i may have cried. this is genuinely one of the best video essays i've ever seen. your story about your grandfather and how you weave it into the narrative of fantastic mr. fox is truly- well- fantastic.
Without a doubt my favorite video essay ever. One thing that was glossed over that I really like is Mr. Fox’s grocery store toast in the end. In contrast to his boastful toast before the feast in the burrows, he gathers off-brand synthetic foods and declares that although the food is all fake, it’s sufficient.
Listening to her conclude her grandfather’s story, with the jazz that had backgrounded the whole video becoming center stage… a Master class in storytelling right there. Hit me like a train.
'He lives in the past first' - incredible insight from the dialogue, well done! The analogy to your grandfather (RIP) is wonderful. Personally, contentment is something tangible for me, happiness is not. But being content makes it easier to be happy, which is awesome 💯
This was really awesome, RIP your grandfather. Really moved by the quotes "do not seek happiness, seek contentment" and "sometimes giving your time to someone else, may be nothing for you, but everything for them."
i’ve been hitting a tough rut in my life. i find myself disccociating a lot and living in the past as my present. watching this video at an ungodly hour of the day and feeling the gentle touch of a message that was so eloquently explained gives me some level of contentment. my accomplishments are not a measure of my person, and i’m grateful to have learned that again
This shit genuinely made me sit there in awe, like the way you tied everything you experienced to the movie, to the music, to the pickup on the little details in dialogue, the perfect recipe for a perfect video essay
I cried at your outro My grandmother passed in March of 2023, just 2 months before my graduation. She was so excited to see me at my graduation and so excited to see me start college. I'm in college to be a seamstress, something she had done for many decades after losing her job. Fantastic Mr. Fox has been a comfort movie for me as of late. And your video is so amazing, please keep this up.
holy shit, this is the most beautiful, touching and significant video essay I've ever watched. the way you articulate your thoughts and constructed this in such a way that flows so smoothly truly has me fascinated. how you managed to weave in the themes of the story; touching on classism, existentialism, patriarchy/toxic masculinity, along with story of you and your grandfather, so coherently is beyond me. I don't think I'll ever be forgetting those final few words; "don't strive to be happy, strive to be content. it's more fulfilling and it lasts longer"
When I saw the title of your video, at first I was scared it was gonna be one of those “settle and keep your expectations low” kinda video, so i’m glad that wasn’t the case at all. I totally agree with the notion that happiness/contentment is a state of mind. “Life is fantastic when we choose to view it as such” is a great line, we choose to feel happy, content and grateful for what we already have, only then we can achieve happiness, trough contentment and gratitude for the good things in life. Once we feel content, we can also feel happy within that contentment. Happiness isn’t something you should actively search for, but find in whithin yourself. It is a conscious choice, YOU make your life fantastic. This is a Very good video essay, and the story of your grandpa was delightful and touching.
Can't believe this amazing review is not famous yet. I reckon you have explained exactly what the movie wanted to transmit. P. D: Your grandfather was a fantastic person😁
the fish looks to whale and asks “do you know where I can find the ocean?” the whale looks at him with an eye of disdain and says “you're standing in it” the fish says “no this is water. what I'm looking for is the ocean”
I loved this analysis in so many ways that I won’t try to explain all that your perspective on this film made me feel and think. There’s clearly so much beautiful wisdom to be found in this film and I only love it even more now after seeing this. My grandmother passed recently and I feel like she had a similar role in my life and the lives of so many of my family members to what you describe your grandfather having in your own life. So what you said at the end there really resonated with me to the point of drawing a few tears. Thank you for making this fantastic video essay!
A comment I heard from another essay was ‘Sometimes I find things just when I needed them the most’, and I think this video essay was found by me at just the right time. Thank you
This was really well put together it should have more views that being said you were incredibly insightful I feel like this video shows a clear picture of the meaning of this film
the grandfather segment was so emotional and profound but sentimental and nostalgic and loving all at once, i can tell the clips were chosen carefully and tied together they made a beautiful sequence of scenes that conveyed your points so well, i loved this essay so much definitely one of my favorites
Fuck im not crying, you are. Didn"t expect to get such a hard punch to the guts right at the ending. As someone who lost a dad, an uncle, a cousin and all my grandparents it gets really hard sometimes not to dwell in what has gone (my father never made it through my hs graduation either) and be grateful for whats left. As also someone who struggles a lot with finding happines, contentment and meaning in life as a general, your video was truly - well - fantastic and made me feel all sorts of funny ways inside!
Oh man, this made me cry. That last bit about your grandpa is so touching and I totally understand having some form of art remind you of someone who hasn't seen it! That happens to me all the time! Great analysis. I saw the movie for the first time over the summer and I was surprised by how different it felt. I was surprised it came out in 2009--way ahead of its time.
Wow, every once and a while I’ll see a video that kind of leaves me with that feeling when you finish a show you’ve been watching for a long time. That empty feeling where I just get room to think and process, this is one of those videos. It’s amazing how in depth this goes, and I this video alone made me subscribe. The story of your Grandfather (rest in peace) was absolutely incredible, sad, and uplifting all at once. I’ve found myself thinking about my own grandfather recently, I feel like I need to live up to how my grandfather and his father lived their lives. I miss him because I cant remember all that much about him aside from the stories my parents and extended family can recall, and that makes me sad. So this was absolutely felt. I really think this deserves more views, this is one of my absolute favorite movies and I didn’t even catch on to all of the themes in the movie. Wonderful work, well done 💙
I knew this was going to be wholesome (I love this movie) but nothing could've prepared me for this!! So beautiful, gentle and kind 💖 I'm so grateful for seeing this 💖
That was truly beautiful, meaningful and touching. So well written, thank you for putting this out into the world. Your message touched me in a moment of darkness
My grandmother also passed away in my junior year of high school so the part of the video about your grandfather (and him not making it to your graduation) just opened the floodgates. I’ve been a bit emotionally numb to her death during the chaos of college and this video gave me space to cry and feel those feelings again. You’ve provided some much needed catharsis. The whole essay is brilliant, and you balance+analyze so many themes, but the way you weave your/your grandfather’s story into the narrative is so beautiful and profound❤️ Thank you
Beautifully spoken and expressed. I find comfort knowing there's someone that gets this movie the same way I do. I love my dumb simple life. A job I enjoy, a place to sleep, food on the table, and family/friends that I enjoy spending time with. Nothing wrong with wanting more, but to be content with what you need, is a FANTASTIC thing. (hehe)
This was so sweet. I’ve never actually watched the movie but remember seeing it being advertised. I will surely watch it now! Your connection with your grandfather sounds lovely and it’s a special thing that this movie continues that connection for you
A genuinely wonderful and considered piece of analysis. Thoughtful, attentive to detail and clear while managing to communciate such warmth and love thorughout. Fantastic, one I'll be revisitng on many a hard day.
I don’t know why this video was recommended to me by the Algorithm, or why I decided to click on it. What I do know is that this video was exactly the one I needed to watch today. Thank you!
This was brilliant and beautiful. One of my favorite video essays I’ve ever had the privilege of stumbling across. A thought provoking and honestly life changing look at one of my favorite movies of all time. Thank you.
Great video, from the analysis to the interpretation and complexity to the self reflection with the background music and the emotional hit of the videos at the end. A masterpiece.
A beautiful review. Thank you so much for opening yourself up to strangers and allowing us to share just a little in the love you have for your grandpa. I am so thankful I stumbled across this video. ❤️
This is such an amazing work of art thank you for sharing this with the world! I never got to meet my grandfather despite sharing his name. I often look up and say “i hope im wearing it well” I gather that he too was a content man, loving to sing and was well devoted to family. Thank you again for sharing
You're very blessed to have had such a wonderful grandfather. You made me cry! I love your choice of music for this essay, one of my favorite movies as well. Thank you.
This was an amazing video, thank you! I teared up when you started talking about your grandpa, and when you read “to make it to your graduation” I damn near sobbed. Loved your analysis a lot, it gave me insight on a couple elements I had not thought about myself-I kind of feel like rewatching Fantastic Mr. Fox now (I also feel like rewatching Balto, those movies will never leave my heart).
Sat in silence for a little while after watching this video, never have gotten that experience from a youtube video before. This was amazing, thank you
Amazing video essay on my favorite movie of all time. You managed to put into words things that I love about this movie that I haven't been able to really articulate fully
Incredible, thoughtful, and deeply relatable analysis of one of my favorite films as a child, having first seen it with my late grandmother in theaters when I was 10. Just rewatched it so I was craving for some more adult analysis of it, and this certainly did the trick. This video easily deserves 100-fold the views it has, but I suppose going with the theme of the video, 1.2k ain't so bad. Thanks for this.
touching, insightful, and an amazingly written thought piece about such an overlooked film! 🥺 thank you for creating this, i look forward to more of your insights!!
I'm thankful to have my grandparents through highschool and most of college. I can't help but get teary eyed for appreciating their impact on my life and mourning the loss of 2 of them in the last year. I also will be striving for the contentment that they found in life. Thank you for this video!
I was already enthralled by your essay, but wow, that ending with your grandpa tied everything together in a way seldom seen in most video essays on RUclips period. Honest, vulnerable and open while still tying together themes from what you were reviewing, wow, I’m speechless. Thank you so so much for sharing, you really are fantastic ❤️❤️❤️
Man. This is one of the best videos essays I’ve ever watched and that’s an understatement. Your take on this movie displayed not only exactly why I love this movie but also how I feel about life personally. Thank you for making this and I hope it gets more attention!! ❤ (Edit) The end with your grandpa was completely unexpected but so beautiful. You tied it into the video perfectly and he seemed like a great grandpa :3
I was just thinking, when you mentioned how Mr Fox conflated his career with his identity; that makes me think a lot about the idea of The Shadow and The Persona in Jungian psychology. Great video!
Wow, what a masterpiece of a RUclips video. Thanks for sharing your grandfather with us and an insightful analysis on one of my all time favorite movies. 👏👏👏
That was a great analysis of the film. Fantastic Mr Fox is one of my favorite films of all time! I lost my Grandfather recently. He would’ve loved this film as well. It’s a good reminder to have gratitude in our lives. Despite our sucky jobs we can find contentment in the family we have and the friends we make along the way.
This was truly phenomenal and totally deserves more views! I love these kinds of heart-felt analysis videos, and yours was so in depth but easy to digest, plus your voice is just very easy to listen to. Your grandfather sounds like an excellent fella. :)
This was one of the most awesome things I have ever seen, and it feels so specifically made for me. I love my grandpa, he gave me my love of music and stories. I love Buffy the Vampire Slayer, it was my mom's favorite show when I was young. The jazz throughout the whole video was so warm and comforting, and Wes Anderson is probably my second favorite director, or third, it's a toss up for him and Del Toro, but Hayao Miyazaki firmly holds the top for me :) I'm now rambling. Thanks for the awesome video.
I always felt like the themes in this movie were just barely grazing me as they flew overhead, and now I know because you’ve made them clear. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself, it is easily the strongest work I’ve seen in a while!
i’m at a loss for words, thank you. I’ve watched my fair share of video essays on this movie but you contextualized it in a way i’ve never felt pierce my soul so aggressively. You are amazing.
i may have cried. this is genuinely one of the best video essays i've ever seen. your story about your grandfather and how you weave it into the narrative of fantastic mr. fox is truly- well- fantastic.
I really appreciate this. Thank you so much for watching!
Came here to say this. Your whole story with your grandpa tied the whole video in with such grace and emotion, you really made something special.
Couldn’t agree more. Best analysis I’ve ever seen.
Fr this was a great video, jenny really did cook
Phew I didn’t know the end would hit me that way, I just almost cried 🥹 beautifully told!
Without a doubt my favorite video essay ever. One thing that was glossed over that I really like is Mr. Fox’s grocery store toast in the end. In contrast to his boastful toast before the feast in the burrows, he gathers off-brand synthetic foods and declares that although the food is all fake, it’s sufficient.

When I read "To make it to your highschool graduation" I violently and immidetiately burst into tears. It was such a great video
'He lives in the past first' - incredible insight from the dialogue, well done!
The analogy to your grandfather (RIP) is wonderful. Personally, contentment is something tangible for me, happiness is not. But being content makes it easier to be happy, which is awesome 💯
This was really awesome, RIP your grandfather.

I cried at your outro

Ok, let's test that, Mrs Buddha. I'm punching you in the face and you're trying to be happy.
Can't believe this amazing review is not famous yet. I reckon you have explained exactly what the movie wanted to transmit.
P. D: Your grandfather was a fantastic person😁
the fish looks to whale and asks
“do you know where I can find the ocean?”
the whale looks at him with an eye of disdain and says
“you're standing in it”
the fish says
“no this is water. what I'm looking for is the ocean”
Fantastic fox and soul have similar messages. Learn to live your life and be content.

5:57 In reality though, lone wolves are lonely and miserable and wolves can only truly thrive when they are in a pack.
I knew this was going to be wholesome (I love this movie) but nothing could've prepared me for this!! So beautiful, gentle and kind 💖 I'm so grateful for seeing this 💖
That was truly beautiful, meaningful and touching. So well written, thank you for putting this out into the world. Your message touched me in a moment of darkness
I can see this without a shadow of doubt. This was a beautiful movie breakdown of one of my favorite childhood movies. Much love. ❤️

Another amazing video! Well done 👏. Those who were fortunate enough to have such amazing grandparents in our lives are luckier than we will ever know.
What beauty and insight! Thank you, truly, for sharing this.
This was beautiful thank so much for this and this is still one of my favourite films of all time!

Love this video essay. Love the analysis. Love the music choice. Love the personal tibbit at the end. Love you.
This is wonderful. It really made me reflect. Thank you.
This was an amazing video, thank you! I teared up when you started talking about your grandpa, and when you read “to make it to your graduation” I damn near sobbed.

I'm a huge fan of video essays dissecting cinema on RUclips, but rarely does one make me cry. Thank you for such a beautiful video
Amazing video essay on my favorite movie of all time. You managed to put into words things that I love about this movie that I haven't been able to really articulate fully
Thanks for sharing your life experiences, it's a great gift!
Thank you. I needed this.
Absolutely touching and beautiful! Wonderful message that I felt I needed to hear. Thank you for making this! ❤🙏

My favourite movie ever. Thank you for sharing this with the world.
touching, insightful, and an amazingly written thought piece about such an overlooked film! 🥺 thank you for creating this, i look forward to more of your insights!!
Loved how it turned from a film essay to a tribute, thanks for sharing your story and making this beautiful video.
This was sooo good. I never see people talking about the incredible themes and arcs from fantastic mr fox but you did it really well!
this was such a wonderful video, loved it deeply, hope this can change my ways, much love to you and thank you for putting things into perspective
omg this is so beautiful, in so many ways. Thank you for making this
this is one of the best video essays i’ve ever seen, thank you for sharing it and your grandfather’s story with us
this video is a hidden gem. thank you for such a great video on one of my favorite movies
absolutely beautiful video essay. i really enjoyed the personal bit at the end
I'm thankful to have my grandparents through highschool and most of college. I can't help but get teary eyed for appreciating their impact on my life and mourning the loss of 2 of them in the last year. I also will be striving for the contentment that they found in life. Thank you for this video!
Thank you for this, it comes at a time when we all kind of get lost in shallow goals.
This is so beautiful! I cried at the ending of your video. Thanks a lot :’)
This is so beautiful. The way u say things just makes sense. I enjoyed every minute of this
I’ve watched countless video essays on this one movie, but this video truly touched my soul. Thankyou.
I teared up at the end. What an eye opening video
what a wonderful essay, it genuinely made me in tears thank you
I was already enthralled by your essay, but wow, that ending with your grandpa tied everything together in a way seldom seen in most video essays on RUclips period. Honest, vulnerable and open while still tying together themes from what you were reviewing, wow, I’m speechless. Thank you so so much for sharing, you really are fantastic ❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing this!
I was searching for videos about Fantastic Mr.Fox and randomly pick your video. Never Knew that I would find gold ✨
Truly a phenomenal video essay, thank you.
Man. This is one of the best videos essays I’ve ever watched and that’s an understatement. Your take on this movie displayed not only exactly why I love this movie but also how I feel about life personally. Thank you for making this and I hope it gets more attention!! ❤
(Edit)
The end with your grandpa was completely unexpected but so beautiful. You tied it into the video perfectly and he seemed like a great grandpa :3
Thank you, for making this. I wasn’t expecting being so touched by your experienced, you are a good writer.
I was just thinking, when you mentioned how Mr Fox conflated his career with his identity; that makes me think a lot about the idea of The Shadow and The Persona in Jungian psychology. Great video!
This is incredibly beautiful
How beautiful!
Thanks❤
This was a very good video, very entertaining and thought provoking, makes me want more of your content.
So beautiful this is.
Truly beautiful
Wow, what a masterpiece of a RUclips video. Thanks for sharing your grandfather with us and an insightful analysis on one of my all time favorite movies. 👏👏👏
Okay yes I teared up, beautifully done!!!
That was a great analysis of the film. Fantastic Mr Fox is one of my favorite films of all time! I lost my Grandfather recently. He would’ve loved this film as well. It’s a good reminder to have gratitude in our lives. Despite our sucky jobs we can find contentment in the family we have and the friends we make along the way.
Thank you for the much needed perspective check.
This was truly phenomenal and totally deserves more views! I love these kinds of heart-felt analysis videos, and yours was so in depth but easy to digest, plus your voice is just very easy to listen to.
Your grandfather sounds like an excellent fella. :)
I'm crying this is such an amazing video essay!! Rest in peace to your grandfather 🕊🕊
Thank you for this video, the way you described your grandpa and your relationship with him made me cry.
This was one of the most awesome things I have ever seen, and it feels so specifically made for me.
I love my grandpa, he gave me my love of music and stories. I love Buffy the Vampire Slayer, it was my mom's favorite show when I was young. The jazz throughout the whole video was so warm and comforting, and Wes Anderson is probably my second favorite director, or third, it's a toss up for him and Del Toro, but Hayao Miyazaki firmly holds the top for me :)
I'm now rambling. Thanks for the awesome video.
Jesus Christ those last two minutes hit me hard. Thanks for this.
How did you make me love this movie MORE?! Beautiful.
I always felt like the themes in this movie were just barely grazing me as they flew overhead, and now I know because you’ve made them clear. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself, it is easily the strongest work I’ve seen in a while!
i’m at a loss for words, thank you. I’ve watched my fair share of video essays on this movie but you contextualized it in a way i’ve never felt pierce my soul so aggressively. You are amazing.
