When a 7 min short film makes you feel many more things than a 2 hours film
That's because they killed the dad off. Though yay. More emotion than Hollywood
Jack Hollow i was scrolling through comments while watching this while guess spoiler alert
Wish there will be a sequel call "Rise of the United Space Force".
Lol i didnt feel anythink with this short
Almost cried when her Dad died
The lighting, toon shading and animation really made this 3d animated short feel very 2D. Excellent job. This is definitely very inspirational for my own animated short film that also has a theme of space travel.
Was it really 3D? I had no idea!
Glyph Therad yes its 3D
*Good luck on your short and wish to see it once its done. Hopefully I could get the level of this short to mine. Very inspiring, I'm in love with the details everything I learned in making an animation should lead to this somehow...Aaahh the feels*
Uhh rigging is so hard
Yeah, I wonder what program they used. Also the 3d modeling must've been hard with all those outfit swaps. Props to the animators!
most dads give his daughter the world this one gave his daughter the universe
Omg that hit even harder stop 😭😭😭😭
you are definitely right. but everybody aims on different things to become in the future like doctors teachers anybody. the main support that we get to achieve our goal is from our parents.
Jesus loves you
most dads don't ask for anything..they give their daughters opportunity to make their dreams come true..all they ask for in return is some love and appreciation and hope that you become a great person
My dad is a poop head I hate him🚫
I just found out I failed 3 classes this semester...It ruined me. My plan to become an engineer within 5 years just started to fall apart. After staying up most of the night and doing nothing the day after, just feeling horrible and sorry for for myself, I remembered this video. This animation. Took me a while to find it but when I finally found it...man...did it help. I may have fallen, but I’m gonna he get back up and work even harder! I’ll get that degree and become an engineer some day. Just wait and see.
how are you doing? It has only gotten harder BUT If your dream hasn’t changed then keep going, if your dream hasn’t changed, everything else that changes are just details
just wondering how things went! hope everything is good and you achieved your goals :)
Same here as an international business student. My exams start in less then 2 weeks and that's my chance to prove I did better then last time. Wish me luck.
We believe in you!
Soooooo we get an update?
**sees all the awards in the thumbnail**
Me: **whispers** *you*
*deserve* *it* *~*
porbunk pig Me: *_*screams_**** *_YOU DESERVE IT_*
Me: **Fangirl Scream* YOU DESERVE MORE!!!!*
*SCREECHES* YOU DESERVE IT ALLLLLLL
A father's love and a little girls determination.
Exactly! :-)
Yup
STOP MAKEN ME CRY
These were the ingredients used to create the PERFECT LIFE!!!
BRACE YOURSELVES THEYRE COMMING!!!
“Aim for the stars, but always plant your feet first.”
I'm not crying... *YOU'RE crying!*
I'm crying. Beautiful short.
no u.
Aight I cant do memes right now-
Gay boy
No....my eyes are just watering!
Jesus loves you
her dad passed before he can see her became astronaut :"( this made me thankful that my father passed earlier this year after I finished animation school and became 3D artist. he was an artist too but the economy pushed him to work in a desk job office and had no time to do art
Ohhh no time to art...a lot of people has the same problem u.u but thanks to you dad you can follow your dreams yo he might be proud of you
i’m sorry for your loss :( even so i’m happy you were able to successfully get into your career of choice.. he would be proud!
ness n +I'm sorry about your dad, but I know he's very proud of you when you succeeded into becoming a 3D animator.
I am an artist too, my parents are alive, but they're separated and abroad... And TBH, I know they love me back. But I feel kinda awkward and distant from them. We rarely talk, maybe it's their job or my forgetfulness.
But this isn't about me, your comment is the main topic ! I hope you moved on peacefully and is happy doing animations, when you bumped into hard times, remember to not look down and not give up hope ! Your dad is always there by your side being proud with your every succeeding move. He'll always love you for eternity ❤️
Do your best son. Ur father smile at u.
ness n I’m sure he knows and is proud of her, wherever he is. I’m glad your father got to see your achievements, I’m sure he’s very happy for you.
I'm not fcking crying
Yes u lied
Ahah, me too
We all are man
My eyes are just sweaty
@@artemisiavladu509 gross
This deserves to be nominated for "Best Animated Short" at the Oscars.
Hell yes
And it indeed is!
JUST BEEN NOMINATED
@@AlejandraRamirez-uy9qw WELL IT IS
They did it
At 5:47 and 6:05 you see traditional Chinese new year decorations. The new year symbolizes a new beginning. Ahh I love the little details in this film so much!
06:07 also? On the front door of her home?
No its just a typical 'Fú' character. I have one in the living room, doesnt nessesarily need to be chinese new year. It means fortune/luck/happiness. And then some chinese families like to hang it upside down. And upside down in chinese is dào. So it reads Fú dào. Its a word play, dao means upside down but also sounds the same as 'arrive'. So it means 'Luck/furtune/Happiness Arrives'. Hope you guys find learning languages is fun because they cant be fully translated, you need to be fluent in both languages to get the full meaning.
I am pretty sure in Asian culture cutting your hair means a new beginning.
Thank you. My dream is being a doctor. It always was. But I just can't get into medical school and I just give up this year. This video its making me feel like I SHOULD TRY AGAIN. THANK YOU.
You can do it!! Sending you well wishes! :D
I don't know you personally but I'm rooting for you, you had the strength to hold on to it all this time, so for all the days you wished for it, you must achieve it, you can do it, hard work is all you need, hope I'd hear you got there soon.
Same feel with vet school in France...
I wish you good luck and hello from Russia
Fabiola García Good luck from France guys. These studies are the hardest
This short film is so AMAZING! The story and music are impressive and I think it’s as good as Pixar’s short! I just started learning animation making and I hope one day I will make a short film like this one!
Good luck my dude!
You will, work hard for it!
I wish you luck
*Making a short for graduation, wish u all luck fellas godbless*
Its BETTER than ANY polar short I've seen.
Most fathers want to give their daughters the world.
This father gave his daughter the universe.
That hit home!
I am Still crying What a Movie.. Better then Any Disney Movie
..Even a Heartless person Like me is Crying
WISE FOX?!?! HERE!!!
@まいら (Maira) IKR
I'ma make a video about this :0
Bro really wanna get nuked by disney
WHAT. A. MIRACLE. ❤
god i cried the entire time this is so beautiful i cant even fathom
Wackerbagel me too 😭😭
What no I'm not crying I'm just uh laughing at a dog meme :°) *sniff*
To much
:'(
Me too
damn invisible onion chopping elves **sniff**
the journey of a thousand miles (or in the Moon's case, 238,900 miles) begins with a single step...
...and the love and support of the person cheering you from the very start.
U mean aliens.. onion chopping space aliens
I showed this to a couple of my students while teaching a lesson on empathy. The students were able to identify their emotions while watching and connect with some of the problems the character faced. We talked about how problems come in all sizes and we can show empathy to support one another to encourage them to never give up. Great lesson!
The change in color palette really shows her emotions, like how happy She was with him, how absolutely panicked and devastated she was when he died, and how she got over his death, and her world slowly gained back its color. Beautiful work!!!
Having experienced my fair share of loss I can agree that without thinking you notice the color fades out of life. I've lost both parents, grandparents,uncles, aunts, friends, and my daughter, I try and hope my happiness continues to bring out the vibrant colors out in my life.
I lost my dad earlier in the year and this made me cry. Great job ❤❤❤
Great job at making you cry
@@QTsargaming lol great job at conveying human emotion through storytelling and animation without needing any words.
Mizuki Sayomi its ok...
6:41
This scene hit me HARD.
SPOILERS
When she took her 1st step on the moon and then it cuts to her jumping on the bed almost got me. I think this is the 1st animation short film that had me feeling this way
Me too. My tears just burst out at that scene.
6:41 Earth blows up...
If you don't get it, here czcams.com/video/52Gg9CqhbP8/video.html
It got me tho, and HARD
@@oomphur8195 Yeah, same here. I broke down real quick when she jumped off the bed and into her dad's arms.
Congrats for the nomination for best animated short at the academy awards... well deserved
A common cliche being very well executed.
Today the dream of becoming an astronaut isn’t as far out as many people would like you to believe. And that makes me hopeful
They fit a whole Disney movie into 7 minutes👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
Yep, Yep, Yep. You are Totally Right, Friend. :-D
No don't disrespect this movie like that. It was more then a Disney compared to what they do now.
This group of people are doing better than Disney in my opinion.
@@brooksnation2973 The founders and team of the studio are Disney veterans.
Nah, it’s not Disney. It’s better than Disney.
Better than any (newer-ish) Disney Movie...
Damn ninjas cutting onions
After hearing interviews on The Animated Journey where they spoke with Taiko leads, I can see why this studio fought so hard to make this short film a reality. The world needs more of this studio's work. Keep up the amazing job.
Such a beautiful story.
It really hits the feelings in a very satisfying way, I really love everything about this film. The visuals are extremely well done, the animation is smooth, and I have to try and hold back tears because the storytelling is just *that good*.
Amazing, I really hope that someday I can produce something even close to being as beautiful as this.
Though it is sad that this doesn't have alot of views, the fact in the end makes it a Gem among the unknown...
And I'm glad to have found this Diamond.

#2 mailman from "One Small Step"
We all can relate to Luna's life. Time is precious, indeed. Value our parents sacrifices while we still have them. Every moment is a gift! It made me cry like a baby. Life is really beautiful. An Oscar well deserve short animated film!!! Please pick this one.
Growing up I wanted to be an astronaut. This is so inspirational and emotional... Thank you TAIKO Studios! :)
I think that important theme in this cartoon is careerism and inability to control it. Some people want to live a bright and flaming life so much so they lose the patient and real(in my opinion) part of life which is simple social interactions, love(yep) and just state of being lazy. I am not saying that career goals and stuff like that is not important and cant give pleasure and happiness. I am saying that the balance between these two edges is, in some way, the ultimate way to live a life.
The message this story gives. "If something blocks your way, Don't give up and keep trying soon you will reach the goal you had from the start."
notice at 4:35 when she turns off the light of her room, moon in the sky slowly disappears, that is hell of a metaphor and detailing !!! Love the film.
That hit hard! 💔
At the end where she sees the Earth from the moon, imagine what a let down it would be to see a flat Earth.
Lol
NO MORE FLAT EARTH THEORIES!!! Also Space Force!
spooilllerrr
Earth is not flat or round
It’s a donut :D
I needed this laugh
Everyone deserves a second chance, and everything you experience happens once in a lifetime!! That animated short is fantastically crafted and showcase that everyone from different races can achieve their dreams even in the most challenging times ahead. Don't give up on your dreams, it will pay off in the end. Kudos to Taiko Studios!!!

Loved the way they animated him presenting the gift, I can totally imagine him saying something along the lines of "guess what I have for you?"
I had to watch this in class I was trying not to cry in front of people
Someone get this submitted for best academy animated short film!

stupid cliches making me cry my eyes out every single time
Art style is really unique and cool though
@@ashermack2543 I agree
I think the dad's death is the cliche thing but everything else is so unique and original and yes, feel u sis, I'm crying too
Physically, the 3D animation looks so gooood. Emotionally, the story is beautiful and amazing! Musically, the music is just nostalgic (for some reason) and just wow. This just beautiful and heart captivating!!
The cinematography and lighting are excellent. I love the staircase-dining room scenes. The hard divide between the lamp in the dining room and the stairway in shadow always conveys moments when Luna and her father are close and when she isn't, and then having the lamp turned off for the father's death, as if all life in the house had disappeared. Amazing storytelling.
Me being like: please don’t die please don’t die please don’t let the father die
Later: Darn it
Edit: I loved the back story and it is so heart warming that she reached her dream even when her dad died
Ikr, i didnt want the father to die either.
She um ....
she didn't go to the moon ...
@@thejackandtomshow2776 yes she did
thank you TAIKO for such amazing great film....
This is why you shouldn't take your parents for granted. You'll miss them one day so enjoy your time with them now
This movie makes me cry... I thank God because I have my mother who gave everything for her children so that we could get ahead and have a career and a life!!! I love my mom very much!!!
TAIKO Studios is going places. Cannot wait to see more from you guys.
I thought I was looking at a Disney Short... so AWESOME 💞💞
When i grow up i wanted to be an astronaut. After seeing this im 100% not crying..
You're also crying arent you? Go and do your work.
7:07 dad, we did it....
7:07 😢
Finally something that youtube recommendation did right
Reddit brought me here.
This was much better than I expected, this is an amazing movie :)
I watched it five times, and cried every single time.
everyone talking about many things yet, the most devastating part is she will never be able to share this moment with her father, and it hurts like no other, the loss of a loved one is something, and not being able to share your achievement your happiness with them is another tragedy, I am still crying.
This broke me down into tears, im a negative person and, my dreams are like the same, i wish with all of my heart to become an astronaut... but my grades are the worst... seeing my closest friends triumph in their grades and allof that stuff makes me happy, and also jealous, but this video motivated me that i know i can do better and i know i can have better grades too, and i can become an astronaut, i know is a little bit deep but i just... want to become someone, to tell my kids, how proud i am from my job someday, well... i'll be that person... im tired of being a lazy, crying ass, thank you... you guys, make someones day... and even life, thanks, best video ever
Ik it’s a shitty time but how are u doing with school and life in general
you holding up?
One small step, a chance at hand,
To every dream that course to land.
And where they go to that distant glow,
Fair to hope may bright to show.
For that a star shall soar to height,
Across the known of worlds in sight.
Those that sleep and those that wake,
There they stand as fierce to make.
Wow, that's original? That's awesome.
That’s poetry
@@cheyennewitehira4929 Who wrote this phoem? What's a title?
Better late than never.
The poem is yours truly. And title is... Untitled
This short film made me cry 😭.
this beats ANY of pixar's short films. This is something is a short film I would want to see before a movie starts at the theater. 10/10
I cried for real with this, the lose of the father hitted me real hard
2:59 i couldn't keep watching from the sadness it provocated me. For real this is so heartbreaking because you know what is going to happen to him
oh my god i cried so hard im chinese too !! this makes me really happy
Man... as someone planning to apply for astronaut candidacy during or after college, this hit me really hard. Such a beautiful and universal story.
Teaser comes 10 months ago.
And this video deserve a good quality for 10 months in making of this gold animation.
This hit home. I didn't spend that much time with my mom eversince i got into College. I wished i didn't have to focus on social life at College and actually spend time with her.
Same for me, except I'm in the 10th grade. I just want to spend time with my parents, but the work just keeps getting piled up
I LOVE IT THE ANIMATION IS SO CUTE
This short film has so much emotion in it in 7 minutes with no words. Especially when compared to a hour and a half or two hour movie. The people that worked on this should be proud of this and they should get way more recognition cause this was amazing
That movie makes me cry every time i watch . Welldone . I wish you will fo better in future. 💟💟💟
Nothing has even happened yet and I'm already crying
Edit:NOW IM CRYING EVEN MORE NOOO
ME TOO 😭😭😭
This make me cry 😢😢This is so cute ❤❤
Ps:Believe in your dream 😊
If you have a dream and fail do not give up. So many people do that and let dreams go to dust don’t stand idly by and let that happen. You only live once. Make your dreams come true.
at 3:55 i began crying. I know you meant for this to be heartfelt but i am just emotional over this type of stuff.
GREAT story....... and it’s so true...... no matter what life throws at you believe in yourself and keep trying (Smile)
5:20 okay the tears are coming
This made me cry like a fucking baby. I love my dad so much ;-; I already know I'm going to be absolutely destroyed when he passes away. I can't even think about it without crying my eyes out.
Cherish your dads, y'all.
we should never ignore the sacrifices of our parents.
Theres a eye in my tear
uhhhhhhh... *what?*
I'm positive that a lot of people are going to watch this and feel inspired, even though it has only 800 views by now. Thank you for sharing.
This cartoon it was very moving i loved it ☺️☺️☺️
Watching this film in 7 minutes made me feel a lot more than I could ever hope from a 4-hour film.
That father did his job right
I've never seen anything more beautiful and meaningful as this. I aspire to make a short like this one day, thank you!
i watched this 5 years ago and I am watching it right now and when I tell u my eye balls are drowning in my tears
I lost my dad....This..One ...Make my eyes..Filled in tears..😭😭😭love u so much...Dad..
Me: pff this is going to do the parent dying cliche I've seen this a million times I won't be fazed by this
Guy: you ok?
Me: yes *sniff* I've seen this a million times *cries*
This is why cliches are useless to point out, it's incredibly difficult to come up with a story that's truly original, most of them have been done already.
Stories should be looked at for execution, not originality.
Good god, this makes me feel the same things I fealt when I watched UP.
I have come back to watch this short every year since it came out. Still brings a tear to my eye.
My dream is to work in NASA someday in the future, but i suck at physics and math.
But when i watched this video, i was motivated and i realize that when you are working hard to reach your dreams to become reality,
all the hard works are worth it. I LOVE IT!!!
PLS. DO MORE INSPIRING AND MOTIVATING ANIMATED VIDEOS
KEEP IT UP! ^____^
Just because you're bad at something doesn't mean you can't get better. Go for it.
What are you good at? Maybe NASA or space related industry can use your talents.
Thanks to everyone at TAIKO, this is a huge reminder for me to keep being grateful with my parents endless support for my dream as an aspiring animation artist. This short-film means so much to me, straight into my deepest heart. God bless!
What is this liquid coming from my eyes? I didn't want to cry, i-I'm sorry I shouldn't cry it has a happy ending right? Why am I crying? I'm crying and I shouldn't be crying. What's wrong with me?
All of the nominees are beautiful films in their own unique way, but this one gets my vote ;) Good luck at the Oscars!
Filmnya sangat menginspirasi! Ayah memiliki peran yang sangat besar bagi anaknya, di film ini mengisahkan bahwa ayah akan melakukan appaun bagi anaknya bahkan meski harus sampai tangannya terluka. Sebagai anak, seharusnya kita bisa selalu menghargai tindakan orang tua dan jangan semakin dewasa malah semakin cuek kepada orang tua. Dari anaknya pun hal yang bisa dicontoh adalah selalu yakin dan fokus pada tujuan yang ingin dicapai, lakukanlah yang terbaik, dan jangan berhenti mencoba.
Yeah this definitely deserves The awards
Incredible film - congratulations and good luck at the Oscars
A small step
Can chang your life😊❤
6:52 *sobs in my pillow*
Edit: I love her perseverance even though life threw big and small obstacles her way. Wonderful animation and plot✨.
1:26 the JJ laugh💀
Thank you for the representation. Thank you for the story. Thank you thank you thank you. I'm going through similar struggles literally right now in my life. Everything about this is relatable and everything about this is beautiful. It gives me hope for the future and strength to endure whatever life hits me with. I really hope this one wins at the Oscars, but even if it doesn't, know that you've touched millions of hearts.
