big BIG FAN of the designs for the sun and the moon. they're twins in the face, but the more you look at them, the more you see that the moon is simply a reflection of the sun. while the sun has bright red cheeks, the moon has smaller moles, when the sun dies, the moon goes with it, because the moon can only shine with the sun's light. oftentimes when ppl design the sun and the moon, they go towards making them as different as possible, and while this is the strategy taken for these designs, it's also not! they are perfectly androgynous children, the moon is more serene and understanding, invites the diplomat to hold their hand, makes the origami, the sun is energetic and spunky, confetti gets stuck in their hair, they give the diplomat the crown he gave to them. they are yin and yang, they're siblings (a rare interpretation for the sun and the moon, as ppl often depict them as lovers!), best friends, i'll go with you when you die. i'll hold your hand when you go, let me walk you there. it'll be okay, we'll go together. i also like the diplomat, who's styled more like a businessman than someone making peace deals! i like the lethality in which he carries himself, his absolute SHOCK when he's invited to play instead of talk, the way that his skin becomes more and more sunkissed and freckled as he understands, the way his hand trembles when he's holding the gun, the complete OPPOSITE of what he's meant to do, and his smile and pupil expansion when he sees the truth of stars. EXCELLENT SHORT!!!!! i'll be thinking about it for a while!!
@@AmathystDragons yes…i know. but the moon itself as a planetary body exists without reflecting light. are you dumb? even if the sun didn’t exist, the moon wouldn’t reflect its light sure and we wouldn’t be able to see it. but it would still exist. not you adding the laughing emoji like you were being smart smh…
"Too obsessed with negociating the affairs of the world, I forgot to contemplate it." It feels like humanity is speaking from one voice. This world is indeed beautiful and I feel lucky to have the sun and moon allowing me to see it with my eyes. Nature is the best gift life has ever offer. I instantly read "The Little Prince" back after looking at this short. I can feel the same spirit in this story. I absolutely love it. Thank you.
I watched this maybe 12 times and only just realized the significance of the shot at 6:24 where he sits. In the beginning, he met with them on a chair and they left him alone with it. Later, they took the knowledge of all humanity and turned it into a chair. They excitedly pulled him up the stairs to the chair before leaving him with it again. The chair symbolizes that contemplation and joy of simply experiencing life itself, and it's what they were trying to lead him to the entire time. When he has this revelation is when he finally takes that seat.
I can't even put into words the sheer amount of emotion I felt while I watched this!!! The message is so deep, and unique too, to enjoy something while it lasts. The character and environment designs are stunning, stylised forms and realistic textures isn't a look I see often. I like the pacing in this, too, the narration and sound design. Just great. Will definitely recommend to my friends! Thank you for creating this
Maybe you have to be an emotion-driven person to understand this. To me, being a very logic-driven person, it is unfortunately mere gibberish. You probably accept the setting given and roll with it. I can't help questioning the very setting itself, and arriving at the conclusion that it doesn't make sense.
@@feynthefallen It's art, you need to be looking at it through a more abstract lens than a purely logical one. In the pursuit to extend life, be it through fortune, good health, or youth, we often forget to experience that very same life. Death is inevitable for all of us, so it's important to experience and appreciate life while we can. This film is not so much telling a series of events as much as it is a metaphor.
@@feynthefallenya I didn’t like this lol. U can have a metaphor while also having a cohesive story. Imo that’s how you make a message resonate, by embedding it into plot
At 2:37 1) Le Jugement 2) Le Pape 3) L'Empereur 4) La Force 5) Le Monde It seems to follow the big points of the story, which is an insanely cool detail!
Man, that was amazing!!!! One cool thing I noticed: the way the sun and moon got closer and closer, sitting far apart, then close together, then with the moon holding the sun in their arms... then, the celestial bodies going into eclipse. Really fantastic animation.
That smile at the end, from Sun …. makes me wonder if being shot, then carried by Moon *caused* the eclipse. If humanity caused their own destruction. If the Sun knew it would happen .. from the start. Smile of recognition? Confirmation? Of being right? Or I am projecting too. Making the same mistake as the negotiator. Amazing.
Or people simply misinterpreted what they said. In a total eclipse it creates darkness and it shrouds humanity, making them "vanish" for the sun and moon, but humanity took it as they'd disappear forever so they freak out and shoot the sun
I love how in the final moments the sun gets extremely bright (just like how it will when it actually dies) and we see how the silhouette of the moon gets darker, making an eclipse. It’s sushi a beautiful ending.
there's so much to say about this masterpiece... but overall, the moral is just stunning. How the emissary in the beginning find this mission absurd, with all the seriousness and strictness of the human world, how the humanity seems dumb by offering only solutions that are applicables on other humans, and mostly how the humanity is stuck and continuousely seeking exit even in front of the inevitable. Here, humanity is at the same time self-centered and paranoid, when the sun and the moon just offered them recognition by telling them what will inevitably happen. And the way humans just tryes to get rid of the problem without even looking further into it, by fear and precipitament. Loved how it just let you know how to be in peace with things that you just can't change no matter what, because we are only humans, and nowhere near as omnipotent.✨
Humanity doesnt seem dumb to them, it seems beautiful, but no more beautiful than a grain of sand on a beach. You should notice that they read davincis notes then proceeded to make a paper chair, they then bring him to the throne to sit, eventually he sits with them on the beach. The first attempt worked, it got their interest, they replied by saying "sit with us and contemplate till the end, till we end"
Just watched this and loved the message : to enjoy it all while it lasts . We lose the time and moments of joy whilst trying to make these moments better and long lasting, the answer is, we can't. I love how there's a Subtle message that humans can think that everything is negotiable because they never saw beyond the walls of known universe or existence. They are ignorant to the fact that they hold no to little power over all the possibilities of them being wiped out with the smallest of inconvenience to the environment of human existence. Just like we lose majority of our life preparing for a better life ahead. Only to realize that the very next second can take everything away from us for which we've been preparing. We often feel like we're invincible but that's our ignorance.
I'm just speechless. I don't even know how to express how beautiful this animation was other than sit on the couch and cry. Thank you for this masterpiece.
To me,this is a beautiful animated work with stunning and delicate visuals, and a thought-provoking story. The sun and the moon have their own lifespans. As the sun's lifespan approaches its end, it chooses to spend its last moments on Earth. However, humans believe that the disasters happening on Earth are deliberately caused by the sun and the moon - a prank played by them. Humans dispatch negotiators to try every possible way to communicate with the sun and the moon, and even attempt to kill the sun, which provides light and heat for humans. It is not until the end that the moon reveals the truth, and the negotiator suddenly understands that the sun and the moon will eventually leave，and he accompany them through the sun's final moments. What surprises me the most is the sun's smile. Before watching the film, I prejudicially thought that the smile was derisive and sarcastic. However, after watching the film, I believe that the smile is just the sun's gentle and tolerant farewell to the world. By the way, we have uploaded many excellent animated works to our channel. We warmly welcome you to watch and discuss them with us! Looking forward to your subscriptions!!
Watch it again. The first attempt he gives them all our knowledge, and they read it all, and make him a chair. Second he gives them a throne, they take him to the chair to sit on. Third he tries violence, and they rip reality apart until finally he sits. As he sits he contemplates the wonder of everything from life to a simple grain of sand, to simple action of dew forming on a leaf. This is what the sun and moon were doing through the whole thing. They were wondering at the amazement of everything in their final hours. The sun smiled because he entered that wonderment and amazement with them. He ends by sitting and being in awe as everything ends.
Let this short film be a forever reminder that we as humans can create so much beauty, pain and love.. but its not forever, so enjoy every second while we can. Thank You for this masterpiece.
Ce que je trouve le plus affligeant c'est que l’académie des oscars préfèrera toujours un court métrage "drôle" à celui ci qui essaye de se démarquer comme celui ci qui fini deuxième !
Someone(s) on the team is definitely *writing*, alright The animation is superb! The lightning, the backgrounds, movements, so gorgeous… And the story, it definitely shows something about humanity. That, in its last defense, used violence, thinking it would solve all problems. But nature doesn’t care about the things humans offer; it just…do. Constantly flowing, unbound from any restrictions we put on each other. Also, that poor guy…having to go through all of that all alone…let’s hope he had peace after all this.
I have tried several times to write a comment to describe the full range of emotions I feel after watching this short film, but I do not know how to put my emotions into words... Because of everything that is happening in the world now, my heart bleeds every day and my soul suffers, I am in an endless quintessence of rage and sorrow, and this film just drew a line and made me experience in 8 minutes everything that I have experienced over the past year or so. This is an incredibly strong work and I believe that the team that worked on the creation of all this is incredibly talented and has a subtle feeling, and is also amazingly able to convey complex things through simple images. I'm absolutely thrilled and I'm still crying because it's beautiful and because it makes all the senses awaken and sharpen.
Je n'ai meme pas les mots pour décrire ce chef d'oeuvre. L'aspect "conte" avec l'excellente narration, les visuels époustouflants (COMMENT ON PEUT AVOIR UN LIGHTING AUSSI BEAU ????) Et l'histoire. J'ai aussi été énormément touché par le dernier cadeau (sans spoil pour ceux qui n'ont pas encore regarder) qui est si humain, et la façon dont les autres n'en avaient que faire des 2 précédents à cause de leur nature, réprésentée par des enfants. Excellent court film !
I don't know why but this short reminds me a great deal of Majora's Mask. The surreal and dreamy imagery, the emotional stakes of the living, and the existential dread of an impending end being experienced alongside a childish innocence. I've been wondering if I'd ever find anything like it again, and I feel like you truly captured a piece beautifully reminiscent to that experience. This film is a work of art, wonderful and grave, and leaving me with so much to contemplate. I can't express enough of my praises to you!
same, at first the art immediately reminded me of Termina and the moon, then i felt the pressure of the deadline again. I'm a bit anxious now knowing an important eclipse will occur in 2024 ^^
Wow! Unbelievable! This has such elegant symbolism and poetry in portraying the relationship between man and nature. The way he pulled a gun and the literal fabric of the universe collapsed was breathtaking and probably my favorite part. Trying to comprehend this Masterpiece is like negotiating with the sun and moon. "You cannot negotiate with the stars, but their light is beautiful."
This is too beautiful. The music is on point and the quality of the animation is fabulous. The moral is important and I love how in the end, negotiation wasn't possible with the sun and moon, for they had no say in it. Too often I see things that try to force the impossible simply because it gives them the desired outcome. Too rare do I see films like this that pull the comfortable ending out of your reach and replace it with a better one. It fits so perfectly. I feel that I'm not eloquent enough to word the idea that I'm trying to express, but my point is that this film is gorgeous. I'm grateful to the Creators.
À chaque fois que le reregarde j'ai des frissons mais aucun n'égal celui de la première fois et de cet étrange sentiment d'apaisement pu de de calme ou de vide (un émotion dur à décrire). YOU CAN'T NEGOCIATE WITH THE STARS, BUT THEIR LIGHT ARE beautiful ❤
I got CHILLS while watching this! This animation is spectacular, the textures, designs, the narration, all were beautiful! I love this concept for the story as well, so chilling and beautiful, so sad and so innocent, so cruel and so unfortunate, it's wonderful.
I feel so frustrated when coming onto a piece such as these ones, because I want to express how much love I have for it, but it seems like I can't ever transcribe my feelings into words The 3D models are amazing, just as much as the expressions. The moral as well, which we get to understand throughout the entirety of the short and not only the end, it makes me shiver. The lighting, camera movements, pacing, voices, idea, composition, everything coming from this is so amazing and I can see how much care and love went into every shot I love this, even as bittersweet as it is, I wish I could live in this short, I wish I could get to meet these stars
J'ai vu ce court métrage à ANIMA à Bruxelles en mars en j'en parle à mes amis depuis. Je suis super contente que maintenant je peux enfin leur montrer aussi!! J'adore ce film, c'est clairement un de mes préférés
This whole Short was absolutely breathtaking. Loved the design for the sun and moon and loved that they were depicted as Children and siblings! It’s amazing, I also love That as the Peace dealer went on to witness the sun and moon’s playful responses he eventually noticed that nothing could be changed and enjoyed the last moments!!
Cette histoire est juste sublime. Les musiques, les graphiques, les textes, je ne parle même pas des personnages et surtout du message. L'humanité est si bien résumé ! L'animation nous fait vivre les émotions des personnages comme si elles étaient notre. Vraiment, depuis le lendemain de sa mise en ligne, je pense l'avoir vu au moins 5 fois. La seule touche triste est de ne pas pouvoir avoir accès aux musiques en arrière plant, moi qui aimerais les écouter en boucle ! Enfin, un immense bravo à tous ceux impliqués dans le projet. Je pense que c'est mon animation petit format préférée tant elle est belle et vraie. Merci !
HUH. The shorts on this channel are usually super basic with lots of imperfections. This one is an insane visual and auditive masterpiece. Even the scenario is pretty cool which is extremely rare for a short animation. Congrats !
Mega-congrats to everyone who worked on this animation!! Y'all deserve all the kudos and all the applause for this! The style and rendering is absolutely gorgeous, the character and environment designs are excellent, and the story was well-thought out and fantastically executed. Bravo to all of you!!
Too obsessed with predicting what the film's message would be, I forgot to contemplate it. That's why I watched it 3 times. This film is a pearl. Fantastic.
Quand je regarde ça, je pense à mon propre film d'animation, qui ne manque que des animateurs (ironiquement, tout le reste est prêt) pour être terminé. Je me demande si un jour, je serai capable de me payer le travail de ce genre d'animateurs, c'est tellement beau... Je ne peux que regarder et espérer, pour le moment...
Je ne peux clairement pas expliquer l'intention derrière ca mais supposant que si, elle est indescriptible de bout en large. J'avais l'impression de découvrir et contempler comme il dit pendant des heures. Je me sentais également impliqué au désir de vouloir agir. Merci beaucoup de partager des merveilles comme ca. Je viens d'arriver sur votre boite et je ne m'attendais à rien mais donc croyez moi que j'ai eu tort dans tous les points. Merci encore on en veut plus de votre part!(Juste bluffé)
there are no words that I can use to possibly describe how incredible and stunning this piece of art is, from the character desgins, to the animation, to the narration, the story line, everything is just SO FRICKING STUNNING???
Aucun mot n'est assez fort pour dire à quel point ce court métrage est sublime ! 🤩 Les graphismes, l'histoire et les personnages font appel à une grande sensibilité de la part du spectateur face aux enjeux présentés qui s'apparentent à ceux qui nous concernent et nous menacent aujourd'hui (l'éclipse pour représenter le réchauffement climatique (ou du moins c'est comme ça que je l'ai interprété)). Tout cela en mettant en "diplomates" deux enfants candides qui se retrouvent brutalement face à un aspect du monde qu'ils n'avaient jamais connu : la violence, moyen majoritairement utilisé par l'Homme (adulte) en "solution finale" pour imposer sa volonté et orienter la finalité du débat dans ce qui l'arrange le mieux (ici stopper l'apocalypse qu'annonce cette eclipse). ⚠️ N.B : Ce n'est bien sûr qu'un avis amateur de ce que j'ai compris de ce court metrage et je suis ouverte à tout éclaircissement si je l'ai mal interprété ! 😊 D'ailleurs, en parlant des personnages, je dois bien avouer que le petit garçon représentant le soleil est celui qui m'a le plus intéressé. J'aime beaucoup son design, simple mais qui est vraiment très bien choisi pour représenter l'étoile qu'il incarne (des couleurs chaudes, des cheveux ébouriffés qui font allusion aux rayons du soleil, des joues rouges...). Encore bravo à l'équipe qui a réalisé cette merveille ! 😊
Omg I'm seriously awestruck rn. Its the most beautiful short film I've ever seen. The story, the composition of scenes, lighting, and the colors ❤. And the voice actor derserve a praise too. It mustve taken so much time to make this masterpieces .
I like the comparison of humanity to the sun and stars. We have shone so brightly for so long, and our first instinct will always be to preserve ourselves. But even the brightest stars eventually have to die out.
Eu não me senti assistindo um curta, eu me senti recebendo um presente. Eu amo toda forma de arte, porque constantemente a arte me arranca a força do meu cotidiano pra me fazer repensar diversos conceitos que, no correr insano do dia-a-dia, eu não tenho tempo pra refletir. Esse curta me fez parar pra pensar novamente na insignificância da nossa existência, e como nós somos arrogantes ao pensar que temos o universo na palma da nossa mão, quando na verdade somos um mísero milésimo de segundo na imensa história do nosso cosmos. Onde já se viu, negociar com os astros? Somente a humanidade teria tamanha arrogância a ponto de achar que teria sucesso. Não se pode cessar o brilho do sol, muito menos forçar a lua a brilhar quando queremos. Nós achamos que machucamos a terra, mas no fim de tudo só estamos dificultando nossa própria existência, e quando formos embora a terra continuará do jeito que ela sempre foi, assim como a lua, assim como o sol, assim como tudo. Até mesmo o mais persuasivo homem da nossa espécie não é nada pra imensidão do universo.
Quelle merveille 😮 Les lumières et couleurs sont sublimes, l’histoire touchante et les enfants sont deux petites poupées douces et puissantes à la fois 💜
I cannot describe how I was feeling when I watched such a beautiful and moving work! It's a real art, I think. Stars will also fade away just, like humans.
Wow! I’m speechless 😳. Thank you for making something beautiful and thought provoking instead of art house trash for the sake of showing you know how to animate.
any writer knows that properly conveyed concision is always harder than length.... someone tell me how in the HELL a team of people fit that much emotion, depth, world building, dynamic pacing, etc into an 8 MINUTE film. not even 15, the standard for shorts. HALF that. HOW i want to give every person involved a smooch
excuse my language but holy shit! i am so glad this got recommended to me on the homepage. i have so much deep appreciation for art that was made with passion and this clearly belongs in that category! it amazes me that this is all here on youtube, for free consumption; thank you so much, i can only imagine how much skill and hard work was poured into this project. what an amazing work

This film is a work of art, wonderful and grave, and leaving me with so much to contemplate. I can't express enough of my praises to you!
same, at first the art immediately reminded me of Termina and the moon, then i felt the pressure of the deadline again. I'm a bit anxious now knowing an important eclipse will occur in 2024 ^^
L'animation, le son, l'ambiance, le concept/histoire, tout est sublime. Très touchant !
"You can't negotiate with the stars..."How profound!
This was so beautiful! It doesn'y feel like 8 minutes at all. Extremely well written and visually stunning.
Wow! Unbelievable! This has such elegant symbolism and poetry in portraying the relationship between man and nature. The way he pulled a gun and the literal fabric of the universe collapsed was breathtaking and probably my favorite part. Trying to comprehend this Masterpiece is like negotiating with the sun and moon. "You cannot negotiate with the stars, but their light is beautiful."
absolutely stunning... i can't say i didn't shed a tear from just absolute awe at the story and design. art that can move someone is very rare.
THIS IS CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED WHAT
J’ai été particulièrement émue par ce film, d’une sensibilité et d’une justesse impressionnante… Bravo à toute l’équipe!
This is too beautiful. The music is on point and the quality of the animation is fabulous. The moral is important and I love how in the end, negotiation wasn't possible with the sun and moon, for they had no say in it. Too often I see things that try to force the impossible simply because it gives them the desired outcome. Too rare do I see films like this that pull the comfortable ending out of your reach and replace it with a better one. It fits so perfectly. I feel that I'm not eloquent enough to word the idea that I'm trying to express, but my point is that this film is gorgeous. I'm grateful to the Creators.
À chaque fois que le reregarde j'ai des frissons mais aucun n'égal celui de la première fois et de cet étrange sentiment d'apaisement pu de de calme ou de vide (un émotion dur à décrire).
YOU CAN'T NEGOCIATE WITH THE STARS, BUT THEIR LIGHT ARE beautiful ❤
Absolutely stunning work, I do not think I blinked one time, trying to grasp every frame, every second of it.
It's just beautifull
Beautiful. To me this short film tells me the message: Don't save humanity if you can't keep it
I saw this at the short shorts film festival in Tokyo this past summer. This was an amazing animation. I’m so glad to see it again!
I got CHILLS while watching this! This animation is spectacular, the textures, designs, the narration, all were beautiful!
I love this concept for the story as well, so chilling and beautiful, so sad and so innocent, so cruel and so unfortunate, it's wonderful.
This was amazing. Not sure how I found this so early, but I'm very glad I did
SUPERB storytelling, full stop. So intelligent and beautiful. Pure magic. Surpasses all work from Pixar and Laika studios.
This is......this is art. Unadulterated by a flashy cameo or appeal to popularity. Absolutely beautiful.
I love how the referenced the lotus as a symbol of the beginning of sun's and universes, it is believed creation begin from a lotus
I feel so frustrated when coming onto a piece such as these ones, because I want to express how much love I have for it, but it seems like I can't ever transcribe my feelings into words
The 3D models are amazing, just as much as the expressions. The moral as well, which we get to understand throughout the entirety of the short and not only the end, it makes me shiver. The lighting, camera movements, pacing, voices, idea, composition, everything coming from this is so amazing and I can see how much care and love went into every shot
I love this, even as bittersweet as it is, I wish I could live in this short, I wish I could get to meet these stars
J'ai vu ce court métrage à ANIMA à Bruxelles en mars en j'en parle à mes amis depuis. Je suis super contente que maintenant je peux enfin leur montrer aussi!! J'adore ce film, c'est clairement un de mes préférés
HOW IS THIS NOT TRENDING???
On my third watch. Each time is more amazing than the last. This short film has impacted me in ways I’ve yet to understand.
gorgeous style and story telling. I love that it almost looks like stop animation. The character designs are so beautiful
On rentre dans l'univers en deux secondes. C'est d'une beauté. Félicitations !
We'll never see something this good in the oscars...
Merci infiniment pour ces images et ces mots. Quel magnifique travail.La beauté des astres.
Un chef d'oeuvre ce court-métrage, tout est parfait
This whole Short was absolutely breathtaking. Loved the design for the sun and moon and loved that they were depicted as Children and siblings! It’s amazing, I also love That as the Peace dealer went on to witness the sun and moon’s playful responses he eventually noticed that nothing could be changed and enjoyed the last moments!!
Cette histoire est juste sublime. Les musiques, les graphiques, les textes, je ne parle même pas des personnages et surtout du message. L'humanité est si bien résumé ! L'animation nous fait vivre les émotions des personnages comme si elles étaient notre. Vraiment, depuis le lendemain de sa mise en ligne, je pense l'avoir vu au moins 5 fois. La seule touche triste est de ne pas pouvoir avoir accès aux musiques en arrière plant, moi qui aimerais les écouter en boucle ! Enfin, un immense bravo à tous ceux impliqués dans le projet. Je pense que c'est mon animation petit format préférée tant elle est belle et vraie. Merci !
HUH. The shorts on this channel are usually super basic with lots of imperfections. This one is an insane visual and auditive masterpiece. Even the scenario is pretty cool which is extremely rare for a short animation. Congrats !
I´m totally crying, Weeping inside. Thank you !
Certainement l’un des meilleurs court d’étudiants qu’il m’est était donné de voir. Merci.
Deep and beautiful. Some things are worth fighting for, but we can't devour the nature. Neither should we try to attack it as our enemy.
Mega-congrats to everyone who worked on this animation!! Y'all deserve all the kudos and all the applause for this! The style and rendering is absolutely gorgeous, the character and environment designs are excellent, and the story was well-thought out and fantastically executed. Bravo to all of you!!
This is absolutely beautiful, a real piece of art. It's a shame it's so underappreciated.
Too obsessed with predicting what the film's message would be, I forgot to contemplate it. That's why I watched it 3 times. This film is a pearl. Fantastic.
Quand je regarde ça, je pense à mon propre film d'animation, qui ne manque que des animateurs (ironiquement, tout le reste est prêt) pour être terminé. Je me demande si un jour, je serai capable de me payer le travail de ce genre d'animateurs, c'est tellement beau... Je ne peux que regarder et espérer, pour le moment...
Super production, merci les gens ! Bon courage à vous !
c'etait la chose la plus magnifique que ce soit au niveau signification, D.A scenario composition franchement un grand bravo a eux ❤❤❤❤
Incroyable. Magnifique. J'ai pas les mots
The light of this video is beautiful.
Sun and the moon as twins thats just amazing and THEYRE SO CUTE TOGETHERRRR
That was INCREDIBLE, such a moving message and the animation and the voice everything was on top !! I absolutely loved it
j’ai pas les mots, je veux dire encore!!! bravo, merci, merci, bravo, que ce soit l’animation, la portée des valeurs, juste bravo et merci
J'ai rarement été aussi bluffé par un film de fin d'études. Quelle ambition, et quels visuels dingues !
Je ne peux clairement pas expliquer l'intention derrière ca mais supposant que si, elle est indescriptible de bout en large. J'avais l'impression de découvrir et contempler comme il dit pendant des heures. Je me sentais également impliqué au désir de vouloir agir. Merci beaucoup de partager des merveilles comme ca. Je viens d'arriver sur votre boite et je ne m'attendais à rien mais donc croyez moi que j'ai eu tort dans tous les points. Merci encore on en veut plus de votre part!(Juste bluffé)
One of the best animation i have seen, truly beautiful!!
"you can't negotiate with the stars but their light is beautiful" is some Shakespeare level quotesmanship Imma be using that
there are no words that I can use to possibly describe how incredible and stunning this piece of art is, from the character desgins, to the animation, to the narration, the story line, everything is just SO FRICKING STUNNING???
Wow this was incredible! I love the choice of the Sun and Moon being represented as children who are completely innocent
I don't understand why this video has only 330k views, it is beautifully animated, if it is shared more i'm sure it will get to milions
An absolute masterpiece. Everything about this is incredible!
Aucun mot n'est assez fort pour dire à quel point ce court métrage est sublime ! 🤩
Les graphismes, l'histoire et les personnages font appel à une grande sensibilité de la part du spectateur face aux enjeux présentés qui s'apparentent à ceux qui nous concernent et nous menacent aujourd'hui (l'éclipse pour représenter le réchauffement climatique (ou du moins c'est comme ça que je l'ai interprété)). Tout cela en mettant en "diplomates" deux enfants candides qui se retrouvent brutalement face à un aspect du monde qu'ils n'avaient jamais connu : la violence, moyen majoritairement utilisé par l'Homme (adulte) en "solution finale" pour imposer sa volonté et orienter la finalité du débat dans ce qui l'arrange le mieux (ici stopper l'apocalypse qu'annonce cette eclipse).
⚠️ N.B : Ce n'est bien sûr qu'un avis amateur de ce que j'ai compris de ce court metrage et je suis ouverte à tout éclaircissement si je l'ai mal interprété ! 😊
D'ailleurs, en parlant des personnages, je dois bien avouer que le petit garçon représentant le soleil est celui qui m'a le plus intéressé. J'aime beaucoup son design, simple mais qui est vraiment très bien choisi pour représenter l'étoile qu'il incarne (des couleurs chaudes, des cheveux ébouriffés qui font allusion aux rayons du soleil, des joues rouges...).
Encore bravo à l'équipe qui a réalisé cette merveille ! 😊
juste incroyable et époustouflant dans ces moindres details
Remarquable réalisation. Équilibrée sous tous rapports, fond, intelligence , esthétique, qualité de réalisation, inventivité,..
Omg I'm seriously awestruck rn. Its the most beautiful short film I've ever seen. The story, the composition of scenes, lighting, and the colors ❤. And the voice actor derserve a praise too. It mustve taken so much time to make this masterpieces .
This is one of the most beautiful short films there are… merci beaucoup everyone involved in making this masterpiece!
this deserves millions of views
I like the comparison of humanity to the sun and stars. We have shone so brightly for so long, and our first instinct will always be to preserve ourselves. But even the brightest stars eventually have to die out.
i love the design of the sun and moon, they look like siblings and it’s really cute lol
"you can't negotiate with the stars, but their light is beautiful."
Are you kidding me! Why doesn’t this have millions of views yet!
Brilliant and Beautiful, Heart-wrenching🙀💔🤔💯‼️
Eu não me senti assistindo um curta, eu me senti recebendo um presente. Eu amo toda forma de arte, porque constantemente a arte me arranca a força do meu cotidiano pra me fazer repensar diversos conceitos que, no correr insano do dia-a-dia, eu não tenho tempo pra refletir.
Esse curta me fez parar pra pensar novamente na insignificância da nossa existência, e como nós somos arrogantes ao pensar que temos o universo na palma da nossa mão, quando na verdade somos um mísero milésimo de segundo na imensa história do nosso cosmos. Onde já se viu, negociar com os astros? Somente a humanidade teria tamanha arrogância a ponto de achar que teria sucesso. Não se pode cessar o brilho do sol, muito menos forçar a lua a brilhar quando queremos. Nós achamos que machucamos a terra, mas no fim de tudo só estamos dificultando nossa própria existência, e quando formos embora a terra continuará do jeito que ela sempre foi, assim como a lua, assim como o sol, assim como tudo. Até mesmo o mais persuasivo homem da nossa espécie não é nada pra imensidão do universo.
Quelle merveille 😮 Les lumières et couleurs sont sublimes, l’histoire touchante et les enfants sont deux petites poupées douces et puissantes à la fois 💜
Phenomenal! The message itself is quite striking combined with the visuals and audio. This is such a masterpiece ❤
This is the bittersweet goodness , visually , animated and everything else overall!!!!
Art like this elevated to another level. I highly appreciate this
I cannot describe how I was feeling when I watched such a beautiful and moving work! It's a real art, I think. Stars will also fade away just, like humans.
mankind shuold be left in darkness. I can't believe starchildren being as kind.
Wow! I’m speechless 😳. Thank you for making something beautiful and thought provoking instead of art house trash for the sake of showing you know how to animate.
Magnifique film à la fois poétique, triste tout en étant extrêmement touchant ! Bravo à vous !
any writer knows that properly conveyed concision is always harder than length.... someone tell me how in the HELL a team of people fit that much emotion, depth, world building, dynamic pacing, etc into an 8 MINUTE film. not even 15, the standard for shorts. HALF that. HOW
i want to give every person involved a smooch
Praise the sun! ☀️
excuse my language but holy shit! i am so glad this got recommended to me on the homepage. i have so much deep appreciation for art that was made with passion and this clearly belongs in that category! it amazes me that this is all here on youtube, for free consumption; thank you so much, i can only imagine how much skill and hard work was poured into this project. what an amazing work
This is the most beautiful short film I've ever seen
c'est tout simplement incroyable, merci pour le moment bravo !
I hope the soundtrack will be available on Spotify. I'm so obsessed.
Sorry; it's not happening, we didnt' think about it :(
C’est incroyable grand bravo à toute l’équipe pour ce travaille
