The Last Winged Puppy | Thesis Film 2024 

Someone watched Ringing Bell and Unico as a kid. Lovely job.

Oh my god this was fantastic I love the ghibli vibes and how fluid all the motions were and the beautifully painted backgrounds really sucked me into the world of the film!

This is just GORGEOUS, like actual full length film quality

ITS A FLYIN PUPP

it turned out so marvelous!! phenomenally animated and the backgrounds, little critters and composition all looks so beautiful and fun as well!!

This legit has a Ghibli and chirin's bell vibe and i'm here for it ! - the fact that you made it all on your own is twice as impressive, absolutely stunning job, i'm waiting for the million views :)

They better give you that freaking A Paula. I'm rioting if you don't

Feels like a spiritual successor to Unico! The little character is so cute, and the animation is so smooth! Ah, and the backgrounds! Everything really!

This is adorable as it is also very sad. Imagine just waking up one day and you become the very last of your kind.

Paula! It's me! I almost teared up. I'm so proud of you. Oh my goodness. This is beautiful. Beautiful! And I love the music. And the nuance of the other sounds. ❤

I love how the sounds of the ghosts (?) travel from the left side to the right side along with the video. It’s a very nice touch and really helps the video be more immersive.

I got this recommended to me, and I absolutely love this. The art style and design, the fluid animation, everything made this so pretty. I love the puppy's design, and the way the eyes were drawn. It looks like it would be an official show or movie, and one that I would watch. It's so incredibly underrated as well.

It looks so much like a Tezuka film mixed with Studio Ghibli and a bit of Ringing Bell, a work of art

There’s no way this wasn’t inspired by unicorn but it’s soo unique in itself I just love it

This is so beautiful! Oh my gosh, the atmosphere and the little drop with the puppy flies is so adorable. So smooth aaah

I love how the sprites turn into butterflies so the pup learns how to fly, this is so cute 🥹🥹

Give me a load of 2000s kids anime movies, the style reminds of Osamu Tezuka media in the 2000s (after he passed away in 1989 sadly, but still most films based off his work were amazing from that time,) the backgrounds are wonderfully drawn, detailed, the animation is fluid, even smooth, the character designs are pretty well done too, the music fits the film really nicely as well, Honestly this film give me some childhood giddy I hadn't had in years, reminded me of so much Japanese related stuff from my past, so that's another reason I loved this film very much, the inspiration is obvious, almost a love latter to those pieces of media, honestly hope you got a good grade, or something for this film, I hope the people you showed it, and/or yourself are happy to see it come to life, Great job all around, hopefully this gets more views, and appreciation, it deserves such, stay safe, take you're time, and keep up the talent!

This is beautiful and the movement is so fluid. also love the designs reminds me of Unico

this is the cutest thing I've ever seen. I wish it was just a tiny snippet of a whole movie or a comic of some kind! I'm already so invested in the world and characters :oD

The painted backgrounds are so pretty! I loved the artstyle of the film, so cuteee I really really liked the spirits and how they reminded him to fly by turning into butterflies! My favorite parts: 0:22 the little sigh awww 0:56 The facial expressions on the pup was so well done omg 1:20 I got chills!!

those little spirits remind me of the ones found in Never Alone! These is a masterpiece, beautifully done!

The algorithm has blessed me once again!! This animation is so fluid and the colour palette has such a warm and wonderful feel to it. Honeslty deserves lots more recognition because the quality is ethereal!! Bravo :o❤

Brilliant work!! Everything from the animation to the sound design is absolutely immaculate. Couldn't be more impressed, thanks putting this out for the world to see!

It reminds me of a beautiful combination of Studio Ghibli and Cartoon Saloon! Two of my top favorite animation companies!❤

HOW DID I NOT SEE THIS SOONER OMGGG. This is such a beautiful amazing animation, the vibes are so magical and you captured the feeling of flight so well in this!

THAT WAS AMAZING! Just ... Yes! I hope we see more from you in the future!

I AM SO PROUD OF YOU PAULA!!!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤

Oh.My.Goodness!This looks like the old Kimba the white Lion!So fluid animation and so sweet color palet!Amaizing!❤

Absolutely breathtaking.

I love whimsical Ghiblian films like these and I love the reference to the fu Dog statues

This was amazing! Beautiful! Magical! I'd watch a full movie with this adorable puppy and the spirits and what adventures they might have together!

Very nice! Such nostalgic feelings from the style and character. It brought a smile to my face to imagine either the spirits or the spirits of the pup's ancestors were helping them fly to boost their esteem until their wings became stronger.

This is so adorable! Amazing work!

This is so cute. The art style is giving me unico vibes

I love the cheering of the spirits in the end

That dog and the Spirits are so Cute :)

This is fantastic! I love the dog, the dragonflies, the butterflies… the whole thing. It’s magiik. Toki the cat must be very proud of you.

LOOOVED WATCHING THIS AT THE FESTIVAL THANK YOU FOR BEING SUCH AN INSPIRATION!! also congrats on graduating!!!!!

This is beautiful!! 💖

This needs to be a movie

Very impressive, this is giving me Ghibli/ Unico vibes. Worthy of a 80s era feature.

The tezuka esc vibes from this film is incredible! Utterly love this!!

Wild how it typically takes a whole team to make stuff this magical and high quality. I notice a lot of the best artists are the ones who take wonderful works that existed prior and seek to bring that same magic into the modern day. Uninspired art is just filler, this is a true work of art. I could only wish to see this concept brought into a full length film.

He looks like a cross between Kimba the white lion and Kaiba!! Absolutely adorable style, fantastic art and scenery, and GORGEOUS animation!!! Well done!!! :D

Omg this is incredibly beautiful!

I absolutely love this, from that first emotional nuzzle to the statue, to the gorgeous backgrounds and the pretty background music. If it's possible to go further with this, this would make a great comic, great mini cartoon, or even an amazing idea for a video game Spyro style

This is legitimately one of the most beautiful thesis film animations I've ever seen. Flawless execution, fun idea, perfect soundtrack. Just all around awesome. EXTREMELY underrated work.

That was unbelievably cute

HOW DOES THIS ONLY HAVE 5k VIEWS?!?! THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!

OMG the animation and backgrounds are amazing and the Osamu Tezuka vibes with the art style…beautiful

I have no words, yet I must comment how wonderful this is!

That was absolutely lovely! The tippy taps of the paws were so satisfying to listen to and I adored the sound of the bell 💛

Dude omg this is amazing! The animation is so fluid and pretty and the backgrounds are gorgeous

no wonder paula is sleepy... must've taken so much out of you. what a dreamy film.

The puppy's design is so adorable!! The animations were so fluid & graceful, too.

Ma'am this is so beautiful, is like studio ghibli level of quality and fluidity. I glad youtube recommended me this. 😍

the bell allows for so many sfx during movement that otherwise would have been quiet, really energizes the whole animation even further, great work

this is honestly one of the most charming thesis films ive watched like EVER even though theres no dialogue theres still so much personality put into everything and the environment just feels so real almost like youre actually there theres such a calming feeling that comes with watching this and it makes me want to learn more about the story of this little critter and just the world theyre in in general!! im absolutely in love with this film and im really looking forward to seeing if you post anything else in the future! if you do, im sure itll be amazing

Half expected the little shapeshifting things to be evil or something lmao

gives me ghibli vibes with a Osamu Tezuka inspiration for the character, looks really good!

This is SO hecking cool! This is so beautiful, the character is so hecking cute, too ;w; Thanks a ton for sharing, and I wish you all the best for the future, you're an awesome animator!

Ooo omg it’s so fluid and fresh:DD I love the detailed backgrounds-the colors are like candy for my eyes!!! Super cute puppy :D

The cuteness, the enviorement, the quality, this is all amazing!

This gave me goosebumps, made me feel like a child watching Studio Ghibli films for the first time again

I know the adorable puppy character deserves a lot of praise, but the forest sprite designs are so creative!! I love how they shift into all kinds of animal forms, and even shift into butterflies to remind the pup how to fly. Soooo good and fun to watch.

Would love a full movie like this.

Really cute, lots of emotion, and a surprising amount of world building. My one critique would be that the dog moved more like a horse than a dog at times

I want a full length series of this✨✨✨

I love this so much, the animation and the visuals, If this ever becomes a film in the far future, I'd definitely watch!

this looks AMAZING! its so peaceful and professional looking. like oh my word. you deserve so much attention

So sad it's the last one. After them, the world won't be as happy anymore!

The winged puppy looks like a pokemon

this is stunning!! the animation is so lively and smooth, the backgrounds are so pretty (they remind me of studio ghibli or the legend of louxiaohei), and the puppy is adorable. highly rewatchable!

This randomly popped up on my RU-vid feed and I'm so happy it did! This is so cute, and expressive! Lovely work 💕💕

this is so good! The animation is smooth and the colours are absolutely stunning

This is so incredibly well animated, and with such beautiful backgrounds as well!

This made me smile :) So heartwarming and the puppy is ADORABLE I'd love a whole series of this little character and a plushie too! 😍

PAULAISSLEEPY!!! CONTINUE TO POST CONTENT EVEN IF ONLY YEARLY, AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!!!!!!!

This is giving me Pokémon and Song of the Sea vibes and I love it

Great thesis film! I really like the choice of the color pallete here, wouldn't be alone to probably compare it a bit to Ghibli movies. Also i gotta express how I adore the details you did put into body language and facial expressions. Melancholy, curiosity, doubt, motivation, astonishment and then finally happiness. Even sprites themselves have a lot of going on, which makes the scene in 1:24 - 1:33 even more impactful. Makes the whole story feel even more charming. Body language and facial expressions are great story telling tool. They tell you a lot about the character, how they feel in regards of their surroundings and how they break from being afraid to leave a safe space of theirs to push their boundaries to explore something completely new. All movements are also very fluid, lots of work was put into making the animation feel alive. So again, great animation. Big thanks to you, the composer and everyone else that supported you along the way - all of that lead to this fantastic piece of art that I am sure many will appreciate. Wish you lots of luck for future endeavours!

Glad this was in my recommendations! The animation is so smooth and captures that magical old school era while still being modern, the style and palette were so nice to look at, and the music was absolutely delightful! It also hooked me in really quick and said so much even without dialogue, the emotions were so clear and vivid from the scenery to the expressions. This was very well-made and reminds me of why I love 2D animation so much!

the greens in your backgrounds are so vibrant and gorgeous it makes me tear up!!!! Wonderful film 🥲

the animation is so gorgeously fluid! not to mention that is one cute style

This was lovely to watch. I hope you get to make a fully animated movie out of this one day

This is the greatest thing to ever exist

I loved this tremendously. Pitch it as a feature film and make concept art for the future artists working on it.

Reminds me of Pokémon a bit (the design and artstyle) I love this

This is the most adorable and wholesome thing I've ever seen!

THE STYLE AND EVERYTHING I LOVE SM shoving it in my inpo folder its so well made, the little details and everything!

RU-vid as screamed at me for 3 days to watch this. I have now done it. I am free. Like a winged puppy.

She looks as if Lily from pokemon was a puppy. The backgrounds are very nice well done.

THIS IS SOOOO CUTE ARE YOU KIDDING ME

That was a great short film. Very well animated. Good job and keep up the good work!

I saw this at the thesis film showing, I absolutely loved it!

The character design of the puppy is so Kimba the White Lion! And I LOVE that!

i felt my heart soaring when the little guy flew!!! loved how happy the lil ghosties were that he was flying!

This is unbelievably fantastic.

THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL HOLY SHIT!!!!! THIS NEEDS MORE ATTENTION ITS SO PRETTY!!!!!

This short film was Awesome! It gives me Osamu Tezuka vibes! Wish it became a series.

A bowl of strawberries can get more views than an amazing animation? This needs WAY more attention! Literally some of the best animation I’ve seen!
