[@easterneagle5]

My favorite detail about this is the change in her appearance at the end of the film. Having spent what seemed to her like months chasing Scales, she only realizes at the end of it all that it had in fact been years. Years during which her youth faded away, her hair began to go gray, and her body became worn and scarred in pursuit of her single minded goal - years she would never recover. A beautiful short film that communicates more in fifteen minutes than most fail to do over two hours.

Eloquent summary...

Why I have sensation of meaning of life ?

[@vroyen]

I cried a little how time robs us of our youth, loved ones our point of view.

@@vroyen i grow old, but the real heartbreak is watching my wife fade, and the prospect of losing her. this vid struck deeply.

[@Mangolorian-je3eo]

I wish I was a girl so I could do effortless flips and get knocked across the room with no injury when I'm old and grey. Seriously though, it was so well done.

[@TheHellmo]

I fucking remember watching this two years ago and I cried...I watched it again and still fucking cried...god damn it Sintel, why do you have to be so fucking sad

[@kidfluffy2163]

I didn't find this sad, really. I enjoyed the animation, though.

[@evetko]

That is one resourceful, resilient, and brave girl fighting off predators, killers, dragon, and escapes the cave when it collapses. I didn't know her dragon was a female. Absolutely stunning film in all sense of the word. She couldn't help herself as she has been fighting for self preservation for years and didn't know it was her dragon ... so glad to see she will make up for her mistake by taking care of the little one no doubt. She appears to be alone in the world and to find something that made it's way into her bed to hold her hand ... she learned what loving and losing something felt like. I just love dragon movies.

[@MidnightAphelion]

Wow. I did not see that ending coming. I was so sure it was going to be the formulaic story of "that's it's mother" and... wow.

I was completely wrapped up in this story. What an excellent tragedy--a morality play about the hubris of human assumptions and how the quest for revenge can blind us to what is important. Wonderful rendering of dragons and humans alike. This short built instant empathy and a desire to see more.

[@LeethLee1]

Glad you liked it man! I was one of the team working on it, and at the official channel where Sintel is also hosted we are close to or possibly past 3 million views now! Just amazing, and we're so happy our film can bring a nice 15 minutes of entertainment for ppl =) Cheers, Lee

[@buckeye21]

It was amazing, the sad part is I wonder if the young dragon falls into the same revenge trap and wastes their life hunting the person who killed their mother never knowing it was all a mistake.

[@nsncilove4517]

😭 she didn't know and he didn't know right away either OMG!! That was so sad it really did take me over 2 weeks to get over it the first time I kept on bringing it up they couldn't believe after 2 weeks I would still talk about how sad that cartoon was and now it popped up on my phone again and of course like a dumb ass I watched it again u know if I end up going through therapy and end up taking pills 4 depression I'm sending u the bill 😭 excellent job real excellent job I hope I see more of your work WTF if I can get through this one then I can handle any of the others u got well u could make some more that r just as sad but it would be real hard to make it any sadder then that real excellent job though 5 starts 4 that I can't believe they didn't make it award winning one 😭 u can expect to see in the next 2 weeks a bill from a therapist and for my pills I take now 4 depression 😭😭😭😭 that was so sad

[@DustinRodriguez1_0]

WOW! I can see why this is award-winning! Just the emotion on the dragons face alone was jaw-droppingly well done! It's very difficult to convey emotion on non-human and non-anthropomorphized characters, but you made it look easy!

[@silvarainbowsparkle]

just as minjabutt85 stated, this 14 minute movie does give you the feeling of having watched a two hour film.i couldn't stop the tears that started fighting their way towards the surface, as this short film neared its end and it still has this effect after one year of watching it. truly amazing and, in my opinion very unique. nothing has ever quite fascinated me so fast in such a short period of time

[@tylersimon2178]

Congrats on you and your team. Good story, good plot, great voice acting and great cgi. Bravo,seriously.

[@chachathefox6889]

I believe it's about accepting grief and moving on. But everyone will get their own meaning behind the story. That's what truly makes it a masterpiece. It's different for everyone because it's meant to be different for everyone. True art gives you the ability to create different stories within one piece on your own many times.

This is not a game, and it is not my law. It is only ambiguous because you don't see the bigger picture. How could you achieve clarity t of perception when you are attempting to understand something that has transcended duality from a subjective point of view ? The underlying Law of this verse is Love, even if it may seem evil rules our world, it is only an illusion; we are all living in an illusion. That is the way we were bred. To see the cage, is to leave it. And when you do, you will never come back.

[@Cootabux]

With such a sad and empty ending, it could have been so much more.

[@dianadiehl]

I didn't find Sintel to have an empty ending at all. It is full of pathos and lessons about the human tendency to blind obsession--to act before considering all the possibilities and to see situations as black and white. We do not see the redemption of our protagonist, that is true. But stories that are closer to life often render the truth of pain and loss and guilt.

Sad as it was, yet sintel can redeem herself with the baby

[@heikg]

Really, can she? She killed not only an old friend, but also the mother of the little dragon. No matter what she does it will never redeem her.

[@cameldriver7419]

would you like to hope she could...or would you condemn her without the possibility of any hope to redeem herself?? anyway not going to make further comment on this, story was great little animation

[@SpunkyDunk]

heikg It was an honest mistake on the hero's part. She was acting in self-defense against the dragon she believed stole her friend. You're acting like she murdered the dragon when she's actually innocent. Even so, what makes you think she can never redeem herself?

[@heikg]

I never said she can't. What I meant was that she can't redeem herself by caring for the baby.

[@joerosen3138]

Let's see. She's probably a thousand miles from home, or any sort of civilization for that matter. She aged throughout that journey. Life expectancy isn't up to today's standards. The terrain and environment she will endure is too harsh.

[@JohnMillerz3]

[@air-is-ay]

That was really emotional and ahhhh I loved it.

[@Isobethia]

In my opinion this short was trying to say "Though you fight to protect the ones you love, don't lose sight of why you fight for them to begin with". I believe that Sintel had originally started out with a mission to save a dear friend, but as time went on--though it was not displayed very clearly as there were only vague scenes of traveling, and how she lost her way (metaphorically speaking) was never explained--I think she may have begun to lose hope of ever finding Scales. She felt such a gentle sense of hopelessness that I believe she failed to realize how much time had passed since Scales was taken, and how much she had aged. As the old man said "Sintel had not failed her friend, she had only failed to see." If the video had been designed to be longer, I believe the writers would have had the time to actually explain how and when Sintel lost her way. Which I believe would have made this short ten times better than it is. Overall, I really did like the animation, even if there were a few weird kinks here and there.

[@comradecam9530]

I agree with you. I also think its a lesson in making quick judgements and assumptions without considering the potential consequences of our actions. Scales stopped and sniffed her like he had done when they first met, yet Sintel gave no thought to the dragon's pause and used the opportunity to kill it. The only downside to this film I think is it tries to cram an hours worth of potential material into 15 minutes for a short film, thus skimming over a lot of things. Regardless I loved it. :)

[@Bl00Buttons]

+Haise Sasaki What confuses me if that it had to take a smell to have the dragon recognize her... I mean, the difference between a baby dragon and a big dragon is ironically huge. But the only difference between young her and old her is almost nothing.

[@jake-dr2oh]

+Wizblizz You'd have to consider the time passing, the dragon has undergone a huge change in it's age it mightn't remember exactly. Like how people don't remember their mothers very well when they die at a young age.

Alright people, settle down. When scales was taken she went on her quest to search for him but when she arrives; still thinking scales is a baby, she strikes at the adult Dragon from whom she thought was from her memories who ended up being scales:the baby she was after. Looking back at herself, she noticed she has changed; many years have passed by in result she is old and decrepit. From her immense guilt and shock she strips from her weapon and walks as if to walk forever, the baby Dragon from before has nothing left and follows the woman. In the end the lesson is Don't get distracted so much that everything around you, you're oblivious to.

The fact that it's not saccharine, as we are so used to, was shocking but totally fit considering her life and experience up to that point, and how her hair changes at the end meant to me that it had been years - but she was still expecting to see her little sky-puppy and wasn't ready for him to be grown up.

How does this not have more views?? I've always loved this animation!

[@chesemons]

This deserves more views than it has

[@Eleven-Eyes]

Nice ending. While killing her friend by accident is understandable, DROPPING those DAMN apples and NOT picking them up is something I can not let go. May the baby dragon seek its vengeance for its mother's life.

Beautiful! That's all I can say! Just beautiful...

[@TheIHavenoclue]

I need like.. 2 more hours of this, I can't even.. This needs to be a full length movie.

[@Featheredhat]

Crying. Bawling like a baby. Died a little bit. But still wouldn't like a sequel, it's perfect as is, even if it destroys me like that...

That's what happens when supertalented animators and story writers work together

[@laynelair7537]

Excellent story line! Bravo!

[@yanderesann]

I never cry over animations, but even as I'm typing this I'm sobbing. This is truly amazing.

Life is sad enough without this. This may appeal to some but after feasting on grief and sorrow for much of my life I now seek an end without heartbreak.

I think it was the philosopher Jagger who said “You can’t always get what you want.”

[@wutntarnation]

@@The_Return_of_JoyBoy I think it was me who said "I don't go looking for what I dont need."

Excellent short film. Conveys so much in so little time.
