First time another animation has given me the same feeling that ghibli does, and it still keeps it really unique and genuine

[@chriscooper654]

A convincingly complete world, crafted into an amazingly short span of time. And I can sympathize with Caz' motives all too well. Thank you.

I can't put into words how beautiful these 7 minutes were. You created a lovely atmosphere, the colors, the lighting, everything wonderfully placed. The voices and music were just the icing on the cake.
Congratulations!🎉❤

[@jingqizhang7779]

:))) Thanks for watching!

[@PikaPetey]

such a cool message of wanting the good times to never leave, the fear of growing apart. I totally can relate.

[@sayo_5494]

I cant believe a 7 minute movie could make my eyes water like someones cutting onion. i love how u guys characterized their lil personas and their voice-actors did a wonderful job! whole story reminded me of someone. the violin in the background its just

[@loanicastillo3327]

I did not truly understand the story but it was nicely exequted and I loved to see the bear with the ducks flying up to the sky. The Little boy flying, the lights, the clock, the WHITE DUCKS... The scenes in nature and the Dreams... Oh I love it. When I was back Home from college I felt my parents were unknown to me. Like we lived in totally different dimensions.
