Blue: A Short Film

[@joanthorington3593]

And to believe this was 10 years ago...fabulous!

[@RoySATX]

Every little boy has had this dream. Of beeping robots or rowdy pirates sailing by the stars, or cowboys on white horses or courageous jungle explorers having wild adventures, imagination by day and dreams at night the action never stops. I'm sure all children have some variation on the theme, but little boys still deserve some dreams of their own.

[@cantdance3077]

This is brilliant. A pure joy to behold. Simple and thought provoking. Loved the animation, wonderful sound track, perfect pacing. Starting at 4:35, Blue's eyes were so expressive and continued throughout the story, which for me , perfectly suggested an obvious level of sentience. Modern writers and movie makers (especially Disney) should watch this continuously to try and rediscover their heart. But ultimately it was about a little boy's imagination, fears and dreams.

[@meatballman9745]

I remember watching this masterpiece on my old windows XP pc when I was like 5, I can't remember how old I exactly was, but I was very young. This film had become such a core memory that I still remember it till this day, and somehow I came here and watched it again today. I'm 18 now. And I think it's safe to say that no film will ever take the place that this one holds in my heart.

[@pitinhabitant]

Same here! I was looking for this fanatically after it kept popping up in my memory, until my dad finally showed me his copy again

[@allenhaywood9608]

man when that aspect ratio pops up it immediately takes me back and I love it, you don't need fancy equipment and effects to make a fan fav, a good puppet can do it every time!

[@darrelldavis9841]

This video was just so well done💙

[@mrkeggjr]

Awesome short did not see the dream aspect coming! Loved the plot and the CGI! Great job overall

Nice surprise ending. Loved James Anderson's music and foley.

AMAZING FILM! Really enjoyed the plot and the design of the machines. The only thing about this I kinda don't like are the sound effects. Most of them don't have weight or impact. BUT STILL THOUGH, AWESOME!!!

Ahhhh. So that’s why it didn’t make sense that he was being chased. Clever!

[@daveberry5901]

That is Jesus Christ, can you not tell??? Watch his eyes and face, the issue with the door, that represents a guillotine, you see the figure on the door, looks as it could be holding up a severed head. . . Thats him. Tell me, what do you think as you watch his eyes.???

[@saltzen961]

Great !!! well done

[@harvhoward6423]

Great little plot right up to the end. Probably the best of over a 100 of these short sci-fi videos I've watched. It doesn't take itself too seriously at any point, and yet, "resistance is futile" in the larger picture.

[@danieltriplett6717]

Great short film

[@kirstymackenzie2437]

Seeing this film which was made quite a while ago, made me think of the delivery robots which are used in Milton Keynes, in the UK, to deliver food etc to people. I saw one and it was so cute! Not like Blue of course - heś cuter!

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?" kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoCyZZ-oicifhLs

[@tsmeman63]

Poor blue, with his big innocent eyes. What did he do wrong to deserve being punched and shot at? When he was in pain and bleeding, dying, I felt so sad and angry and then was flabbergasted right after what followed. A huge thumbs up to the filmmakers!

[@Hawk-gu8kj]

Have you ever noticed, that the antagonist _ALWAYS_ stops exactly outside/beside/above/below the spot the protagonist is hiding? Don't matter what the medium, it always happens.

[@scottmcadam4509]

I remember that aspect ratio :)

[@mierbeuker8148]

I don't know. It sure was cute and all, but somehow I feel cheated. It's like when Bobby suddenly came out of the shower. I mean, it's just....not right!!!! It's like I've been watching nothing really, for something that's not even a "short" video!!

[@vernalc2449]

Nice, fun film. Q: Why do robots "blink"? lol. (I know-to make them seem more human and less scary-it's called personification. Just an observation.) People don't realize how difficult it is to make a film without any dialogue and still be able to get the concept across. I know this is a bit older, so I hope you have had much success!
