The part when the camera zooms away from the wife is an amazing yet subtle touch to how the two were slowly becoming farther apart, and the moments when the two were close were really heartwarming, yet the parts where they were far away had a more melancholic tone. It just adds to the subtle brilliance of the delivery of the main message of being close to loved ones.

[@tritesir9462]

Oh hey, I just realized! Not only is the time spent in the rough waters of their marriage not wasted after they got through it, but even the experience they got working their jobs weren't to waste, either. The corgi worked his way to management positions as a barista, meaning he has a good grasp of customer service and how to handle people, especially in a bakery-like setting. The calico worked as an assistant in an ad agency, and was presumably good at it and got promoted, so she knows how to advertise and spread branding really well. Both skills are needed to run a successful store that'll stay open for a while, and they have over six years of experience as opposed to _probably_ winging it with the bakery at the beginning, and _possibly_ failing anyway. The rough patch not only was needed for them to realize what they mean to each other and their dreams together, but also how to keep those dreams steady and afloat. Feel like many people have realized this sooner, especially if it was intentional, but I didn't see much in the comments, so

This is what marriage is.

There are times you can't wait to be together and times you wish you could just go your own way. You fall into and out of love over and over again. And if you just stick with it, before you know it, you're in your 70's and can look back at all you've shared and endured. We celebrate our 50th anniversary soon. And I'm so glad we stuck it out.

Bro, even through these 6 years, this animated film has more life than I have... Thank you so much! I can't even take my tears on))) again...

[@RajvirSingh-jx2mb]

It's a really cute story. Makes me realise how most of people as a couple just lose connection with each other. Miss each other from the inside unknowingly. They keep on working to get money and have things which doesn't bring that much happiness. Instead we need a balance to in both work and personal lives. Work life gives up financial stability and personal life with each other gives up mental peace, relaxation, tiredness that we face in our day to day work life 🌸

[@kkdraws9052]

The house getting bigger represented the distance growing between them. And the cake topper represented their bond breaking, and when the cat destroyed the house it represented her breaking the barrier between the two of them.I think this is right

[@syzygy5996]

I think the video is about how people who use to have their own dreams get distracted by society's expectations -- superficial things, a bigger house, a stable desk job etc P.s. That crying scene really got to me, the realization that 6 years are wasted just like that, blindly following what society expects us to do, becoming the same as everyone else. I did have a part of my life where I was dwelling in that phase

Lemon Wedge sometimes people want a mediocre life. It sounds weird- but I’m sure many people dream about having a big family and living peacefully. Others, like the main characters, have big dreams. I think anything can be accomplished- as long as you work. And sometimes, you have to balance your dreams with reality too.

[@joshuacua9322]

I absolutely am in love. Not just with the characters and the style, but also with the sheer thought and effort that went into conveying everything without needing words. My favorite scene was when the dog says "You just don't get it. I can't...do this anymore." Sure, it didn't save budget by condensing that minute long sequencing with only music and animation playing into a short ten second yelling speech, but boy, was it effective. I understood through that single sentence what he was going through and, with the cat's reaction, what that meant for her, too. Another one of my favorite parts of this entire animation is how, originally, the cat was the one who usually stayed next to the window, and the dog was beside her. After they got some renovations to the house, the dog began to be the one sitting next to the light, and the cat began straying into the darkness, showing how he was shown to her dream and now he's the one who's beginning to adopt it, but now she's the one receding back, forgetting it all. It hit even harder when she...hit the wall even harder and tore that hole through. She could've been the one to rush to the dog instead of the dog rushing to her, because either way they would've been in the light, but the dog was the one to rush to her, to be with her in that newly opened light...Because all in all, just gazing through that window of possibility is just that--gazing. But now, through their own fair share of trials and tribulations that they both stuck through with the help of each other, they're done with just looking and now they both finally have the strength, with each other, to work with their own power to obtain their dreams of being together.

Это очень хороший пример того, что не нужно забывать про свои мечты. Мы учимся в школе, заканчивает институт, начинаем работать ещё помня о своей мечте, но потом это затягивает как болото, ты откадываешь на потом, позже становиться рутиной и наконец появляется семья, и тебе уже кажется, что сейчас не подходящий момент, то сложная работа, то командировка, то ребенок маленький. А жизнь идёт, она проходит, а ты так и не реализуетэшь ни одной своей мечты. Для меня этот фильм стал пробуждением, ведь именно это я сейчас и делаю, мне так жаль.

The amount of detail put into this piece really shows. The richer they got, the colder the environment became. All of the colors are dull and lifeless. Even just having the glass dolls break, the subtle messages are sooo good. Really shows how money just does not buy happiness. Sure it can bring comfort but it's not worth sacrificing so much of what you love for it. This is just so well made. one of my all time fav animations for sure, just wonderful work

[@songs-.]

Notice how everything was vibrant then got dull. Also they could of kept the house and just started baking again they didn’t need to destroy it-
