*Okay hands down this is one of the best short films I've ever seen. The animation is definitely on point and reminds me a little bit of the older Disney, like Pocahontas and Mulan.

I think this looks AMAZING!! And omg that story is so sad! Lady I’ve loved this man but she can never touch him because that would kill him. So in the end she turns herself into a river in Spring and Summer so she can always be all around him. (That’s how I see it anyway.)

[@crimsonwriter4024]

The movie frozen is just about an ice princess that goes rogue because she is salty. I did not relate that movie to this at all. I interpreted lady ice as winter, as a season as a person. I'm assuming she fell in love with the man, and felt sorrow for killing his parents, and in because of that she became the biggest apology ever; a waterfall of tears. But that's just me XD I ADORED this animation, and was immediately enthralled. I'll forever ship the dude and lady ice 💟

[@argosa]

That's an interesting interpretation. I saw it as time for spring, so she melted and became lady spring instead

[@btsfangirl9202]

Crimson Writer ARMY?

[@BabsChannel]

I'm not a real Frozen fanatic, but even an infant could see Elsa was not _"salty."_ She lived in fear from her childhood into early adulthood of her unusual abilities that no one knew how to control. She didn't want to hurt people and became a recluse to protect herself and the people in the outside world.

Absolutely beautiful! Disney can't hire you because they can't afford you, you are super talented and very motivated, you are fluent in 2 languages and working on a third! My god your amazing!! I'm learning animation myself and aspire to do what you've done, make my own cartoons, and would love to work with you in the future. I'm quite a ways behind you, but I share your passion. I work full time at a slave wage job and have kids to support, I know I will succeed in the future. I really saddens me to hear you, with such talent are have such trouble with a career. You should really look into doing a full length movie and finding other animators to help with your film, use kickstarter to get funding.... You definitely have what it takes and that scare Disney, they are just another corporation that wants to have people with talent they can harness.... but you ware too many hats.... I wish you the very best!!!

[@sarahrivera2602]

Hey Liron :). I just wanted you to know that I saw the movie "Frozen" a couple of weeks ago and it made me think of you immediately and this video.
