- A lineup of glasses joyfully share ideas, growing in scale after each exchange. But the jubilant cycle is halted by a stubborn jar whose head is already filled.
Animated by Patrick Smith
Produced by Kaori Ishida
Associate Producer Eason Lu
Music by David Berges
Director’s notes:
"Pour 939" is an animated cartoon that was initially drawn as an exercise in visualizing the close minded, and their role in halting a fulfilling exchange of ideas. This simple metaphor was never supposed to be a stand alone film, but the more time I spent drawing it, the more I thought it could hold it's own water (or wine). Interestingly, this short film has no real story, it's simply an illustration of an idea: The moment when people who freely share thoughts are confronted with a person who is closed up. I chose the number 939 because it felt very stubborn and limited to me.
Technical notes:
This film was drawn in Adobe Animate, using a Wacom Cintiq. There are many excellent programs out there (ie flipaclip, marmoset, or doodle) but I use Adobe Animate mostly because it’s the same as the old Flash, which is really the only one I’m familiar enough with to have a consistent work flow (although I’m currently teaching myself toon boom harmony). Since I’m a traditional animator, and don’t do any type of work for gaming or 3d, I work frame by frame in a 2D manner. My last film that I drew on paper was “Masks” which you can watch here: • "MASKS" Exploitation l...

@@XRoxyOnPaws🎉🎉 Congratulations ❤🎉
MUCH brighter tone and concept than the previous pours. I love them all, but this one is just so good! Instead of trying to empty out 939's ideas, they just... move on. And that's so simply beautiful!
thx! glad you liked it.. it's def a simple and short one!
@@PatrickSmithAnimation й1й1лвдвддадалдадададладвшл😰😭😱🧆
A world of harsh dystopian feels, can have some bits of joy.
939 got his thoughts straight and don't want it to change, and the bigger cups just end up a little confused, but they just move on and respect it.
Its not beautiful. 939 was negative he could need help and enlightment for better life
i love how no one forces him or anything. they just let him do his own thing and let him be
same.
Humanity better learn from those cups
Empty him Empty him so we can fill him 😂😂😂😂
@@DeathsGarden-oz9ggbro let the guy be who he wanted to be don't force him, you know this animation is based off humanity
i love how all of them this time is happy and more but 939 is just like:
"is this what my life has become"
More like he shows that he hates everyone
"why am i here"
0p
He went through some things man.
@@davidmarket4285 Meh
I am glad that instead of just one giant cup filling everyone up. They are sharing! Also, they're so happy! I like it!
Edit: Woah, was not expecting to get over 400 likes. Thank you everyone!
a cycle of exchange, thx for comment

@@PatrickSmithAnimation but one is not happy he is like:
Huh it's my turn I'm already filled.
At 0:49 it's kinda funny
Things have really changed since 585 and 668
@@Flower_BFDI_BFDIA_IDFB_BFB thats what you see when everyone gives vaccines and the one Karen refuses to take it
I like how instead of killing him for already having his head full, they just look annoyed and then ignore him, like he's not even a threat to their society he's just a party pooper
yes, that was really the simple idea i was going for. the original tag line was "ignore the close-minded"
@@PatrickSmithAnimation
Meh, most people use "closed-minded" as code for "dissident."
@@PvblivsAelivs Whoever does that they are the real closed-minded ones mate and they should be called out for that.
@@PatrickSmithAnimation Ooh, I love that analogy! It makes so much sense
He got his thoughts straight
Truly appreciated how unique you made each of their heads, and I also love how it still had the same style as the old one! Truly a treasure on the internet!
Thanks, I appreciate this comment. This was a short one, but fun to make. I wrote more about this in the description.
I absolutely loved that broken record pause, it conveyed so much emotion. Everyone was like "WTF!" and that jar guy gave zero f*cks I half expected he was gonna flip everybody off. 😆👍
ha! that record scratch sound was a last minute addition, glad to hear it was effective:)
@@PatrickSmithAnimation it was the most fun part.
He was so chill :(
"What do we do do man?"
"idk"
"K........moving on"
*credits*
that's basically it. I wrote more about the simplicity of this film in the description.
I think the moral of this story is
Someone doesnt want to be filled with something.
He wants to be alone
He is of no threat as he as closed his thoughts to himself.
I like that.
Weird, I saw this as Trump vs Biden 2024. Vote Trump!
insane to think that there’s actual reasoning behind each number used as the odd one out instead of it just being random
Also, i imagine this as
After the events of the previous 2 pour animations, a new person took over, the entire system was rewrote, allowing greater freedom, and even the odd ones out agree to this, except for those who are stubborn and already have their minds filled
Idk if anyone took over 585 since we haven’t seen anything about a cup number that took over in pour 668, 668 was destroyed so we don’t know anything
theres meaning to the numbers?
@@alujis i forgor
A bit of a darker interpretation: 939 has his head already filled with some pretty heavy and dark knowledge/secrets he doesn't want anyone else to know. 938 sharing their knowledge isn't going to change or cleanse the dark liquid from his mind and soul. Screwing the lid on, he is sparing others from the pain of what he knows, keeping their innocence, so the secret dies with him. Others may try to help him, and/or are curious what he is hiding, but they ultimately leave him alone in the end. Some secrets/knowledge/events are best left to die undiscovered and not shared because future generations would be better off without it.
I love this.. thank you! also, the "darker" interpretation is typically what I go for.
Correct
I like how they all seem to get happier down the line, probably because every time the “wine” passes through each head, it gets more flavored, like with the cherries or limes people may have on their head.
Or symbolically, that could also mean people getting more used to and accepted by having a largely spread ideas.
there's great happiness in the exchange of ideas!

i see this as people who are impacted by positive people become positive people. 939 has been impacted by negative people so that’s why he’s a darker color and filled all the way up. he is so used to the dark red to the point of closing the lid.
I wasn't expecting all of them to have different shaped heads....Cool! :D
Some also have ice, cherries, lemon slice, and many other drink decorations.

I think that one is my favorite so far in your number serie. Simple and efficient, It's demonstrate perfectly the metaphor of stubborn and close minded peoples, all in a playful manner! Congratulation, and thank you for sharing !
thx for such a rad comment. it's funny, because it's short i thought it would be easier to make than the others, but it actually took me same amount of time.
@@PatrickSmithAnimation I know the feeling ^^ . Animation is a very time consuming process. Short or very short will still be long or very long in the making. But it's always magic to see it move ! (literally and figuratively)
@@PatrickSmithAnimation exelente!!!
You call them close-minded because they don't share the same opinion as yours.
Good question @@edwinve4112 . Nop, I call them close-minded because he put a lid on his head... I love people how don't share my opinions, and even more when we can talk about these differences and learn from them to be more tolerent and more loving.
More I look at this, the more it feels like a metaphor for depression. 939s head is filled with a “darker” drink. The other glasses notice but he closes his glass(head) and is eventually left behind as the others cant do anything and everything forget that he exists moving on with their lives.
that is a unique take on this.. very insightful. thx for such a great comment!
I like the message and the animation is still great
What is it I am not sure of what I have concluded
Read the description
Don't forget the sound effects are good too and make you feel thristy
This might be simple but it has a meaningful perspective of the mindset of each individual
It's quite clever using different type of glass
That's good one Patrick
great comment. yes, super simple. I was worried it was too short and simple, but decided it was a strong enough metaphor. also.. this was actually more animation than the others, because there were more characters
Some people aren’t as open minded as the rest of us, that’s perfectly fine.
Do whatever you want (as long as you aren’t hurting other people)

Thank you kindly!
The animation is so well made and the characters are all so likeable
Lol 69 likes
I love the fact that slowly they are slowly gaining more difference and unique qualities instead of the same thing! It’s so sweet
They are all happy but that one glass is just like: "Nothing." "Life is nothing."
I like how the glass have many styles 😎.
Some minds: * happily sharing *
939 who's already full: *disgusting*
I’ve always wondered where they go after they get filled with liquid. Maybe they get transferred to a city type place with other wine glasses where if they want to do something they have to show their number for confirmation? Or perhaps a bar where they get served off to people? Ur animations are amazing and the fact you can make so much character development with no dialogue at all impresses me. It’s pretty hard to get that in short films!
thx! great comment.. i've never considered where they go after.. maybe that can be a new film
@@PatrickSmithAnimation _oooh secret spoilers?_ lol

@@PatrickSmithAnimation I can’t wait.
0:49 THAT NEARLY ALWAYS GETS ME 😂
I think of this like someone who has been through some rough patches, and wont let anybody hurt him again..
This is what a Utopian universe is like. The civility and happiness between most individuals and the ignorance of those who are closed-minded creates the atmosphere of a bright, happy society. Nice work!
Fantastic work is always Smith.
The concept of open minded and closed minded have clearly been 😍
They look more concerned about 939 the annoyed, their like “bro, you good, what’s this thing on your head?”
I like how they’re all happy and 939 is like
“what are you looking at.”
I feel like 939 has a different opinion than the others they don’t really care so they just left 939 alone
I love how all of those videos can be viewed as negative or positive depending on your vision of the world
Yes! that's very important!
I like how 933’s face is not like the others except 939 but he has a smile
I think liquid is a metaphor for love. Each glass transferred its care to another and he grew morally. 939 closed from others, it is already filled with another liquid, darker, this is most likely the reverse side of love - anger, irritability, sullenness. But such people arouse interest in society for only a couple of minutes, then they "step over" this person and restore the usual rhythm of life. While an evil person remains alone without moral growth.
so good. such a great comment
This animation was very short but I like these different heads and the message of close minded people.
A closed mind never grows.
You can't change people mind or opinion about things, gotta accept that we're all entitled to our thoughts and opinions.
i love the sound design so much the little clinks of the glass and the sound of the pouring its so cool
thx! I worked really hard on the sound
I really appreciate the different head shapes.
No wonder it took so long, it must've been a lot of work!
I can't wait to see what you're up to next^^
I imagine that in this one, something happened with the machine, or someone rebelled. Something happened and everyone became much more free as to what they were allowed to think and believe.
Honestly I love how everyone interprets these short films differently bc for me personally, I thought of it as adults pouring their knowledge into children to help them grow however jar 939 was forced to grow up by themselves as a young age however it remained small because it didn’t have proper support or education to fully grow. Instead of helping to empty its problems, the other hard continue on with their order similar to society.
great comment, thanks for your interpretation!
How they would act if this was in the olden days: KILL HIM
How they really acted: well sh*t he's already full get back to work I guess
I really like how they just leave the jar alone and move on. Sometimes you really just have to let it be.
It’s here gamers, it’s here.
I just want to say, I really love your work. Being someone who grew up in a family affected by a post-soviet background, I can see the parallel of the soviet regime and what you did in pour 585. You capture very complex ideas incredibly elegantly in your shorts. Thank you for making them!
thx for comment! means a lot coming from your personal experience. I'm a huge fan of Huxley and Orwell, which is where the source of my ideas typically originate.
@@PatrickSmithAnimation Same! 😌👍
I like how this one is kinda more positive, less darkish, and more realistic
Initially, I was somewhat put off by the sudden change from "oppressive dystopian society" to "(mostly) happy community with sharing and caring principles " but come to think of it, the change is actually quite welcome.
times have changed old man
I just loved it. For me it passes a kind of "if you have your own thinks no one else will put ideas on your mind" message
As someone who’s close minded (no pun intended) this literally relatable sometimes in life, but the fact that when Pour 585 started with someone being afraid of getting poured but soon grew bigger and restarted the whole cycle then came 668 who died when mixing too much of the drink and grew way bigger to 939 not growing or anything they are filled but doesn’t grew big and even closed their head
amity blight
A short film with tons of meanings 🔥🖤
Huge RESPECT straight out all the way from Saudi Arabia 🎩✌️
that's awesome.. hope all is great in Saudi Arabia. and thank you very much for the time you spent watching my animation, truly appreciated.
I like how you can see change from 585 to 939. In 585, all the glasses looked the same with the same bored expressions, being filled from the same large glass to be transformed into an exact copied image of the big glass. The only one who’s afraid is 585, until he’s forced to be filled and grows bigger, taking the original glass’s place as the tyrant.
In this one, however, all the glasses have different shapes. They all look happy, sharing ideas with each other, except 939, who closes himself off to them. However, instead of forcing him, the others just leave him alone, since he’s not really doing anything bad.
thanks for good comment!
not sure what this means but the animation is great. love the style
1:49
OMG THERE'S A SHOT GLASS ONE
It's so cute!
i love that little guy.. maybe i'll give him his own story.
i love watching animations with actual meanings to them and reading everyone's perspectives in the comments is very interesting to me, great work :)
I totally agree!
I would love to see another short film in the “Pour” saga. Keep up the great work!
working on next one now.. title will be "POUR GAMES"
I really love how they're all smiling, as if they are enjoying what they're doing.
Love your artwork since 2017.
thx! 2017 doesn't fee that long ago.. but omg that's 5 years!
Its nice to see them all helping each other :)
I really love the message! And the animation my gosh is it so fluid. Once again just bravo for such amazing work!
thx a lot! this is a quick one
@@PatrickSmithAnimation a quick one! I’m even more impressed to think you could have made such a well done animation in a short time
Sometimes we fill ourselves with what the world and people want, and we forget that we can fill ourselves with what we really like.
Looks nice seeing happy beings gladly waiting for their fillings. These make me happy, diverse heads, same mindsets.
Amazing as always!
Cool👍
I like the message of the cup that’s already filled up but grows a mindset that everything is bad around him it might be a MESSAGE of PAIN
My theory is that it’s like teaching. They each fill eachothers mind with knowledge, while they are all not the same. Like how one glass uas a straw, and how one has a lemon. That indicates how different each one’s personality is, even though they’re all willing to share their knowledge. :)
Aww, now they're working together and look so happy! :3 I also love the variety of shapes the little Wine Guys have now!
The one with the "closed jar" head really serves as an allegory for most of the close minded population in this world. Some things never change.
Maybe it's just simply that they have a different opinion from yours.
Once again a great animation done by you. It’s sad how the jar heads get filled but they are just smaller than the rest. But one positive thing I will say out of many is how cool it is how many different cups glasses jars you drew I think that’s cool. Keep up the glass series I love it.
“Just move on”.
Greatest inspiration u can get from an animation short like this.
I like how when they saw 939 they were like
WAIT A DAMN MINUTE!
“ The gift keeps on giving! “
Jarhead: “ *Nope* “
Great animation btw, I love the amount of variety you gave to each cup!
short but i wasnt expecting this, pretty smooth and nicely animated
thx.. yes, very short.. i wrote about that in the description. thx again yo!
I Love Your Animations They Are Pretty Good!! ❤❤
thank you!
With this level of animation, you should be on Netflix by now.
thx! I'll let you know when they call hahaha
I swear I never understand what your animation about but I always love it
I believe it’s based on society.
@@monsterftw4481 I think so

Your animation style is very much your own and incredibly unique. You've quite the gift. The drawings are relatively simple (not a bad thing by any means) but the fluidity, consistency, weight, and liveliness in your shorts definitely makes for a very recognizable style. Your grasp on the physics and movement of things is also very impressive. Please never stop what you do. We all really appreciate the work you put into your craft.
thank you very much, this assessment means a lot to me.. and yes i will not stop:)
A lesson that tells us to not dread in your problems, but to head towards a better future.
The glasses could represent your problems being solved one by one, some can solve other problems, and other problems resort to other problems, in which if they are solved, other problems will be solved.
But there was one problem. A problem that is hard to solve. Yet no solution could crack this problem, there was one solution that could help: moving on.
People tend to stay in their problems, having regrets, and dreading from these past mistakes that can no longer be undone. But we can move on to a better future, it's not like we can't.
Just move on. A lot of people cry about their past mistakes, or even their past relationships, but just move on. A better future awaits.
Resembling a more tolerant society this time i see
La animación fue más corta que las anteriores pero al menos entendí el mensaje.. respeta la opinión de los de mente estrecha y sigue solo adelante. (Muy buen trabajo).
Hi sir/ maam I have a question who filled that jar.? What are your opinion on it .
Another great video! I still love how you still make these kind of videos! I just adore the "Pour ???" series! Hope to see more!
Also, it's amazing how you make these high-quality sounds by yourself! You sacrifice so much for these videos! Thank you!
This wine society is sharing knowledge and not discriminating. I like them.
Dark red=disappointing
Red=bit happy
Wow… how are these (pour series) all the same, but completely different?
I love that you’re managing to sustain and grow as an independent artist/animator. I’m assuming your animation style is straight ahead (correct me if I’m wrong), is your story planning the same way? Or do have a grand scheme you’re working toward?
hey man! i approach these fairly typically with a storyboard (ie th-cam.com/video/ZSZY3rSBtqI/w-d-xo.html).. as for animation, the only element that is straight ahead is the liquid, everything else is keyed and tweened. thx for comment, always great to hear from another animator.
Redwater is blood
Your animations is perfect!
I love your animations, good luck in the future!!!!
great job as always, can't wait to see new episodes 🥳
Pour 939 is so. Cool.
Their eyes give me countryball vibes
Love the personalities you give these guys and the metaphor for information.
The 900s be chill af
The fact that they don’t even make a big deal out of it, they just move on to the next guy
I like how in this short the ones who are filling up unfilled minds don’t mind the stubborn already filled guy and just are fine with that break in the line
I love how this entry in the POUR series shows that just like in our real world dystopia not absolutely everything is bad (I'm talking about the guys sharing ideas)
