@@Rat-hd9tu Yeah, I do find it kinda dumb that the "golden child" looks just as busted as their parents, that's the one thing about this story I didn't like. If higher number = prettier-looking, then shouldn't Infinity be like, totally straight and perfect pure yarn, or something?
I just noticed how the lower your number, the more messy your yarn is wrapped. All the 9s, 8s, and 7s had perfect horizontal lines, where the 1s and 2s had more diagonal and vertical yarn. Nice touch!
I like how only the zeros had brown yarn that truly set them apart, and at the end the baby had brown yarn while still being the highest number. Just really shows the beauty of this short film ❤️
As for me it makes it very racist. And this racism is towards white people, like only browns are treated bad, 🤦🏼 . The creator of this movie is black I guess 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
@@Daniel-sp1kr Welp, I guess you're the type to get thrown out of parties. How could you miss the whole point of this short film? It has absolutely nothing to do with racism.
@Brian Davis NO, it's NOT the same, never was. The only reason wht racism is so scrutinized is because of wht history, slavery, and what whts in charge are doing now. If they weren't committing so many heinous crimes against humanity, no one would be calling whts out for racism, no one would care. 🤷🏾♂️ It's like a Mex i can calling a wht person a derogatory term, wht people don't care, because they're in control. If they weren't, and the script was flipped, THEN whts could have something to complain about, until then, whts are the villians. And calling villians out on their crimes is NOT racism. 🤷🏾♂️ Welcome to reality.
Most people see this as anti-bullying and all that, but I personally find this to be more representative of the caste system. (A system in India where people in society are divided into different social classes) The higher numbers, let’s say 9 & 10, being the Brahmin, the highest rank and most successful. The tad bit lower numbers, let’s say 7 & 8, being the Kshatriyas, the second-highest rank. 5 & 6 could be the Vaishyas. 1-4 the Sudra. And finally, zeros being the Dalit, the lowest rank. They’re the poorest of the caste system, and used to be so hated that they were called “Untouchables”, which is a very dehumanizing term. I honestly don’t know that much about the caste system, so I probably got some things wrong, but that’s what this video reminded me of.
I love how people talk about the cast system and link it only to India. Countries in Europe had it, many Asian countries too but it has only to be linked to India and forget all others. Hypocrisy that this system was made rigid which wasn't always like that until the British arrived!
@@siddharthtiwari8125 the caste system is reinforced by the hinduism and it all revolves around the culture in india, that's why india is always linked with it. caste system is present in almost every society, but it is not reinforced as much as in hinduism
I think that’s one way to look at . But I think it’s more to do with numerology than caste system . It’s more to do with the life path numbers , and karma people are born with .
The most beautiful part I liked is his smile and his perseverance .. like little things made him forget his sorrow and how he smiled back looking at butterfly , children playing , small birds etc .. lovely .... there is something to learn here.. he never allowed negativity creep into him...guy had nothing but still was willing to help out ..
I remember watching this as a child , around when I was 9 or 10, and this was the first movie that fully translated the sadness I used to feel as a child and at the end of the movie I cried so much because it felt like I was finally understood and not alone in how feel (how I used to feel back then) ,and it felt like there was hope. Hope to be greater than how I felt about myself & everything else in my life, at that moment. I will forever be infinitely grateful to this masterpiece , for comforting me , letting me know that I wasn't alone & assuring me with hope that I can be & feel greater than I did in that moment. I will forever be grateful to this movie for instilling in me the core values that 'how other people treat us has nothing to do with our worth as a person' & "the majority isn't always right or correct, we have to analyze with empathy" & "Anyone has the power, the ability to create something bigger & magnificent, regardless of where they're from or how they are" . It's been years since I had watched this movie when I was 9 or 10 , and I always think about this movie so much . Thankyou so much for this movie, it has really impacted my life and who I am as a person in alot of ways, throughout my life. I am eternally grateful. Much love and thanks to the all people that contributed to the creation of this movie❤.
@Obama don’t care That's just unnecessarily rude. Is it wrong to share something that is interesting or peculiar to you? Why even go so far as to insult his character? It was just a comment he wanted to share

Today I was randomly doing math when I remembered watching this so many years ago. Its 2 in the morning, but I suddenly have the urge to watch this again. The message has still stuck with me from so long ago.
I feel the same way but for me, it's been years since I have seen this video and it brings me memories of how I was as a child and now I'm grown into an adult thinking off this message of this story and every time I look back it makes me happy of where I am standing.

As I understood your movie can be interpreted in many ways. I see this as the movie about being disabled or having chronic illness and I couldn't help crying during watching this. I understand the main character so much. Thank you.
I saw this back in 2011. I watched it again in 2012. Then again in 2013. Then 2014. Then 2015. Then 2016. Then 2017. This year, I watched it once again. Every single time, it is by far the best short film I watched that year. This year was no exception. I love this so, so much. Thank you for creating such an inspirational masterpiece. I will continue to watch it every year to come.
Thanks for your support throughout the years. As a fan of the film, you might like to check out Part 2 which we're releasing in February 2019-a graphic novel that continues the story where the short film ends. Check out our Community tab for more info.
I watched this when I was a kid forever ago and always related to Zero, but couldn't understand exactly how yet. I mean I was bullied and ostrazised, but there was always another layer of relatability for me. Then I got diagnosed with autism and ADHD in adulthood, and returning to this video made it finally click.
Gacha Dm it’s to create anticipation. He doesn’t pulls him back. It’s more similar to when you pull your arm back when you prepare to punch in order to create more energy. It’s also a principle of animation btw.
I remember watching this with my lil sis when we were younger and this is one of the animations that got me interested in story telling and animation, and now I'm pursuing my career in the arts. :D
The baby turned out deformed as they all suspected it would be. I find it out of character for them not to just put it out of its misery right there and then.
Well the number on the person determines their importance like a 9 could become a a president and and infinity gains infinite respect and is basically prayed to like a god so they thought they need to aid such a being
I love the details like the yarn being more messy as the numbers got lower, and the fact that two 0's make infinity if you mush them together. Small touches like that really make a good film.
I learnt something in Zero's school as well... They say that zeros' were not aloud to multiply... Because if they did they would have restored the monarchy. (King/Queen).. So there was not a king and queen.. They were scared of them being the superior ones again so they treated them badly and hid the truth from people
now This is the person who is right,For This The youtube Created,In face ,the whole internet created for edication stuff,really Respect you and the vid ,U take a like from me fella!
I remember watching this shortly after I turned 9, and I'm 18 now. How time has passed since then, right?! This holds up so well even after all those years, and i couldn't be more glad to see this pop up into my recommendations again!!!
Every year, I find myself returning to this masterpiece whenever I feel like I've hit rock bottom. Watching this always reminds me that whether I was destined to be a 0, 3, or even an 8-nothing can and should stop me from reaching as high as infinity. It's been 8 years since I first saw this, and I will sure as hell make sure that all my kin to come will know this story and remember that wherever they may end up, not even the sky will be their limit.
Hi person scrolling through the comments! I just wanted to say, that I felt upset and alone while watching this ( not because it was bad, because it’s sad 😔 and it’s supposed to be sad) and I don’t want you to feel like that. Think about everyone you have got. And I’m here to remind you that you are not alone. I’m by your side as well. Have a wonderful day. Your never alone :)
it's screwed up to follow that philosophy, people even different or strange ones deserve to live equally as to the normal. what is so wrong with being unique? is it really a crime to be different or have challenges :/
@@angelthegardevoirdamsel6962 it isnt a crime Its more of a balance between the two Having somebody to care for u Is undeniably nice while u r trying to overcome the challenges to ur goal (U should also be ideally equally caring back Cuz selfishness doent work with care )
An angel I don't think so could be your own guard angel because when you are not happy you always will try to find someone like you but when the world try to kill you the good persons really doesn't exist close to you. Psicologie.
This is honestly the most beautiful short film I have ever seen. The art work is so detailed and carefully made and the over all story sends a gorgeous and powerful message. Thank you for making this :D
You guys do know that this video is a nod towards social classes and not racism... right? I mean, your proof is right here. 1:21 First Class (8, 9) Upper Middle Class (5, 6, 7) Lower Middle Class (1, 2, 3, 4) Third Class (0)
Also at 4:55 the numbers that beat up '0' are 2, 3 and 4; part of the lower middle class. The way I see it they are taking out their anger and frustration on smaller numbers that have small or no chance at all!
For some reason, I was sucked into a sad "short film" binge marathon, and this is the first one to not make me cry. Congrats on making me smile, author. 👍
I thought that "The Maker" is the saddest and most touching short film that I have seen in my life. But, no, THIS is the saddest and most touching short film that I have seen in my life. 😥👏
I remember watching this, years ago. I just remembered it, as I was watching some random video, endlessly scrolling through RUclips. The joy of watching it again... It has made my month. I absolutely love this, and always will. Thank you so much for putting so much time and effort into this. It truly is a masterpiece.
@@miss-kiki7960 no, thats because he was a 0, like someone who came from a poor family and would never succeed. brown wool was just a coincidence. I'll also have you know what I said made PERFECT sense. one time, I ignored this homeless begger (who was most definently pregnant with an infini-god) it resulted in my death by the hands of a being of infinite power
Man, this Video was one of the first i can remember watching on youtube. I was 4 or 5 at that time and couldn't speak english a single bit. (Am German) And one particular scene is stuck in my head since i was young, but i never found this video until now again. I remember even tho i couldn't understand a single bit, i still felt with the Zeros. I am glad that i can now fully understand what it is about. Great Video! Hope ya have a nice day!
God the amount of symbolism and deeper meaning in this is astonishing! I felt like I read a great work of literature yet it is stylised in a way that you could even show this to kids and it would get over a fair amount of the same message.
I stumbled upon this short a few years ago. Watched it because i love stop motion, and the visual style looked neat. Wasn't expecting it to be so heartfelt and sweet. I really felt for Zero. You did a phenomenal job. Everyone who worked on it did. Occasionally, I will think about this short from time to time whenever life isn't the greatest or downright bad. Love this short so much
Nobody realizes that... Thanks to 0... 100 is 100, 100000 is 100000, and 1000000 is 1000000. If 0 did not exist, the value of these numbers will be just 1!
but is zero nothing or a balance? in addition it is a neutral element instead as in multiplication and it is in the middle of all negative and positive numbers ;) (perhaps of the invers it get to infinite :O) Computer scientist count form Zero instead from One, like most others ^^ (sry for my bad english)
I used to watch this show when I like 7 years old in my dad Mac. At that time this show used to make me sad. It's been a long time I didn't watch this video. But one day in 2021 I suddenly remember this show, and I remember the video name is zero so I checked it out and I'm so glad its still here now this show make me learn a valuable lesson: if the person is low profile, doesn't mean he's a useless man
I love the fact that they didn't have zero be less abled or, weaker, he was able to be and able to be strong, it wasn't the number or the string that stopped him, it was a the system
Exactly. And if you want to see true strength of character, check out the follow-up Zero story that continues from where the film ends. Zero changes the system - bit.ly/Zero-The-Beginning
This was so adorable and inspirational. I don't see why people find it offensive. Why does everything have to be about negativity? Can't you people see any beauty and positivity in anything
Am legit crying now. This i what the future is about. We need more of these and not a despacito. Awesome storywriting and animation. And remember folks, no matter how you are and how you look, there will always be someone out there willing to love you with all their heart. Just believe. Be brave and kind. Peace.
i first stumbled into this on accident on youtube for the 3ds and i forgot to turn the volume on so i assumed there was no sound and even then this video will forever live in my heart
i need a part 2 called infinity

I saw this back in 2011. I watched it again in 2012. Then again in 2013. Then 2014. Then 2015. Then 2016. Then 2017. This year, I watched it once again. Every single time, it is by far the best short film I watched that year. This year was no exception. I love this so, so much. Thank you for creating such an inspirational masterpiece. I will continue to watch it every year to come.
Thanks for your support throughout the years. As a fan of the film, you might like to check out Part 2 which we're releasing in February 2019-a graphic novel that continues the story where the short film ends. Check out our Community tab for more info.
@@zealouscreative hey i did not now that! I am subbscribing so i wach it when it comes out! Thank you for a part 2
watch it in 2019 now
"His denomination wasn't allowed to multiply"
"He didn't want to be a negative number"
MATH JOKES!!!
Hehe
O my gawd * hits self with a RULER*
LMFAO 💀 LAUGH MY FRACTION ADDITION OFF, idk why im saying this i hate math
Heheh
XD
So it's basically:
"You can't always add things to be worthy, sometimes you need to put them together"
Guy that hate me: Ha Ha I'm 100 times better than You! Zero!
Me: 0×100=0
Oooooooh
Hold up... i know that vine...
100: wait...... OH COME ON!
logic, u cool

I love how even though he is so discriminated against he still is so nice and positive, for example when he gave the ducks food. So wholesome
The real hero was that 6. What a nice lady
The nurse?
@@twist_ending7545 Yes.
The one at the end or beginning?
Is the 6 at the start heroic at all?
She was the one that brought zero in the beginning of the video
I watched this when I was a kid forever ago and always related to Zero, but couldn't understand exactly how yet. I mean I was bullied and ostrazised, but there was always another layer of relatability for me. Then I got diagnosed with autism and ADHD in adulthood, and returning to this video made it finally click.
Zero: *Gets out of store*
Worker: *Pulls Zero back in and throws him out again*
Me: wtf
Yep
I thouht that to
Yeah, I thought that too. I was afraid he was setting him up to blame for something.
Gacha Dm it’s to create anticipation. He doesn’t pulls him back. It’s more similar to when you pull your arm back when you prepare to punch in order to create more energy. It’s also a principle of animation btw.
Lol 😂
I remember watching this with my lil sis when we were younger and this is one of the animations that got me interested in story telling and animation, and now I'm pursuing my career in the arts. :D
Good luck, man!!
The same thing happened to me but with photography
:D
Good luck!
“Hey look I’m pregnant”
Society: no
“Hey look I got a baby”
Society: yes
Yeah ur right
The baby turned out deformed as they all suspected it would be. I find it out of character for them not to just put it out of its misery right there and then.
Also, why did the female have a get-out-of-jail-free-card? As a male, I'm offensively triggered by this blatant sexism.
Idk, I know it’s kinda stereotypical. I think it’s to isolate them but that sounds stupid
Well the number on the person determines their importance like a 9 could become a a president and and infinity gains infinite respect and is basically prayed to like a god so they thought they need to aid such a being
I love the details like the yarn being more messy as the numbers got lower, and the fact that two 0's make infinity if you mush them together. Small touches like that really make a good film.
I learnt something in Zero's school as well... They say that zeros' were not aloud to multiply... Because if they did they would have restored the monarchy. (King/Queen).. So there was not a king and queen.. They were scared of them being the superior ones again so they treated them badly and hid the truth from people
There was nothing like that in the video.
Yung Boris if that was the case there would be 81s and whatnot, the child is random.
@@emmaf7021 Sounds like a jesus deal. Like the idea of some born king but two heads?
this is just our world except we don't know our numbers
Yes we do, beauty, money and talents are the numbers
Faris Wasique hi im -10
im the square root of -1
Oh yeah I'm a 70 I'm so much better than you.
We can make our own numbers
This is the right side of RUclips..
Not Some kids playing fortnite or streamers streaming just for money...
If I could only pressed the 👍 button million times.
They make these films for money too.. and they like making videos whats the difference honestly
@@rayneang5153 those aren't videos
Those are streams..that's the difference
Mostly of them are streaming for money,asking for donations only...
now This is the person who is right,For This The youtube Created,In face ,the whole internet created for edication stuff,really Respect you and the vid ,U take a like from me fella!
Yep
I remember watching this shortly after I turned 9, and I'm 18 now. How time has passed since then, right?! This holds up so well even after all those years, and i couldn't be more glad to see this pop up into my recommendations again!!!
same experience here!
It has been 7 long years, but I still can’t stop these freakin’ tears streaming down my face every time❣️
Same mate me eyes cant stop flooding
R u serious? Am crying
This really helped me though the darkest times I have autism and ADHD I was being bullied by the kids at school
You are precious!❣️
What's autism
It's a show called the good doctor and there is a dude with autism but I forgot what it was but thanks for answering
☺️
Im also adhd and my best friend and they called us druggies just of our pills and we dont overdose so yeah but we became friends now so it over
*couple years later*
Infinity: dad where was I born?
Zero: on the streets.
Infinity: you’re joking right...
Zero: no
Alfred, street nigga forreal
Infinities*
PF FR
Alfred Zecret but he's number is higher than anything meaning that he's going to become the king of that world with numbers
Every year, I find myself returning to this masterpiece whenever I feel like I've hit rock bottom. Watching this always reminds me that whether I was destined to be a 0, 3, or even an 8-nothing can and should stop me from reaching as high as infinity. It's been 8 years since I first saw this, and I will sure as hell make sure that all my kin to come will know this story and remember that wherever they may end up, not even the sky will be their limit.
its all fun and games till there’s a -1
Whats a -1?
Like wanting without ego? what if two people, same, and 1 piece pie? Than what?
🤕🤕😭😭😭😭
That's not like 0 if you divide 0 then you get infinity but if you divide -1 you get 1

Hi person scrolling through the comments! I just wanted to say, that I felt upset and alone while watching this ( not because it was bad, because it’s sad 😔 and it’s supposed to be sad) and I don’t want you to feel like that. Think about everyone you have got. And I’m here to remind you that you are not alone. I’m by your side as well. Have a wonderful day. Your never alone :)
Thank yoy very much!! Have a Nice day ♡
This is so nice 😭😳😄😍 Thank you!
Thank u!!❤😘😅😁
Thank you, wish you have a good day too 😊
Thank u sooo much same 2 u
I loved that how a normal person can be an angel or "the reason to live" for someone ❤️
What are you talking about?
Ull make me cry 🥺
it's screwed up to follow that philosophy, people even different or strange ones deserve to live equally as to the normal. what is so wrong with being unique? is it really a crime to be different or have challenges :/
@@angelthegardevoirdamsel6962 it isnt a crime
Its more of a balance between the two
Having somebody to care for u
Is undeniably nice while u r trying to overcome the challenges to ur goal
(U should also be ideally equally caring back
Cuz selfishness doent work with care )
An angel I don't think so could be your own guard angel because when you are not happy you always will try to find someone like you but when the world try to kill you the good persons really doesn't exist close to you. Psicologie.
This is honestly the most beautiful short film I have ever seen. The art work is so detailed and carefully made and the over all story sends a gorgeous and powerful message. Thank you for making this :D
oml the two 0’s faces when they smile IS JUST SO CUTE AND WHOLESOME
I remember watching this when I was young, it felt like a movie to me.
same
I'd cry like a biiihh 😭😭😭
Thats cute c:

Ahh.. childhood
You guys do know that this video is a nod towards social classes and not racism... right?
I mean, your proof is right here. 1:21
First Class (8, 9)
Upper Middle Class (5, 6, 7)
Lower Middle Class (1, 2, 3, 4)
Third Class (0)
Also at 4:55 the numbers that beat up '0' are 2, 3 and 4; part of the lower middle class. The way I see it they are taking out their anger and frustration on smaller numbers that have small or no chance at all!
o shit it is
I think it shows people's importance in the world by what the media says
Anonymous AJ nice
Anonymous AJ you just gave proof of it being about racism
For some reason, I was sucked into a sad "short film" binge marathon, and this is the first one to not make me cry. Congrats on making me smile, author. 👍
Zeros:*smile*
Police: *STOP YOUR ARE SURROUNDED!*

Smiling is Illegal!
World is cruel.
Arresting people for smiling is not very smart **no offence**
Lol
I thought that "The Maker" is the saddest and most touching short film that I have seen in my life. But, no, THIS is the saddest and most touching short film that I have seen in my life. 😥👏
(es_es)!!!
It has a happy ending tho
Watch miracle in cell no 7

The moral of the story is to treat everyone around you with respect no matter which gender or race they are
I totally agree. Each being is equally sacred, for it comes from the Same Source.
Or income or profession as well.
Or number!
Yeah your right
The moral of the story is that lower thought of peoples are okay as long as they give birth to the superior race. It's a fail, IMHO.
I feel like this symbolizes how society (programming) keeps us from our true potential - leaving us feeling like "not enough".
In the rain scene, the shine leaves his eyes and I find that sad. It’s probably just the lighting but it looks like he gives up
"So, how can nothing... become something?!"
This is stuck in my mind.
such is the way of life and life itself, friend.

How did we even existed?
That’s the answer...
An answer that has to be answered as well...
0 + 0 = ∞

it makes REALLY sense.
Infinity outcomes
and 2 + 2 = 4
Valeria J.V. I get it
I remember watching this, years ago. I just remembered it, as I was watching some random video, endlessly scrolling through RUclips. The joy of watching it again... It has made my month. I absolutely love this, and always will. Thank you so much for putting so much time and effort into this. It truly is a masterpiece.
Thank you for the kind words. We really appreciate it.
@@zealouscreative woah, no problem! I can't believe you responded, thats awesome! ^^
I visit these old animations then and then, lot of fun
The moral of the story: Dont disrespect homeless people, as they may give birth to two headed god of infinite creation.
Got that right chief
It's above racism that's why they used brown wool and the kids were mean to him before he was homeless
@@miss-kiki7960 its not talking about or above racism its warning us not to disregard hobos or they will birth a two headed god of creation
@@miss-kiki7960 no, thats because he was a 0, like someone who came from a poor family and would never succeed. brown wool was just a coincidence. I'll also have you know what I said made PERFECT sense. one time, I ignored this homeless begger (who was most definently pregnant with an infini-god) it resulted in my death by the hands of a being of infinite power
@@miss-kiki7960 Im a ghost? I thought that would be pretty obvious.
I've watched this when i was like 12 years old... Now, I'm 17 and I'm still admiring this masterpiece! I hope you do more short films!
We have something new coming in October. You may also be interested in checking out Part 2 of the Zero Story - bit.ly/Zero-The-Beginning
is it just me or the 0's are actually adorable no matter what number they are or different?
Ik! They’re the most wholesome looking
Man, this Video was one of the first i can remember watching on youtube. I was 4 or 5 at that time and couldn't speak english a single bit. (Am German)
And one particular scene is stuck in my head since i was young, but i never found this video until now again. I remember even tho i couldn't understand a single bit, i still felt with the Zeros. I am glad that i can now fully understand what it is about.
Great Video! Hope ya have a nice day!
Thanks for sharing your story. Glad you found it again.
Ending: Lovely
Everyone: 🧍🏼♀️🧍🏼🧍🏼♀️🧍🏼🧍🏼♀️
Guy at the window: :D

Did you notice how the ending actually said, The Beginning? :D
I remember watching this when i was a kid I almost forgot this exist, then yt recommend this 9 years from now wow.
But this is still Master piece 👌
ChEeRs!¡ ✌🎊
Omg same but I just randomly remembered it now and I searched it lmao
Same bruv. I watched this back when I was super young.. I didn't knew what was going on in the story but I liked it anyways
@@girlgonblu dude same
I watch this like 4 years ago. Time flies
God the amount of symbolism and deeper meaning in this is astonishing! I felt like I read a great work of literature yet it is stylised in a way that you could even show this to kids and it would get over a fair amount of the same message.
We appreciate the kind words.
I stumbled upon this short a few years ago. Watched it because i love stop motion, and the visual style looked neat. Wasn't expecting it to be so heartfelt and sweet. I really felt for Zero. You did a phenomenal job. Everyone who worked on it did. Occasionally, I will think about this short from time to time whenever life isn't the greatest or downright bad. Love this short so much
THIS NEEDS TO GET A OSCAR.
YOU need to learn how to spell. (Sorry)
@@TankerDaBoisStudios what was written wrong tho?
YES

Your correct
YAH
I love how it ends with 'the beginning'.

Spoiler alert
I don't get it
Oh my god, I remember this when I was 13 years old. And now I'm 14, back to watching this. It's still masterpiece.
Nobody realizes that...
Thanks to 0... 100 is 100, 100000 is 100000, and 1000000 is 1000000. If 0 did not exist, the value of these numbers will be just 1!
Oh my goodness! I didn't think of it like that. *BIG BRAAIN*
what about 999, 9999, 99999 and 9999999?
We’re talking about 0, not 9
@@Wolf-cy3yu we are not talking about 1 either lol. Don’t worry bro, I’m just joking

Moral of the story: Everything starts from nothing.
Couldn't have said it better myself man
From Zero to the infinity and beyond
@UmUrso Amarelado Mom?
but is zero nothing or a balance? in addition it is a neutral element instead as in multiplication and it is in the middle of all negative and positive numbers ;)
(perhaps of the invers it get to infinite :O)

count form Zero instead from One, like most others ^^

I used to watch this show when I like 7 years old in my dad Mac. At that time this show used to make me sad. It's been a long time I didn't watch this video. But one day in 2021 I suddenly remember this show, and I remember the video name is zero so I checked it out and I'm so glad its still here now this show make me learn a valuable lesson: if the person is low profile, doesn't mean he's a useless man
Eight feels insecure because of how small he is compared to bigger numbers, Then he layed sideways and felt much better
R/whoosh
Everyone was correct, 0 & 0 made a mutant 2 headed ball of string with a 8 on its side. They should never have tangled strings 😡

Yes friendly hero

Plot twist: Zero becomes an anti villain. Any number divided by zero is zero, therefore he doesn't loose.
The medium of the animation, the metaphor, the presentation and at the end infinity... I had expected 10
This was beautiful
This is a part of my childhood

Zero is the highest number, you know why? Because if you multiply any number by zero it's still zero
🤔
What about 000000
😜
Hmm...
🤔
I love the fact that they didn't have zero be less abled or, weaker, he was able to be and able to be strong, it wasn't the number or the string that stopped him, it was a the system
Exactly. And if you want to see true strength of character, check out the follow-up Zero story that continues from where the film ends. Zero changes the system - bit.ly/Zero-The-Beginning
For those who did not realize, the numbers represent what social class they are.
It was kind of obvious
"For those who did not realize"
This was so adorable and inspirational. I don't see why people find it offensive. Why does everything have to be about negativity? Can't you people see any beauty and positivity in anything
its ok
YASSssSSS
Slamblaster it's not about just racism with white people and black people, it's about discrimination in social classes eg. the rich and the poor.
Am legit crying now. This i what the future is about. We need more of these and not a despacito. Awesome storywriting and animation. And remember folks, no matter how you are and how you look, there will always be someone out there willing to love you with all their heart. Just believe. Be brave and kind. Peace.
