omg aaaaaa i love so many things from this, dont mind me listing them all :'D
- the expression when they have their eyes on the rings and the gremlin smile of determination like >:)
- DASHING through the kitchen, shopping note flying forgotten. biting the cereal box and the box animation being fluid (??? idk how to explain it 😭😭). it reminds me of shark biting into things and i loveee when people make animation of shark bites hehe :D
- the cereal being cartoonishly high HAHAH then proceed to crumble
- BANGING ON THE TABLE, THE SPOON FLIP, AND GRABBING THE SPOON LIKE THIS SEQUENCE IS SO COOL???? WHOA
- the face of realization that the milk is empty because it feels lighter, i just love this detail!
- turning into dragon when milk is empty is peak human emotion (and the entire animation is just WOW like the dragon design??? breaking the building??? the FIRE??? THE LIGHTNING!!! HELLO!!!!)
- the dragon has the same hair style as the human version and the shookt expression :O it's so cutee
- THE FROG LIKE BLINKING (???? 😭😭😭) IS JUST SO FUNNY HAHAHAH
- the note flying down at the end is the CHERRY ON TOP when you realize they were standing on milk aisle at the start lmaooo
so many details on this animation! :') the voices and background noises, music, and sfx are adding the perfection!
OMG THANK YOU 😭😭 ur the first person to notice the hair on both character designs it makes me so happy 💜💜⭐️⭐️
you made this animation even better by highlighting these things, so thank you
though i thought there was a frog hidden somewhere, and now im sad
@@dracibatic2433omg lol i just thought that the way they blink at the end reminded me of a frog 😭
@@xray.alpha.charliei lost count how many times i rewatched, paused, and zoomed in on this just to admire the details on the animations and backgrounds like this is SO EPIC. also dragons. absolutely LOVE them
That spoon flip was so cool, had to rewatch it so many times now
A mood ring that transforms you based on the mood? There's huge series potential there!
Right! This has so much potential for a killer Netflix series (because that's, unfortunately, the only platform cartoons have a slim chance of surviving on right now.)
@@GeneBean43what about indie animation on youtube?
Agreed!
agreed netflix would eat that up
Dtoons!! What are you doing here?
I just watched it and as a human I can agree on that's how it feels when you have cereal but no milk.
Whaaaaat I love cereal without milk
@Idkanymore876 Psychopath spotted
@@Idkanymore876 Psychopath spotted
@@Idkanymore876 It's not the same when you want to eat cereal without milk you eat it but if you want to eat it with milk and suddenly it turns out there is no milk it's not cool
cereal when no milk
dry bowser
The shot of the dragon through the fire, like drawn in black is GORGEOUS
Only other time I've seen this is Broly in DBZ Fighterz
I noticed that too, it’s actually so good though
That's called the impact frame I believe
Right?? That shot was absolutely stunning-such a powerful visual!
I love how at the beginning they were literally right next to the milk aisle 😭
And how she was holding & staring at the sticky note telling her to buy milk 😂
@ yeah lol
ADHD
That was the only thing on their list
ADHD is like that >_> lol (Teasing. She may not have it but I do and that outcome of being right there and coming back with something else feels ... just typical). ;p
First video I’ve seen with an upcoming release, with an actual intro to tide me over.
That's such a clever way to keep the hype going! Definitely makes the wait feel a bit shorter!
Once you start watching it, you can't stop. The expressions, body language, colours, everything - is absolutely perfect. Keep it up!! ~❤
thanks!!
Totally agree! It’s impossible to look away once you're in-everything is just so well done! Can’t wait to see more! ❤
0:35 that spoon trick was CLEAAAN 🔥🔥🔥
YES! as soon as i saw that my first thought was "wow, that's insanely smooth, i need to replay that"
100th like
AAAAA THAT WAS SO COOL!!! I LOVE HOW EXPRESSIVE AND EXAGGERATED THIS ISSSSS OMGGG! NOT TO MENTION THE SMOOTH FLUID MOVEMENTS!! UR ONE OF MY BIGGEST INSPIRATIONS, SO GLAD TO SEE THIS FROM U!! THIS ACTUALLY INSPIRED ME TO ANIMATE AGAIN OMG
IM GONNA PUT THIS FILM ON REPEAT NOW
0:11 depiction of me whenever I see new content from xierra (I love to see anything cause every upload shows your progress and you are the bossss 😎👑)
Omg I can’t wait to see a short film from you 😭 ur animations inspire me :)
Been a fan for a while. Out of all the artists I've seen, your art style is my favorite.
Your videos have been bringing me so much joy for so many years. I really appreciate your contributions to the community, and for sharing your talent bravely with the world. I have been working on animating and you have been such a huge inspiration on my journey. Thank you. ❤ ❤❤
Super enjoyable animated short. The story is relatable in real life while also quirky and adorable. I love how the supernatural thing happened so quickly and hilariously. I love the girl protagonist looks cute and her randomly exposed midriff as well.
The creative master has returned!!
I love watching student films because they’re always just so fun and fluid in the animation, and the expressions always tend to pop! Plus your the person who did it, so I can garuntee it’s good lmao
this is amazing! not only are the animations super smooth, but the story and the meaning behind it are great as well!
I'm so excited, I love your animations and you have a great art style and "lore/backstory" it's really cool :)
Edit: I just watched the video and I'm dying. I feel like wanting the ring so bad as a kid is so relatable 😭
Burst out LAUGHING at the end because of course you forgot the one thing you went to the store to get and subsequently turned into a dragon. This was so well done!
I love how fluid everything in this film looks! Fun to watch from beginning to end!!
I love your animating so muchhhh! >_< If this were out as a movie I’d already be finished with it-
Can’t believe you’re back!! I’ve been checking your channel almost every week, hoping you’d come back❤ I’m so happy you’re here! This is so relatable btw amazing animation as always
Yay im first!
I can't wait to see the animation, i missed you! One of my favorite characters ftom your ocs is Wassabi and Z. Ilysm, NEVER GIVE UP THIS AMAZING TALENT ❤
I am in LOVE with this short omg. The animation is so fluid?? The character is so lively and expressive??? The concept is fun and interesting without being overly complex???? Absolute banger 100/10
That cereal company's gettin a lawsuit.
oh my god, this is awesome!! the way the character and hair move is so perfect, i love it
you guys did so well with this, it’s literally eye candy!! great job, never give up
THE QUEEN HAS POSTED!! beautiful animation
I kept rewatching every scene. This is amazing animation. I can imagine the days and nights of hard work that was spent on this. Great job! ❤🎉
Oh, by the way, my little sister wanted to watch this, but she’s sleeping
Wake her up😭🫶
@ ok
Fraud behavior
i love how lively all the movements are! the way hair moves at even the slightest movements, the different angles, it’s all amazing!!!
you are alive!
Cool consept. I can imagine a superhero or something with a pocket full of those to use when necessery
AHH U POSTED edit: this is so creative the ring transforming thing is such a good idea whaaaa
Your animations deserve to be in movies because they surprise me a lot♡
I’ve been watching your animations for just a bit over two years now, and it’s incredible to see how much you’ve grown and improved your skills, especially in such a short period of time! Amazing work as always
Having your cereal already on the bowl and realizing you have no milk anymore is the worst thing that can happen, a tragedy you might even say...
Funny enough, I was watching some of your old animations over the past few days, thinking about how it’d been a while since you posted. So good to see you again. Love the fluidity in this one. Keep up the awesome work!
Very excited to see another creative mind showing their creativity, always so passionate and full of life!
This is some of the most fluid animation you’ve ever done, truly amazing! Congratulations Xierra, I loved it! 😎👍🏻
Bruh I love it- I wanna animate to your just have a beautiful art style and I bet it takes a lot of creativity for this ..I hope to see more animations for you might be able to do your own movies ^^
I am an aspiring animator and i just have to say that i love your videos. I first found you through the video with Ash and Z and the lollipop. And i was immediately like "Wow. I want to do that" So, thank you for keeping my spark for wanting to animate alive and I love your videos, as always 🫶🫶
Hooray more animation
Time to wait again
(0:51 This shot is so cool omg)
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS ANIMATION, ITS SO SMOOTH, NOT TO MENTION THE COLORS, EXPRESSION FIT SO PERFECTLY , IM SO GLAD THAT YOUR BACK I STARTED TO GET WORRIED ABOUT MY FAVORITE ANIMATOR!!💗💗💗
Bro, this anamation is so real and smooth, it tickled my brain to she them flip that spoon. 0:33
Wow this is amazing, your been my favorite animator and the reason I got in to art. Btw I love you ocs ash and z!
this is so amazing. i love your animation so much. youre an inspiration:)
I feel like every video is better than the last, they just get better
Yes finally after so long
I am excited for this
And one day i will be an animator like you
That's absolutely amazing!!
The animation is so slick and quirky. I love it😁
That was amazing!! Congratulations on your animation!! Hope to see more of your work!! If you ever need a voice I be happy to lend!
Your animations are literally so incredible!! So smooth and I ADORE the camera angles!! You are amazing
When things don’t turn out the way that we want them to it can be easy to succumb to unbridled rage. Unfortunately, often times one can find themselves coming to grasp the negative connotations of that rage far too late after the fact.
I once heard that anger can be an aggressive means to express another emotion; regret seems to be what the character is exuding in this short film.
So the next time you experience anger, taking the time try to understand what this anger stems from can prevent you from creating an even worse scenario in the future.
Yay! Someone else who understands the meaning of the story and not just how cool (and the animation is VERY COOL) the animation looks!
Nice reference to Elementals btw, that lesson has been kept in kind for a while and I’m glad someone else agrees with its importance!
Also, I think another lesson (besides controlling anger and the consequences of a lack thereof) is that (savage) life continues on even after you experience anger/tragedy.
Also, going back to anger, small things can make you blow up, but after you realize how small the problem was, you can feel empty and break down from realizing your petty anger.
This has to be some of the cleanest character animation I’ve seen in a minute. Excellent work 😍
This is gonna sound weird but I'd kill to see this as a Cartoon Network show (I'd kill to see anything as a CN show in this day and age 😭)
Do you think it would be called mood swing, cause they transformed based on their emotions with the ring on?
my gosh your animations are beautiful. the movement, the timing, the expression, the posing, the character designs. it's fantastic!
Omg I can’t waiittt!!
Edit: Ho-ly crap. I love it
crashing out this crazy over no milk is insane. you know what else is insane?? the passion behind this animation and all the little details.
DUDDDEE YOUR SO CREATIVE I ADORE THIS SM
im so obssesed with this artstyle and the fluid movement of your animations, keep posting love to see more!
Gods what a beautiful student film
i've been a huge fan of your animations for years now, and it's so cool and inspiring to see how far you've come! i love this piece
YOUR SHORT FILM IS GONNA BE SO GOOD AHHHH I CANT WAIT (i was right :p)
Ik these vids don't get as many views as your vids with Ash n Z, but they're honestly some of my favourites out of the vids you make. Thx Xac!
WAKE UP HONEY XRAYALPHACHARLIE IS PREMIERING RAHHHHHH
BRO I GENUINELY THOUGHT SMTH HAPPENED TO YOU I WAS WORRRIEEEDDDD IM SO GLAD YOU POSTED AGAIN!!! I LOVE UR ANIMATIONS!!!
Ok, now I'm scared of plastic rings in my cereal
I TRULY JUST FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS( and the ring changes based on your mood is the best little twist)
good thing she didn't overreact

This is incredible Xierra!!!! I'm so proud of how far you've come and honoured to have been able to watch this and share your joy in having completed it :DDD
The best 1 minute and 25 seconds of my life (this is so wholesome, it's so short yet so jam-packed and the animation is so smooth arghh-)
THE GOAAAAAT!!! You’re literally my favorite animator of all time hands down :)
I cant believe how much your channel has grown, its insane. The first video i saw from you was the intro of your OCs. Then you collabed with one of my favourite bands Good Kid. Your animations seem to get better and better and I cannot wait to see more. Keep up the good work
this is actually so incredible. The animation where the character falls back down is just so awesome. Incredible job you're truly an inspiration!
She posted!!! ✨ I must not have notifications on… I love your work so much Charlie!!! Animation is so HARD!!!
