This made me cry. Its so insaine how man has abused our elephant siblings. They are gentle with us. I pray they overcome human evilness more than the current level.
Beautiful story. The way to heaven can be interpreted in so many ways. The elephant giving his life so that others can live, to choose between getting all the glory at the expense of others or sharing that glory for everyone's benefit.

This deserves many, many more views! Awards! In our rush, rush, hurried world this gentle, peacefull, sweet animation and its perfectly matched music is so soothing, profound, poetic. It brings tears to my eyes. Thank you for your wonderfull creation filled with so much beauty, soulful music, gentleness, especially in these sad times........❤
Beautiful and heart warming story. With regard to a previous comment on the story's relationship with the legend of Hindu God Ganesha, I would like to say that the film reminded me more of Airavata and his siblings. Airavata is the mount of Hindu deity Indra and his siblings are Divine Elephants who support the world on their shoulders. The beginning scene depicting the journey of the Elephants to Heaven reminded me of Airavata and his siblings 😊
At first I thought the animation was sub-par, but I was soon proven wrong. The emotions on the elephants face, the way his eyebrows flow with the wind, his sheer size that's later shown in the vid, the birds flying graciously in the sky, even the animation of the fly on the log was amazing. On top of that, this was one of the only credit rolls I actually watched, and the music was beautiful :)
I was thinking it was the story of the Indian elephant god, Ganesh. But, I'm only slightly familiar with the story of Ganesh. And didn't know there was a Chinese version. Could they be related!? . I translated the chinese text which has a bit more information. "Elephant Mountain" is a fifteen-minute animated short film. The story is the myth and legend of the Elephant Trunk Mountain in Guilin, Guangxi, China. As a symbol of the spirit of local ancestors, the elephant made sacrifices for the entire natural environment and left us a beautiful environment for our ancestors. We should protect it. This story also tells us that the meaning of life is not only to take, but more to give, for the whole nature and society. So this short film is also a cartoon about environmental protection.
Thank you so much for made the effect to translated the text, we should of done that. But yeah, the story is different then Ganesh, But we all citizen of the earth, So one way or the other, we all have similar thinking of love for our world.🥰

Elephant Mountain is one of main tourist attractions at Guilin. Legends are main thing which telling the story behind Natural Wonders in this world. Elephant deity, originally from India, spread together with Hinduism and Buddhism to some part of Asia including my region at Southeast Asia. At Borneo, there was Ganesh statue found at Limbang, north of my state Sarawak. In my people's story, elephant is mighty animal until one day a cunning mousedeer make scaring this elephant after bullying small animals by measuring his hair with one of porcupine's quill. This is why elephants cannot be found at Borneo except Sabah. Until Sultan of Brunei bring some from somewhere, probably from Peninsula Malaysia and set them loose into jungle.
There must be lots of elephants in heaven because they are so good. There must be lots of beloved horses and dogs too. There are probably many more animals than humans in heaven... I hope that I get to go to the same heaven that animals are in.
just found this short, been to china many times and guilin was my base camp for my touring the country. the mountains in the movie made me think wow its just like guilin, then looking here i find it is the elephant trunk mountain story i was told about by friends in china. how cool! been to the mountain many times beautiful place. the city has a huge statue of three elephants in one of the large business centers in the city. really neat to come across this and my connection watching the short. amazing.

This hill is real. It is situated in Guilin City, one city of Guangxi province in south China. This province is above and shares certain stretch of boundary and sea area with Vietnam.
The music alone made me weep. The story is so powerful. Heaven can be everywhere. It is where one is happy. May I know the title of the sound track please?
Judging from the story (as well as the video description) I'm guessing the elephant in this tale is essentially the Chinese equivalent to Prometheus bringing fire to mankind.
The Way to Heaven is a 15 minute animated short film that based on a Chinese myth about Steven who decided to sacrifice staying in heaven for the betterment of The Death Dino; Howard.
These Asian Elephants have no tusks, IRL only the bulls (boys) grow them. i almost mistaken them for girls. In a army you see only bull elephants with tusks
That was gorgeous but I don't understand why the dragon band the elephant from heaven he did a good thing unless that dragon is not the real God of that place
Thanks for the question:) The elephant got left behind at this space where suffering natural disaster unexpected, and it using its divine power to bring back life to the space. But to Jade Emperor, there is balance between god and human world. no one can break the balance without explicit approval, so he ordered the dragon to bring the elephant back to haven. But the elephant already fell in love with the space and the people, doesn't want to go back. But that's against the heaven‘s commandments, So the dragon used the sword pin the elephant in the space so it can't use power in human world anymore. But in the end elephant's spirit got to stay:) which that's its wish.
I suppose the elephant, having brought fertility to the earth, on returning to heaven refused to be subordinate - perhaps a far-eastern Prometheus myth?
@@dortebuttenschn3764 We didnt think of that, but interesting thought, yeah, its kinda like that.Thanks for the input!!! If we turn this into show or movie in the future definitely keep that in mind

По сути, так оно и есть. Слоны играют большую роль в экосистеме
Creation story, like to see more of these.
people didnt know why things happen in nature .. and they made stories much mo9re beautiful than nature itself
Great imagination
.it Will Be Saturday December 10,2022.😐.
The animation style of the elephant looks like the elephants from the thailand movie khankluay ^.^
Elephant god: (chooses to sacrifice itself so that mortals can live their lives.)
Dragon god: that was his mistake!
It's amazing how poorly some of these are made but how good others are
Wow amazing

The music alone made me weep. The story is so powerful. Heaven can be everywhere. It is where one is happy. May I know the title of the sound track please?
Thank you! The musicians created the music just for the short film, we didn't even thought about title for the music. 🤗
simplemente hermoso
great
wonderfull
beautiful!!! 😮😮
Judging from the story (as well as the video description) I'm guessing the elephant in this tale is essentially the Chinese equivalent to Prometheus bringing fire to mankind.
Super
I don't understand it, but I like it.
The Way to Heaven is a 15 minute animated short film that based on a Chinese myth about Steven who decided to sacrifice staying in heaven for the betterment of The Death Dino; Howard.
These Asian Elephants have no tusks, IRL only the bulls (boys) grow them. i almost mistaken them for girls. In a army you see only bull elephants with tusks
I knew this wasn’t a fever dream
Awe so sad he sacrifice his life to say the earth touching cartoon it's sad ending also
Cheche … wo ai ni 😊😊😊
That was gorgeous but I don't understand why the dragon band the elephant from heaven he did a good thing unless that dragon is not the real God of that place
Thanks for the question:) The elephant got left behind at this space where suffering natural disaster unexpected, and it using its divine power to bring back life to the space. But to Jade Emperor, there is balance between god and human world. no one can break the balance without explicit approval, so he ordered the dragon to bring the elephant back to haven. But the elephant already fell in love with the space and the people, doesn't want to go back. But that's against the heaven‘s commandments, So the dragon used the sword pin the elephant in the space so it can't use power in human world anymore. But in the end elephant's spirit got to stay:) which that's its wish.
@@floatingworldanimation1527 oh OK makes sense now
I suppose the elephant, having brought fertility to the earth, on returning to heaven refused to be subordinate - perhaps a far-eastern Prometheus myth?
@@dortebuttenschn3764 We didnt think of that, but interesting thought, yeah, its kinda like that.Thanks for the input!!! If we turn this into show or movie in the future definitely keep that in mind
Bcs it sucks
Truly a BEAUTIFUL Work Of Art🥹
The joke's on Heaven. They ultimately just gave him exactly what he wanted. 😇
Tiktok bring me here
I know it's supoosed to be tender and everything, but I can't find it other than scary.

wunderschöne Geschichte aus China
Flying Tyrannosaurus retaliates against the giant elephant😀
