Absolutely loved the closed captions on this. Really added a good bit of humor. I laughed at the 'Head empty. No thoughts. . . Braincells struggling' part. Along with the 'flying fish sounds'. I enjoyed this little short.
Truly a life changing video. The tension and drama had me on the edge of my seat. Ending was very heart breaking. I give it a solid catfish of the fish rateing scale.
My poor dude went though spiraling depression man I feel so bad I feel so bad for him, this is why I don’t like eating catfish it’s because they are so cute
@@zedtheexplorer5206 actually, that’s untrue, many recent studies prove that fish have some or lots of thoughts, depending on the species really. Goldfish actually can be trained, which requires thought and memory
this is so good!! i really love how the fish throughout the animation wishes for a better life, then apprehends possible death to a beast, then at the end falls for the trap of death, and one of the most avoidable ones.. super ironic, love it 🥰
TO EVERYONE WHO SEES THIS: please watch this to the end with subtitles. It is a masterpiece with a hidden masterpiece … That dose not make sense but you get it?
@Elesandra Ele Another thing is, the fish talks about roaming the land and other roles besides being a fish and acts like the struggles of being prey are synonymous with being a fish. Yet, as humans, we know that all animals can be prey to other animals. People say the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, but on the other side they say your side is greener. We all feel stressed because of our struggles, and that’s OK, but you’re not the only one struggling. All humans, all creatures to ever live, have struggled: you aren’t above the laws of reality.
Human lore: ughh, time to pay my bills and work in a office for the entire day again... Monkey lore: I FOOOKIN LOVE THROWING POOP AT THAT LION OVER THERE!
the animatic already was amazing, plus the captions? these made me laugh so much my sister got worried about me lol “flying fish noises” “neon evangelical reference noises” “ending up in the bowels of the beast noise” “braincells working” “head empty, no thoughts”
I am begging y'all, turn captions on to watch this In all seriousness, this is hilarious and really well made, the comedic timing is spot on and the animation is lovely
This movie is amazing in how the nice art style can switch and work with the muaic and dialogue into producing something both cute terrifying at the same time yall earned my sub and my like amazing work and lively art
THIS IS GENUINELY SO GOOD😭 I don't know how to word it but like, it's clever?? At first I was laughing at the title like "haha cute silly little title" but the film it self is?? I do not know, It speaks to me. Is it weird to say it was satisfying??
1:50 looking at this in the dark forbidding atmosphere of a windowless room with only this phone as a light.. it gave me a new emotion that I’d rather never feel again. I’m gunna hit replay
Aaah what a wonderful animation!! The existential crisis came out of nowhere and the ending was just xD I love the nom animation, so smooth! Also, these captions are hilarious xD No thoughts head empty indeed
HOLY HECK THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!!! The animation and the colors and the backgrounds are STUNNING !!!! Its also absolutely adorable the lil fish guy agdhgdf
This short is really cute - I'm a first year BFA student in animation in Europe and had to create a 30 second short, and you were my main artist of reference because of such a cute style paired with such a great concept! well done this is super :+)
For this recipe, you're going to take your copy of The Little Mermaid, extricate any romance elements. With the remaining portion, boil away absolutely all the extra volume until you're left with two teaspoons of condensed, fish-based existentialist perfection. Serves one.
fish really went through an existential crisis about being fish
a lot of fish really do look lightly traumatised
Like you don't do the same /j

She knows too much for being a decent fish and yet give up to instinct. Beautiful

*flying fish noise*
*Neon Evangelion reference noises*
It's like an easter egg :)
It's always cool finding out there are easter eggs for caption users
Ending up in the bowls of a beast
I love how this went from funny and cute to dark and real so quickly
Watching a fish spiral into an extensional depression is truly the best artistic integrity
1:35 *ending up in the bowels of the beast noise* heckin chefs kiss that’s hilarious
yeah lol
Fish: “I don’t wanna be food.”
Also the fish: “I like eating smaller fish and bugs”
Gee almost like a fish, or a human or any other living creature who enjoys eating but not being eaten 🤔
In the animal kingdom, the rule is eat or be eaten.

This is one of the most adorable things I've ever seen. That fish is so likable!
It really is likeable looool. I feel more upset that he bit on the bait than I have when a lot of characters in feature films have died
"im a fish but oh how i wish to not be a fish", brilliantly delivered.
i can totally relate, but at the end of the day we are us and he's a fish.

My favorite film so far, An adorable creature having an existential crisis. Definitely relatable.
"If I weren't already underwater, I could cry"
to much raining
The fish eating the floor and the worm was so expressive and adorable
Oh how I love the ending.
I have had many a fish act like this.
When fishing for fish in a day that is bliss.
I love this animation, it is wonderful.

give it a try
u may be surprised
@@maladaptivemagic1321 yet pray that you don’t get fish in your eyes.
And did the fish then end up on a dish, or did you realease them with glee to be free in the sea?
I love how cute but meaningful this was. I love the captions especially, fun little treat for us subtitle users :}

All I could focus on the whole time was how adorable the fish was! What a cute design :)
I can relate to all of this up to 0:34, then you lose me.
A non-self-aware fish wrote this
This is honestly, a bit sad and has a LOT of meaning

it really isnt that deep, its just a pond

a moment to appreciate the beautiful artwork and the even more entertaining captions, together they made ✨this✨ happen
Omgod this was freaking adorable 😭
But *"Head empty, no thoughts."*
*"Braincells struggling"*

Was hilarious 😂
News flash: fish becomes self aware and starts to question his own existence.

“flying fish noises”

0:10 PPFFFFFT HAHAHAHAHA just- just the way the music stopped immediately after those fish got got is fucking hilarious!!

Just because this inspired me im making fish characters with little footsies and paws now
Thank you :)
Oh god, he's self aware lmao
Your art/animation style is adorable by the way! It reminds me of an animated children's book (If that makes sense).

why is this so cute and so sad and frustrating at the same time ??? Absolutely love the art style btw
I love this! The story is excellent and the animation really makes you feel the emotions of the fish :)

This is such a fun animation! I really love this
I will never emotionally recover from this amazing video
So… the little mermaid looks good! also “I kiss the floor: *mLaM MLaM*” SENDS MEEE
I actually screamed at the ending, they were too cute for this!!
I love the subtitles
Nothing like starting the day by witnessing a fish's midlife crisis! Give me more.
So cute, omg! Fish is so adorable…I sometimes wonder what it’d be like to be a fish :)
"I kiss the floor. Nyom sounds x3' Was my favorite part--

This is really good! I hope it blows up in popularity soon.

I am making the fact this is out everyones problem. (I'm so proud of you :,) )
I am now going to bow down to this person, both for the adorable animation, but also...for the glorious captions.
An absolute work of art, from the lovable voice acting, lines, down to the lovable artwork and animation.

A fish that could never make a film this beautiful :(
The captions are absolutely beautiful

Do you think this poor fish is deserved to be made into a marketable plushie?
this fish is very cute and i wish him a very successful life
0:21 is the best part

The slightly pixelated art style for the backgrounds is so gorgeous. Its giving "ms paint comes to life"
omg i so love ur jobs ;;✨
Greit animatins, backgrounds and the story about fish who just fiish
It’s like a children’s book, but with existential dread.
I love this drawing and animation style!
I would love to watch more masterpieces like this one ❤
Thank you :))
I subscribed!
The captions at the end were so funny “brain cells struggling” “Big NYOM”😂
Im pretty sure this fish is a fish,,,,could be wrong though
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Idk man I also have a sneaking suspicion this fish is a fish, can't be sure 🤔
As a fish, I can confirm we have this thought process daily.
I loved this, very cute, but there sure was a lot of blinking happening for a fish... I mean this in no way offensive to the creators! Great film.
That is by far the cutest catfish I have ever seen! Excellent animation!
The fish will be cute if he was on my plate
*:)*
the captions are so good, whoever did them, good job
**head empty, no thoughts**
**braincells struggling**

What's something your mom doesn't know?
The fish: 2:02

As someone who is interning at a fish hatchery, I can confirm, this is what all our fish think.
