[@kishengounden1891]

Love your animated short film.

Bruh. The pacing of this short film is incredible. Truly exceeded expectations, I'll log the movie onto letterboxd when I get the chance. You truly have a sense for cinematography. I thought I was a solid indie film maker, but this is really good. Honestly my expectations weren't that high, but this is on the level of a Hollywood production. You are going places my dude. Can't wait to see more.

[@flairstudiosofficial]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the film. And don't worry, I've already added Pal to Letterboxd! 🌟 Pal on Letterboxd: boxd.it/PIi0

[@flairstudiosofficial]

Thank you so much!! 🥺🌟

[@xamder1812]

Love every second of it. Thank you! This film truly shows how wonderful dogs are. How their friendship, love and loyalty is medicine to our soul. ❤

[@perrinemunoz9884]

I’ve seen a lot (and I mean a LOT) of animated short films but yours is clearly one of the best in my list! The colors, the backgrounds, the feelings… Thank you for this :)

[@flairstudiosofficial]

Ahh thank you so much! This means a lot! 😭❤️

[@pjakobsson126]

This is such a beautiful animation, you have encapsulated so much LOVE between the man and the dog, with fairly simple lines, the choice of vibrant colours, the use of light and shading, everything is really perfect in my estimation, concluding with the hand written quote to make a perfect ending. It's fabulous.

[@julieroberts7097]

Sobbing right now. My dog is 13 and has hip issues. He is my best friend ever and dogs go too soon. He, and my daughter, have shown me the meaning of true love.

[@ACoolGuyCalledMo]

Wait, someone explain what happened to the mother dog?😢

[@tall-state9]

Amaxing short film man 🎉 Loved the storyline and animation 🙌🙌 Keep up the excellent work bro 🗿🎀

[@flairstudiosofficial]

Thank you so much! 🌟

[@michelefritchie6198]

Well done! Story and emotions clearly shown through image and sound. No words necessary. Only five years? Poor Pal! I'm a cat lover, and the quote at the end can be true with a cat as well. Or other pet. I had 19 years with my last cat.

[@Sharon-is8bk]

Amazing ISAAC so proud of you ❤well done 🎉

[@dylankrause3210]

Man that got me. My little doggo is sitting here now wondering why I am tearing up. But this hit hard. Because I too used to have a dog that meant the universe to me when I was a kid. He died at 6 and a half of cancer. So I only got to enjoy a short time with him. I have two dogs now. And they are happy and healthy and are always right there by my husband and my side

[@lucasmaistry8832]

Wow truly amazing. Congratulations

[@flairstudiosofficial]

Thank you so much!
