This may genuinely be the most underrated movie out there. I have yet to meet another soul who's heard of this masterpiece, excluding my Dad, who introduced it to me.
I grew up with this movie and it has such good graphics and soundtracks. Especially if you consider the year it was released (2008). I remember how I used to get chills at this scene and almost cried. It's a shame how underrated this movie is. It deserved much more attention.
I watched this movie here in Brazil when it was released in the cinema. It was one of the best movies I've ever seen And how I love it and how it shows that even bad people can be heroes
I watched this movie like a billion times as a kid, and just watched it for the first time in probably almost 10 years. Super nostalgic, and this part used to be, and still is my favorite in the whole movie.
@@ItsKeysama Yeah it was something else seeing it after so long. Definitely a better movie than I remembered it as. (Not that I thought it was bad I just didnt think it was as good as it actually is)
This movie is brilliant. The amount of story that’s told without even being said aloud is amazing. The visuals are gorgeous, this movie has a special place in my heart.
That shot of the lightning dancing up the tower blowing out windows is one of those images which just gets locked in your brain. It's so astoundingly beautiful and perfectly animated. And the music just completes it.
This movie and it’s soundtrack scares me for some reason, the same way as it did when I was 10 and it still does when I am 23. There is just something deeply wrong about the idea of the whole world disappearing, not just changing in the way you may not like it like it happens in our universe, but literally falling apart… and disappearing into nothingness
In my opinion, this movie is kind of absurdist. Take my ideas with a grain of salt, as I don't know anything about this world outside of the movie, so details may be wrong or misguided. This movie takes place in a world that's dying, literally coming to an end. The places we see, the castle, the empty roads, and pure sky, there's almost nothing left. The world is full of dangerous monsters that prey on townsfolk, and bitter, solitary old men reminisce about the days before everything went wrong. The heroes and knights are dead, the world is missing, and the end of the world is literally onky days away. It's no coincidence the location the protags are going to is called "The End of the World." Literally, the world they are in is ending, and all we see is the end. We're not given more information than we need, or even as much information as we need, because it doesn't matter. Who used to live here, in this city at the end of the world? What happened to the ghost town, with all the doors closed and in pristine condition? Why is everything floating? These questions are left unanswered and unasked by the character's in the movie because they *do not matter.* Nothing matters in the world of this movie, and this is something that each of the characters grapple and come to terms with throughout its runtime. From the outset, it's shown to be a cruel and careless setting, where orphans and outcasts are beat up and picked on, childhood homes get decimated, people get eaten and attacked regularly, and for no purpose. A unifying theme amongst the characters is that each is anchorless, adrift in this world much like the rubble and islands around them-I'm sure this is purposeful symbolism. All 3 protagonists are orphans. Zoe lives in an old castle with her uncle, who cares little for her, and his steward, who cares less. Lian Chu's village was obliterated 20 years ago, leaving him as the sole survivor. I don't know what the other character's situation is, but he also has no home and no family, born into a land that doesn't care about him at all. Each character has a separate outlook on this truth-that the world is cruel and uncaring, and that everything is about to end. Zoe, the young girl, chooses escapism. She doesn't pay attention the hardships of her kingdom, and doesn't dwell on the deaths of her parents or any of the portents of doom that emerge. We are introduced to her mid fantasy-battle, retelling the same fairy tale over and over, constantly escaping to a simple world where strength and determination are enough to save everyone from the monsters and entropy that surround her. Lian Chu dwells in his own thoughts, he is somber and soft spoken. Lian Chu is empathetic, looking for and seeing only the best in people. He feels sorry for Zoe, immediately seeing her as someone else who is adrift. He stuck up for the small, skinny kid who would later become his only friend, because he knew what it felt to have the world kick you while you're down. He just wants a farm, to raise sheep and cattle, and bring something into the world that has long been empty since the death of his village. The skinny guy (forget the name) chooses nihilism. He was born poor and small and had it rough from the jump. No family, picked on at the orphanage, he saw morality as something to be afforded by people stronger or more powerful than him. He became clever, and then cynical. As he grows, he cheats people and gets cheated in return-and when that happens, he turns that blame inwards. He doesn't blame the townsfolk when they cheat him, if he was in their position he would do the same thing. It's a dog eat dog world, and the only thing that matters is looking out for #1. I think the adventure that they go on-1 willing, 1 ambivalent, 1 unwilling-is a great metaphor for a search for meaning, and chips away at all 3's perspectives on the world around them. As they travel, they encounter wonder, mystery, danger, but more than any of that, they experience loneliness and permanence. Multiple times, we look back on the path the adventurers have just traveled, only to find that it has literally crumbled away. The past is behind us, literally and figuratively, and there's no way to return. Apart from one dead man and one mad one, the 3 adventurers are totally alone in terms of friendly company for the rest of their journey. The movie often emphasizes this, with wide open shots of a beautiful but desolate world, completely alien to anything we know. The characters trudge through these backdrops with no reaction, these vistas have no affect on them. At first, each falls further into their ideologies when confronted by this haunting, solitary adventure. Zoe rambles on and on about how dashing Lian Chu is, how much he's like silver knight gothic, desperately wishing for her fairy tale world to come true. Lian Chu becomes even more solemn and quiet, only speaking when he's directly addressed, and absolutely refusing to let her, or any passing sheep, come to harm. The small one becomes more cynical and more nihilistic, he constantly feels no desire to seek out truths that lie at the end of the world. He has no honor, no dignity, no empathy. He has no respect for custom or the sanctity of life, and why should he? Not much life remains that isn't hostile or simply evil. His tethers to meaning-and sanity-lie only with his one friend now. At the end of the 2nd act, these competing ideologies come to a head, and all 3 are confronted with reality. Lian Chu knows he is doomed, and reminisces on the fact that they will probably lose. Zoe realizes that these 2 people are not knights, but liars, and this gallant adventure is much more likely to kill her than become an epic tale. The small one realizes that his greedy and selfish behavior has now left him truly, utterly alone. Now, he has nothing, and starts slipping into madness the moment he realizes it. As the characters reach the end of the world, this is how they stand. Each alone, each helpless, in a land the king described as "a barren wasteland, with no life and no hope." The city that used to be here must have been mighty and proud once, for it has the most intricate and beautiful architecture seen to date, but the building are tattered and broken, buried in 10s to 100s of feet in ash. It reminds me very much of the ringed city from dark souls. The team bands together, and fights the World Gobbler, literally the death spectre of the world, a massive, mysterious bone dragon that inhales everything it sees. However, at the end of the world, with no hope in sight, all 3 choose to believe in each other and themselves, and all 3 march on in the face of impossible odds and no real chance. As the story ends, each character has found real value in the world around them, even before they stop the calamity that is going to end it. In fact, it is this very belief that does end that world, and rebirth it to a refreshed and vibrant paradise. They lost their families but found community, even as the planet literally falls apart around them. I think that this movie shows 3 different approaches to the nihilism and isolation problem-avoidance, isolation, and selfishness- and shows the flaws in each. By the end of the movie, they are not celebrated heroes or extremely wealthy, but they are happy-something none of them were before.
@@worm_intelligence_agencymy friend I know I’m very late but damn man you made this movie and this scene come to life! The details, and definition of how you explained the world and the way these characters see themselves in this said world was beautifully perspective! it was something I very much enjoyed reading and really helped me open my eyes to the very story that is told here and created here. Because of you explaining this, I feel much more drawn to this movie and its understandment of its writing! It does completely sadden me although to know the story, the characters and perfect writing isn’t noticed in the movie industry or is wildly known. I truly believe if people had the same understanding as you this movie would litterally be up there with puss in boots, Star Wars, shrek and lots of other blockbusters!
ever since i saw this movie years ago i could not get this soundtrack out of my head. i finally decided to look for it. idk why this movie is so unkown its so beautiful and eerily pleasing. im so glad my dad introduced me to this movie.
Holy shit i thought this was a fever dream I remember watching this movie as a kid thinking it was how to train your dragon (this was right when they came out) and oh my fuck if they waited a few years to release this so howto train your dragon didnt steal its thunder it wouldve been remembered throughout the decades
Un día cualquiera cuando era adolescente, tenia el canal de cartoon network en la tele para mantener ocupado a mi hermanito, una canción muy peculiar que emanaba de la tele llamó mi atención. Era esta obra de arte tanto visual como auditiva, de inmediato me quede pegado viendo la escena, se me puso la piel de gallina y cuando la escena de los rayos destruyendo el edificio apareció, quizás no lo sabia en ese momento pero estaba en el punto mas alto de un un frenesí psicológico. Desde entonces es una canción que escucho frecuentemente, la ocupo principalmente para, dormir o relajarme e imaginar que estoy en ese ambiente de edificios colapsados flotando en el cielo de un atardecer caótico pero con calma... Simplemente maravilloso.

It is only when they find meaning in each other and in this life that the world returns from its dull grays and shattered architecture into verdant fields. Just as they heal the land, they've healed themselves. I think that this movie shows 3 different approaches to the nihilism and isolation problem-avoidance, isolation, and selfishness- and shows the flaws in each. By the end of the movie, they are not celebrated heroes or extremely wealthy, but they are happy-something none of them were before. I wish I had the ability to craft a story like this, but I wouldn't even know where to start. I'll have to content myself with appreciating them.
great comment, and I generally agree with this view. As far as I'm aware, the film is a prequel to the animated TV series of the same name, still need to watch that one.
It took me and my brother talking about Random dumb stuff to remember this movie. After remembering we looked up this scene and we’re completely blown away!how could we forget such an amazing scene!. The music! The characters! And oh my god the Animation is more then enough to give Pixar, Disney movies and dream works a run for they’re money! Such a legendary scene!
This brought tears to my eyes because i have been searching for this movie for so long and i finally found it. It was my father who introduced me to this movie and it brought back memories.
Fr! Not a freakin word was said in this scene and yet you can litterally feel the emotion and story just by the music and world! The fact these characters look so ok about the world crumbling and floating around them litterally tells a story like no other!
This is one of my favorite scenes in animation. Holy hell this movie is underrated.
Yes, it truly is! Just like the cartoon.
The cartoon was so and so. But the movie is pure art
@@Leprutz that intro though
@@Leprutz reverse tho
lmao yeah
This may genuinely be the most underrated movie out there. I have yet to meet another soul who's heard of this masterpiece, excluding my Dad, who introduced it to me.
I too have seek for an another who heard about this lost gem as well.
Fellas, this is where I come!

Same
I watched this movie here in Brazil when it was released in the cinema. It was one of the best movies I've ever seen And how I love it and how it shows that even bad people can be heroes
One of the best animation scene ever made in my humble opinion ...
I agree
I must correct you.
The best ever made.

That was back in 2008, with a $14 million budget! The animation still looks better than many recent movies with several times the budget
Every now and then I come back to watch this masterpiece
Just made a beat out of this soundtrack, lol
That one dislike must be from the World Gobbler...
Glizzy gobblers
This fucking lightning strike … one of the most poetic scenes in animation
My grandfather, gave me the dvd for this movie when I was a child, it solidified my love for adventure, magic, and dragons
10 years later and I've finally found the origin of the melody that has constantly come back into my head. Beautiful piece, beautiful scene
Haven’t seen this movie in over 11 years. Brings back a lot of memories, from a time when the world was a better place.
ever since i saw this movie years ago i could not get this soundtrack out of my head. i finally decided to look for it. idk why this movie is so unkown its so beautiful and eerily pleasing. im so glad my dad introduced me to this movie.
Animation is crazy good. I miss this movie and idk where to watch it😥
Here :)
ruclips.net/video/QCniWhByvGs/видео.html
This scene is perfect in every way
Oh My! Ta scena sprawiła, że zakochałam się w tym filmie. Muzyka jest niesamowita..grafika zapiera dech w piersi..Wspaniałe!
Zgadzam się!
Modern disney and pixar animations don't match the originality and feeling of this movie, passion and vision.
The movie of my childhood. This scene, this universe are engraved in my mind forever.
I finally feel it, that sad nostalgia when looking back at your childhood, no Minecraft needed
Cartoon: bright and happy. Movie: dark and have post apocalipse climate
Holy shit i thought this was a fever dream I remember watching this movie as a kid thinking it was how to train your dragon (this was right when they came out) and oh my fuck if they waited a few years to release this so howto train your dragon didnt steal its thunder it wouldve been remembered throughout the decades
2022 and I still watch this movie at least once a month!! And listen to Jalan Jalan over some Binaural beats constantly while studying!!
My most favorite movie as a child. Haven't seen it in 11 years, man time goes by fast
Beautiful movie. E esta cena incrível.
Un día cualquiera cuando era adolescente, tenia el canal de cartoon network en la tele para mantener ocupado a mi hermanito, una canción muy peculiar que emanaba de la tele llamó mi atención.
Era esta obra de arte tanto visual como auditiva, de inmediato me quede pegado viendo la escena, se me puso la piel de gallina y cuando la escena de los rayos destruyendo el edificio apareció, quizás no lo sabia en ese momento pero estaba en el punto mas alto de un un frenesí psicológico.
Desde entonces es una canción que escucho frecuentemente, la ocupo principalmente para, dormir o relajarme e imaginar que estoy en ese ambiente de edificios colapsados flotando en el cielo de un atardecer caótico pero con calma... Simplemente maravilloso.
Goosebumps 💯💯❤️
Watched this movie a lot of times as kid 💖
Will this become an UNREAL pleasure,that will open peoples eyes with its smooth 60 fps 👀 like never before
This movie makes me cry. It’s a sad movie.
I love 😍 the music
This scene is SO emotional. 😢😢😢😢😢😥😥😥😥😥
Nostalgic music
Classic
One question I have always asked myself is what is under all of it
Maybe nothing... Its the place devasted by the world eater
So you were just full forever
feeling lost
too bad the characters look the way they do.
What do you mean? They look like 3D versions of the cartoon character.
Taste. I love the way they look.
Taste, I do not. 🤷♀️
Well stfu
I've not spoken a word. So... noted. Opinion stands.
I mean the entire design of the End of the World still catches me all these years later, it truly gives you these vibes
This turned out way longer than i thought.
In my opinion, this movie is kind of absurdist. Take my ideas with a grain of salt, as I don't know anything about this world outside of the movie, so details may be wrong or misguided.
This movie takes place in a world that's dying, literally coming to an end. The places we see, the castle, the empty roads, and pure sky, there's almost nothing left. The world is full of dangerous monsters that prey on townsfolk, and bitter, solitary old men reminisce about the days before everything went wrong. The heroes and knights are dead, the world is missing, and the end of the world is literally onky days away.
It's no coincidence the location the protags are going to is called "The End of the World." Literally, the world they are in is ending, and all we see is the end. We're not given more information than we need, or even as much information as we need, because it doesn't matter.
Who used to live here, in this city at the end of the world? What happened to the ghost town, with all the doors closed and in pristine condition? Why is everything floating? These questions are left unanswered and unasked by the character's in the movie because they *do not matter.*
Nothing matters in the world of this movie, and this is something that each of the characters grapple and come to terms with throughout its runtime. From the outset, it's shown to be a cruel and careless setting, where orphans and outcasts are beat up and picked on, childhood homes get decimated, people get eaten and attacked regularly, and for no purpose.
A unifying theme amongst the characters is that each is anchorless, adrift in this world much like the rubble and islands around them-I'm sure this is purposeful symbolism. All 3 protagonists are orphans. Zoe lives in an old castle with her uncle, who cares little for her, and his steward, who cares less. Lian Chu's village was obliterated 20 years ago, leaving him as the sole survivor. I don't know what the other character's situation is, but he also has no home and no family, born into a land that doesn't care about him at all.
Each character has a separate outlook on this truth-that the world is cruel and uncaring, and that everything is about to end. Zoe, the young girl, chooses escapism. She doesn't pay attention the hardships of her kingdom, and doesn't dwell on the deaths of her parents or any of the portents of doom that emerge. We are introduced to her mid fantasy-battle, retelling the same fairy tale over and over, constantly escaping to a simple world where strength and determination are enough to save everyone from the monsters and entropy that surround her.
Lian Chu dwells in his own thoughts, he is somber and soft spoken. Lian Chu is empathetic, looking for and seeing only the best in people. He feels sorry for Zoe, immediately seeing her as someone else who is adrift. He stuck up for the small, skinny kid who would later become his only friend, because he knew what it felt to have the world kick you while you're down. He just wants a farm, to raise sheep and cattle, and bring something into the world that has long been empty since the death of his village.
The skinny guy (forget the name) chooses nihilism. He was born poor and small and had it rough from the jump. No family, picked on at the orphanage, he saw morality as something to be afforded by people stronger or more powerful than him. He became clever, and then cynical. As he grows, he cheats people and gets cheated in return-and when that happens, he turns that blame inwards. He doesn't blame the townsfolk when they cheat him, if he was in their position he would do the same thing. It's a dog eat dog world, and the only thing that matters is looking out for #1.
I think the adventure that they go on-1 willing, 1 ambivalent, 1 unwilling-is a great metaphor for a search for meaning, and chips away at all 3's perspectives on the world around them. As they travel, they encounter wonder, mystery, danger, but more than any of that, they experience loneliness and permanence. Multiple times, we look back on the path the adventurers have just traveled, only to find that it has literally crumbled away. The past is behind us, literally and figuratively, and there's no way to return. Apart from one dead man and one mad one, the 3 adventurers are totally alone in terms of friendly company for the rest of their journey. The movie often emphasizes this, with wide open shots of a beautiful but desolate world, completely alien to anything we know. The characters trudge through these backdrops with no reaction, these vistas have no affect on them. At first, each falls further into their ideologies when confronted by this haunting, solitary adventure. Zoe rambles on and on about how dashing Lian Chu is, how much he's like silver knight gothic, desperately wishing for her fairy tale world to come true. Lian Chu becomes even more solemn and quiet, only speaking when he's directly addressed, and absolutely refusing to let her, or any passing sheep, come to harm. The small one becomes more cynical and more nihilistic, he constantly feels no desire to seek out truths that lie at the end of the world. He has no honor, no dignity, no empathy. He has no respect for custom or the sanctity of life, and why should he? Not much life remains that isn't hostile or simply evil. His tethers to meaning-and sanity-lie only with his one friend now.
At the end of the 2nd act, these competing ideologies come to a head, and all 3 are confronted with reality. Lian Chu knows he is doomed, and reminisces on the fact that they will probably lose. Zoe realizes that these 2 people are not knights, but liars, and this gallant adventure is much more likely to kill her than become an epic tale. The small one realizes that his greedy and selfish behavior has now left him truly, utterly alone. Now, he has nothing, and starts slipping into madness the moment he realizes it.
As the characters reach the end of the world, this is how they stand. Each alone, each helpless, in a land the king described as "a barren wasteland, with no life and no hope." The city that used to be here must have been mighty and proud once, for it has the most intricate and beautiful architecture seen to date, but the building are tattered and broken, buried in 10s to 100s of feet in ash. It reminds me very much of the ringed city from dark souls.
The team bands together, and fights the World Gobbler, literally the death spectre of the world, a massive, mysterious bone dragon that inhales everything it sees. However, at the end of the world, with no hope in sight, all 3 choose to believe in each other and themselves, and all 3 march on in the face of impossible odds and no real chance.
As the story ends, each character has found real value in the world around them, even before they stop the calamity that is going to end it. In fact, it is this very belief that does end that world, and rebirth it to a refreshed and vibrant paradise.
Each character is lost, adrift and breaking apart, much like the debris around them. It is only when they find meaning in each other and in this life that the world returns from its dull grays and shattered architecture into verdant fields. Just as they heal the land, they've healed themselves.
I think that this movie shows 3 different approaches to the nihilism and isolation problem-avoidance, isolation, and selfishness- and shows the flaws in each. By the end of the movie, they are not celebrated heroes or extremely wealthy, but they are happy-something none of them were before.
I wish I had the ability to craft a story like this, but I wouldn't even know where to start. I'll have to content myself with appreciating them.
great comment, and I generally agree with this view. As far as I'm aware, the film is a prequel to the animated TV series of the same name, still need to watch that one.
It took me and my brother talking about Random dumb stuff to remember this movie. After remembering we looked up this scene and we’re completely blown away!how could we forget such an amazing scene!.
The music! The characters! And oh my god the Animation is more then enough to give Pixar, Disney movies and dream works a run for they’re money!
Such a legendary scene!
THAT LITERALLY JUST HAPPENED WITH ME AND MY BROTHER LOL
One of the coolest, Relaxing and spine-tingling scene in history of Animation
One of the best animated films ever.
This world is very interesting, I always wanted a sequel, there is so much to explore.
The original Dragon Hunters TV series is basically a sequel, as this movie serves to be a prequel to it.
This brought tears to my eyes because i have been searching for this movie for so long and i finally found it. It was my father who introduced me to this movie and it brought back memories.
One of the best animation scene ever made 2020
Which company makes this movie
@@Andrewthemansky futurikon
This scene always made me feel some type of melancholy
This movie is just a dark souls/elden ring adaptation and i f*cking love it !
Fr! Not a freakin word was said in this scene and yet you can litterally feel the emotion and story just by the music and world! The fact these characters look so ok about the world crumbling and floating around them litterally tells a story like no other!
can't even listen to this without crying. I don't know why.
Me and Homie after rather harsh argument:
Потрясающее музыкальное сопровождение.
