I just realized that the white flower can only appear in places where things have died. She rose from the dead of the red flower's family, and now others of her rose amongst the dead deer's remains.
I watched this animation many years ago as a kid and I remember it kind of scared me. Watching it now, I'm amazed by how it still sort of holds up to time. Quite a beautiful video, I'm glad I remembered it after all these years.
Well it looks creepy to me as an adult
I saw this many years ago and it is still as beautiful and touching as it was then. Amazing craftsmanship.
Spettacolare ❗️
The red flower seemed selfish, wanting to be beautiful by hurting the white one. She really just wanted to get her poison back to help the white flower achieve her goal; to become something bigger and more beautiful then she already was. This is beautiful ❤️
The Star Seeds. In Full explosive radiance. New Beginnings!
Ur right...
@@forest487 Please, don't project yourself in this and calling others who have a different point of view stupid or idiot...
Just like the negative Pos actress that voices the red flower. Negative, bitter, judgemental, double standard ridden... monster.
I often return to this animated short...it helps remind me of how far I have come from the emotional abuse of my mother, the red flower.🌺
In the end, the white flower not only became part of something bigger, but she finally reached the sun.
at least white flower wasnt alone after that happened
\😅😂😂😂😂😈
But she died
@@MusicLoverMN But she really didn't die for good...she came back...alot of little white flowers in the sun...🌞🌸
@@MusicLoverMN -No she didn't. It was close, but it was White Flower's pollen that spread her Descendants all over the deer-thing's body. The bee-thing carried it over on its feet.-
Edit: Okay, I admit I was wrong, White Flower did die, I just missed that on first pass. And it wasn't pollen, it was blood that spawned the Descendants. Wow, wrong all around. Sorry.
Am I the only one who think this deserves an award 🤗
Creativity 💯
It won at the Tokyo Anime Awards
amazing! The whole time I believed the red flower had ill intent but sacrificed herself in order for the white flower to regrow.
I don't that was its intentions.. But it just happened to luckily turn out that way
I think the red flower just wanted revenge. She got her poison back and used that poison to kill the animal.

Большое спасибо за субтитры на русском !❤
Очень красивый и философский фильм - в нём правда жизни , неумолимая но прекрасная .🤗✌
Да, в этом и заключается добрая, положительная мораль. Ты даришь себя, свою любовь и заботу ближним и этим не просто увековечиваешь себя, а прорастаешь в потомках, в будущем...
А были и русские субтитры? Я только английские видел.
@@sokollvanov
Специально зашла посмотреть . Есть субтитры на русском .
@@Iren65UK Есть, и хорошо. Мне и английских хватило.
there are so many interesting ways people see this video. it shows how diverse our perspectives are
Agreed
@thespACEchannel I assume you're kidding, right? I mean Pelosi and the rest of the Dem establishment would love for us all to have the same perspective but in spite of them Congress is growing a people's wing that celebrates our diversity. Vote for the corporate-free candidates.
I was trying to get through a full term of community college without dropping out so I could transfer to a university, but I was having trouble with focus. I had dropped out of college three times already. I had made friends with people who were going nowhere fast, and I had a boyfriend with whom I could see I would have no future.
@@tionalindanguyen9040 So are you saying this video helped you get through it?
@@dontaylor7315 I think the person is saying that this is what they understand from the video and the same thing happened to them.
i don't know why but i keep watching this over and over it too good and the red flower is so beautiful ....."the most beautiful thing are often the most dangerous"
its poison ivy, is it not?
@@missannie343 No.
Poison ivy is a leaf.
this is a pitcher M8.
especially--if you marry one of them
@@katka1406 Good point about discernment. But the red flower is "female" and voiced by a female actress.
@@katka1406 Great interpretation.
THE RED FLOWER 🌹 was hurt inside she lost all her family and she was also wounded and bleeding that's why the bugs were eating her, she wanted revenge but she also felt compelled to the innocence of the white flower because she new that deer was no magical beast but a creature who would just eat her, the red flower got her poison back and not only got revenge but she also sacrifice herself to protect the white flower
the red flower was a bit selfish because of her so called revenge
No it did not, it was reborn as most plants in nature do. When a tree dies it leaves a sapling etc. The Red flower being older, wiser and knowing more about the world understood that if it sacrificed itself and at the same time got revenge on the beast, it would create a new, bigger family for the white one and most importantly teach the youngling a valuable lesson. Because now the white flower is happy and has no need to explore the dangerous world as it did get its wish and became part of something greater. Especially since the beast and her became a part of each other in the end. The red flower was very wise indeed. I think people misunderstood the kindness of this due to the adult theme. At least that's how I interpreted it.
Alex James the red flower is a fucking boy
catincostumelvr well it really sounds just like a guy,if it would be a woman,that doesn't sound healty
catincostumelvr Timmy turner is voiced by Tara strong. Voice actors don’t need to be the same gender to voice a character
Firstly i thought that the red flower was bad one, But when he sacrificed his own live to protect the white flower, surprisingly he proves that he was soo good !!! And the beautiful quote was " the most beautiful things, often times, are the most dangerous"
sooooo beautiful !!!!
how the red flower said. "the most beautiful things, often times, are the most dangerous." then later the red flower becomes all pretty and such.
and poisonous, pretty and poisonous
+Jeannette Melendez That's true...
Because he is filled with poison and beautiful don't you understand that? Haha😂🌹
Janet Pie the red flower was poisonous that is why the deer fell down and died
The red flower is proving her statement by being what she warned the white flower about
The red flower looked like an asshole Because she was full of hatred and bad violent and cruel words. But in the end she saved the white flower, killed the enemy AND helped her friend to reach her dream : Become something bigger.
It's a beautiful movie. Very strong impact. The naive one struggled but lived a better life in the end. The one who was obsessed with revenge ended frustatred and.. dead. The two flowers were brave.
Amazing. Also they were beautiful, amazing faces and personality. The realism was crazy. The person who realised this is very talented.
You mean the red flower is a girl!!!!😱😱😱😱😱😱😱🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
+Karen Roberts I'm sorry, but... Seriously? Two words... Whoopi. Goldberg.
+Balssou They are also very good with the graphics in this movie :)
At first I thought the red flower tried to steal the white flowers misguided dream. That she didn't sacrifice herself to save the white flower, she jumped in front of her to be taken instead. But I could be wrong and maybe she did sacrifice herself to save the whited flower. The red flower was toxic and maybe she knew she had to get strong to produce her poisons to kill the alien bambi..
Red Flower was driven by hatred. Like the animal killed her family on purpose (not). But hatred blinded her to everything else so she manipulated White Flower to kill the beast. Nothing selfless about it at all. After all, when the beast fell, it killed the original White Flower. Red Flower thought of no one else but her own vendetta. It was poetic irony that the insects that diminished Red Flower's toxicity also spread White Flower's seed to reproduce in the carcass of the beast Red Flower murdered.
Как человек своим воображением и фантазией может создать чудесный образ и сюжет.Красиво.
I would like to understand what u said.
Hi Marina
Добро всегда побеждает Зло.
@@user-ov4dn3qw2o only in stories
It's interesting how people interpret the movie a little differently from others. Though most of the comments think Red is vengeful, I saw it as angry and protective over white. But also accepts that the deer makes White happy so Red 'gave' White the deer. Albeit with a cost.
I find Red kind despite the harsh appearance and words. It's just angry about what happened to it's family, but I think the intention to kill the deer came to be with White's happiness in mind.
Regardless if I see it as intended by the creator, this piece is just beautiful.
A genius movie from an age old story that's hardly been told.
I've never seen anything like it.
Plus whoopie Goldberg is icing on the cake.
Agreed.
I know this is an old comment but what story are you referring to?
Who?
He save the white flower and he get revenge for his family. Nice ♥
She* the red one is a girl :) She is voiced by Whoopi Goldberg
Okay thanks.
🍃This was the most spectacular animated visual I have ever seen. Artistically beautiful, and hauntingly sad. The sacrifice of oneself, for another to produce such natural beauty from the cycle of decay.🍃
Bravo! Well done.
Many find this profound and beautiful. I guess so? The lessons I've learned here are: Don't trust anyone, nature is unforgiving and cruel, and if you unintentionally and unknowingly hurt someone, eventually they will poison you to death and you will never know why you died. Then flowers will grow out of your slowly decomposing corpse. Have a nice day!
Right!This really makes you question the Reality of this planet as as a whole. The graphics are amazing yes,but the plot and meaning behind this story is alot more deeper and a bit darker when u realize how unforgiving and selfish and deceptive nature really is.The earth is tainted.Everything on this earth eats each other or destroys one another.I like ur thinking Lady! Lol bunch of pseudo intellectuals on this post 😂😂😂😂✊💜
In the end, she did become part of something bigger than herself, which is what she wanted.
Wow i had no idea jeez you must be a genius or something wow
Golly, you surely must be intelligent since you feel the need to bash on someone for making an observation.
Allison Yaffee can't we all just get along for 2 seconds
tro lenyu take a seat calm down and drink some coke... or sprinkle it on powder sugar and be like HEY GUYS WANA SNORT SOME COKE W/ ME?! either way calm down n stop being so angry
These guys need to find themselves in nice beach house and relax hell I could need one right now
"The most beautiful things often times are the most dangerous." Dayum that's deep.
Yeah better not wash dishes cos they are beautyful when they are washed :D
I really pity the red flower, it sacrifice itself for the white. The red knows the circle of life. How things work, it knows how the flower can reach the sun. This is really good
Whoopie sure fits that part!!
words can't even express how much I love this.....
This is beautiful and so emotional. The graphics are amazing. Just... Wow!
Божественный мультфильм😢🌺 спасибо за истину, которую вы передали в нем🙏 на самом деле сложно иметь столько смирения и принятия, Боже дай сил и мудрости🙏🙏🙏
He meant " I want to be poisonous" when he said "I want to be beautiful again"🤟🤟
Duh lol
yes, and he was dead :'( NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow. This is the best animated short I've seen. Light will always prevail over darkness. Amazing job with the face animations, voice acting, texturing and cinematography. Truly a spectacular and beautiful representation of life.
Light will always prevail over darkness, so that means you can walk on sun during night?
What a lovely presentation. How thought provoking. I view flowers in another realm now. Thank you for such a clever and imaginative film

Peridot Thank you
@Guerdithe Cius Killed two birds with one stone no pun intended
Red flower is gay
This is a beautiful story and very well animated. Wasn't expecting voices much less Woopie Goldberg! This is something I will definitely watch anytime I feel down. So glad this was in my Up Next recommendations.
I heard Whoopie too but who was the other voice actor? This was deep!!!
This really is like Romeo and Juliet. Forbidden love, Romeo dies by poison, Juliet stabs herself. Not exactly like it, but does have a lot of resemblance.
I agree. It's similar to romeo and juliet. The difference is in the end, their mutual death brings along something beautiful, descendants! It's so sad though...
Yeah julia fakes deaths than romeo killed himself cos he cant see she asleep
What broke my heart was seeing how unhappy the deer flower was, deprived of even the light of the sun. A tragic existence that tormented her each day, until the prospect of being a part of something more, gave her hope. She sacrificed her health in pursuit of that goal, only to have it snatched away from her at the last moment.
Though, as she lay there slowly dying, so close to that "Something more" she desired so badly, it was enough for her. That even though her dreams were torn from her, she found comfort. A bittersweet ending.
Nicely reviewed. Good one.
Dang. That's really deep.
Good review!
When a Taun Taun, a kangaroo, & a deer's DNA cross paths... 😉
i was thinking the same thing
She is descendant of love, peace and kindness..'!!!'💕
I remember seeing this animation when it was first uploaded a few years ago. The animation is still so beautiful and fluid...
This is by the the best animation I have ever seen about a liife cycle.
i remember watching this when i was a kid near 4/6 am on pbs while my parents were asleep. i never really understood the film and only watched some part of it. a couple short films played after this one but this one i thought about the most because of how beautiful everything looked. years later i finally found the video and i still think it’s beautiful.
Wow beautiful things and flowers
A wonderful and touching animation indeed. You don't need to search for a hidden meaning or symbolism behind grotesque drawings or stupid plot like in some other 'award-winning' movies. It's all clear, beautiful and simply amazing.
i'll admit that i had to look through the comments to properly understand the story but a good one nevertheless.
@@Ratigan2 sammmee i was liike, whaaaa--
Beautifully scored and animated. A commentary on life, its outcomes, and purpose both intentional and unintentional. Really - animated art at its finest!
"We are bitter because we are broken" by unknown. (I don't know who said this quote but, is very relatable to the red flower)
Always Love and peace are winners.
It is a very nice story and animation..
"Juliet waits for her Romeo"
How does a flower know about Romeo and Juliette?
+Maria Tulchynsky google
Barbas Geek because, logic
Lol awwww
have read the title yet...
***** google translate
That was so incredible. I really enjoyed watching this film.
Thanks for making & uploading this short film. It was awesome. I totally loved it!
The red flower planned everything to grant the white flower her wishes though sacrificing himself. He needs enough poison to kill the beast and a swell for the white flower to spread the pollen. Very well done! A perfect don't judge scenario!
A very thought provoking story there, I loved it!
This animation is the best I ever seen no lie
Philosophic and deep, thank you!💖Youth is always like this, at all times: world-open, brave for everything new, naive, inexperienced - so sweet. We grow older and get the wisdom, the paradox is we value our own wisdom based on our personal experience more than the best of the best - but someone's. Thank you again, it's the eternal circle of life, a true masterpiece
SUCH A GREAT JOB....!Sooo touching+special...!THANK YOU😊
What a nice story, so sad, but joyful in the end...
I've been watching this for years and it keeps getting better.
This is so well done. The story comes full circle so we have closure, and the Flowers succeed.
I love this short film cause there are so many ways people can interpret it.. Just wonderful..
i think that the red flower wanted to kill the dear because the dear killed his family
That's just part of the reason he did that
He also did it spot save the white flower, to start a new generation of white flowers, to kill the one thing that was danger to the white flower
+Maria Tulchynsky SHE!
How in the world did you think the EITHER flowers were male based on the voices?
***** well i guess i messed that up XD sorry
Maria Tulchynsky
Apologize to woopie goldburg mister. She wouldn't be too happy to hear you thought she had a masculine voice lol
***** lol
this was so beautiful and well made but can someone tell my why the deer walks around like a kangaroo?
its not really a deer, or maybe its a deer from this world? just like how flowers dont really have faces but here, in this world, they do! and speak as well! I believe its an alternative world dear.
+adnan ahmed oh maybe
Maybe a kangaroo married a deer, and they gave birth to a deeraroo.😅😅😅
Adnan Bashir nah, probably more likely the animators didn’t study the movements of real dear much. But that’s okay, because like you said, it doesn’t have to be perfect because they can blame it on this place just being different from earth.
maybe its not deer but walabi and thats marsupialia like kangaroo
VERY INTERESTING SCENE 👌👌👌🌹🌹🌹
This honestly may be the most beautiful story I have ever seen.
This is a masterpiece! Funny thing is this short film shows you how some people really are! Bravo!!!
I think that it is a combination. the red flower wanted to defend the white flower and wanted revenge on the deer thing. it just so sweet how the white flower wanted to b a part of something bigger. :)
Lovely made short animation! Always enjoy seeing vids like this that have more quality than an average two hour movie.
This is a beautiful film with important message. I really love it.
pun here: FACE PLANT
I laughed out loud just when the bugs start eating the white flower!

No greater Love, to sacrifice yourself for a friend. Beautiful artwork..... Thank you.....GREAT JOB.

"The supposedly beautiful things are often the most dangerous!.." Like love...
How DARE u mess with my EMOTIONS
who said that
This was beautiful
Потрясающий мультик о добре и зле!!!!Браво!!!!
What a beautiful story....animation....❤️❤️❤️
THAT is some DEEP stuff right there!
I don't see how the red flower was the hero. To me, the red flower was just trying to avenge its family . You cannot tell me that the red flower planned on getting eating and knew that the deer would fall on the top of the white flower and the bug that was eating the white flower would go on the deer. The deer would deposition and thus growing more white flowers.
That's a little library but I do agree with the flower evenging her family and saving the white flower(bugs and deer)
Haha but that is just what happend, i think some people are misunderstanding red flower
Red was trying to protect White, knowing how naive she was. She wanted revenge for her family too, yes, but I sincerely believe she hadn't intended for it to smoosh White, either.
Потрясающий фильм, как замечательно переданы чистота юного цветка, насколько отвратителен этот ядовитый цветок рядом...
И потомки, выросшие на на месте трагедии, юных и чисты...отвратительному нет места...
Великолепная короткометражка, с глубоким философским подтекстом, побольше таких фильмов...👍👏👏👏❗
A thoughtful cartoon. Descendant are how we attain immortality.
I absolutely adore this piece of work!
Amazing story! Loved it!
I'm going through random short films I watched on youtube as a kid!
This is Beautiful in so many Ways.
This was so beautiful, yet sad... but beautiful. I love it so much I really enjoyed it. I think the ending was so sad but happy at the same time
I remembered this from my childhood, that I had watched it when I was around 7 years old and I this will fit perfect as insporation for an art contest I'm a part of. Thank you ❤️ (I don't know how i remember this but it's amazing that I did in 7-9 years!)
PEOPLE WHO ADDICTED TO MAKEUP FASHION FACE PACK ETC.ETC. SHOULD WATCH THIS
Beautiful movie!!
Tqtq for sharing...💖💝💐
Я потрясена глубиной сюжета и графикой и красками....
This made me cry. The bond they had was the saddest part. She sacrificed herself because she thought she wasn't good enough I r the white flower. And she knew that this would happen.
Arianna Roberts or she revenged her family
I actually think it was just a way to kill the thing. She said she hated them, and no point in living if those things would come back to devour her once again.
+Arianna Roberts I think that the red flower didn't have good intentions. She killed the deer because she considered it as an enemy.
Deep sadness and gorgeous pictures and meaning of love and life takes your breath away.
Magestic. Truly beautiful.
Жизнь - самое ценное, что у нас есть💫💫💫 А достойная вечности жизнь - сокровище всех сокровищ...🔥
The red flower wanted revenge. She got her poison back and used that poison to kill the animal who killed her family before.
and finally the white flower became part of something bigger..
Very good movie, i like it, Good story & Good music God bless u & i👏👌👍
The red flower betrayed the white one, we have a lot of people like that on earth 🌎 today.. Nice job ❤️❤️❤️
A beautiful recreation of what life is about.
This is Creative Story Telling - Good Job. God Bless. Merry Christmas to You All.
Beau, vrai et effrayant, la vie, ce mystère dont nous faisons partie...
