Made for the 2018 WAM BAM 48hr animation competition. Animated by Kirsty Heiner - vimeo.com/user64750700 Sam Johnson - / high5toons Backgrounds and compositing by Casey Lim - xitricite.gith...
Yo holy shit this was the best thing I’ve seen in a while. My most favorite animator posted something so adorable and I haven’t heard from his channel in forever
Pikapetey Animations little upset by the mid tier comment... sure its not as good as the other animations they’ve made but the content and wholesome story makes up for it
This was bloody brilliant! I expected the punch line was gonna be "splat!" then the bird eats him or something horrible like that. This was damn uplifting (litterally)
The whole time, i was thinking "oh man..any second, the seagull is gonna eat that fish.... Any second...wait.. Something cute?!
And the fish have lsd inside him and seal have a trip
same
If younot gonna put another " at the end then why even put one
IKR!!

He's gonna eat that fish ya know
Yeah he did a comp with 2 other people, which had a time limit at the end of last year. They came in second :)
I found this channel not that long ago and I’m kinda sad that this guy doesn’t upload often(or much at all:( )
The music at 0:38 sounds like something you'd put in an early 2000s flash game
I KNOW RIGHTTT
Exactly what I was thinking
Warms the heart and soul
So tender a fish & gull
After Pikachu on Acid, i wasn't expecting something like that but it was so refreshing !
You can say it’s above *sea* level
Exactly 🤝
Reminds me of Kiwi, one of the first viral videos on youtube
jippalippa please don’t , that video is sad
I also remember Kiwi
wanted to write the same exact thing...
My sentiments exactly!
Even now that video hits me.
This was awesome, Sam! Looking forward to the next comp 😄
Unrelated but thanks for the based claymations you made while I was growing up
Thanks Callum! Looking forward to it as well!
High5toons?
Come bacc...
Pls
Yeah
@@RUbberRust didn't know I was a crab
@dabbing sans i changed the name because the videos i make
good job for 48 hours. plays like a mid-tier undergrad film.
Ok
Pikapetey Animations little upset by the mid tier comment... sure its not as good as the other animations they’ve made but the content and wholesome story makes up for it
Pikapetey Animations Cool story bro
Damn, talk about a compliment sandwich...
You think u r so high and mighty ? Stfu this guys works is much better than ur crappy animations
I got newgrounds vibes from this
1:33 and so he cracked his head on the craggy waters, leaving the seagull with an easy and idle meal.
THANK YOU for not ending this the way 90% of these videos end!
It feels like the Flash animations from 2000s, not in terms of quality, but general feeling.
I was totally going to say something similar! Really reminded me of old school flash cartoons from newgrounds and such.
I appreciate this wholesome cartoon 🤗
I had almost but forgotten I was subscribed to this channel!
Yup, this is kinda how evolution went down... Right?
Really cool animation, but in all honesty i need Pikachu on Acid 3. BADLY.
yeah the cliffhanger is fucking with me man

The most wholesome thing I’ve seen all year!
That was so precious. It made me feel feelings. I thank you, Highttoons. Thanks for the good feelings. :)
This was bloody brilliant! I expected the punch line was gonna be "splat!" then the bird eats him or something horrible like that. This was damn uplifting (litterally)
and so the fish and the bird became best friends, the end
Very nice. Something wholesome for once on RUclips.
Yay! High5 is back
Plz come back we miss you!
I did not expect this at all. So different from your original style. I love it !
I liked this high toons. This was cute.
Always a good day when high5toons uploads
This is so wholesome and cute! Amazing animation!
That was Pixar short cuteness level
Well that was unexpectedly wholesome.
That's... nice.
The whole time I was thinking about " oh man any second the seagulls gonna whip out a fatty and smoke it". Lol this was wholesome I approve
wow this was so wholesome :D
Love the animation
Dang, what a blast from the past! It's exactly like one of those old Newgrounds flash animations!
The water mixed with the animations on the beach , could do a movie in that style for Disney
Wow, this was legitimately cute and charming!
pikachu on acid 3. Hand it over
Ye
that was...... absolutely sublime and sweet.
This is what i needed
We need you to start animating again :( we all miss you.
Keep being awesome dude
This was awesome, I like the change in direction even if it was for just one positive uplifting video
That Mudskipper is really adorable
I hope more of him and his seagull pal will be seen in the future
No worries guys he’s not dead, he always uploads every 2-4 years
This was so wholesome :)
Dang, I do like this artsy "student project" "animation competition" style of stuff. It's always something creative and cool to watch.
That was surprisingly wholesome.
currently tripping ballz, this shit 100x better on acid, you really just ogtta come back and experince it right
That was wholesome.
I love everything you post
Nice I’m glad the bird dint eat da fish
That day, we never saw High5Toons ever again.
This was some Pixar level emotions
This was wholesome... too wholesome.
I was waiting for the fish to be eaten... Maybe I've watched too much Cyanide and Happiness
woo love it sam!~
Now this is lofi hip hop to relax/study to
Pixar and Disney be shook, wig snatched
Man We need a conclusion to the Pickachu on acid trilogy, please come back!
Giving it one good last memory before it gets picked apart.
I was waiting for the whole video to play psychedelic music 😂
Such high quality sound
and he was never seen again.
Congrats on 500k
UwU
I hope you are good, high5toons.
Btw. Your shop is briliant - simple, clear and work just perfectly :D
This is wholesome
Awww, this was adorbs. I liked the little noises of the fish TvT And that the gull became friends with it
Huge respect to that seagull 👏🏻
Bro this is beautiful
It's the Muddy Mudskipper Show!
always a good day when you post
“It’s life is very different from that of most fish”

Feels like newgrounds all over again
AWWWWW..... The ending :)
Two Worlds, One Family.
Welcome back baby
Holy shit a new 5toon
So nice. You guys are amazing, you should do more animations.
This diserves way more views.
wholesome birb
Oh ok 48 hours. Now it's more impressive.
I've missed you, High5toons :,)
Hope ure doing all right
I enjoyed this asmr video.
That sounds like a Adobe flash but I love it
Plot twist: the mud fish suddenly dies because of the lack of moisture on its skin
That just gave me the feels
This sounds like it came from newgrounds (or like the audio was rendered within flash or sumthin)
I love it!
Aww, that's wholesome :)
this is incredible
sweetest bird ever?
This was great!
This sounds like newgrounds stick figure animations, kind of nostalgic
this made me happy for a momento
The come back
that fish is so happy at the end
Reminded me of an animation short about a kiwi but this has a happy ending instead
Miss you man
I thought the story would take a sudden turn and the seagull brings the fish (or mudskipper) to its nest to feed its children. It's nice though.
He’s back :D
This channel has been for 8 years on RUclips and it haven’t got the credit it deserves :|
Ik right🤦🏾
Plot twist the bird brought the fish thing to its nest to feed its babies
