I’ve seen bad voice acting and recording ruin good animations before and this was the exact opposite! Wonderful animation, wonderful voice acting, wonderful storytelling and just all around beautiful art!

[@izbybun]

Thank you so much! Everyone who helped put together the sound did an amazing job- I think the visuals would have had much less impact without the powerful soundtrack created by the voice actors, composer, and sound designer I worked with. ❤️ Thank you so much for liking my film 😭

[@ALIENIGHTMARE]

I wonder if i ruin my animations aith my stupid voice or it fits well. Can anyone give me some advice on what am i doing wrong? 😢 I'm not getting views, I don't know. Maybe the art, or bad editing, or something else is disappointing viewers. Some people likes it but they are not talking about it much.

[@mochamochee]

The comments are a few minutes apart, I think the algorithm is picking up. I really hope so, this animation is spectacular! I really love the watercolour background, the sound design also made it really immersive and the storytelling is good too😮😮 I would love to know more!😁

[@cooliostarstache6992]

can confirm! I’m here :]]

[@SoftFryMildlyOverSalted]

Um hello this is incredible where are the 10k other people who need to see this, criminally underviewed channel moment this is GORGEOUS!

[@FunnyNFunky]

youtube unfortunately dosent promote animators unless its some kind of meme

[@elizabethmonroe2290]

The transition when Lina goes through the door portal thing was so amazing! It happened so fast and literally before i knew it she was somewhere else. It was the best portal sequence ive seen, even among professionally made shows, animated or otherwise

[@mako3951]

I have ptsd that heavily affects my dreams. this feels personal to me. The technical skill displayed in this animation is also extremely impressive. Everything about this is beautiful

[@izbybun]

Thank you for your comment. I’m glad my work spoke to you in some way. ♥ When I was originally coming up with the concept for this film, I was thinking a lot about how we can be changed by our dreams. They can feel just as real and impactful as physical reality, or more. I’ve had many a dream that have permanently altered the way I look at the world or that I think about for months afterwards. I wish you the sweetest dreams this an every evening.

[@iwanttosleeptm6384]

this is like on of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. This just doesn´t have enough views imo

[@izbybun]

[@pencilstreak9]

I hope this isn't too weird or specific to say, but this reminded me a lot of 2010-tumblr when people would use their blogs to make comics - something about the art style and dreamlike quality really took me back there, and I appreciated it. :)

[@desu38]

that'll do, algorithm... that'll do :)

[@olettebobow]

HECK YEAH!!

[@ineedumonstataclobbadatder4499]

This is absolutely mesmerizing and gorgeous. The art style is so... soft, ambiguous, and warm. It perfectly captures the surreal, beautiful, yet untamed dream state.

[@adroonaz]

[@starspiritthedutchangeldra8140]

I really love how surreal this animation is, from the coloring to the sound effects, the dialogue, it all contains the energy of a vivid dream and I enjoy coming back to watch this animation over and over again- It's all so marvelous

Lovely film. Quite grateful that I've had the fortune of seeing it. Thank you to all that made this film and me seeing it possible, I'm quite happy you all exist.

[@ragcat3732]

This is amazing! The animation is beautiful especially the way you animate liquids and perspective!

[@izbybun]

Thank you so much 😭

[@NasikaSakura]

@@izbybun Yes! I was really impressed with the dynamic angles in movement, and the liquid's movement and how it effected the reflection in the tea cup.

[@olettebobow]

This reminds me that I have a similar concept but of a girl to whom a star gives her a sanctuary as a gift and the only way to get there is each time she sleeps, in other words, her dreams! Honestly, this inspires me to follow that concept. I've had it for a year!

[@gentlescrubswoosh]

[@valdesmartinez]

[@sonatinebestsongever]

pretty

[@scribbleshrimp]

Lovely

[@ravenpotter3]

👏👏

[@PROWL.Q]

LETS GGGOOOOOOO IZZYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[@izbybun]

THANK YOU NICKKKK HIIIIIII

[@ALIENIGHTMARE]

Very cute characters. But I miss the story. I want to know what happened and I want to see the ending whenever it is good or bad ending.

[@NasikaSakura]

Do you think you'll ever do a continuation of this story?

[@InkAnimates]

Are they rabbits because rabbits are associated with faries? Also, did she loose her wings?

[@izbybun]

A little bit!! My mom calls me bunny, so that was my main reasoning. The fairy motif mostly comes from the poem I was inspired by, but I think it also just fit the vibe. How she lost her wings/if she ever had them in the first place is definitely open ended… 🐰

[@hubbawah]

Uh...what just happened? It's really pretty and I like the mix of colors but, I don't get it?

[@waffle8946]

I think it’s based on a poem! :) You can find what it is in the description
