We all need a goopy water monster friend
I agree
@@TheWoofus I think we all agree
Well buddy do I have just the necronomicon for you
Nah I need wings
I'd call her a "salamander girl" but yeah, she's' adorable.
I love that Grace didn't freak out, just immediately got into hanging out and playing in the pond. Very sweet.
@@omegadadragon Talking about his friend at the end.
@@bluelfsuma Thank you.
Now I shall implode bc that was a very bad case of incorrect correction.
✨EFT'S DESIGN IS SO CUTE!!! ✨
Yo skynix wazzaaappp
ITS HIM
Average furry incel oc, tbh
You :0
I 100% agree hands-down
Hi, the voice of young Jamie here! It's so great to see this again, the animation is stunning! I hope everyone enjoys the story as much as I do ❤ Congrats on the premiere!
Lovely voice!
Genuinely great VA work! This comment should be pinned, your work here deserves more attention than my dumb pun :]
You did good!
Absolutely enjoyed it ❤🎉
You did such an amazing job!
I love the attention to detail on Eft, I don’t know a lot about newts, but I do know when they’re small they’re orange before growing up :3
OOOOOHH, I was wondering why the color change!
Cool do you know why they turn from orange to green? Then I’ll get my answer on why Eft did too.
@@lilhedgehog8576 eft must be based on an eastern newt! Their name makes sense now because their juvenile stage is call “red eft stage”! Then they go to their aquatic adult stage and turn an olive green.
The name’s Pond. Jamie’s Pond.
you wouldn't believe the disappointment on my face when I thought I came up with an original joke only to open the comments to see it as the top comment 😭
The pond’s name. Jamies name.
@@ragcat3732 Call a pondulance
@@ragcat3732please to- what?
As punishment for making this pun you shall be poked with a stick, once.
This hits way to hard. I kid you not, when I heard the "I always say the wrong thing" I literally HUGGED MY LAPTOP.
I'm extroverted but struggle to make friends because of this. I have a hard time feeling embarrassed over things, so I can never tell what I do "wrong." The reason I don't feel awkward around others is because I love who I am, even with all my mistakes and flaws, because I've worked all my life since the day I was born to form who I am. I'm great, even if I may seem like a crazy dumbass. Nothing wrong with being strange, lol, if the entire world were "normal" than it'd be boring af, and would it even make life worth living? No. I hope you're doing well, and if you're a weirdo, then I appreciate you for being so, because you make life wonderous and worth living.
“They just think im weird”
“Well…. they sound dumb”
Thank you Eft😭
The awards make it pretty obvious what this is gonna be about and I love it.
Brilliant short.
Feels like a cross between Pixar's Luca and Dead End: Paranormal Park.
DEAD END MENTION???? I LOVE DEAD END ISTG IT'S THE BEST ANIMATED SERIES ON NETFLIX
@@littlealex4849 You've got a funny way of spelling Hilda/J
That doesn't sounds like the best combinations
@@AhmedMalaki youd be surprised
I love these low/urban fantasy type pieces of media that keep coming out. Just the casual nature of a character finding magic so close to home. Makes me feel like I could experience it too if I just keep my eye out haha
Wonderful scene and character design, I love how eft looks more like a pond creature than the typical naiad designs you often see (water creature) they're beautiful don't get me wrong but eft feels fresh and unique. The animation is smooth too, can't believe this was made by one person alone, it's stunning, tv show level quality. You should be very proud of yourself.
Right until Grown-up Jamie appears, I was 100% convinced that kid was autistic. The film would have been exactly the same up to the final scene. Being rejected for who you are is... hard. Good film.
Jamie’s feeling of being othered is very much inspired by my own experiences as an autistic child who later came out as trans! -Reid
This was such a sweet story 😭🥹
sponje bob ded in 2001
Oh this is going to be heartwarming.
Edit: I was right, this is so heartwarming.
I was worried that other people would would think that Eft is a monster and would hunt him down, a litterly thought that grown Jamie was one of the bullies at first
Thanks a lot. I'm in a really dysphoric period currently, so thus made me feel a little bit better. This reminded me about my one friend I'm out to and I've reconnected with her now. We're friends again!
my favorite toyota motor is the 5vz-fe because of its reliability and the sound it makes when i use nutella in it instead of oil
@@connors3356, is that true?
Bruder, was? @@connors3356
My girlfriend came out as transmasculine recently, and I was really worried because I'm straight, and we knew it wasn't going to work out. We broke up, but we're still friends. Nothing will change that. I'm... Kind of Transphobic.. so it's hard for me, but no matter what, that doesn't change how we feel about eachother.
Good luck with your dysphoria.
@@Candjstudios2024There's nothing okay with being transphobic btw. It's the thing a person should be ashamed of
I’m not trans, but I heavily relate to the never fitting in, especially due to my autism.
I do too, I’m not autistic but I do have a physical disability that almost always gets confused with CP. I also have a voice that you have to get used to in order to understand. On top of all of that, I’m either gay or bi.
Being trans and autistic, I relate A LOT
Just the human experience. Fear of being outcasted is quite common.
Distributing shorts is a great idea!!! They get eyes on you and your other projects!
Sometimes you can find the bestest of friends,even in the most oddest of places.
Aw! My name is Jamie too! I love that Eft was always there for Jamie.
We all need a slimy pond friend in our lives
this is the story my young self needed. thank you, reid. 🖤
Jamie and Grace over here, swimming with their shoes on
Fantastic short film!
That was heart warming. I love this. 10/10 on the animation, VA, and writing.
OMG NEW FLIMPO ANIMATION IM SO HAPPY
We all need a friend like Eft.
This hit home for me, I didn't know I needed this, thank you so much.
2:14 Well if that ain't a flashback to my childhood lol
Always questioning why they were laughing at me or what I say, even when I'm being serious. Little me needs this.
OMG I absolutely ADORE Eft! Their design is so CUTE!!!!
This was a lovely animation, thank you studio flimpo for another incredible story! :D massive props to everyone who worked on it
Great short film. Really heartwarming, I relate to it a fair bit. Keep it up Studio Flimpo!
its almost impossible for me to pick a favorite now as the amount of short films I've seen on TH-cam is too much at this point and i loved mostly all of them and this one is no exception, cute fluid art style with a nice story and beautiful music to go with it. congrats on completing this and i personally thank everyone involved for going thru with it. mwah chef kiss😘
thank you, now I want 3 seasons and a spin off
EFT’s design is so freaking cute!!! Awhhhh! I just wanna hug him!!
AWHHH!!! this is so incredibly sweet and beautiful
I was like ‘this feels VERY trans-coded but I don’t wanna make any assumpt-“ and then the time skip happened and I started hollering 🌟🩵
The art style, character designs, and colors choices are all so pleasing and intentional! I love it
It's very beautiful, I bet this will become famous :) It's nice how the friendship of those two grows...And better yet, someone else arrives!
I have a question, why did the creature change color after a long time? Is it part of its growth? I'm very curious, thanks >;)
Eft’s design is based on the eastern newt, which goes through a similar physical change as it transitions from juvenile to adult! Juvenile eastern newts are actually called “red efts”!
@@StudioFlimpo Thank you so much for reading and responding :) the group of animators is very good and I have been following them for a while, and I swear it is worth it, you are all fantastic.
Honestly this is a heartwarming story definately worthy of a small award
This is a very darling short film. 🧡 The art and the chorus of insects really make it look and sound like playing in the woods in the summer. The character designs are also very well done. I hope you all are proud of what you made here.
this is so beautiful Aaaaaaaaa, i wish i could have seen something like this when i was younger
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SHORT TO COME OUT AND IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT ‼️
this was so cute!!!! seeing a fun cute twist to a naiad is so refreshing to see! this was wonderfly done!
show friendship can last for years
This is like “Luca”. Water creatures and humans became friends
Congrats on the release! This film is so beautiful, everyone who worked on it did a fantastic job ❤︎
That time skip was brilliant! Great work and very sweet animation!
Keep that pond and the water friend a secret, you don't want the SCP foundation finding out about it. And I mean no disrespect in any way with this statement.
It's just that whenever I see something that isn't natural to humans I automatically go "the SCP foundation needs to capture it" haha, but like I said no disrespect. I love this video
AAAAH I LOVE THIS!!!THE THEME, THE SILLY WATER CREATURE- (Dies of amazing film)
This is such a beautiful animation and story. You guys did an amazing job. I hope to see more from you guys in the future.
This is totally like me with nature I’m different then other people because I’m autistic and think differently then most people do. I also have always had a fascination with, love and understanding for everything in nature. My imagination creates things that most people won’t see or understand that only nature can give me. So this animation is absolutely beautiful and somewhat makes me emotional knowing I can relate to it. Thank you for making this!❤
So beautiful... friends are so important :') it brought me to tears, what a fantastic job!!
Someone make this a full series NOW! I don’t care how much money we have to throw in! I will gladly do it if we can get more cute stuff like this with Jaime and Eft. Please? 🥺
If you knew what newts were really like... This short would be way less wholesome... Because Newts and sex changes mix in a very different way...
Heartwarming story and sweet animation! The colors are gorgeous.
Absolutely wonderous animation! That was a very nice and heartwarming story
What an absolutely adorable animation. The love that went into this, the technique and the compassion. Fantastic job!
Such a wholesome vibe :] thank you for gracing my afternoon with this piece of joy
Beautifully animated and heart-warming!!!! Always so excited to see content from yall!!!
Eft reminds me of Vee and the Basilisks from The Owl House
Absolutely wonderful!
that was very sweet. wonderful animation, thank you for sharing
Is it just me or is the art style kind of reminiscent to Lilo and Stitch? Great animation.
That's just plain cute! I love it!
That could be a best story book for all children especially Adults.
Back in my time in school, we read books while listening the story in audio cassettes.
Hahah ya no
Oh yeah I used to do that in class too, this would be a sweet little story for that :]
@@Lycan_of_1941 let’s be honest in here. I don’t think their parents would like that.
Oh my god everything about this is great! The animation, the voice acting, the music, I love it!
oh I love this so much, 10/10, thank you for this work of art!
This was heartwarming.
Thanks I needed it.
Waghhhh this was an amazing short so sweeet and so many cool scenes everything is so cooool!!!
i LOVED this animation! Good job to everyone that worked on this
That was super freaking awesome! I really enjoyed the heartwarming story and awesome animation!
I liked the end!👏It’s merely amazing! In fact, the whole film is very cool and warm-hearted!
This is beautiful!! i love the desings!
This is such a wonderful story! The message that even if you don't fit in now, just keep looking for your tribe!
this was so so lovely. great story, great animation
This is so good, smooth and good vibes all round, felt like no time at all didn’t feel like it was 4 minutes, good work! ❤
she studio on my flimpo till i tally hall reference
what does this mean i only speak american
@@connors3356 she studio on my flimpo till i tally hall reference
i tried to get my friend who speaks spanish to translate this and he said "i'm not your friend, please leave me alone" what a strange sentence
This is so lovelyyy and heartwarming
just incredible!!!
So cute, thanks for the free smiles.
Beautiful!
I like that he's not seen as a demon
Insanely stunning job Studio Flimpo!!
Wowwwww so lovely. I especially loved the backgrounds! The whole film makes me want to go rewatch Luca.
I like that there based on a eastern newt
I thought its gonna be a sad ending, it made me realize how dark the stuff is i usually watch
Gorgeous!
This is an awesome animation, be proud of yourselfs
I'm not trans myself but I relate to Jamie in the way they have difficulties with socializing. Really sweet story!
I like the artstyle and the design of the orange newt human thing
1:44 His stomach is so round and cute 😊
This is so cuuuutteeee!!!
this was so sweet and lovely. well done!
This is awesome! Amazing job!
A truly strong friendship can transcend the barriers of species and last through the test of time
little did they all know is that when that species of humanoid salamander gets stressed they release an extremely high dose of cosmic radiation
I feed on cosmic radiation
Omg it looks so amazing!
Cute! Lovely work
It was nice until the two charecters that look like typical cartoon bullies showed up. Then I`m thinking "Oh no! Theyll probably beat up that cute little newt while the poor girl watches in horror and despare!" Then to find out one of them was probably the little girl in the past! It was relieving, but I almost had a heart attack.
Eft and Jamie make me feel super heard, I relate way too much to Jamie “saying the wrong things”.
Nice work. A really charming story🔥🔥🔥
I would love to see more of Jamie
