Interesting, definitely can't say I've seen a concept like this before. A giant cat that blows wind at a turbine powered man. Some people just don't appreciate hard work that goes into animation, I should know I just completed a hand drawn animation!
@@KamiTenchi talent doesnt exist, everything is hard work and praying to god wont do anything! go on and draws everyday and learn anatomy ect! i know youre capable of doing it you just need to stop with this notion of ''god given talent'' every artists start the same! good luck!
So if someone steals your best friend, you kill them, they try to kill you, kill your best friend in the progress, you kill them, your best friend revives, and you live happily ever after with the stealer of your best friend dead. Makes sense.
Great short. Imo it is a representation of how jealousy can very easily destroy love.. How quickly love can turn into hatred. Yet if the friendship is strong enough both will make sacrifices for it to work. Man died for his cat. The cat will be blowing the windmill on the mans back to keep him alive for a very long time.
i think a bit differently. i think its a representation of how one should not be afraid and attack the unknown because they might end up being a friend or a major help in the future.
So. For those who don't understand, here is my perspective: the cat and the old man are best friends, and spend all their time together. One day, whilst playing soccer, the ball rolls too far and ends up in a cave. The old man, having gone after it, meets a small sprite creature and begins to play with it. The cat, wondering where his friend has gone, comes into the cave and becomes jealous that the old man is playing with someone else and destroys the ball. When the man wanders off, the cat then kills the sprite; whose ghostly form possesses the windmill and tries to attack. To save his friend, the old man jumps in front of him and is killed. During the night, the old man is somehow turned into one of the sprites (my best guess is that the killed sprite did this, taking on the form of the cat so the old man wouldn't be afraid), with a windmill on his back as a power source, and he and the cat are able to be with each other again.
Wow... This is one of the best animated shorts I've ever seen. It was so cool and really heartwarming. These two don't need anything but each other to be happy... It really is a nice message. Everyone should watch this!
This video is a big part of my childhood. Once i watched it kept seeing some dreams about this cat and images of windmill on someone’s back. Also the main theme was randomly appearing in my head and i was always wondering where is this music from. And now i finally know.Thank you, I am 21 now
Это... прекрасно. У меня нет слов. Интересно, надо постоянно дуть, или достаточно одного сильного раза, в котором будет столько любви и... Хотя забудьте. Но мульт офигенен! Прямо слёзы наворачивает!
I love the bit where the old man uses karate and the scenes in films where a friend/ main protagonist goes rage mode like the cat after the old man's death
is it just me or did that cat just jealously and cruelly kill an innocent spirit being, accidentally made a windmill monster and then made it so the nice old man can't live with out him, literally?
wow. this is amazing. the art style is super cool, and the animating is great. I love seeing how much work people put into such a small video. nice job!
Finally something that explains me why *jealousy* and *vengeance* are a bad thing ! Seriously, it all makes sense now : the only way is cooperation ! It's sad that exploitation exists and that just for that, so much defensive behaviors like these had to come to life in our puny human souls... But you know what's more depressing ? *The comments ! =)*
try watching this while listening to gold by owl city really it suits the video extermely well they even made a video if this short and replaced the music with gold by owl city
эта анимация хорошо проиллюстрировала не только любовь, но и все сопутствующие ей чувства: скуку без любимого, ревность, обиду, испепеляющую страсть вплоть до желания убивать и готовность жертвовать собой...но мне жалко светлячка-мельницу, приходит в его мир какой-то человек, играет с ним, а у него оказывается уже есть кот:)...
Why would they do that? People should know that they stole that video! (They probably bought it because the music industry's so rich they can afford stealing other peoples content.) The music industry is a shame these days...
Solaire of Astora Well, i'm pretty much saying it's stolen cause they bought it'. (sarcastic tone) Do you see owl turd giving any credit to this original short? I don't think so. They just use an animation shortfilm that nobody knows and make people believe they made it. Isn't that the most corrupt thing you've ever seen? At least put some credit to the people who actually took the time to make this. Instead of just taking their video (and buying it for a small amount of money I THINK, i haven't done any research and can't find anything about it so i think this is how it goes.) giving absolutely no credit to those hardworking people who took the time and effort to create this awesome and artistic film. What a shame...
I'm happy to finally find a short animation, with a happy ending. It was sad in the middle, but the end was perfect ! I was crying a bit, but it was replaced by great feelings after that. Thank you !
Its good but what happens when the cat dies? I mean i know the old guy dies too but he still has a little time before the windmill stops so really when the cat dies and cant blow on him the old guy has to suffer the rest of his really short life knowing his bestfriend died and that hes going to die too. Scary if you ask me.
My opinion on this? For the cat's and man's treatment of the creature, the "spirit" thing punishes the cat and the man by killing him. The cat is enraged, and blows back the "spirit" thing, blowing it out. However, another part of the punishment is that the man is brought back alive. However, the only way he can live is if the cat keeps blowing the windmill. The man will die without it. So basically, don't be rude to others?
we cant judge the cat because he was jealous humans often are jealous when a friend plays or does something with someone else the cat hurt the spirit because he was scared to lose someone dear to him its true the man wouldn't have died if the cat didn't attack the spirit but it was the man's choice he would rather die himself than let his best friend die.
Such a strong bond of love. The two of them shared. Nothing could stop them. Not a push, not a shove. They shared every second together. They treasured every moment. They were inseparable. There was nothing that could be better. But when something is new. Something that is beautiful. That can't be explained with words. A new emotion will arise too. She became jealous of them. They shared the same moments. They experienced so much fun. So she lashed out... And cut the stem. He tried to walk away because of the pain. How could she know the cause of her bane? She was attacked, but he got in the way... Why must he have to die on this day? Jealousy has finally taken its toll... It was big, and ugly... Just as a troll! Though he may be gone, and sure to be dead... The memory of him will always remain in her head...
the artist who made this animation has also done work on the environments and aesthetic of the Disney show Gravity Falls. he's really fantastic.
Wow?
FluffyCatGirl1 i have a found a fan :P
Stacy gujadhur
lol :D
:D i know her to
Stacy gujadhur
You do? o.o?
I had a hard time figuring out if the cat was too big or the man was too small
Vat was too big.
+keimi aqlan - I think the cat was too big. :)
Ha! Never thought of that! ;)
I know 😦
Im just thinking........what happened to the human race?
Interesting, definitely can't say I've seen a concept like this before. A giant cat that blows wind at a turbine powered man. Some people just don't appreciate hard work that goes into animation, I should know I just completed a hand drawn animation!
i wish i could
I wish I could too. Drawing is everything too me. Just wish I had the talent such as this. God help me please.
@@KamiTenchi talent doesnt exist, everything is hard work and praying to god wont do anything! go on and draws everyday and learn anatomy ect! i know youre capable of doing it you just need to stop with this notion of ''god given talent'' every artists start the same! good luck!
This is beautyful, the music, the characters, the scenery. Perfection!
i cant believe how such uninteressed things...a windmill, a cat, and a really old man...can make an interessed story
So if someone steals your best friend, you kill them, they try to kill you, kill your best friend in the progress, you kill them, your best friend revives, and you live happily ever after with the stealer of your best friend dead. Makes sense.

That is very true.
Sooooooo is that cat gonna have to blow air on the man's back for the rest of their lives? Or is the thing gonna spin by itself?
+Grim Reaper (Death)
Meadows are windy and they live on one so.
+Grim Reaper (Death) ROFLMAO my thoughts exactly
+Grim Reaper (Death) - I think it'll spin by itself now. :)
Yeah no, pretty sure the wind will stop a little now and then...
Grim Reaper I wouldn't care about that I would care about that repetitive noise it would make every second of you life
That cat's never going to get sleep again.
So. For those who don't understand, here is my perspective: the cat and the old man are best friends, and spend all their time together. One day, whilst playing soccer, the ball rolls too far and ends up in a cave. The old man, having gone after it, meets a small sprite creature and begins to play with it.

Damn ninjas, cutting onions and shit...
Yeah, they don't want the smell of onions in their homes so they sneak into our houses to cut them... Damn those sneaky ninjas!
I love how none of the characters ever say a word, and yet you can feel the emotion through the animation and music. It's wonderful.
This is an absolutely beautiful video, the music, the lighting, the art style, the story. Everything about this video was amazing.
Wow... This is one of the best animated shorts I've ever seen. It was so cool and really heartwarming. These two don't need anything but each other to be happy... It really is a nice message. Everyone should watch this!
I used to watch this long time ago.
And it's still here.
The Butterfly Dragon brought me Here.

BiggityBiggity Bunny same its amazing ;--;
4:20
THE PAW SLAM HOLY HELL THIS IS AMAZING
IKR OH MAH GOSH
is it a coincidence that you put that on 4:20 ?
Spell ICUP Nigga 420 BLAZE IT BRAH XD
Wait I don't get it what paw slam?
4:30 * ^^
Finally! An animated short with a happy ending that isn't obviously trying to make a point about something! I really liked this one, great job
awww not only the vid, but the music, gosh i love this type of music ^^
I feel bad for the ball
XD
The music sounded so much like the secret of kells, and I love it :D
This video is a big part of my childhood. Once i watched it kept seeing some dreams about this cat and images of windmill on someone’s back. Also the main theme was randomly appearing in my head and i was always wondering where is this music from. And now i finally know.Thank you, I am 21 now

Depressing but lovely. The characters are lovable, the art style is simplistic, and I like how it switches between stop-motion and actual animation.
This a great and super unique animation. Wonderfull job :D
still a bettet love story than twilight
**better
Someone had to say it
Why do you all hate the cat ;_; cat is best
Because they're jerks?
Shut up, cats are fabulous BECAUSE their sassy
MrRawrasaurz cats r best
MrRawrasaurz cuz ppl don't care about cats any more they'd rather be with dogs i like the cat tho
MrRawrasaurz i love teh kitteh :3
Really underrated.
Those 311 people who disliked are heartless. This animation was really heart warming!
I dont get this world. This video should have like billions of views.its simply amazing. Its got soul.
The end was weird but awesome at the same time
so sweet! :D
Is anybody else reminded of The Secret of Kells wile watching this? Especially the style?
Yeah! I adore that movie, it's one of my favorites.
I love the bit where the old man uses karate and the scenes in films where a friend/ main protagonist goes rage mode like the cat after the old man's death
Such a beautiful animation. Very adorable! :V
owl city - gold brought me here
same lel
Fuck Owl City
+Sebastian Ponce yeah, plus this video was stolen to make their gay fucking hippie song about taking flight to the sky and shit.
Darkclaw Draws ikr it makes me feel mad about it...
+Sebastian Ponce well this was just a vid they copied this one cuz of the music vid if u dont like it then why r u here?
So touching...
love the art style!
hehe
Beautiful.
That was so amazing and the fact I was a kid I love it
This is amazing! where can I find more from this guy? or this team?
is it just me or did that cat just jealously and cruelly kill an innocent spirit being, accidentally made a windmill monster and then made it so the nice old man can't live with out him, literally?
Yep, that's exactly what happened
How nostalgic...
This work is amazing! This animation, paired with a very expressive soundtrack makes you feel for the characters within minutes. This is so great!
from all the cartoon shows I watched, this is the only cartoon animation tat is heartwarming. whoever made this must be very special.
when one is jealous
they can harm the ones
most dear to them
3:43 where you think you're going, bitch! (Slams the damn thing to the ground) :3
I mean, we all knew that flying piece of shit was gonna get squashed
SAVAGE AS HECK
The thing didn't even do anything though.....it interacted with the guy, the cat got jealous, attacked it, and the thing fought back
So he has to forever blow on the mill thing or his master dies? that kinda sucks...
Actually, wouldn't it kind of....blow.....
***** ...
***** ...
Lol
***** now is not the time for puns
The animation style is so charming! Love it
purrr
wow. this is amazing. the art style is super cool, and the animating is great. I love seeing how much work people put into such a small video. nice job!
Naaawww :3 so cute...
Finally found this again
2:21
Me when I see a Spider
This gives me such a Secret of Kells vibe I love it
Finally something that explains me why *jealousy* and *vengeance* are a bad thing !
Seriously, it all makes sense now : the only way is cooperation !
It's sad that exploitation exists and that just for that, so much defensive behaviors like these had to come to life in our puny human souls...
But you know what's more depressing ?
*The comments ! =)*
97 people dont have a giant cat to blow on their windmill XD
That sounded so wrong lol
make that 347 ;-;
I cried. Did anyone else cry?
I cried
Almost every time I watch this I cry.
I cry
i cri
Awwww, :'3
:3
:'D
='-'=
Lol .D
I loved that! The widdle windmill spirit was so cute!!!
I love the subtle twists of fate infused with real emotions and abstract characters. Very well done piece here.
I cried.... Anyone else who cried?
Me
me...
Omg so sad I'm crying but I still loved it
Where can I find the music for this?
Yoriko Arran I didn't found the name of the song but I'm obsessed with that music style and is called "Celtic Music" (sorry for the bad english)
+Clara Baldacci hey guys look for "grass land" from the game heroes might and magic, it's not the same song
but kind of sound like it
+lapetitepatate1 Thanks! I've been searching for this long time agoo
try watching this while listening to gold by owl city
really it suits the video extermely well
they even made a video if this short and replaced the music with gold by owl city

I remember when this was posted... God I feel old but I love it
I remember watching this when I was 8 the memories 😢🤧
IT WAS THE CATS FAULT
Christina Bankhead agreed also did u mean cat?
exactly it wasn't the flying things fault. it was the cat. fuk u cat
Logic The cat did it out of jealousy, he was kinda tossed to the side when the new thing appeared
has any one seen this thing for Gold by Owl City
chunmuns goel Mee >3< i like owl city soooo much
*+chunmuns goel* yes
Mee
yeah
MEEEEE!!!!
I cannot express how much I love this!
So beautiful, so nice done. A very poetic story.
if he stopes blowing on him does the old man stop moving?? and Ps great animation! =]
I think this is very artistic?
Owl City used this for his Gold video. o:
Why would they do that? People should know that they stole that video! (They probably bought it because the music industry's so rich they can afford stealing other peoples content.) The music industry is a shame these days...
You're not very familiar with Owl City, are you? Also, if someone buys something, it's not being stolen. :/
Solaire of Astora Well, i'm pretty much saying it's stolen cause they bought it'. (sarcastic tone) Do you see owl turd giving any credit to this original short? I don't think so.

What a shame...
Owl City never claimed he made it.. I don't think you have any idea what bullshit you're spouting.
Go home Mateo, your question was a valuable and agreeable one and wasn't based on uncertain facts like my comment.
I'm happy to finally find a short animation, with a happy ending. It was sad in the middle, but the end was perfect ! I was crying a bit, but it was replaced by great feelings after that. Thank you !
wow, this video is actually amazing, the animation style and THE PLOT are awesome
Its good but what happens when the cat dies? I mean i know the old guy dies too but he still has a little time before the windmill stops so really when the cat dies and cant blow on him the old guy has to suffer the rest of his really short life knowing his bestfriend died and that hes going to die too. Scary if you ask me.
Rae Zekany the cat and man will be together. It relies on wind too.
This film was meant to be earn the oscar prize
All went well until a Dog named Clifford comes by
and the fire nation.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT CLIFFORD!!!! =_= evil dog....
And then they married and had some Cake.
I just love this animation. It seems very abstract; very distant from many other.. "cliche" animations. It also taught me a couple things sorta.
The movements of the characters look so natural!
Someone pass the tissues please...
>Zoreah: Hand the random human a tissue< Here...| guess *Hands you tissue*
Angeline Swaffard mak meh cy ery tim
Who came here because of Owl City?
+plopyorange8100 I did bc it's obvious theft from OC.
I know
+AsheoftheDead This wasnt stolen.
Yeah the other comment I made got eaten, but basically the "fan made" video used this and put it to Gold by Owl City.
My opinion on this?
For the cat's and man's treatment of the creature, the "spirit" thing punishes the cat and the man by killing him. The cat is enraged, and blows back the "spirit" thing, blowing it out. However, another part of the punishment is that the man is brought back alive. However, the only way he can live is if the cat keeps blowing the windmill. The man will die without it.
So basically, don't be rude to others?
Я в шоке! Это великолепная работа!
Very creative I must say! :D Beautifully animated too!
I know put a blow dryer on his back :3
You would have to keep it plugged in
True true
second sun
maybe an electric fan
I don't like that cat......
Why exactly, may I ask?
That cat is the reason why the old man died.
Marion Brainard the cat killed the innocent little spirit
we cant judge the cat because he was jealous humans often are jealous when a friend plays or does something with someone else the cat hurt the spirit because he was scared to lose someone dear to him its true the man wouldn't have died if the cat didn't attack the spirit but it was the man's choice he would rather die himself than let his best friend die.
I guess your right there but the story could have resorted to a better ending then this...
Aw this was beautiful. The cat got jealous and then smashed the thing and in the end the old man had to save the kitty because he loved him. Awww
Such a strong bond of love.
The two of them shared.
Nothing could stop them.
Not a push, not a shove.
They shared every second together.
They treasured every moment.
They were inseparable.
There was nothing that could be better.
But when something is new.
Something that is beautiful.
That can't be explained with words.
A new emotion will arise too.
She became jealous of them.
They shared the same moments.
They experienced so much fun.
So she lashed out... And cut the stem.
He tried to walk away because of the pain.
How could she know the cause of her bane?
She was attacked, but he got in the way...
Why must he have to die on this day?
Jealousy has finally taken its toll...
It was big, and ugly... Just as a troll!
Though he may be gone, and sure to be dead...
The memory of him will always remain in her head...
Amazing! Very nice and Heartwarming, I loved it every step of the way!
This is a great story! And how it is drawn, and the storyboard. the ideas!
I feel kinda sorry for the Windmill Spirit. Really nice work, I have a lot of questions about it! :)
Aw that giant cat was so freaking adorable! 😆
That's adorable... :) Lovely work.
I'm going to see it later again and interpretate it.
I'm in tears... so sad but beautiful.. oh god, well done!
Wow just...WOW this is a REALLY good animation with good plot and art style 10/10 in my books
4:00 and that's why cats try to catch red laser dots till this day
Wow absolutely fascinating. Fantastic animation!!! :D
D'aaw..I love the animation style. The video is very heartwarming and sad at one point. I just LOVE videos like this. ;w;
