I've watched dozens of these short videos today and this one particularly touched my heart. Such a lovely tribute to the commonalities between children, no matter where they hail from. Lovely.
Believe me or not but I cried after watching this video. I don't understand why I'm not the kind to cry so easily... Magistral visual and emotional story, its storytelling is sadly so true and anticipating. Our humanity is destined to be doomed if we continue in this way, and with this what made once our civilisation so beautiful as well. Beautiful film, thank you so much.
You are lucky do not lose the things that make memories I'm a few years younger but have nothing from Behind 2015 Everything is gone even the photos Lost on a PC, no trinkets no cool things no memories I was just talking about it yesterday
turned 52 today and I feel lost on this earth as I have my entire life . This brilliant interpretation of the parallels of universe ,love and conflict will help me find my way . very truly impressed
I received a bear at 1 year old and teethed a hole in its ear. I turn 65 this year and it is still my priced possession and greets me every morning as it sit in it's special place in our home.. love the story
Not if you don't look the remotest bit like an Earth mammal. These aliens in the video appear roughly reptilian on the surface, but otherwise they are exactly like humans. You can only stretch coincidence so far...
До слёз... 50, а посмотрев вспомнил своё детство. Был плюшевый мишка, пришлось выкинуть, когда было 14, зашивать уже было нечего😢. СПАСИБО ЗА МУЛЬТФИЛЬМ И ВОЗВРАЩЕНИЕ В ДЕТСТВО❤!!!
Lovely film. Some beautiful shots; the bear “crying”, the young boy having to lose his bear and the new owner of the bear, proving that youngsters are all the same under the skin…they just want to have fun! ❤️
@@patfranks785Unfortunately, you couldn't tell by today's crop of petulant child-adults! Petty squabbling, bickering and just downright ignorant spoiled brats!!!
С удовольствием посмотрела мультфильм, тронул до глубины души. Мне 44 года назад подарили мишку, он до сих пор со мной, им играли мои дети, а сейчас племянницы. Мне дорог этот мишка, ведь рядом со мной моё беззаботное детство. Спасибо вам за ваше творчество!
Damn....that was awesome! My oldest son revieved a stuffed "Little Foot" dinosaur from my uncle when he was one yr old. He still has it at 34. I think it's the only thing he kept from his childhood when he married. Not a bear, but just as loved.
Very well made as well as reminding me of my old teddy bear from when I was 10. That was 54 years ago, and he is safely stored in the bottom of my chest of drawers.
I got a similar teddy when i wasn't even 1 year old yet. 23 years later, i still have it, and i am as reluctant to part ways with him as that kid in the video. It might seem worthless to anyone else, and the fact that i want to keep him seems silly or even funny to some, but it gave me great comfort in times of hardship when i was young when nothing and nobody else would, which makes him an invaluable memory.
@Francesca Di'Frapolli I'm sorry to hear this Francesca!! I seems from your words that you are free of that apparent living nightmare though, so well done for that and enjoy all that is ahead!
Not silly, nor funny. As kids our hearts are so clean and pure that even a cloth doll can get life and become alive from it. Along the years this cloth doll might become the only true anchor in your life for it is the only thing who carries your childhood heart pulsation. like this movie teddy bear.
For some odd reason, this movie hit me hard. I was literally in tears when the teddy was left alone like that, and then I got even more teary-eyed when he found a new home. Truly an amazing film.
No matter what part of the universe life forms come from, there will always be that deeply embedded and hidden connection between children. I found this short very inspirational of the fact that through earth's demise and another planet that's moved beyond self inflicted harm, that a simple toy such as teddy bear could demonstrate a benign task of making a child happy even though we are so far apart. A very fitting title to this gem. Excellent graphics and music along with the characters. Hope to see more of such tales.
Teddies are NOT simple toys. They are companions, confidants, security, healers, and protectors while their partner sleeps. Every single person should have a Teddy. I am 73, and still have the Teddy my parents bought me, second hand, for my 2nd birthday. I have no idea how old Timothy is, but he will accompany me in my coffin to fight the devils off.
I have watched it 50 times since last 5 years and I don't know why I pause all the time when rain drop fell on the teddy eye and become a drop of tear. How sensible.
Excellent animation , nearly 7 years old with a truthful story of a possible out come future , no wonder it has 15 best Animation awards , what Awesome skill sets , thank you for sharing .
This was absolutely wonderful. I can't believe it's taken me until now to actually find and watch this one. It's definitely showing it's age now, but still totally holds up with it's message about what we are doing to the planet (that could well be only a few years away if we don't change our way fast) and the meaning of these childhood friendships, that still stay with us for the rest of our lives if we let them. Give it the chance, life and joy can still go on.

Too adorable. The love of a stuff animal!!! Great clip! The memory of love in the teddy bear......and the alien saw how valuable he was! Great story!!!
A big thank you to everyone for the great comments. The amazing crew worked tirelessly for two years to complete this film. We all believed in the message of taking care of our planet, and as well trying to do something with excellence. Please keep the comments flowing. The Director
I loved this too. The level of detail in the artwork - the texture of the teddy's fur, the grass, the tree. And the alien's sorrow for humanity, his quiet satisfaction at being home, his love for his wife and child and the way the child alien leaps into his/her father's arms ... Just beautiful.
I'm 55 years old. When I was one year old, my mother bought me a teddy monkey that I still have to this day. My beautiful mother is no longer with me, and every time I see that monkey, I think of how much I miss my mother's love. Things like teddy bears and monkeys are so much more than toys. They have an emotional connection to family members who are no longer with us.
It's more than just sad, it's an alarm, a cry, a scream to save humanity from itself, dont just look at the black spot on the perfectly white sheet of paper, look also at the sheet of paper without the black spot.....we need to change orelse we Are doomed.
I was mad when they made me feel sad for the Teddy, but I was glad when he found someone to love him again. Making people feel so much for an animated Teddy s/be illegal. Otherwise, it’s brilliant.
@lavender fields That's true, the problem that I see that in a lot ways man makes things more complicated than it really needs to be. And man is in general terms prideful and arrogant to his own ends. He wants what someone else has and he's willing to take by any means.( That's what wars are really about, you have what I want, you won't give it me so, I will conquer you and take everything anyways.) Some people are not willing to work for what they want in life, or they don't really know what they want so, they end up doing the same thing that everybody else is doing. I think that man is what's going to make his own species extinct, by his own undoing. Long before our sun dies and destroys the earth.
Life is worth living when there is something or someone that makes it so for you. You wouldn't want to deal with a job 8 hours a day 5 to 6 days a week for no other reason than ''just to survive''. Simple working folk find happiness in the simple things, like acts of kindness, a decent meal after a tiring day, to be shown affection from people they care about, to come home to a lover and family, a teddy bear? Rich power mongers already have everything they could ever wish for, they pay people to be kind to them, serve and protect them, and any emotional attachment they think they have with someone is probably artificial. Pity the rich man, for he is hallow. And in his vein pursuit of finding fulfilment, he will impoverish the rest of us, and devastate the land.
@@aragottix7322 So true on so many levels with respect to what you said, and I agree with you on all of those points but, unfortunately, man had made society to where that's all you get is just work. ( I don't have a problem with work but at the same time. I don't think that we were meant to be slaves either.)I just think that in a lot of ways we have forgotten the true meaning of life because of the media. Keeps portraying what's better and new and improved with all of that"fake"stuff being stuffed down our collective throats it's hard not to lose sight of true meaning of life as I think that God intended. God want us to be happy and prosperous but not SLAVES
@@arynschroeder4756 That's called capitalism my man. Advertisements will want to make you feel bad about yourself first, and then tell you how to improve, because that will get people to spend money on their products. Today's society is profit-firts, everything else second. Its the same in marketing as it is with the labour force, any industry will wish to maximise their output while attempting the pay their workers as little as they can. National laws enforce a minimal wage, and one's education plays a part in how much you should be getting, but if it wasn't for those, these same vein men would no doubt try to turn us in to de-facto slaves. This is not a critique of capitalism mind you, it's not the system's fault, for it is the best we can conceive of, but a critique of human nature. Humanity is flawed at its core, dividing feelings like fear drives hate which makes us do rash things for the wrong reasons, which drives a further wedge between people, who begin to compete on every level, which is envy, and consequently greed. This applies in divisions like nations and religions, as well as social classes, down to individual feuds. These are barriers that will not be removed any time soon. If humanity would have a savior, it would have to be sympathy.
@@aragottix7322 exactly, I agree with you!! You have hit the nail on the head. I guess I'm missing when life seemed more simple and things made more sense as you look at things. As I'm getting older, I'm seeing things that( being blunt about it) things are really getting f***** up and in life things shouldn't be that way.( at least in my mind.) I try to live by the K.I.S.S. principles as much as I can, I realize that's not always possible. ( K.I.S.S. Meaning keep it simple stupid.)
I half-expected the teddy bear to smile or its eyes to close with happiness when the alien child 'adopted' it. Simple but excellent cautionary tale of how we're messing up our world. Superb animation and music.
This was presented to us in our animation class when a member of Cogswell College visited us. I was feeling a little sick that day, so I didn't get to voice my opinion, but now I can here: This was a beautiful animation that is worth the effort put into it. Humans in CGI are a challenge to create and more often than not look horrifying, but these humans look very normal and very natural, especially the young boy. The aliens are amazingly designed as well; they have a unique appearance that almost looks intimidating at first, but the powerful scene where the one takes the teddy bear in his hand and shows that look of sadness and sympathy for its previous owner is just great. All in all, a very great short film and you guys should be proud!
The designer of the aliens (Luis Currasco) now works at ILM where they made the star wars films, transformers, really one of the best visual effects facilities in the world. Everyone is incredibly proud of the fact they worked on this film. The crew gave all their hearts to compete this film.
@@Shokry999 Incredibly rude comment! It was a lovely animation, filled with LOVE. What have YOU done lately to improve our world? As my grandmother said all the time, "If you can't say something nice, say nothing at all."
I still have mine right next to me & I'm 52 & my wife totally loves him too! I could never part withy best friend for life! Thanks for the great video!
Well, an animation now nearly ten years old. Story, execution, pacing, music all faultless. Wish i had seen it earlier, glad that I have seen it now. Beautiful.
I watched this today 22.2.2021 for the First time and im curious to see when i watch it a few years later how much closer we got to this scenario i hope not but still. P.s. Made me cry 🐻
It's no wonder our world is as fucked as it is when you see how many people disliked this animation. Some folks just don't GET it... and likely never will.
Breath taking, exceptional, emotional, a well plotted and thought out process of the logistics of this animation is what makes it a masterpiece of its own interpretations. My time was not wasted here.
This one is so sad... The bear survives everything, including the final death of humanity. Even sadder to me is that the comments here are all about the nostalgia of the teddy bear (not that it isn't important to the story, too), but no one is talking about the massive elephant in the room: the larger point the film is making that goes along with the story of the toy: Climate Change. Everyone here seems to forget, or doesn't want to face; this film is actually telling TWO stories... Beautifully presented and poignant. No wonder it won so many awards. This is one of the best films I've ever seen.
@Maggie Lynn Oh, for Pete's Sake. You folks REALLY need to take off the goddamned tinfoil hats. Do you even KNOW what "Agenda 21" actually was? The fucking TITLE of an agreement to be less wasteful, to find ways to preserve the environment, maybe use less fossil fuels, that sort of thing. It wasn't even a fucking law. Just a friendly hand shake between United Nations countries. That's it. George H. W. Bush even signed on to it in the year it was written up. It was the Paris Accord of that decade. You what's REALLY mass murder? The human greed of Big Oil, the companies that actually had scientists research into whether use of fossil fuels was dangerous to our environment over time, and how long we could continue to use them before things would break down. When those scientists came back and told them just how dangerous their product was (extremely toxic to people and the environment), they had them drop the research, forbade them from telling anyone and buried it all... BACK IN THE LATE SEVENTIES. Big Oil KNEW about Climate Change forty years ago and could have warned us, or worked to make their products safer. But they just went on as if nothing had changed because they didn't fucking care. THAT'S the "mass murder" you want to look into, lady. Climate Change isn't a "front" for anything other than basic human shortsightedness and greed. Some of us knew what fossil fuels could do, and failed to say anything because the money was too good. Most of us know how poisonous the by-products of burning fossil fuels are: CO2 and carbon monoxide--both can kill. Interestingly enough, too MUCH CO2 actually can poison plants over time. They grow fast, yes, but they produce fewer nutrients for other lifeforms, and the respire LESS OXYGEN--a double whammy. The plant grows leggy (taller or longer) but without enough of the cellulose to give the plant the firmness it needs to stay upright. It falls over. It doesn't produce chlorophyll properly--causing issues with the oxygen/CO2 cycle again. In short, too much CO2 fucks everything up. Where's that CO2 coming from? Us: the stuff we BURN, the animals we farm, our manufacturing processes, road-train-ocean & air-shipping, our cars & trucks, our recreational toys, air-travel, and the accidental fires we cause in forests, oil rigs, refinement plants... You name it, humanity has found a way to wreck it. You can tell me to fuck off all ya want, it still doesn't change the fact that there isn't any shady, secret cabal killing the planet, unless it's the super-rich who don't want to take any responsibility for what the products they sell do to people as long as it keeps them in power and rich as fuck. The only "secret" I see is how they manage to keep people so distracted and fighting against each other when it's so fucking obvious where all of this crap comes from, that we buy into a bunch of illogical conspiracies that sound utterly insane, yet hundreds of thousands or even millions of people believe them... It's all right out there in the open, and it's you. It's me, it's your mom, your neighbour, that guy you passed on the street the other day, some poor girl making naan on her mother's stove in India. It's ALL of us, some, more than others. To be more honest, it's mostly North America, China and Europe. WE started it all. China's only in there because they have such a HUGE population and they still use an incredible amount of coal, despite being one of the largest producers of renewable energy in the world. Same goes for India. Both countries are actually working hard to go renewable as soon as possible--they KNOW what's coming. No, it's the fucking halfwits like the USA and Bolsonor's Brazil who are turning a global problem into a political football that should have been a point of coming together to fix a problem that affects ALL of us, not just a few rich countries. It was the rich countries that CAUSED the mess, it should be the rich countries who CLEAN UP the mess. And yes, I'm from one of the rich countries. Our actions, ALL OF US, affects the PLANET. We are in the SIXTH Great Extinction, and it's OUR fault. So, how well do you sleep at night?
We gave our daughter a teddy bear in her first birthday. She can't sleep without it. He's her playmate since. My daughter said he's her brother. They're now turning 6 and there's no way to keep them apart until now but when my daughter does and leave him, I'll be there for our fourth family member. Godbless.
This one animation is worth a million words. A wonderful storyline, a wonderful construction of ideas, beautiful sound effects and most importantly a great work on animations.
I don't know what it is about stuffed animals that gets to me, but this animation made me cry when the boy left his teddy bear behind. I don't know why, but I could never throw away my stuffed animal(s). It makes me feel like a horrible person.
Its because its as if we're throwing away a part of our family. It's not as bad as getting rid of a family pet or worse, an actual human member. But it's an object that we brought to life with our imagination. Just like we personify our dog as we get more and more attached to it, we personify our stuffed animals. I have a stuffed dog I've had since I was two, and I'm 18 now.
@@ChristianSD82 How do you know what happened? Is there a sequel or prequel that shows that story? This story was about the teddy Human's could be elsewhere. If human's survived, they left earth way before the aliens turned up & found the teddy
Dear Greek Kid! You are right! There is no sequel or prequel. Maybe humans left earth! Maybe I am just too pessimistic and I draw paralell between the animation’s (bear’s) story and what is happening to earth! This is the way I see!:)
Other intelligent life go and do the same in their own world's. It's part of the development of an intelligent race. So the idea that we are a scourge is anti humanity. We need to do better yes. They are the colonists now - the prize is our world. So where did this idea come from I wonder?
This animation was not at all about the bear, but it was all about our mother earth... Please save our nature, no one alone can do it but together we all can do something so that future kids won't have to leave their Teddy behind ❤️
The irony is that unless it was made of synthetic materials, that teddy-bear would've rotted away just like most of the house. The truth is the use of fossil-fuels to make millions of bears & other toys, along with the trillions of tonnes of plastic items that fill our lives, are destroying the environment around the globe!
My wife-54yo-still cuddles the ratty old teddy she was given when she was an infant. This made me cry. She would not part with him for all the money in the world.❤️🧸
As my mother grew near to the end of her life she returned to me the teddy bear I used to keep as a young child. She only told me she couldn't let it go and wanted to return it to me. Mom died in 2011. I have my teddy bear to this day. That bear represents my innocent past and now my hope for the future for us all. I am now 72 yrs old. I wonder. Thanks Mom, I love and miss you!!!
One of my favorites ❤️. I still have my bunnies since I was five, I'm fifty seven now. No ears on one, no eye on the other and still just as beautiful as ever.
Some things are timeless, the love for a Teddy bear 🧸 your best friend who made you feel safe and kept all your secrets. These are priceless, even in time and space.
It's tough to grow up, but sometimes you just have to. Who wants to see a 13 year old boy carrying his blankie around, or a 7 year old with a binky in his mouth? It was time son.
The teddy has a second chance at a family, after so many years of being alone. But nothing will replace the happy memories of his past he will always cherish.

Pretty Clare. Total strangers we are, but the truth is there is only one. Open contact is soon.
So 9 minets of cool stuff = two years of work
Never knew the trailer for TED 3 was going to be CGI, but thanks anyways
I cried like a baby.
Beautiful.
I'm 55 years old. When I was one year old, my mother bought me a teddy monkey that I still have to this day. My beautiful mother is no longer with me, and every time I see that monkey, I think of how much I miss my mother's love. Things like teddy bears and monkeys are so much more than toys. They have an emotional connection to family members who are no longer with us.
This is one of the perfect shorties I've seen, the music is pleasant, the plot simple but sad, the animations just amazing.
It's more than just sad, it's an alarm, a cry, a scream to save humanity from itself, dont just look at the black spot on the perfectly white sheet of paper, look also at the sheet of paper without the black spot.....we need to change orelse we Are doomed.
The music is in this is so good and goes so well with each part great composing !!!
I was mad when they made me feel sad for the Teddy, but I was glad when he found someone to love him again. Making people feel so much for an animated Teddy s/be illegal. Otherwise, it’s brilliant.
Are they wearing cloths?
soddo would say that, FILTH
It kinda makes you ask the question, "What's the meaning of life?" Is it money, fame, power or Is lt loving memories that gives life it's meaning.
@lavender fields That's true, the problem that I see that in a lot ways man makes things more complicated than it really needs to be. And man is in general terms prideful and arrogant to his own ends. He wants what someone else has and he's willing to take by any means.( That's what wars are really about, you have what I want, you won't give it me so, I will conquer you and take everything anyways.) Some people are not willing to work for what they want in life, or they don't really know what they want so, they end up doing the same thing that everybody else is doing. I think that man is what's going to make his own species extinct, by his own undoing. Long before our sun dies and destroys the earth.
Life is worth living when there is something or someone that makes it so for you. You wouldn't want to deal with a job 8 hours a day 5 to 6 days a week for no other reason than ''just to survive''. Simple working folk find happiness in the simple things, like acts of kindness, a decent meal after a tiring day, to be shown affection from people they care about, to come home to a lover and family, a teddy bear? Rich power mongers already have everything they could ever wish for, they pay people to be kind to them, serve and protect them, and any emotional attachment they think they have with someone is probably artificial. Pity the rich man, for he is hallow. And in his vein pursuit of finding fulfilment, he will impoverish the rest of us, and devastate the land.
@@aragottix7322 So true on so many levels with respect to what you said, and I agree with you on all of those points but, unfortunately, man had made society to where that's all you get is just work. ( I don't have a problem with work but at the same time. I don't think that we were meant to be slaves either.)I just think that in a lot of ways we have forgotten the true meaning of life because of the media. Keeps portraying what's better and new and improved with all of that"fake"stuff being stuffed down our collective throats it's hard not to lose sight of true meaning of life as I think that God intended. God want us to be happy and prosperous but not SLAVES
@@arynschroeder4756 That's called capitalism my man. Advertisements will want to make you feel bad about yourself first, and then tell you how to improve, because that will get people to spend money on their products. Today's society is profit-firts, everything else second. Its the same in marketing as it is with the labour force, any industry will wish to maximise their output while attempting the pay their workers as little as they can. National laws enforce a minimal wage, and one's education plays a part in how much you should be getting, but if it wasn't for those, these same vein men would no doubt try to turn us in to de-facto slaves. This is not a critique of capitalism mind you, it's not the system's fault, for it is the best we can conceive of, but a critique of human nature. Humanity is flawed at its core, dividing feelings like fear drives hate which makes us do rash things for the wrong reasons, which drives a further wedge between people, who begin to compete on every level, which is envy, and consequently greed. This applies in divisions like nations and religions, as well as social classes, down to individual feuds. These are barriers that will not be removed any time soon. If humanity would have a savior, it would have to be sympathy.
@@aragottix7322 exactly, I agree with you!! You have hit the nail on the head. I guess I'm missing when life seemed more simple and things made more sense as you look at things. As I'm getting older, I'm seeing things that( being blunt about it) things are really getting f***** up and in life things shouldn't be that way.( at least in my mind.) I try to live by the K.I.S.S. principles as much as I can, I realize that's not always possible. ( K.I.S.S. Meaning keep it simple stupid.)
Смотрю не в первый раз и все ровно нравится) трогательная история)
Какая-то 3д анимация, а вызвала столько чувств и эмоций. БРАВО !!!
Это правда, Мишка 🐻
fantastic, yup it created some tears. Very wonderful and sad also. Loved the animation.
I half-expected the teddy bear to smile or its eyes to close with happiness when the alien child 'adopted' it. Simple but excellent cautionary tale of how we're messing up our world. Superb animation and music.
This was presented to us in our animation class when a member of Cogswell College visited us. I was feeling a little sick that day, so I didn't get to voice my opinion, but now I can here:
This was a beautiful animation that is worth the effort put into it. Humans in CGI are a challenge to create and more often than not look horrifying, but these humans look very normal and very natural, especially the young boy.
The aliens are amazingly designed as well; they have a unique appearance that almost looks intimidating at first, but the powerful scene where the one takes the teddy bear in his hand and shows that look of sadness and sympathy for its previous owner is just great.
All in all, a very great short film and you guys should be proud!
The designer of the aliens (Luis Currasco) now works at ILM where they made the star wars films, transformers, really one of the best visual effects facilities in the world. Everyone is incredibly proud of the fact they worked on this film. The crew gave all their hearts to compete this film.
bullshit movie. Feels like vomit sick.
@@Shokry999 Incredibly rude comment! It was a lovely animation, filled with LOVE. What have YOU done lately to improve our world? As my grandmother said all the time, "If you can't say something nice, say nothing at all."
I still have mine right next to me & I'm 52 & my wife totally loves him too! I could never part withy best friend for life! Thanks for the great video!
You gotta be kiddin me.
I'm crying !!
What a beautiful story and cinematic art !
Yes bro, its melting the heart
Love transcends all. What a truly wonderful story! Thank you for sharing the timeless story. It is so appreciated.
I have no words to praise this masterpiece. We still could learn.
Well, an animation now nearly ten years old. Story, execution, pacing, music all faultless. Wish i had seen it earlier, glad that I have seen it now. Beautiful.
I watched this today 22.2.2021 for the First time and im curious to see when i watch it a few years later how much closer we got to this scenario i hope not but still. P.s. Made me cry 🐻
Beautiful,beautiful story!! Thank you!
A beautiful work of art...I loved it...it deserves every award won. BRAVO!
Sad and tragic for the earth family,especially sad but happy for the teddy bear who found a new friend on another planet,nice short with deep meaning.
1234lavallee1 .. I agree ..😇😇
It's no wonder our world is as fucked as it is when you see how many people disliked this animation. Some folks just don't GET it... and likely never will.
well... TH-cam doesn't want you to know how many people disliked it any more...
How beautiful, this film just proves that we might look different but we are all the really the same. Well done, beautifully told
Breath taking, exceptional, emotional, a well plotted and thought out process of the logistics of this animation is what makes it a masterpiece of its own interpretations. My time was not wasted here.
This story makes me cry every time . GAAAHHHHH !!!
Michael, that was beautiful. Thank you so much.
Your welcome... 🙂
Shame its only had 180 137 views. Very touching and innovative. Should be in the running to win an award.
It did, it won 14 of them.
Excellent! 14 awards? Well deserved. Thanks for that info.
read the video descriptions next time :P lots of useful info located in them
It's really true that Accidentally I pressed one of animation video .... now i can't stop myself watching them ... watched many in three days
Emotions and Feelings are exactly the same - whether he is a regular human being or a funny looking alien with some vital parts missing!🤣
This one is so sad... The bear survives everything, including the final death of humanity. Even sadder to me is that the comments here are all about the nostalgia of the teddy bear (not that it isn't important to the story, too), but no one is talking about the massive elephant in the room: the larger point the film is making that goes along with the story of the toy: Climate Change. Everyone here seems to forget, or doesn't want to face; this film is actually telling TWO stories... Beautifully presented and poignant. No wonder it won so many awards. This is one of the best films I've ever seen.
@Maggie Lynn Oh, for Pete's Sake. You folks REALLY need to take off the goddamned tinfoil hats. Do you even KNOW what "Agenda 21" actually was? The fucking TITLE of an agreement to be less wasteful, to find ways to preserve the environment, maybe use less fossil fuels, that sort of thing. It wasn't even a fucking law. Just a friendly hand shake between United Nations countries. That's it. George H. W. Bush even signed on to it in the year it was written up. It was the Paris Accord of that decade. You what's REALLY mass murder? The human greed of Big Oil, the companies that actually had scientists research into whether use of fossil fuels was dangerous to our environment over time, and how long we could continue to use them before things would break down. When those scientists came back and told them just how dangerous their product was (extremely toxic to people and the environment), they had them drop the research, forbade them from telling anyone and buried it all... BACK IN THE LATE SEVENTIES. Big Oil KNEW about Climate Change forty years ago and could have warned us, or worked to make their products safer. But they just went on as if nothing had changed because they didn't fucking care.
THAT'S the "mass murder" you want to look into, lady. Climate Change isn't a "front" for anything other than basic human shortsightedness and greed. Some of us knew what fossil fuels could do, and failed to say anything because the money was too good. Most of us know how poisonous the by-products of burning fossil fuels are: CO2 and carbon monoxide--both can kill. Interestingly enough, too MUCH CO2 actually can poison plants over time. They grow fast, yes, but they produce fewer nutrients for other lifeforms, and the respire LESS OXYGEN--a double whammy. The plant grows leggy (taller or longer) but without enough of the cellulose to give the plant the firmness it needs to stay upright. It falls over. It doesn't produce chlorophyll properly--causing issues with the oxygen/CO2 cycle again. In short, too much CO2 fucks everything up. Where's that CO2 coming from? Us: the stuff we BURN, the animals we farm, our manufacturing processes, road-train-ocean & air-shipping, our cars & trucks, our recreational toys, air-travel, and the accidental fires we cause in forests, oil rigs, refinement plants... You name it, humanity has found a way to wreck it.
You can tell me to fuck off all ya want, it still doesn't change the fact that there isn't any shady, secret cabal killing the planet, unless it's the super-rich who don't want to take any responsibility for what the products they sell do to people as long as it keeps them in power and rich as fuck. The only "secret" I see is how they manage to keep people so distracted and fighting against each other when it's so fucking obvious where all of this crap comes from, that we buy into a bunch of illogical conspiracies that sound utterly insane, yet hundreds of thousands or even millions of people believe them... It's all right out there in the open, and it's you. It's me, it's your mom, your neighbour, that guy you passed on the street the other day, some poor girl making naan on her mother's stove in India. It's ALL of us, some, more than others. To be more honest, it's mostly North America, China and Europe. WE started it all. China's only in there because they have such a HUGE population and they still use an incredible amount of coal, despite being one of the largest producers of renewable energy in the world. Same goes for India. Both countries are actually working hard to go renewable as soon as possible--they KNOW what's coming.
No, it's the fucking halfwits like the USA and Bolsonor's Brazil who are turning a global problem into a political football that should have been a point of coming together to fix a problem that affects ALL of us, not just a few rich countries. It was the rich countries that CAUSED the mess, it should be the rich countries who CLEAN UP the mess. And yes, I'm from one of the rich countries. Our actions, ALL OF US, affects the PLANET. We are in the SIXTH Great Extinction, and it's OUR fault. So, how well do you sleep at night?
I bet you all still drink water out of plastic bottles you ignorant snowflakes.
hoof! now that was like a touchy film with some Calvin and Hobbs stuff in there. People who made this, you guys rock with the story and animation!
Thank you very much. Everyone who worked on this put so much heart into it. :)
Back again, still superb!
That actually reduced me to tears...
Даже не одушевленные предметы, порой обритают частичку души. Ту частичку которую мы сами в них вкладываем.
Аж на слезу пробило. Всё-таки в мультиках больше смысла , чем в фильмах..
We gave our daughter a teddy bear in her first birthday. She can't sleep without it. He's her playmate since. My daughter said he's her brother. They're now turning 6 and there's no way to keep them apart until now but when my daughter does and leave him, I'll be there for our fourth family member. Godbless.
This one animation is worth a million words. A wonderful storyline, a wonderful construction of ideas, beautiful sound effects and most importantly a great work on animations.
*Runs upstairs, digs through attic and finds old favorite stuffed animal*
I can't believe how far animation has taken us, fantastic 🏆
I don't know what it is about stuffed animals that gets to me, but this animation made me cry when the boy left his teddy bear behind. I don't know why, but I could never throw away my stuffed animal(s). It makes me feel like a horrible person.
Its because its as if we're throwing away a part of our family. It's not as bad as getting rid of a family pet or worse, an actual human member. But it's an object that we brought to life with our imagination. Just like we personify our dog as we get more and more attached to it, we personify our stuffed animals. I have a stuffed dog I've had since I was two, and I'm 18 now.
So sad 😞, but such a sweet ending, making me cry
And these are riptilians who scare us!:)))
@@НикНика-и3й do they scare you?

How do you know what happened?
Is there a sequel or prequel that shows that story?
This story was about the teddy
Human's could be elsewhere. If human's survived, they left earth way before the aliens turned up & found the teddy
Dear Greek Kid!
You are right! There is no sequel or prequel. Maybe humans left earth! Maybe I am just too pessimistic and I draw paralell between the animation’s (bear’s) story and what is happening to earth! This is the way I see!:)
This one hurts. Simple yet true. We're destroying ourselves..the world will be a much better place when we're gone.
Thanks for making this video.
Other intelligent life go and do the same in their own world's. It's part of the development of an intelligent race.
So the idea that we are a scourge is anti humanity. We need to do better yes. They are the colonists now - the prize is our world. So where did this idea come from I wonder?
no wonder it's award winning! one of the best short videos i've seen---a masterful creation showing the truth of the univerality of love.
This animation was not at all about the bear, but it was all about our mother earth... Please save our nature, no one alone can do it but together we all can do something so that future kids won't have to leave their Teddy behind ❤️
The irony is that unless it was made of synthetic materials, that teddy-bear would've rotted away just like most of the house. The truth is the use of fossil-fuels to make millions of bears & other toys, along with the trillions of tonnes of plastic items that fill our lives, are destroying the environment around the globe!
But alas we wont
What have you done so far ?
It's ALL ABOUT THE BEAR !
And how bears and kids belong ❤

My wife-54yo-still cuddles the ratty old teddy she was given when she was an infant. This made me cry. She would not part with him for all the money in the world.❤️🧸
Too many memories to let it go
That's quite disturbing . She is what is termed as an " Adult child ".
@@MPeaches1958 Define " adult children ".
There is a message in here and one worth contemplating, thank you for a video that stretches the human mind,
As my mother grew near to the end of her life she returned to me the teddy bear I used to keep as a young child. She only told me she couldn't let it go and wanted to return it to me. Mom died in 2011. I have my teddy bear to this day. That bear represents my innocent past and now my hope for the future for us all. I am now 72 yrs old. I wonder. Thanks Mom, I love and miss you!!!
Cool! I had 2 bears! The one missing an eye was my favorite of the 2. At 71+ I wish I still had them! We never outgrow our need for them!
One of my favorites ❤️. I still have my bunnies since I was five, I'm fifty seven now. No ears on one, no eye on the other and still just as beautiful as ever.
Some things are timeless, the love for a Teddy bear 🧸 your best friend who made you feel safe and kept all your secrets. These are priceless, even in time and space.
Beautiful, heartwarming, touching, well done.
Brought some tears. Really well done
I"ll never stop watching this film again and again and again.
Love that sound track
earliest thing i remember my gramma gave me a blue teddy bear with wind up music in it. I've always cherished that gift
Thank for putting a smile on my face in 2021!!!
What a beautiful story! Excellent animation! Well done! Loved it! :-)
I can't believe his dad couldn't spare 20 seconds to let him go back for his bear.
Mean bastard.
Great animation though. :-)
@Miepi09 Mhm. Still, it's only one minute. Not like it will get to you in said time.
@Bob Bobbington Never thought of speed.
@Patrick Ancona ok boomer.
@Patrick Ancona Were the generation you raised if we fail you fail too
It's tough to grow up, but sometimes you just have to. Who wants to see a 13 year old boy carrying his blankie around, or a 7 year old with a binky in his mouth? It was time son.
I had a red bear when I was a boy...my mother passed in 2020 and she actually saved that bear all those years...i still have him after all.
Very thought and feeling provoking.
That is one tough teddy bear to survive that long.
SO GLAD I CLICKED ON THIS. THANK YOU
Gorgeous and Full Of Love*! Very Very Thanks! :) as in the story than in The Technical Art itself
A lovely film with surprisingly deep meaning. Well done !❤
Brilliant and tucking with a message.
The teddy has a second chance at a family, after so many years of being alone. But nothing will replace the happy memories of his past he will always cherish.
