I remember this point in my childhood. I'm 37. I spent the last 4 years re-learning how to fly. It's like riding a bike... but then everyone is throwing rocks at you as you ride down the road. Grab a helmet, dust off the wings and fly higher than they can throw.
I only half to walk AS a son of David then fly home off shore " earth " to rael land out there bigger then the universe. The silver charger the white horse, The Lord of Lords mount 🎺🦄⚡ saying, time to go is at 50 year's jubilee, soon back with my kind that i miss so much. Peace to you that can receive.
You missed the part I loved the most- “ what is the bravest thing you ever asked?”, and the horse replies “Help.” That part literally shook me to the core.

" the fox never really speaks " " no.....and it's lovely he's with us...." this line hit me so hard. i was a very introverted child and hated being around people, i still do but my family would still everything they could to include me in things that they knew i would be comfortable with even if i didn't say much or anything at all.
It resides in me because my son is nonverbal ❤ he’s only 3 but I think the book would be lovely for him to discover new meanings behind it as he grows up
It should be required watching for highschools and elementary schools, every kind of support group and group session. This is so good which is why it won BAFTA awards and theres something really nurturing and safe about this.
I tried in my class, it’s hard for elementary school kids to truly understand the feelings, as i am sure even us adults often struggle with understanding them. It’s even harder for us to try and ‘explain’ it to them. But together we figured it out, through talking. It really got to them. They loved it. ☺️
I've seen people make fun of the movie and call it trash because it's just quotes but to me this movie is a lesson for everyone to help them through harsh and terrible times. To think back to when you were a child and how we all had to grow up. I find it sad how many people are making fun of the movie.
This is for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, those who say such things are not YET in there chapter of there life to understand this message that brings to humanity. IN a way, these individuals are scared to confront the truth that they need to confront within themselves. For now, all who understand maintain your road of life and enjoy and love yourself for great moments lye ahead of us , God bless you 🙏
To some it may 'just' be quotes, but they are absolutely wonderful, heartfelt quotes. Hopefully one day those who mock this short movie will try it again and it will help them heal.
@@nigelbevan8449 the story was published in Oktober 2019, first pandemic beginn (in China) was November/December 2019. So this story was written and even published before COVID-19 was even known.
The horse oftentimes gives me fatherly vibes. He's patient, protective, gentle and understanding. The fox has something of a teenager, trying to be independent but being insecure at times, like he is still figuring himself out. And the mole has a thing for cake.
I love that fox.. feels like he suffered too much in his life.. he need a long tight hug and say I'm here for you.. you can come to me anytime.. you are not alone..
This movie broke me, and put me back together, a little bit better than I was before. I'm not quite there yet, but I'm healing. And we all need kindness. To quote a line from the book that didn't make it into the movie (at least not from what I remember): we often wait for kindness... but being kind to yourself can start now.
It just broke me. No putting back together. The ending is so tragic. No one to take care of any of them. The friendship as home is just a lovely fictional illusion that will fade as they starve together. I just cried and cried.
@@carlaeskelsen the movie is more metaphor than anything. I highly recommend getting the book, it’s not an actual story as they did for the movie, it’s just a collection of wisdoms and heart warming affirmations. They are looking for things they thought they needed. But they found them along the way in each other. You can interpret it however you like: kids being desperate to have a normal loving family (while their own is anything but), only to discover the joy of found family. Adults who try to achieve socially acceptable success, only to find that having people they love in their lives is all the success they ever needed. People feeling like they are not enough and never will be, looking back and realising how much their lives meant to others, friends, family, even pets. It’s about a journey to find home. But home is never a place. It’s connections, with others, but also with yourself. It’s love. And if you want to take the plot of the movie literally (which is also valid), they made it this far without starving or freezing to death. The fox knows how to hunt. The horse can protect them. The mole can forage. The boy could make shelters, or climb trees to see the lay of the land. They could survive and be happy.
Me and every member of my family received the book from my grandfather, a gift he left to each of us when he died each with a personalized note in the cover, I don't read the book enough, always makes me cry, but for all the right reasons.
A really underrated line form the film is when the horse says "When the big things seem out of control, focus on what you'll love right under your nose, the storm will pass." That line hit me hard, especially when everything is happening so fast in senior year. Things can be out of control, but focusing on what you love, snd who you love will pass the time and we'll be out of that storm in no time.
The boy asks "what is the hardest thing to say ?" "Help. Asking for help is the hardest thing to say." That section was telling us it is okay to seek help. We're told we are adults and should know how to do everything. So we fear asking for help.
I love the fox so much. I empathize with him. Especially with the not thinking I have anything interesting to say. And the clips from the movie make me cry every time.
Haven't watched the whole video through yet, but I wanted to leave a comment and a like to help the TH-cam algorithm bring this movie, and your earnest reaction to more people. As a 29 year old man, this movie touched me deeply and I'm so glad to see it impact others in a similar way. Thank you for taking the time to react to this and I will certainly be subscribing!
I have the book. Bought more to give as gifts. Tried to find the movie for purchase or to even find online, only to find it in snippets and not in its entirety 😢
What is the bravest thing you ever said? Help. I was out of words and massively tearing up. A reaction this strong is a clear indicator that something buried deep in yourself has been touched.
The part where the fox speaks about his mind when the horse explains that his presence itself is enough for the group hit close to my heart. The way it is potrayed is beautiful and the essence of it reaches the viewers.❤
Aren't you just precious, you have a demeanor that is calm and beautiful and to narrate your interaction with this animated film has been an honor to watch. The world is lucky to have you in it as an example of a kind and compassionate human being. Thank you very much
I am 33 years old, I have dealt with self image issues all my life. I fight truma and fear of being rejected. Some days are better than other. This video I just watched braught me to tears. It effortlessly broke every wall I had and gently laid on my heart. I love this, I love this so much
I gave my nephew the original book this is based off. Written and illustrated by Mr.Charlie Mackesy. My sister and I definitely loved this book and wished we had it as children. But that's the best part of life, you can always learn and still grow if you want to. like the mole said "the greatest freedom we have is how we choose to react to things." I heard that the first time I saw a Clip of the movie and it really stuck with me! I'm so glad to see your reaction to this marvelous movie!
Admittedly, within the context of the story, the revelation that the horse is in fact a Pegasus comes out of nowhere. "The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse" is a emotional roller-coaster of a film. It's visceral visual storytelling; raw and powerful, and I love it for that. I'm glad Justin Martin reacted to the life lesson "Being honest is always interesting." Reminds me of what I value most about myself.
From what ive seen, sometimes horses are great therapists. There is something about them for a lot of us that draw us in, and they are in tune with your emotions and facial impressions. They are more observant than lots of people think, and so you have to be real and patient with them, let yourself feel things. Because the horse would get confused if you are angry, but you are pretending by smiling. Horses have a way of calming you down, i think, to stop and smell the flowers and just be with them, because fear and anger makes them reactive. I get they are big animals that could kick and bite you, but they appreciate direct actions to tell them "no" when they want to be pushy - and make them back off, and show a little more respect and give you space. Horses dont really appreciate touches unless they trust you, and you go for their favourite spots to be scratched. You have to be honest with yourself, and the horses, to get along well. Then they would be your best friends.
I used to work at a boarding stable as a trainer. I specialized in the problem horses. It's amazing how many "problems" are just caused by people not giving clear direction. "My horse charges out of the stall and through gates, almost trampling me!" Because you're unsure. You're hesitant because you're leading a large animal through a narrow space and you've taught him to make the decision of how to get through it for himself. Now you're both out of step. He needs you to be a leader and tell him directly what you need. Not half-facing him, jerking his halter, go-no stop, why are you stopping? So he just rushes through the gate to avoid the whole dance. Within a few hours or a few days, most of the time gate rushers would walk through the gate peacefully and calmly with me. Most problems in the saddle start on the ground. I never even grew up with horses. I didn't have the privilege. But I always felt connected to them, even as a toddler. I understand them. They understand me. I never feel less alone than when in the company of horses. I feel more like one of them than people. I still struggle to make friends and connections and communicate with people. I moved away and can't afford to have horses. I miss them.
This movie made me cry. I resonate with this. I’m seeking a home in a world where I feel so lost and small. Being alone is so hard. Still figuring out what is any to do with my life…I’m not sure if the path I’m going is really mine…a lot of mental fights with this one. This movie is wonderful ❤️
I ran across this story, accidentally on a shorts video. I cried, and every time I see it, it touches my heart. I went and looked it up the book which is fine but more people should see the video of it. It’s the best. I agree that this is a must see for all!!
Ngl as a new father I cried and instantly thought of the fox and the hound and how that shaped me growing up in the 90's... my son is being raised on the old school values i was raised on. Some of us a still fighting to keep the spirit of of forefathers alive.
oh! the times i had to dim my light so i could pass unnoticed...i bought this book for my niece,she was three at the time ,her first book,and ive read for her (doing all the voices 😂) but deep down i know was the one who needed the most❤
Just watched it today with my mother and This whole thing made me cried and it made me realize something’s.Im so glad to have found this cause it is so heartwarming to watch and heal someone
10:36 I think I might know why that is… it’s because kids see the parents or someone they know upset and think: did I do something to cause that? Was that my fault? Was the I the cause of it? It’s learned because well- kids are young. They want to be happy, play, and make sure others are happy too
Thank you so much for reacting to this movie and spreading such healthy and positive messages! Wanted to leave a comment to help push the algorithm to spread your video to others who may need it more than I. Once again, thank you!
I saw a clip yesterday and it made me cry. I ordered the book from thriftbooks and now I found your channel. Subscribed. Beautiful reaction to a beautiful movie.
First, I Love This!! Found you and this clip in IG and came to youtube for the full video. I feel like people underestimate kids by saying they are too young to understand these deep thoughts, feelings, emotions... More truthfully, I believe, is that we have forgotten how because of what the world tells us "growing up" should look like. We lose, or give up, our innocence, our imagination and in some cases the ability, or the desire, to feel these real and deep emotions. Idk... just my morning mind, sharing my opinion. Love you all
Thank you for sharing the entire short. I had seen most of it, and shared it, one segment at a time. This is a book for all classrooms, all ages!! AND them, openly shared on feelings it brings up. Bring back humanity. 🙏🏼 ❤
I'm so glad to see someone reacting to this beautiful movie! It made me cry when I first experienced it, it's just such a comforting film and really hit my heart 😭💙
This made me cry. Gonna use this movie as the timer for my breaks at work when I’m having a rough day. One thing jumped out at me when I initially watched this. The boy says they are “we’re trying to find *a* home” not “I’m trying to find *my* home” at first I thought he was just trying to find another person to give him directions or a ride home. But the way he said he wanted to be kind when he grows up, describes what he would CONSIDER a home instead of what his home is like and is so quick to blame himself for falling off the horse and profusely apologizes for crying afterword and doesn’t want to leave when they find the house tells me he might be a runaway just trying to find somewhere safer than where he was before.
I have listened to the audiobook for several years when I can’t fall asleep. I am not sure I have ever heard the ending. The author’s voice is amazingly soothing.
I haven't seen the whole movie yet as I don't have Apple TV, but I really appreciated your take on it and showing parts from the movie. This movie is so calming! And beautiful, and profound, and did I mention calming? Tears were shed but a beautiful message.
Well this movie reaction it broke down many walls inside me. I'm someone on the autism spectrum more specific aspergers syndrome. I often felt like the fox really just keeping my thoughts to myself and I often feel like I've got nothing interesting to say.
My teacher show me this movie or the short version of it. And it helpt so mush to understand a lot of things what is going on in my head and how I feel.
I've had a lot of bad luck, stress bereavement too, this last week. And your voice has me nodding off, its so relaxing. I need to download this onto an MP3 but so often there's issues now doing that. thank you x Snooze .....
Thank you for sharing this. I’ve always been wrecked by the messages in the book; also in the best of ways. Thanks for your authenticity. It was your comment about being wrecked in the best of ways, that really made me rethink some of my inner negative messages. It’s time to go back to listening to what’s really being conveyed in those negative thoughts. Long haul CPTSD and no family history. Lifelong work in progress. Movies, music, my horses and my husband have been my helpers in this journey of finding my voice and discovering balance and love in life. Also, I’m decades old. Which means I am no longer able to access therapy. Medicaid and complex trauma seems to be a terrifying combination for therapists. In my opinion therapists never get appropriately compensated by insurance companies. I’ve been watching therapists reacting to music videos. I had no idea there was any one doing movies, let alone one of my favorites. It was lovely to have a 20 min session with you and this movie. You remind me a bit of my now retired therapist. He was an empathetic gentle soul. This movie is just packed with great little reminders about the importance of connections and looking forward in life. It is such a powerful and grounding piece of work. The animation is gorgeous and accurate. The voice actors were perfect. All the kindness and loving messages that we needed to receive, but were never told packed into one lovely “kids” story. Except it’s not just for kids, is it? ☺️ It’s also wonderful to remind us all that our emotions are valid, and tears are your strength. We are not alone. Even if it’s a connection with a beloved pet. Remember always to be kind, understanding, supportive and loving with yourself; so many great take away with this one. Thanks again. I will definitely be subscribing. ☮️💛
There are very good reasons why this film won BAFTA awards and an Oscar. There are very good reasons why the book helped so many through the pandemic. I have bought and given away at least 10 books to people I felt would respond to the wisdom. Thank you for this. I have seen the film only once. It was wonderful to see these clips again.,
I subscribed to your channel, thanks for commenting as a therapist, I really liked the short film and it simply melts you with the simplicity but depth of the characters, their voices are tender. Did you comment on the Wolfwalkers movie?
My daughter, a psychologist by profession, gave me this wonderful book - I always think 'what a priceless gift' - and with growing age, I come to appreciate and love it more and more...🙏♥️🙏💥👌
The sadist thing is getting yelled at for what is wrong or mistake. With no understanding of how to make it right. To have support to understand what should be or to make it right is a joy, there is always room for improvement with a wrong or mistake.
""I can fly but I stopped because it made the other horses jealous"".

10:36 I think I might know why that is… it’s because kids see the parents or someone they know upset and think: did I do something to cause that? Was that my fault? Was the I the cause of it? It’s learned because well- kids are young. They want to be happy, play, and make sure others are happy too
Your voice is calming and makes me want to sleep since it’s so relaxing
Thank you so much for reacting to this movie and spreading such healthy and positive messages! Wanted to leave a comment to help push the algorithm to spread your video to others who may need it more than I. Once again, thank you!
Thank you! I just started this channel so more to come! I'm glad you liked it!
I love this movie and book. I continually watch it and reread the book over and over. It councels me
its very therapeutic!
Ordered mine today ❤
I saw a clip yesterday and it made me cry. I ordered the book from thriftbooks and now I found your channel. Subscribed. Beautiful reaction to a beautiful movie.
Thank you! Glad you liked it and thanks for subscribing!
😢😂🎉
this movie makes me curl up and cry. i love it sm its my literal comfort movie
The one movie to make me cry the most and so easily too. Thank you for reacting to this, i can have find access to the full movie so this helps a lot
This is so wonderful and poetic. It reminds me of The little prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
A great choice for a book to give to kids.
That is exactly what I thought too. It has the same feeling as The Little Prince
My granddaughter gave me this book for Christmas . I just love it . Thanks for sharing your views with us .
Reminds me of Pooh & Christopher Robin.
Yes. I Immediately thought of that, too
It has a similar vibe,yes. Innocence
I agree as well, they take the time to discuss the feelings 😢
So glad I found this on Instagram. Thank you for caring. 💜
Beautiful story about being there for each other and becoming friends
First, I Love This!! Found you and this clip in IG and came to youtube for the full video.
I feel like people underestimate kids by saying they are too young to understand these deep thoughts, feelings, emotions... More truthfully, I believe, is that we have forgotten how because of what the world tells us "growing up" should look like. We lose, or give up, our innocence, our imagination and in some cases the ability, or the desire, to feel these real and deep emotions. Idk... just my morning mind, sharing my opinion. Love you all
Thank you for sharing the entire short. I had seen most of it, and shared it, one segment at a time. This is a book for all classrooms, all ages!! AND them, openly shared on feelings it brings up.
Bring back humanity. 🙏🏼

I'm so glad to see someone reacting to this beautiful movie! It made me cry when I first experienced it, it's just such a comforting film and really hit my heart 😭💙
I would love to be able to talk with you in person, but I am an ocean away. You seem so gentle and kind. You must be a wonderful therapist.
This made me cry. Gonna use this movie as the timer for my breaks at work when I’m having a rough day.
One thing jumped out at me when I initially watched this. The boy says they are “we’re trying to find *a* home” not “I’m trying to find *my* home” at first I thought he was just trying to find another person to give him directions or a ride home. But the way he said he wanted to be kind when he grows up, describes what he would CONSIDER a home instead of what his home is like and is so quick to blame himself for falling off the horse and profusely apologizes for crying afterword and doesn’t want to leave when they find the house tells me he might be a runaway just trying to find somewhere safer than where he was before.
I have listened to the audiobook for several years when I can’t fall asleep. I am not sure I have ever heard the ending. The author’s voice is amazingly soothing.
I’m a 36 year old man who boohoo cried at this short film. It’s beautiful and so validating for me.
Please can we mention Charlie Mackesey, the artist and writer of this beautiful work.
I haven't seen the whole movie yet as I don't have Apple TV, but I really appreciated your take on it and showing parts from the movie. This movie is so calming! And beautiful, and profound, and did I mention calming? Tears were shed but a beautiful message.
It's sweet . Their friends.
Kindness goes along way.
Thank you so much 🙏 for throwing light on this beautiful gem of a poetic composition - the subtleties of the ‘Human’ !
"I think you believe in me, more than I do"
My god, that line hit like a freight train.
Well this movie reaction it broke down many walls inside me. I'm someone on the autism spectrum more specific aspergers syndrome. I often felt like the fox really just keeping my thoughts to myself and I often feel like I've got nothing interesting to say.
WOW do I feel the same.
I have Asperger's and ADHD.
My teacher show me this movie or the short version of it. And it helpt so mush to understand a lot of things what is going on in my head and how I feel.
I've had a lot of bad luck, stress bereavement too, this last week. And your voice has me nodding off, its so relaxing. I need to download this onto an MP3 but so often there's issues now doing that. thank you x Snooze .....
A simple and easily understood video. Oh but....its so P*O*W*E*R*F*U*L!!!!! Loved it...God was in it in every part!!!!!
❤
This movie is so beautiful, blessings to all 🙏 ✌️ ❤️
This little animated film was shown in the UK a couple of years ago and it melted my heart back then and it still does; along with the tear's
So beautiful 🙏I love the quotes, xx ❤️ thank you 🙏 blessings to everyone 🙏
im falling inlove with this film
Glad you like it!
Thank you for sharing this. I’ve always been wrecked by the messages in the book; also in the best of ways. Thanks for your authenticity. It was your comment about being wrecked in the best of ways, that really made me rethink some of my inner negative messages. It’s time to go back to listening to what’s really being conveyed in those negative thoughts.
Long haul CPTSD and no family history. Lifelong work in progress. Movies, music, my horses and my husband have been my helpers in this journey of finding my voice and discovering balance and love in life.
Also, I’m decades old. Which means I am no longer able to access therapy. Medicaid and complex trauma seems to be a terrifying combination for therapists. In my opinion therapists never get appropriately compensated by insurance companies.
I’ve been watching therapists reacting to music videos. I had no idea there was any one doing movies, let alone one of my favorites. It was lovely to have a 20 min session with you and this movie. You remind me a bit of my now retired therapist. He was an empathetic gentle soul.
This movie is just packed with great little reminders about the importance of connections and looking forward in life. It is such a powerful and grounding piece of work. The animation is gorgeous and accurate. The voice actors were perfect.
All the kindness and loving messages that we needed to receive, but were never told packed into one lovely “kids” story. Except it’s not just for kids, is it? ☺️
It’s also wonderful to remind us all that our emotions are valid, and tears are your strength. We are not alone. Even if it’s a connection with a beloved pet. Remember always to be kind, understanding, supportive and loving with yourself; so many great take away with this one. Thanks again. I will definitely be subscribing. ☮️💛
There are very good reasons why this film won BAFTA awards and an Oscar. There are very good reasons why the book helped so many through the pandemic. I have bought and given away at least 10 books to people I felt would respond to the wisdom. Thank you for this. I have seen the film only once. It was wonderful to see these clips again.,
I'm 66 and only ran across these clips a couple of weeks ago, I absolutely love them😭💜😂🎯
I subscribed to your channel, thanks for commenting as a therapist, I really liked the short film and it simply melts you with the simplicity but depth of the characters, their voices are tender.
Did you comment on the Wolfwalkers movie?
I love it! Beautiful film ❤ yes we do need a lot more of this! ❤ We are all kids at heart!! So we can resonate with this....
My daughter, a psychologist by profession, gave me this wonderful book - I always think 'what a priceless gift' - and with growing age, I come to appreciate and love it more and more...🙏♥️🙏💥👌
Thank you for sharing and for being kind. 🌷
It is the absolute most wonderful thing I've seen in a long time.
Being honest is always interesting! That went deep🥹
I watch those clips anytime they popped up
Thanks for putting these together for us and giving input as a therapist and a human being amen .we need more of these clips .😊
Bought the book and audiobook for my teen and we love it ❤
Thank you! Just wanted to leave a comment ❤️ Gonna watch the rest of this video when I'm back from work 🥹
Anybody else wiping away their tears?
I've seen many shorts but...is there no..."full version?"
❤ This is for You,
mr. Therapist! 😊
The sadist thing is getting yelled at for what is wrong or mistake.
With no understanding of how to make it right.
To have support to understand what should be or to make it right is a joy, there is always room for improvement with a wrong or mistake.
Great review for a wonderful movie!
Thank you for this review 🙏🪻
What a beautiful way to learn a lesson!
Thank you so much for reacting!!
I need this type of friends. 😢
“I think everyone feels a bit lost sometimes, I know I do” like wowwww 😢😢😢😢 that line hit hard

The horse,the mole ,the fox and the boy are a being by his own.
The soft artwork!
I like the mole, he is such a pleasant character and likes the cake too, Just love it.
This movie made me see who I am , the thing my therapist tried to show me many sessions. I lost myself during my marriage to narcissist.
