This was an advert at the cinema and I was surprised that something with a strong animal rights message would be able to go that mainstream, thank you so much ❤️
Went back to the cinema yesterday since the lockdown. Before the film they played this short film. On my way home I was thinking about this short film insted of the actual film. Heartbreaking.
Love this - charming and deeply poignant. It is very moving to hear people talk about their experiences of lockdown, but to simultaneously remind us of the plight of animals in zoos cleverly and powerfully adds another level of pathos.
@@MrRickster83 No, they are genuine vox pops - unscripted interviews with regular people just saying what they feel about lockdown. Then the animation is done afterwards to synchronise with the interview recording.
I agree with the fact that the animals aren't good in circuses and dolphinaria, but for the zoos (or at least, for most of them), the animals are good, in big enclosure created to make them feel like their home

Thank-YOU for creating this-I have shared it and will save it. People don't realize that the few moments they spend gawking at these animals-is a lifetime of misery for them! YOU are FREE to ROAM-spend your time as YOU want to-YOU have a choice-these animals don't and that is NOT right!!! ALL LIVES MATTER-ANIMAL LIVES TOO!!!! HELP END CAPTIVITY, EXPLOITATION & the Use of ALL Animals-except for therapy, guard, companion and rescue animals. Respect animals for their uniqueness-we have been Blessed with an amazing diversity of amazing animals-we SHARE this planet WITH them-THEY have EVERY right to Lives FREE from harassment, pain, fear, deprivation and manipulation.
Brilliant cartoon work and idea Very sad reality Lockdown for humans is temporary, we’re thinking beings and know what’s going on A lot worse for animals in permanent prisons , defenseless, stolen from their environment and stripped of everything that makes the life of a wild animal worthwhile
Heartbreaking and enlightening at the same time. This really empathizes what these innocent WILD animals may be feeling being locked up for human purposes. Thank goodness the world is becoming more aware of our own atrocities for personal gain. =^..^=
No animal should be in any zoo, circus, test laboratories etc and yes, so sad to see what "humans" put them through. This is natures way of showing us on a small scale what we have done to animals.... let's hope that we can change their lives for the better and stop "humans" from profiting off their "lockdown" :)
Is this by Nick Park?.... As humans during lockdown our plight is a mere nothing in comparison to what we deliberately put wild animals through. No moaning people.... Please, let's find some silver linings in all this & make some serious positive changes to this world we all share for such a short time. 🙏❤️🌎
I think what some people don't understand is that not all captive environments aren't bad or negative for animals. If they are given proper care and all their welfare needs are met. What about conservation projects what about all the research. Yes this film sends a strong message. But I think it's unfair to compare the likes of a circus who's main reason for having animals for education, to a zoo who have to meet certain standards and must contribute to conservation, research and education!
People who whine about being locked down, oh wah! Animals have NO choice or voice in this matter. Animals should be left alone in the wild where they belong, not in cages!
@@78625amginE How is he not very bright? They're in zoos BECAUSE people poach and kill them in the wild. Several hundreds of animals have become extinct because humans have this constant need to kill poor innocent animals. It may seem wrong trapping them in a zoo, but it's safer than keeping them in the wild where people hunt them for sport/pleasure.
The Killer Whale bit is the most depressing to me, since the place where he is is abandoned, there's garbage littered on the floor, and the water in his tank does not look clean or healthy and the guy who was interviewed sounds defeated the most
Good video. Now we know what lockdown means! I wish we would stop calling animals 'wild'. Perhaps another word like feral may be better. Otherwise, we carry the prejudice with the word wild that needs to be either tamed or caged from generation to generation. Colonized people were also thought to be wild who needed to be civilised. In other words, tamed and contained in the European cage.
Feral refers to domesticated animals that have returned to living a wild type lifestyle outside their native areas, like feral cats, goats and horses, whereas wild describes animals living in their native habitat that have never been domesticated. There are many animal related problems to be solved, including poaching, illegal wildlife trade, habitat loss, climate change...etc but replacing the term "wild" isn't one of them. There's nothing wrong with the term wild when referring to animals, they're not offended or victims of generational prejudice - this goes beyond anthropomorphizing into ridiculousness.
Yeah, some people just don’t get the opposing side on zoos and SeaWorld. I’ve known at least one person who knew I loved animals and thought it would be a nice thing to do to go to Longleat Safari Park with him. I’m like no, because I love animals. I’ve known others that seemed to make the point that the zoo would be a great trip for me, or the whole captive breeding point. What I don’t get is, if zoos are so adamant about conservation, what’s the point of breeding them in captivity if, as is the case with most zoos and their animals, they’re never going to release them into the wild anyway, because the animals were bred in captivity and wouldn’t survive in the wild? Breeding hundreds of thousands of endangered animals in captivity, only to never release them, is not going to benefit the wild populations or the wild ecosystems that depend on these species. Yes, it might keep the species around a bit longer for us to see, but that, in and of itself, isn’t really going to benefit the species in the wild, or the natural environments in the wild, is it? Zoos know that people will be more likely to be willing to pay to see both endangered species and baby animals, or endangered baby animals. That being said, some zoos are okay. The ones that are actually all about rescuing animals and their welfare, rights and conservation are extremely important, but not just ordinary, for-profit zoos. Even though, the sanctuaries do, of course, rely on money from visitors, this often goes towards the care, rescue and conservation of the animals. For instance, where I live, in the South of the UK (although not in my county, and actually quite far from where I actually live), there is this amazing place called Monkey World. They are kind of a zoo, but their sole purpose for existence is all about the rescue, education, conservation and care of monkeys and other primates. Did you know, apparently, the Great Apes, like gorillas and orangutans, are not actually “monkeys”, they are apes, but not monkeys? An example of a true monkey would be like a capuchin or gibbon (correct me if I’m wrong)? There is also this great place in Florida called Big Cat Rescue. There are also many wolf sanctuaries in America. I love and adore wolves and would love to visit a wolf sanctuary.
Right, staying at home, essentially the bare minimum required of ppl, was real govt authoritarianism 🙄 Anyone whining abt home orders, which were short term and allowed for social distanced outside time and essential errands, has no idea what real govt oppression is and should be embarrassed for pretending that's what it was. You clearly didn't live in an area, like here in NYC, where thousands of ppl were getting sick every day, where hospitals and morgues were overflowing with the dead, where the only street sounds were ambulances or where healthcare workers were so burnt out and traumatized that they committed suicide. I'm glad you didn't experience that but if you're still complaining abt stay at home orders, you also didn't experience anything close govt persecution or tyranny.
Hi Alecia, thank you for your message! Have you tried copying the url separately, then posting on Facebook, by using the link through the share button below the video? It might work that way. 😊
I doubt you haven't seen "Creature Comforts", and if you did you should at least mention it as an """inspiration""". Not to undermine the message tho, which is important.. it's a cool twist on the other short.

Despite being a staunch supporter of personal freedom, freedom of speech, and generally against "cancel culture", as a devoted animal lover I *do* make exceptions to this rule: Those who are keeping/housing wildlife (an underestimated form of animal cruelty) in unjust living-environments and subsequently attempt to disguise this as acceptable, and benign 'pet ownership' - *especially* those who (ab)use the situation by posting _'cutesy'_ videos, which generally give a huge number of ignorant viewers the (utterly wrong) impression that it's harmless and A-Okay - leading to more endless suffering *should be cancelled.* ASAP! I don't think I have to spell out many examples of "unnatural" keeping/environments, bc simple "common sense" should raise a possible red-flag when confronted with a situation like this; for instance, keeping wild otters in a small flat(!) who will be walked wearing a dog leash/harness(!), and, *_if they're lucky,_* get to feel the river once a week, *still* wearing that horrid harness when trying to swim to prevent them to break free (and not coming back)... The latter example is from a Japanese YT-channel (this country saw a humongous hype of keeping wildlife as housepets, mostly due to some fairytale characters, spirits transformed as certain animals), whose comments consist predominantly of (little/stupid) girls fawning, cooing "how so very cute this all is", "how they want one for themselves", and some having doubts and complain about its "horrible, deafening screeching" (ie, the sound of an otter in distress), the only companion/playmate is the housecat... And if in any doubt, look further, and you'll find countless (local) animal welfare websites lamenting over this problem. I, therefore, would plead that anyone, who cares about the welfare of animals: *Don't* underestimate the suffering of wildlife parading in said 'cutesy videos', and clearly state your objections in the comments, inform the ignorami, however innocently meant, of what it *factually* is, *animal cruelty, with a 'my sweet pony veneer'.* Ignorance isn't "bliss"!

That’s what I thought when we were on lockdown
Very powerful. Get out there everywhere!! Made me cry
Conveys a great message!
Powerful stuff indeed.
If only people would apply the same sentiment to the animals they eat.
I just don't understand why people do this. They need to realise that these poor animals are living creatures like us.
Those poor defenseless animals. Locked in a cage while their caretakers get to lounge in their quarantines.
12 years of isolation and still going 🤟
As sad and heartbreaking as this is it just makes me wish Aardman would do a new series of Creature Comforts
