"BROKEN" Better smashed than possessed! Animated Short by Patrick Smith.

- It is better to be broken than be possessed by evil.
In this animated short film, Brittle glass characters are divided into two sides: the broken and the intact. The spirits that dwell within are either pure or rotten. The broken remain on their side, to waste away into shattered bits. But the shards have a healing property, a process exploited by an ambitious dark soul who desires to be whole, and part of a possessed, twisted, robotic tribe. But it is better to be broken and pure, than be intact and possessed. Once tripped, smashed, and deprived of his glass body, the dark soul timidly rises, twisting upward, but is soon ripped down violently, and consumed mercilessly by the unbroken. #animation In "BROKEN" we go beyond the broken wine glass trope, the world in which these glass people dwell has evolved. The wine cups from previous stories have been replaced by characters with spherical heads, just as brittle as before. They shatter easily when struck, but also they are pliable and stretch and move.
Directors note:
For some reason this film evolved the way it did.. a bit creepy and twisted, but meaningful nonetheless. In many ways this animation reflects my belief that evil is often found in what we perceive as beauty or perfection, and conversely, goodness is found in what we dismiss as "broken" or unworthy. It's interesting to note that many Catholic Saints were broken or misled prior to conversion. Regardless of the meaning that viewers glean from this animation, I truly hope you enjoy it, and please share as much as possible. Huge thanks to my supporters both on Patreon and the members on RUclips. I'm hoping that this piece will resonate as a meaningful animated short film. Thank you in advance for watching!

Oh boy cant wait for lazy tictok creators to make over 100M views on a video and not even give credit to the original creator
Worst when you know the working of this animation began in January
that's why i left tiktok.. they don't do anything about copies and stealing.
I came from Tiktok lol
Me too g
And that's how I ended up here kept getting bits and pieces of the clips wanted to watch the whole clip with no interruptions
My interpretation of this video would be about the different social status in the world;
The brokens live in suffering due to their kindness, because the "smiley"s are taking advantage of it in order to reach this state bliss they seem to be in.
However, since selfishness is what brought them to this point, the smileys aren't hesitant in bringing down those weaker than them, even those of their own.
As they say: "The bigger they are, the harder they fall"
The other way I'd interpret the ending is it's showing how the rich and selfish will never be remembered in a good light. In any case, this is some very good wordless writing.
It reminds me of the dilemma where you choose to either live in an immortal world of constant agony where every day, one random person gets to forever leave for a world of bliss, or live in an immortal world of constant bliss where every day, one person is sent into eternal suffering.
this is pretty good. my own intentions are in the description if you are interested.
I thing he are just hungry

how many people are there in both worlds
A strange detail is how the corrupted feel… robotic. From the lifeless grins, to the mechanical ticking when said grins contort, it just makes the unbroken seem soulless.
Also, I noticed that one unbroken being held together by tape, presumably avoiding the gluttony of their peers.
good observation about the tape! i didn't think anyone would notice that detail.
@@PatrickSmithAnimation I noticed it.
I thought it meant that unbroken had been broken before. but it also makes since that they are simply trying to not break. So what do they need to eat to stay unbroken? or perhaps them needing to eat is like a metaphor for them trying to stay full? like even though they are unbroken they are actualy hollow in their hearts? iN SOMEWAYS YOU COULD ARGUE they actualy are Broken because they behave broken while the others merely look broken. In truth maye they are just a differant kind of broken. Because they look insane, they look more like they could go crazy and break at any moment. No one with such deluted smiles could ever truely not be broken somewhere. But being corrupt, isn't that a form of broken in it's own right?
@@PatrickSmithAnimation8 noticed, I was just assuming that he was breaking and was next in line to switch places in this very c9nfusing pour society
@@megareavermickeybot7985 YAPPER
I noticed it as well, I thought it was to show how he was also selfish and had to break someone else to get to the “top” hence the tape keeping him together.
It's better to be unhappy but sane than to be happy but crazy

basically ilegal substances
I'm happy I'm insane but I suffer from depression

I hope you feel better, or the symptoms clear up, as no one should have to deal with a constant sadness or loss in interest, or at least I think so.
Basically, don’t do drugs
I seriously used to believe the white bird is the protagonist of the show. I even cried out so hard when it almost got killed. But the best thing is the bird is actually the best side by presenting the true reason of being “alive”.
🎯
The bird reminded me of saint spirit in Christianity when it led good guy's soul somewhere
@@generalwwii2215 ah yes, saints are good at that.
bird representing one that is flying free
Yeah, bro @@generalwwii2215
I would rather be broken and sane than being whole and crazy.
good tag line.
Love how the rude glass guys soil didn't escape when being devoured
Despite the fact that earlier the bird that got devoured managed to escape
Pretty sure the soul of the dude that first died was like:
"Now we're even"
ha totally!
Not really, he semmed horrified
Nothing about "we are even"
*Edit I spelled soul wrong
Just desserts
"No good deed goes unpunished." Is how it feels at times. Some people give and help out of the goodness of their hearts, but they must be wary of those who take advantage of their kindness.
The state of their souls also are symbolic: The one that died broken and miserable, but was kind, had a clean, unbroken looking spirit, but the selfish one that was whole again, had a dirty, patchwork looking spirit that was then devoured by the other "happy" looking ones. There is no escape when you cross "the line" to be happy by betraying others.
this. thx for the thoughtful comment.
You got it!
The pure spirit is so nice, he actually tried to rescue the rotten spirit from being eaten.
I've just binge-watched the entire Pour series and I absolutely adore it. It perfectly encapsulates the views of Humanity. Religion, sexuality, politics. You're allowed to be one thing or another. You're allowed to have one view or another. You beat down those you fight with to be accepted by everybody else, and you force those weaker than you to suffer more. Lots are indoctrinated into a single way of life, and those who don't fit that mould are ostracised and ridiculed by everybody else.
I'm gay and autistic; never fit in to that perfect mould that schools teach you to be and was alienated by everyone. These animations have resonated with me on a personal level because of this.
Great work mate. hats off to you
thanks SO much. I love that you took the time to watch every pour vid. you're the best.
@@PatrickSmithAnimation The pleasure is all mine. Thank you for these fantastic animations

I click
Indeed
Sometimes the broken ones are the good ones but the perfect ones are the bad ones
Example: Napoleon
One thing I really love about Patrick's work is that there's never really a "right" interpretation. He just makes these weird little artist animations that make you stop and think, and maybe consider things about yourself and others that you hadn't acknowledged before.
With regards to this one, I personally see this as a warning about shallowness and conformity. It's better to stay true to your own identity, even if you are what others consider to be a "broken" or "failed" individual, rather than turn into a twisted parody of yourself trying to fit in with what's "accepted". Because in the end, all those who blindly conform develop the same self-centered mindset, and will not hesitate to tear your right back down again for their own gratification.
Spot on.
@@PatrickSmithAnimation This one was my favorite interpretation too!
Saw some stupid AI voice channel stole this for some bs short, had to track down the original. Glad im here
give me the link and i'll report it.
Conclusion: evil is delicious
Always appreciate not only the animation but the great sound design! Fantastic work as usual
i was fortunate enough to have Leon Riskin do the music again.. he did POUR 585.
Man, the only thing I got from this is that one kind of person that's as low and as broken as you are and when you take the chance in helping them, they take advantage of it and hurt you in process, not caring that you helped them.
Everything about this was so well done for the smiling glasses. The clicking and robotic movements, the lifelessness, the abnormal smiles, 10/10 worth the wait and was super well done. Beyond excellent job.
thx for the thoughtful comment!
I was thinking this too
Intinya dia berubah 😱😱🎃🎃🧟
Just, *EVERYTHING* about this. The sounds and how the ghost moved were especially fun.
What a way to rediscover the channel
thx for noticing sound! i had a lot of fun drawing the ghosts:)
Todays lesson:don’t attack glass people to become whole, otherwise you will fall over and they will eat your soul
love these short films but they are also quite creepy
this one is VERY creepy.
@@PatrickSmithAnimation indeed
I dont even know what creeped me the most, the faces, or the fact that they ate a soul
Also, the animation it's still cool, I see now why these animations take so long!

the grins spinning around the other glasses gives me chills

Love this little world you've built over the years
1:11
When I think about it, I’d honestly kill to see these things get into a fist fight
the moment we have been waiting for.
I like the little clicky sounds they make when their smile turns. It makes them feel even more “insane”
Imagine a kid watching this and it becomes engraved in their memories like how we used to watch random short animations
that's the goal
@@PatrickSmithAnimation you succeeded
0:47 the guy on the right is very kind hearted, but he don’t take this backstabbed very nicely. this kind hearted guy is vengeful, so don’t try to betray him.
He's got a vengeful spirit
Love the colors and animation
Good to see you back. Cool animation
THE LEGAND HAS RETURNED!!!
MY DUDE WELCOME BACK! YOYR CHANNEL IS THE BEST!!❤
This has got to be your best animation Patrick Smith. From the incredible animations to the robotic sound effects. I also like how to represent the superiority complex and in a way karmas for what the glass got for taking advantage of the one who helped him. Love your work 🤩
Thank you so much! i def worked the hardest on this one.. actually it took too long! next film i'm going to be a bit more quick about it, as I attempt to make a film once every month. thx again for the great comment, please share:)
@@PatrickSmithAnimation Take time if you want, your work is always worth the wait 😊
Another banger from Patrick!
thx
Congrats, your changes to your style has successfully made this much more unsettling than it needed to be, love it, and the message is great to
hahah, i'll take unsettling. that's good. thx for comment
I have to say, the animation is a great deal smoother, and the eyes are insanely more expressive! (Not that they weren't incredibly expressive before)
As good as always. Loved the balance between horror and suspense, definitely worthy for the glass vessels universe. I also love the bird, such a simple character yet it speaks volumes for the story. Keep up the wonderful work Patrick!
I’d like to do more with the bird!
@@PatrickSmithAnimation Oh? I can't wait to see what you got planned :3
you know I'm suprised the Bird didn't break anyone. Are they just not the breaking type or what?
@@PatrickSmithAnimation Please do. It's adorable.
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY FINALLY POST!!! I been thinking of making more ocs that looks like this but I'mma go think for a moment :) I really enjoy your videos and everytime I cry, I always came to watch some of your videos and then I stopped cry, you're the only one who brings me happiness! Also have a greatest great great day!!! 💓:3
such an awesome comment. i live for comments like this.. keeps me going.
@@PatrickSmithAnimationalso I have made 2 characters that looks alike in the video :) I were wondering if you can give them both some name and age! I have Instagram and Twitter tho cuz I can send you the picture of them! :3
Another incredible animation. I love your storytelling, character design, and sound design, Patrick! I love this one the most!
I'm glad to see you're still making AN video (Animation videos) of this. I miss them 😊
3:29 the "no"
Dumbledore said aggressively
yep. had to put that in.
@@PatrickSmithAnimation I'm glad you did
I thought he said "Don't."
That's why being a murderer never pays.
yep.
Idk why but the ratchety/clicking sounds are really satisfying.
I almost feel like that the whole "broken" thing it's more related to the people who are conscious of what is wrong inside themselves. Even though they might be unhappy,, they're more "whole" than their counterparts. The whole and perfect almost feels like those who believe to be that. Perfect and whole. They despise and take advantage of those who are broken, maybe because it's in their nature. Or perhaps because deeply inside, they crave to fill that endless crack inside their boides, just to make sure their idea of perfection remains intact and their world doesn't crumble apart.
You are one who inspires buddy. Lovely animation!
1:24 that glass should’ve emptied faster but oh well Patrick smith logic
HOORAY FOR THE NEW SERIES!! ❤❤❤
That was wild; kinda brutal, too. The animation style lends a great deal to the story.
A good animation worthy of an animation of the year award, it truly does show what is it to be good and bad.
What a fantastic animation you made, really good effort including the eye pupils 👍
thanks for noticing the eyes! had to allow the concept to evolve!
I just LOVE how did you get better wirh the animation on this one!
Like, man... there is particles, sound effects, on everything like... you put so much love on every single part of this animation.
You are a BIG one, Patrick!
thank you for noticing details.
Got here as fast as possible. The animation of their crazy and broken expressions tells it all. This is amazing.
i appreciate that.. i was worried it was too creepy for my subs
This was beautiful it makes no sense but in the best amazing entertainment of a way and the smiles the clicks and sounds perfect
It has been a long time that I’ve seen an animation coming from you, this one is pretty interesting, the glass people, it’s interesting how it works here, the wolf in sheep skin basically, what seems full and good can hide the rotten and broken.
thx for the comment! glad you took the time to watch
Thanks for the masterpiece
Every Patrick Smith upload always puts a *smile* on my face
Cool to see this series continue, great animation Patrick
thanks!

But as always another epic Patrick short film. ❤
I stumbled upon this video while looking for stuff to go to bed to, and it looked neat so I decided to give it a quick watch. And I am SO glad I did. After this I went and watched all of your videos, your POUR videos sometimes twice. Your animation and way of storytelling is phenomenal. I am absolutely in love with the characters and worlds you create. Only something someone with genuine imagination could come up with, I’m blown away. I can’t wait for your next upload. Just don’t work yourself too hard.
I adore the sound design
Those who are broken are actually the once who are fixed, and vice versa.
spot on
I don,t get it
Great work once again! ❤
Thank you so much 😃
i love this i think this is my favorite animation you have done it feels so relaxing to watch this thank you so much for making this you did a good job and i hope we see more of the glass men soon
Inspiring as always! Thanx for making this.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Beautiful work as always ❤
Thank you! 😊
Honestly the most original animation style I have seen since Gerald Scarfe. Refreshing and exciting! Wonderfully moral as well. Kudos to you Mr. Smith!
thanks! that's a very kind thing to say. I'm a huge fan of "the wall"

I remember seeing your stuff when I was younger. Dude, I love the way you animate characters, making stories based on real life, and I even like the sneaky voice acting you put in there :0. I'm glad you didn't stop making glass animations because the interpretations of real life are genius.
This animation is my favourite so far because it touched my heart a bit. The things you have to do for your closest ones in need just for them to leave and look for better things.
Keep up the good work. It is a pleasure to watch your creations :)
Just a like with no comment, let me fix that a little bit
i'm glad this is your favorite, i think it's my fav too.. but i need to speed up the process a bit, this one took 7 months!
