Cold Lunch | Animated Short Film 2022

[@GOTHIBORZOI]

I wouldn't have eaten it because I'd be afraid of hurting the little dragon, and when I went home to tell my parents why I didn't eat they would think I was crazy

[@buildertherobloxian4731]

More can be Made.

[@PERRYTHEPLATYPUS703]

Same tbh 😂

[@christianjurgen9195]

Same no way I’m hurting a dragon Edit:wow I forgot about this comment.

I would keep it as a pet I wouldn’t eat it too.

[@buildertherobloxian4731]

Again, More of these Noodles can be Made.

[@mightyknight006]

I love the food is a metaphor of her culture and how she doesnt want to reveal what it is because they think they wont like it and there for her culture. I also like how its in a childs perspective, sence a flying noodle dragon would be something I feel like a child would think of.

[@drippycity4135]

It doesn’t have to be a metaphor - it’s a relatively common experience for immigrant kids to face weird looks and mean comments because of what they eat at lunch 😔

[@mrsnayarlhats4242]

I like Asian food I think with the veggies and noodles and some meats I think it's a good balance meal with veggies giving health benefits along with meats and noodles

[@Mokiefraggle]

@@drippycity4135 This. I got so much hassle for bringing simple things like rice balls in my lunch as a little kid when all I wanted was to get to use the fun molds for them that my parents let me pick out when we visited Japan...I can only imagine what bringing anything more than that.

[@thegreats5172]

@@drippycity4135is it also a common experience for your food to turn into the main creature of the culture your in or???😂

[@drippycity4135]

@@thegreats5172 no, I’m saying the food itself is not representing her fear of sharing her culture - the dragon is an entirely separate metaphor

[@rowan404]

When I was in elementary school, I had a crush on a Korean girl, and that caused me to develop a positive association with the scent of Korean food.

I was fine until the knowing sacrifice that teared me up.

[@Septic-Hearts]

I remember in middle school being so jealous of the kids who had homemade lunches because they always looked so good while the sandwiches I had to bring from home were boring and every other kid who brought sandwiches smelled like white bleached bread. Really wish I could've had more friends that'd share their lunch with me.

[@fungustheclown666]

Me too lmao. Like hell yes I'd love the actual flavorful good food over a peanut butter and jelly any day.

That actually happened to my Sister, when I wasn't Born yet. The Teacher thought her Mom was feeding her Rotton Food but it wasn't.

[@SaintSaint]

Wow. I'm so sorry. That's... insane.

[@SpammingY]

The girl: Tries to hide the food The food: "HMM MAYBE I SHOULD TURN IN TO A DRAGON"

If I saw it moving and looking like a dragon, I ain't eating that food, I'd make it my pet

I think Nari did the right thing. Violet and June are her friends after all.

this is so sweet!! appreciating other cultures foods and being proud of your own is such an important thing to learn. this has a great message!! also, japchae is so good…

[@H4ZYKA]

Japchae dragon 😭 I love this sm

[@feistsorcerer2251]

The animation for this is adorable. Its sad to me and way too real that she feels the need to be afraid of how people will react to her food. I'm really happy her peers were supportive in this, and hope its getting to be that way for people irl. I hope bullying over cultural foods is less of a thing now than when I was in school. One of the most common forms of bullying was people making fun of any food that wasn't associated with middle or upper class white culture. If it was ethnic food of any kind the bullying would always veer into racism and the teachers of course only cared if the bullies got their little feelings hurt, not about the damage they were doing to their victims.

[@gwenmloveskpopandmore]

Exactly bruh it’s stopped everywhere now except small rural country areas

[@rowan404]

This is *severely* underrated!

[@ruby_yuzuki9025]

THIS HIT ME SO HARD. I used to be embarrassed of my lunch as a kid especially since everyone has like sandwiches, fruits and all. Some of my classmates complained on how 'smelly' my lunch is and it made me so upset that I don't even eat lunch at all. This film really brought me happiness, My younger self would've love this.

[@NikkiDeJonge]

This is so adorable, so cute..I wouldn't have wanted to eat the little dragon 🐲 What a creative "clip" great idea, great job 👏 :) ❤ absolutely love it, well done..this put a smile on my face..Thank you..

[@-yumefroots-8244]

When I was in elementary school, the idea of judging someone for having food from another country was so weird to me. Chances are, I wouldn't have even known the difference between Korean, Mexican, Western, or Indian food. To me, food was just food.

[@sconie4335]

YAAAAY Jin and Insun!! Japchae dragon is such a good friend ;-;

[@NikkiDeJonge]

Hey, can they make the dragon 🐲 in to a "stuffy" or a plush 🍜 noodle animal..he would be so cute. I'd "scoop" him up in a heart beat. Because he's unique..& I'd give him a little "tag" on him..that teaches/tells about "encoument"-that's how I'd make-and 🐲 Dragons are supposed to be lucky, they bring luck..🍀 😉 👍👍

There's people who hate asian food!? Here in mexico almost everyone loves asian food its really delicious

[@mikeyfox2299]

Aaaand dead. Hooray? 😭 If I was a kid I would have 100% cried. You gotta have a good disconnect between the metaphor and the fantasy creature. In Pixar's Bao: she eats the dumpling, but it's just a metaphor for her actual son. In this, the dragon is the noodles, or takes the form of the noodles or whatever, and other than seeing it go back to being noodles, there's no wink to the audience. Even if it's just imaginary for the girl, the young audience just sees noodles=dragon=eaten. Good message, cute animation, but that seriously gets brings it down from an A to a B- for me, especially since we have post credit art where you could have done a wink to the audience with the character, but you just show them eating the lifeless noodles instead. Something to improve on for sure 👍♥️
