to this when I was 10 and here I am listening to this at the age of 14
Very well done....I enjoyed watching this

621 people didn't like that their clock parts became sentient and flew away on a wooden bird.
Some Bioshock vibes over here
Pinocchio is just trying to get to his gf and he was so close to not getting the g

This was my skibidi toilet
wat
😱 omg
Kid from 2024
Real
Skibidi toilet has ruined children. I am a child but I do NOT like skibidi toilet at all because I’m not brain rotted
So that’s how these clocks break...
Ate que a história ta muito bem feito parabéns 😊:) sorria
Omg I saw this video when I was 5 and I found it again this gives me memory
Such a heart warming little gem! 😇❤🐥❤👼
This is exactly how couple who are individually bound to their jobs could break free:
We communicate, though things may seem difficult; we both intimately involve our hearts; and then, we obtain our freedom to be very close together again. Both of you must strive for the freedom.
Fantastic video incorporating the inner workings of an old-timey clock with the possible worlds of the elements that comprise it.
1:37 (music plays)
It's so romantic when he risks his life for the love of his life, he could of die because he risk his life for her. Love is in the air, so romantic!
for me this is the definition is of LOVE
Wow, the Showdown Bandit DLC is lookin' sweet!
I love everything about this from the creativity to the art
"Your heart is the key to my freedom"
Facts
With animation this good you can make a MOVIE!!
NOW WE KNOW WHY THE CLOCK STOPS WORKING.
i am cryin'
Jack The Ripper why you crying
This was cute 💞
That dude is good at throwing paper planes
As soon as i saw the inside of the clock, i immediately thought *its the little things that matter.* I have no idea why.
