[@elizaeri1295]

To be honest, I've come to a point that I prefer this kind of animation and anime over the real- person movie especially from Hollywood😬. This is indeed captivating. Thank you ,thank you and thank you 🙏

[@mariaperezpitti7643]

The animación movies from Hollywood are often optimist.Otherwise, the european ones are dark and dramatic

[@jeanneamato8278]

There’s a lovely animated short in this same vein called ‘the life of death’. I weep at the end.

[@wonderwend1]

I totally agree. Great animation, great characters, great storylines and no merchandising

[@VijayKumar-oj4ju]

Pitt. O. O o o

[@kma3647]

Cartoons (anime) have the potential to be even more real than real actors. Hyper-realism does have it's appeal. It'd be easier to make an argument for real actors if Hollywood still attempted to make good movies. They committed to become an ideological propaganda machine and it's been downhill ever since.

[@jamiepatterson1214]

Death won over by a beautiful little girl, though her time was short. Sad but beautifully done.

[@olasin3]

Yes. You speak my reflection.

[@mardanlifetv9622]

Great

[@mk_wizard]

Death is a very misunderstood entity. If people researched the old mythologies about him, they would know that he is in fact a kind of noble entity who tries to be fair. He isn't evil or sadistic. He is an entity of mercy and appreciating balance. Yes, he is dark and sombre, but he's actually one of the more compassionate deities.

[@teminternetemmordor7178]

I mean, he just doing his work.

[@corneliu-bogdansandru5628]

Riiight. And you, smarty pants, understand death. From Google. How "cool". Are you still alive? I mean, don't you wanna reach the pinnacle of your understanding, and meet your death? You'll feel accomplished, oh, knowledgeable one!

[@kibblenackle431]

Death is never the end nor should be feared instead it should be welcomed.

[@KLune92]

Plus he is the ferrier of souls to the afterlife, he guides every soul he can to their rightful place.

[@johndavies1090]

Very often the dark lady (I think of the angel of death as female) comes as a friend.

a little girl hugging death is something u dont see everyday. this should b rlly depressing but im oddly fond of it.

[@Eh-jz8tl]

baloney100000 And then she dies, and then there BEST FRIENDS, AND AS THEY WALK AWAY THEY SING THE F.U.N SONG AS THEY WALK AWAY!

[@nigaraparna6871]

This means u can't chng ur fate...Even with ur clarity bt whatever it is u could embrace it

[@vinanair5916]

Thats a unique manner of expressing the short communication between death and the girl but i like it too.Guess death claims a soul only when its time has come otherwise it cannot.So initially though it left the girl to return till her time came immediately thereafter she died in the accident.So the messenger could ' lawfully' take her to the abode of death.Or else maybe, death came by earlier to claim her little soul!

[@spimentel562]

Innocent dont fear death

[@ladamadenadie1658]

And then you have the children with decent mothers who want to be orphans instead... Life.... One cant always win in it. 🙆

[@yolandaortega8884]

It breaks my heart , she could have gone home with me , always wanted a little girl , made me cry a lot the first time n second time , third I saw it I felt more at ease she was going to a better place 💕

[@dakotastein9499]

this kind of prooves the point that the entity of death isnt the literal instroment of demise rather the one that sheppards whatever soul lands in his care.

[@jennakaufman4471]

I like how death is growing fond of the little girl whom he originally came to take away, eventually they end up being together ☺️ sad yet beautiful ending

[@maami8965]

It is not sad, death takes the little girl to heaven.

[@therooster030]

Sometimes things we consider as the sad one is the sweetest one.

[@immortalpsycho3658]

These guys should create their own company and make amazing movies because these are so powerful..

[@jettmgoss]

Yes, but unfortunately its hard to get into the film industry unless you have connections. Hollywood is also very biased and it takes a lot of money for equipment as well.

[@Dipa551]

Amazing, cute innocent orphan girl, as per her wish she was able to stay with him 😭😭.

[@maryamsaleem6473]

But Angel of Death is not very kind ,he does his work.

[@user-hj3gq5fm6h]

Привет, я не знаю французского языка, но этот эпизод затронул мою душу. Смерть не обманешь , как бы не избегала, но невинная душа покорила "душу" смерти , что он дал умереть девочке естественной смертью. Это так трогательно. Спасибо режиссёру.

[@veralucianegreiros]

Se sei ler em português. Lindo,tive a impressão que a morte estava ficando triste por ter sido cativada pela garotinha e ao mesmopor ter que leva- lá.. triste e belo ao mesmo tempo..

[@benoitmadeleine6699]

Hi guys ! thx for your support ! we spent 1 years on this short so it's cool to see all your positive comment here :) thx to The CGBros for sharing our short !

[@ChamchamsDen]

Benoit Madeleine i love it

[@PERDEVdotPH]

Year* for short movie?

[@benoitmadeleine6699]

yep, we were just 5 guys working on it.

[@eyelessjack8260]

Can you please tell me if the girl knew who he was.. if she died on purpose or accidentally? And, did he come to take her because he knew the future?

[@Tambryl]

It was beautifully done, truly. The emotions that flow, fear, concern, sadness/sorrow, joy, all for a little girl facing death as her dearest friend.

[@cindiclaudia2267]

Idk but i'm into short movies lately and this is one of the best ..

[@victorious276]

The short ones are better. I think it's because they're so short, and they're made usually by smaller companies or independent people. The creators of short films are more concerned with quality over quantity, unlike Hollywood and the "big" producers.

Shhhhhhhh we don't talk about the abomination that is the latter

[@Suppenfischeintopf]

That's the difference between those who care and those who make money.

[@eDrIClImOAnCo]

To understand one individual is to understand the audience choice and matter. It is not of greed of wealth or the artists of slothful, uncaring hands, it is because, in grim reality, majority outweigh the few and many come to seek pseudo-happiness just to fill their empty hearts. In other words, nobody want to see such a morbid tale or otherwise serious. They all come to enjoy the flashy lights and the goofy characters to give some meaning of joy.

[@pirasa]

[@mariamagpile8554]

This is a beautiful way of showing how to face death when it comes,the dying and those left behind. Actually,we need GOD'S Grace to have the courage to accept death when it comes, then peace follows. This holds true for people who are terminally ill and for the loved ones that will be left behind. Those suffering from painful illness like cancer would welcome death and embrace it as it would put an end to it,a great relief also to loved ones taking care of them. I know, because both my mom & dad died of cancer. Sad to say though is, the hardest thing for us left behind is how to cope with the lost and to move on.

I was thinking he was taking her with him to do his duties, kinda like a lucky charm, pet or sidekick to make his journey less lonely, and add a thing called love to his deathfilled days.

[@zunairish]

Some people are so innocent that this cruel world does not deserve them so they are left alone. Death is the only one that hugs them and they think they can get their love there so they show no resistance on going with it just like this little girl. Lots of love for the people who are denied by this world. You do not belong here. You belong to a place with golden hearted people like you. Those who do not have any friends, be friends with others like you who do not possess any friends and one day this connection would make this world better for all other people out there who are denied by the world and have no one to be with them. Love you my friend❤

To life, to death, to fate unknown, Cheer to those the shine that grown. And fare her heart with love and hope, That neither death shall reap or cope. For she the light and gold and ray A friend to death that cannot stay. Yet time demand a twisted turn, In chance where eternity yearn.

[@hannahdodd2898]

So... He spared her life.. For her to die....... I mean, she expressed not wanting to go back to the orphanage, indicating that her relationship with the nuns isn't good, and her only friend had died earlier, so it seems like the more compassionate way to go... But I feel so unsatisfied with that ending.

[@kubadzejkob332]

Well, you said it's a more compassionate way to go: Death took her away, as he felt it would make her feel better. That's what it took: she had to die.

[@kubadzejkob332]

Well, at least following my interpretation, that the Scyther actually decided to take her away at that moment.
