Im going through the passing of my mum and dad.. I only have my brother so I relate a lot to this.. I love the story and the illustration you put into this. Thank you. I have also been following your DeviantArt for about 6 months now. So it was nice finally getting to see this. Thank you for this. It made my day!!
This relates to siblings growing up, things being abit hectic where each likes what they like. They seemed to like alot of different things. The end made me tear up, I saw that the big otter cared alot and was protective for the little otter. This story overall was truly wonderful, tense at the bear part, but truly wonderful! Otters are such cute cuddlers ❤
And in the end, they realized what makes a family truly complete is the love they have for each other. They may not have parents, but they are all that they need. And they lived happily ever after. ❤️❤️
I genuinely can't believe this doesn't have more views. This is such a sweet story, so beautifully drawn and planned, the music is amazing... everything is literally perfection. I show this to everyone ❤︎
The baby brother hasn't lost faith in finding their parents. But he has faith in his brother... believing that having parents or not, they're gonna be okay.
Sometimes we lose our minds when we become distracted or, worse, fixated on earthly needs, whether it be money, gems, or food, away from the people closest to us. But none of this will replace human happiness like being with someone, knowing someone and loving someone as a friend or part of the family, though not by blood, but by right.
Can I say something? You've always been an inspiration to me. It's sounds terrible, but I've been anonymously following you for almost 10 years on Deviant Art. I taught myself to draw as a kid, and I would always check to see what you would post next because it would stoke my imagination. Until my skills took flight, I used to try and mimic your art so I could try to understand what drawing humanoid characters _felt_ like. And I REALLY appreciate your policy to remain SFW. If only more artists had that standard.... While I don't have the finances right now to start sharing my art online, I've started using my skills around my city, even writing and illustrating my own novel! Keep up the amazing work, you are a blessing, an encouragement and a motivation for more people that you know! Merry Christmas!
@@gusazoth Being Safe For Work makes sure that kids aren't being shown any adult content, not only that but being SFW also builds up an opinion about the characters and the artist that drew said characters. In this case, since he found Temiree at a young age, being SFW not only stopped him from being exposed to adult content, but also made him as a very inspirational to the commenter, and I can agree with him! I have another artist that inspires me, but I would like him even more, if he didn't have so much Not Safe For Work content, but it's the artist's choice, and I got to suck it up, and it's his style of art that inspires me, not the content. That's why I'd say that Safe For Work is important for, at least, two things.
I have only just watched it now, and I must say that this is really well-conceived. Really touching story, and nice visuals to accompany it. Great work to both Tem & Foxfall for producing this. :)
Incredible story. The drawings capture every emotion so well. And the sound designs helps bring it all together. This is great stuff. Can't wait to see what you make in the future!
This was otterly beautiful & pulls at the emotional heartstrings. I really enjoyed the animatic & can't wait to see more from you. Thank you for sharing this.
The story made me cry so much. It was so heart felt and too close to home. I would watch again but I'm still hurting from the first time ;w; Wonderfully done Temiree, make us otts proud
Why you make me cry. A beautiful story and work of art that brought me to tears. Fantastic characters and designs which took me on a journey with the characters
Wow, this is really great. I like the character design, I think the otters have really good expressions. Heartwarming story, too. Thanks for all your hard work!
i am beyond blown away. The story, the music, the feelings, the relationship, the message. Its beautiful, perfect, and genius. i will never forget this.
Wonderful animation! I love how you expressed your story with the strength of the characters' actions, rather than through the utilization of dialogue. You've also mastered the technique of incorporating raw and heartfelt emotion into your animations; and I was able to experience genuine sadness, fear, and happiness for these two otters. Great job!
This was such an inspiring film, the amount of thought and effort put into this is impeccable. I was in tears by the end of the movie, this shows that somthing does have to be full color and fully animated to be an incredible peice of media. 5 stars
This is the first time that a animation like this touch my heart and remember to my family that actually are separeted and i cry in this lovely story with no dialogue and is perfect. Sorry for luey and tiger.
even though this is only Animatic but it can make myself and others feel what is being told, In fact this can bring feelings and sometimes I almost cry when watching it😢😢😢
This was so heartfelt for me to watch and you've done a fantastic job with the storytelling without a need for spoken dialogue! We need more animation to follow this format (and not just Pixar heh)
Aww... I'm so sorry that's happening, Pakeshe. :( *hugs back* I'm wishing you both the best! Stay strong for him - it'll make his fight easier! I hope he beats it.
@@Temiree Sadly he lost to is in early Jan, did not get to bury him till early june beside mum. I have a seashell and a little urn of him on the desk beside my monitor to remember him by. I like to think he would have like to have seen this video, but in a way..he is. Thank you again for making this.
You've come such a long way over the years, Tem. You have created something beautiful. Be proud of your accomplishment, and let it inspire you to continue and produce what your imagination can bring. Always enjoyed your artwork, and I greatly admire what you've done.
This is a very deep and emotional story here, although it's an animatic, the execution is what really makes this very memorable and tear-inducingly beautiful! Well done!
This was so amazing. No words was spoken and the story was understandable perfectly, amazing camara shots, amazing music and sfx and an emotional trip. Tem is easy to see your hard work in making this short ( 10 minutes long! I was hoping for a 2 minute video, knowing how hard is to animate but damn! You surprised me in the good way). The words are not enough to express my joy after seeing this short. Thank you for share this with us.
This is a stunning animated short film. Beautifully effective use of visuals, sounds, and music to convey a story and feeling with no dialogue whatsoever. Masterful effort.
Sorry about that! Here's an interpretation from Zele B that was pretty on point for what I was trying to go for: "From what I understand, the story starts when the main characters' (two brothers) parents don't come home from a hunting trip. The implication is meant to be that they died. The older brother, who clearly spent his life with a close bond to the parents, is in extreme denial. His obsession with shiny things is his hope and his belief that they'll come back; they just need to be shown the way. So, he collects a hoard of shiny objects to signal his parents with. The younger brother, however, who was just an infant when the parents went missing, moves on much more easily from their disappearance. He doesn't have the connection or memory to them the older brother does, and so the reality that the parents are not coming back (seen when he hugs his brother the day he stops signalling for them) sets much more easily with him. The older brother, though, doesn't. Up until the watermelon, he spends his days in denial and despair. He becomes stoic, and angry at his younger brother, who no longer seems to care about their parents, if he ever did. The younger brother in turn starts to feel alone and neglected, like his only real companion in life cares more about glass bottles and a fruit then him. The watermelon changes them as it forces the older brother to choose between denial (his parents coming home) and acceptance (throwing away the shiny watermelon to save his brother), as well as showing the younger brother that his sibling does genuinely care about him. While this seems like a simple 'save your family after a bad argument + sad flashbacks' story, it really reads more as a touching tale on grief, grief-created obsessions, unhealthy coping methods, and moving on from mourning a death or general trauma. All of which, in my opinion, were handled with admirable brilliance and heart in this film. I hope this helps!"
This was amazing! From the music to the charecters i loved it! The story also is so cute and loving made the charecters all the more lovable! Made me imagine it in full rendered animation~ Great job!
I love these animations so much they are by far some of the best ones I'v seen in a very long time The story and the meaning could make me cry Keep up the amazing work
I'm so inspired by your story. Hope you'll make new animation film (Temiree). This is so good, it's so good that it makes me cry every time I see Drama in your animation. Thank you for showing this.
Awww I'm glad you loved it so much! :D I want to make a new animatic soon. Once my comic Little Runt is completed, I have something in mind I'd like to create. :)
A sweet story.....so beatifull. Thank you by the short film. I'll remember and record for my life. Simplesmente maravilhoso! Meu coração se encheu de carinho e nostalgia!
I may have to refrain from immediately rewatching, for my heart is still recovering from the emotional response. ❤️❤️💙 Joy and tears all around. I've got to say, I want to follow your style. And I hope you reach the future you want to see from it, whether it's an animated short or otherwise.
I'm going to see if I can color it little by little, and have a colored version up at some point? But considering how much it's affecting people, even as just an animatic, I'm satisfied with how this has turned out.
Thank you so much for creating such emotional characters and plots. I mean this clip is just ten minutes long but these ten minutes of my life were well spend. *whipping a tear out of the eye* Thank you for this "present" to us.
sin duda alguna una historia maravillosa muy bien hecha y fluida lo mejor que e visto con una música muy emotiva y maravillosa me llego al alma una segunda parte seria grandioso sin duda merece una continuación o algo así me e suscrito para no perderme de nada
A wonderful animation, the soundtrack is amazing and matches perfectly with the story. The camera position, the artwork really expresses the emotions of the characters. The story really moved me, thank you (wipe some tears). I'll be glad to support you.
Awww, what a great comment to end my year with! Thank you so much for watching. Your praise means a lot to me, and I hope you'll enjoy my future stories too!
I was waiting for someone to catch it. Yep! :D I imagine that he grabbed it from a nearby campsite. The little toy truck is modeled after the bus driver's truck, too!
There's a great interpretation/comment somewhere in the comment section that explains it well. If you can't find it and want to read it, let me know. ^^
I cried like a baby. I don't even know if it was sadness, sorrow or happiness
🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲 i couldn’t stop crying 🥲
Awwww, good! Thank you for watching! :D

I sometimes think of saying this to all my favorite animators but the chances (for me) of doing such is disappointing.
No sé inglés así que ok 🐌👍
It's been some 3 years now, hope that you're continuing with your art and novel!
I've watched the whole thing and this made me cry 😭 this is so beautiful
You are the medicine this community needs. Such an amazing story. I can tell you love this. You deserve more subs.
Eso fue tremendamente hermoso

Awwwww, I'm so glad you loved it! Thank you for telling me, and for wanting to share it too! I hope your friends enjoy it just as much! :D
God but what a great story. He certainly deserves an Oscar. Man made me cry
Yet another wonderful and heartfelt story from you Tem.. *claps while crying*
The story made me cry so much. It was so heart felt and too close to home. I would watch again but I'm still hurting from the first time ;w;
Wonderfully done Temiree, make us otts proud
no matter how many times i watch, i will ALWAYS CRY
Your storytelling ability is so impressive, I was tearing up all at the end. You should be very proud of what you have achieved!
It flowed really well and the soundtrack was Amazing, had me in tears at the end. Great Job!!!!
Why you make me cry. A beautiful story and work of art that brought me to tears. Fantastic characters and designs which took me on a journey with the characters
That was adorable, My heart melted when i heard the cute noises. This was awesome!
That was wonderful ❤ 🦦

awww i really liked this, it was both sad and heartwarming. good progress on it so far, hope you will be able to finish it someday.
I know it's weird to say, but thanks for making me cry with this. If ever there was a time to shed emotional tears, it's for things worth crying for.
Wonderful animation! I love how you expressed your story with the strength of the characters' actions, rather than through the utilization of dialogue. You've also mastered the technique of incorporating raw and heartfelt emotion into your animations; and I was able to experience genuine sadness, fear, and happiness for these two otters. Great job!

Lesson learned, greed wouldn't take you anywhere or having someone you loved is more valuable than the treasure itself
Amazing work
even though this is only Animatic but it can make myself and others feel what is being told, In fact this can bring feelings and sometimes I almost cry when watching it😢😢😢
I know this is a old animation. but i just found this and I cried for an hour... so much meaning. thank you
That means so much to me - thank you so much for watching! I'm happy my story moved you.
This was so heartfelt for me to watch and you've done a fantastic job with the storytelling without a need for spoken dialogue!
We need more animation to follow this format (and not just Pixar heh)
The saddest and most touching story I have ever seen, thank you for your effort to create this piece of art
Brought me to tears inside.
I literally almost cried from watching this.. and that doesn't happen often.
Having a good cry watching this as my brother is facing cancer.. thank you for making such kindness *hug*.
Aww... I'm so sorry that's happening, Pakeshe. :( *hugs back* I'm wishing you both the best! Stay strong for him - it'll make his fight easier! I hope he beats it.

Okay,who are the three monsters that gave this a thumb down?
I don't have the full gist of what was going on, but I was entertained nonetheless. I'm glad things worked out between the two otters in the end.
