That might be shown in having a character understand their growth over time, rather than a revelation in one moment.

Another thing you didn't cover that I appreciated was how much a bastard Jack horner was, we dont get that level of pure evil villains it feels, children movie antagonists are usually more nuanced or having reasonable ideals nowadays, but as a comedic choice having the bad guy just be unredeemably bad was so funny!

exurb1a's vids used to do the same for me, especially when I was in a dark place a few years back. Now that I'm picking up the pieces, it's mostly just a sense of melancholy. I really do like his content, the way he phrases things, the way I can resonate with them. But I don't really know him as a person, I don't know if he really is someone who abused his girlfriend- which makes me feel less of a righteous indignation and more of a dull realization that I can still derive comfort from the words of someone who could have done some bad things. 'Separating the art from the artist' is especially hard when exurb1a's content is centered around the human state of being, where I want to put integrity in character behind his words. Still, this gave me a little push I needed to pull myself together, not get caught up in my own depressive periods and not despair over the fact that I won't ever _truly_ know someone else's heart, no matter how much I want to like them or care for them. I hope you can reach that point where you can just sit back and enjoy being a little detached while still appreciating content with a lot of heart in it.

It used to teach kids lessons that they weren't always ready to hear or understand, so that they would in the future perhaps recall to it either in the back of their minds or at the forefront. So those themes and lessons are more deeply ingrained, like on the opposite scale of internalized trauma. I've experienced similarly calling back to old media, that helps shape my worldview, my values, morals and ethics. As silly as it might sound nowadays given the state of children's media, it wasn't always flashing lights and colors made to make babies force their parents into buying merchandise. It was for serving a greater purpose, and I hope a movie like this can help bring back respectful and meaningful storytelling to children that their parents can enjoy with them.

You just wish in someway magical or by a miracle you just end up having it. And even by the slightest chance that you somehow end up getting what you want you feel like you didnt earn it. So moral of the story is that the world is full of meaning. You can just draw meaning from anywhere even the smallest things in life or as a nice youtuber once said meaning is a jumper you have to knit yourself.

[@DS-fm1ej]

Meaning there is meaning along the way on this blue dot of our existence but in the end, the limitation on our understanding line, in regards to it all, there needs to be no meaning in relation to the cosmos ...save for we all have our time as individuals, families, people, countries, species, land, mountains, seas.

[@playgroundchooser]

Oh man... what a great comment. You just gave me a looooot to think about. :) I hope you have a good day.

[@nkanyisoinnocentkhwane3752]

I'm so happy to hear you liked it 💜 such great themes, I love the strengths of art that can make us feel

"The intellect is there to communicate emotion in greater resolution." Beautifully said.

[@-Raylight]

*"We're still a child at heart"* I've never heard truer words spoken... They didn't need to go this hard, but they did. Almost everything about this film is perfect

[@elisnider8191]

I gotta say, after watching the movie, i found its coverage of death and family/friends to be a lot like some of your videos. Where its not such a bad thing to just live your life, love the people around you, and face death when it comes. But i cannot say i expected a review to come of it. Thanks for the other recommendations, ill have to see if EEAaO is still showing

[@joshk4802]

I've never felt more connected with a content creator then i do right now. This was perfectly said.

[@ncrranger6327]

Same. It hitted home so hard that these 12 minutes went by so easily, I just realized time passed in the last 2 seconds

[@xenno8496]

Yet another video of yours going on my favorites Playlist, I definitely will be trying to watch this asap

[@MrFanBoyDee]

watched this movie twice in theaters and genuinely cried twice while watching it. i say this as a grown man. this movie was beautiful.

[@adamwhite6484]

Thank GOD you've seen Everything Everywhere all at once, the rocks scene reminds me very much of your videos - it's become one of my favourite films ever

[@patricks.5707]

You keep telling us that you could never write something as good, but then you go on and make me laugh and cry and think and feel not only in the span of this short video, but in every single video you make! Your texts are an absolute banger and I love your narrating voice, it just fits so perfectly. Soothing but not boring or sleep evoking, just the right tone to listen attentively and still feel at ease.

[@daughterofpythia3984]

I watched your video yesterday and dragged my friends to the cinemas today! We all loved the movie and I'm very happy and grateful that you made a video about it, because I definitely wouldn't have watched it otherwise. So thanks a lot for recommending!

[@szellemsam]

In the end, you don't have to fear Death, but to respect it. Also, perrito is the goodest boy.

yo thanks, i didnt get all the references and was hoping someone did this

[@frischesbr0t]

thank you so much for posting this, I was about to rewatch the whole video to check for all of exurb1as references 🙏

[@paperadmiral9444]

You've convinced me, and thanks for the other reccomendations. The kind of film you describe brings me back to when I first watched Princess Monoke as a child.

[@totallynotbench]

this video means so much to me, my stories and my art. it brought a huge point to why i enjoy what i do. thank you so much for the time put into this video.

[@spaced_RAVEN]

Truly one of the best animated films i have ever seen. I love how real and deep it is to us, but a child could watch it and enjoy it too without ever knowing. Truly a 10/10

[@croatnobody]

I hate that ppl feel that there isnt any good art, when there are a ton of indies (be it games or movies) that are amazing and ppl just dont care to look

[@islandboy9381]

ppl just wanna bitch about anything it is what it is

[@zuzkas99]

Oh, it's so nice listening to your words - so well put together, and clearly articulated thoughts. It's calming and relatable. I'm having the best time listening to your work!

[@ericsu0630]

I will never forget that terrifying scene where the shadow of Death was sneaking up on Puss behind the locked door. Adults were scared because of the symbolism of "Death being unescapable", and kid's were scared because the scary wolf was gonna get him. Truly a masterclass in film writing.

[@TheMadWhit666]

Lol, me and my ex broke up, not ling after it came out. My mum wanted to go see a movie to try and cheer me up. She'd suggested AntMan cause I love the Marvel movies, but recently, they haven't been doing too well in my opinion, so jokingly, I opted to go to this movie. My God, was it the right choice. I thought I was walking into a children's movie that was gonna be fun and have a nice moral at the end. I wasn't expecting to connect so damn hard with this stupid talking cat😅 His need to try and be a "legend" and pushing everyone away in pursuit of filling his ego really made me take a step back and examine thay I'd kinda done the same thing. More worried about what the majority of people thought about me as opposed to what the people closest to me thought about me. His fear of being forgotten by everyone and dying without making a mark is heavily relatable to a 19 year old😂 Walked out of the theatre with a slightly new perspective, actually. My ex said I was a toxic shit and I had never changed over the years. She was right. And I hate to say it took a talking cat in a kids' movie to make me see it, but that's exactly what happened.

[@thomasbiernacki8399]

One of the few redeeming things about being Polak is that both Shrek and Puss In Boots have the most incredible dubs ever made, EN is fantastic don't get me wrong, but Polish voiceover goes hard with its many easter eggs to Polish pop-culture and most fantastic voice delivery

[@TheCuteRibbon1]

Thank you so much for your videos, they feel so uplifting to me❤

[@moleymoleymole69]

Your videos always provoke the emotion I need right at the perfect moment

[@influx5821]

That part where you said we feel things and want to make others feel things too really hit me. It's like how we share our music taste with others, only for them to go "yeah it's alright" and we know they actually thought it was shit. You showed them the song because you wanted them to feel the same way you do when you listen to it, but sometimes it just doesn't work out that way. And that's OK. My personal favourite film is bad santa. Its got dark, adult and sexual themes to it and is very funny, but there is a deeper meaning to the story that isn't quite obvious at a first glance. Whenever I tell anyone that bad santa is my favourite film they are kinda confused as to why, because they just know it as a dumb adult themed Christmas comedy and nothing more, but there are subtle things that hint at the emotions of the characters. Like when Marcus berates Willie, in the next scene he is always drunk and looks depressed, showing how Marcus is a very toxic part of Willie's life and is the source of a lot of misery for him, both through his direct behaviour and the fact that Marcus is the one who holds up their criminal operation, allowing Willie to spend all his stolen money on alcohol which makes him more depressed. Sorry if this all sounds a mess, I've just never really had a place to talk about these ideas before

[@DS-fm1ej]

Glad you did talk about another movie here, exurb1a also mentioned another one, eh....the eeeaoc. & What in the world was he doing in Tennessee or? Consulting right. Will put bad Santa on my to do watch list

[@Ivansinchioficial]

this was the most, human? thing i ever heard from the internet, it made me feel like someone also felt, it was, i cant describe it i just sat here for a solid 5 minutes thinking of a word well it made me feel human, like other people are like me? like have... feelings? i dont know.

You probably watched all his vids rn

I've run out of antidepressants and this made me have the only good cry I've had this week thanks

[@buttersddragon]

I usually don't leave comments before finishing videos but GOD IT HIT ME SO HARD TO HEAR SOMEONE ELSE BRING UP FLOWERS FOR ALGERNON

[@rainsfall2494]

Read the book in 6th grade and it just hit different I've never read science fiction and was the thing that got me into star trek and stuff.

[@oliverfawcett1023]

As someone going through dramatic life changes, coming to terms with reality and my place in it as an adult male this movie was astounding. Loved it from start to finish, made me feel so much more than usual. Watched it with my son and then my partner, awesome

[@maleforthedragon5177]

I love the hope in humanity this resonates. Thank you for feeling, with us.

[@thespeedyyoshi]

DANG. I can absolutely tell you’re a writer just by the way you speak in this video. Extremely well spoken and thought out, and a beautiful analysis about the humanity and feeling we can get from media. ^^

[@op-fb2cm]

This film is so good it brought the tortoise out of hibernation - and, boy, does he have some clever things to say.

[@xyandi4870]

I was wondering when the depressed turtle would post again. Good to hear from him again. Well played, and much love! I've got a film to watch now.

[@missclouddemon]

I wasn’t expecting to feel so inspired by a review of a sequel of a spin-off of a character that first appeared in a different sequel

[@scyobiempire4450]

I watched this the other week and my grandma (60), sister (2) and I were glued. This film was a masterpiece

[@thegoldenapplle9746]

Yay! The space turtle is here to fry my brain!

[@danielrosenfeld1963]

i was thinking about writing a comment recommending Everything Everywhere all at once from the first couple minutes of this video because it is my favourite movie ever, but i thought id watch the video first and not spend brainpower writing and listening at the same time, and when you mentioned it by yourself my jaw dropped properly for the first time in ages and i was genuinely in shock. If you by some miracle read this comment i hope it finds you well. i am a long time subscriber from Norway and your videos have made my day so many times. I recently rewatched som of your videos and you promoted your book at the end. i embarrassingly have never ever finished a book, so i thought i would give yours a try, so i bought the four that was available in paperback. they will arrive soon, and i will read them when i have spare time in the military. Keep making videos and i will keep watching. Sincerely, Daniel from Norway

[@spidey-texas]

Thanks for bringing me to watch this because you felt things and wanted others to feel things too!

[@Blacktip_reefshark]

Holy shit I put this up as a podcast while doing homework and it was so good! You explain so simple and clear, both in pronounciation and showing your opinion. It's so relaxing and easy to digest while working on something else. Thank you, and yes this movie is the best ever.

[@PerspectivEs]

Wow, this was pleasantly unexpected. I love your books so far by the way, takes my imagination cool places

[@Shaun.Stephens]

Thanks Dude, you've given me a couple things to watch and a game to check out.

[@AnantMall]

With all the Plethora of content in all forms; you make me feel like nothing else can.

[@evakazoo]

Bro I think you achieved the humanity I laugh and cry at your main channel videos all the time They’re very well put together

[@AnAngelForsaken]

I’ve just discovered you through this video. I was captivated by your thoughts on feeling before thinking. I feel like you would really appreciate Psychonauts 2. It’s a genuinely beautiful game that that takes a lot of technical and sterilized concepts about mental health and cognizance and turns it into a wacky adventure that puts a lot of feeling and heart into struggles that often get summarized by a medical term. I can’t remember the last time a game made me laugh incessantly at my own chronic internal struggles and then cry so hard at a beautifully hopeful notion that people can heal even in the twilight of their life.

[@hannezz4497]

Thank you for being positive in this video, it was very refreshing to hear. Love your channel and your work!

[@Raacoba]

thank you for the reccomend (and the other ones you sprinkeled in between :3). watched the movie first and then this vid afterwards (looked forward to that for about a week) and as every you managed to putt in some remaining (and new) ideas thoughts and symbolic concepts ^-^ love your vids (and your wierd flavor of how the world should look like OEH and your latest novel which i still haven't finished because it made me feel so much i had to recharge for a bit) xxx

[@eise.]

I realized almost immediately that I could relate to the dog.

When my worlds collide. How is this possible? Thank you for this. Really. In a world where I just exist while being decent something this lovely comes into my life. Thank you.

[@WilliamWright-hr4ev]

You are great at making people cry for the best reasons

[@Equinox_Fox]

You talk about enjoying media from a story standpoint. I've always appreciated and enjoyed watching how things move, the animation side. The only reason this movie ever got on my radar, was due to being told "It was styled like the animated Spiderman". Even in the short clips it's writing shines. Appreciated for convincing me to actually watch the movie in full.

[@potatoboy6094]

I think thats what really at the core of what separates a good thing from a masterpiece; accessibility. there is an understated genius to describing human emotion in a way that’s not just to the point but poignant. it’s easy to get snobby about mainstream media but take a second to really consider the concept of mass appeal and what it means for our similarities and shared humanity. there are so many compelling things we overlook due to their accessibility, because explaining why we connect feels like explaining color.
