You got what you wanted, but you lost what you had.

[@i_draw_whatever1677]

Not really the eye didn’t fit

[@Yuekitty]

And not to mention that she didn’t get what she wanted anyways.

[@jkt102]

Not about this film but I really got goosebumps for some reason

[@Okalynn]

THE PRINCESS AND THE ROG?

[@dayschange2]

But she didn't get what she wanted. She was so distracted by the possibility she threw away what she had on something that she would have known was wrong if she'd taken the time to look it over more carefully. That poor pup. T_T

[@MillyKKitty]

How ironic that the green broken marble she deemed unfitting was exactly what the troll toy wanted. If only she had seen the beauty in those broken, then she would have never lost them.

[@Doodlebob108]

See, I'm the type of person who would buy the doll with a missing eye. She wouldn't have stayed on the shelf long if I'd have seen her. I love dolls with oddities. Gives them a sense of personality.

[@synsvids]

I'd either keep a doll with a missing eye as is, or try and make a new one that has a fantastical color

[@GlitchyNitro]

hell yeah, we love abnormal/imperfect dolls in this household

[@SkrunklySkrunkleton]

That’s the thing me and my mom always did. We always would pick the doll or toy that is damaged or a little weird, because we knew people would probably not get the broken or different doll/toy. To me it makes the toy all the more special. Plus we got a discount!

[@foodieyumiko5593]

Wow. You guys sound so cool🤩

[@sahaafa9082]

Same

[@acegalexy6426]

Love this because it's the best representation of life. You can't have everything you want without sacrifice, and this just cuts so deep. A wonderful animation.

[@Kairii-Kylie]

She already sacrificed a lot before she traded the dog for an eye

[@quincyjones5676]

Idk that’s not true. I have gotten what I wanted and sacrificed nothing just worked hard and saved to get it. Didn’t lose anything but gained a lot.

[@TheArtisticAxolotl]

The green glass ball was the thing she needed all along, but a missed opportunity is gone forever sometimes.

[@danitho]

But it wasn't. The eye was never going to fit... Maybe she should have accepted her imperfection.

[@threeducksinatrenchcoat]

I think she worried about being “fixed” more than helping. With her eye and the sticker on her box she focuses on making everything “perfect” again, and when she fixes toys, she finds things that match them (like the penguin’s eye) to make them look “fixed”. It’s why she rejected the cracked marble. It was damaged and wasn’t the same as her other eye, so it wouldn’t make her “fixed”. A good representation of how humans try to hard to be “perfect” when in reality the damaged parts give character and personality that someone “fixed” and “healed” can’t possibly have.

[@Ivy2Wang]

Moral of the story: always see if the thing fits before you buy it

[@foodieyumiko5593]

Finally a comment that's not super deep. Just hilarious and straight to the point.

[@valiere2230]

This had such a beautiful message. I love what this sort is about. Some people never realize the importance of something until it’s gone.

[@akari5145]

She was meant for a wonderful cause like her other doll friends. But what she was designed for she never got to experience. Her heart and mind was attached to one motif, the sticker that said, “To be fixed.” It was her destiny, she reasoned, above all else. Meanwhile, on her quest to find something to better herself she finds a little companion. But even then, she didn’t think long and hard over what was truly valuable in life. The green marble that was cracked, she didn’t see the value in that either. Because in her mind and experience, all things broken are worthless. Whereas the scrap dealer and the eye collector knew better- in fact they even treated the cracked green marble as money! (Kind of like torn paper currency.) It wasn’t an eye that she was missing; She was missing a heart. And so, she learned a hard lesson, and it will eventually hit her that her life was made to have many sorts of friends, great and small.

[@ezikod3566]

yeah!

[@merlinisland8133]

Oh my gosh, this is probably the best short I've ever seen. Extremely poignant, and it doesn't fix the problem right away, but forces the protagonist to live with a bad decision.

[@niKute201101]

Such a sad story~ love the character design and the bg layouts

[@Firegen1]

Yes please.

[@LIlyMason-yf2ew]

I find it crazy to think that, as a child, I would love a broken doll like that! I would think it’s the prettiest thing, and it looks like time hasn’t changed a thing

[@franklinndudirim1057]

This is beautiful! I love how each character's voice is represented by a different musical instrument. Amazing concept, design, animation and sound design but a sad story.

[@AiLiang-hh2zg]

I really dig the idea of a post-apocalyptic Toy Story.

[@josepbuigues1336]

You better make a sequel to this video because I thought it was beautiful and I thought the ending was sad. I like a video with a good resolve.

[@hollyaura2499]

We need a sequel. In fact, we need a series. I gotta know how their world got like this in the first place.

1:20 when she's sewing the penguins other eye on, on the table on the same side where the still intact eye is, theres a drawing of a eye, and on the opposite side theres an x carved into the wood too

[@proanimali]

It's so sad. It shows that nothing and nobody is perfect. We should live with our imperfection and not give up on who we love. Thank you for sharing this film.

[@_redvixen4]

Honestly, would love to get the doll with the missing eye. The crack kinda looks like a cool scar

[@eelwithheels]

Ayo??? I wanna see the concept art for this it's so cute

[@theBigA1992]

I actually have an idea for a graphic novel series based on the concept of this short.

That would be copyright infringement and just rude.

u have to ask them it was their idea

An idea/concept cannot be copyrighted. OP could use the same exact concept. They cannot use the same exact story or characters from the short.

I understand the lesson learned behind this short but watching this really broke my heart 💔

Or how about one where the dog finds a better owner who won't just trade it away for their own desires?

[@akari5145]

@@AdmiralJota Yea, and then she finds him with that better owner. And hopefully she’ll be content that her dog is at least safe. As for her, she can keep fixing other toys so that they too might get a chance in life.

[@dorkworksrandomvideos6776]

Yes, I would also love a sequel.

[@gentlechaos8564]

(ToT) why did it end like that! I guess it helps the message stick. I hope the doggie was traded to an owner who will appreciate him more. Still, I guess she needed to learn to love herself before she could be in a place to give love. ❤

[@ItsTulipsToca]

She thought she had to be perfect to be loved so she tried fixing herself. Not realising she was already loved. That’s something I need to learn.

[@MsDisneylandlover]

I collect black dolls especially Tiana dolls. I just brought one of American girl doll. I have 3 historical black dolls. ❤

[@whimai412]

Awe so sad, but such an amazing story. And the animation and landscapes were so cool.

[@cartoonhyperfixated]

Dude the messages behind this is beautiful

[@jfess1911]

I was planning to go to bed, but now I need to find something to cheer me up.

[@danitho]

I'm almost afraid of the replies this will get but she's the only brown doll on the shelf. Maybe if the girl had been more careful when reaching for her, she wouldn't have ended up broken. And after she was broken, she was skipped over because of her imperfection and the promise was never fulfilled. That's a point I don't see a lot of people mentioning. So when she finally had a chance to be whole, like the other dolls, maybe filling the void of being passed over, she lost something important to her. It's a subtle parallel, don't know if it was intentional though.

[@user-bz2lz9um6z]

This... reminds me of myself. ?. Never being grateful and always regretting

PSA to try before you buy

So many good hints before the reveal. The drawing, the bg art, the way the dog led her around debris. And on that note, she lost her friend, but also her guide dog.

[@frijofroisdeern3783]

She did not lose it. She Betrayed its trust and Sold it off.

SO UNDERRATED

[@Wisepati]

This is so unsatisfying what happened to the dog? And why was that green round object so important?

[@JohnBayko]

The puppy knew what she was looking for and tried to help by giving her the closest thing he could find. She wanted the real thing so much she gave up the puppy who cared so much for her. She remembered that just before trying to put the eye in.
