A south indian movie called 777 Charlie have a same story movie... and i cried my eyes out when i watch that. Not gonna lie but now i am afraid to raise a dog because i have lost 4 dogs and i Don't have courage to go through same pain
I knew, 5 seconds in, that I should NOT watch this. Every second I watched, I knew I should NOT continue. Even at the end, as I could barely see the screen through my tears, I knew I should NOT have watched this. Yet... The amazing tenderness, the beautiful art direction, the palpable love in every frame of this animation prompted me to watch until the very end. Totti would be proud to have such an amazing memorial. I wish I could express the love I have for those I have lost so poignantly. Thank you for adding beauty to the world.
@@judeirwin2222 Another great truth: there will always be someone to minimize your feelings to make themselves feel superior. Thank you for belittling my experience.
omg i thought the same thing!!! i kept watching, as if hypnotized by the film, the story, the art and could not be pulled away, and cried my eyes out to the very, very end
The thing is… that energy link, that vital thread can break, but after death, there are moments when you feel the loved one so close, so loving near you. Love doesn’t die. It just takes on a new form. If you remain open in your spirit and allow those transcendent moments to speak to you, you will experience such beauty and such joy. As one who has lost the love of my life and navigated grief, I promise you, it is so.
This film is beautiful. The animation, the painting-like style and the lighting. The symbolism and the sheer weight of the line "why him?" The run scenes and the emotion. It's all beautiful. I LOVE THE TOTTI AND THE TOTTI LOVES MEEEEEEE
The “why him” made me bawl. My rabbit wasn’t a dog but she was my best friend. My Willow. She passed early last year and the one thing I said when I saw her was “Why her?” Then I held her and cried.

As I am watching this, I am crying so hard that my dog felt the need to get up from his blanket to comfort me. he has been the best boy I ever had. He is healthy but he is getting old. I will enjoy every day we have left.
I've lost two dogs to cancer. It sucks so hard. I was told a poem. When you lose a dog, it takes a piece of your heart with it. When you rescue a new dog, it gives you a piece of its heart, so when you die, your heart is all dog.
I love the aesthetic of the movie, it looks like it was done with watercolor paint and I love how the owner and the dog were bound together spiritually
Those are some potent onions you're cutting, man. 😭 Jokes aside. I'm so sorry for your loss. Losing a pet is one of the hardest things you can through, especially when it's not their time. 💔 This film is beautifully crafted. Such an amazing tribute. It's clear that Totti was so very loved, and I'm sure he felt it. Thank you for sharing this. 💜
I don’t cry too often. And yet I’m crying. Good job, you made a person that hardly cries, cry. That just goes to show how heartwarming and emotional this is
The animation is literally **DEPRESSING**; not the animation exactly but the colouring and lighting. The message it has and the story is great! He lost the dog; crying in sorrow of losing him! but still they have the golden memories of him with him... Also the detail about the bond between Toddi and owner gives this movie more speciality in itself!
My dog passed away a few years ago, she loves to run, and this hit me on another level, all the emotions came rushing back. Beautiful, but I’m crying now
I expected this to be sad, but not that sad that i would cry. The thing im most scared of as a dog owner, is losing my beloved Cooper. I see him as family and will do anything for him to be healthy, but this film made me realize that one day, i will have to say goodbye to him. I will miss him when the time comes, so for now, im going to make his life has good as possible so he can rest happy. This film may be heart wrenching, but it was beautifully done. The back grounds, lighting, story and everything, just made it feel more.. real. The happy scenes were happy, the sad scenes were sad, it was perfectly done. The animators that worked on this have done a great job. Overall, would i watch this again? Yes, would i cry each time? Yes.
Okay. From storyboards to the final, I always melt and cry all the tears I have. Man this is the most beautiful love declaration I've ever seen. I'm the happiest for being part of this huge and amazing team. Can't thank you enough for this adventure Shad. Congrats everyone for this magic work
I love how much he tries to avoid losing his dog. It's true. We'd do whatever we could to avoid that last goodbye. I have three babies now and I can't imagine life without them. I hope I won't have to for many more years.
You are telling my story with this beautiful work of art. My "Totti" is my dearest ever love, Beau, my 11 yo standard poodle who is hanging in there, but fighting a horrid disease that prevents his body from absorbing most of the nutrients from food. He's lost 14 lbs, and is so frail--even his skinny body resembles Totti's. As sick as he has become, Beau even now siezes any opportunity he finds to run. He has always loved to and lives to run. Frequently, people comment on how beautiful it is to see him run. I've made rigorously caring for him my #1 priority, and he is a really picky eater. I cook high end steaks and chicken for him 2 or 3 times a day. I take him with me everywhere I go. He cannot stand not being right by my side. It's like your film captures the identical soul of my love bond with Beau. Produced many tears--for Beau and me, for Totti and you. Nothing hurts worse. I keep thinking that I won't know how to live without him while I'm ajusting to live with a breaking heart. Blessings and peace~I understand, and I'm so sorry. 🐾
I had a song I used to sing to my dog before she ran away, too. All she ever wanted to do was run. She can run as much as she likes now. I will always love you, Ruby.
I started crying after seeing the real Totti at the end. People, do everything to avoid illness from taking over your pet. Sometimes, despite all that we do, there is a negligence somewhere, sometimes. It happens usually with pet owners who have a busy lifestyle. Fill their life with happiness. A happy pet is a healthy pet.
how I was expecting this to turn out: a normal progression of time, Totti running through the fields. finally, during a usually run, Totti collapses and when the farmer runs up to see what's wrong, but this time we notice some stubble on his face, a beard, something to mark that time has passed and the farmer is older. how it turned out: Totti didn't get to live too long but spent all his days with the farmer living the best life possible. Death comes swooping in (kinda literally) and my heart is wrenched out of my chest seeing the farmer fighting to come to terms with it. this is what film is all about. thank you for making me cry, sometimes we all need emotional release.
The symbolism of the thread, it breaking, but leaving behind all the memories where they used to run and work. Death being not only small, but big and terrifying. Even fighting death with a synth! This was filled with beauty ❤ and showed the joy, pain, and growth of having a pet. They are not just a friend or coworker. They are our Totti ❤
I came into this thinking, "Huh, this isn't so sad" When the film ended, my face was covered in tears. This film shows how attached people can get to their dogs. This film is spot - on 😭💖😭💖😭💖
This short film is absolutely beautiful and moving! It shows the bond of a human and a dog. You 've got to let them go after many years together, but the loving memories are living on. They love to run and play. As long as it's with you. You will always have a very special place in my heart, Sally!❤
I've never lost a dog, but I've lost many beloved cats over my 22 years of life. I really felt the emotion in this film, and I can't express how much I understood so well straight from the get go. This is beautifully done, animation and it's talented artists never ceases to impress me ♡
Damn, I got a face in my tears... This short brings so many memories, everyone who had a loving pet that passed away should watch it, it's so wonderful!!! Excellent work ❤️
Most films can't make me cry, but damn... I had a dream one time where I saw one of my dogs who had recently got hit and killed my a car, I immediately ran to hug her and it was so real, when I woke up I could still feel her fur in my hands... I miss that dog!
This is one of the most heart-wrenching, beautiful things I have ever seen. I cannot stop crying for Totti and my lost love-dog, Shayna Rose. The colorization and animation are absolutely glorious. It is mesmerizing and spiritual in the loving and the darkness and the letting-go. I fervently hope you and your animation team find great success.♥♥♥
So, here I am, a 63 yo trying to find something interesting to watch this evening. I find this. This ripped me apart. Loss brings new beginnings, but memories die hard. Imagine this on the big screen and all the people walk out of the theater trying to cover their eyes and act like they are cool, unaffected by this. If you are unaffected by this, you need help because there is noting inside you. This should have won an award...Priceless! Great job!
Absolutely touching story. Sadly, it is a true that our beloved ones may leave us, but they will live in our hearts forever. And someday we will most certainly reunite.
This is absolutely beautiful since losing a close furry friend who would've been 17 years this September- Life is literally in a blink of an eye, especially when our four-legged friends don't live as long as we do🥺🐾💔 Thank you for making this beautiful artwork💗
Cherish, Love and Always Remember your pets because they are sparks of pure joy in our lives no matter how short time we have with them. Thank you for making this video. It truly conveys the feelings only a person that loved their pet deeply will understand.
Hurts when our best friend dies...and s friend like totti always makes any day better...thank you for bringing back my best friend through your videos...
I hadn't ugly cried like that in ages, from sad to happy to just... can't breathe through my nose anymore. What a beautiful story. And beautiful memories.
Glad to know I’m not alone in the “can’t breathe through the nose right now” club. This honestly was incredibly painful to watch. Especially the part where they’re trying to run from death. The first dog I ever owned passed away a couple years ago and I’m trying to ignore the fact that death is likely to greet my other beloved dog in the next couple years. Definitely had to relive some of the emotions during this.
@@isabellarussell4407 I’m with you on this one. I’m currently in bed, drenched in tears, can’t breathe and ugly crying. This pulled all of the strings in me 😢
Holy moly, I don't even own a dog and this git me so, so hard! Utter ugly crying and bawling into tissues! This is so, so beautiful and amazing, yet so emotional and heart-wrenching! You did an absolutely brilliant job with this!
Thank you for showing the love between a boy and his dog. You want to protect your fri end, but can’t. This is the most painful hurt of all. RIP my best friend, run free.😢❤
My dog is 12 years old, I can’t avoid thinking when she was not there with us anymore and this film bring tears running my face, the message is clear, we have to let them go and we must to remember them with joy and happiness, they don’t want to see us sad or suffering, RIP Totti, thanks for the film to all of you made this possible (sorry my bad English, I’m from South America) bye ! 🙏
This one hits so, so hard. Thanks to everyone who helped bring this story to life so you could share it with us. It's a tribute to anyone who has ever loved a dog and to the dogs who love them back.
You should make episodes with Totti. I'm laying next to my husband crying my ever loving eyes out. What a excellent short movie. Please I would love to see more. Like little lessons of love, generosity, helping someone, etc.. thank you for this. I have a dog named hennessy and she's a pit bull and she's my life. I got up and I hugged her crying.
the story itself brings out painful memories but also the joy that comes along with it. i love the film very much, and i am grateful the team are able to make it this far! kudos to everyone involved in the making of this project!
My mother also passed away recently... I also did everything on this earth to save her.... 😞 She is my life she is my happiness... Now everything is empty... Missing her so much that words can't describe....
Hi! I can’t imagine how hard it is right now but please remember it is only the human body that dies. Your mommy is still alive and well and you WILL be with her again when it is your time. I love a quote from The Little Prince that talks about death and how the physical body left behind after death is like an old, abandoned shell…and The Little Prince says “what’s so sad about old shells” ❤️❤️❤️ Things will get better and I promise your mom is better than ever, more alive than ever! And is with you and smiling down on you and doesn’t want you to be sad for you will be reunited again ❤️
It’s very rare for a video to make me cry, but I think every pet owner who’s lost a pet has felt the emotions this young man had. So heartbreaking, yet the ending was bittersweet
Literally just made me cry like a little bitch, cause we just lost our family dog about a month ago. He was like my little brother, my dear Ziggy. One of the best friends I’ll ever have.
Oh wow! Was Ein Miesterwerk! Ich bin sprachlos (auch vor tränen) diese Angst, das geliebte Haustier zu verlieren und dann vielleicht doch zu wissen, dass es besser für das Tier ist, wird einfach sooooo toll rübergebracht. Ich habe selbst zwei unglaublich anhängliche Katzen. Und ich kann mir ein Leben ohne sie gar nicht mehr vorstellen. ❤️ Ruhe in Frieden, Totti.
Words cannot express how saddened I am to see about your loss..😩 pets are like family and loosing them is so hard.totti was such an obedient, strong and adorable dog i've ever seen❣️. after seeing this I really miss my dog who passed away 2 years ago🥺😥😭. Higley appreciation to this masterpiece you've created 🌷.
I watched this with my grandchildren and we were all crying and hugging our dogs. It's just so moving. They all have one small dog each. This movie truly captures the amazing love and joy that they bring you, but also the terrible heartbreak as well. We cry our hearts out, and then get another wonderful dog
I'd like to say THANK YOU FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL FILM! My Momi passed away and shortly after that my most loyal fur baby, Princess Peaches died, at age 14. I felt like I haven't properly mourned Peaches. The grief of losing my Mum, overwhelmed everything else. My Mum would sneak PP into the ICU when my cancer treatments weren't going so great. That adorable lil Pomeranian floof, would curl up right over my heart and sleep with me. She never left my side. I MISS MY LIL FLOOF SO MUCH! Thanks to this film... I'm able to cry sincerely & mourn. THANK YOU 🩷🧡🩷🧡🩷🧡🩷🧡🩷
This short film had so much love life and and feeling. It made me feel the loss of loved ones again. We only feel this when we love. Thank you for a beautiful film:The story, the art work and the way it was told. Just lovely 💔❤
oh my god, I'm crying, so many thoughts in my head. Thank you for making such wonderful animations, it warms the soul. It's always hard to say goodbye to your pets. But apparently now, I realized that over time it needs to be done. Thank you again.💗
Man, the last half of it, when they’re escaping death, made me remember my first dog. Then when the memories started playing back in the video, it made me cry thinking of her. Just like he loved running, she loved swimming.
i was wondering why I began weeping so hard at this, even minutes after I’d finished the video, but I realized at the back of my mind it’s the thought of losing my two precious babies that taunts me, i seriously can not imagine my life without them, they truly saved me, and my most heartfelt, truest condolences to anyone who has lost one of their babies, too. just know they can run forever now ❤
This short can be described with many words, but the one that summarizes them all to me is PERFECTION...at every level. It is catchy, funny, engaging, touching, with such beautiful characters and environments...amazing work from the riggers and the animators. I've enjoyed It so much, it's spectacular. Congratulations to the whole team.
I used this short film today for my elementary writing class. They got to see a short film that had a much deeper feeling to it than the usual fun loving that glosses over loss and heartache. They have been talking about how these feelings are things they have felt but didn't know what they were till watching this. Great film and amazing lesson for little minds.
Had to say goodbye to my sweet boy about four years ago now. He "told" me it was okay, but it still hurts. I was raised with that dog, he was my best friend. I think I'll miss him till the day I die. Beautiful animation!
When he hugs Totti goodbye the floodgates opened. I started to recover when the animation ended but then the actual pictures and footage of Totti started and I lost it. Hugged my dog for a solid 5 minutes knowing that in 14 years (if we're lucky) shes going to break my heart just like this, she had no clue why I was crying but she was up for cuddles 😅 Thanks for this animation, its a powerful reminder of the bond we share with our dogs and how much they fuse with our souls ❤️
This is stunning. The bond and trying to escape death that always feels too soon. That break when it finally comes... Then all these memories . It's heartbreaking but really sums up the beautiful relationship of having a dog. Thank you ❤
This is so good because it makes you feel things that most animations don’t. It’s really great when you find these kinds of gifted people out there that can create such beautiful works of art. Thank you for your time you spent on making this it’s really amazing❤🎉. For the record this did make me cry like 5 times lol. My grandmas cat and I were imprinted to each other and this reminds me of that relationship. He still revisits me sometimes in my dreams and nightmares now and then. Did you know there’s a place where all pets that die go for each species?! There’s a house in the shape of a cat for cats. All the cats that ever died go there and live their afterlives there in happiness!
This made me cry, it reminded me of when my own dog died from cancer and all I want to to is see him one last time, I didn’t even get to say goodbye.it’s one of the hardest things about being a pet owner.
I can feel the creator's feelings went deep into this. A special connection severed by death, but the memories we hold dear forever in the ❤. A very touching film. 😭🤧
Making me cry at 3am 😭😭😭 I know that feeling of helplessness when you do all you can to help them but they still fade away. But the precious memories you shared will never fade. This was beautifully.. miss my boy🐶 ❤🕊
I know and can clearly see that everyone is pointing out how sad this is, But I gotta just say the design of those reaper things was SO COOL!!! And gives you this doomed feeling deep within yourself. The design was awesome with the black feathers, white eyes and large hat, then when the hat turned out to be actually wings! It makes the creatures appear to actually be angles which took his dog to heaven, while also being still very creepy as death is a very dark and mournful time. Truely awesome creativity, I envy not coming up with such a cool design!
Glad you liked them. Originally the story took place in Japan so they were designed after umbrellas. We later referenced the black heron which are pretty cool birds that should Google. :)
I absolutely love it!! It was such a pleasure to be part of such a beautiful story and to get to know these characters so well. Thank you again for that privilege :) Amazing work to all involved!!
I have a dog named libby she doesnt have much time left so this film simply made me realize one day ill have to say goodbye to my best friend, but being missed so much is the price to pay for being loved so dearly.
Beautiful film! I'm forever thankful for the opportunity to be a part of this alongside such incredible talent around the world! The art and animation and music came together in a powerful way.
Literally was a heart warming flim . Literally made me wanna cry 😢 I know how he felt letting toty go . But there love was so strong he came back to visit him 🥹🥹🥹
Thank you all so much for this. I hope this leads to so much success in all of your futures. This is so beautiful heartfelt, and it feels like a story that needed to be told ❤
My god. I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope making this helped you on your journey of healing. Thank you for making and sharing something this personal. It was truly amazing.
This is an exceptional piece of story telling. Heart rendingly sad, but most exceptional stories are. Don't ever quit film making. You have a rare talent.
When you find out your dog has cancer.
The love, the battles, the good-bye, the deep soul-wrenching sadness, the memories.
On point.

11:04. The time i started crying my eyes out.

I, I’m so sorry 💔
im sorry for your loss, i had 2 dogs that i had for 4 years but one died from old age and the other died from drinking the toilet
That is so wholesome.
I just couldn't stop crying at the end. It's just too hard to say goodbye to someone you love so much
I can't explain how grateful I am to have participated in this project and how much I learned and grew as an animator from all the team
Must say it could not have been done any better!
Well done sergi sir
It is beautiful. Thank you for helping people feel deeply.
Thank you so much for making it. It's sad but so much love inside. 👍 Greetings from Kyrgyzstan.
Hermoso trabajo. felicidades y gracias 🙏🍀☀️❤️
Didn't expect to cry today, but here we are. 10/10 movie
I love the aesthetic of the movie, it looks like it was done with watercolor paint and I love how the owner and the dog were bound together spiritually
I loved that too the ling between them was represented wonderfully !
Yes,that's right 😊
I love your profile pic Hooty is an amazing and lovable character😊
Also, your comment is valid❤
Those are some potent onions you're cutting, man. 😭
Jokes aside. I'm so sorry for your loss. Losing a pet is one of the hardest things you can through, especially when it's not their time. 💔

I don’t cry too often.
And yet I’m crying. Good job, you made a person that hardly cries, cry. That just goes to show how heartwarming and emotional this is
Same thing. I don’t like crying, but I couldn’t hold it, now there’s a river of all the bottled up emotions I kept saving.
I always end up tearing up a little during these types of films, but this one was different. I was actually crying, like a lot. 😢
Same, the loss of a pet hits hard for me.
This made my cry up a river of tears and i never cry to animsted things. Especially 11:04 just made me super sad.
Same thing. This was truly a one of a kind experience
The animation is literally **DEPRESSING**; not the animation exactly but the colouring and lighting.
The message it has and the story is great! He lost the dog; crying in sorrow of losing him! but still they have the golden memories of him with him...

Love that dog!
What a heartwarming tribute.
I’m bawling my eyes out right now, what a beautiful film
What happend to the dog
Totti is too precious 😭😭😭
i love that dog to and the dog is so cute and kind
That's an awesome job at making Totti immortal. My faith in humanity is restored.
My dog passed away a few years ago, she loves to run, and this hit me on another level, all the emotions came rushing back.
Beautiful, but I’m crying now
I’m so sorry for your loss 😭
The link between a loved dog and his owner can never be broken.😢
Crying her too, hugs
I am so sorry .
But your cat will always be in your heart.
I expected this to be sad, but not that sad that i would cry. The thing im most scared of as a dog owner, is losing my beloved Cooper. I see him as family and will do anything for him to be healthy, but this film made me realize that one day, i will have to say goodbye to him. I will miss him when the time comes, so for now, im going to make his life has good as possible so he can rest happy.

You are telling my story with this beautiful work of art. My "Totti" is my dearest ever love, Beau, my 11 yo standard poodle who is hanging in there, but fighting a horrid disease that prevents his body from absorbing most of the nutrients from food. He's lost 14 lbs, and is so frail--even his skinny body resembles Totti's. As sick as he has become, Beau even now siezes any opportunity he finds to run. He has always loved to and lives to run. Frequently, people comment on how beautiful it is to see him run. I've made rigorously caring for him my #1 priority, and he is a really picky eater. I cook high end steaks and chicken for him 2 or 3 times a day. I take him with me everywhere I go. He cannot stand not being right by my side.
It's like your film captures the identical soul of my love bond with Beau. Produced many tears--for Beau and me, for Totti and you. Nothing hurts worse. I keep thinking that I won't know how to live without him while I'm ajusting to live with a breaking heart. Blessings and peace~I understand, and

how I was expecting this to turn out: a normal progression of time, Totti running through the fields. finally, during a usually run, Totti collapses and when the farmer runs up to see what's wrong, but this time we notice some stubble on his face, a beard, something to mark that time has passed and the farmer is older.
how it turned out: Totti didn't get to live too long but spent all his days with the farmer living the best life possible. Death comes swooping in (kinda literally) and my heart is wrenched out of my chest seeing the farmer fighting to come to terms with it.
this is what film is all about. thank you for making me cry, sometimes we all need emotional release.
The symbolism of the thread, it breaking, but leaving behind all the memories where they used to run and work. Death being not only small, but big and terrifying. Even fighting death with a synth! This was filled with beauty ❤ and showed the joy, pain, and growth of having a pet. They are not just a friend or coworker. They are our Totti ❤
I came into this thinking, "Huh, this isn't so sad"
When the film ended, my face was covered in tears. This film shows how attached people can get to their dogs. This film is spot - on 😭💖😭💖😭💖
This short film is absolutely beautiful and moving! It shows the bond of a human and a dog. You 've got to let them go after many years together, but the loving memories are living on. They love to run and play. As long as it's with you. You will always have a very special place in my heart, Sally!❤
Here before it's 5 years later, this is heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time, it's a master piece
I've never lost a dog, but I've lost many beloved cats over my 22 years of life. I really felt the emotion in this film, and I can't express how much I understood so well straight from the get go. This is beautifully done, animation and it's talented artists never ceases to impress me ♡
Damn, I got a face in my tears... This short brings so many memories, everyone who had a loving pet that passed away should watch it, it's so wonderful!!! Excellent work ❤️
IKR : )🐕
right in the feels
Most films can't make me cry, but damn... I had a dream one time where I saw one of my dogs who had recently got hit and killed my a car, I immediately ran to hug her and it was so real, when I woke up I could still feel her fur in my hands... I miss that dog!
This is one of the most heart-wrenching, beautiful things I have ever seen. I cannot stop crying for Totti and my lost love-dog, Shayna Rose. The colorization and animation are absolutely glorious. It is mesmerizing and spiritual in the loving and the darkness and the letting-go. I fervently hope you and your animation team find great success.♥♥♥
So, here I am, a 63 yo trying to find something interesting to watch this evening. I find this. This ripped me apart. Loss brings new beginnings, but memories die hard. Imagine this on the big screen and all the people walk out of the theater trying to cover their eyes and act like they are cool, unaffected by this. If you are unaffected by this, you need help because there is noting inside you. This should have won an award...Priceless! Great job!
It’s going to absolutely break me when Bo passes. He’s already showing signs his time is coming. I love Totti. And I can’t stop crying lol
Wow. That was INSANE, the pictures were beautiful. RIP totti. good job honestly!
Absolutely touching story.
Sadly, it is a true that our beloved ones may leave us, but they will live in our hearts forever. And someday we will most certainly reunite.
This is absolutely beautiful since losing a close furry friend who would've been 17 years this September- Life is literally in a blink of an eye, especially when our four-legged friends don't live as long as we do🥺🐾💔
Thank you for making this beautiful artwork💗
Cherish, Love and Always Remember your pets because they are sparks of pure joy in our lives no matter how short time we have with them.
Thank you for making this video. It truly conveys the feelings only a person that loved their pet deeply will understand.
Hurts when our best friend dies...and s friend like totti always makes any day better...thank you for bringing back my best friend through your videos...
I hadn't ugly cried like that in ages, from sad to happy to just... can't breathe through my nose anymore.
What a beautiful story. And beautiful memories.
Glad to know I’m not alone in the “can’t breathe through the nose right now” club. This honestly was incredibly painful to watch. Especially the part where they’re trying to run from death. The first dog I ever owned passed away a couple years ago and I’m trying to ignore the fact that death is likely to greet my other beloved dog in the next couple years. Definitely had to relive some of the emotions during this.
@@isabellarussell4407 I’m with you on this one. I’m currently in bed, drenched in tears, can’t breathe and ugly crying. This pulled all of the strings in me 😢
ugly crying with snot and tears, so thankful its my off day otherwise imagine hidding in the pantry crying like this... goodness
FragiIe
Holy moly, I don't even own a dog and this git me so, so hard! Utter ugly crying and bawling into tissues! This is so, so beautiful and amazing, yet so emotional and heart-wrenching! You did an absolutely brilliant job with this!
Way to go Shad and team. It turned out great! What a touching, sweet story.
Thanks Bobby! This project owes a lot to you and Artella!
Thank you for showing the love between a boy and his dog. You want to protect your fri end, but can’t. This is the most painful hurt of all. RIP my best friend, run free.😢❤
My dog is 12 years old, I can’t avoid thinking when she was not there with us anymore and this film bring tears running my face, the message is clear, we have to let them go and we must to remember them with joy and happiness, they don’t want to see us sad or suffering, RIP Totti, thanks for the film to all of you made this possible (sorry my bad English, I’m from South America) bye ! 🙏
YOU DID NOT NEED TO MAKE ME CRY TODAY (also the animation was beautiful)
Oh, oh, but yes you did. You did need to make me cry
Such a beautiful tribute. Totti was an awesome office mate. Rest in peace.
Totti running to the moon. 😭😭 Now I'm bawling at 2 in the morning. A heartbreaking but heartwarming animation. Kudos to everyone, amazing work.
This one hits so, so hard. Thanks to everyone who helped bring this story to life so you could share it with us. It's a tribute to anyone who has ever loved a dog and to the dogs who love them back.
You should make episodes with Totti. I'm laying next to my husband crying my ever loving eyes out. What a excellent short movie. Please I would love to see more. Like little lessons of love, generosity, helping someone, etc.. thank you for this. I have a dog named hennessy and she's a pit bull and she's my life. I got up and I hugged her crying.
the story itself brings out painful memories but also the joy that comes along with it. i love the film very much, and i am grateful the team are able to make it this far! kudos to everyone involved in the making of this project!
This has officially yonked the tears out of me. I lost my puppy and I can see the bond people have is everlasting. 😭
My mother also passed away recently... I also did everything on this earth to save her.... 😞 She is my life she is my happiness... Now everything is empty... Missing her so much that words can't describe....
Losing your mom is crazy hard (I know) but she’s with you and loves you always ❤ wishing you peace and comfort
I’m so sorry for your profound loss. Wishing you peace and healing
Hi! I can’t imagine how hard it is right now but please remember it is only the human body that dies. Your mommy is still alive and well and you WILL be with her again when it is your time. I love a quote from The Little Prince that talks about death and how the physical body left behind after death is like an old, abandoned shell…and The Little Prince says “what’s so sad about old shells” ❤️❤️❤️ Things will get better and I promise your mom is better than ever, more alive than ever! And is with you and smiling down on you and doesn’t want you to be sad for you will be reunited again ❤️
God keep her soul always happy
It’s very rare for a video to make me cry, but I think every pet owner who’s lost a pet has felt the emotions this young man had. So heartbreaking, yet the ending was bittersweet
Proud to be a part of it, for my smallest contribution. Thanks Shad , for giving me an opportunity to work on it 🙏
Literally just made me cry like a little bitch, cause we just lost our family dog about a month ago. He was like my little brother, my dear Ziggy. One of the best friends I’ll ever have.
So proud to have been a part of this awesome project!
When I worked on this I was pregnant, now I get to sit and watch it with her as a 3 year old!
Oh wow! Was Ein Miesterwerk! Ich bin sprachlos (auch vor tränen) diese Angst, das geliebte Haustier zu verlieren und dann vielleicht doch zu wissen, dass es besser für das Tier ist, wird einfach sooooo toll rübergebracht.
Ich habe selbst zwei unglaublich anhängliche Katzen. Und ich kann mir ein Leben ohne sie gar nicht mehr vorstellen. ❤️
Ruhe in Frieden, Totti.
I'm not crying... not crying. (melts in to a puddle).
This is amazing and as an aspiring animator myself the hard work that went into this is amazing.
Words cannot express how saddened I am to see about your loss..😩 pets are like family and loosing them is so hard.totti was such an obedient, strong and adorable dog i've ever seen❣️. after seeing this I really miss my dog who passed away 2 years ago🥺😥😭.
Higley appreciation to this masterpiece you've created 🌷.
I watched this with my grandchildren and we were all crying and hugging our dogs. It's just so moving. They all have one small dog each. This movie truly captures the amazing love and joy that they bring you, but also the terrible heartbreak as well. We cry our hearts out, and then get another wonderful dog
I'd like to say THANK YOU FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL FILM! My Momi passed away and shortly after that my most loyal fur baby, Princess Peaches died, at age 14. I felt like I haven't properly mourned Peaches. The grief of losing my Mum, overwhelmed everything else. My Mum would sneak PP into the ICU when my cancer treatments weren't going so great. That adorable lil Pomeranian floof, would curl up right over my heart and sleep with me. She never left my side. I MISS MY LIL FLOOF SO MUCH! Thanks to this film... I'm able to cry sincerely & mourn. THANK YOU 🩷🧡🩷🧡🩷🧡🩷🧡🩷
This short film had so much love life and and feeling. It made me feel the loss of loved ones again. We only feel this when we love. Thank you for a beautiful film:The story, the art work and the way it was told. Just lovely 💔❤
He's my......Totti. This sentence filled my eyes with tears. Such a touching and beautiful story.
oh my god, I'm crying, so many thoughts in my head. Thank you for making such wonderful animations, it warms the soul. It's always hard to say goodbye to your pets. But apparently now, I realized that over time it needs to be done. Thank you again.💗
Man, the last half of it, when they’re escaping death, made me remember my first dog. Then when the memories started playing back in the video, it made me cry thinking of her. Just like he loved running, she loved swimming.
I love how the glowing line *signifies* the dog having a leash, yet, he’s still allowed to roam wherever he wants.
i was wondering why I began weeping so hard at this, even minutes after I’d finished the video, but I realized at the back of my mind it’s the thought of losing my two precious babies that taunts me, i seriously can not imagine my life without them, they truly saved me, and my most heartfelt, truest condolences to anyone who has lost one of their babies, too. just know they can run forever now ❤
This short can be described with many words, but the one that summarizes them all to me is PERFECTION...at every level. It is catchy, funny, engaging, touching, with such beautiful characters and environments...amazing work from the riggers and the animators. I've enjoyed It so much, it's spectacular. Congratulations to the whole team.
Yes it like bottled the feeling the love of a dog gives you, and now when we need it we can come back here and watch it
I used this short film today for my elementary writing class. They got to see a short film that had a much deeper feeling to it than the usual fun loving that glosses over loss and heartache. They have been talking about how these feelings are things they have felt but didn't know what they were till watching this. Great film and amazing lesson for little minds.
such a beautiful story...❤
Rest In Peace Totti.
There are people who love you including me ❤
Had to say goodbye to my sweet boy about four years ago now. He "told" me it was okay, but it still hurts. I was raised with that dog, he was my best friend. I think I'll miss him till the day I die. Beautiful animation!
So happy to see it out!! I'm so grateful for the opportunity to be part of this project.
When he hugs Totti goodbye the floodgates opened. I started to recover when the animation ended but then the actual pictures and footage of Totti started and I lost it. Hugged my dog for a solid 5 minutes knowing that in 14 years (if we're lucky) shes going to break my heart just like this, she had no clue why I was crying but she was up for cuddles 😅
Thanks for this animation, its a powerful reminder of the bond we share with our dogs and how much they fuse with our souls ❤️
This is stunning. The bond and trying to escape death that always feels too soon. That break when it finally comes... Then all these memories . It's heartbreaking but really sums up the beautiful relationship of having a dog. Thank you ❤
I actually cried.. I barely cry at anything, ever. And this did it. A job well done.
This is so good because it makes you feel things that most animations don’t. It’s really great when you find these kinds of gifted people out there that can create such beautiful works of art. Thank you for your time you spent on making this it’s really amazing❤🎉. For the record this did make me cry like 5 times lol. My grandmas cat and I were imprinted to each other and this reminds me of that relationship. He still revisits me sometimes in my dreams and nightmares now and then. Did you know there’s a place where all pets that die go for each species?! There’s a house in the shape of a cat for cats. All the cats that ever died go there and live their afterlives there in happiness!
This made me cry, it reminded me of when my own dog died from cancer and all I want to to is see him one last time, I didn’t even get to say goodbye.it’s one of the hardest things about being a pet owner.
I can feel the creator's feelings went deep into this. A special connection severed by death, but the memories we hold dear forever in the ❤.
A very touching film. 😭🤧
I thought it was gonna be a cute, goofy dog story... omg did I cry. Cuddles your furbabies and appreciate them before they're gone ❤
Awesome, I'm so glad to see it shared with the world! Sending love and congrats to all the talented artists who worked on this film!
The final shot is a killer Anton. I'm jealous of your skills.
Making me cry at 3am 😭😭😭 I know that feeling of helplessness when you do all you can to help them but they still fade away. But the precious memories you shared will never fade. This was beautifully.. miss my boy🐶 ❤🕊
I'm so grateful for the opportunity to be part of this project and really happy that is finally out !!
Your story is a beautiful reminder that we should always HONOR our past pets, like we HONOR our families!
I know and can clearly see that everyone is pointing out how sad this is,
But I gotta just say the design of those reaper things was SO COOL!!!
And gives you this doomed feeling deep within yourself.
The design was awesome with the black feathers, white eyes and large hat, then when the hat turned out to be actually wings! It makes the creatures appear to actually be angles which took his dog to heaven, while also being still very creepy as death is a very dark and mournful time.
Truely awesome creativity,
I envy not coming up with such a cool design!
Glad you liked them. Originally the story took place in Japan so they were designed after umbrellas. We later referenced the black heron which are pretty cool birds that should Google. :)
You can't make a soulless person cry over anything, but this is a exception.
I absolutely love it!! It was such a pleasure to be part of such a beautiful story and to get to know these characters so well. Thank you again for that privilege :) Amazing work to all involved!!
We'll be sending out your shot next week. :)
@@MrShadFish So exciting! 🙌🏻😃
This was so beautiful. I'm crying so much now. Totti was lucky to have found you. Wish you all the best ❤
I have a dog named libby she doesnt have much time left so this film simply made me realize one day ill have to say goodbye to my best friend, but being missed so much is the price to pay for being loved so dearly.
It never ceases to amaze me how animals work their way into our hearts, weave themselves into our very souls.
Beautiful film! I'm forever thankful for the opportunity to be a part of this alongside such incredible talent around the world! The art and animation and music came together in a powerful way.
Literally was a heart warming flim . Literally made me wanna cry 😢 I know how he felt letting toty go . But there love was so strong he came back to visit him 🥹🥹🥹
Thank you all so much for this. I hope this leads to so much success in all of your futures. This is so beautiful heartfelt, and it feels like a story that needed to be told ❤
My god. I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope making this helped you on your journey of healing. Thank you for making and sharing something this personal. It was truly amazing.
That story just made me cry bro like seriously😭
This is an exceptional piece of story telling. Heart rendingly sad, but most exceptional stories are. Don't ever quit film making. You have a rare talent.
