@@commonhousehuman I wondered this too, but what I did was try new things. I have severe anxiety among other things personally, so if you are a little afraid of trying new things, stepping outside your comfort zone is a good way to determine more of what you like/don't like & will help you learn a bit more of who you are if that makes sense ♡
@@commonhousehuman never forget that you are capable of doing anything you put work toward and put passion into,, become someone you can be proud of and treat yourself the way you would treat a best friend or loved one 💕
I've watched hundreds of short films and animations but none have managed to make me cry ridiculously hard until this one. the music, the shadow of the kid as it flees into their imagination and the shattered adult becoming whole again in the hug... I've genuinely never seen or read anything that encapsulates the emotions all around it as well as this film. Thank you and please keep creating
The image of the cats shatters beginnings to fade as they hug their childhood self has me in tears, as an artist its so easy to get caught up in the busy life of an adult and only focus on the final peice, on how to make this perfect and how to make it work to others. you forget the kid who picked up a pen not because they had to, not because they were perfect at it, but because it was fun. I think the refined skills of an adult can tie to the fun and carlessness of having fun, its just knowing when its okay to let go- be imperfect, make it messy, do what you enjoy.
this is so so so amazing im blown away, this is genuinely one of my favorite animation projects ive ever seen. the art is incredible, the use of color and the way everything is animated and moves feels so vibrant and full of life, and yet so warm and comforting at the same time... and the ending really touched my heart too 😭 genuinely i am so grateful that i saw this!!! thank you for making this!!!
For me, tears have become a very rare occurrence, even when alone with myself. Can’t describe enough how happy I am that I’m still able to cry, thank you
this is really beautiful 💛 to me it seems like a story about growing up, and accepting your inner child, despite all the harm and troubles it went through. made me tear up, thank you
Wow ive never seen a calarts film like this. The traditional drawings, the colors, the old video effects, the way the textures move... It feels so vividly like a childhood memory. Every second feels so alive. I'm so glad this popped up for me! Congrats on your film 💛
wow, this is beautiful. i always find myself getting that really sickly nostalgic feeling, where i can just barely feel my childhood again and the memories are all fuzzy and warm. but it always slips away from me and i have to keep growing up. this is very healing. i can't ever be that little kid again, but i can always carry a piece of them with me. we can be friends again
This is so underrated. I love the vibe and the story is great! I think it's one of my favourite animated film now! I hope one day you will find the recognition you deserve
i don't even know what this film is about and yet i relate to it so heavily. the imagery, the song, the idea of a person in two, mentally unintentionally accidentally tearing themself apart. it hits hard, especially since i've been through it before. the style and the use of everything looking like a child's drawing really leans into the feeling of chaos, nostalgia and joy. in short, this is... i paused for a few seconds and realized i don't have any words to describe it some mix between chaos, nostalgia and joy, i guess in a very good way
how emotional.. I like the relationship between light and shadow, it gives me an almost maternal comfort in accepting the past as it was, even with scars.
yay another fan!!! i’m glad i could remind you of their music 😄 its truly amazeballs… mr thief’s music has always been with me during my most emotional times.
This animation just makes me think of my childhood pet, my little kitty cat Loola. Ever since I moved out of my parents house every time I come home she looks older and older, I think she doesn’t remember me anymore because she won’t even let me pet her, she used to sleep right next to my head every night growing up, I probably look like a stranger to her now all grown up, I miss you baby. I’m sorry I left
This made my cry. For the longest time I feel like I’ve neglected my childhood and who I wanted to be. Pressure has gotten in the way of things. Thank you for helping me search for my authentic self again
Consistent through your work is an amazing usage of texture and massive color to convey juxtaposed feelings that come with being an artist and being alive. Great work
i keep coming back to this video occasionally and it's an overwhelming wave of emotions and thoughts every time. i almost never post comments on videos but this legitimately brings me to tears every single time, your taste in music and artstyle are just on a whole other level. never stop animating, please
it's two am and while theoretically only one teardrop fell from my eye, I sorta feel like I've cried for half an hour, but the video is only 2 minutes and a half. That's how deeply that got me, the art style put it so well together. I have no words, what a great timing for this to be on my recommended.
genuinely such an amazing work of art. the bending of reality mixed in with the crayon animation and hypnotic music all together makes this such an immaculate blend for the senses as an amazing representation of keeping in touch with your inner child. absolutely astounding work! 💖
I've been watching people's animations they upload to youtube since I was 10 and I'm 20 now and this one is one I can tell is going to be special to a lot of people, including me, truly. thank you for making things and making this
please never stop making things like this; mid air thief is one of my favorite artists, but i’d forgotten about them and hearing that signature ring of their music made me tear up within the first ten seconds. the art is beautiful. all of it is beautiful
When I clicked on this video I was not expecting mid-air thief to play. Quite the pleasant surprise, but now that I think about it, it's a perfect match for the visuals. Stunning work.
wow wtf. even though i'm not sure i 100% fully understood all of the symbolism and intent behind the film i was still left with actual tears in my eyes at the end 😭😭😭😭this is amazing. you're a huge inspiration i'm so glad i saw this thank you so much for sharing your work!!
everything about this is so so beautiful!! 😭😭💞the colors, animation, the stylee, everything this is seriously one of my favorite videos to watch, its so pleasing and and comforting . And the little details!! I love the writing and drawings on the walls in the room at the end, the "floore" and " calARts" 😭🩷I especially love how the art style changes for the pink cat as they get older, from crayon scribbles to more details and neatyly colored in. Sane for the white cat, they also look like they have more details too, cute little sewn patches , until the younger cat comes back and it's back to more crayon scribbles which is also a really neat detail ! It's like the art style is progressing, from the white cat being blank, then cryaon scribbles, then more im literally so obssed 😭😭😭 and the animation fits the song so well conveys the mood perfectly its so so amazing
the medium is so mesmerizing not only did you capture all of the emotions the video itself looks like how it feels , for me, to reminisce in the nostalgia of childhood experiences and emotions :]
I saw your meow mix video and I immediately went through everything you had. Meow mix definitely has a massive wider appeal, but this one resonated with me so much I cried. I will make sure to follow whatever you decide to do next. Sincerely, A big new fan.
I love the colors and the cute, friendly look of everything. I'm having a pretty bad time in my life right now and this made me feel better some. Thank you.
to me, this animation screamed escapism. while the main character and the kitty jump along and seem happy, they completely ignore the shadow character. i believe this is because while they are growing up, they are avoiding unhappy thoughts and feelings, diving completely into escapism. they don’t allow themself to recover from the trauma they once endured. eventually, it catches up to them and they are left broken, until finally, they confront themself head on, and they are at peace. but anyway, this video changed something in me. i am so genuinely astonished at the beauty of this animation. you have made something truly remarkable
In my trauma therapy I brought this to my therapist to explain a deep seated raw emotion i couldnt describe otherwise. thank you for moving me so much with this film that it inspired change. its truly something so special.
This made me want to cry. This art is so beautiful and unique, your story telling is incredible and i really truly want you to know that. Never stop creating, im so amazed wow.
this moved me to tears. also this was delicious to watch, Im completely in awe of how textured and unique it looks! I cant help but wonder if it was tedious to comp everything on post to give such a beautiful nostalgic vibe to it. easily, this will become one of my fave animations ever, i love it soso much!
You are making such an energetic complex animation. The hand drawn look makes it work beautifully. I was an animation student at Cal Arts in Jules Engel program very early, 1972-74 and love seeing new work by Cal Arts students!
I regret only knowing your work now. This work is very great and it inspired me greatly. I love you the most in the world even though I got to know you today! Please continue to make your work
I don’t think I’ve ever relate to an animation this hard before. The visuals and how they progress was spot on in capturing the mind of a kid so much, and how they grow up. I can only hope one day I’ll be able to hug my inner child again, and I’m watching this regularly to remind myself to do that ❤
perfect visual representation of Mid-Air Thief's sound. I thought Mirai Mizue's "Wonder" was my favourite animated short film but this may be the new number 1. Beautiful work.
I don't know why you made this or who you made it for (if you made it for anybody, yourself or others), but man did I need this. This hit home. The art is incredible but I have to say, I think the soundtrack is really punctuating the flow of the story such that each surge, punch, and flow in sound just has me in a chokehold. (That said, I'm aware I say this about a short where EVERYTHING is exquisitely spectacular.) I personally thank every member of the team and anyone who helped to create this short, bravo. You brought me to tears today and you'll have me thinking about this for the rest of my life.
Вау.... Через такую простую казалось бы рисовку передать такой глубокий смысл.. Взросление, переходный этап, и сохранение в себе ребёнка, для баланса и того, чтобы всё было хорошо..и такие картины, которые обращены не столько к визуальному, сколько к ощущениям и воображениям, чувствительности детства.. Вау

Omg idk why but this comment hit me hard. Almost started sobbing. It's so well said. Beautiful analyzing. It resonated with me.💗
I never thought I'd live to see the day someone would dare to use mid-air music for an animation. And I am glad it was this animation
100% agree
Whats mid-air music?
wait nvm i didnt read the desc 💀
this is so so so amazing im blown away, this is genuinely one of my favorite animation projects ive ever seen. the art is incredible, the use of color and the way everything is animated and moves feels so vibrant and full of life, and yet so warm and comforting at the same time... and the ending really touched my heart too 😭 genuinely i am so grateful that i saw this!!! thank you for making this!!!
DAMN … i appreciate this so much 😓 😭 your comment and everyone else’s touch my heart too 😊😊😊
i'm going to cry i love this way too much
Oml GHOST TUNDRA???
this is so nostalgic for some reason and do sad. it reminds me so much of my childhood and how everything just ended when I grew up.
For me, tears have become a very rare occurrence, even when alone with myself. Can’t describe enough how happy I am that I’m still able to cry, thank you
it feels so much better now. i wish i could cry more often
1:02 this specific shot does something to me that I can’t explain
Sensawunda?
Literal chills from that shot along with the vocals
i feel like your art encapsulates the feeling of mid-air thief so well.... truly lovely
this looks EXACTLY how mid air thief sounds, im obsessed!!!!!!!!
this is really beautiful 💛 to me it seems like a story about growing up, and accepting your inner child, despite all the harm and troubles it went through. made me tear up, thank you
"it's you. despite everything it's still you."
Cringe

i just cried my brains out to this song thank you for making me revisit midair thief oh my goodness
yay another fan!!! i’m glad i could remind you of their music 😄 its truly amazeballs… mr thief’s music has always been with me during my most emotional times.
i like how i haven't listened to mid-air thief in months, but i could recognize this as being a song by them
This animation just makes me think of my childhood pet, my little kitty cat Loola.

watching this while drinking apple soda was so raw ilove it sm
This is so beautiful. It made me realize that my inner child will always be with me. She is me. She finds joy in everything I do.
This is such an unusual animation, but that makes it even more interesting and beautiful, I even cried after watching it, although I very rarely cry
why did i finish this and just start bawling. this is incredible! i can’t articulate the meaning but like I Get It and it resonates rlly hard w me
This made my cry. For the longest time I feel like I’ve neglected my childhood and who I wanted to be. Pressure has gotten in the way of things. Thank you for helping me search for my authentic self again
i cant remember the last time a piece of art made me tear up this much this is soo fantastic
im glad i could pass on my sentiment to you… thank you so much for ur support 💛💛💛
hands down the best and most memorable calarts film ever!!
immaculate song choice
really admire the care that went into this
Consistent through your work is an amazing usage of texture and massive color to convey juxtaposed feelings that come with being an artist and being alive. Great work
Ahh adventure time would be perfect with this style of animation ❤

This is the type of film where I would spot numerous details I missed throughout multiple watches. I fucking love this! >w

That's how deeply that got me, the art style put it so well together. I have no words, what a great timing for this to be on my recommended.
You know it's well done when without an ounce of dialogue or text, you know the exact message.
out of all calarts films, this is my favorite that i always come back to, keep it up
this made me cry way more than i expected :< thank you for giving my heart a hug , this is beautiful
This made me cry. This was such a powerful animation, words can't even explain how beautiful this is.
genuinely such an amazing work of art. the bending of reality mixed in with the crayon animation and hypnotic music all together makes this such an immaculate blend for the senses as an amazing representation of keeping in touch with your inner child. absolutely astounding work! 💖

I feel like it was a person accepting himself from adulthood to childhood, the rest was a process, well my interpretation, I cried, this is very CUTE💔
thank you so much for this beautiful animation & THANK U so much for introducing me to mid air thief. THIS IS AMAZING!! KEEP GOING!
This made me want to cry. This art is so beautiful and unique, your story telling is incredible and i really truly want you to know that. Never stop creating, im so amazed wow.
This genuinely made me bawl my eyes out.
3 seconds in i already cried all over myself amazing music choice
it feels like a weird dream
i had to pause as soon as the video started i was not expecting mid air thief
this moved me to tears. also this was delicious to watch, Im completely in awe of how textured and unique it looks! I cant help but wonder if it was tedious to comp everything on post to give such a beautiful nostalgic vibe to it. easily, this will become one of my fave animations ever, i love it soso much!
this is the most beautiful thing ive ever seen in my life
i have never been more moved by a piece of art before - this is what life is about
congrats a 2 minute vague animation just made me cry (I feel like I can relate to this a bit too much)
was not expecting to hear mid air thief when i clicked on this!!!
this is the cutest thing i've ever seen oh my gosh
The animation and the music is wonderful, I love this so much.

i feel like i watched this 1000 times. now i wish for my memory to be wiped so i can rewatch it 1000 times more
This is one of the most beautiful and profound videos I have ever seen in my life.
I thought about clicking on the thumbnail for second, because just from that i could tell it would be an emotional video and boy was i right 😭😭
How dare you make me cry on a Thursday evening
i might have no idea what the hell just happened, but I think I felt something...
I don't know why you made this or who you made it for (if you made it for anybody, yourself or others), but man did I need this. This hit home. The art is incredible but I have to say, I think the soundtrack is really punctuating the flow of the story such that each surge, punch, and flow in sound just has me in a chokehold.

as someone who holds a lot of what they create close to them over the years, thank you :). i got a lot out of this.

i feel like my inner child is on the back of a milk carton.
wow I kept ignoring this in my feed because it looked dumb but that was ONE OF THE COOLEST ANIMATIONS IVE SEEN ALL YEAR
This looks like the cute intro to a hand drawn cartoon from childhood :)
This is stunning! Everything I could want out of a calarts film is here❤❤
perfect music choice, i love this so much
