Showing the immense amount of emotion from invalidation is a very good interpretation from a victim of bullying's perspective. Thankfully that person found empathetic people instead of a bunch of gaughty teenagers who think they are better than everyone else. It's often hard to come by anyone that understanding and harder to keep friends who share your interests and views
It's also a good example of rejection-sensitive dysphoria! People who have it will often react just as strongly to percieved, imagined, or anticipated rejection/ridicule as anyone else would react to actually being rejected.
Facts. I’ve actually experienced this.
And the sadder thing is, without that, many bully victims end up becoming bullies themselves. This an issue not a lot of people talk about, we individualize too many things or look through smaller lenses.
@@godzillavkk It's the same way with Abuse Victims becoming the Abusers themselves. People don't often understand unless they have been through it themselves.
@@thegreatcanadianlumberjack5307 That's right. Making it a us and them situation won't solve it when the lines blur too much.
I like that this animation didn't have any bullies or mean people. Everyone was genuinely kind and understanding, and the only insecurity was in the protagonist's fear of invalidation.
Agreed. Reading the first few comments, I was expecting the kid to have been bullied but then saved by a group of kids. I'm glad it was just his own thoughts and paranoia the entire time
Plus, bullies are more often used to emotionally manipulate audiences into supporting terrible things happening to the bullies. That makes us no better.
It's funny, until I read the comments I didn't even realize the glasses were to cover a scar. I just assumed he needed glasses and was embarrassed about the way he would look while wearing them. I was then very confused when he gave the glasses back at the end haha
I thought he didn't need them because the scar is gone (2:53)
@@brunoais Gone because he finally do not see it himself. He finally accept himself the way he is, so, in a sense, his scar disappear from his mind. Sometimes the thing you try to hide attract all the light and attention to it. I could be wrong and it could be just a mistake from the artist, but it make sense to me in a way. :)
I love this
It's like showing that everyone has imperfections and flaws to them, but that doesn't change who you actually are just because of them
Your personality does not reflect on how you look, your personality is what reflects your personality
No matter your imperfections, it doesn't matter, you're still loved and you're still the same you personality wise
I thought it was scars
Exactly. Unfortunately, not everybody understands this
You know in some ways, the fox lucked out. A scar over the eye almost ensures that one day he will become the protagonist or antagonist or a 90’s action film.
Disability is not a flaw! as a disabled person, this is really sweet! well done
can can can rain world can
It's not really about disabilities here - none of them have difficulties through their imperfections; it's more about personal damage and how we let that affect ourselves... because as it turns out, a lot of people have damage in one way or another.
he wasn't blind, it was the scar on his face that he was trying to hide by using glasses
@@lovebug7985in the technical sense of the word, having trouble seeing without the help of a tool is being disabled, it's just one of the world's most common disabilities so it has been "normalized"
@@lovebug7985nvm just saw the end of the animation 🤡 i still stand by what I said tho people think being blind (fully or partially) is the only visual disability
Amazing work!
This brought tears to my eyes.
Having a scar myself. I could relate to this little pup. It does get better. And people will love you for who you are.
I hope this video gets to be showcased in a
Movie or possibly one of those group shows like love death robots or Disney's inspired videos.
I don't think enough people are talking about how wonderful the animation is and how well the story was told without dialogue!! Even though we only see the characters for a max of 3 minutes, I've already fallen in love with each one of them!!
I suffer from pretty bad self-esteem problems and am getting help but this video really struck a note. Thank you.
If its not to much or forward. The best way I have found with dealing with low self esteem is to only care about the opinions of people you respect. If someone does not like you or thinks something you do is bad or not good or ugly. Then that is their issue. GO on and enjoy your day. Words are only as powerful as we make them
For everyone with a noticeable flaw, imperfection, disability, etc., a little story. I went to a church for a short time that had a woman going who had an enormous goiter on her neck. The first few times I ever saw her, that's all I could see, was that enormous goiter. About the fourth or fifth time I saw her, I actually started to notice the person and not the goiter. She turned out to be a very nice and interesting person. Whatever your outward flaws, they eventually become irrelevant to the people around you, so quit fretting over them.
It's not easy for everyone you know 😒
@@foxpro3002 I know.
I love how the animation shows the kid's internal viewpoint with visuals - at first the scar on his(?) face is his own focus, dominating to such a point has to try to hide it with his ear, (tbh I had thought at first it was shame at not being able to see and took me a bit to realize that the glasses were an attempt to "cover it up" as it were, instead of a "now I can actually see" thing) and at the end it doesn't even show the scar at all because it has become nothing to him anymore, just part of his face such that it disappears off his mind, and likewise disappears for us.
So even though he didn't take the pair of glasses at the end, he got a new pair of glasses to look through - a different perspective. Wonderful animation and good emotional drive through it.
I....I'm thoroughly impressed by this!!!!
I love the mixture of 2D and 3D animation styles, the heartwarming lesson about being vulnerable, and just the character designs you made!
you're definitely on your way as a future animator!
I love how you can tell a story without one spoken word. Well done! 🐺🔧
This is so sweet. ❤ I have various scars from surgeries and injuries. When I was young, I got a gash in my arm from broken glass. I got stitches but there's still a very noticeable scar, even now almost 30 years later. My mom was trying to help me not be self-conscious about my scar. It's an oval shape with three lines on both sides from the stitches. She told me to pretend that it's a bug tattoo. From then on, I referred to it as my big tattoo and I still do to this day. That's when I learned how to own my scars. I make up lore in my head for what that scar could be from. My thyroidectomy scar that looks like my neck was slit is _actually_ from a battle with some ninjas. The scar I got from dropping a real (but thankfully dull) sword on my foot while I was volunteering at a joust is _actually_ from getting stabbed by a knight in a war. There are a few where the story behind the scar is enough to make it a badge of honor on its own. The scars I got from fighting off a dog that was attacking my puppy are still just from defending my puppy from the bigger dog, because I somehow found physical strength that I didn't know I had to be able to hold it off.
Inventing a fictional story to go with my scars helps so much for almost all of them, and I have a lot. I've always been very injury-prone and scars don't heal too well on my skin due to hEDS.
While i never lost anything physically, i did grow up under life-threatening kidney issues while i was a baby, then appendicitis when i was a kid. While i cant remember the memories as well or at all from this time, i can still feel the feelings from it. Despite this, i wouldnt consider these things “tragic” by any means despite the years of genuine pain they caused (the kidney issues especially since that was a 2 year long process.) They made me into who i am now, and made me into a person who i can confidently say is kind and caring.
Everyone gets really hard periods in their lives, but you can still look at them positively and be happy for who you are now or who you will become.
This is so cute, amazing work 😿 👏 👏
Thank you!! 💕
the world needs to be more like this
This was really super fantastic! It made me cry and I love how well each character is defined simply by their actions. The only thing I'm a little confused and very intrigued by (and this in no way takes away from the story and its message) is that the antlered (elk/deer/moose?) shopkeeper's imperfection is a missing antler. Typically, they shed every year, so a broken antler wouldn't usually be a problem. They'd just grow a new set of antlers in the place of the old broken ones and be done with it. Perhaps they have an injury or disability that interferes with the normal process and when one of their antlers broke it was permanent damage, hence why they had been fitted out with a prosthetic antler and why they were so kind and understanding of the little dog. I get that it's an animation about anthropomorphic animals, and will, by its nature, be unrealistic, but it really got my theory brain going. I really love how sweet and kind the shopkeeper is and how they know exactly what to do to help the dog become more confident and find friends. I just want to know more about them.
I almost cried, everyone may have imperfections. but it makes them just as special as they were before hand.
Dude I'm literally crying right now.. How dare you pull my heartstrings with a cute, partially tragic, super wholesome and well-done animation like that
I am going to

THIS IS THE CUTEST DAMN THING- as someone with scars and prosthetics, this really does bring some joy and helps with my confidence. As a kid, I was super self conscious about my scars and my prosthetics, to if you had shown me this way back when, it would have helped me a lot. This is too freaking cute.
Everyone’s sleeping on the music. Animation is great and all but the music really brings out the emotion in this. The animation might not have any words, but the music communicates it so well. Great work to the one who produced it!
I have been wearing glasses since birth. earlier, when I went to kindergarten, I was very shy about my features. I have been ridiculed by many children for wearing glasses.
however, now that I'm in school, I've come to terms with the fact that I'll wear glasses until I'm 18. why under 18? maybe I'll do laser correction, and improve my vision. and now, when I watch your short film, I almost cry.
and I've only recently come to terms with the fact that I wear glasses.
thanks to you, it became more pleasant and easier for me to wear my beautiful round-rimmed glasses that help me live. glasses are my highlight, even if they sometimes do not decorate me
I'll be honest: at the school I went to, if a kid had a scar like that across his eye he'd have been thought of as the coolest kid in the school.
Awesome short! Love the 2D and 3D blend! Nice work! 👏👏👏
Wow. The warm-fuzzies are real, there. Thats the sort of thing that needs to be seen on television more. I wish everyone could see this and be inspired to be better friends.
I like how at the end, his scar was gone. I think that is beautiful because it can show that it doesn’t matter to him anymore (at least, not in a bad way).
I almost thought that I was the only one who noticed!
I watched this again after a year, and I almost didn’t notice the second time! It’s only at the very very end, after he gives up the thing he hid behind. I feel that that says something more as well.
It goes to show that being different isn't bad, it just means you're one of a kind
i thought the deer ripped their antler off through sheer strength then realized it was prosthetic.
It's so nice that at the last scene when he walks away, there is no scar anymore, because it's no longer what defines him.
This is such a wholesome short, you deserve more attention you're so underrated!! 👏
Our scars tell stories of how we became who we are. I should know, thanks for making this.
I love how warm and gentle the shop owner feels. Just so kind and caring to somebody who’s insecure and in fear of being invalidated.
I'm openly weeping over this. The story was told perfectly without dialog and I FELT this poor little dog's feelings 🥺 I've only known him for 3 minutes and I love him
love the little detail at the end where the pups scar vanishes after he hugs the Stag, like he doesnt see it anymore so neither do we
ya'know. . . I thought it was an animation error, but that does make a bit of sense.
it is not physic that can bring people together but rather our integrity that allow us to regroup
How adorable! The backgrounds are nice to look at. I love the character designs, the shopkeeper especially. Such a cozy and comforting feel. :]
Powerful story and beautiful presentation! This speaks volumes about how none of us have to be "perfect" to fit in. Our differences are what make us unique and special. I love how this touches on the fact that people with "imperfections" are everywhere, even if you don't see them at first or at all. 😸
Aww, that’s so sweet c: Makes me feel better!!
This short really stings with me emotionally. I have been a victim of bullying twice and this made me cry. Whoever made this short, thank you. ;u;
it's not what you look like that's exciting about wering glasses for the first time. It's the fact you CAN SEE!
OMG I DIDN'T KNOW THE WORLD HAD THIS AMOUNT OF DETAIL!
The entire world looks brand new. Also, if it's his first time, how does he know what his prescription is? magic?
Puts the phrase “we all have our scars” into perspective
Oh my... I thought this was gonna be one of those sad animations, but no, this brought tears to my eyes in a different way, especially the representation of anxiety.
I love this! So we’ll communicated and understood. As someone with a considered invisible disability for the most part, til it reads it’s ugly head, it’s pretty wild finding someone who actually understands. So special when you do.
This once again proves that the best stories can be told without words, and still be considered masterpieces.❤
this is the sweetest thing I've seen in years you all did so well
Dang it, why does another animated short film have to be amazing? 😤😂 I love how this one depicts bullying victims, it’s very hard to reach out your hand again, but it’s a blessing to have those who are willing to do it for you.
the guy with the broken antlers is my favorite in character design and personality
this made me tear up, amazing work!
I am crying and it is definitely the good sort, for I too have found friends willing to deal with my numerous bits and bobbles that aren't quite "right". So sweet.... thank you for this.
We all have scars. They don’t make us less. They make us distinct. So don’t let it be a weight on your shoulder.
"We're not flawless, we're a work in progress."
That feeling of putting on your first pair of glasses really is the best feeling, I got that feeling a lot though since I was always very clumsy hehe...
The hug at the end i literally wanna cry
Kids, don't you ever be ashamed of the scars you have.
The scar is missing at the end when he turns because it no longer matters if he has one. He is no longer defined by it because he has met people who don't define him by it. The power of not being judgmental.
This is adorable and extremely well done. Nice work!
You guys have SO MUCH potential, I hope your channel grows
Wholesomeness overload
Probably the most sweetest animation I will see for a long time. Beautiful message and artwork!
That deer looks so goddamn cuddly
I just wanna pet him really bad
I was so confused, I thought he was afraid of needing glasses and the scar was bullying for having worn them before. I didn't even think about him covering the scar with non-prescription glass.
This is such an important lesson that sadly not everybody seems to understand
This deserves so much more recognitiom😭🙏🏼SO WELL DONE💖💖💖
Such a cute amazing sweet story !!!
Very inspiring 🌟❤️😭
So this animation explains the reality of being imperfect and trying to overcome it.
Absolutely part of the best side of TH-cam.
WHAT A PERFECTLY KIND LOOKING SHOP KEEPER I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS
NO BECAUSE I ACTUALLY CRIED WITH THIS 😭😭😭😭 THIS IS SO WELLMADE
Heartfelt and heartwarming at the same time.
Everyone in this world needs a hug
I’m literally at work.. and I cried.. this is beautiful
This is one of the most adorable things I've ever seen ❤
So basically this is about a dog with self esteem problems with himself because of his scar, wow I have to say the art style and animation is great not only that but even as a person with bad condition himself and very low self esteem problems I can agree with his struggles but at the end you can't always care what others say about you just go through your own thing without idiots talking or making you look bad at all this video is amazing I love it myself and hope it helps me more in the future
Man this is just so stinking cute, usually I’d swear to express this level of emotion but it’s too darn cute for me to use real swears. Fantastic job, keep it up!
I love this its so sweet
A title like little imperfections would fit well with such a sweet accepting group
This is so heart warming and wholesome animation.
The protagonist sure shares strong personality traits with the Virgin from VvC, but this is well done.
Even the Stag is a supportive Chad. Good job!
This is so sweet! My heart is melting...
Imperfections are beautiful and unique. I wish I and the rest of the world could see it more beautifully for myself and others.
We all got our scars, we try to hide them, we try to ignore them, but the truth is our scars make us who we are
i cant handle such cuteness
My heart!
They are such a nerd in thoes glasses!
I Love 'em!
This made me cry just a little bit
*howling and bawling for 15 minutes
I'm crying. Literally.
I cried. Love this animation so much
I love this the scar means you went through something hard and came back stronger
I love this so much. It's fluid and tells a story so well without words. Absolutely beautiful 💜
I love that every character looks amazing
This deserves more attention i loved this!
Bro the animals are so cute😭
Omg, why did this make me bawl like a baby?!
Every organism has an imperfection of one sort or another. Hell, I have a section of my left eyebrow missing from when a hot iron struck my face many years ago, and an indented line on my forehead it left as well. The moral I’ve gleaned from life is, Sh*t happens. No matter who you are, no money nor fame nor anything can prevent that. So one must live with it. Simple as that. Also, antlers grow back, Unless cauterization was caused on the site of injury, interestingly. I wonder what the backstories of these fine folk are?
Why did the hot iron touch your face
This was absolutely gorgeous! The animation and quality is god-tier! ❤️🖤
Awww. This is adorable!
This was so lovely, I cried heart warming tears.❤
The animation is beautiful omg 😭😭
This will be my childhood
Daww... this was a very beautiful and cute short film, with a very sweet message 💖
This animation is adorable and each character has so much personality :)
