oh how lovely Mona is!! adorable came here after watching your amazing Amon animation and yeah now I do realise how you were so inspired. such a cute fur ball of joy
I always love watching your films and animations,, this was so charming and cute….TT the character designs were so cute and creative, the art, style, and animation was amazing, everything…. Especially when the song came on, wahahahah I couldn’t stop myself from smiling!! It was so cute!!! I’d listen to it consistently!!! I hope that I will be able to continue to watch what you create whatever it may be. The award was very much deserved!
The way I would pay to see this in a movie theater even if it was only 8 minutes long and I would still be just as satisfied as having seen a full-length movie, if not even more so? Unmatched. Have my like, you've earned it! I truly hope this reaches as many people as possible, it's simply delightful, and everyone deserves the level of joy a cute little story like this can bring.
I got this in my recommended and of course I had to watch it cuz not only did it look cute, but also cuz Amon is also my name! And I genuinely adore this animation! Unbelievably adorable
you're my inspiration! i love you're animation so much, you're style bringing the warmth soft childhood vibes to me. ! love the story so much and how amon is really fluffy that makes me wanna hug him so bad.... congratulation for the award!!! You're my favorite animator XD
i keep coming back to this film, and even though im sure this is obvious to most, i'd like to put my observations (and thoughts!!) about the story of this film here: so what amon's dream is at the very beginning is his own kingdom where he'll never die, and he has the freedom to do whatever he wants (like eating a hundred pies). there's even a whole song about it once he enters his kingdom, and this song includes the line "you'll never be alone" but that's weird, right? because he IS alone, and that loneliness (touched on later) is what motivates him to go back to his own world. i think maybe this line was intended as some kind of foreshadowing bc at the end there's another, shorter rendition of this song that's JUST that line ("you'll never be alone"). about amon's stuffed mouse toy: i think it's meant to represent his childish desires, and, at times, his past memories/childhood. in the beginning, he promises to find it a really good mousehole, which i think is a metaphor for not being able to let go of his true dream, which he realizes in the end. when he gets caught up in his daydream of being a powerful king, he loses the mouse toy. when he finds it, it reminds him of the people he cares about the most, and he abandons his dream to return to them. at the very end, he ends up leaving the mouse toy (his childhood/childish desires) behind, in the garden at his preschool. that's why i think that ultimately, amon is a film about growing up, maturing, and realizing your heart's true desires, which, in many cases, surpass desire for material things and power.
