Starry Eyed Duckling | Sheridan Animation | Thesis Short Film 2023 

Thank you all for 400k views! I never thought my film would ever even reach past 10k lol. Although I can't respond to every comment, I read them all, and they always make me very happy. I hope my little ducky was able to spread joy and wonder into your day just like you to mine

I actually love the part where the young man asked "Did you forget to close the curtains again?" and returned the cute duckling home complete with hat and outfit.🥰

This short film actually makes me so happy! It was beautiful and whimsical, and it made my day. Probably even week. I felt like I was experiencing the story with the duck, excited to see the world with it, curious to see what was behind of each portal. It awakened a nostalgic feeling of childhood; it makes me wonder if I can approach life with the same joy as the starry-eyed duckling. The film was over all too soon. Excuse me, as I re-watch this ten more times!

That small tail wiggle is so GODDAMN ADORABLE!!

AWW the duck is too adorable!!!! Makes me cry❤

reminds me of my childhood favorite stuffed duck and all of the adventures we've had together :)

HIS LITTLE HAT AND CAPE!!! ITS SO PERFECT!!

I love the duck sitting around with the placid plastic ducks 😭

This is so gorgeous! You totally nailed every bit of lighting and color choice! Such a sweet idea to have adventurous curiosity have consequences but also rewards! And they got their outfit! ✨🐥🌟 Oh gosh and they look so dapper!! Love this sweet duckling 🥺💖

The design of the ducklings is everything

Ohhhh the little thump when the duck fails to get back up made me tear up, and the abrupt end to the music. Also his little happy dance after leaving door #3 is so cute

so beautiful! the only thing I’d like changed is that his little flippers don’t make any noise. wish I heard a little “flip flap flip flap” whenever he runs

The duck was lost, and luckily the magicians helped him~ The duck butt looks just like my plushie's. 🐤🐥❤

This is way too adorable! I love that lil duckling so much and the colours are all so lovely 🥺

This entire time I was just squeaking “DUCKIEEEEE” in various forms of emotion

This would be a wonderful children’s book

When the little duckling fell and couldn’t get up again, it broke my heart. I just wanted to hug him so bad 😭 I hate when cute things get hurt 🥺

I loved it :’) The duckling design is so round and cute! Super fun to see the different worlds they got to visit (they even got to be kaiju sized!). I’ll admit I about cried when they fell and got hurt ; ; Lovely work 🌻

I nearly cried real tears in the middle 😭 Time literally froze for a min for me. But the ending was perfect!! Thank you for this beautiful animation 🥹🥹🥹💚💚💚

I was planning on doing my bachelor short film involving ducklings which is also based on a true story! this was great inspiration i love it

I love this animation, got me a little teary eyed thinking this was gonna turn a dark end😮‍💨 I love the little detail on the mother duck’s face in the end with lines under her eyes, probably been searching for her duckling for hours❤

The cutest thing is his little legs, he gives me a lot of tenderness because he is just a little duck who, like a child, wants to explore everything. 😢

Oh thank goodness! 😭😭 I was so worried for the baby! And thankfully the magicians came and rescued them. And gave the baby an adorable little suit after healing.

I love duckies a lot and this short film is just delightful! I like the sounds the ducks make and my favorite little adventure was when the baby duck was accidentally terrorizing a tiny village omg

when the starry eyed duckling came back with a cape and hat on is superrrrr cute TT

Aww this is such a wonderful and sweet animation, your soundwork is absolutely superb!! I really love your artstyle and the little effects you did in your short film were incredibly well done!!!! The portals to the other worlds were such a fun idea and i love what you did witht them. Im so glad baby got home safe and sound with the help of the magic folk (　＾▽＾)

So many cute moments in this! Lovely story beats too! Great job Britney! 🥳

This reminds me of my duck plushie that is sadly lost a few summers ago. This is makes me so happy, it's like he's still with me through this adorable short film!

This makes me so happy ;-;' this little duckling deserves the world and so do you. Everything about this makes me happy

THE WAY MY HEART FELL THEN I GOT SO HAPPY AT THOSE TWO THAT HELPED THE LITTLE DUCKIE.

Aww I love this! ❤ Great job! The artwork is brilliant!

this is amazing! i really love the art and animation, the way the background goes out focus, the happy music as the ducky happily walks around. I got so sad though when the ducky fell :,)

This is beautiful art. Love your work.❤

I really love it 😆 please make another one about this duck

Ahhh that was adorableeee, awww, it warmed my heart🥰🥰🥰 it was so cute exploring the different worlds and awww when it fell and all it could do was let out tiny quacks awwww🥺🥺🥺 and the mama duck looking for it awwww😭😭😭 but i'm so glad the wizards helped it out and even gave it a wizard outfit awwwwww awwwwwwww🥰🥰🥰 Amazing job on the fun story and the animation and colour rendering as well! Although, one tiny little opinion; where the baby ducks were sleeping, I wish you didn't stick to the normal bed that humans use with them sleeping lying facing up or to the side. Rather, I wish you just imagined a bed that accommodates the way ducks naturally sleep where they just tuck their neck and feet into themselves. It would've been soo cute. Or the baby ducks sleeping cuddling up to the mum. But other than that I loved EVERYTHING about this lovely short!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

This is so adorable!! Just a whimsical, funny fantasy story. Relaxing ❤

I'm surprised. It got my interest, caprured my curiosity, made me genuinely worry for the duckling and then gave me a great, big laugh at the end. Excellent job!

Funny falls through the opening where he lands with all the little floaties ducks, that was adorable. ❤❤

I LOVE IT why did the ducks have beds to sleep in! how can a duck be so cute!!!! how can the duck sit up in bed like a human! so in love with the design of the ducks, and the whimsical feel to the whole film. Great job!

This is how it was passed down to the children of future generations. Yes, I realized that my senior had given me duck powers. It's a sign that I'm getting old😌

Wow! I really love the animation style and music. It's adorable and wonderful. Thanks for posting such a cheery and lovely animation. You did a brilliant job!

This was the cutest thing! Thank you for sharing this with the world 🥰

Beautiful! I like everything about it 🤩

This is one of the most delightful pieces of animation and storytelling I've ever seen. Excellent work!❤

Oh my gosh, this is adorable. New confort short. Also, incredible atention to detail and well animated. I love it.

This was amazing!!

I think it's about not being afraid of dreaming big. But acting upon certain dreams and trying to achieve them can land us in bad situations, and that they were not meant for us anyway. But no matter what trouble we find ourselves, we always can climb out of the hole. That's all I got from it.

Oh my gosh this is adorable. ❤❤

This animation is so whimsical!!!!!! And cute!!
