CGI **Award-Winning** 3D Animated Short: "Pakan" by Team Pakan | TheCGBros 

A man who can face all obstacles with faith and courage, respects the guidance of his tribal elders, does not give in to temptation, and follows the path of light is a benefit and a blessing to the world and all who live in it.

He sacrificed himself so that others could get good life, one more thing I would like to say,that CG Bros always rocks

This is what I called : live a life after the sadness & darkest period of life.

A beautiful amazing film! I was so moved by the profound message of sacrifice, growth and rebirth; and what the elders give us if we only listen and accept. Thank you so much! Well done! Always look forward to another great films coming up. And as someone else mentioned in the comments I’m VERY surprised with all the viewings; there there’s only 30,000 likes.

From my perspective, always listen to your elder's advice and implement it in your life, you will find lots of hardships but the end result is always fruitful.

At the end of that desert storm, was it water that was meant to be his consolation or a deeper meaning to this? He gave it all for the life yet to come.

The importance of a tree is beautifully explained... There are so many people longing to see just one tree but on the other side there are people cutting down forests.

looks like the spiritual journey one goes through in a spiritual awakening process. He is in the desert a place where everything is nearly dead and later discoveries the source of life is in his own heart. the light emanating from his heart is the tree of life..... he didn't need to seek outside for life..it was within him all along. Instead of being just a man, he became the tree of life itself.

There can be various interpretations to this short film. It can be any journey one goes through, fighting fears and hardships, and at times a feeling to run away from it. But then, one must overcome these fears and hardships to attain peace, and well being for oneself and for others. That's how you attain a fresh life of hope and happiness.

When all hope for survival is lost but a brave man goes on a quest, magic will happen and human babies will grow on trees.

Moral of the story: Grow plants , Go Green And Save human being.

Ok, I'm floored. That was a twist at the very end i didn't see coming. Very well thought out and executed.

A person struggles entirely his life to grow his next generation.

The film depicts the difficult times and hardships a man has to go through, hold on to hope when one sees nothing ahead, have patience and belief. All these experiences make a man wise... And experienced... All that experience is nothing but a priceless gem man earns (golden thing). And only that wisdom becomes the seed of a next human generation. (Notice the same kind of dry bent tree when the man left for journey)

Nothing beats a good like that of Adam, and Eve. Life reborn.

It is said that everything finds it's rightful owner. Why would one old holy man give this mysterious box with specific instructions regarding opening it, to another holy man. Nothing worthwhile is achieved without struggling and sacrificing!

interesting, let me see if I can put it into perspective, a dying people sent out their strongest, he endured hardships, trials and fasting, though tempted he did not give up, in the end he was able to release the light, by dying and becoming part of the tree of life, and rebirth of his people

No matter how long it takes, it always moves me!

Its all about focus, survival, and adapting... The old tree(community) in the middle of the desert is already dying. He needs to survived to form a new one, with his journey always pointing to the 3 stars. This is applicable to whatever we do...

There will be times when someone will have to step forward and sacrifice so that others after him can live a better life. My interpretation: He had a quest that had to be accomplished although he didn't know what it was at the beginning, but fate has its mysterious ways. Throughout his journey, he sometimes felt the urge to give up and simply go back, but he faced his fears and moved to a new level in which no other thing could cast fear into his heart because he had already survived the worse. He finally reached his destination. It might look like he hadn't benefited anything, but he had certainly assured a prosperous life for generations to come.

Wonderful depiction of attainment of heights through struggle and turn possible which seems impossible to the world.

The story starts with a dead tree and comes to an end with a young tree with live in it's bud. The circle is closed...

Journey of soul from material world to eternity.very beutiful. God bless the animator.

I like how the image on the box is the tree next to the water with the three stars reflecting in it.

this is so beautiful....the desecendents must carry on.

"As a tree growing by deep waters, so is a virtuous man..."

It's the most beautiful! When you give all of you for save your people!

Wow. That’s deep. Tree of Life deep. Love it!!

At last Struggle and trouble full life gives u a beautiful bright life.❤️❤️❤️☺️☺️☺️

Дорога без конца Дорога без начала без конца... Это жизнь!

I think everyone was dead, except the two shamen. The Elder gave his Apprentice the "sacred box" that had been handed down through generations, only to be used in the Moment of Most Need. The Elder knew he was dying, he did not know what was in the box, & only Hoped the Apprentice would be strong enough to complete the Journey. The Apprentice knows only, that he is on the journey for his ppl, not what is in the box, nor when to open it......Love, Loyalty, Faith

Last scene was amazing.. A foetus on a fruit.. Story is wonderful ☘️

Mysteriousely beautifull.

Wow!...Just beautiful! That's the Ascension I want to experience when the time comes. Thank you for sharing.. ❤

There may be many interpretations, but there is no doubt that the graph is sensational ...

The old man in the beginning Representing the past and old his journey is finish and he is passing the torch of the new beginning to the new younger generation to find himself, explore his own journey and discover himself to the greater purpose of life.

IT'S THE SAME TREE !! 1:58 6:27

2.5 million views and only 32k likes? What is wrong with people........Beautiful work and amazing short film.

my first thought was that it is impossible to find the 6 stars only then he can open the box.. alas in the end he made it... it explains no matter how tough, if you have the courage and determination, in the end, there will be fruit to harvest...

Love the embryo in the fruit...beautifully made

He face a lot of circumstances but he don't Give up...

Speechless.... A very well made short film by both technical and script wise, a must watch! These type of shorts can have infinite meanings... that's one of its beauty...

That was a deeply moving film.

"By three they come. By three, thy way opens. By the blood of the willing, we call thee home. Hail, Daughter of Hatred. Creator of Sanctuary. Hail...Lilith.".

Just when you think you cant go on, you take another step and there you are. You're closer than you think. 💜

I love ❤️ the background score. And the Meaning of this Video. So nice.

A great synonym of the story of our life! To keep on keeping on!

I'm placing my bet it's a story from an obscure, ancient religious text!

Congrats Team, One of the best animated short film I have ever watched. Felt like watching a real Hollywood movie. 👍👍👊

This story can be looked at on various levels. However I feel there's perhaps a spiritual message here. One where that message is also about life. We all live it. This man had to continue his life's journey to overcome trials and tribulations along his life's path. In doing so, he was given an answer to life [maybe]. This answer is something innate in all of us at conception. And we do not even know there was an answer within all along. Like Thoth. Messenger if the Gods. He was also the keeper of knowledge. And it is said that he has hidden knowledge somewhere so even Marduk wouldn't know. I believe that place to be within man kind. This man is faced with a storm (trouble we face throughout life) as he carries with him that burden (what was in the satchel) that has grown heavy along this journey (us living life and never finding answers. Never searching within). The longer his journey grows (life), he also grows weary. His burden causes him to want to give up. ESPECIALLY when he faces that trial, which causes him fear. And then he is faced with a dilemma. Run from that fear or embrace it and not give up. Then he remembers his burden he carried. He realizes there's something...within. So it's at this moment he decides to seek it out. Once he does, it becomes him. A cycle of life that goes on and on like this. The great cycle of life. That light is what's inside of each and every one of us. And here we find the tree of life through the eyes of another. It too is within. And it must take root in order to grow.

Tree is a symbol of life and knowledge. It's a circle.

well deserved " Award Winning".. Good job!!!

A bold sheet ending. The story should be like this : After the drought of the sub Sahara desert (Sahel), and an empty deserted village, the message of the left elder to his son was " My days are numbered, and you are the last one of our kind. Go and follow the North star. There you'll find your path to a prosperous future ". Then, the old man gave him a valuable box and told him not to open It till you reach the never ending river. It is going to be your salvation. After crossing the dying Savannah, and the desert with all the difficulties in his path, at last he reached the cost of Libya. He tried the peace of gold that was in the box for a passage to the other side of the sea. After reaching the cost of Europe..... Sorry, I have to go. You know what follows.

very good film!!! i hope my body turn's into a tree when i pass on..

If this was a video game I’d play it for days

Bravo!🙏🏻🧚🏻‍♀️from BHARATH🇮🇳

Que divino!!! Me encantó... Un solo ser puede cambiar todo para bien... Perseverar a pesar de los desiertos que haya que cruzar💕🔥☀️🌳

Touching but very majestic story ever, Never Give'up.

Good massage for human misteks . Save trees and save water

It really deserves the award, great

magnifique variante désertique du célèbre haricot magique qui parait inachevée mais il s'agit d'un court métrage. superbe 3D la symbolique est mystérieuse et l'esthétique remarquable, bref j'aime beaucoup.

This story represent to do hard work even obstacles comes..in the end you achieve its fruit's...and store for next generation...

me when I watch this: wait, what.... that is deep on way too many levels....

I am sorry i can only hit like button once. This was beautiful. I love that the tree at the end is twisted and gnarled. Thank you.

Oh, it was the end of one civilization and the beginning of other

Is it me or da guy in orange scarf/cape thingy is like Barack Obama XD

Follow the stars meaning follow your path that your ancestor the elderly gentleman gave him a box with the tree of life that can grow in the middle of nowhere but he had to follow his path no matter how hard it worse and he want to turn around and go back but he had to take the rough road he had to stand in that storm and when the journey Was done he became a tree of life that can feed the generations that will take that path and take it further because they have food to sustain them to reach the stars Well made thanks for making it 🖤🔥🖤

Like a seed, hidden in the heart of a fruit, is an orchard invisible.

mind blowing man , so beautiful, just beyond awards!

Metaphor for life’s journey. In the end rebirth.

Audio is out of the box. Extra ordinary 🙀🙀😻

If this is award winning then it should have million views

i'm groot

Moral:Some times we lead a way following our leader,society,generatio etc blindly. We struggle with whole life time on that way to Achieving something special, but it’s nothing but a moonshine. Before realise that is illusion,we loss our life validity... But our next generation are ready to lead their life on the same way following us blindly.... I only got this.....

WOW, almost speechless! Thank you!!!!

Fabuloso muchas gracias 🙏♥️✨😃

*My friend went to a journey month ago, and today, I've just found out that he is now a grass*

Awesome music.. 😍😍😍

A stoic, unimaginative person who only follows instructios regardless of proper judgement cannot end well.....and never learn anything...a toy for others......

humanity is the real bag

He was having sleeping problems so his grandfather had to send him into the desert to become the Sandman, King of Sleep .Zzzz

Beautiful I just love it Fabulous movi

Extraordinary and so filled with deep meaning

A Pakan tree... so thirsty now. Beautiful story, seriously.

Beautiful film. I see something darker in this though - this tribe will forever be chasing the end of a receding ocean. How big is the ocean ... how long before it too, is gone and another tree has nowhere to grow?

The animation in imagery was truly groundbreaking it had me captivated from beginning to end. I really enjoy seeing such groundbreaking work I like to see more of it thank you for sharing with us Roderick Jackson

everyone praising the team who obviously deserve it but im sat here wondering what happens next....

One has to dedicate one's life for a better world so those children, still unborn, have a chance ...

Moral of the story: no need to have moral of a story every time.

Yes we can rebuild the world Go green😓😓😓

This short is larger than life message. Be a warrior and life & humanity will continue...

Over-complication of Everyone's Journey. 2 and a half * out of 5 though The CGBros really rock! Thank You!

exquisitely breathtaking just beautiful just beautiful

Beautiful

And... it Spring again!!!

What a beautiful concept!

Went on a journey to be reborn o.O?

The world has become a desertic place. Only few can survive in this barren landscape. Pakan goes on a journey, trying to save his tribe from extinction. All of his hope stored in a little box he carries with him ...

This is.......... Awesome...... No words.....

Personally, I don't think this film requires any explanation or interpretation. Which is not to say that one shouldn't. Well composed.
