Siblings | Animated Short Film (ACCD Thesis)

Stuck at home during a rainy day, the oldest of two siblings provokes an argument that makes her face the circumstances of her own upbringing.
"Siblings" is a personal story that Kenet Garcia Rojas directed and developed during his last year at Art Center College of Design. With the production of this film he sharpened his directing skills, organized a production pipeline and learned to oversee a team of talented artists.

This perfectly shows what being abusive parents (either physical or mental) does to your kids. Whether to them (daughter clearly afraid of them finding out) or the fact it's clear they are yelling and arguing all the time. Kids pick up on this and become just like their parents but thankfully this one has a happy mending ending. Showing the daughter and son are 100x more mature then the parents for being able to forgive and be honest they messed up and ask for forgiveness.

[@KenetBear]

I think that it also means that even when nobody is on your side even your parents, all you have to rely on is your siblings.

[@nuyataylor4885]

She seemed afraid of her parents lashing out on them for “acting up”. She tried to get her brother away to avoid the parents seeing him cry but he was upset and was being stubborn. So she just stormed in the room and closed the door behind her. I feel like the parents make the children feel uneasy and like they’re walking on eggshells, trying not to rile them up even more. The girl was already irritated and she unintentionally took it out on the brother, making him upset in the process and also hurting him. He was in a good mood initially but she wanted to take his joy, not intentionally, but something about him and the fish got to her and she snatched the fish bowl for no apparent reason, killing the fish. It’s like the parents, their anger affects those around them. The brother didn’t deserve to feel her anger and now he’s upset because of it.

[@chloewalker214]

Being the older sibling when parents fight is hard. There is nobody to guide you or tell you what to do. You want to protect your siblings from the conflict or getting in trouble for acting up during a fight but they usually resist, because they are little and the only way they can express themselves is to cry or get angry. So being the oldest you get aggravated and storm off, but realize you are leaving your siblings alone with the conflict, just like how you always are. Siblings are strongest together, and can break through any cycle a family may be in. I'm still learning this but even just the thought helps

[@codeswift27]

This is too relatable. Since my older sister moved out, I've been trying to protect my little brother from my parents. But he's too young to understand and often stays and sides with them during fights, and whenever I try to get him out of punishments (aka my parents losing their temper and using him as a punching bag), he tries to stop me and *asks* to be "punished" thinking it's normal and okay when it's not. It frustrates me so much that I just stop trying to help, even though I know I can't really blame him

I have a little brother, and i always try to be my best towards him. I dont want us to have the same relationship i had with my older sisters. And, as humans do, i would slip up and cause him to cry. I was of course blamed every time, and was thinking he was the cause to my issues. But now I understand he is a toddler and treat him like he deserves to be treated. This film makes me cry. ❤❤❤

[@camiojeda1927]

When the parents were yelling at each other, not quite being able to hear exactly what they were saying made it more scary and relatable for me since it just leaves your brain to fill in the blanks with what you’re afraid they’re going to do. Although I’m glad they did not beat each other, when your parents are fighting, there is always the threat that they will. It causes you to either lash out at those you care about or keep it in since it is too painful to bring it up. In the story when the girl looks at a healthy mother & daughter relationship, I find myself doing it to certain friends whom seem to have a perfect relationship while mine is a bit messier once you look a little closer. Also, when the girl does not want to face her parent’s anger & instead chooses to watch TV is also very relatable since I do anything & everything to prevent me from listening to my parent’s argument. Thank you so much for this!

[@SnaxTheWolf_official]

As a person who's parents fought all the time and eventually divorce, and having been the oldest of three younger siblings, this is actually quite accurate. Sometimes we may want to just destroy stuff out of anger from their mistakes, it still hurts to see them hurting. Thank you for this animation. It really touched my heart.

[@Paint-yc7zm]

I know this comment will probably get nowhere in the sea of comments, but I just want to say, this made me cry. I have been in a custody case for the past 3 years and left my youngest sister in Japan while my older sister lives with my Mother and I live with my Father. After 3 years, I have finally realized the value of siblings. My Mother has successfully made me suicidal, my father said that it’s a “sin” to even talk about it so I have nobody. Thank you so very much for raising awareness about situations like these.

[@SorenAlba54]

This really hits me. Although my parents are nothing like the ones shown here, it captures how despite everything we go through and many disagreements we may have, we are still brother and sister at the end of the day and we support each other, no matter the odds are.

This short animation hits so close to home. I've had to grow up watching this cycle continue with my younger siblings, and it hurts. All the disagreements and fights are almost constant and I wish there was a way where it could just stop. My parents were fine growing up, but somewhere along the line, the relationships became rocky and unstable. I wish I could go back in time and learn to forgive rather than let my own anger and feelings get the best of me. Thank you for making this.

You just absolutely crushed my heart- That means you’re really good at conveying emotion! This was beautifully animated and truly inspiring to a beginner animator such as myself!

[@ConceptOfCreat10n]

This hit me hard. It is so relatable to me as an older sister. I can't relate to the abusive parents or the screaming and fighting, but what I do relate to is the dynamic between the sister and brother. The brother does something stupid or annoying in order to make the sister feel better, but all it does is make her feel worse, and so they end up squabbling over it, and it turns into a fight, and soon we're farther apart than we could even imagine and not even the strongest glue could stick us back together. We take some time to ourselves, and it's only long after the damage has been done when we realize how much happened in those moments. Only then do I realize how much I hurt my little brother. The ending with the hugs and the physical affection and the shared sympathy... I heavily relate to that as well. Because when all is said and done, he'll still be my little brother, and I will still love him with all my heart, and I know he shares the sentiment. Thank you for making this masterpiece. I never thought I could relate to something so much, but this made me lose my breath for a moment due to the feels. And the animation itself is overall amazing! It really captures the emotions perfectly!

[@gostupid8376]

This makes me cry alot because it makes me think of my nephew and neice, they are far from me right now but they are close to my heart and it saddens me how they're growing up in the same toxic household i grew up in. i've seen how it affected their relationship with eachother. and i just feel sorry for both of them Seeing them put up with the hardships that come with living in this household pains me in the chest because i went through the same thing and i dont wish it for any of them.. I wish i can offer the best i can as their aunt and see them grow up to achieve what they want in life and be there for eachother. I hope they know i will always be there for them to support them growing up. I dont think im doing such a great job considering how emotionally unavailable and less energetic i feel sometimes, so i try. and its almost kinda difficult how im the only person in that household that has the closest amount of common human decency when it comes to dealing with children. They both deserve the best and they're both really great. They're angels and they dont deserve to have anyone wrong them.... i wish i can somehow provide for them a better environment when i grew up. Even now. Im 16 now. I just wish i could have my own household away from my biological family but i wish i can have my nephew and neice with me there. And i wish i get proper therapy so i can be at my best for them. I wanna be my best for them and provide for them and give them what my parents never could give to me. Im not at my best and i feel like im never doing enough for them. I heard a quote once, "every kid deserves a parent but not every parent deserves a kid" i still think about it. ^ I forgot something i wanted to say. But idk if it was THIS or nah. God i hate it when that happens. Anyways i wish peace for whoever reads this comment i guess or smth idk i teared up and felt like leaving a comment about my precious nephew and neice i love them so muchhhhzxkvjk. ... 🧍‍♀️🌷

I nvr expected myself to cry but i did. This is just like my sister and me. Evn tho our parents don't usually fight, we always had beef towards eachother. But deep down, i just want her to love me, comfort me and be there for me. I'd sometimes cry just remembering how we were so close to eachother when we were kids but now we're like enemies living in the same house. The last part rlly got me. I wish my sis would just say that she's proud of me rather than saying i'm useless every day. I wish she would hug me like the older sis did on the last part. I just wnna play with her again.

This made me cry because when i was younger u was always with my brother but now i sometimes forget i even have a brother😔💔

[@justhayden08]

I feel this on a personal level. When I was younger my parents split and shortly after my brother was born. My mother and step-dad fight and it scares me and my brother a lot, my step-dad has threatened me, my brother, and my mother sometimes and it’s honestly just awful. I sometimes get mad at my brother for being annoying, and he gets mad at me too sometimes. But we both know that without each other we’d be in a unfixable state of sadness. I’m watching this at 12:30 in the morning and I’m nearly crying, these things are becoming too frequent and continue to do so. Love this animation, you earned a sub.

[@pretzelschannel6595]

This is an amazing piece of artwork. It makes me feel sad and happy at the same time and it shows how siblings really are with each other. It's amazing how it shows that the children are more responsible for their actions, forgiving and being honest about their mistakes. For almost all my life, I just really wanted a brother or a sister. I was a single daughter from the very beginning and would always want a younger or older brother and sister to be in my life. I wanted someone to be with and know what it feels like to have the life of being an older sister. Now that I have watched the lives of others and seen their arguments, I want to be a better person once my siblings are born. This animation further inspires me to prepare myself for the future. I do believe that one day I would receive this gift in my life and be kind toward them, trying my best not to have arguments like these that would probably make them cry. Unlike this animation though, I don't think that my parents would fight if I had a complete family.

Living in a teared up family is hard,specially when the very first memory of u whenever u think of them is an argument. Being the eldest in my family I ve also taken out my frustration on my younger brother which eventually was tearing us apart. But even though after a while i understood that things beyond my control are things i should let go.Hopefully i was able to reconnect with my brother before it's too late just like the sister in this short movie.i treasure my brother more than anything and all I want now is to give him is to be a better guardian and keep him safe.I wish everyone realise that siblings will always have each other, no matter what the circumstances are.

[@averymongeon]

After watching this, I started to tear up from how relatable this is. I have younger siblings, and when I was a kid, my parents fought non-stop. Whenever my siblings and I fought, we just mimicked words or phrases our parents said, since from our view, it was how to deal with strong emotions. We lash out and start fights without some cause or goal. We just did it because our parents blindly taught us from their actions towards each other. My mother would always ask why we fought with each other, and that we all used to be best friends. The thing our parents don’t realize, is that the reason we grew apart was from them. A couple years ago, my dad walked out and starting living with his father. They’ve grown apart, and now we are, too. To anyone who is dealing with a similar situation, please, instead of mirroring your parents/guardians actions, think about the best way to deal with your emotions without hurting others or yourself.

this really emphasizes how children grow in a dysfunctional home and grow around nothing but sibling's affection, if they even have one. Growing up and up to now, my parents have always been gone, and it makes me and my five siblings feel neglected. The constant feeling of being "abandoned" and afraid they wouldn't come back itched at the back of our heads. I couldn't imagine how hard it must be for abusive or more neglectful homes, and how hard that was on my siblings. How we started before the "outings" was more innocent and forgiving...and now we fight all the time. With friends, family, and anyone. Child neglect and abuse (not saying my situation counts) can impact a child, whether its obvious or subtle.

When your parents aren't there for you, your siblings are all we have in the end
