    This short shows more moral, feelings and emotion in this 12 minutes than other current films in their entirety.
  • It felt a bit like watching what foster families do. They care for and raise the child, teach them everything they need to know... Only to be left with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow when the child finds their family. They may never meet again, but they have forever left a mark on the heart of the other.

    Замечательный мультфильм. ДЕЛАЙ ДОБРО и ничего в замен не проси. Больше бы таких мультфильмов показывали детям, может тогда и Мир бы стал добрее...

    Pretty much how all dads feel when they get a little one.... Beautiful environments, good animation and nice characters... Story has an immersive tone and tempo. Good job, guys. Good job.

    8:52 How is no one talking about how when the fox sees how the bird is struggling, he lets go? The selfless act of sacrificing his own life to save the bird's life is incredible

    На эту тему был чудесный советский мульт про волка и теленка.
  • I really enjoyed this animation, loved how the fox was rewarded in the end for his efforts of raising the small bird.
  • @andreafox7267
    A simple but beautiful story with an uplifting message. I loved how the fox was willing to give up his life for the bird who was determined to save him and then got saved by mum or dad bird. The animation and music was superb. Bravo.

    Шедевр! Мультфильм необыкновенный! Один из тех, которые смотришь, и не хочешь, чтобы он заканчивался!
  • Мой любимый мультфильм за последние два года! Периодически просматриваю, когда уж совсем невмоготу от сегодняшних реалий! Спасибо создателям!
  • I got all sorts of sensations while watching this short film.....especially from 8:53 😢..... I heartily appreciate the team for this marvellous piece of art

    When fox decided to die rather than drag bird with him....it was soo touching and emotional ♥️❤️
  • I absolutely love it. Family is not just those that look, act, think, or feel like you. Its the little things that make a family, a friend, and in due time, a life changing and heartwarming memory. Though thier paths were not meant to cross and will likely not cross again, thier fates shall forever be intertwined with the teachings and turbulence they've endured with each other. They are family, the bird just has to find himself first before coming back.

    I lost both my grandmothers. My most recent one in 2023. This definitely brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for sharing this… ❤❤❤

    What I like about this is that it shows you don't have to choose between identity and love. The fox and bird are what they are, but they're also still family and they love each other. I mean, even a bystander recognized that hence why the other bird saved the fox.
  • It's really neat that everyone of all languages can understand this. The language of the body and music is universal!
