Alight

People be praising Pixar's Elemental trailer like "What a unique concept, what a fresh idea!" Meanwhile, this masterpiece has been sitting here for 11 years! No way Pixar didn't take inspiration from this. I really hope Alight's animator ended up going places in the industry. Still is a tearjerker.

I miss the times when YouTube was filled with talented animators that makes these kinds of animations

The way you portrayed their elements through their actions/personalities… water was fluid and calm, slower and more careful. Fire was fast, sharp, energetic. Impulsive, “fiery” in temper (he got angry when his friend was hurt; strong and filled with passion. And they all came together in the form of one united being. The art is incredible (clean and satisfying), and the story, mixed with the music, ring up many emotions… thank you for this piece of work! But can I ask, what is the music? I love it

This is nostalgia. I remember watching this in elementary school and I was so inspired. And now I am studying art in college and this still looks amazing😭

i just love how Water's movements are smooth and liquidy, and Fire's movements are jerky and fast

Youtube 2020: Greetings viewer, I'm here again to recommend you the masterpiece which made you burst into tears when you were younger

The fact this still impresses and amazes me everytime, I remember being young and not getting this but still loving it so much. Happy 2022 everyone!

:,) it’s been ten years and this is still a masterpiece the music alone

When I was little, I didn’t understand or even try to understand what this could’ve meant. Yes I cried, but not because of any hidden messages. Now I wonder what it means. There are two hidden message I have concluded to. The first one is that opposites don’t always have to stay apart. As shown by what the fire and water did together, they created a new living form together. It could show what it means to work and coexist with each other. The second is much more elaborate. Basically, we shouldn’t ever stereotype people or even things, such as water and fire. Water, which is viewed as timid and graceful in this animation, can cause destruction, such as the sprite’s death ended up being the indirect cause of the towers toppling. Meanwhile the element of fire is often viewed as dangerous and deadly, but as seen here, it may destroy, but it also rebuilds and creates new life. Basically, not all good things are entirely good, but not all bad things are entirely bad either.

Manga: Fireboy and Watergirl Anime: ALIGHT Netflix adaptation: Sharkboy and Lavagirl

man Fire boy and Water girl was much more emotional then I remembered.

It does NOT feel like a whole 11 years since I first discovered this masterpiece my goodness, this still gives me feels watching it a decade later. You really put much emotion into this dialog-less film that is for sure and it still holds up well.

Just saw some girl claiming this as her sisters animation on tiktok. It made me mad cause I've loved this animation for many years.

I was a kid when i first watched this, i almost cried, i thought it was going to have a continuation, i cried when i realized that it wasn't going to have a sequel, now i cry of nostalgia

I remember seeing this as a kid so long ago. And 10 years later, I'm 22, looking back at this animation and listening to that music, it bring back good memores

it's been 12 years.... this will never stop amazing me.

has it really been this long... this was just a vivid memory to me

It's always the short films made by people from animation colleges that are the most emotional.

11 years down the line and it's still in my memories to revisit every now and then

This is too much of my childhood, The Guardian, The Explorer, and now this. This is how humans were made i am not questioning it.
