CGI Animated Shorts : "Tuurngait" - by The Tuurngait Team | TheCGBros

Watch this fantastic CGI Animated short film by the talented Tuurngait Team! An Inuit child wanders away from his village, fascinated by a wild bird. His father follow his trail, determined to find him before he gets lost on the ice floe...
" We worked as a group of five students during one year and a half to create our graduation film, Tuurngait, at Supinfocom Arles, south of France. It was screened in more than 50 film festivals around the world during the past two years, earning 9 awards in the process. The film was created in stereoscopic 3D, and if you have 3D glasses, you can view it in "eye-popping threedee" here : kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZyzpGt7h794hNk "

Had to look it up but I suspected a reading of Inuit mythology. The bird figure represents an Ijiraq a form of shape shifter that leads children astray. The Bear figure is the Inikshuk of stone which can free the children by persuading the Ijirak to let them go. Mixed up in the mythology can be the idea that if a hunter strays too far North whilst hunting they can get caught between the land of the living and the dead, hence the falling through the ice into a sort of dreamland. So an excellent take on a native myth, very well crafted.

[@deepalmer3960]

Great story...message is loud and clear. Don't hurt other living things. The boy knew it was wrong, and the bird was teaching him a lesson. He'll never hurt an animal again!

[@qtino8777]

lol don't think that's the message

[@screamingweevil3410]

Pretty sure he still will eat meat though.. Unless there's a variety of wheat that thrives in subzero temperatures.

[@omaressam29594]

i think the message for kids , dads can turn into beasts to protect them from any danger , however that kid all his adventure from his own imagination bear and eagle , but the static thing he knew his father will protect him

[@allahkabandaibneadam9841]

The message is life without fathers is sooo fearful and dangerous ..

[@106bees]

Gayeee

[@mkivy]

I’ve always dreamed of being a bird...when I return I hope I am an eagle.... this is so well done...u r all fantastic… kudos to u all... but for now I am a lonely man missing his grown children. What magic I showed them and I was always there for my babies. Always!

[@quasimodothehunchback7245]

Mike Ivy wish you see them soon. When you become parents you miss kids a lot. They only understand you when they become parents too. :)

[@eDrIClImOAnCo]

On a cold and desolate land, Where ice shall form in solid grand. A child was sent to trail the white, In ground below of crystal sight. World between the fragment veil, To bear and glimpse the feathery wail. And close to doom, a bear then rose, Whose father made from love and trove.

[@RiotDuel_Wisdom_and_Eternity]

You came up with this on your own? Great summary of the story.

[@bunbunmochi2261]

Omygerd I love the poems you post on these short clips!

[@eDrIClImOAnCo]

Katherine Remzso thanks

[@donguyen5101]

Nice poerty work !

[@eDrIClImOAnCo]

Vy Do Thanks

[@shimronnetia]

the reflection on those ice rocks is just crazy realistic!!!

[@stealthleft4297]

Finally , a short movie ,, regarding/or mean watched all comments , where everybody seems to be happy,, with it .. even though for all , different reasons. ..amazing,!

[@ElmerFudd16]

Comparable to Pixar's work. Amazing!

[@kathleenarranaga3871]

I literally though it was Pixar's at first

[@deathlegionair]

This brought back memories of the times ive been to alaska and the first four years of my life when I lived up there, the scenery, the animals, the sounds, and the beautiful blend of humans machinery with nature

[@johncrucchiola5779]

Nice film,good old dad saves the day.Parents are the same all over the world

[@Guidopicho]

This short is simply amazing! Great animation and wonderful story. I love stories with no dialogue because everyone who watches them can interpret them in their own way. For me, the boy did not imagine anything at all. Both the Owl and the Bear are actual beings from the Spirit World, the Owl wanting to punish the boy for trying to hurt the little bird, and the Bear comes to the rescue, as he is after all an innocent child (could also be his fathers family spirit)... Just my interpretation. In the end the boy learns to respect animals and befriends the bird. Oh and to all the people asking if this is the boy from Ice Age, c'mon guys, there is no resemblance at all; ¿do you think Jackie Chan is the same guy from Crouching Tiger too? Besides, Ice Age is set... well, on the ICE AGE, these guys have modern technology.

[@olgaradzikh2552]

I agree. I don't think it was meant as a boy's imagination. This looks like a visualization of an adapted Inuit tale, and spirits are real in those tales.

[@Liz-lx2un]

Perhaps the young "baby" owl transforms into the large owl. And the bear comes from his statue to rescue him.

[@yayalv6345]

A father to the rescue of his son. So glad it all ended well. Lovely graphics, wonderful music.

[@StriderGIF]

I had a very different idea of Tuurngait in mind. Thanks Penumbra.

[@thatoneweirdgirlvlogchanne3647]

I believe the Penumbra games drew inspiration from Innuit myth.

[@andrewjxj5809]

Avery-Quinn Draper true

[@Baban1974]

A wonderful animation that has nothing to envy a Pixar production.

[@avecrux333]

Truly remarkable.....

[@SolarWindsRider]

The giant stone bear was really badass.

[@heybabymama]

the bear be like AYO BITCH YOU GET THROUGH ME FIRST

[@Raclettedu74]

Magnifique moment que j'ai partagé avec mes enfants! Rempli de poésie visuelle et auditive! Je fais passer autour de moi pour leur faire découvrir la beauté de ce court métrage. Merci à vous!

[@sahragorgas6484]

Bin watch shorts with my lil brother and in the middle of the short where the boy is in the cave he said "I've got a feeling; not a good one" Yes!!! I will get him to appreciate art of every form.

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Great short. Loved the character design, camera work, and animation. Very fluid overall.

[@Eeuh]

I have been watching soo many of these animation clips I'm always crying at the end or when a nice character does or something cute or loving...😭I could make an ocean plus a lake and I'm going to now watch a cite one and make a water fall down my face to make a bay.😭

[@richardreinert6477]

A more than worthy and highly imaginative work of art! Bravo!!!

[@freearte15]

Love the camera movement and the texture for the owl

[@LaurenMakai]

This is incredible . 🐻

[@FireHeart2829]

I KNEW there was more to that bird then what met the eye! she was really beautiful though

[@haiderkhadim3718]

very cute video,it reveals the top pure innocence of children.

[@gazedragon6399]

Very detailed and beautiful.

[@DirkWillrodtGaronenur]

Nice one. Very nice animation and I liked the little story.

[@snigdhasart5486]

Few scenes were extremely beautiful specially the reflected image of the running boy on the ice blocks,the color of snow n ice crystals! Lot of hard work. Loved it👍

[@heatherwanderer777]

Omg, I remember that stone carvings from when I lived in Alaska, my fiance of the time was an artist and tried to teach me. Its very hard if you've never done it before. He made a bear while I tried to make an otter. We ended up having to change it into a walrus cause I wasn't very good...but wow, that polar bear carving the dad was doing...brought it all back!

[@0505adi]

of the time.... I'm so sorry.

[@heatherwanderer777]

Ida Sanchez its ok, we parted because of differences, but its been 10 years+ now and I can look back on that time fondly and remember the fun things too. Like the carving, the salmon fishing, the walking on glaciers, the northern lights...so many good things

[@EvanBly]

All-around brilliant!

[@darknessb7333]

This deserves WAY more views. Best animation I have seen in a long time.

Merci mon Daniel , ma petite Emma qui vient de voir la vidéo a aimé, reste à le faire découvrir à petite Milie. Toute belle journée. Bisous.

[@pitomator]

I love the look of the ice, wonderful!

[@compositesquare]

If the father was a representation of a bear coming to the rescue of the child, then the bird was most likely a representation of a person trying to harm the father's child.

[@KevinHarper3DArtist]

Great Job guys, really nice.

[@JB-ig2wd]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!

[@SabirMixy91]

Wow. Nice animation. Based off Inuit Spirit Beast tales i'd reckon.

[@yoshiYoishIRL]

Very unique, the effects are really awesome

[@blipblipblur]

the art style on this is really good, well done team tuurngait

[@dhineshcameraman]

Nice one, child dreams and hopes

[@MS-mb7xj]

this would be a funny story to tell your parents. i get the idea of the story, don't hurt living things or others around you because they'll hurt you too or give you a lesson. but just imagine telling your dad like, 'I got lost and almost eaten by a bird! But it's okay because then a bear showed up and saved me!" Then your dad be like, "So what did you learn from this...imagination of yours?' Then you'd say with a serious face, "Don't follow majestic creatures no matter how pretty they are..." haha sorry but this was fantastic! really loved the idea

[@TheRytherrShow]

This is animated beautifully!

[@mosluminis2410]

i concur!!!

[@hirumamoki4989]

Bad ass bear dude!

[@LordJesus215]

Fantastic...

[@dianadiehl]

Excellent story telling. Love the world from the point of view of the little boy. Is this based on existing mythology, or did you create epic creatures of your own?

[@Landrew0]

I saw a great native short film a few years ago, can't remember where, but it about a native who lives somewhere in the North. He got a letter from the government saying to please come in to the nearest government office. No phone number or anything else. So he and his wife spend all day getting a vehicle going that they normally never use in winter, and drive all day to the nearest office. They walk in the door, and someone says "We just needed a signature. You didn't need to drive all the way here." It's obvious that someone who lives in such a remote area could never possibly know that. No wonder they think we're crazy. I can't believe the government can't put 2 and 2 together. Actually I can.

[@theresahall1591]

They couldn't just mail the thing that they needed signed and have them send it back?

[@jagdishprasad3645]

why do I always struggle to find moral of such awesome animated films...??😢

[@reecho7703]

[@Tomtommmmm]

Bravo les français !

[@Killakee111]

That was real cool!! Sweet

[@nyspace1]

wonderful job

[@idayou]

In my concept, the bird is like the drugs or some entertaining stuffs that drag young kids away. And the stone bear represents the love from the father(family), and finally saves the kid from misdirected way or dangerous situation.

[@muhammadsiddique596]

Yes you are right

[@blumsky]

Good idea - good result!

[@roberthfrank8901]
