I cried. I'll just come out and say it. When the dad died, I broke out in tears because you don't realize how important your loved ones are until they're gone. And to have your dreams crushed right before that? So sad. Beautiful animation though!

[@tekanguyen1216]

me too

[@DoctoralisMajor]

It was a pretty emotional moment that I could never expect over which I'd shed tears like a baby boy! Every single scene hit the right spot in my heart because it reminded me of my little girl who I haven't seen for a couple of years since I & her mother separated. Day & night I wonder how Madeleine looks like now. I wish I'd be able to see her as soon as possible. Hats off to all mothers & fathers on earth! ✊💙

Even though Luna didn’t always show how much her father meant to her later on, you could tell she really appreciated him. Sometimes we can get so lost focusing on one dream that we forget the important things in life, but that doesn’t mean we love someone any less. Always show how much you care to your loved ones because time is precious. What a beautiful theme.

I remember watching, 'One Small Step,' a couple of years ago. It is hands down one of the most inspiring things for me. To anyone out there, who knows the Pain of losing a Father, a family member. Please, don't let pain consume you all the time. I lost my Dad 2 years ago and it nearly destroyed me. He was like the Sun of my entire world with an infectious, larger than Life presence. Letting go has never been easy. The hardest part of ending is Starting Again. Remember to breathe. You're only human. Remember that there will always be a piece of them in You, always! Be grateful for the moments you had with them. And, Wherever they may be in the Universe, known or Unknown, send them Love. :') It's okay...You're okay. Kudos to each and every person who was involved in making 'One Small Step,🫡☺️

[@Andjela-doesntlikeherself]

You should consider yourself lucky cause i barely have any memories on my father. My parents got divorced when i was a small child and i barely knew my dad from that day. I had a lot of school work and i had no time to go to his house always. He also had a lot of work lets just say he was pretty financialy stable so he worked 24/7 because he got obssesed with money… So from that day i rarely even talked to him and we are every day forgeting about each other. He started to acuse me that i never loved him one day because i had no time to see him and thats how we split.

[@tocalove_123]

my sister and grandpa died but I recovered I learned not to stay in a shadow and let all my pain gone there in a better place now

[@blabla_Alperrr]

​​@@Andjela-doesntlikeherself It's so sad Friend, I have a bad family. My mom, dad, sisters and brother are really bad. I don't talk to my father and mother, they hated me and I really have no memories with my father. They are always angry and have great hatred, in fact I have no memories with my mother. I even have bad memories. I only have one memory with my sister but only one and it is about love, I cry when I remember it. But she hated me because when she married a bad man, she was really angry and had a lot of hatred. Also my dad and mom didn't help her because they doesn't really like her and the other kids. Sometimes I wonder if such things could happen again, but there are times when it seems so far away to me, I will only remember what it means to have a real mother and father with that one memory. People like us feel the pain very easily

One of the greatest short films I have ever seen in my life. It teaches you that even if you have everything taken away from you, it dosen't mean that the world wants you to fail, it means that the world wants you to know that your loved ones will always watch over you and that you should never give up on something you have always dreamed for.

[@pain17ification_Ray_Smith]

THIS broke me... He was always in her corner, supporting her dream from the moment she had it in her mind. He watched her excitement, her determination, her struggles, her frustration, her sadness... But he never lost faith in her potential to succeed... She was the shuttle, and he was her fuel to reach the moon and stars... Beautiful animation and story. A mastercraft in storytelling

This is first thing that I have actually cried for on KZbin. Not the shorts that promise you would cry, not the sad videos on the news, but this.

The meaning of this short film really hits harder when you mature and realize what it can mean. When you’re young you think this is about a girl who just wants to go the the moon. As you grow older, everything has meaning- even the shoes. Thank you for all of this.🥹🙂

I watched this many times and still cry. This is the best film ever. It still has a great message. Never give up on your dreams. No matter what obstacles you face

[@LightUpSCIENCE]

Omg i cried so much, especially about the dreams and the father! I also noticed how she put her shoes away carefully later in the story.

[@vtinkooctoling]

When the dad died i started crying, she never got to say goodbye or tell him she loved her before he was gone, that's the scariest thing about life you'll never know when you lose your family. Spend time with your family while you can

This is a great film to watch with someone who is deaf or hard of hearing cos it’s a lot more visual; there isn’t a lot of talking, and there’s not much you have to listen to. I’m hearing and my mom is a hearing interpreter. I love silent movies/shows 😊

[@greypace897]

I remember in early highschool when I fell in love with drawing. My dreams was the reason why I continued to live. I wanted to create so many things. But as I grew up, through late highschool, now halfway through college, thinking about working in an office, I'm beginning see my dreams slowly fade. I just don't have the luxury to chase after some of my creative endeavors now. I'm still holding on to the little piece of passion I have left, it truly feels delusional to have hope sometimes. But looking back, I've been through so much. Sometimes I'm surprised I survived and continued to push through even though there seemed to be no reason to live. This film reminded me how strong we can really be. Even with a small flame of passion, I can continue to wake up and struggle, day after day. Even though the world seems to crush you ruthlessly, I'll choose to be believe that I'll be able to tell my younger self, that I am now living the dream. Lets not give up now.

Its 3D but kinda looks like 2D This is the best thing ever WHY ISNT EVERY 3D ANIMATED MOVIE LIKE THIS

[@Editerfr3ak]

The whole “3d but looks kinda 2d” is known as “cel shading.” This is some of the best cel shading I have ever seen.

[@baihaqifaturrachman6430]

It's A New Animation Creator, Some Like 2,5 D

[@petrakurnia6772]

eastern asians more often use this animation styles, not westerners

[@Editerfr3ak]

It's also way more common in video games than movies and the like. With movies, it might look cheap to have it look kinda 3d instead of having people draw frames (plus less need to understand things in terms of 3 dimensions and better opportunity for effects like gonk). With video games, it is absolutely impossible to draw everything that could possibly happen in a 3d plane, so cel shading may be used to make it look 2d. Exceptions would include 2d games using sprites or cutscenes.

[@Kururulover1312]

I have never felt connected to an animation as much as I have with this. My grandpa died a year ago and I graduated college earlier this year before he could see it. With the anniversary coming up, this just got me emotional today. I'm glad I found this video.

[@moved459]

This hit me personally because I don’t have a dad. I mean, he is alive, just not in my life, so it’s always sad to see people with such supportive and loving fathers, knowing that I will never have one. This is such an amazing video.

[@adinavlasin3259]

Oh, be strong

[@thetruemrf7481]

Hey I have both of my parents but the separated when I was around 10 and I soon learned my mother had been cheating on my father for about 3 years so I have to live with the burden knowing this also knowing my mother slandered my fathers name and now my dad is a lonely 53 year old man who nothing but me my sister and our cat. So I also know how it feels to not see my dad in my life most of the time, but hold on silver lyn things might turn up, for they aren't going to with me.

[@thetruemrf7481]

_SilverLyn _ also when I entered as a new student at a new school I the 7th grade, (currently ending 8th grade) I was crushed by a moving car on the first day of school and was put into a wheelchair for about 3 months, so I was bullied and rejected massively. I was also betrayed by my only friend at the time.

[@zakjohnston6673]

_SilverLyn _ I get that, when I was growing up I always wondered about my dad. When I was about 11 my mum with a terrible abusive man and just accepted that the awesome loving families they showed on tv were just make believe, someone’s ideal fantasy. It wasn’t until I was 16, after I’d finished with my edgy nihilistic shtick, that I met a friend who had an actual happy family and I teared up. I feel like we missed out.

[@dearchoppa8]

That made me cry because that's how my grandpa and I are. We were so close when I was little and I always hung out with him when I went to my grandparents' house, but then I started caring about my phone more and paying less attention to him and hanging out with him, he always tries to make me happy, and I mostly don't even talk to him when I go to their house. He has the sweetest heart and has still alive, but he is overseas visiting his family in the middle east. I really miss when I was little.

The problem with this was that the reason why these people neglected themselves was because they have the "I need to use my time to study instead of doing the the things I actiually like that are fun because I need to get higher grades." mindsets. So instead of relaxing from time to time and enjoying life, they chose to hustle and constantly focus on passing the exam, cause ain't nobody got time for that. I don't know if that's productive or actually unhealthy?
