Leitmotif

[@placeholdername5559]

Absolutely beautiful animation, so much personality and charm. Also, this is easily the best animated depiction of a cat I've ever seen.

[@angelchaparro2617]

I would never want to be the last of my friends, that would be sad. Thanks for the animation it was beautiful

[@-kenik9629]

But if you aren't wouldn't that mean someone else would have to be?

[@TheHungryMammoth]

Well be like me have no friends a d be used to being sad :(

[@KyoMao]

Who else will remember them?

[@DerPieShuTheDayDreamer]

Does a person with no close friends count?

[@africaisacontinent2149]

@@TheHungryMammoth having no friends doesn't mean that u shd be Sad, life is too short just 😊 smile

[@cluelessbluebird]

The pianist's smile made me feel so good! He was so into the music and his memories!

[@keerthicheerath]

True!

[@breezylively2601]

as a musician ,cat live ,and aspiring animator ,I must say . this made me feel all the feels

[@tortilla3154]

He got so caught up with the past he forgot the present.

[@krohoborka]

Tortilla плохо ли это?

[@krohoborka]

Drauen Ledergufher соглашусь,но порой погрузиться в воспоминая бывает неплохо,разумеется,жить прошлым не является нормой.Иногда заглянуть в чертоги разума,покопаться в памяти,пережить что то ещё раз может идти на пользу.

[@krohoborka]

Drauen Ledergufher к слову,спасибо,что напомнили про эту книгу,надо бы перечитать )

[@krohoborka]

Drauen Ledergufher я аж зачиталась вашей красивой речью,так приятно вести диалог с думающим человеком)полностью поддерживаю ваше мнение и да,все относительно.Каждому своё.

[@sketchyartz5167]

I believe the moral of this story is that it’s better to focus on what you have rather than what you had And that’s a good moral

[@jaschabull2365]

Cool animation. The guy kind of reminded me of Roger from 101 Dalmatians, except a cat owner. Also, I liked the style and how each band member's appearance kind of suggested what he played.

[@jlw601]

It seems like the Disney movie "SOUL" was inspired by this short film, this is nothing short of a masterpiece👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@Hanma420]

Cuz.... I’ve got friends on the other side

[@ferretman40]

Ayyye

[@icepl831]

extra jazzy edition

[@dissonanceparadiddle]

No it's too sad 😭

[@austinb797]

This animation would put to shame any witty comment I might attempt to make, I'll be straightforward: just amazing. Truly amazing.

[@MihaelaBuzgan]

Very beautiful style and shapes of the characters!

[@davidbrogan606]

+Mihaela Buzgan, If you liked this then you should see, The Triplets of Belleville.

[@bucket444y]

This animation is underrated. The animation looks great and the story is amazing! Good job to the people who made this 👍

[@kickpunch202]

I remember watching this as a kid, cooped up on the wood floor of my bedroom. I'm so glad to have found it again!

[@hush6149]

6:24 aww look the cute cat when it was a kitten

[@davidbrogan606]

This animation is similar in style to, The Triplets of Belleville.

[@sofialaya596]

David Brogan it's a shame that this style is nowadays depicted as racist (when actually it just exagerates the shape of every person, not only of a certain group)

[@asaj12343]

This animation is so beatuiful and I'm scared that it is going to be deleted and forgotten for some reason ;-;. Should make a VHS copy of that and store it with important stuff!

[@thatkidlvoe1400]

Damn KZbin recommendation, new record. *8 years*

[@cordthomas97]

Always remember your past but never yearn for it

[@animatingissomething3631]

The cat needs attention!!!!!!!!!!

[@kttyfly3323]

don't frown because its over smile because it happened

[@Sakinoko]

Well said

[@Midg3]

I’m watching this in 2019, anyone else. Or is it just me?

[@Lucas-yv5fs]

who cares bro

[@rutituti678]

In my own opinion I think this represents how we as people tend to only think about our selves and sometimes we get ahead no matter the cost but then we realize that when we truly have hurt others or some one specifically that it is only right to fix things when others love us so unconditionally whether it be human or animal.. Love is love... And love is only meant to grow stronger

[@thetrapgod7260]

AND I GOT FRIENDS ON THE OTHER SIDE!

[@popinlockin1318]

This is so awesome I wish I can animate like that! O my gosh the poor cat

[@CatzEyz66]

That poor cat's antics made me cry... I'm glad [spoilers] and [spoilers]!

[@icepl831]

...i want to listen to that song on a loop...

[@mucahclarke6507]

If I had to count the “inspirational” quotes I would get terminally ill

[@wynnefox]

I like how the man's fingers move to the music on the cat's belly.

[@АбдумажитБакиев]

Nine years ago and i watch that

[@signedzulu7637]

Um.. Scuze me, but I don’t think that’s how hands work.

[@qcumber85]

Grant Gietzen then I might need a doctor

[@buzzzsaw2381]

You just don’t have the Jazz hands 🤗 👐

[@delianeagu3144]

Animation shouldn't be about sticking to realism ;) more realism = less imagination

[@nataliepopper6012]

Wow this short seems to have a lot of SOUL in it, huh Pete Doctor?

[@idleblink3644]

This reminds me of fantasia

[@retiredhitmanireallylikeun6931]

[@officerbanana9096]

Best thing EVER! That cat is so adorable.

[@finchbelknap3498]

The cat made me realize how much I’ve ignored her cause I’ve been into my studies....I really should have watched this sooner

[@El-RaShahzad]

Give your life meaning, it’s good to look at history, don’t get lost in the past

[@ChaostessX3]

This is just wonderful

[@WoodlandDrake]

4:30, and then the man was killed by the cat. Amazing animation.

[@littleravendesigns5587]

I love, your animation!

[@IgorMeshcheriakov]

Fantastically jazzy!

[@divad7137]

Last member of the boys online in the game, he's waiting for the boys to clutch in the gulag.

[@poyrazates5100]

First time he opens his eyes is when he picks up the cat

[@ourabouras]

@LsBaba I also thought it reminded me of Sylvain Chomet's work. Really fun style, and an impressive amount of work for such a small team.

[@saucincapn]
