Dimanche 

The meaning of film: I think this shortfilm is trying to tell us a story about the difficult side of childhood. The first scene shows how the child has a different reaction from everyone when the train crosses his town. In his face we can see an amount of surprise, while the adults just let it pass by without paying attention. Also, we can see the crows and how they don't look intereseted in the first quarter. Then, they go to the church where everything look gray. However, the church is a boring place for a child (I say that from my own childhood memories 😂). Now, at the moment that they went out of the church and go to the grandmother's house I noticed two interesting facts. A): when the father kills the little rabbit we can see how the crows wants to eat or play with its body. B): The kid doesn't pay attention to the factory by the side. Then, during the party, we see again how the adults are just talking between them and acting like the crows (whether they were having a good time or not, it didn't look like an authentic reaction). So, the kid decides to go out and repeat what he was doing in the morning: put a coin on the road. It seems like some people did not understand this part of the film and I want to explain what happened. The bear was not real. It was just a fantasy from child's mind. But despite the fact there wasn't a real bear, something died during the scene. I guess it was the child imagination.How? Well, just look at the birds. They start to play with this coin like it were a death body. It didn't happen with the first one. And when they go to their house again, the Kids looks interested in that cold and boring factory. In conclusion, the kid is becoming an adult.

The animation is about, how life is so miserable for a child who has to live in the life of hard-hearted adults... The child boy, tries not to turn into one of them and his imagination is his only free space for him to do something enjoyable and funny... Adults, even lost their imagination and live a very boring and regular life... That is why the surrounding is in grey color. There is hardly any bright color in the animation... Even the candies look grey... That is shortly, what this animation is showing. Don't except a funny or a surprising shocking ending... The animator probably took inspiration from his childhood times... * * * Bu animasyon, kalpleri taşlaşmış büyüklerin dünyasında yaşamak zorunda olan bir çocuğun zavallı hayatını anlatıyor... Genç erkek çocuk, yetişkin birine dönüşmemeye çalışıyor ve hayalgücü, eğlenceli ve ilginç şeyler yapabileceği tek özgür alan... Büyükler, hayalgüçlerinin renkliliğini bile kaybetmişler ve bu yüzden sıkıcı ve yavan bir hayat yaşıyorlar. Animasyondaki her şeyin gri tonlarda olması bu yüzden. Animasyonda neredeyse tek bir parlak renk bile yok. Mumlar bile gri gözüküyor. Bu animasyonun göstermeye çalıştığı şey kısaca bu. Komik veya sürpriz sonlu bir animasyon beklemeyin... Animasyonu yapan, büyük olasılıkla çocukluğunda yaşadıklarından esinlenmiş...

The bear...

poor boy, his life is so boring

The story has no moral but it shows the worst part in childhood

Sometimes life is unfair as a kid we never understand death but at least we let them go easily

Does it bother anyone else that he just left the sink running like that

Death seemed to be closer than they all think. I mean, just one step on the rails, you'll be turned into a pancake. The adults are so used to the haunting of death ( This is maybe represented by the shaking everytime the train passes by. The train itself is death.) that they just let it pass. It's so traumatic for a child to see this. He also closes his eyes (just like the adults) yet he never closed them after seeing the bear incident.

0:58 that's what I'll be doing the next time my clothes are wrinkled

Moral of the story: *Trains are the biggest things in the universe*

The things which took my interest in the movie. 1. Train 2. Animal killings 3. Father's dream of cutting a log with saw and price tag on it. 4. Grandfather's dream of tractor. 5. Mundane role of mother and grandmother. 6. The party which family of father mother and son attended which seems to be happening at his grandfather's home. 7. Last but not least The crows and their arrival after each and every killing. (I use the word killing on purpose as all those could have stopped so I am reluctant to call any of those as an accident) Through all these I generated a specific meaning . Which may or may not be helpful for others. Here I think the train symbolises time, a continuous moving entity , which is there in the begining and in the end as well. Father and grandfather's dreams are dedicated to their wish of getting more capital through different means. Though grandfather being old only can dream of that but father is still struggling to reach the top. Mother and grandmother are both shown very neutral just taking care of kid in one or another way, (which I didn't like as if that is only thing woman can think of ). And the people at party just behaving as those crows outside. Talking and eating ( as a crow do while eating on the deceased) and not caring to be able to anything around them, just noticing for a minute and then moving on with their lives. I choose to explain the role of child in end because he is most significant through out the story . He's playing with the coin by keeping it at train track indicate his zero conception and understanding of the value of money and time. Which makes him different from all others in the movie (specifically adult but he's the only kid so I am not able to create a kid's and adult's world as separate for this movie) but later while trying to call for that bear it's been shown that he tried to make change when he noticed wrong around him but no gain and hence he leaves the bear in that coin at the track. Giving up all the efforts he goes back to the world of not care because caring didn't help either and made him self more disciplined as if welcoming his understanding of helplessness and accepting it completely and finally the factory in the last indicate his arrival as disciplined child back to the modern world .. you can see the track is still in the picture and their car didn't stop at factory either which indicate the ongoing process and that it's not end.

This animation reminds me of mychildhood. It was ever so boring, cause everything was planned. I didn't liked adults too. They always look tired and say cruel things. Because i didn't like my daily life, i always imagined myterious and dangerous things. and then i realized i suddenly become adult :( this animation means a lot to me thanks for your great work😊

이런거 보는 한국사람 저밖에 없나요? 저는 이런 그림체 너무 좋아서 이런 거 계속 보게되요

4:53 I love how in that part the music is rhythm with the voices

we seem to close our eyes to the inevitability and the large presence of death in our lives, occupied with the habits and cycles we go through as we wait for it to come. likewise, we take life so nonchalantly when we eat, hunt, travel and survive that we’re almost numb to death, and some even take it as a trophy and something to be proud of when we induce it. some deaths create large ruckuses and disturbances in hopes that the dead would be remembered. but they only will be remembered partially through images and the memories of others. ultimately, death is quick and fleeting, and once it happens, life continues to go on no matter what. bit of a gloomy outlook in my opinion, but quite interesting.

6:26 Parece a cena do v em Spring Day This reminds me of the V scene on Spring Day

for the people who speak English here the word Dimanch is French for Sunday and Sunday in French speaking countries is a day to be spent with family which is why they went to their grandparents house and the relatives who came later and also the obvious one a day to go to church and this animation most likely takes place in Quebec, Canada since the coins said Canada in it and Quebec is the French speaking Province

I love this film. Every now and then I come and watch it again. Such a lovely style and beautifully animated, the story, the sound, every little detail.

王だったクマをダメにしたら工場が潰れた？え？分からん。 けど好き。

Je trouve que ça capture vraiment bien l'ennui dans lequel on se trouvait parfois, enfant.

This is so well done, even down to their radio in the car, then it ending when the grandma turns off the radio in the house and constant exaderations to the story just how that a little kid would be perceiving things, I fell in love

3:56 me recuerda a Coraline con la taza de cereal xd

This short did a really good job at making everything look boring, I felt the same way as that kid! Very well done!

6:28 i remember taehyung from the mv spring day lol

No entendí ni una sola palabra we pero me dio pena lo del oso xd

Acho que a maioria dos comentários daqui acabaram que tirando da minha cabeça o que eu estava pensando sobre esse desenho. A vida sem " sem cor " dos adultos acabaram que transformando o mundo colorido de uma criança em " sem cor ". Acho interessante a parte da igreja, onde o pai do menino está dormindo enquanto sonha com os bens materiais! Acho que isso representa a obrigação que a maioria das pessoas têm de ir na igreja, não é como se elas fossem realmente para a igreja ouvir a palavra ou algo do tipo, é como se fosse uma rotina, e aí entra a questão de que muitos estão na igreja enquanto seus pensamentos estão no mundo. Bem, eu acabei que interpretando assim. Gosto de assistir essas curtas-metragens e ler as opiniões diferentes que se encontram no comentários, porque para mim todas as versões fazem sentido

Here's what I understood from this video: The boy lives in a world of the olden times (in a village) where hunting is normalized and to be religious was given more importance than being educated (seeing that the Church was a big building in one of the scenes but we don't see a school 🏫 in any of the scenes) unlike the rest of th family, he doesn't like eating meat especially one that was made from the brutal killing of an animal and he would rather sympathize with them, he's also shocked by the fact that their parents drove over a rabbit on the road and just casually ignored that animal. Also, this may sound crazy but the pictures and the frames that would fall down whenever the big ass train, which i assume to be full of civilised passengers, probably indicates that for the sake of civilization in urban places we are ignoring the necessary needs in rural places by the falling of their pieces of furniture and their weak architecture. The happy music played on the radio by the dad which is completely different from what the main character is feeling, he is not happy. Oh and the adults talking nonsense and speaking gibberish can also indicate that, to his young mind, these adult talks don't make sense to him. PLEASE IGNORE THIS COMMENT BECAUSE I PUT THESE NOTES FOR MYSELF TO LOOK BACK SOME DAY

I love the music. French music gives me happy and sad vibes at the same time.

Los adultos y sus rutinas junto a la falta de empatía por los animales, hacen de la vida del niño, algo gris y sin mucho sentido para él...

6:23 its remind me of taehyung in spring day

The story is very abstract. And beautiful too

The father always plays some good music in the car ☺ just how i wanted it ❤

I loved it. It’s charming w/o being treacley. Gorgeous subdued color palette. Trés bien.

The adults rarely open their eyes. =^)

For those who don’t know, “Dimanche” means “Sunday” in French!

While I love Disney and can at least appreciate anime, it's nice to see animated films that DON'T fall into either of those categories or emulate those styles. That being said, this is an awesome short film. It and "Wild Life" are two of the best animated shorts to not only come out of Canada, but two of the best animated short films I've ever seen ("Wild Life" is one of my personal favorites). Thank you for posting this, Canada Film Board!

Me gustó la animación, pero no la entendí. Saludos desde Argentina

Like si bajaste a ber los comentarios si algen abia entendido el video pero todo estaba en ingles

BEST ANIMATION EVER

I can feel all of it !!! Veary good work !!! Thank you for that amazing animation to all worked hard for it ! ✌️👏✌️

6:24 okay but like why does this remind me of spring day when Tae lean down on the rail Road??

Sometimes, living in a way where you choose to sacrifice fun and happiness in exchange for necessities is just something that won’t always work out.

I watched this movie 10 times every now and then. I love such movies, although there wasn't much going on, the film interested me a lot.

8:56 why are his eyes closed while he’s driving

As much as i love the film style, i have problem to understand the story or is it meant to have different interpretation for each of us?

Thanks to the one comment explaining this it is quite interesting on how life is impossible to enjoy with adults with impossible rules or live by impossible standards it's a sin but so children must live on with it it makes me sad on how some kids could think this is normal

Awesome creations

The art style is absolutely fantastic

6:30 part from spring day 🌸~

Hmm, I wish I had these songs Does anyone know or have a playlist with this kind of music?

After a long time when I see this type of Childhood video I just feel relax. And I imagine my childhood what a beautiful days and so memorybel. And That time I feeled my life is so boring 😑

I love this s animation, the tiny feet, tiny wheels, everything's off kilter, very cool

THAT TRAIN!!!

This seems like such a fond memory of the animator's. Even if the memory wasn't as enjoyable as he'd have liked it to be.

Now I know why my cousin loves this short!

I love the animation and artstyle

Ç’était pénible à cette époque, jusqu’à l’arrivée de génération du Wi-fi. Je peux le comprendre parfaitement. Dans ma famille, ma soeur et moi nous contentions que d’admirer le court d’eau du fleuve ou de jouer à cache cahe dans la ferme avec nos cousins & cousines durant nos visites chez nos grands-parents de la campagne. Il n’y avait pas d’énorme activité à s’inventer et aucune grand intérêt d’écouter la conversation des grandes personnes. C’est triste mais c’était beaucoup mieux d’aller jouer dehors pour profiter du plein airs que d’y rentrer clouer à l’intérieur assis à la table.

when i saw this, i immediately remember the webtoon Gourmet Hound

I love the animation style. Keep doing what you're doing, ONF. 👍

There are actually a lot of story behind the animation which is really cool

The train is so huge, though.

Ever think about how the train divides their town? you can't walk over the tracks because the train could come.

This is why we should be thankful, that our lives isn't THIS boring.

Oh man .. this 9 minutes animation need 2 time watch to interpret it and it worth my time ... Amazing

Then I realized it practically had dark humor in it xD

Hola 2019 alguien español obvio

love the style!

I think it's the saddest cartoon I've seen. I like the animation, thank you.

Ни черта не поняла ( • _ •)

Soo none gonna talk about how they doing everything with closed eyes?

Une animation au style trés plaisant. Beaucoup d'inventions surprenantes. Et en dépit de la stylisation, on obtient une vrai tranche de vie. Bravo !

i remember this video like once a year

日本人～いませんか～(*‘ω‘ *) 英語だらけやww

ARMY are you familiar? 😂 6:25

Les dimanches sont vraiment fantastiques

I can feel the connection

What does that big factory resembles? The kid looks interested on it

Hermosa historia

Animator: **makes short film with a very unique style** People Who watches it: **gives it meaningful meanings** Animator: ...

Brilliant drawing and colour palette

is this a metaphor for something?

Para la gente que habla español, de nada ;D Mi explicación: La animacion es anormal, como la vida es tan miserable para un niño pequeño que ah vivido en el mundo de los adultos de corazón duro, el niño trata de no recurrir a uno de ellos y su imaginacion es su unico espacio libre para que haga algo agradable y divertido... los adultos incluso pierden su vida viviendo en una vida aburrida y regular por eso el entorno es de color gris, casi no hay un color brillante en la animacion, los dulces se ven de color gris incluso eso es poco, lo que muestra en la animacion no es un final gracioso o sorprendente El animador debio de haberse inspirado en los tiempos de la infancia... De nada! La verdad la explicacion se la debemos al comentario de ingles que esta abajo del mio, no sabia copiar y pegar asi que anote todo su texto y lo traduci del traductor de google para después copiarlo en papel y asi escribirlo aqui Tengan un buen día espero haber sido util Ten un dulce de un color brillante * se lo da* 🍭🍬🍫 Adios! *Camina por los pasillos de youtube*

The crows were amazing!

I wish I were a kid a again so that I could really really appreciate this

Cool animation. It really shows how boring our lives are.

I liked the music, where can i find it?

Бедный медведь. Мне его жалко. А так мультфильм интересный)

Congratulations for 100k sub u deserve it

И тут мое детство закончилось...

3:52 - 4:01 It reminded me Coraline , when Spink and Forcible gave her the bowl of old candy. Me recordó a Coraline, cuando Spink y Forcible le dieron el tazón de dulces viejos.

gosh life the world was more pure at that time

Incase ure wondering, Dimanche is Sunday in french

attend... ;-; le titre est en français ;-;,les personnages dans la vidéo parlent français ;-;,la description est en français ;-; et les commentaires ne sont pas en français ;-; moi je comprend rien ;-;

6:22 BTS!! SPRING DAY!❤️

La animación trata sobre cómo la vida es tan miserable para un niño que tiene que vivir en la vida de adultos de corazón duro ... El niño niño trata de no recurrir a uno de ellos y su imaginación es su único espacio libre para él. para hacer algo divertido y divertido ... Los adultos, incluso pierden su imaginación y viven una vida muy aburrida y regular ... Es por eso que el entorno es de color gris. Apenas hay un color brillante en la animación ... Incluso los dulces se ven grises ... Esto es, en breve, lo que muestra esta animación. No lo hagas, excepto un final divertido o sorprendente ... El animador probablemente se inspiró en su infancia ...

Thank, good job

Alguien que me explique en español? Ayudaría a muchos. 🤷🏻‍♀️👇

6:24 this part reminds me V of Bts on Spring Day

My heart melted;-;

So emotional
