CGI Animated Shorts : "The Alchemist's Letter" - by Pixel Veil Productions | TheCGBros

[@digipicartist]

So beautiful and true. Most tend to forget that the greatest treasure... isnt made of silver nor gold... nor diamonds nor pearls... It comes from the heart... the purest of them all... the one that most take forgranted... Love.

[@ravenstrankman6434]

Every time I watch this short film, I fall in love the story & the music. It is absolutely beautiful.

[@migwi17]

6 years ago and still my favorite animated short ever.

[@alyxice8191]

When you try to animate yourself, you see how hard it is. This animated short film was amazing and so much work was put into it. Everything fits so well, my huge respect for the creators and people who were involved in the process of making this animation.

[@greenlaw6503]

+Monica Martinez xcept the script.

[@abstracthope740]

I agree

[@kyliemanuel9789]

☝☝

[@Benjackalope]

+Vicious Cosmo Can't imagine myself ever disagreeing with Vicious Cosmo as such.

[@sunacchi9402]

For shame to the people who unsubscribed!

[@mscath9425]

This is my favorite short film ever. I always go back to this and watch whenever I have a bad day. It calms me. I love this!

[@ramkam7786]

same, idk why but it makes me feel better

[@adamwatson2914]

John Hurt has such a wonderful voice for this type of thing.

[@danabana8121]

Beautiful. John Hurt has a perfect voice for everything he does. Well done.

[@vsia18]

I have only ONE question. WHY does this video have so few views?! This is a masterpiece which should be shown to a much broader public than just youtube viewers!

[@gailfattori6518]

This is probably one of the most beautiful short films that I have ever seen. It left my in tears. So beautiful.

[@mitchellwhite9920]

I've been saying it for years. Only love matters. Music, food, walks, humor, talking..EVERYTHING takes on a certain glow. And of course strife and struggles as well as grieving are so much more bearable when shared with any one you trust and love the most. It can often be the easiest thing to discover for some or the single most difficult thing to achieve..but so worth at least trying and ONLY works when reciprocated.

[@MaryluvsGod1]

this will forever be my fav short film 🥹

[@Starius2]

Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is Alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange.

[@Starius2]

***** satan

[@Digitize27]

***** The fact you offered up a duck at all intrinsically means you see it as less valuable than that of a human life. If you saw them as equally valuable, you would not go through with it in the first place.

[@hunterfindon1018]

***** Well I doubt the people accepting these exchanges can read your mind. So regardless of whether you feel it be worth less or more, it doesn't matter as long as you have... or lack the morals to do so.

[@Digitize27]

Hunter Findon Wrong, Throughout the show (I'm talking Brotherhood here) We see Edward consistently offering things up to the creature beyond the gate in return for his brother. This only works when *Spoilers for FMA:B* He offers up his ability to use Alchemy, which is seen as just as valuable to him as his brother's body (and is therefore an equivocal exchange. Keep in mind this is just his brother's body, not his soul, he's still alive; but all the same a concept like 'Not being able to do Alchemy anymore' Is somehow worth this. If this creature cannot read minds then this is just using some arbitrary measure; obviously it has some means of deeming personal worth on the things it is offered as exchange.

[@hunterfindon1018]

***** Well then, if that is the case where they somehow know the worth of something, then alright. Honestly, I know very little about this anime, so I'll take your word on that.

[@DeM0nicStaRZ]

THIS DESERVES TO BE A MOVIE. THIS DESERVES TO BE RECOGNIZED ALL OVER THE WORLD. BEAUTIFUL

[@amandanies3174]

I wholeheartedly agree with you.

[@kat-ymoop4128]

ikr!!!! this is a beautiful story very beautiful

[@abirrached609]

DeM0nicStaRZ. yes ikr i love it ❤❤

[@ksndazed2551]

DeM0nicStaRZ I AGREEEEEEE!

[@dikawanangsari469]

Galaxy Wolf Lover

[@iindu11]

This short movie is "PURE GOLD" movie. ..... :) Thanks You so so much

[@ryb3198]

I want this to be a movie so bad! I loved it! Beautiful work!

[@RobertDigitalArtist]

Rykken Beck Yeah, had the same, although this naturally seems like it would be the closing scene, after the son having traveled a long difficult journey to find this. Maybe it could also just pick up from here with the son and his daughter still trying to repair the machine while maybe some villain heard of it as well and is trying to beat them to it or so :P

[@pixitier4604]

Robert LC - Digital Artist I think if they were to try repairing it it would go against the moral of the tale. The journey plot would be a better option to me.

[@morpheoss]

Robert LC - Digital Artist ya i don't see any reason why they would need to repair it if they did the hole point of this video would be pointless. also i don't think i would like some villain being added it would be much better of a movie without some bad guy they need to get rid of.

[@CytheriaXylia]

Pixitier I agree. I think if it was ever a movie, it would be a whole lot more interesting if it was more about the journey. I think it would make this scene more powerful than it already is, and you'd gain more feelings for the son and gain more insight on what type of character he is.

[@vvwakamiya7818]

OMG same :D

[@robvious5804]

This... This just needs to be a full length movie. It NEEDS to be. Absolutely amazing. Great job CGBros.

[@haydenstuart1945]

John Hurt rest in peace. One of the best voices to be recorded.

[@daisi4925]

This needs to be a movie! This was fantastic

[@nahlanahla3364]

I don't know how many times I have re-watch this. I always coke back to this video from time to time. There is something about it that makes you feel good. ❤

[@jamesrw2004]

It just astounds me how the memories twist and change into different elements to fit the story!!! TOP notch voice acting and an awesome storyline. This should be a film and I thank the creator and his team for making this beautiful piece of work.

[@jojothebard6687]

"Equivalent exchange... It is the way of the alchemist. All is one and one is all."

[@jojothebard6687]

Joseph Mayes God bless anyone who got that reference.

[@richeldelorenzo9947]

Not with the feels again haha! I swear once I'm over it, somebody else hints at it :P

[@yamooks2839]

Joseph Mayes Haha FMA XD

[@EyeGanGrowl]

Joseph Mayes i was about to write that, absolutely correct

[@MilaThePurpleOne]

Yes!

[@martangelo2507]

Sometimes i wonder how much effort and money they put into a such wonderful animation like this.. Thank you for this..

[@JayrB]

Beautiful Short Film, just took the golden watch that his father made and not the rest of the gold so greed wont take over him like what happened to his father.

[@danterobles4819]

it of remind you Fullmetal Alchemist

[@JayrB]

+Dante Robles i seen that anime, but its been awhile. i might go try check it out again! thanks.

[@danterobles4819]

+Felipe De Villeres you're welcome

[@alexhurlbut]

But what about the daughter/little sister the son sent out to the sea?

[@leereon1244]

She's the narrator, I think she wasn't abandoned.

[@rahulgeorge2409]

this film had such a deep message to send across. Kudos to the developers, script writers and all on board the ship who boiled their precious blood to see this work through ☺👍

[@pikachupussie644]

wow I'm blown away I wonder why mind blowing shorts films like this never make it to the big screen when we have so many BS movies going mainstream all the time !! this is absolutely superb

[@juanitamaeparish2116]

Like frozen........ugh......this beats frozen a million times more and its ten times shorter.

[@thatboringone7851]

Everyone has their preferences, bud. Try not to put down other's to raise your own.

[@tylerdurden4408]

they only make movies that make money that's why there's so many shit movies like Remakes! If I had the money there would be a lot of better movies and pornos lmao

[@Putokii]

ThatBoringOne Saying that you dont like a movie or that you prefer something else doesn't mean putting down hun. That's his prefence and you just put his down. Contradicted yourself there.

[@thatboringone7851]

Haruka Tsukiyama My point was more that he didn't have to go "this short is a million times better than this other completely unrelated movie. Ugh, that unrelated movie" to explain how he likes the short. Stating simple dislike or preference is a little different from that, or at least it is when you've had to babysit twins who like fighting over the damn movie until they're too tired not to. I didn't put his preferences down. If he doesn't like Frozen and likes this short, that's fine. TL;DR It's the way he put his like of this short into words by saying "this other thing is much worse" that I was focusing on.

[@FlorenzRyanSotelo]

this is why one should never venture to seek gold alone... precious memories can be created infinitely together.

[@ajmasagca]

"Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only truth." - Alphonse Elric, Full Metal Alchemist

[@whiskywizz]

I like the machine that told story from the scence to the scence. It's like Pensieve in Harry Potter.

[@zayn09radz]

Oh my god. I was thinking about how the Alchemist sounded a lot like John Hurt. Turns out it really is him! I love him so much he adds magnificence and magic to everything. This short was so, so lovely. I hope we get more stuff that's as beautiful as this! ✨💖

[@ksndazed2551]

This deserves an AWARD!!! A PRECIOUS GOLDEN MEDAL TO BE PRECISE!

[@whit2642]

It is getting one. Look at the reception it has had. Alchemy is also story tellers who create thought and imagination into others. :)

[@shi_eesh1713]

Engene 🥺 Suddenly get so proud as soon as I see an enhypen stan omg!🥺🥺💜 And trueeee this animation does deserve an awardddd

[@chappingcleeks76]

Fate does not even begin to describe this. Why aren't there more like minded beings

[@MiAeron]

Truly a masterpiece.

[@morticialatex]

Wonderful piece, John Hurt's voice was a terrific addition.

[@skellington8090]

This is AWESOME! We need a feature-length film about this!

[@aliammadrafiq745]

John Hurt is the reason which makes this animation so powerful. Rest in Peace you Legend

[@melanieskala7348]

Wow, this is GORGEOUSLY animated! The details and the process of the story were so captivating. WOW! I can't say that enough!I hope that the artists and his team have a great and blessed day!

[@kaig6135]

Really wishing the music would be released independently, it's absolutely beautiful and is incredibly captivating. This entire short brings chills through every part of me.

[@designmessini6329]

Beautiful story and animation. This animated short should of been awarded !

[@SeeInThree]

Very powerfull, well written and performed with detail. Even though it was pretty short, it took me on a emotional rollercoaster. (a bit like the beginning of "up") Thanks for creating this gem.

[@FelisTerras]

Between the far beyond breathtaking animation, John Hurt's beautiful narration and the quiet, but powerful atmosphere of the both the story as well as the direction, I think this most be one of the most underrated short films ever put into production.

[@loyal2thesoil57]

I still watch this every few years. It is one of the best!

[@titaniumx4507]

My teacher showed this to me and the class 8 years ago. I didn't understand a thing back then but I now i came back and finally watch it again. It is very beautiful. Kinda magical how this also became one of my precious memories

[@katiamartins4374]

One of the Most beautiful Book 👍🎆🕊✨🕊🎇🕊♥️ Thank you so much 🙇‍♀️🌹

[@lucid2969]

I've literally been trying to find this video for years I can't believe I finally found it it would only play when I was like 5 to 6 hours into a trip when I was starting to come down it's honestly one of the best animations I've ever seen. My search has finally ended. ☺️

[@PrDrAbbud]

What matters the most: Love. Wonderful. Unfortunately nowadays many of us do not understand this simple truth.

[@robertdiehl1281]

I immediately recognized John Hurt’s voice. Great piece of work. R.I.P. John.

[@sophiaconwell4275]

cherish every memory

[@everythingfangirl4532]

This is incredible! I cried, I'm not gonna lie. My only complaint is that it's too short!!! Sir John Hurt is wonderful yet again

[@zachnathandizon]

Pure Love is Pure Gold I almost cried.... The precious memories that were also the ingredients is love what made anything turn gold

[@Zachary3D]

I couldn't look away... This was so beautiful and well created. AWESOME work.

[@timmytiger4035]

this was great

[@TalkativeDomo]

wow, the voice of the narrator + the music, it made it all so very touching. good work

[@carolg413]

Thanks for a wonderful work.

[@Creophagous]

Happiness in life counts for more. Especially, being happy with the choices you make in life.😇

[@kendall9363]

The contraption was very intricate how it displayed valued memories of Jon hurt through models and very complicated mechanisms. I loved it:-)

[@p_eabean]

My memories won't be able to power shit hahahaa... :(

[@willsarkarpongase1510]

hahaha this burst me into laughter

[@SCARHEADS]

Encore! Encore! Very nice indeed.

[@Uyhn26]

This video will be one of my most precious memories of KZbin.

[@margam_illustration]

I would absolutely love to watch a full movie like this, even though the most important things are already touched upon in the short :)

[@ProducerGedalia]

Carlos the writer is a genius! Make this into a movie

[@gruffcube]

I watched this at school a few years back.

[@graythesimp1628]

Same I came back for the nostalgia

[@tomitstube]

the gold is a literal metaphor for money and fame, and how it corrupts people. amazing graphics.

[@catgoesmewow7389]

THAT WAS AN AMAZING SHORT ANIMATED FILM! I hope it could become a movie some day :)

[@ismaelvillamarcedeno9148]

This makes us reflect that we should not exchange our family for anything else, like gold, because family is the best treasure that God has given us in this life.

[@sharonolsen6579]

Beautiful story.. ! The creativity and artistic execution of the animation is beyond stunning !! An amazing work of art. To all those involved in creating this film... I commend your brilliant effort.

[@sidchillingwitholdies5520]

I used to watch it everyday once there is an aroma of adventure love romance and hatred on one single stage

[@marthagillespie14]

Such a wonderful story and the graphics are gorgeous. This movie is perfection in everything.

[@rhithwikguvelines6897]

only respect for the creators and mainly the animators who put a lot of effort trying to make it

[@nikisadlowska2224]

Its so amazing!! Its got a True message that gold is not worth more than love!! PLEASE this shud be a real long movie!!!!

[@snjezanagrbavac7661]

I have seen the film for the first time, i love it. The point is the most precious memories give the best gold. Our memories and our experience make us who we are, even the bad ones.

[@jamiepatterson1214]

Simply charming, with lots of truth.

[@vvwakamiya7818]

This should be a movie!!!

[@asmapatel234]

I keep coming back here whenever I'm upset 😪....this is truly an amazing work. Thank you all the creators 👍🏼💓❤

[@DrachenGothik666]

This was a *gorgeous* little short... RIP John Hurt.

[@kraziMuzique]

John Hurt!! i would recognize that voice anywhere!! Beeeeeautiful animation it's so perfect i want to cry~

[@tlRahul]

Beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful beyond

[@TrangNguyen-pz3fo]

this is one of the most beautiful animation i have ever seen for 23 years.

[@lh776]

This one hit my heart.

[@jacktrudeau8325]

That was the best short film iv'e ever watched.

[@adiwindardi4369]

i was watching these video first on 9gag, and watching it again, i never regret it, because how much detail it put onto this animation... beatiful... i dont had many word to say...

[@nuriyaadam8135]

ugh, what is this? it is beautifully made, I loved it very much. If only it was longer

[@Xmariposa61]

Short film with a powerful message! Just magnificent!!!

[@vampy1985]

Magnificent and touching. I've cried at the end...

[@palewithemotion4488]

This animation was absolutely exquisite

[@morash2190]

That was a very beautiful story..

[@khyahhardnett2874]

This should be a movie

[@MusicIsMyName96]

This needs to be a movie! Like right now! I wish my daddy was more like this though. He's made many mistakes, but never has he passionately expressed his feelings about them like this. As a matter of fact, he says one thing and does another. But I still love him, he's still my daddy in the end.

[@SolomonEdia]

wow , i am blown away by the voice and the sound and the animation, such a great work

[@marcelinaazzuro2432]

This is unbelievably beautiful

[@naotocchi]

I love the dubbing in this video, it's just beautiful. The old sounding voice reminds me about Merlin. "In a land of myth, and a time of magic"...

[@freshbrewedasmr3378]

The girl's voice is so good! I could listen to her for hours

[@GaminHawks]

Beautiful! Will definitely put on my blog this week!

[@dturner1481]

What 's more previous then gold , the one 's you love . The father realize that and made the right choice .

[@BrandonZach]

Still feel this to my core…

[@clabssososco4110]

Our time is precious as gold

[@Benjackalope]

I love this message, spread the word people!

[@isaacschneller7504]

That was simply extraordinary.

[@salvinsam]

It reminds me of a Patek Philippe watch commercial. And so far, the best short animation video I've ever seen. Brilliant!

[@thecoldshouldernose4113]

All the teams that work to make these beautiful short animations could all work together to make a series of cartoons movies and tv shows

[@eraddication]

This was soooo beautiful that Sir John Hurt voiced the alchemist... R. I. P. Sir John Hurt...
