That was absolutely gorgeous. The first scene made me shiver and hold on to my teeth, but everything was stellar. The actors are phenomenal, the little one is absolutely phenomenal; so much comes through his eyes! The story, the music, the composition, the backgrounds, the colors, the use of light and shadows, THE CREATURE and the acting choices made for them is genius. Needless to say that i loved it!
Nice job!! ALTer pinned your comment!!

Me too 😣
I love that even for a twisted monster who wanted children's teeth, it still helped the little boy. Shows that even the thing knows he deserves much better.
"It" Is giving respect to the little boy. (Because he's the mainc character.)
he gave the teeth first because she didnt have any

@@asmam3960 omg wtf he is cleary a boy
@@asmam3960 oh u asked about the monster its a she
Everyone is appreciating how good this was made, and I am too but can we also take a second to realise how sad this story actually is... These kids are so desperate to have a family, that they were ready at anything just for this...
alex this
THAT'S WHAT I'M THINKING!
This is just sad! I hate this way of adoption!
This is a master piece, I nearly cry when I see hope faded away from the boy face. He tried so hard, he noticed the first child who got adopted, had a bible so he bought one. Combed his hair, made himself clean so that the parents will choose him. The end just make me sad.
I cried at that part
I think this is the first time I see a mysterious voice that says "I'm your friend" and is actually telling the truth.
Yes.
😂
For real
U didn't need to spoil this bruh
@@Lol81913 don’t go into the comments when you’re watching it then.
So the nuns didn't realize what the children were doing to themselves? My god! Such a great film. Thomas' performance was stellar but it's also extremely saddening seeing the condition of the children.
Nuns are pretty much stupid tbh
@@Kkhloeee bruh
Nuns are asshole .some are rapist
Wait it was a nun?
@Precious Stacks they used props
When they told the kid they were going to adopt him, he was so happy and I knew they would see his teeth and think twice which was what hurt me the most. I just didn't know that they were all gone. Pulling on my heartstrings
I love how they portrayed adoption as getting new friend(s), it really tied together how the monster wanted to be Thomas' friend and the final scene honestly to me; looks like he finally got adopted by someone he can learn to like.
I feel so sad for him. I know this film is fiction, but this really does happen to kids in orphanages. They wait and wait to chosen for a real family… and get the same fate as him. It’s so sad.
Bro we know
Dude bro my name is imao XD
totally in the orphanage when the sink demon wanted my teeth, relatable
I feel you. I felt the same way
Hmm..
Man it broke my heart seeing him trying so hard to get adopted.
🥺🥺🥺🥺

almost made me cry. He finaly got picked they said no when they saw he had no teeth they said no, they could have gotten him replacements
I wish this will be adopted into a full length film. Worth the time watching. Brilliantly terrifying

this short film made me realize that...all scary things are not bad...its just the way they look... and deep inside is a friendly creature capable of doing amazing things
That also kills multiple orphans within a minute or two.

Hi Alter fans! It's Felipe Vargas, director of Milk Teeth. Thank you all for watching, hope you enjoy! I love reading your comments, lots to sink my teeth into...
This film could be a great movie. Congratulations!
Cringe and tearful. Rare combination to see these days. Congratulations, sir on a stellar short!
What does the title mean “milk teeth”?
Wow! Greetings from Brazil, Felipe! By the way, your name is pretty common around here. Milk Teeth is awesome, congratulations. Please, continue your job. Glad to know your work!
Great film! But I so hoped she would have adopted him!
We absolutely loved this twisted take on the tooth fairy! Added points for a truly freaky monster. 🥛🦷
Hi♡
What do you mean we?

Interesting a verified guy

The ending was so sweet! She gave him a tooth when he didn’t have any!
The child actor. Absolutely amazing!!!👏
The toothless boy smiling is forever ingrained in my brain. This film was brilliant.
ok da
📞📞❤️❤️
Would have been perfect had the monster at the end asked Thomas if he’d like to be adopted by it.
All in all, highly effective horror short!
@Vixen Lunastra same
That was what I expected. I was disappointed the monster didn't adopt him. I mean in the end he is left with alive with 1 tooth. I don't see him getting adopted any time soon with only 1 tooth.
Omg I was thinking that was gonna happen, or it would take him with it
It should have happened in the end I was waiting for that
_spoiler alert_ 🚨 🙄🧐
Wow!!! Whoever made this needs to start making full length films.. like yesterday. Absolutely amazing! I loved it so much. I like how it’s equally sad and scary. Loved the main character.
Not gonna lie the ending was kind of adorable. Kinda thought the tooth lady would ask him if he wanted to be part of her family though :D
Note to self: if the bathroom sink starts talking in a creepy voice, RUN.
Yeah me too
Yeah like y'all have seen "It" right
Nah ima vomit and add some soup into it,then I will wash it
Or brush and floss well.
@iKlaxy this is the funniest shit ever me too! And then the sink would be like oh well looks like her dumb ass died for me
The last scene was kinda cute ^ it gave him a tooth since he didn’t have any
she took all of his teeth
@@spiltkool-aid I know that-
But still kind of her to give one back - and she also spared his life.
@@Obsessive._.Genshin._.Person I believe it was he first tooth he lost aswell
@@Obsessive._.Genshin._.Person lol it probably was one of the other kids tooth you think that creature knows where in her mouth she putted that tooth because her bussines where at the top a lot of tooths and it was full of a black glue lol
Tf is he gonna do with one raggedy ass tooth? 😆
This is the most wholesome horror thing I have ever seen.
12分そこらでこんなに満足するとは思わなんだw
Well I guess ol' milk teeth ain't so bad after all. I mean hey she brutally killed like 20 orphans but at least Thomas has 1 tooth now.

It always makes me soo happy when the demon/ entity or monster keeps their word about being a friend, its honestly more likely then a real human keeping their word
the monsters voice is so beautiful
I love this. Was hoping that the creature was going to “adopt” the boy at the end somehow
Y e s - that would've made the ending 10x more heart warming 🥺🥺🥺

And this was launched the day before my Birthday 08/23/2003!
I just want to say, this was beautiful. Now I want to continously brush my teeth to show appreciation I EVEN have them. The monster that respected the boy, it gave me shivers and almost teared me up, completely beautiful; one of the most atonishing work I've ever seen thank you for giving me such a blessing day.
me:afraid of the dentist
also me:i changed my mind loosing teeth is scary but loosing teeth on the dentist is not scary
The ending was strangely kinda wholesome
Yeah
Exactly what I thought at the end
Ya same lmao, I was watching this with my family lol and only I found it wholesome but felt a bit pity for the boy , rest of them were disturbed with the story.
I will NEVER look at the tooth fairy the same way again. This movie was so violent and vulgar. I love it ☺
@Gilianne Estacio it's a good thing you don't 😂👍
I'm adopted from Russia and I stayed in an orphanage till I was 11 years old, I know how life is hell there and this short made me remind that I was so damn lucky 😂 I absolutely loved it in every second
This film was exceptionally made honestly the plot the actors the everything was awesome gave me shivers like in IT when the water was rising from the sink well done
This one breaks my heart to think of all the children without family 😭
😢😢Poor children of the past
Well not those bullies hell their actions is the reason no one would adopt them
Thats what you think of when watching this?
It’s the sad truth though, there is 10 parents looking to adopt per 1 child up for adoption. But they don’t get adopted because the majority of people want babies.
@@emilie2667 that's why my husband and I plan on adopting 2 kids over the age of 3 instead of having our own babies. It breaks my heart to think a lot of kids don't have a home
Moral: when you hear voices from the sink, check the plumbing...thoroughly.
Haven't you watched supernatural? First dump holy water down the drain then get your shotgun with salt pellet shells
Nah just blow up the sink 🤣
@@ooohhenrybmblm XD
or pour concentrated acid through it 😅
no u make friends like the kid
For me this has echoes of the little matchstick girl - the boys giving away what’s precious, not realizing that what they had was powerful until it’s too late.
The desperation of them all to find a family was so heartbreaking. Becoming what they thought was ‘right and proper’, sacrificing what made them unique.
Im sorry but this is the BEST short on this channel and could easily be made into a feature length film. I thoroughly enjoyed it as grotesque and sad as the film was. I definitely want more!
I can't even imagine there are many kids out there living without parents 😭. It's making me wanna adopt them all.
Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of children unfortunately :/
well goodluck taking care of them, just saying..
Its planned
Why do you want like a lot of children
@Rohan 12 and where's proof? not everything gotta be based on religion
Mainstream horror needs to take notes. This is how you make something terrifying and still interesting too. Alot of people think you have to have jump scares for something to be scary, but this had none of those and yet got to me so much.
SUCH A GOOD FILM. I HAVE WATCHED THIS SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY, THANK YOU!!!
This is a gem. Not as scary as your previous ones but still horrifying nonetheless. Great work
This made me think of the short story "The Moving Finger" by Stephen King! Which is a brilliant story btw. Loved this - beautiful and creepy!
Oh god....that thirty knuckled thing creeping out of the drain gave me nightmares.
@@brentage5000 Same here. I remember the first time I ever read it, I was quite young and was terrified. I'd avoid looking down the drain hole while brushing my teeth lol. I'm a lot braver now..... 😬
I remember that on Monsters as a kid. Was scared of the bathroom for years as a child
Excellent monster, horrible in the best way! Also the psychology of the tale and the actors, all in harmony. I want a part 2 and 3. Maybe one explaining how it came to be and a 3 showing what happens next.
😥😥😥
Honesty when everyone is taking out their teeth just so they can have money is really messed up
although wasn't that the point they wanted the money to get things to make them look better to the prospective parents that they wanted adopted from (or at least the main little boy)? (just asking)
@@CAMBY608 I know what you are saying all I am saying is I would take care of my teeth instead of getting money
well hay, atleast he'll get'a brand new set of teeth when he's an adult right??
@Jackelyn Downer yes I know. And they were extremely poor.
@@SilentEchoes91 _theyre poor not greedy lol_

@@enderwigin7387 im sorry... i didn't know it was so serious i meant it more like a joke i hope i didn't hurt you or something
@@Anarchist.Dictator no no don't worry, you did nothing wrong
4:47 I like how he just said “give her a tooth”
Bro this is my favorite horror short ever. It's like a dark fantasy. Reminds me of Pan's Labyrinth for some reason. But that part where all the kids where ripping out their teeth and the happy music started playing ruined me
Wow, this was really really well done! One thing I'm not sure viewers are picking up on: the film is called Milk Teeth, which is another word for baby teeth, and it starts with Thomas having one loose tooth that he "moves along" to try to get money...so, the implication is that probably most of the rest of his teeth were also baby teeth. Meaning, he won't be toothless forever -- he'll grow another set. That's probably not true for the older orphans, but I like that it gives the story of Thomas a little ray of hope. Someday he'll have teeth again...someday maybe he'll find a forever family.
I kind of wished it would've ended with the sink monster lady asking him if he wanted to come home with her and be part of a family
Yup me too!
Kinda did him one better. If there's only 1 kid then he has much better odds of finding a family. XD
@@Skarwind Excellent point
And stay under the sink to gain his teeth back lol
Lol
Aww but she was at least is nice enough to give back one tooth for him even though she is a demon
Don't know how you discover all these gems but so happy you do!
Just discovered your channel this morning & been bringing ever since. Great stuff! 🎃
So well done! That little actor, "Thomas" - incredible!
The fact he was happy at the end a bit, just made me smile, afterwards that- was scary! But great music, and graphics!
hello sir.
Squid gaming.
Hi
I really enjoyed this film. The story itself was engaging from the very beginning and was not predictable. It was sad to see how far the young boy was willing to go to get adopted by hurting himself ( and ironically, removing his teeth to improve his appearance to potential parents) The acting itself was very good, even in the scenes that had no dialogue. This was very well executed overall 👍🏾
I agree
0:12
c-can you *not* floss your teeth like tha- oh goddamn it!
aww, this is a masterpiece! i love the characters, and this story is just so adorable.
this was incredible, all of the actors impressed me so much. the concept was awesome and creative. i was cringing so hard when the kids were all knocking out their teeth, ouch.
Absolutely INSANE!!!
Hi
Yeah
@@thecreepybrother8707 hey
Você por aqui?
Cara que engraçado ter 4 respostas em inglês ai então um mano manda "você por aqui?"
The plot and the way they presented it out, perfection!
Omg this is so good. The first scene made me clench my teeth. The acting is so good, the little boy is so cute and good. 100/10 I showed this to mom parents (horror lovers) and they loved it. Now on car ride we watch it. So good
Incredible job!
The acting was far beyond amatuer - this was a work of art.
IT also creeped me out and that makes it even better!
I wondered what the hell the little guy was going at the sink. Was it floss or was he using some sort of saw? I figured he was bracing himself to pull a string to extract the loose tooth. Then it goes down the sink. Sounds like the sort of luck I had as a child.
The voice from the pipes sounds like IT's hot date from the night before.
@@NJPurling LOL, that's sort of what I was wondering too.
They put this together in a truly amazing way, with enough "WTF" moments to fill a full-length movie!
Spooky laddy adopt the kid you are a good mother! Ripped out her own tooth for him! That is true motherly love God damnit!
Weren’t her teeth basically his and the other kids teeth?
@@kamimargos1882 Yeah looks like she just gave him one of his teeth back. I mean he did bring more kids to her.
Exactly! I was waiting for this ending, the monster being his mother 😂
technically not her tooth bc she got em all from the other kids and stuff-?
am i supposed to take this serious or laugh-
this is the first short i watched and i enjoyed it. this is what it must feels like to find a gem.
I love it when the monster thing protects and befriends people like Thomas in movies
aww i love how the monster gave the boy a tooth that was so sweet
Yeah so sweet after it slaughtered all the other children lmao
@@drhtldr1587 i think the demon knows how it feels to be ostracized - and in turn it sees itself in the boy.
Okay, FIRST....as someone with soft gums, I was wincing just from looking at the thumbnail.
Second, that was a really great film, and it's kinda nice that the boy found a parent in the end (a demonic one, but still....they love each other, so what's the harm?)
Family isn’t bloood it’s the people who you love and ca trees for you
Cares
Brilliant! I was clenching my teeth the whole time as I watched, now my jaws are sore.
i heard the first wisper and said nope but i looked at some of the comments and decided to keep watching. im glad i did!
She could have escaped this whole time at the moment that Thomas screamed she was worried about him that shows that she cares about him.
honestly, this is probably the best short film i’ve ever seen. between the quality, the acting, the plot, like bro this shit should be a full movie. round of applause 👏🏻
the ending was actually kinda wholesome! LMAO. it was scary but cute
The end was so cute bc the monster gave him one tooth🥰😍
9:42did that kid just throw a teddy bear at that monster 😂😂😂😭😭
What a good detail until it sounds
@@lorgamer1203 I guess if you could try to distract it with a teddy bear, it would work, but at least put a rock or something in it
my best friends mom plays the lady who said “hello thomas” and was about to take him but looked at his teeth and shook her head, she also plays the voice of the demon. :]
Oh the irony
Omg it’s such a blessing to be born and have parents who care for us …..
Wow I got so emotional at the end which rarely happens. This was amazing.
U know, it wasn't scary... It was just about his life and his efforts to get adopted. Even that monster(?) wasn't scary. it just wanted teeth but when saw that the boy has not got any teeth, gave one of them to him to make him feel better.
And I also don't know why, but it was really nice and cuteee 🥺🥺🥺
And last but not least, I wanna talk about the movie... It was REALLY gorgeous.
Everything like the shadows, the actors, the music, the lights, the scenario... All of them were absolutely amazing and I really loved and enjoyed it!
Same. I thought I was the only one who thought it was cute.

Okay the first 10 seconds of this had me scrunching up my face and toes simultaneously. Jimminy crack that was rough!
I came because I literally just typed in a question mark in the YT search bar and got this as the first result..
_But I stayed because I got to watch a great horror short film that absolutely did not disappoint._
I guess that since the boy was the first person to gift her with a tooth, and thus the first to aid her in her starvation, and as such save her life (I am assuming someone maybe neutralized her a long time ago by ripping out all her teeth or something, and only if she was freely given ”her” teeth back would she be able to hunt again, or something?), she decided to return the favour in the end by freely gifting him one of her new teeth after saving his life?
Maybe it was even his first tooth that she gave back?
Or maybe it was just the fact that he asked nicely, while all the others just used her without ever seeing her as a living being, or a friend.
I first thought it would end up with the boy being adopted, only it would be by the monster who accepted him before he was the cutest boy in the orphanage, instead of those shallow people that came picking and choosing like the kids were cars or something.
I’ve never missed a day of brushing my teeth since I watched this.
Though the teeth removing sound was creepy, it's really worth watching... Superb concept, I just loved it... 👍👏
9:42 LOL That kid is so crazy with teddy
I guess dropping the tooth in the beginning would have been better than finding out there’s no tooth fairy?😂
I am so upset. Not because this wasn't good. It was amazing. I'm upset because I want more of it!! SO GOOD.
I felt as if someone's scratching my heart while watching him getting out his teeth!! 😬😖
Same when he was removing the tooth with the string it hurt my ear really bad
Such vicious teeth flossing oddly reminded me of an old cult classic. The Audition. ;D
this is literally a great horror film should get oscar
I literally cried feeling the pain of his gums😖
I wouldnt do this for exchange of money :(
When he tried to hiss at the monster was too cute
that’s a cool friend he left one tooth
Bro, this hurt my teeth so bad but this was absolutely amazing! I feel so bad for the kids without parents, but the creature seemed so nice..AMAZING film ALTER!
Here in my country, Indonesia, we have some traditional believing for milk teeth.
If the lower teeth is broken off, they should throw the teeth to higher place example roof or other, and if the upper teeth you should throw to lower place like river or water tunel 😀✌
Why do they call them "milk teeth"?
@@ilovecats4208 It's a common term for baby teeth.
@@sabotagethefool oh okay, thank you :)
In my country mizoram too.. But we throw both of them upwards
In Malaysia, we just buried them. ⚰️🤣🤣
