      Well my interpretation of it was that he only dreamt it all up as a kid. When he got off the toy, he imagined himself working hard and long throughout his life until one day he'd empty it all to launch off in the spaceship! So the whole film didn't really span decades, it covers only a timespan of about 5 minutes that he spent fantasizing about his childhood! I think it's all the more plausible since the film begins with fantasizing as well :)

      Most people have that experience because they try to do it by themselves for themselves. Collaborate and shave years off the process and achieve multiple goals. Its probably better to have realistic goals. I felt like that old guy before launch when I realized we never went to the moon. 90% of what we "know" about space is a fantasy just like him flying away in a coin operated rocket ship. This video was great though.

  • @assumingtrash6853

    I think this is a metaphor. He wasn’t actually selling lemonade for the rest of his life. It showed that he always had hoped to go to the moon but he never had. Then when he dies he blast off to the moon with the spirit of when he was a child. Edit: also I don’t think his mom ditched him I think all this just represents his life and how he moved into his own house and didn’t live with his mom anymore.

    @khoivuongminh5775 2 ปีที่แล้ว +255

    Worthy of the winning award movie title, it was one of the great 5 minutes in my life. The man worked hard, he dreamt big and he achieved his dream. In my opinion, the film is not a moral lesson about working hard or money’s power, but the importance of having a goal/dream in our life, the one that motivate us to move forward, to live another day, and to pursue our own happiness. By the way, his disappointed face when he first tried the rocket spring rider was priceless, such a pure innocent look (and a little cute) when he found out the reality does not like his expectation, we all have been there, right:)?. That’s all for my amateur critics, peace.

    I interpreted it this way. The whole story happened in the mind of the kid after the first disappointing 5¢ ride. That's why the price of lemonade never changed and he was assessing how many years and 5¢s it'd take for him to actually go that distant. He could only think of lemonade stand as the only way to earn money atm. It just represented his passion, will and drive to fly to the moon. This is a brilliant display of a child's vivid imagination.

      Андрей Я , мне кажется, он как раз это и вообразил - как он в итоге все равно полетит на Луну.
      Во-первых, всю жизнь продавать лимонад - это явно не то, чем займется нормальный человек (и не то, чем можно заработать на пропитание). Но в детском воображении это представляется как достойный способ заработка. Ок. Во-вторых, только ребенок может верить, что игровая ракета взлетит. И в-третьих, в финале на ракете выше облаков взлетает мальчик, а не старик. Из всего этого напрашивается вывод, что вся эта история произошла в воображении ребенка.
      А вот почему он сразу не вообразил себе полет на Луну, а представил, как он копит мелочь до старости... наверное, потому, что одна из идей мультика состояла в том, что все в мире приводится в движение деньгами.

      @@flybeep1661 Maybe you can help explain it because all I'm seeing is the same message that we all seem to buy into. Work hard and put off being happy because it's all going to pay off, just keep working a little longer, a little longer, you'll be happy later, we swear, just keep working at it a little longer and you'll get to be happy, just be patient. But it never comes, you just keep going and hoping and being patient until you realize that this is it. You have to enjoy the scenery that is passing you right now or else your whole life will pass you like the blink of an eye and you'll regret that you never actually got to the moon, but maybe if you had just "worked harder" or if "those damn ___ wouldn't have ___". I see so many people focusing on what they don't have, like the boy letting all those people pass through his stand without forming a relationship with a single one of them. Nothing was even a blip on his radar because he fixated so much on what he didn't have. He didn't even find pleasure in his little toy rocket anymore, he just kept thinking "Someday I'll be happy, and then all of this will have been worth it"

    4:40 the old man finally gets to use the rocket ship, and fulfills his dream of being an astronaut..."One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind, and a chance for an elderly man to fulfill his dream..." I have tears in my eyes seeing that...

    Beautifully animated story with a universal theme of striving for one's life dream. The ending was just magical.

    1. Dreams do come true
    Or
    2. If you dream too long, you'll die in that sleep.

    I think it’s sad how people have to work their whole life just for one drea and never achieve it. Lesson learned: never pursue your impossible childhood dreams”

    I think the selling of lemonade depicted him really working hard to see his dream come true.

    How moving this film is. It is so metaphoric of the hardships of our lives in the pursuit of our dreams... provided we do not lose sight of them as we grow up.
    Many many thanks for this beautiful work. Happy new Year to all (Joëlle from Paris).

    it reminds me of a song named "fix u by coldplay " and i think it's so relatable to this :
    When you try your best, but you don't succeed
    When you get what you want, but not what you need
    When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
    Stuck in reverse
    And the tears come streaming down your face
    When you lose something you can't replace
    When you love someone, but it goes to waste
    Could it be worse?
    Lights will guide you home
    And ignite your bones
    And I will try to fix yo
