If you think you're ugly, look around. Is there anyone around you that you would call 'ugly'? No? That's because no one is ugly, only flawed. Flaws don't make a person ugly, they make a person.
Thanks for creating this i was in year 5 when our teacher showed this to us as a topic we can get ideas and write stories from based on it I remember being new to England and the school at that time my English wasn't good and when I saw this in School I was unsure and didn't really understand much except for the fact that it was sad but but 8 years later I suddenly remembered about this and i searched it up unsure I I'm even typing the name right and I found it and watched I got sad all over again but I understood better and I felt nostalgic it was nice to come back to it when I first watched it in year 5 I started getting really into Writting this definatly gave me a boost of inspiration but than around year 10 I stopped Writting and today after watching it I got inspired again i just wanted to thank you I guess for how much this meant to me
I usually don't cry watching sad movies, but this one.. It is SO emotional. Our animation teacher showed us this in class, and everyone was touched by how well done this movie is. Honestly the best animation shortfilm I've ever seen!
Disney won't show this. Sad thing is, there's more in this little Animation, than in most Disney cartoons nowadays, imo Animation- 10000000% , brilliant planning, amazing work.I wish I had that much skill in modelling, animation And writing.
I just came from your worm animation and I have to say this is an amazing step forward, well done Edwin! As an aspiring 3D animator its great to see that with time and effort, work like this is truly achievable.
This piece of animation was beautiful, in what was about and the way it was done it touched my heart like no animation had ever done before I hope you go on to become a big thing in animation.
this is so cool, i've heard a lot of students saying this, which teacher was it?? thats so awesome!! New shortfilm coming out on the 28th, please come watch it!
Is he dreaming about what he says to dad? when the background becomes clear again he is sat back on the bench. Was he imagining what he would like to say to dad?
It’s so sad, touching and emotional, also makes you think... His eyes and his trembling voice...Ohh😔. I'm sure that he is much more beautiful and better than all those people who called him "freak." Good work mate! It’s really brilliant video! In a three-minute video you showed that some can not show the whole movie! And I really do not understand why you have so few subscribers on your channel.
Well done on a brilliant and emotional short. It must of taking you a long time. I know for my short animation it nearly killed me so I have total respect for anyone that attempts it!
I watched this at school, and before it came on we were all rowdy. We had to write a story on it. When we were watching we got all quiet and we all had tears in our eyes. This is truly powerful and gets even the toughest people.
How wonderful sensitive human you must be , to describe every emotional excitation , in the face of the little boy , so precisely and recognizable , for every viewer ! The boy's face tells more about deepest feelings , than a million words can ever do ..... Can't get enough watching it , although , it breaks my heart ..... Thank You Soo , Soo Much !
Edwin Schaap, Hats off to your skills and your determination. You are one outstanding 3D artist in its true sense and an inspiration to other artists at the same time.
I'm in that part of RU-vid again. After you visit it you'll feel like some part of your heart and soul has warmed up. Your mind would probably stop thinking for some time, letting the emotions flow. And you will most likely have tears running down your cheeks. Love it.
Thank you!! No part 2 in the making but I still want to write a movie about him. Also. A new shortfilm is in the making. But not about little freak. Another fun little boy!
Wow...absolutely incredible! Big ups to you man...possibly the best character animation I have seen for a while! The facial animation choices you made for the kid were perfect and perfectly timed! Cant wait for the next...you have inspired me to finish my short!!!
it makes me want to cry everytime i see this edwin, i would love if this was longer, i've watched it about 100 times and i'm not tired of it, and everytime it makes me feel the same way, love it thanks for doing it and i would really encourage you to keep doing this great job, well done!
I just wanted to let you know 2 things... 1 i admire you for accomplish this on your own. and 2 it breaks my heart every time i see it.... IT IS BREAKING MY HEART RIGHT NOW, i just can't help burst into tears....Well done sir...well done...
ahhh thats awesome! I've seen more people saying that, i wonder if it was all with the same teacher! i'd love to know who the teacher is because thats awesome!
wonderful it made me sit and think about those without the confidence to speak out. truly amazing work despite of it being short. I wish it were longer. :'(
Oh, his lips, his chin, they're so emotional. And this move at 2:24 filled with hope and sadness. *sobbing*. Just want you to know you made a great job.
i cry every single time i see it again. This is a master piece, i'm studying animation, i hope some day i can to at least something 50% as good as this, with so much emotion, and such a beautiful art.
everyone is bullying me because im shy and phillipino i cant spell that country-_-cause im in the country england in my school everyone is not phillipino.i look like the only one and that makes the target why everyone keeps bullying me.and my voice
That whole speech he gave about not being happy with his life, and that he could be something more was all in his head, and it ends with him not really saying what he wants to say.
Oh my god! I haven't felt such an emotional pull from a cartoon since, well I can't remember! I'd say I felt more emotionally connected to this small moment than to entire Pixar Films! I'd love to see a whole movie!
its like notre dame (i don't know the right spelling)... Both good at carving and their other eye has a bulk... Though this kid has... I dont know what they are, Yeah. But this really has a feel...
this is so cool, i've heard a lot of students saying this, which teacher was it?? thats so awesome!! New shortfilm coming out on the 28th, please come watch it!
We had this for our Lockdown Homework as we have the corona virus we are all not at school so for our 8th Week Homework and we had to review it and answer comprehension sheets and loads more and when I saw the short film it was INCREDIBLE absolutely astonishing flabbergasted 😮!! This should be a FULL movie and should be on netflix and all movie platforms!! Incredible amazing I recommend this to all people to watch
This short is truly amazing. I keep rewatching and studying the expressions .. I'm just mesmerized by how much life you gave to this character. I instantly liked him lots and hope he does get what he wants.
I loved this short film very much and I wish this would be a theatrical movie and also I want to see what this boy do to earn place in everybody's hearts
