That unicorn with the purple stripes is an example of great greed when he had to choose between the crown and baby. The baby's death was his punishment. Im not saying that because i hated the unicorns, its just what it seems like.
This is a lesson on what can happen when you selfish. You can replace an object but you can never replace a life once a life is taken you can never get it back and even if you do it is basically not letting their soul rest in piece. Once a life is gone leave it alone so it can sleep in piece. This video taught us another lesson a saying that goes "Always protect someone or something you love, you will never know how precious they are until you loose them."
It's like a metaphor for parents choosing their job or career and then at the end, they realize that they were away for too long, and the child is pretty much distant to them (or even gone to other places).
+THE Winged Artist Very observant =p But once people see the entire animation and know the end, they're quick to judge the father as having abandonned his son. If the Father had the benefit of foresight then the story wouldn't have been half as interesting =p
+DarkmaneTheWerewolf very true! Father huh? well now we know.... I have watched this animation many times in the past, I just love it! I understand you used GIMP for this animation, I have tried to animate with GIMP before and I have no patience for it.... Great work as always! Oh and one more thing, I also like the used of body language as well as expressions. anyways I'm done.... have a great day.
Everything comes with a Price...... The Unicorn's Selfishness took it's Toll for a Crown, which the Only Value found is Surface level. Nothing is More Valuable and Precious then the life of a child.. This Animation reminds us to Appreciate the Gifts we Already have. If we spend All Our Time Longing for "Greener Pastures' our Gifts may be Gone Before We Know It.
family...or riches... choose riches and u may have all the money in the world yet always feel empty... choose family and your heart will always be rich with smiles and forever happiness... ~Queen MeowTigeress
This struck my heart strings. Even though it's a very short animation you can still feel all the emotion and effort put into it and at best I loved it. The decisions made by the characters and the end really got me and I loved it, good job and keep up the good animating.
I think the story is: a pair of unicorns go to the cave of the strom dragon to explore. the mother sees a beutiful crown but when her child slips toward the mighty beast it awakens. enraged by them trespassing on his territory he ties to kill the mother first, the mother survives but she must make a choice: have the crown or her child. she choses the crown and then tries to save her chilid wh is being chased by the mighty dragon. the dragon catches and kills the chilid unicorn but the mother lives, this is a lesson that u put ur chilid first and dont give into greed or it might kill the ones u hold close...
that was amazing but the parent unicorn went for the crown instead of their kid, that was just terrible, I don't think I could live that if I were that unicorns parent.
The mother was choosing, BUT I think she actually hurried to crown and then to her foal. If she would run directly after the foal and not to the crown, I think it wouldn't change much... after all, she's ,,just" an unicorn. Her mistake was that she brought the foal *with* her.
that was good! it tugs at the heart, and tells us that our riches could never be more valuable than a loved one and that you never know the worth of water until the well runs dry.
Love your animations. You are so talented. I know you have improved a ton since this one, but this short is still so impressive to watch. The smooth serpentine movements of the dragon are satisfying to watch. You are also incredible at walk/run cycles. I feel those can be so tricky to pull off well. I also just enjoyed the moral of this even though I feel so sad for the juvenile unicorn at the end.
foolish unicorn!Greedy unicorn!Whats more important your friend,or young one! or a stupid non love unfriendship crown! You let your friend or young one die because over some stupid crown! its your fault to blame! FOOLISH UNCORN! (btw great work with the animation!)
The only thing that bothers me story telling wise is that even when the older looking unicorn realizes its greed, it doesn't even shake the crown off. You'd think it would have been disgusted with itself to disown the thing, but it didn't. It seemed to mourn the smaller unicorn, but it did so with the crown resting atop its head.
The ending is great symbolism, and I think it goes well with how most greedy leaders/rulers also have consequences. You got what you wanted, but it turns out the cost was greater than any value of the object/goal you wished for.
wow i loved that, the way u made the dragon uqiue, the way the unicorn walked like a lion.. everything.. little dissapointed that unicorn chose greed over another life
@@macaruuni8417 The creator themself confirmed it in a reply to another comment that thought it was a mother, and Darkmane corrected it: "Viisrah 2 years ago I think the mother was thinking she could get the crown AND save her foal... be it true or not that's what I think. " Darkmane's reply was this: "DarkmaneTheWerewolf 2 years ago +THE Winged Artist Very observant =p But once people see the entire animation and know the end, they're quick to judge the father as having abandonned his son. If the Father had the benefit of foresight then the story wouldn't have been half as interesting =p"
Let this be a lesson to us all. Like when there is a decision like this one, chose the one that can never be found, made, or replaced by an EXACT equal. (The baby is what im saying should've been picked because it's one of a kind like all of us)
Wow. The bigger unicorn wasn't a very good friend/brother/father to the little one, was he? But this does make me wonder what was so important about that crown. I like the dragon creature's design.
this is amazing, i hope to be as good as you one day!! its incredible and im speechless i dont see why people unlike this 0_o again amazing job :) i cant wait to see more
That was wonderful! i adore how you leave the sketches in th actual animation! && with a sad enting too! that was just fabulous!!! ;D animation was fab && just... ASTONISHING!
Hmmm... My daughter.. or the blinking crown?? mmm... i gonna chose the crown and then help my daughter.... *What the Unicorn think* Damn... Yeah... the worst in the whole universe.
I think this teaches us all a valuble lesson. Greed can corrupt the mind, so in the end you end up losing the ones you love, all your treasures turn to rust and you lose everything.
Oh my god, this is amazing. Your drawing style is.. wow. And everything flows together greatly. You have the talent of a professional animator. It also seems like a unique idea, having the unicorn go into a dragon's cave, and everything that happens within that. I also love the style of your dragon. It seems almost like it's an asian type of dragon, which contrasts well with the unicorns. All in all, it's perfect! Aww, I feel so bad for the little unicorn. :( He didn't even want to go in.
Everyone's all mad and sad about the ending, but I'm just amazed this was done in GIMP! I used a bit of gimp but found it reallllly annoying and hard to animate with so I am really impressed :0
I love how the parent choses the crown over the foal and then continues to wear said crown while they grief over said foal wich is now dead.Actions have consequences, thats what happens when you chose items over the ones you love. R. I. P baby uni 🌼
I love this. I am sick of the idea that unicorns are all just: OOH SKITTLES, CANDY, FARTING RAINBOWS, HAPPY FUN MAGIC YAYYYYY I need some unicorns acting like animals
When faced with eternal power, there is two choices. Your love for another which gives you happiness, or power, which gives you wealth. Both are tempting but love is worth so much more. The King is a pheasant and the pheasants who love are the rulers.
I love this animation, it showed how the mother wanted a treasure from the dragon's lair, filled with jewels and crowns, but was caught trying to sneak in by the dragon himself. After the baby unicorn was noticed, the mom had tripped & had actually decided to go for her beloved crown instead. In the end, the dragon had killed the baby unicorn viciously & left the remorseful unicorn mother to reap what she sowed; being greedy. A truly sad ending but it was good. :) It teaches a important lesson.
I like it. Its a story telling about greed bringing on regret,NOT just greed. You people are a acting like the unicorn left the smaller one to die then didn't care. But it actually tried to save the smaller one, but it was too late. Then it was regretting its greed. Awesome animation, and a good moral.

Although people are upset about the ending, I still love this. It's a story about choices, and the consequences of your choices, good or bad.
I agree
yep, also, me when I was watching this: WHY DID YOU GO FOR THE CROWN YOU IDIOT?!? XD
I like how in the end, when her foal died, the mother continued to wear the crown, to ever remind her of her folly, and greed.

yup that was actually the story I just read it lol

who said its a male? God im having to say the same thing to so many gender assumers in this vid
@@luii5299 Because the creator said the unicorn was a male......
The style of the dragon is so AMAZING !!! (2:58)

ikr
ENIGMA it's male lol
who said its a boy? gender assumer
Hypnolu cuz it was confirmed
That dragon was frickin amazing! My beanie is off to you for that! Well done
That's what happens when you choose a freaking crown over your CHILD
It's like a metaphor for parents choosing their job or career and then at the end, they realize that they were away for too long, and the child is pretty much distant to them (or even gone to other places).
I think the mother was thinking she could get the crown AND save her foal... be it true or not that's what I think.

+DarkmaneTheWerewolf I'm still confused, if the father chose to defend his foal, how would he defend it in the first place?
+DarkmaneTheWerewolf Also, that dragon still haunts my dreams ever since I watched this video for the first time.
You
Keep the Crown, you are now the king of fools
Didn't anyone else notice the dragon was literally waiting for the father's choice?
I don't think the dragon notices te father
+Albatross0123 I think it did.
Mefistofeles Otsuaf tru what if the dragon us the good charicyer tryig to save the unicorn from its father and making the father suffer
Because you can see that he didnt eat the baby... he put it back down on the flloor
Maybe it's like a contract? You take something from me (crown), then I'll take something from you (his child)

i love how nicely and smoothly the body moves on the creatures which i assume are hard to draw.
i love the fact this animation is based off the choices you make without thinking of the consequences that are ahead of you
That was so sad......Very smooth, liked it, but sad...

choose riches and u may have all the money in the world yet always feel empty...
choose family and your heart will always be rich with smiles and forever happiness...

Its actually the father, but that story would make sense
+CrystalWolf1321 ok so if the dragon had not killed and it protected the unjcorns fom something else?
+Blazing Sugabush No no, what i meant was the adult unicorn was the father, not mother. The rest makes sense
+CrystalWolf1321 oh ok
Umm, grammar plz?
I liked it, but what is the symbolism of the crown the unicorn is wearing?
I'm pretty sure it symbolizes greed
symbolizes that even though he got what he wanted, in the end the cost was greater than the value of the object itself.
that was amazing but the parent unicorn went for the crown instead of their kid, that was just terrible, I don't think I could live that if I were that unicorns parent.
sierra tisch it’s not “parent unicorn” it’s either “dam” or “stallion”
LOVE the dragon's design!
The Father had now became a legend, and was called,"The Foolish/Greedy King".
The mother was choosing, BUT I think she actually hurried to crown and then to her foal. If she would run directly after the foal and not to the crown, I think it wouldn't change much... after all, she's ,,just" an unicorn. Her mistake was that she brought the foal *with* her.
Keep your crown, unicorn, for you are now the King of Fools.
Oh my gosh that was helarious!!
*hilarious
that was good! it tugs at the heart, and tells us that our riches could never be more valuable than a loved one and that you never know the worth of water until the well runs dry.

You let your friend or young one die because over some stupid crown!
its your fault to blame!

The only thing that bothers me story telling wise is that even when the older looking unicorn realizes its greed, it doesn't even shake the crown off.

Another wonderful animation, Dankmane
I'm sorry I can't stop miss seeing it as dankmane
9 years later and still keep coming back :^)
It looks great! It's so awesome to have seen the work process from start to finish!
Lesson learned, it is easier to replace an object or home but it is not possible to replace a loved one. >:(
Family is more important than money ***
wow i loved that, the way u made the dragon uqiue, the way the unicorn walked like a lion.. everything.. little dissapointed that unicorn chose greed over another life
TT.TT Damn that mother is the worst man.

NOBODY KNOWSSSSS....
it actually _is_ a father, though.

beautiful work there!
the animation is so smooth and the dragon's movement is so dynamic >:3
Wow. The bigger unicorn wasn't a very good friend/brother/father to the little one, was he? But this does make me wonder what was so important about that crown.
I like the dragon creature's design.
I love this, the plot is amazing and sad and well animated and I'm crying my face off
Is it only me or these unicorns are like brothers?
the larger one is the father
Beautiful, I love this though it is so so sad. I use this as inspiration for my own sad points in stories, your animations are amazing!

Well ppl are upset about the ending but it kind of proves my friend wrong-

omg I loved it!
The dragonic design is amazing!
Made me sad though
Classic moment "do i choose to save my loved one or the treasure?" But i guess it's not going by the code. "TREASURE!!"
This is those who seek greed's fate, to gain something they will always loose something in return
The desing of the dragon looks awesome!
This is soooo well animated!😍!good yob!!!
it has such a deeper meaning, awesome animation ^^
Really beautiful animation, although I almost started crying. Well done!

this animation is beautiful and has a very good moral to it i love it :D you inspire me
i love it !!! one of the best animations i have ever seen !!!
poor little unicorn ~
You don`t know what you really have until it is truly gone.
i truly understand this. the father chose power over his children. it made me cry but i understnad
Clearly the unicorn with the purple stripes is a father, otherwise the motherly instincts would kick in.
This is awesome!! It must have taken a LONG time to do this! ;)
When faced with eternal power, there is two choices. Your love for another which gives you happiness, or power, which gives you wealth. Both are tempting but love is worth so much more. The King is a pheasant and the pheasants who love are the rulers.

this can teach you the power of greed. it can blind you and loose something that is more expensive than any treasure
I can't stop crying in my head
this made me cry
He never knew how much he had till he lost it he realized life is more precise than jewels
Crime never pays.

There is a good moral in this animation
hope the crown was worth it >:(

Now the crown will forever remind the adult of what it has done...

Beautiful.
Best animation I've ever seen. :D
the moral for this is, the best things in life are free.
This short film's touched my heart.
Wow, that shows how much the mother cares for her daughter or son. Getting a stupid crown instead of saving your child/foal
Holy crap.
Monster hunters, get rollin'. There's a Horned Ludroth on the loose!
awwww......
Wouldn't it be a unicorn's "misfortune"? lol very nice!
That boom scared the shit out of me
