Dix-huit kilomètres trois - Animation Short Film 2018 - GOBELINS 

I love how realistic the dialogue is. Some people in the comments say that they sound too much like adults but,in my experience, that's what most kids talk like. Especially when they're around 11-15 wich seems to be the case for these girls. A lot of times they hear adults talk like that so they imitate it to sound cool and mature. They didn't over do it though and that just made the dialogue feel real.

I want a whole movie of this.

In France, children from very poor socio-economic backgrounds can sometimes be taken to institutions called "foyers" to take care of their education and alleviate the cost of raising a child for the parents. They can spend several years or even their entire childhood there and only get to see their family occasionally. The tense climate there can sometimes remind of juvie, which explains why the kids keep running away. Even for girls, it's not uncommon for them to act tough and adopt a very specific way of speaking to try to fit in.

The dialogue feels so real!

I would like to see a full story about these girls having adventures, learning about problems and trying to solve them, fail many times and still be hopeful and develop their friendships.

I was looking a little closer at the details of this film. 1. The names on the characters' beds. We already know that the smallest girl's name is Lilou, but the others weren't mentioned (that I'm aware of). They have, however, written their names at the end of their beds; Prudence, Raf and Lucie. I'm guessing that (based on personalities being reflected in their handwriting) Prudence is the light-haired girl and Raf is the darker, short-haired girl. 2. I find it quite interesting that Lucie's name is on one of the beds, as we all know the girls were planning on going to meet her. Perhaps she left the foyer?? 3. Each of the girls seem to resemble a particular plant. Lilou resembles a leaf, with dark green hair and a twig with leaves on her head. Prudence resembles a flower - delicate and beautiful (but still with a bit of feist). She has very light pink hair with a small, pink flower on her head. Raf resembles a stick, which could represent a characterised robust tree. Her hair is brown, with a small twig on her head. 4. The last thing I noticed was the title at the end. At first, I thought it was just someone brainstorming ideas for the title. But I realised it was more likely to be the distances the girls have travelled to get to Lucie. The distance they travelled is a little longer each time, so I'm going to assume that they keep attempting to meet up with this girl and get a little further each time, but never seem to get there in time before they get taken back to the foyer. They probably cross off the distances each time or something like that?? I don't know, it's up to interpretation I suppose. I'm just so impressed by this film, there are so many small details and that makes me so happy, a lot of love went into this... I just want to see more omg.

It's incredible how little subtleties, like the flower child's reaction to the car at 1:02, the camera angles, shadowed lighting, and I'm sure other things I'm not even catching onto, convey a feeling of unease, of threat, of being watched, even before we fully know the plot of this little story.

This is so realistic. Love the dialogue. This is how my friends and I spoke when we were younger. I think as adults a lot of people forget what they were like as children, especially when it comes to how they spoke

I'm loving these new shorts. This one's minimalist and peacefully grounded approach to storytelling really clicked with me.

Me: *is fluent in French* Also me: *turns on captions because I’m scared of missing something even though I knows what they’re saying.*

I love how the film pauses, every so briefly, to take in nature and let the characters soak it in. It WORKS even for such a short time! Disney never does this...

it's cute how they all have something growing out of their heads.

Le style de doublage est vraiment cool ! Il fait très réel et naturel 🙂

Franchement, j'ai adoré. Les personnages sont géniaux déjà, j'adore l'idée d'un petit groupe de potes qui kiffe la vie en fuyant leur foyer. Les voir traverser la foret, les champs, la campagne, avec des dessins très agréables à l'oeil... ça donne envie d'être avec elles. Les voix sont super aussi. Le dialogue des personnages est incroyablement naturel et c'est franchement ça qui rend l'animation réaliste. Les petites plantes qui poussent sur leurs têtes aussi c'est super mimi >w< Bravo à toute l'équipe 👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻

I see a lot of comments saying animations made by students here NEED to be made into actual movies. And for one, I actually agree. Despite this having so little views, I feel like if this short film and most films uploaded onto this channel were commercialized as full-length films, no one would be able to ignore these students' awesome ability to tell a fantastic story. I wouldn't even mind going out (and paying for) to see films like Dix-huit kilomètres trois. Despite the girls drastically contrasting features, they seem to embody similar rowdy, tomboy-Esque personalities because of their living arrangement. This can be quoted from the top comment made by, *I AINT RANDOM*

C'est super beau, j'adore ! Et le petit fil rouge avec Lucie marche bien =]

these backgrounds are freaking amazing, I love the clouds and how well the art captures the feeling of being in nature with friends

I’d love to watch a full length film or series on these girls!

J'adore le doublage, je dirais même que ça fait le plus gros charme de ce short. L'animation est bien mais sérieux les voix sont incroyables

Woooow!!! Loved the detail at the end that wraps the entire story. You can see the 4 bunkbeds with the names of each of the girls (and by the way of how they are writen you can figure out wich one belongs to each girl). The corner right says "Lucie", so they're missing their former roomate who's not with them anymore. This is great visual storytelling.

on attend un film complet ! 😉

J'vais pas faire un commentaire constructif en mode "les couleurs sont pas mal lumineuse-an, les personnages sont hy-per bien écrit-an et le style graphique est pas mal représentatif de la naïveté de ses adolescente-ans" na na na, moi je vais dire "WOUAW KOMAN CT TRO COUL"

this has been one of my fav songs ever since this animation was published :) tysm for sharing it w me

The style, the voices, the atmosphere, all very distinctive and gorgeous! I wanted them to meet Lucie so bad! They just wanted a bit of peace and freedom... Would like very much a movie, or an entire series of these three little devils, what they do every day, their countryside shenanigans, and their continuous attempts to get to Lucie's house.

by far. BY FAR this is my favorite so far. just lovely.

Le voice acting est superbe. Et j'adore les dialogues. C'est très apaisant comme short.

the backgrounds were amazing

Gawd I wish more english movies in general, but especially animation had more natural fluid dialogue like this. People talking over each other and rapidly, and not everything's a conversation, it's just speaking sometimes to talk, adding flavor to what's happening, character building, not always story building in an overt way.

Nice one! Very sensitive, a piece of life extracted and portrayed with realism and beauty. Well done!

I need a second part of this or even a TV show would lovely, I swear just lovely!! 💕

I love how short but packed these animations are

this is the only reason why i wish i could understand french

JPP l'histoire du roti poisson , on sent bien qu'ils / elles utilisé leurs propres voix pour doubler xD

Meilleures petit film que j'ai vu sur la chaîne officielle des gobelins

Cette qualité d'animation mérite un long métrage !!! bravo à tous pour ce travail incroyable

J'ai envie de voir un film complet sur eux XD Trop bonnnnn 💕💕💕

by far my most favorite short film.

Don't smoke kids Lovely film~

oh my god, i wish this was a movie so bad!! i’d love to see an even bigger story with these characters and this gorgeous setting!

The music is Dorner Party by Black Lips btw Also I love the animation, it’s so smooth and the colors are v pretty especially the part where they’re in the forest and the way the light hits them, also has an interesting premise to it abt France’s foyers, the characters are interesting and the animation over all reminds me a lot of the movie Tekkonkinkreet

La perspectiva de todo el entorno, es decir la escenografia y la topografía del entorno mismo de los peraonajes y la eacen final de cuando a nuestros protagonistas me recordo mucho a mi infancia cuando mis padre y mis abuelos me llevaban a mi y a mis hermanos para Mexicali Baja California para el rancho de mis tios, en dónde se cultiva y cosecha el algodón y las naranjas y donde hay sectores tipo casas, vecindarios y hasta una pequeña ciudad. Mis saludos y Muchas gracias.

Holy... Amazing work done here. I really wanna see more of them. This is... I dont know how to describe it. I have a very vivid imagination and it was like I could see it all infront of me instead of just as a video. It felt like a real situation that happened once ago and not just like a story being told. Great work!!

this short film ever since it’s come out has had some a deep place in my heart. just viewing it makes me feel deeply nastolgic and emotional, most of the scenery and themes prominent in my own childhood. the animation and style is also gorgous i just ARGHHHH i fucking love this film

THE NAME OF THE SONG IS DORNER PARTY BY BLACK LIPS

Ohh jveux une suite c'est trop bien ! L'animation est géniale, et le doublage incroyablement vrai *^*

I don't know very much French and yet I still understood the basic story! This was beautiful.

Magnifique ! Ça mérite un long métrage !

Le double me tue à chaque fois 😆 tout est trop bien c super inspirant ! Merci pour cette énome boulot !

Happy this just randomly popped up in my recommended. T'was a delight.

Est ce que je suis la seule française ici ? Aussi non j’adore se court-métrage ( comme tous les autres)

J'ai adoré, le doublage et l'animation sont très réussis, bravo !

Les doublages sont géniaux !

interesting.. nice backgrounds.. good animation.. story wise it's not really engaging but I think that was the aim? a snapshot into their everyday lives?

"Special thanks to Adam Driver" Well played

Whoa I'm glad i watched to the end. I loved it, it was like a slice of life. Would love to see a full movie of this

lo riguardo spesso, e sono passato tre anni dalla prima volta

Reminds me of when I was a kid, playing outside all day long, finding adventures. Paradise.

Favorite 💖 i love this so much!! GREAT WORK!

I really wish they could make a film or a series with this.

Wow, bravo!! You guys did a marvelous job, keep up the awesome work!

This artwork is BEAUTIFUL!

C'est génial, les doublages sont vraiment top ! Et alors le dessin... TROP BIEN

I would watch this as a movie or a series.

je m'en lasse pas c'est pas possible ! elle est tellement cool cette histoire xD !

for anyone wondering, the song is Dorner Party by The Black Lips

j'adore , ça fait grave naturel les voix collent et les décors sont jolies !! j'ajoute que ce petit film me rapelle une vieille vidéo youtube que j'ai vu y'a longtemps avec des bouts du films Totoro et la chanson "L'hymne de nos campagnes" de Tryo par dessus lol

j'adore! superbe travail ! bravo

gives me FLCL vibes. and that ending was unsatisfying! AURGH!! haha but this was really good! congrats on completion and thanks for sharing!

I didn’t expect that but I love it, none the less.

Love every bit of this film )

I love this art style!

2:21 was so realistic

oh yes

C'est impressionnant! J l'aime beaucoup. Très bel art et animation!..

WAH C'EST GÉNIAL PTN BRAVO

Super touchant !🌻♥️

i love the art style and these girls are so adorable!! the one with short hair reminds me of one of my friends lmao

this is so perfect

This is so amazing!!!!

This looks amazing! It's gorgeous, super expressive, and I love the animation style! 😁 It really captures the feel of spending a summer with friends at the start. I'd watch a movie of this :0 it looks interesting!

vraiment très bon ce court métrage ^^

Rafraîchissante jeunesse Magnifique !

Wow this was pretty good could easily make a movie or show out of this it’s very well done

What a trio of absolute mad gals.

Wow, j'aime beaucoup !

Animation is spot-on!

C'est beua, c'est très joli ça me rappelle de beaux souvenirs

So fricking pretty !!!

I LOVE THIS!

j'ai dut regarder ce court métrage une bonne 20 aine de fois ... et je l'aime toujours autant

I think Lucile was the leader of the group and the oldest. She always got in trouble for her behavior, a free spirit who tried to run away with the girls, engaged in most of the fights in the foyer, that's why she was transferred to another one in the next town. I think Lucile might be a cactus, or a black orchid idk

Magnifique

i love this!

Quel talent dans cette école... !!!

If you're trying to find me, well you're gonna But I won't be staying with my mother I'm gonna lose control I'm going out on my own patrol But you won't see me with another I don't think I'll run away Maybe I will some other day But for now, I'm back a while, I'll say Why don't you come out here and play? I'm looking down on you from the hilltop I can't tell a Ranger from a real cop They seem like just the same All out to smear my name What can I do to make them all stop? I don't think I'll run away Maybe I will some other day But for now, I'm back a while, I'll say Why don't you come out here and play?

Très sympa bravo 👏 j’adore !

They definitely remind me of the kids from The promised neverland

magnifique !!!

magnifique travail de doublage !

Superbe.
