DANCE WITH THE SEASHELLS! - Animation Short Film 2023 - GOBELINS

I love the strange absurdity with the whole concert hall disappearing. Both of them immediately agreeing that “it couldn’t have gone far”, printing “lost concert hall” posters, and then when it’s inexplicably out in the ocean, everyone is there like nothing even happened. And then the whole trip over the ocean to get there.

I love how silly and vibrant this one was. The colors remind me of a cutscene you would see in a charming little indie game, I love it! I also like how she doesn't sing for the audience but they fully encourage her to do what she wants.

i feel like this is the kind of art style you'd normally see only in illustration form, so seeing it animated is really cool and i love the colors. the song is also banger

Just to conclude, these two reeally, really deserve an animated series on their own.

when the concert audience encouraged her, i just about cried actually 🥹

Énorme, bravo l'équipe !

I love Mehdi so much, his shrimp(?) costume, his tube socks and flip flops, his goofy attitude, we all need a Mehdi in our life. This animation is so goofy, giving up your career to sing about dogs, I love it. Beautifully done, I love the dynamic between Erika and Mehdi, really fun, feels like they're really friends, especially how Mehdi persists on hearing the song. And as of course, it looks wonderful as well. Sometimes these short films are really deep, but this fresh little goofy one is so fun, I love it!!!

Maybe I’m looking too deep into it, but I LOVE how the music hall reappears when she finds her joy & love for singing again 🥹 & the fact it immediately disappeared when she lost her notebook, or the one thing that contained all her true love for music/singing. This is a really sweet message for all artists who sometimes lose their love or fulfillment in their passions. Creating & expressing yourself for YOU, & finding people who love your true authenticity! 💖 All love & applause to everyone in this project 🥰

no romance... just homeboys goofing off and singing about dogs... beautiful

Its so sweet how the audience just said goodbye to her and wished her all the best so she could sing what she wants

Okay but can we appreciate how supportive her fans were when she decided she wanted to leave ❤

Trop content d’avoir doublé Medhi, merci à toute l’équipe ! Big love 🫶🏼🦐

This is exactly how I picture Kero Kero Bonito's universe, it was so sweet, congrats

4:31 Mehdi dancing with the bipedal dog after they found the concert hall makes me so happy I can't stop replaying it and smiling. Can't forget about all the dogs becoming bipedal and bowing with him at 4:12 either. He just makes me so happy. I love love love how illogical and absurd all of this is. Everything is treated like a casual everday occurrence. Adventure is always. The almost childlike wonder. It feels like Ghibli 💕

I loved this one so much. Mehdi is just so positive and optimistic and ridiculous. And his freestyle during the credits was actually so good! He and Erika are such a great duo. I couldn't help but smile!

This made me think of how even when you want to make a living out of your passion, you still care about money oriented goals (career, social fame, peers expectations..) but actually the only authentic art that you can produce is supposed to be genuine, not self-serving. I'm glad that Erika chooses to leave the concert room in the end.

Understanding French makes this 100000000000x better AND YES I AM FLEXING

Congratulations to the brilliant team of young artists! This short film is an absolute blast with its beat, rhythm, and a kaleidoscope of colors that dance throughout the story. The characters are a burst of creativity and sheer loveliness. The attention to detail on the props is amazing! Well done!

3:43 Mon petit chien Mon ami Ma chance Mon trèfle à quatre feuilles Mon phare dans la nuit Sans toi je ne vois plus que la pluie Tes petites pattes Sur le sable Ton empreinte disparaît dans les vagues

i can say people had a lot of fun making this and it was truly heartfelt, wonderful job ppl!!!!
