everyone is talking about the cupcake and squash getting it on, but can we stop and appreciate how amazing the animation and story line was?
Artsy Ferret I don't get it
It's trying to tell you to eat a balanced diet.
Its so good that the squash help the cupcake go back home. The squash is great.
+Max ANDREWS wow perfect way to explain and state your opinion i can't agree more
Yeah.
BUTT it brings a new look in life. If a cupcake and a squash can do "stuff" then why can't cookies and donuts?
did I just watch.. a cupcake.. having.. sex with.... a squash?
+Lara Banana Yes, yes you did
+Little Corvidae my god.... {: O
+Lara Banana I know, that was an unexpecting scene
I mean having
Who's watching this in 2016
Awesome! Shows how cultures benefit from one another ideally.
And how one act of kindness can have a big impact.
yess!!! that's exactly how I looked at it! I'm definitely sending this to my anthropology professor
W U T
CUPCAKE WHY DIDN'T YOU STAY WITH YOUR SQUASH BRUH???
If it makes you feel better, there were all kinds of vegetables incorporated into the candy city that the cupcake hadn’t brought with him on the first trip, so that means that at some point he must’ve gone back and reunited with the squash
This is awesome.
So awesome
@Riley Kuczkowski YO I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS FOR SO FRICKING LONG YOU DONT EVEN KNOW (PROB LIKE 6 YEARS) Edit: nah i Think i was looking for even longer
:D
@Riley Kuczkowski you alive?
@@deez222 you alive?
This has so many meanings. It could be as simply as that the "real" foods are better for us or as complex and profound as that the earth will reach its point when it can no longer support us humans. This animation showed going back to our...ROOTS will save our asses.
This was a very profound summary. Thanks for writing!
That, and building a concrete forest (city) as opposed to nature and country
damn thats deep
Miguel Carreon huh. I thought it was about the mixing of cultures and how societies take on elements from others to help them function better
I don't know what disturbs me more, the fact that I just watched a cupcake and a squash have sex, or that I thought it was really romantic
Both
I love you, marry me xD
Queen Esther ikr I can decide if this stop motion film was beautiful or just plain what the actual fuck LOL
Morning Liz video when she knew how babies are made of that you can share this to the whole entire class but then you're going to get expelled because you're saying something that's age-restricted and then everybody's going to watch it
It was really romantic, just a little strange. It was a truly great story.
And the sweet potato was born
NO.
YES
Noooo!!
That’s a squash but ok
it's a fucking squash
Wouldn't the carrots be people 2?!
0__o
So would coconut, lollipops, and eggplant
no
mass genocide for a building
The vegetables were plants
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIND THIS VIDEO AGAIN FOR 4 YEARS I'M SO HAPp Y
is that w d gaster
LITERALLY SAME I WAS LIKE YES
OMG IKR SAMEE
OMG YES ME ASWELL
omg same!!
I seriously wanted the cupcake and Squash to last forever
food porn to the extreme man!
Your user name just makes the comment even better
Ye
Maybe this is why we have things such as sweet potatoes.
MrStickman1997 XDDDDD
MrStickman1997 OMG XDDDDDDDDDD
This is one of the best stop- motion films I have ever seen!
yaffa yep!
Is it becuase the food porb
Did the cupcake not realize he had no pants on for the rest of the video? 😂

louro josé jose
Kebra Kaza I was thinking the same
Don't think of the wrapper as pants, think of them as a barrier to other views.
Kebra Kaza ikr
This was made when I was 6 years old, I’m almost 22 now but this really takes me back to a time on the internet I remember fondly, the stuff I watched when I was growing up. Thanks for making cool stuff.
I bet cleanup was delicious.
As a fellow stop motion animator, this is my favourite animation of all time. It speaks to me on a level that nothing else does. I appreciate the time, effort and love that went into this enchanting piece of art.
Kirsten is such a genious! This is one of the best things i've ever seen on YT
The meaning behind this is gorgeous. I love it.
What does it mean to you?
eat healthy kids, so you become strong is one for sure
@@chriscory2049 Food are your friends. Except carrots, they're building material.
Sm I the only one who use to watch this all the time as a child?! Literally have have trying to re find this video for years now.
Try watching it all the time as an adult!
At 6:30
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. Wait. I wasn't ready for that. Like whoa.
I HAVE SEEN YOU BEFORE
Darkstar 暗スター I'VE SEEN YOU TOO! HUGS!
Phucking Phantabulous YAY! *attacks you and hugs*
Darkstar 暗スター *squeals and ambushes you in hugs*
Darkstar 暗スター Cupcakes will never be the same after seeing what REALLY happens when you leave the kitchen.
your film is really amazing . The cupcake's girlfriend will feel really lonely. :' (
What if it’s a boyfriend
How do you know the cupcake is male or if the squash is female?
@@LM-db6ty V O M I T
@@SanguiniCore so either homophobia or sexism? what's funny is on another comment "Awesome! Shows how cultures benefit from one another ideally." you replied with "WUT" implying that you don't understand the original comment. At some point you have to learn so self awareness
Never thought id have the privilege of seeing a cupcake and a squash getting it on
What a beautiful film! Love, caring, community, my heart melted along with the sugar cubes. . .
nearly every comment is about the sex scene. y'all are so easily phased. this was such a cute story but also had a powerful message. the animation was super original too. the best bit was when the vegetables were getting him to shave his "hair" off lol.
Ikr
ThEY F R I C K E D
So what do you think the message was? I'm trying to figure it out. Like, are vegetable cities inherently better than sugar cities? Why did the desserts get rid of their own culture?
Hardly ANYONE talks about that scene... Chill out..

O///3///O 🧁 delicious...
Every few years I come back to this. Nostalgia is a powerful beast. The quality of the stop motion always gets me :)
It’s been 16 years since I stumbled upon this and it came back to me over the course of two dreams in the past week and now I’m back lol can’t believe it remembered what it was called
IM THIS CHANGED THE WAY I SEE FOOD
AND VEGETABLES
+Amęthyst (Tasty Fandom Fillet ツ) ..... Vegetables are food
+Amęthyst (Tasty Fandom Fillet ツ) are you stupid vegetables are food
+ethanhey it was a joke because vegetables shouldn't be considered food
+spontaniouswhale it was a joke because vegetables shouldn't be considered food
Amazing there Is no words to describe your stop motion art
Nobody:
Directors mom: * kirsten stop playing with your food*
It was at about 6:30 when I questioned what I was watching, but the quality of this animation still holds up.
Still a better love story than Twilight
This is so beautiful! I love how the carrots look like lincoln logs. I will admit that I had a good laugh when the cupcake and the squash spent a night of lovemaking. This is wonderful.
OMFG when the cupcake shaved its hair 😭😭😭😭 this is incredible
Years later and I still love this.
hahahaha cupcake dropped his pants and my little lady blushed.
You may as well have been caked.
Salty Squid ha get that joke though...
better story than twilight!
So true
Nuntikan m YES.
WUT true but WUT •-•
Thats really getting old.... Get over it already!!
+Audrey Popo Please stop using the word "already", it's really, really old.
it's amazing how the cupcake icing is still so perfect
He took off his wrapper!
sweet dreams are made of this.
Who am I to disagree
Totally LOVE the animation style!
Its awesome!
What did I just watch im so confused
Art.
magicalmax1000 But I dont get it
The cupcake wants go explore the world on a boat 0:20, rather than being trapped in a boring city where all he seems to do is work 0:45.
His thoughts quickly turn to sailing/exploring when he's at work, showing that he is bored and doesn't want to be there 1:00
He then realises that he can build a boat out of the sugar cubes, and explore, so that's just what he does 1:07.
After sailing overnight, his ship crashes on a tropical island, where he has turn the ruins of his boat into a shelter 3:25.
He meets new friends, and discovers that they live differently to his other friends (at cupcake island) 4:35. He realises that their way of living is better than his old way (shown by the carrot and sugar cube buildings, which represent strong and weak ways of living) and this is the first time you see him enjoying himself, unlike on cupcake island 5:18.
He eventually becomes homesick, so asks his friends to help him get back to cupcake island 5:38.
He arrives safely back at cupcake island (because of the stronger boat) and goes to meet his friends 7:48.
The people on cupcake island are disgusted with him being naked (representing his new, healthy way of life) 7:59.
Later, there is a flash flood 8:22, so the cupcake makes a strong building out of carrots, to help his friends (showing that the unhealthy lifestyle didn't last very long) 8:47.
His friends realise how they can improve their lifestyles and start living healthily 9:13.
But that's just my opinion :P
magicalmax1000 So is the main theme about exploring the world or eating healthy lol
Katie Wingert Yes! :P
is there gonna be a squash cupcake baby...?
You don't know the gender of those foods
Pootboot they never assumed the gender of the foods...
@@v7ran
Who creates babies?
If that is a squash then that mean that is a pretty big cupcake
I can’t imagine how relaxing that late night boat ride would have been..
somehow I ended up taking a trip down memory lane. 8 year old me really thought that the cupcake and the squash were just tossing and turning in their sleep... boi was I wrong.
Same
the message is to cut down the sugar and be healthy😂😂😂
Judith Jawa true.
The effort it took to make it all- impressive!!!
This just shows how all types of people are the same. Black, white, Asian, doesnt matter. What matters is that we all work together, because we are all the same underneath
...I came.
twice
if you think this video is sweet give it a thumbs up 👍
One of my all-time favorite short films.
Absolutely Amazing!!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
6:30 HEY LOOK ITS THE PREQUEL TO SAUSAGE PARTY!!!
Ugly Barnacle 58 lol
Ugly Barnacle 58 so true!
huh?! i don't get it. they are having sex i guess.
Ugly Barnacle 58 wtf
MiniMedley s
The sex part (I'm guessing that's what it was suppose to be) was weird, but the video was still amazing
Great work! Live this short film.❤️❤️❤️❤️
Best clay mash-ion I've ever seen before.👏👏👏👏👏👍👍
Nice work here! I like the different angles and perspectives, and the use of ingredients for the objects. It reminds of my first stop-motion animation I did back in high school around '02.
I look forward to seeing your Adventure Time episode!
I wonder what a cupcake and a squash would make XD
a cupsquash
Butternut squash cupcakes :P

IT WOULD MAKE A SWEET POTATO :D
A squash cake

Wow this was enchanting. Excellent work!
These are just beautiful. Color me *floored* this Monday afternoon.
Oh my god, I have been looking for this since forever! The memories are so great.
Replying to this so you'll hopefully get a notification and check out the video again
@@CrocaHead once i got the notification i was so confused, and i was actually looking for the video again (I’m so stupid i didn’t ever save it). So I’m glad you did this :’). Sending much love to you ❤️❤️
Thanks, that's great!
8:29 "Wheeeeee!"
This was awesome! I wish it was longer!
This must be the SWEETEST animation ever!
Hi stranger
Oh my gosh! I think I remember this from so long ago!
Absolutely breath taking!
I LOVE the sound design!
The animation is amazing, the story line is great, but oh my gosh, how did you sync those sounds so well? How did you make each of them?
This was all like aww and then the sex scene I'm laughing so much the way we was feeling her little butternut squash curves and she took off his little cupcake wrapper I'm dead
That was beautiful. Thank you
Your videos bring me joy. Thank you.
Wait wait wait wait, is losing it's wrapper kind of like losing your virginity in cupcake way?
XD
Apparently, so..? XD
BasicallyNatalia the CupCake’s nakey-
So when we remove the wrapper from a cupcake we basically have sex with it
water was cool
This short deserve more views. It's just brilliant !
I feel exactly like that cupcake. God, I'm looking forward to my holidays!

I don't know what to say... It's cute but maybe now is not the time to watch it for me... Cuz all those desserts... It's dinner time here at my place! I want dessert now!
Beauty work, your mind is gold!!!
