- A mixture of puppet and hand-drawn animation, The Necktie is the story of Valentin and his quest to find meaning in his life. Stuck in a dead-end job, he has forgotten all about the things that used to bring him joy. Years pass, and boredom replaces all his aspirations and hope for the future. It is only on his 40th birthday, when he rediscovers an old accordion hidden in the depths of his closet, that he regains his lust for life.

Further proof you don't need an ounce of dialogue to tell a wonderful story. Thank you for a beautiful film.
Thank you for this. My uncle Eli Noyes was a stop-motion animator himself, AND he played the accordion as well. He passed away last month. He lived his life working on what he chose; he brushed up with companies like Pixar and MTV, but he would never have been happy working with any of them. He would never have chosen a workplace where he didn't have his freedom.
Great video, expressing the pure reality of today’s society. Unfortunately many of us are in a deep sleep and don’t see they are asleep. They suffer but don’t know why. Others has understood from where the suffering comes from but don’t how do heal and let go, they have forgotten what were the passions and talents of childhood, just don’t know how to get out of the dark. And the very few people have been connected again with their soul and are now following the soul’s purpose, leaving authentically, leaving their higher excitements…
Many thanks for this creation that speaks more than millions of words.
Much gratitude and blessings 🙏✨
Wonderfully done! His long gait-- like a giraffe-- adds so much to the sense of irony and bitterness.
For 18 years i had this dream of directing a play by Ariel Dorfman. For those years. No one would consider backing it, but i worked at it..kept on plugging away ..
Of course COVID interrupted it but in 2023 i was given the oppurtunity of directing it. It was the culmination of all my dreams , of all those years of working towards putting it on stage.
Congratulations on this!
Well done. Great satire, commentary, allegory, metaphors, and symbolism!
¡Gracias!
oh my god this should win an oscar
Vision trop près de la réalité ; jolie histoire touchante d-'espoir😊
Wonderfully portrayed. Life is what we make it!
🎼Enjoy yourself,🎵is later than you think 🎶...Bravo M.Levesque, et merci
LIFE, inc. Follow the rules and maybe, after giving the best 65 years of your lives to the corporations, will acquire a monthly stipend enabling you to live the final years of your lives in peace; while wishing the same for the children you brought into this insane reality.
Lol. So true.
Tell that to the KFC guy and so many other people that made it after 60. Or better, just be like the rest of the 60 and above people who live alone without a cent to travel nor take care of their own health. I wonder which lives a happier life...
Very well said. It's sad isn't.
True life
Or maybe don’t follow the rules😂
This is so beautiful, poetic and deep in so many ways, I'm very touched! Thank you for this outstanding animation! Hope to see much more of your amazing art!
Just amazing!
Formidable! Here's an animation short that means something... means a lot!
J'adore, magnifique! Très belle histoire inspirante. 💜💜💜💜💜💜
👍👌👏 Oh WOW, simply fantastic!
Thanks a lot for making recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and especially health to all involved people.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 É preciso coragem! 🌻🌹🌼🌷
That is quite possibly the most beautifully created animation I have ever seen. Outstanding. Congratulations and thank you!
Iove this kind of stop animation. I think that's how it's referred to. Remember chicken run? Lol that was so great. The key is in the subtle hilarity. Kudos to these kinds of artists!
Very well done. Hopefully I can follow his example and inspire others to live their best lives.
Climb the corporate ladder they said:
1. Spend your years fixing someone else's mistakes.
2. Finally find out that someone's been shredding all your hard work all those years.
3. Wake up and get the heck out! (Hopefully.)
Beautiful animation!
Not just beautyful, but with a meaning.
Stop-Motion and 2D animation, animations I for one would love to see in the world and in our lives again.
My beautiful bunica from Romania send me this video from the other side x thank you so much xx
Vraiment beau !! Extraordinaire :) Merci xx
deep 👌 awesome..
BRAVO! 👏👏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Maybe it's more about "exiting the rat race" than "following your dreams". But some would say that's kind of a "tomato, tomato" thing.
Great movie.
Superb xxxxxxxxxxxxx
That was really good, music makes our lives richer.
Bravo! Sad, true😢
BRAVO ♥
Bravo! Well done.. I loved the animation and how you wove the tale.

Some people just need to make others happy!!
Muy hermoso 💚
A masterpiece ✨️
nicely done. animation variety keeps you interested in a fairly standard story.
I would rather be homeless than work a corporate office job. And ive been homeless before so im speaking from experience.
Old joke: In heaven, St Peter gives you a harp. In hell, Satan hands you an accordion.
Love the fact how they mixed it with cartoon
Me he gustado muchísimo 😊
J'adore!
Well done
Brilliant story and animation!
8:20 The maximum expression of capitalism. They squeeze their workers to their last strength... and then they are disposable... they simply fire them.
If you wanted a definition of French Humour, as opposed to English humour, this should provide you with an answer.
Your job has to have meaning in life. You have to feel like you are helping others. Otherwise, your life feels meaningless.
Never have I ever been so mad a video ended
Plutôt Kafkaïen !
Bien à vous.
Nice!
this is a message I've seen lately. I have made this change. Don't wait, don't wait for romance or someone else to give you permission, or a health scare. Make the change now - if you want to of course.😄
Animation yang keren
Bravoo
I'm still trying to find out what my dream is and then decide to make it happen.

Paper dolls and performing?
Mr bean!
A Squeeze Box ?
It is French
I would have expected the paper employees to be shredded. Nonetheless, it is very well made. Thanks for sharing.
Μα ποτέ.
A job is a moral requirement for being part of a functioning society. Pick a job that you can love, work really hard while maintaining a family/friends/hobby/religion/exercise/travel. This movie is lovely, but as often with Lefty artistry it paints sides as binary, good vs evil without nuance.
I did not understands clearly
Work less video
How is this video from 3 days ago, BUT THIS COMMENT WAS MADE 4 DAYS AGO???
Si vous avez tendance à devenir déprimé, vous n'êtes pas forcément obligé d'aller en France, les Français en général et tous les francophones en particulier savent très bien l'amener chez vous sous la forme de ce genre de vidéos mauvaises et désastreuses!👎🤢
😢😢sad to sad
