You guys know we can all see the most replayed parts 😭

The most unrealistic thing is that no cop would be that dedicated to taking down a pickpocket

Great animation! For the people complaining about 'love' being the cure to Jacks problem. I don't think it's love so much as finding someone who actually cares about you. That can help a lot.

The fact that the cop chased him down only to not take him in and just take the stuff he stole. This is amazing the art style amazing and the story kept me wanting more I love it I can’t believe I’ve never saw this 🥺😭💖💖

The way I would just EAT UP a series about this. The animation is INCREDIBLE, the character design are great, and the story feels complete despite being so short. I love this

i cry my ass off every time when she takes his hand in the end and his world is transformed...

I actually appreciate this story because as someone who faces something very similar (bpd+schizophrenia, what a combo) the visuals is exactly what it's like. Sometimes it's off putting, but tou learn to live with it because it's your norm and you HAVE to. And even if it doesn't ever fully go away, when you can finally heal, it really does feel like everything falls into place. I get turning to a bad lifestyle, could be because you can't function enough to do anything else, or it's all you know you can do, and the monsters within tell you to keep going because deep down you hate what it does to you. But eventually we can get the chance to break that cycle, and it's such a good feeling. My brain never stops seeing those monsters. Medicine never helped me, and it's how my brain works now. But I can learn to live with it, to not let it define me, and to live freely. It won't chain me down anymore. I hope everyone in these shoes can find that balance, that spark that allows us to move on and be free. Thank you for making this beautiful little movie Titmouse. It's refreshing and relieving to see such raw, real depictions with good meaning and a good ending.

This is incredible. All of the feelings depicted in this film are so real and raw. We need your art. Please make more art from the heart like this. (That last part is a message for everyone)

Saw this way back in 2015 when i was baked af in bed before a school night. Art style is better than 99 percent of western animation, animation itself is professional grade with a rough around the edges style that goes hard, the dialogue was so realistic and believeable and the whole thing was just a trip no cap on god bruh 10/10

it's so unfair that a ripoff of this has more views

This is making me nostalgic for the early 2000s artstyle that was popular at the time

I remember watching this years ago, it was cool back then but I appreciate it so much more now and can’t even believe we had such high quality film making at the time, no one just thinks like this anymore it’s sad

Loved this so much, a fantastic display of titmouse' talent in storytelling and visual design

This short film sort of displays a relatable sense(IMO) of how a person dealing with these type of mental issues copes and handles everyday life(not stealing, but emotionally). I admire every bit of this film and can relate to it on a higher level, personally and truly. I'm confident that this is a product of personal-expression and PHENOMENAL TALENT within their craft(animation). There's people with AMAZING TALENT that are not able to output their abilities 100% because of the monsters(mental issues) they're fighting/dealing with in their head. I do not know if David V., the producer of this film, created this, purposely, with the paranoid-schizo/schizoid-trope references in the film, but it is incredibly accurate. I also did deeper research and noticed that he has went on to directing, storyboarding, and much more in some films that were nominees. It's awesome that such talent has and is still flourishing until this day. Well deserved.👏🎬

5:47 bro what I didn't expect that to come

This has Gorillaz vibes.

It’s really fun seeing someone’s perspective like this. I have mild hallucinations which only come in the forms of shadow people which don’t happen too often (unless I’m feeling incredibly stressed and/or depressed) so it’s nice to see something show that off

why is this so unpopular even guys who reuploaded this have more views

That moment when she takes his hand and the music stops, his expression changes because he’s overwhelmed and barely able to comprehend just how much love can heal. It got me tearing up a bit.

i dont think he actually got ''cured by her love'' but rather he saw the way SHE sees the world and HIM through her eyes

You guys are responsible for animating some of the best shows in the past two decades and you only have 6.5 K Subs, thats just criminal

i love this art style so much, this vaguely reminds me of invader zim honestly this is actually so beautiful omg 😭

Wow…I usually associate Titmouse with some pretty trippy stuff, but this was REALLY engaging and beautiful: the kinetic and smooth hand drawn animation, the kickass soundtrack, and a pretty interesting take on mental issues with a heartwarming end. Just that image alone of the guy having his hand held and all the terrifying monsters fading away was near tear jerking. It’s a shame this doesn’t have more views even after all these years.

I remember watching this years ago. There was so much I did not remember from the first time around. It was worth watching again!

oh my god I thought I would never see this masterpiece again, one of my favorite animations of the 2010's and of all time. The crazy style and the voice acting are AMAZING I always loved how differently and pretty realistically all the characters were shaped, even one off background characters had so much personality to them. The movement and music and just EVERYTHING I absolutely LOVE it. Gives me iron giant vibes if it were a grittier and more mature movie.

The first step to letting others get close to you and accept you is to first accept yourself for who you are. Don't condemn the worst sides of you, let it be out in the open and get to know it. The knowledge of it's existence, its behaviours and how it makes you feel will make it easier for you to work on and this in turn will prevent it from controlling your actions and life.

without realizing it, I created my own characters based on this animation. i love this type of story and style so much.

If only it was that easy to dispel mental illness. Everyone says "how romantic" but it's clear she dismisses mental illness as a mood or a feeling, as in expecting it to pass and everything be okay, when here it is a fundamental component of his entire identity and is not something that will go away regardless of who is or isn't in his life. If anything he will just rebound into a greater spiral into mental illness when he fucks up again. Great animation though, too bad the nuance and subtext are lost on so many.

It’s crazy how sometimes the right love can transform your dark and evil world into a paradise and a lil brighter❤

I SAW THIS YEARS AGO AND I COULDN'T REMEMBER THE NAME!!! I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT IT A FEW WEEKS AGO AND IT POPPED UP ON MY RECOMMENDED. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS ANIMATION. SO GLAD I FOUND IT AGAIN

I love how it shows how much just one person can have an impact on some ones life

The absolute rollercoaster of emotions, the fluid art style and animation, the realistic morally grey characters…. I love it! 💝✨

Damn, Dib from invader zim has gone through some shit

it's incredible that not many people knows this channel exists

Even after 7 years i cant stop watching it

im so glad this is getting spread around again!! i saw this years ago near when it first came out and ive fallen in love with this type of geometric visual language for animations. a partner of mine is schizoaffective and has bpd and rly struggles with reality and scary stuff like this but they've told me that other people and having those meaningful connections rly does help them ground themselves in reality and make everything less scary

this is so good. you can see that he was fighting it so hard 🥺

I’m so sorry so many tik toks have just stolen your content and get so much more views and likes

i love the rough line work as a character design choice.

I wish this was a comic book or a full series

Love the sketchy look to it, amazing short.

I CANNOT believe how little views this has, truly a masterwork of art

Bro was the ops

6:40 WheRe yoU ThInk Yu GoiNg BoY??

I miss this story telling. All of the truths and no lies *slaps my hand together* collided with a hot cup of black coffee

This deserved at least his own mini serie

I'm very happy this exists.

I love the part when he grabs the hands of the other self and embrace him even the worse parts. Really deep and meaningful

7 years later after ignoring this video i finally watched it, gotta say it was genuinely amazing in every aspect & detail.

Watched this on a high school night. Enjoyed every single second.

this is extraordinary, when she held his hand and light came to his life i tore up. this animation is a work of art

Obsessed with this short, I've watched this at least 5 times this past week

This video means a lot to me. Kinda perfectly described my life at a certain point in time to an extent. It's a lot different now, but this video always hits close to home for me.

7 years and this is still one of the best short video

This is a masterpiece. No words can describe it in my mind

That was one of the top 3 best shortfilms I've ever seen, I'm really disappointed it took RU-vid 7 years to recommend it to me

oof the feeling that person gives you. that moment of peace and clarity is everything. thank you for representing this in such a creative way!!!!!

Dean from iron giant

I watched it when i was like 12,13 years old it was just a cool animation for me. Now i understand it and it makes me tear up.

i havent seen this in so many years, still rad and beautiful as the first time i saw it god was one of the animations that really inspired me to keep goin with this medium

This deserves more love 100%.

I'm ao glad I came back to this like 5 years later. It's still as beautiful and amazing as I remembered it

why am i only just now seeing this??? This is absolutely amazing! the art style, the story, the everything. I just love it so much!

This is a masterpiece. The animation, the history, everything should get more recognition, and i believe, probably 1 or 2 years in the future, this will have the views it deserves

Bro gave the meanest combo

How am i seeing this 7 years later?! This is incredible!

I remember watching this when it came out years ago; im SO happy to see it pop up in my recs again! Amazing work.

Dude this is amazing. Everything about it was so well done

This is so beautiful! Thank you for this!❤

7 years ago does feel like a whole different era

6:29 nice Address

4:43 bro this is incredible

This is just masterclass of animation and story telling.

Huh, thanks random recommendation

Perfect metaphor for life without/with her❤️

This reminds me of Downtown.

Would 100% watch this as a full animated series

Something about 2016 makes me think i was happier back then

It's been 6 years since I first saw this animation, seeing it under even 200k views is criminal

This is so Fucking good! You guys should make like an animated series of some sorts, like I’m seriously so impressed with this! Good job guys

Bro, pickpocketed everybody in the bus💀💀💀

the most rewatched bit nawwww

Coming up on shrooms when I found this, loving it. Very accurate mental illness shit. Like, try explaining to someone there's a witch doctor in your head making you do shit. Brains are so weird.

5:46 не благодарите 😅

good to see we're all revisiting this again

This need to be a 5 season tv show on HBO!!!

Damn this is awesome! Why TF does the sped up version of this has more views?

Who subscribed because of the animation of Diablo and even liked it more because of this? All I have to say in this short movie is WOW!♥

one of the best animations on youtube

Every detail of it is amazing

This is amazing animation and story 10/10. Really happy that it appeared in my recommendations.

That was a trip, really glad this got recommend to me. What an amazing short story! I love the art style. Especially the fast moving parts were very impressive.

5:47 That caught me off guard 😂

im suprised this video isnt in the millions of views, i remember watching this a long time ago and it was so nolstalgic to watch it again

Cant believe this came back to me after all this time

I’ve seen the cafe scene of this posted about a million times with the caption “amazing what a footjob under the table can do for a man” or something like that and it’s crazy that this video doesn’t have like a billion views

I remember watching this way back when it first came out, such a rush of memories to see youtube recommend it to me again

"we can do great things together" I love the afro demon scene And his art style 🔥

Romanian

1:23 you can't tell me that's not the femur breaker scream but pitched up
