[@semelatifofalism5833]

Fangle Animatronic you dont have the rights to talk like that, stop motion animation takes a long time to make, most films like these are shot on 24 FPS, i said most, so they need to take 24 pictures to make one second, to make one minute it takes 2400 pictures. and its not only the animation that takes long, the sets too and the figures, they had to make their own figure, they have to make their own sets, like at the water thing that is complicated because how are you gonna animate water, i know that the water isnt real but it is soo good looking. Everyone wants a part two even i do but you have all that wasted time they have to keep making other stuff it cant be the same everytime.

two friends bonded by love...really so emotional

[@michaelsexton7956]

WTH!! This should come with a warning/disclaimer. This wrecked me.

[@timware1478]

Michael Sexton Totally agree on a disclaimer/content note. Traumatic experience for some people 😢

[@AmitGarnaik]

@@timware1478 actually dude. I'm just..... No words

[@bjjackson7895]

Yep, we all have been

[@autumnthepumpkinwolf]

Yea the only warnings I got were from reading the comments

[@jessicagough4541]

legit just had to console my brother for two hours because he was sobbing as this was put onto youtube kids.

[@puggyplayer1848]

As a person who never EVER lets their stuffed animals go that is one of the worst things that could ever happen I'm eternally screaming

[@danceballetacro]

please

[@razwangazi]

awwwww....

[@humanoats2631]

It's so nice to see a stop-motion done so well you forget it's animated. Allowing the story to take center stage while being backed by the incredible cinematography and unbelievable animation. Amazing work, Congrats on the Webby, it was more than deserved.

[@visalakshik.raman.6278]

True love lays no conditions. Neither an 'if'..... nor a 'but'! They both try to keep each other from getting completely destroyed. He has managed to save her. Now she too will resurrect him. Happy days of togetherness!!!

There is no greater love than this-that a man should lay down his life for his friends.

[@Commander_Cat]

GIRL What you doing standing at the edge of the water like that when you know you just a ball of fluff?!

[@camilagrijalva4109]

Wishing their love would last forever ^'-^

[@onemanarmyoma0155]

Wish granted

[@gem.dahlia]

Oh my days how funny LOL!

[@KRAMPUS_yay]

The fluff in her is pulling her down in the water That's why she was going up and down

[@syroeco]

She LOST someone important and from that loss, she FOUND a new purpose.

[@camilagrijalva4109]

… Yeah I'm calling bull- she literally is stiching him back together, giving up the same time & sacrifice the dino did for her.

[@AriaHiggins222]

@@camilagrijalva4109 calm down.

[@razwangazi]

fine one

[@cockeyedoptimista]

No I just think it's still sad. But eventually she'll either bring him back or give up and carry on. Or will she sit there til she finally does die? But why did he save her then? He wanted her to live.. But she doesn't want to live without him. It's a beautiful story.. True love never really dies, though..

[@cockeyedoptimista]

@@camilagrijalva4109 It's not a tit-for-tat thing, they love each other.

[@christianeduardo1]

This is extremely sad and I wasn't prepared for it.

OMG I have never experienced so many emotions in under 7 minutes. PLEASE tell me the dinosaur will live!!!

[@Hyper76400]

check their insta @lostandfoundshort

[@Neelana]

She will put him back together! I am sure of that! ❤

[@fez877]

@5:07, the broken 2 piece sticks is on the left side. Pretty sure that image is taken after the Dino was patched back. I may be wrong.

[@bonebrothyt]

This is such an amazing short. In just over 7 minutes it managed to tell a more compelling story about love and self sacrifice, as well as the aftermath of that sacrifice, than most film makers can with multi-million dollar feature films. Also I disagree with people asking for a second episode. Not all stories have to have a happy ending. The fox broke the chopstick holding the door open so that the Dinosaur would stop destroying themselves in an effort to be a hero. In the end, the Dinosaurs need to save the Fox is just too strong, and they're willing to sacrifice everything to save them. I think that the Dinosaur coming back would undercut the power of that sacrifice. This is just my opinion of course.

[@dissonantdreams]

This. You hit the nail on the head. The ending is heartbreaking, but unfortunately happy endings don’t always happen in life, so they shouldn’t always happen in art either. A sequel where the dinosaur comes back to life would undermine the emotional impact of the original, IMO.

[@cockeyedoptimista]

I agree with you! It was more effective without the Hollywood ending. Anyhow, it's left slightly up in the air.. I just want to say, though: can't they just be a he and a she? "They.." Good grief. Oh well whatever.

[@jensonier]

@@cockeyedoptimista I think...YOUR WRONG! Everyone deserves love and happiness so I do think there should be a second episode where the Dino comes back and they love each other once again.

[@cockeyedoptimista]

@@jensonier Of course everyone deserves it. But life does not always work that way. Bad things happen.

[@tine174]

​@@jensonierOnly the little fox spent all his time and energy to get the little dinosaur back to his side, which is equally touching, presents a longer story, and travels across mountains and rivers.

[@Missbubbles_]

That was the most sweetest animation I put a tear in my eye 😢 it’s amazing how they were helping each other.

[@americalira9374]

I've seen it four times and each time it cried and I find it more and more beautiful and with incredible details in the animation

[@shortoftheweek]

It really is something isn't it? How can you not get emotional?!

[@neyhaartistry]

I have never wept so much in my life - this is pure genius and has won the Oscar a in my eyes already ! Such an emotive production . No words needed ... all feelings

[@ddebenedictis]

Come on, they are just toys (sniffles) I mean it, they're not real! (sobs like a baby) Dammit!

[@njdjninja]

OMG! That made me cry and I'm 60 yrs old! That was so heartwarming.. Thank you for that.

[@rebeldiamondz]

I love everything about this, the story, the stop motion, how it was filmed and edited. Amazing in every way.

[@RAJOHN-ke7mc]

This was so touching. Over 10 years ago, I started a horse amigurumi purse for my daughter. this short has pushed me to finish it for her 21st day on Aug 14th.

[@Lina-tk9tq]

Wow.... so much hidden talent in this world!!... Thank you!

[@StopMotionCooking]

This video is very touching

[@ahellomonkey]

Originally I came here because of HAEWON, now I hope the little fox can save his good friend back 🥲

[@crucesfernanda95]

This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

[@ddebenedictis]

That is my thought too, and I was very surprised it got passed over for final nomination.

[@arandomshark2667]

This demolished my heart Not cool man From the thumbnail I thought this would be heartwarming No this was heartwrenching How dare you gimmie feels!!

[@noelhutchins7366]

The flying head scene was heart-rending; but, the end-scene, I was thinking, 'the fox wishes it knew how to knit'.

[@myfairlahey5738]

so much for dumb like a fox

[@ddebenedictis]

Yes, the "flying head scene" is where I go from sniffles to sobbing like a baby! The way they include cutaways to visions of their prior relationship is powerful.

[@Jessica-bt2jp]

This is so beautiful. I am a grown woman, I have an 11 year old, and my heart is in pieces after seeing this. Fantastic work!!!
