Beautiful! I must admit, up until the end, I thought this was gonna end with a reveal that the yellow twin was a stillborn, and that blue's been trying to cope with that all her life by imagining that having a sibling would've been annoying, until one day she can't keep that facade up anymore and is forced to confront the pain of all the good things that also never were. Very glad it had a happier ending than my dramatic ass thought it would. ^^"
I feel so bad for the child blue, she seemed genuinely irritated by her brother 'yellow' but only when it was far too late did she remember all the good times they've had together. The symbolic scissors cutting the 'cord' was perfect for conveying her infinitely too late attempt at apologizing. It's alot like life that way, I only saw my relationship improve with my brother significantly once he moved away from my family to live on his own and do college and a job in I.T. and stuff. So I sadly can relate to this video a whole darn lot.
I will admit I didn't get along with him until he got his own life and no longer has any real time for me. I feel like such a heel watching this video. The feels man.
The animation, color palette, and sound design are all phenomenal. I can't express how much I enjoyed watching this. I got chills when the umbilical cord was cut.
@@ecdragonlady8006 Nope, the sound gave, posture and movement gave it away. Yellow didn't pick up while Blue is anxiously waiting and the phone is making that noise when you call someone and they haven't picked up.
@@smiel__ a very neat observation! I actually made it deliberately very vague as to if he answered or not. Originally I was planning to record a phone call between me and my brother but I was worried it would not sound candid enough so I went with the ever so vague dial tone instead. 😀
As a twin who is about to move away from her sis, this hits close to home :,) Beautiful animation though! It was an incredibly sweet little story, and you really did a good job communicating how they felt without adding dialogue! Great work!
I watch this animation so often now that my older sister went to college. It just hits so close to home. In the part where the brother was loudly chewing on his food, his sister's gut annoyed, so he moved closer and made me laugh out loud. I remember when I was young, I sat next to my sister on a bench, but when she noticed she got up and moved to the other side of the room. We just love annoying each other and this short film just captured siblinghood so perfectly.
as a twin, this def hit hard,,, like as much as we've argued in our lives, I don't know what I'd do without my brother. It a different kind of bond that you never really notice until they're gone
I particularly love that in their room there is a plug on the same wall that houses the lamp- but purposefully the cord is pulled forward in order to separate the two halves of the room. This shows not only something siblings definitely would do, but also shows their separation throughout life in how they feel emotionally. I love the small details.
So much fun *interviewing Lindsay* about her wonderful film! We discussed the following: -- Writing with Specificity -- Her Approach to Comedic Timing -- Ending Sequence - Symbolism of Umbilical Cords -- Her Brother's Reaction to the Film Lindsay shares lots of interesting details & insights (including story ideas & images that were ultimately cut) so please see the *link in description* to learn more about the film. -- Mark Founder Hommage
wow, this is so beautiful! the scene where blue was desperately trying to get to the end of the umbilical cord to reunite with yellow was so brilliantly executed... i love this
AHHH im in love. reminds me of my brother and i :,) serves as a reminder for me that no matter how annoying siblings are theyre still a big part of ur life and nothing can compare to the bond you share
I actually cried because this hit me hard, my relationship and my situation with my brother are almost similar to this, it really does feel like you're cutting ties with your siblings
This video encapsulates perfectly what it's like to have siblings. As a kid you remember the teasing. But what sticks are the small things. An M&M golfball. Magic the gathering. Old CDs. Though incredibly specific to me, it is important to remember these small things are a sign that they cared about you and loved you. Whether they directly said it or not.
Dude, why you gotta hurt me in this way? As an identical twin who recently had to process the pains of sibling separation, this was rough. But it was very relatable to some of the things that I felt.
Great animation!!! This just reminded me of that first night my twin sister moved out to college (my college started later than hers). Goodness it's a weird transition, loved seeing this
I love how you were able to create something so simple but so beautiful at the same time. Rarely is there a film that touches me on all levels like this.
The few seconds where they were laughing together make me cry. It was specific memories of laughing with my brother when we were children that flooded into my brain.
Being with people you lived your whole life with, only to suddenly not one day. . .is hard. It's scary and new to just not see them anymore when you wake up, when you eat breakfast, or when you just call to them from the other room. But I guess that's just life sometimes.
I love it! This reminds me of my twin brother and I!!! Just to prove how much twins argue and fight, tho they still love each other and wouldn’t want to leave each other.
Crying my lungs out, between me and my little sister we have almost 11 years apart, she is my little sun, eventually i had to move out of the country earlier this year to live for me. And this, that was a kick in the guts, 10/10 hyper crying and i hope she will never have that nightmare, and this bond will forever last.
This is how complex a sibling relationship is, you can fight each other always, and keep getting "annoyed" of each other, but when one of them gets away, you start to realize how much you miss and care about them, I love everything about this
This film just puts a sense of familiarity I've played Take a Melody Simple as can be Give it some words and Sweet harmony Raise your voices, All day long now, Love grows strong now Sing a melody of love Oh, love
FIVE STARS. THE BEST ANIMATION I HAVE EVER SEEN. Pixar has some competition.... I love the sounds and all the art and stuff! The way you drew the characters is AMAZING!! I almost cried, and I rarely cry! :D
As someone who has siblings their age and used to be close but arent anymore WOW THIS STINGS. Its amazing and incredable and I love it but its also really close to home, in all the right ways. I love this so much because it really convays what being a sibling can be like
I found this video just when my brother moved countries. My parents had split up and my mum decided to take my brother, i posessed a very dark and sad mindset during those times... but i am doing better now, this video has a really strong story that many like me can relate to. Animation is great, this deserves an award :) 👍🏼
Thank you for letting me remember some fragments related to my brother, for me it is very important. And I want to say him that I love him very much and that he is the best brother in the world for me❤️
This animation is so amazing! I love all the cinematography and details in it, wow! Calarts is one of the schools I’m interested in going for the future for digital arts and this animation just makes me want to go more,, thank you for motivating me more! :D
Awesome choice! I loved my time there. My advice is definitely wait until COVID is less of a problem, because the school is mostly online right now and it's not quite the same as in person!
@@lindsayscanlan2681 Ah thank you!! I’m still a student in high school at the moment so I definitely hope that covid passes by the time I’m ready for college!
See now this is me I have a twin sister who I've shared my room with and play games, do homework etc next to her almost every day, and we share things we see and talk about our day and people, and sometimes she's really annoying or mad at me. When one or both of us moves out, I don't know how I'm gonna cope not having a person by my side all day every day, especially after doing everything together for my entire life. This damn film made me think!!!!! ew!!!!! (seriously though, it's amazing, and I can relate, well done!!!!!!)
I have a twin brother that is now in another country to study. I'm so proud of him, but I miss him so much in my life, it seems incomplete without him next to me
I feel the same about my sister. We are not that far, just 5 hours. But some days I think about quitting my job and moving on with her. And we have plans to live in different countries. I think I won't be able to live without her.
Most people don’t know this, but American society intentionally includes a lot of relocating. It breaks familiar bonds and makes people (I forget the details) less likely to form cliques (I think).
My only brother is going off to the army, so this really hits home for me.
My brother is currently being really annoying and isn’t helping my headache with all his yelling
@@pixelcat29 true that
God bless hope he does great
The same happened for me years ago. When my brother left for the army
I hope he gets back home safe
*Love* the choice not to use music until a crucial moment. It really sells the tone. Also love the use of different art styles!
Plot twist: the other twin just moved to another room
Lol!
I thought that too
Lol
Omg I didn’t put my phone on landscape and that was the first comment and i didn’t know he was gunna move that time 😭
Same thought
Beautiful!

Very glad it had a happier ending than my dramatic ass thought it would. ^^"
Oh man that would have made for a very different film for sure!
That's dark. But I like it.
I swear that's what I thought was going to happen and literally is nervous hoping that it isn't like that
Your creativity is very dark but beautiful
@@seandoesnpcshit Aw, thank you!

Me and my twin have been together for YEARS. Even now we're roomates in college. It's going to kill me when she leaves. Amazing animation!
DOES HE PICK UP THOOOOOO 😭
Yuh
I think he did considering the way Blue moved about when she was on the phone
@@ecdragonlady8006 Nope, the sound gave, posture and movement gave it away. Yellow didn't pick up while Blue is anxiously waiting and the phone is making that noise when you call someone and they haven't picked up.

i almosted cryied when the cord was cut..
AHHH im in love. reminds me of my brother and i :,) serves as a reminder for me that no matter how annoying siblings are theyre still a big part of ur life and nothing can compare to the bond you share
Can't relate 💀 they ok at most
I really love the composition/camera work and the way emotions are shown with just a pair of eyes through most of the animation
I actually cried because this hit me hard, my relationship and my situation with my brother are almost similar to this, it really does feel like you're cutting ties with your siblings

I was an only child growing up. But this reminds me so much of my kids. I hope they have as great of a bond when they get older.
Great animation!!! This just reminded me of that first night my twin sister moved out to college (my college started later than hers). Goodness it's a weird transition, loved seeing this
I really love this film- it's so effective in its design and the music just adds so much. Also the goofy animation is so fun and fluid.
This made me cry. Such a beautiful story and lesson ❤️
1:44 I just knew the fight the was so legendary was about to begin
I am a twin about to go off to college. This made me cry like a baby. I'm gonna miss my brother more than ill ever admit out loud
this is so sweet!!! sibling bond is best bond! ❤️❤️
this is the most amazing thing i have ever seen :( i wish i found this earlier
1:32 and I felt this on a spiritual level
I love how you were able to create something so simple but so beautiful at the same time. Rarely is there a film that touches me on all levels like this.
Omg I have a brother and this literally made me cry. 😭 This is so good!!
this is amazing!! we really get a good understanding of their personalities despite having no words and only being 5 minutes long!!

This is how I feel with my brother. I wish I could see him and be there with him again but he’s so far away…
I don't have any brothers or sisters but this make very emotive 🥺❤️
1:35 I used to do this to my sister all the time XD, this is extremely relatable. Amazing short film!
I must learn to produce feels of this calibre :' )
Thank you for sharing this heartfelt work!
I love it! This reminds me of my twin brother and I!!! Just to prove how much twins argue and fight, tho they still love each other and wouldn’t want to leave each other.
This made me cry so hard. Last April I attempted.. my brother saved me
This is incredible and so heartfelt
I'm the oldest sibling so I'm gonna move out soon, I literally bursted into tears this is so beautiful:((
Its been a year-
Why am i still crying?
Im terrified for this day to come for my brother to move out
Crying my lungs out, between me and my little sister we have almost 11 years apart, she is my little sun, eventually i had to move out of the country earlier this year to live for me.
And this, that was a kick in the guts, 10/10 hyper crying and i hope she will never have that nightmare, and this bond will forever last.
even though my brother and i aren't twins........ i can totally relate to this esp the eating with bad manners part and the avoiding + bullying him
As a child with a sibling I can confirm how accurate the sibling interactions are, the goods and the annoyances, beautiful animation!
This is how complex a sibling relationship is, you can fight each other always, and keep getting "annoyed" of each other, but when one of them gets away, you start to realize how much you miss and care about them, I love everything about this
This is too underrated! This deserves more views
This film just puts a sense of familiarity I've played
Take a Melody
Simple as can be
Give it some words and
Sweet harmony
Raise your voices,
All day long now,
Love grows strong now
Sing a melody of love
Oh, love
EARTHBOUND RELATED THINGS HAUNT ME HELP /J - Duster (C.C)
Omg this is such a wonderful animation. The expressions , storyline character and all. I wonder how long it took
Thank you!
From start to finish, it took about a year.
@@lindsayscanlan2681 a lot of persistence and hard work!!
tbh when yellow left i nearly cried, I found this sad but kinda funny too
My big brother moved out not to long ago so this put me in my feels
Adorable!!! I love it!
This is such a masterpiece 😭 this kind of work is worth a kidney
Aw darn! I was hoping it would be a lung-tier film
@@lindsayscanlan2681 it’s more than that :)) hope you make it in Disney or Pixar one day ^^
@@paulaarduo4619 thanks! ❤
the siblings relationship is always a love-hate relationship. it's never just love.
Literally teared up watching this. Your art is beautiful keep up the amazing work!

I was not expecting all these feeeels!! Ty for this!!
Having a sibling myself this form's a perfect picture of it.
This hits close to home , my brother left the country for education i see him for 3 days once year
Thank you for letting me remember some fragments related to my brother, for me it is very important.
And I want to say him that I love him very much and that he is the best brother in the world for me❤️
A bond between siblings hits different ❤.
Why did this make me cry
I get how she feels
When I clicked on the video it enlarged to full screen and those first two seconds of darkness was just enough to made me think my phone died
that's pretty good i cryed when the cord got cut like OH NO
This one is just so beautiful. You captured the emotion so perfectly! Love your works so much!!

This was beautiful.
This is an amazing animated film: Cal Arts Animation Rocks!
I'm about to leave homesoon, and i thought this would just be a fun animation about sibling rivalry but now im crying
I have a twin brother that is now in another country to study. I'm so proud of him, but I miss him so much in my life, it seems incomplete without him next to me
Watching this four years later still makes me sad 🥲
Usually films dont make me too sad, but this
This is an awesome exception
I feel the same about my sister. We are not that far, just 5 hours. But some days I think about quitting my job and moving on with her. And we have plans to live in different countries. I think I won't be able to live without her.
Here from IG, beautiful film in its true form!
Its so sad when she was trying to call his bother it give me a sad feeling
I have a brother 13 months older and have been away from him for more than a few weeks. College is going to hit hard.
I love this animation.
I just wish that I would forgive & forget my younger brother
And now, you’re here, thank you 😌
Most people don’t know this, but American society intentionally includes a lot of relocating. It breaks familiar bonds and makes people (I forget the details) less likely to form cliques (I think).
It is not intentional.
What are you talking about?
So beautiful!
Me and my younger brother who I love to tease- and now he left for the army… and now I’m crying
That made me cry so hard ☠️
Hits home. I miss my brother
This... Is interesting. At first it has a very dreadful feeling, but then it gets super emotional.
this is hella underrated
Poor girl she now realize what it is like to have a sibling
Everything makes me sad. BUT THIS...
This should have million views
Как вы любите своего брата, это очень душевно!
this made me cry, cuz it's the same with my sibling
this situation is happening atm. when my sister left i was glad honestly, but i miss her. and ive had to lvie with knowing that
