Okay. I legit teared up watching this. The atmosphere, the silent storytelling, the ENDING. The design of the monsters, frightening and ugly. But when you stop for a second, you realize they look... pitiable. Anger, grief, sorrow, pain. These are all UGLY emotions. It hurts to touch, like all the spikes poking from them. They feel twisted and loathsome inside you. They're scary to have. But they are human emotions, and the most empathetic of them. The demons tearing apart the house, and the boy's reminders of his father, only to put them back together in a new, beautiful shape... there must be an easier way to explain it, but like, broken things can still be beautiful. Or beautiful things can still be made from broke things. I don't know. But this was SO BEAUTIFUL!
DirgeOfCerberus111* The story shows a lil boy that lost his father... Maybe in a war.. Due to the Teddy Bear in the beginning wearing a 'Soldier Hat... The Boy is only stuck of memories of his father.. His father had an unfinished project (Fairest Wheel).. The boy cant seem to finish completing what his father and him worked on.. He battles his emotional demons... Sad, Sorrow, Anger, Depression, Regrets, Giving up... But his own demons help him battle it out... They allowed him to see the light in it all.. The end with the finished project... 😞 Completion and Closure 🙏
Beutiful things being made from broken things is what makes me think of true harmony, hope and great meang. Make give this world a purpose. This relaxation made me... cry
The complexity of this short film is absolutely insane. The amount of effort they put in to craft such a masterpiece is incommensurable. They really showcased the grief, anxiety, depression, and fears of the kid within all the monsters. The lesson as play is that to overcome ones fears they must first accept them. Marvelous. The kid was scared of the monsters, but to get past them, he must work with them.
SPOILER Summary: The kid's father promised they would finish building the Ferris Wheel(La Noria) when he returned form the war. His father died in the war and never returned, and the little kid was left to grieve his father's death, with the ferris wheel constantly reminding him of the broken promise. The Fish-like monster with the hole in its chest may be a representation of the hole in the boy's heart left by his father's death, or how the father might've died.
Omg it all makes sense now I mean I understood it but it's like when you understand but at the same time is like whaaa and end up crying ounce you're told the meaning like I am right now😑😭😭😭
that would mean, monsters are our most close friends in time of loneliness. We could listen to them and be one with them. To finish being whole again !
I lost my father a few months ago… lost him too early.. the way grief is depicted as this monstrous thing but at the end it’s the thing that shows you what a beautiful life you had together is just poetic and perfect. Thank you for making this
What I expected: _A creepy horror animation with jumpscares and fear factor_ What I got: _An emotional and beautifully made silent story about mending a broken heart due to the loss of a father_ I am not disappointed. *Worth it!*
I loved how the monsters represented all of the kid's fears and anxieties, but once he learned to let go of the grief of his dad's death, the disappeared and turned into the wonder and newfound happiness in his life props to everyone who made this
I don't know whether this movie is about letting go of the grief. 🤔 Grief itself is not bad, but when you allow it to overwhelm your thoughts and feelings, it becomes a monster. I still grief of my own dad's death (21 years ago), but I learned to live with it and remember him with a smile on my face. I think it is not about to stop griefing, but at the end, grief lost control over this brave young man. I hope I was able to explain my thoughts accurate... not a native speaker 🙂
This was amazing. The monsters themselves being represented as grief and fear after a loved one dies. We try to ignore and run away from our feelings. But the intensity of these emotions is meant to show how much we loved them. How beautiful the memories that we made with them are. Even though our time with them may have ended, the time we did have was beautiful.
The short Film beautifully captures what grief is like. At first the loss of someone eats you up with anger and sadness and all of the emotions that rip you apart, but then you get over over the loss of this loved one and instead you start celebrating their life and all the happy memories that came with them. This is when you finally come to terms with their death, yes the pain, the monsters are still there, but you have come to accept it and learn to look at the brighter side of things.
Beautifully put, and so true. This time of year contains so many happy memories of my parents...The pangs are still there even after so many years--but the joy of having them outweighs the grief of their loss...
This hit way harder than I expected. Just. Clenched teeth, tears streaming down my face, an ache deep in my chest and a bubble in my throat. And I’m not even sure why. It’s like this film just reached inside of me and unlocked a space in my heart I didn’t know was there
Accepting grief is really the only way to ever move forward. But especially with a story like this it iunbelievably hard. Not only because he is so young, but because of the uncertaint that you can have in situations like this. Sometimes soldiers are never found. But even if they are, sometimes there is no body to bury, That makes it so abstract, so unclear, so much harder to say goodbye and it prevents us from moving forward with our lifes.
The monsters wanted to help him because, of course, the monsters WERE him, manifestations of his pain, building a tool for coping with loss. He initially misunderstood them and mistook is grief for fear. He needed to literally face his own demons before he could move on and honor his father with good memories. This video has been posted for over 3 years. And I'm glad people (commenting) saw it for what it was, and I hope people suffering with loss can learn from the message.
That was beautiful! The monsters' heart being missing whilst the boy clutches his chest... WOW. Needless to say, it pulled onto my heart strings. Losing a parent is awful. You can tell this is a passion project.
"La Noria" = Water Wheel in most Spanish-speaking places it also means Ferris Wheel. Carlos Baena is from Spain where it must mean Ferris Wheel. If he was from somewhere else the short would be called "La Rueda de la Fortuna", "Rueda Moscovita" etc.
When you click on it because you're expecting a scary movie, but find yourself crying at the end because it's just too damn real and hits so close to home . . .
@@vanceunpingco7767 Actually asking? If so, then its a simple answer. It hits close to home because people die, like parents and friends and family... And at first the pain makes us angry or scared.. Sometimes depressed. But then the pain becomes faded and the happy memories left bring us joy. Being able to remember the good times makes all the sadness and hurt go away. It hits close to home because we all know the feeling of losing someone but still being happy to think of them. Edit: "actually asking?" wasn't meant to sound rude! I just didn't know if they were actually asking or if it was rhetorical!
A revelation of how our tragic past can turn into something magical. The film shows how the monsters (hunting past) chase about the child in every room of the house where he and his father had memories, at first it had a vibe of thrill and horror because this is how we feel when we keep on running away from our unresolved hurts. Finally, come to a point where we can no longer contain it then we just burst out, hence the scream, and surrender to accept what had happened, from there we can create an exceptional and magical work of art that is where the monsters or our past ceases to hunt us.
At first I was like ''ARGHH! RUN RUN RUN!'' and ''KILL IT!!!! KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!!'' But then at the end, I was like ''Awwww you guys are so sweet'' then ''Aww don't go yet...'' Great work ^^
This Film combines all your fears of your childhood. Creepy Monsters, Long hallways, Darkness, Monsters under your bed, and the fear of beeing alone. Plus, i think the message is that sometimes we need to face our fears. Really great job!
Fr bro when i was a kid i always wanted someone to be around me and know when i am a grown ass man i am trying to find alone time cause people are annoying asf
god I love how sneakily the ending is set up - the monsters were never trying to catch him, they just wanted the materials and to get the boy to that upstairs room
The monsters were a projection of his pain, so when he expressed his emotions and repressed pain that he had felt had been chasing him, the beings purely projected of his pain and emotion then became truly represented as not menacing, but subjects of extreme sensitivity and pain created from years of trauma and betrayal. Our thoughts and can be our worst Monsters, but simultaneously our most empathetic companions: expressing our emotion is the key to confronting those repressed thoughts and pain; and resolving the effects of our trauma by looking them in the eye ; the effect here seen, the trauma had began to grow seeds of thought, personified as these creatures; that were reflections of their environments, and echo of that trauma. Heartless environment, heartless product. You must however shed light on the darkness to cease its spread.
The Demogorgon yeah, I think the hoard represented the increasing repression of his general pain and grief, until he’d given so much energy into that pain that they all manifested as real monsters. Him running from those monsters, running from that pain, but you can’t grow without confronting that pain; it’s the stepping stone to reaching enlightenment.
I went into this expecting a horror piece, and I left in tears. Holy cow, what a beautiful work of art. The visuals, the sound design, the story. Fantastic.
OK Everybody: this is a short movie about *the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War and reconciliation*. The teddy bear wears a "gorrillo miliciano" the cap of the Republican Militia. The kid's father is seen in the photos as a Republican Militiaman himself in the photos in the box where there is a postcard saying he will help the son finish the wheel when he comes back. All the toys and settings are pre WWII. The photo frame with the disappearing photos (and top left out of the frame we see the kids's father again with the Republican cap) is a metaphor of how Franco's regime blotted out the history of the Republican side and its people. The black monsters that have taken over the house (Spain) are the Franchist (also called" los negros", the black like the Fascists). They look forlorn and are attracted by bright lights of an happier pre war Spain. Also they lament having no heart as a Civil war tears a nation apart. The monster though try to reconstruct the wheel and they have preserved all the things in their own way. They realize that a whole Spain needs everybody so they repair the (significantly red) centerpiece and only when the kid (the post war generations) spins the wheel it starts to work again in harmony.
@@thalamus_eater • I think due to the fact that the boy realized that he had nothing to be afraid of and his father would always be there, because of this, the "monsters" / "fears" disappeared, but this is not for sure-
"Lots of people say they’re afraid of the dark because they have no idea what could be hiding within, 'fear of the unknown' as most people call it… but what happens when darkness is all you’ve known for so long? How could I possibly be afraid of the dark… when every light in my life has already been extinguished? I am not afraid to face what could be hiding in the shadows… but I am afraid to face the broken lights that no longer bring me warmth. I’ve ignored them for too long, my monsters, they’re terrifying at first glance… yet they could never hurt me, far from it, they only wish for me to stop hurting… but am I strong enough to do so? I’m not sure if I can continue like this… I feel so alone… I miss you so much… I wish you were still here… I promise that I’ll try." This is one of the most beautiful, thoughtful, relatable, emotional short films I have ever seen, I can’t believe TH-cam didn’t bring me to it when it first came out last year, that’s just insulting, but at last, better late than never. This deserves far more views and likes than it’s gotten, and above all else, it deserves no interruptions during a first watch, something like this should be watched in silence, that is if you’re looking to get invested, which personally, I believe is very worth it.
What turns someone into a monster is another monster. It is like a never ending circle, till someone shows a little understanding, a little light and finally stops it.
I went into this expecting a regular horror short, and ended up absolutely bawling my eyes out. This hit me really close to home, as I've lost a few very important people in my life, and seeing it portrayed so perfectly really makes me happy, but man I didn't realize I needed this until now. Thank you for this, it was beautiful, and I really needed it.
"If the pain wants to stay, then take the memories away." " But if you're strong enough to succeed, then even the most terrifying monsters have some light to bring."
My heart knew I needed to see this. When my Dad died, I feel into depression and gave into my demons. I felt that weight of loss so much that I lost myself for a while, trying to find myself in loveless relationships and at the bottom of too many bottles, trying to become numb from the pain I truly felt. It wasn't until I accepted the pain that I finally let myself heal. If I could ever describe what it was like, this would be close. The anger and fear and suffering from loss this kid felt, to the beautiful way it transformed when he finally had acceptance of that loss. Thanks for making this amazing video and sharing it with us all. I felt this in my soul.
I hope you have people in your life that you can trust to help you through your grief…and that in itself takes courage ❤. There is nothing harder than watching someone you care for in pain and the helplessness of having them so close…yet so far
I just cried. This was fantastic. The animation was pristine, the character design was incredible, the story was beautifully terrifying and sad, and the progression from scary to heartbreaking was absolutely seamless in execution. 10/10.
The only thing I didn't like is the way the monsters disappeared. I would have liked it best if they had just gone hiding in some corner of the room :/
Non lo vuoi sapere. I politely disagree. I think the fact that they disappeared added a much deeper layer to the already-heavy metaphor that he needed to face his demons in order to thrive and keep going.
Non lo vuoi sapere. And I totally understand where you’re coming from as well. It was pretty emotional to see them go. They truly helped him find his way and it was absolutely beautiful.
He WAS fighting his demons till he communicated his feelings, they understood him and in his head only they maked the wheel for him , but in reality he made it, which means that he finally accepted them.
Если бы это был хоррор, я бы чувствовала просто страх, а не такую палитру эмоций. Это не просто хоррор. Страх, а когда приходит понимание, щемящая душу тоска. Такая короткая, но такая сильная и метафоричная анимация, спасибо.
Color me crazy, but I think: the kid died and this is his version of limbo. Someone said that the father fought in a war and said they would assemble the ferris wheel when he got back: but the pictogram clearly shows them completing the ferris wheel (although the flashing pictures could be what he wanted to happen, and his father died before it did, but I'm just assuming not). So throughout the whole thing, the kid is pale and sickly; then he sees an emptiness in one of the monsters, which I assume is some form of cancer, hell the monsters themselves could be a metaphor for the cancer: killing him, yes but not out of malice or how terrifying they look, just because. Think the kid died and was unwilling to move on until he "finished" the ferris wheel, one that he couldn't fully assemble because it was broken from the start, so the monsters helped him come to a conclusion and he moved on. Probably a million miles off, but videos like this are so nice in the way you can't interpret a bunch of different meanings.
What if he didn't die of cancer but is a jewish kid from the second ww. While a striped pyjama doesn't necissary mean anything...maybe he died while his father was away...hiding or else... Someone said in the comments that a place called jeruel is mentioned, which after googling, is a desert from the bible between egypt and jerusalem...
I assumed the large monster he walked up to represent his emptiness and sadness considering the whole was in the area of the heart and the kid grabs his heart as a response and at the end when he looks back at the monsters disappearing it's like hes being set free of those emotions.
@@Fallen7768 Exactly what I was thinking. The monsters were his pain, anger, sadness, loneliness, emptiness, etc... And the display of his precious memories they made at the end was the boy finally being able to move past the hurt, hence the "monsters" vanishing. As for the pale/sickly appearance @Regular Dude, heck, even adults dealing with depression and loss have trouble keeping tidy and maintaining basic self care, so how could we expect a child to do better? Just my two cents.
Maby Beccase of his sadness that is what the monsters represent but the farisweal is a interpretation of the kids joy and a feeling that his father didn’t die but finished the Farsiweal with his son and was then exicuted for disertion for leaving the army to see his son who became ill and died and now is living in a limbo with his own self proclaimed emotions agin this is a longshot
Nope I didn't know until you say it . I thought I was frince, but then they stared to talk at the end ,and it was spanish. Thanks to you I learned something today . Hope you have a good day ,or a good night depending where you live this crazy place we call earth ( home ) ☺
@imma_dipshit _and_then Are you sure you understand English? You sound like a student in special Ed. Although that might be an insult to special Ed students. Also your name is hilariously pointing out the fact that you're a dipshit if you didn't realize. Doesn't really work on others since everyone else is just replying to you. Guess you're just too fucking stupid to realize that though.
This hit like no other. The metaphor of hiding from your demons, you cant run from greif, anxiety depression or any mental emotion. Sometimes facing them you start to learn and live. Simply beautiful.
RainyRikiya - IF People were going to be honest, they would more than likely say, that they did a good job with their short film. However, Disney has amazing productions, and animations, and do a Great job. That is why He has made the name for himself he has, and now the company 😃
Edit: Holy shit that's a lot of likes I'm guessing the monsters represented his anxiety and fear. Possibly from never being able to see his dad again? When the monsters let him walk on by, that was a representation of him facing his fear and the outcome was something beautiful God damn it Alter Why ya gotta hit our soft spots
a t l a n t i c A l i e n as it is something we all dread it’s coming increasingly more often. Children are being raised by one, or none parents and it absolutely destroys them to what society sees as “quiet kids” were just people that have nothing to say.
I remember watching this animation back when I was little. And I remember crying at the ending shot of the boy sitting down at the Farris wheel. Coming back to visit this animation years later makes me appreciate how beautifully done this animation truly was.
@@557deadpool why would that make it worse? sometimes i find that when im in an extremely low mood that won't shake, if i lose myself in the digital world for a while, i come back up emotionally refreshed. the mood still lingers a bit, but it is not as heavy and i feel prepared to take life by the horns again and trudge on
I hope your being serious about being depressed, it’s not something to just say you have, it’s serious and if you do suffer from depression please contact help.
This movie hit home for me. It just made me ugly cry. My dad died when I was six. I didnt know him. But the memories I have make me feel like i knew him for a lifetime. I just love everything about this movie. The animation. Another person said it was better than Pixar. It sure is. Your interpretation of grief was on point governer❤Thank you thank you so much for this short.
I’m practically drooling over how gorgeous this animation is Edit: ok I know it’s silly to thank people for likes but this is probably the most likes I’ve ever gotten on a comment so thanks y’all :’)
At the Start: Doesent look bad. I love the character design and the animation. I bet its good! In the middle: I NEED a whole movie of this! NO! A GAME!!! At the end: * crying in ugly* It doesen't need anything. Its perfekt.
Oops sorry it’s actually not completely the same, but it’s the story of a young toddler living with his mother, and on his birthday some weird shit w his mum and dad happen and then he’s getting chased by this monster all around his house, but the house isn’t recognisable, he also has a teddy bear that talks to him. But the game is very deep and depressing and scary lmao
This was a very touching short, I felt like I wanted to console the little boy it was sad, then anxious for him, but then I worried about how he was going to handle his grief, by the end then I was proud of him. ANY film that can make you feel several emotions in one sitting is a true creation of art. Beautifully done & the animation was absolutely incredible! 💯 %!!!!
I just lost my father back in February of last year and this hit me so hard. I went in totally blind and by the end I had tears spilling down my face. This is truly a work of art.
The note says: Hello little one. I am heading to Teruel, i wanted to tell you that i love you very much, and that we will finish the ferris wheel when i return. Papa/dad
i like the little detail and metaphor they did when he was turning the tiny gear (the one that makes the ferris wheel move), at first he was turning it counter clockwise (going back) maybe to say that he wants to stay in the past or cant move on and that leads to the ferris wheel breaking, later on when he turns the gear clockwise (forward) it moves smoothly and the ferris wheel works, i think this another metaphor saying that he moved on and is his life might finally be ok. I myself dont know the full story but the small detail that they put into this animation was amazing, i took notice in that small feature really quickly (and though i might be COMPLETELY WRONG) i just thought it was really cool how they added that and made metaphor of it.
Ize Rblx LOL IK IT MIGHT BE RANDOM but even if it is i just like really tiny details like this- small details give a lot of meaning and i love that sm cus it shows how much creators put into their work
from what i am seeing, the kid's father used to love going on a Ferris wheel with him, and he started building a toy version for his son, but in war he passed away and now the kid is going through depression, and so one night he has a nightmare about monsters chasing him through his home, but then he learns to accept that his dad is gone and that is how he overcomes the shadows of the past, the monsters are all the sadness and depression he has, that is why they act so aggressive yet at the end they still help him let go of the pain, and help him realize he can now start a new life, i also noticed that the ferris wheel at the end was made of everything the monsters broke, so in reality the reason they where chasing him is because they wanted to lead him to the ferris wheel, that is why all those lights on the stairs lit up, they wanted him to go there, i also think the one with the hole in his chest was supposed to represent his dad because the pictures at the beginning show he died in war, so i think the hole in the monsters stomach was supposed to represent a wound from a weapon, in reality, the monsters are the hero's and they love him very much
I've lost my father 2 months ago, and this hits so hard... Edit: Thank you all for your words... believe or not it helps me a lot, Thanks people... :')
raxasar Be urself, stay strong, life’s gettin’ harder, even when you’re with your fam or alone! No one passes away, they’re just passing on the rainbow bridge!
I believe that the Ferris wheel represents the kid's life, and the black creatures represent mainly his pain. Because without his father his daily life cycle (that repeats itself in a spinning rotational form). The Ferris wheel becomes so heavy that it breaks down, and through out the years (in the stairs scene) his pain only gets stronger, which then it's to much to be locked away. I believe the main character had suffered since he was a child and is still a child mentally because he couldn't move on......except in the end
I don't think he really 'moved on' as he found a way to use his pain to create something beautiful. Every piece of that final wheel were created by the objects destroyed by the monsters, 'his pain' he probably lashed out not knowing how to channel his grief, earlier on the box had a picture of his father in uniform I'm -assuming- he died in a war. Honestly having dealt with grief myself this hit home a bit x.x by the end of it I was friggin bawling because it is one of those things you look at it and you're just like, "All you want is for the pain to mean something," and for a moment it looked like he finally saw a bit of the beauty past it. Sorry about harping on but yeah >.> It's a beautiful video and cathartic.
This short film has made me cry like a little boy. It is absolutely a masterpiece, because it highlights our fears, our anxieties, and anxieties. Thanks to the authors involved.

His father died in the war and never returned, and the little kid was left to grieve his father's death, with the ferris wheel constantly reminding him of the broken promise.

Exactly.
I agree
I don't know whether this movie is about letting go of the grief. 🤔 Grief itself is not bad, but when you allow it to overwhelm your thoughts and feelings, it becomes a monster. I still grief of my own dad's death (21 years ago), but I learned to live with it and remember him with a smile on my face. I think it is not about to stop griefing, but at the end, grief lost control over this brave young man.
I hope I was able to explain my thoughts accurate... not a native speaker 🙂
@@philippriedel9888 Great replay me tu ap ka fan ban gya
@@philippriedel9888 i agree with you, i believe the main point of the story is learn to deal with your lost and remember the happy memories instead
This was amazing. The monsters themselves being represented as grief and fear after a loved one dies. We try to ignore and run away from our feelings. But the intensity of these emotions is meant to show how much we loved them. How beautiful the memories that we made with them are. Even though our time with them may have ended, the time we did have was beautiful.
The short Film beautifully captures what grief is like. At first the loss of someone eats you up with anger and sadness and all of the emotions that rip you apart, but then you get over over the loss of this loved one and instead you start celebrating their life and all the happy memories that came with them. This is when you finally come to terms with their death, yes the pain, the monsters are still there, but you have come to accept it and learn to look at the brighter side of things.
i agree. my grandpa died last year and we all took it super hard. but then we remebered all the memories we made with him and we felt happy.
Wow! This interpretation totally makes sense. Thank you!
Beautifully put, and so true.
This time of year contains so many happy memories of my parents...The pangs are still there even after so many years--but the joy of having them outweighs the grief of their loss...
Beautiful - 3 years ago my dad died. Still grieving and today is his birthday. Beautiful film. Thank you.

This hit way harder than I expected. Just. Clenched teeth, tears streaming down my face, an ache deep in my chest and a bubble in my throat. And I’m not even sure why.

Those seem to be manifestations of his pain. He didn't let himself grieve and it ate away at him until he found peace with what happened.
YEAH!
You are completely right
When you are so depressed even your inner demons try to help.
No.

@@God-bz1jr yes.
Sometimes outside help isnt enough. You gotta look deep inside yourself, passed the demons, and help yourself to get better.
VIiIiIiIiIiIiIiBEEE CHEeeCK!
Accepting grief is really the only way to ever move forward. But especially with a story like this it iunbelievably hard. Not only because he is so young, but because of the uncertaint that you can have in situations like this. Sometimes soldiers are never found. But even if they are, sometimes there is no body to bury, That makes it so abstract, so unclear, so much harder to say goodbye and it prevents us from moving forward with our lifes.
At first, I was terrified but at the end, I realized that these monsters wanted to help him make something as a way to remember his father.
The monsters wanted to help him because, of course, the monsters WERE him, manifestations of his pain, building a tool for coping with loss. He initially misunderstood them and mistook is grief for fear. He needed to literally face his own demons before he could move on and honor his father with good memories.
This video has been posted for over 3 years. And I'm glad people (commenting) saw it for what it was, and I hope people suffering with loss can learn from the message.
Can someone just gives this poor kid a hug already?
how u know, u r a monster!
He wil get a hug from thise demons
They tried
He needs thearpy hugs
But how tho, when he's a 3D character in a screen. No hard feelings.

When you click on it because you're expecting a scary movie, but find yourself crying at the end because it's just too damn real and hits so close to home . . .
Omg yes. This is making me teary eyed like I might cry this was just so cool and emotional..
Yeah, and that's great, as I think.
How does this hit close to home? Not trying to troll or be mean but just asking.
@@vanceunpingco7767
Actually asking? If so, then its a simple answer.
It hits close to home because people die, like parents and friends and family... And at first the pain makes us angry or scared.. Sometimes depressed. But then the pain becomes faded and the happy memories left bring us joy. Being able to remember the good times makes all the sadness and hurt go away. It hits close to home because we all know the feeling of losing someone but still being happy to think of them.
Edit: "actually asking?" wasn't meant to sound rude! I just didn't know if they were actually asking or if it was rhetorical!
JericoTheKiller thanks for the explanation.
A revelation of how our tragic past can turn into something magical. The film shows how the monsters (hunting past) chase about the child in every room of the house where he and his father had memories, at first it had a vibe of thrill and horror because this is how we feel when we keep on running away from our unresolved hurts. Finally, come to a point where we can no longer contain it then we just burst out, hence the scream, and surrender to accept what had happened, from there we can create an exceptional and magical work of art that is where the monsters or our past ceases to hunt us.
This turned out to be a lot more wholesome than I thought
Who else liked the monsters in the end and didn’t want them to disappear
i wantred him to hug them or something
At first I was like ''ARGHH! RUN RUN RUN!'' and ''KILL IT!!!! KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!!''
But then at the end, I was like ''Awwww you guys are so sweet'' then ''Aww don't go yet...''

@@DineshKumar-kw3fo I have no regrets at all.
oh shit was my reaction to this comment, makes alot more sense!
It's the monsters crying after for me. Out of heartbreak, out of finally finding an expression to their pain. Of beautiful happiness.
The monsters were a projection of his pain, so when he expressed his emotions and repressed pain that he had felt had been chasing him, the beings purely projected of his pain and emotion then became truly represented as not menacing, but subjects of extreme sensitivity and pain created from years of trauma and betrayal. Our thoughts and can be our worst Monsters, but simultaneously our most empathetic companions: expressing our emotion is the key to confronting those repressed thoughts and pain; and resolving the effects of our trauma by looking them in the eye ; the effect here seen, the trauma had began to grow seeds of thought, personified as these creatures; that were reflections of their environments, and echo of that trauma. Heartless environment, heartless product. You must however shed light on the darkness to cease its spread.
Okay but which monster represents which pain? Thats my biggest question
The Demogorgon all of them, they had a hive like mind, because they we are born of the hive of one consciousness
@@brandonmcclain9988 o oki, I thought the one with a hole through it was grief or sorrow or somethin
The Demogorgon yeah, I think the hoard represented the increasing repression of his general pain and grief, until he’d given so much energy into that pain that they all manifested as real monsters. Him running from those monsters, running from that pain, but you can’t grow without confronting that pain; it’s the stepping stone to reaching enlightenment.
@@brandonmcclain9988 thats a big wisdom
I'll admit I cried, especially at the monster with the heart torn out
I know you can just see the pain not just in the little boy but the monsters faces as well.
I really felt that kind of pain tho
okay i thought this was gonna be an average "monster-under-the-bed" type story, and now im just fuckin sad.
brilliant job guys.
* me literally sobbing in the background *
I went into this expecting a horror piece, and I left in tears. Holy cow, what a beautiful work of art. The visuals, the sound design, the story. Fantastic.
OK Everybody: this is a short movie about *the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War and reconciliation*.
The teddy bear wears a "gorrillo miliciano" the cap of the Republican Militia. The kid's father is seen in the photos as a Republican Militiaman himself in the photos in the box where there is a postcard saying he will help the son finish the wheel when he comes back. All the toys and settings are pre WWII.
The photo frame with the disappearing photos (and top left out of the frame we see the kids's father again with the Republican cap) is a metaphor of how Franco's regime blotted out the history of the Republican side and its people. The black monsters that have taken over the house (Spain) are the Franchist (also called" los negros", the black like the Fascists). They look forlorn and are attracted by bright lights of an happier pre war Spain. Also they lament having no heart as a Civil war tears a nation apart. The monster though try to reconstruct the wheel and they have preserved all the things in their own way. They realize that a whole Spain needs everybody so they repair the (significantly red) centerpiece and only when the kid (the post war generations) spins the wheel it starts to work again in harmony.
Underrated comment
• Wow-
• Thank you!
I don't quite get it but really?? this film is pretty deep
Do you know why the monsters got sad or something and disappeared at the end
@@thalamus_eater
• I think due to the fact that the boy realized that he had nothing to be afraid of and his father would always be there, because of this, the "monsters" / "fears" disappeared, but this is not for sure-
"Lots of people say they’re afraid of the dark because they have no idea what could be hiding within, 'fear of the unknown' as most people call it… but what happens when darkness is all you’ve known for so long? How could I possibly be afraid of the dark… when every light in my life has already been extinguished? I am not afraid to face what could be hiding in the shadows… but I am afraid to face the broken lights that no longer bring me warmth. I’ve ignored them for too long, my monsters, they’re terrifying at first glance… yet they could never hurt me, far from it, they only wish for me to stop hurting… but am I strong enough to do so? I’m not sure if I can continue like this… I feel so alone… I miss you so much… I wish you were still here… I promise that I’ll try."
This is one of the most beautiful, thoughtful, relatable, emotional short films I have ever seen, I can’t believe TH-cam didn’t bring me to it when it first came out last year, that’s just insulting, but at last, better late than never. This deserves far more views and likes than it’s gotten, and above all else, it deserves no interruptions during a first watch, something like this should be watched in silence, that is if you’re looking to get invested, which personally, I believe is very worth it.
I hope you are doing well. Definitely agree. Peace and love from the US.
This truly speaks to me, and it hurts.

Horror film is supposed to be terrifying, but wtf is this!? This is the only horror film that bring me tears! Beautiful! 😭
Could we stop for a moment and appreciate the animation? The details, the textures, also the message... it's wonderful, a really good job there
Lead demon: Okay guys maybe we should approach more quietly and ominously from the shadows rather than chasing him down. We made the kid cry.
No, those are his demons. Therefore the missing heart, it was his.
When you realize that even monsters cry...they just need someone to understand them, even a little bit.
What turns someone into a monster is another monster. It is like a never ending circle, till someone shows a little understanding, a little light and finally stops it.
True fact
I do understand them! They must be destroyed! NO MONSTERS, NO TEARS!! PURITY THROUGH RAGE!! D:
Monsters doesn't exist, they are only like the devil himself, they're victims of those "✌️good ✌️" people.
The monsters represent him. They represent his emotions.
I went into this expecting a regular horror short, and ended up absolutely bawling my eyes out. This hit me really close to home, as I've lost a few very important people in my life, and seeing it portrayed so perfectly really makes me happy, but man I didn't realize I needed this until now. Thank you for this, it was beautiful, and I really needed it.

My heart knew I needed to see this. When my Dad died, I feel into depression and gave into my demons. I felt that weight of loss so much that I lost myself for a while, trying to find myself in loveless relationships and at the bottom of too many bottles, trying to become numb from the pain I truly felt. It wasn't until I accepted the pain that I finally let myself heal. If I could ever describe what it was like, this would be close. The anger and fear and suffering from loss this kid felt, to the beautiful way it transformed when he finally had acceptance of that loss. Thanks for making this amazing video and sharing it with us all. I felt this in my soul.
I hope you have people in your life that you can trust to help you through your grief…and that in itself takes courage ❤. There is nothing harder than watching someone you care for in pain and the helplessness of having them so close…yet so far

The only thing I didn't like is the way the monsters disappeared. I would have liked it best if they had just gone hiding in some corner of the room :/
Non lo vuoi sapere. I politely disagree. I think the fact that they disappeared added a much deeper layer to the already-heavy metaphor that he needed to face his demons in order to thrive and keep going.
@@jadesmediacorner Well, our tastes are just different. In any case that's a good point of view, I didn't think about it in that way
Non lo vuoi sapere. And I totally understand where you’re coming from as well. It was pretty emotional to see them go. They truly helped him find his way and it was absolutely beautiful.
Monsters: hes already fighting his own demons.
He WAS fighting his demons till he communicated his feelings, they understood him and in his head only they maked the wheel for him , but in reality he made it, which means that he finally accepted them.

Если бы это был хоррор, я бы чувствовала просто страх, а не такую палитру эмоций. Это не просто хоррор. Страх, а когда приходит понимание, щемящая душу тоска. Такая короткая, но такая сильная и метафоричная анимация, спасибо.
Color me crazy, but I think: the kid died and this is his version of limbo. Someone said that the father fought in a war and said they would assemble the ferris wheel when he got back: but the pictogram clearly shows them completing the ferris wheel (although the flashing pictures could be what he wanted to happen, and his father died before it did, but I'm just assuming not). So throughout the whole thing, the kid is pale and sickly; then he sees an emptiness in one of the monsters, which I assume is some form of cancer, hell the monsters themselves could be a metaphor for the cancer: killing him, yes but not out of malice or how terrifying they look, just because. Think the kid died and was unwilling to move on until he "finished" the ferris wheel, one that he couldn't fully assemble because it was broken from the start, so the monsters helped him come to a conclusion and he moved on.
Probably a million miles off, but videos like this are so nice in the way you can't interpret a bunch of different meanings.
My cousin just died from cancer 5 years ago, I grew up with her. Never ever cried this much a long time ago. You wrote the truth my friend...
What if he didn't die of cancer but is a jewish kid from the second ww. While a striped pyjama doesn't necissary mean anything...maybe he died while his father was away...hiding or else...
Someone said in the comments that a place called jeruel is mentioned, which after googling, is a desert from the bible between egypt and jerusalem...
I assumed the large monster he walked up to represent his emptiness and sadness considering the whole was in the area of the heart and the kid grabs his heart as a response and at the end when he looks back at the monsters disappearing it's like hes being set free of those emotions.
@@Fallen7768 Exactly what I was thinking. The monsters were his pain, anger, sadness, loneliness, emptiness, etc... And the display of his precious memories they made at the end was the boy finally being able to move past the hurt, hence the "monsters" vanishing. As for the pale/sickly appearance @Regular Dude, heck, even adults dealing with depression and loss have trouble keeping tidy and maintaining basic self care, so how could we expect a child to do better? Just my two cents.
Maby Beccase of his sadness that is what the monsters represent but the farisweal is a interpretation of the kids joy and a feeling that his father didn’t die but finished the Farsiweal with his son and was then exicuted for disertion for leaving the army to see his son who became ill and died and now is living in a limbo with his own self proclaimed emotions agin this is a longshot

Teruel. Is a city of Spain. This film happening during or after the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939).
@@JuandeMariana1994 Probably after but is a reference to the Battle of Teruel which was the bloodiest battle of the Spanish civil war.

Which software did they use for this amazing short film?
@@raincrystaltear5416 Same ;c
i like the little detail and metaphor they did when he was turning the tiny gear (the one that makes the ferris wheel move), at first he was turning it counter clockwise (going back) maybe to say that he wants to stay in the past or cant move on and that leads to the ferris wheel breaking, later on when he turns the gear clockwise (forward) it moves smoothly and the ferris wheel works, i think this another metaphor saying that he moved on and is his life might finally be ok.
I myself dont know the full story but the small detail that they put into this animation was amazing, i took notice in that small feature really quickly (and though i might be COMPLETELY WRONG) i just thought it was really cool how they added that and made metaphor of it.
great observation! i didn't notice , it makes a lot of sense
That might actually be totally random and the animators didn’t even realize, but if it isn’t then that would be quite amazing!
Ize Rblx LOL IK IT MIGHT BE RANDOM but even if it is i just like really tiny details like this- small details give a lot of meaning and i love that sm cus it shows how much creators put into their work
from what i am seeing, the kid's father used to love going on a Ferris wheel with him, and he started building a toy version for his son, but in war he passed away and now the kid is going through depression, and so one night he has a nightmare about monsters chasing him through his home, but then he learns to accept that his dad is gone and that is how he overcomes the shadows of the past, the monsters are all the sadness and depression he has, that is why they act so aggressive yet at the end they still help him let go of the pain, and help him realize he can now start a new life, i also noticed that the ferris wheel at the end was made of everything the monsters broke, so in reality the reason they where chasing him is because they wanted to lead him to the ferris wheel, that is why all those lights on the stairs lit up, they wanted him to go there, i also think the one with the hole in his chest was supposed to represent his dad because the pictures at the beginning show he died in war, so i think the hole in the monsters stomach was supposed to represent a wound from a weapon, in reality, the monsters are the hero's and they love him very much
I've lost my father 2 months ago, and this hits so hard...
Edit: Thank you all for your words... believe or not it helps me a lot, Thanks people... :')
raxasar I’m sorry for your loss
just as a stranger on the internet, cheers to your father
I'm sorry about it... 💚
I'm so sorry for your lost
raxasar Be urself, stay strong, life’s gettin’ harder, even when you’re with your fam or alone! No one passes away, they’re just passing on the rainbow bridge!
I'm so sorry for your loss. Stay strong
My take: The kid doesn’t realize that by running away from all his fears and anxieties, new fears and anxieties begin to emerge before him.
that is so true
Im sure if we all saw giant fish monsters we would run lol
@@toxicraptor8413 Or that lmao
What happens if you run from that too?
@@lol-ot4pn That's up for you to decide :) Use your immigration!
I believe that the Ferris wheel represents the kid's life, and the black creatures represent mainly his pain. Because without his father his daily life cycle (that repeats itself in a spinning rotational form). The Ferris wheel becomes so heavy that it breaks down, and through out the years (in the stairs scene) his pain only gets stronger, which then it's to much to be locked away. I believe the main character had suffered since he was a child and is still a child mentally because he couldn't move on......except in the end
I don't think he really 'moved on' as he found a way to use his pain to create something beautiful. Every piece of that final wheel were created by the objects destroyed by the monsters, 'his pain' he probably lashed out not knowing how to channel his grief, earlier on the box had a picture of his father in uniform I'm -assuming- he died in a war.
Honestly having dealt with grief myself this hit home a bit x.x by the end of it I was friggin bawling because it is one of those things you look at it and you're just like, "All you want is for the pain to mean something," and for a moment it looked like he finally saw a bit of the beauty past it.
Sorry about harping on but yeah >.> It's a beautiful video and cathartic.
Chingue su madre
Was i supposed to understand something?
That's the kids memories
It's a water wheel, not in concept but that's what noria means, they're the water wheels that sustain themselves as they pick up water causing motion.
This short film has made me cry like a little boy. It is absolutely a masterpiece, because it highlights our fears, our anxieties, and anxieties. Thanks to the authors involved.
Monsters be like: *”Lol, this kid can’t even finish his Ferris wheel, lemme show them how to do it.”*
When he shouts at them they felt him and stopped this wierd and zombie walks and steps
XD
Monsters then proceeded to make the kid s#it himself
