How ironic that the green broken marble she deemed unfitting was exactly what the troll toy wanted. If only she had seen the beauty in those broken, then she would have never lost them.
Love this because it's the best representation of life. You can't have everything you want without sacrifice, and this just cuts so deep. A wonderful animation.
See, I'm the type of person who would buy the doll with a missing eye. She wouldn't have stayed on the shelf long if I'd have seen her. I love dolls with oddities. Gives them a sense of personality.
That’s the thing me and my mom always did. We always would pick the doll or toy that is damaged or a little weird, because we knew people would probably not get the broken or different doll/toy. To me it makes the toy all the more special. Plus we got a discount!
I think she worried about being “fixed” more than helping. With her eye and the sticker on her box she focuses on making everything “perfect” again, and when she fixes toys, she finds things that match them (like the penguin’s eye) to make them look “fixed”. It’s why she rejected the cracked marble. It was damaged and wasn’t the same as her other eye, so it wouldn’t make her “fixed”. A good representation of how humans try to hard to be “perfect” when in reality the damaged parts give character and personality that someone “fixed” and “healed” can’t possibly have.
She was meant for a wonderful cause like her other doll friends. But what she was designed for she never got to experience. Her heart and mind was attached to one motif, the sticker that said, “To be fixed.” It was her destiny, she reasoned, above all else. Meanwhile, on her quest to find something to better herself she finds a little companion. But even then, she didn’t think long and hard over what was truly valuable in life. The green marble that was cracked, she didn’t see the value in that either. Because in her mind and experience, all things broken are worthless. Whereas the scrap dealer and the eye collector knew better- in fact they even treated the cracked green marble as money! (Kind of like torn paper currency.) It wasn’t an eye that she was missing; She was missing a heart. And so, she learned a hard lesson, and it will eventually hit her that her life was made to have many sorts of friends, great and small.
But she didn't get what she wanted. She was so distracted by the possibility she threw away what she had on something that she would have known was wrong if she'd taken the time to look it over more carefully. That poor pup. T_T
Oh my gosh, this is probably the best short I've ever seen. Extremely poignant, and it doesn't fix the problem right away, but forces the protagonist to live with a bad decision.
I find it crazy to think that, as a child, I would love a broken doll like that! I would think it’s the prettiest thing, and it looks like time hasn’t changed a thing
1:20 when she's sewing the penguins other eye on, on the table on the same side where the still intact eye is, theres a drawing of a eye, and on the opposite side theres an x carved into the wood too
(ToT) why did it end like that! I guess it helps the message stick. I hope the doggie was traded to an owner who will appreciate him more. Still, I guess she needed to learn to love herself before she could be in a place to give love. ❤
@@AdmiralJota Yea, and then she finds him with that better owner. And hopefully she’ll be content that her dog is at least safe. As for her, she can keep fixing other toys so that they too might get a chance in life.
So many good hints before the reveal. The drawing, the bg art, the way the dog led her around debris. And on that note, she lost her friend, but also her guide dog.
I'm almost afraid of the replies this will get but she's the only brown doll on the shelf. Maybe if the girl had been more careful when reaching for her, she wouldn't have ended up broken. And after she was broken, she was skipped over because of her imperfection and the promise was never fulfilled. That's a point I don't see a lot of people mentioning. So when she finally had a chance to be whole, like the other dolls, maybe filling the void of being passed over, she lost something important to her. It's a subtle parallel, don't know if it was intentional though.
The puppy knew what she was looking for and tried to help by giving her the closest thing he could find. She wanted the real thing so much she gave up the puppy who cared so much for her. She remembered that just before trying to put the eye in.
Una ves se me rompió la cola de mí picachu 😢 pero eso no me inporto ya que tuve buenos momentos con el, y ahora ❤❤❤❤ no lo uso 💔 pero lo tengo en una mesa para apreciarlo mucho 💗💗💝
