Wolf Children - Married Life 

I've been getting a lot of questions about this, so here's the answer. The movie is called "Wolf Children" as it literally says in the title of this video, and the song is called "Married Life" from the Pixar movie Up. You can find Wolf Children on Amazon: www.amazon.com/Wolf-Children-Colleen-Clinkenbeard/dp/B00ENNO1E6/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2MAIVM7NKUVKG&keywords=wolf+children&qid=1659804162&sprefix=wolf+childre%2Caps%2C225&sr=8-3

(Hears Up theme song) You son of a-

And it sucks even more that they never have a picture of him. Just his driver's license and she cherishes that so dearly it hurts.😭😭😭

the worst part was how he died. in the middle of the street and then just dumped in a garbage truck, because nobody knew he was human. hana couldnt even claim him as her husband. it was really one of the saddest deaths i had ever seen.

The way he runs to her and swings her around after he finds out he’s gonna be a dad hits me SO hard :((

This woman not only raise two wolves but also remodelled a house and got into farming. Like wuhhhh.

God how I wished he didn't die. This could've just been a wholesome film about family and I'd be happy with that. Now all I got is tears and pain.

Hana is literally mother of the year. First her husband died then she became a single mother to not one but two half human half wolf kids someone please give this women a trophy

Y’all!!! Remember when one of her kids were sick and she didn’t know if she should go to the vet or children hospital. And that’s on stress

The whole time I watched this movie I couldn't help but feel sorry for the mom. She loses her husband while she has two little children and has to raise and take care of them all on her own. Then one leaves to live as a wolf in the forest. Must be so hard for her, the amount of dedication and patience she has is inspiring.

her husband dying and her son leaving, that takes a lot of acceptance, she's one hell of a character. so strong ;(

My mom raised me and my sister alone. She was alone but never missed anything. We went for walks, picnics and trips. We weren't wolves but my sister did eat books

Imagine having the struggles of being single parent to not just toddlers, but toddlers combined with the struggle of puppies. This woman has the patience of a saint

Her children: *messing up the entire house, not to mention them being wolf children* Hana: This is fine

I love how when I watched this movie with my mom, she didn't seem at all upset with the ending. She didn't say that either kid seemed ungrateful. I had read so many comments of ppl saying that the kids left her behind or took her for granted, but when I brought up the movie again to my mom, she went "Her son is king of the forest so now she can roam the forest freely because her son will protect her" and I thought that was just so wholesome. I also noticed that, when Hana says to Ame "I haven't done anything for you", then Ame runs back into the forest and howls, that's his way of saying that she helped him become his own person and that he's grateful for all the sacrifice she's done for him. Hana understood that, which is why she smiles. Both kids are grateful in the end. I mean just imagine them in vacations together roaming the forest and running around and having fun. Sure, now they're all on their own, but that doesn't mean they completely left each other and I think that's what the movie implies.

Man she build different. I'm not talking about her talent or body proportions, but it's about her heart.

watching this movie hurt me so bad because both of her kids left her to go do their passions and her wolfi husbando dIED AND I CANT AAAAAA

Hanna is so strong. It’s hard enough being a single mother but being a single mother to TWO wolf children really young with no one to help. Now that’s a mother

The fact that she didn’t even had the time to grieve over her husband’s death and just be “i’ll take care of them” 😭😭

I couldn’t imagine the pain of a mother when her children grow up and she has to let them go.

fuCK THIS MOVIE ALWAYS MAKES ME CRY

There was an excellent phrase that I read in a book called Wings of Fire, I think it's APJ Abdul Kalam's autobiography: "Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts, for they have their own thoughts." I think this movie sums it up perfectly.

I will never stop watching Wolf Children even if depression kills me, Hana deserves all the good things

I just realised When Hana hugs her husband after he finds out she's pregnant, he's holding a canned peach The fruit Ame returns to give Hana at the end of the official Wolf Children Manga is a peach, as a symbol of motherhood that she puts on her husbands altar My heart has melted, i am deceased

I know the ending is supposed to be "shes content with her children being happy" but like this movie depressed the hell out of me. I can't exactly find a happy ending where her husband is dead and her children have already left her at early ages.

The university Hana goes to is the third smartest university in Japan.　　She is smart and powerful.

Just realized that the mom from wolf children used to be the iconic 24/7 lofi hip hop chill beats to study/relax to radio...shook

花さんの体力とメンタルの強さにビビる映画

One of my friends was like "there's a furry anime you should watch lol." She didn't mention I'd cry several times while watching it. :') Jesus, what a sad movie idk what the creators were thinking, but they made a masterpiece.

I love this movie especially the part where she met him again when she fell from that cliff, and she's telling him how tired she is. 😢

I sincerly can't handle that scene with the father/husband dying. It just breaks my heart. He goes out to help his family and then dies, gets treated like literal garbage and Hana doesn't even get to say goodbye. ;-;

This really bring back memories. At first, I didn't believe the wolf's death, until the next scenes are being played. The mother's son looks really the same of her husband and I'm really proud of the her being a single mother.

カールじいさんと空飛ぶ家の曲だから、カールじいさんの夫婦のシーン思い出しちゃう。あの2人も素敵な夫婦だったな〜って

Doesn’t anyone is sad because she only has her husband’s ID card photo when he died? It just struck onto me suddenly...but he left her with two precious children

Hope the children visit their mother once in a while. She doesn't deserve to be left alone

今まで生きてきた中でもトップレベルで好きな映画 一つ一つを鮮明に覚えてる

I'm so grateful for the villagers too, they are so kind to hana and the kids😭 This manga ending is so wholesome😭 And yuki writes her mother letters from her dormitory asking her about her and ame's wellbeing. The kids not ungrateful or left their mother alone, they find their own path and live it up just like what hana been promising when the kids were little. To raise them and let them be what they want to be just as described on chapter 1 when she dream of her husband😭 Don't say bad stuffs about the kids you illiterate people😭 I mean those rude people that been complaining about kids leaving hana alone to go to school and taking care of the forest.

Are they seriously playing that song from up? NOOOOOOOO

When I took my 2-year 1/2 old son to the cinema to watch this movie in September 2012, I hadn't watched any trailer or anything so I really didn't know what to expect. All I knew was that we were going through a hard time and I literally welcomed any excuse to escape reality. So when the husband died and my son whispered "Is he dead?" with a worried look on his face, that was too much. My husband had committed suicide two weeks before and I needed something to take my mind off things, not a cruel reminder of what had just happened. I hated myself for imposing this to my son. I should have read a synopsis. I offered him to leave but he said he liked the movie and insisted on staying. And I'm glad he did. You have no idea how much this movie helped me at that time of my life. It was actually just what I needed to watch. I was so scared of the future. I was so scared not being able to raise my son on my own. Hana is so brave and never gives up, and she inspired me so much. I left the cinema thinking "Keep your chin up. You can do this. And instead of crying over what you have lost, be happy with what you have". I owe this movie so much… This movie is also a beautiful metaphor of what being a parent should be: while always doing your best to raise your children, you have to keep in mind that they don't "belong" to you. You raise them so that one day, they are old enough to make their own choices and even if those are not the choices you would have hoped for, if that's what makes them happy, you'll have to respect that and let them stand on their own two feet. That being said, my son is nearly 10 now and I'm not in a hurry to see him "try his own wings"... We've been living on our own for the last seven years and our bond is really strong, but he knows that whatever the choices he'll make in his life (career, hobbies, religion, sexual orientation… whatever!), I'll always be there for him and will always support him. Anyway, I talk too much, sorry. Thank you for that beautiful video. The choice of song is really spot on and it surely strikes a chord…

この4分10秒に全てが詰められてる…本当にこの作品は何回みても感動だよなー、

カールじいさんの曲とすごいマッチしてる 花ちゃんが常に前向きで、子供達も色々葛藤しながら自分生きる道を決めて歩み始めて、私も強く生きなきゃって思う映画

I feel bad for the mother. 😭😭 She was an ordinary high school student then she met "him." Despite the financial problems they decided to get married. They were so happy. Then she became pregnant and they instantly became parents. But the father suddenly have to die and leave his family making the mother to take care of their children all alone. Struggling to survive, she tried her best to be a good mother. After growing up, her children found their passion and decides to part with their mother. After all that sacrifice, her youth being taken away, she ended up alone, but satisfied. 😢

You have to love hana. When she was looking at his drivers license, she wanted to have a breakdown. Until she realised she needed to stay strong for the kids, she knew thats what he would've wanted. So everyday she gave her all to raise the kids well, I JUST LOVE HER SO MUCH SHE DESERVES SO MUCH MORE. I hope she see's him in heaven, 😔

I watched this years ago and just as I thought I was ok I saw how the son walking away looked like her husband in the meadow dream and I started sobbing. She deserves the world 😭

I still remember watching the movie when I was like 11 and cried while my mother made lunch. It‘s a really beautiful movie, gotta watch it again.

I've only watched this movie once, many years ago. I refuse to watch it a second time because I don't think my heart can take it.

Warning do not watch on your period floods of tears may drown you

The ending brought me to tears. (Spoiler below) Ame leaves and embraces his being of a wolf. Yuki leaves their home for boarding school. The mom is left at home. She looks at her husband's ID picture and she gazes outside their house and hears his son's howl from the mountains and smiles happily. This is something we all get to experience in life. Children eventually growing up and moving away from their parents for their dreams. We should all cherish every moment we have with our family.

My definition of life: "Empty hole without sense". But after watching this video so humanly i think that a simple life is not all that bad. i was really touched by this video.😢

They’re the anime version of Carl and Ellie. Hana is a female version of Carl and the wolf man is the male version of Ellie. 😭😭😭😭😭

Imagine she can't claim him as her husband when he died in the middle of the street, then being a single parent to 2 half human, half wolf kids.

HOLY SHIT SHE'S THE PERSON THATS BEEN DOING HER HOMEWORK CONSECUTIVELY FOR 9 YEARS AND COUNTING

映画の中でおおかみこどもの雨と雪が1番好き

Who else immediately wanted to watch this movie again once they saw this?

I don't know if anyone will read this but this movie really means a lot to me,because the story is similar to what happened to my mom me and my brother,when I was 8 my dad died because of cancer my little brother was 3 at the time,because of private reason we had to move to Germany I had to learn German and mom had to raise us both alone. Whenever I watch it I have to think about my life and how hard it is for my mom (she also is borderline and has depression so it's even harder for her) I love her a lot 💕 I don't think anybody will read this but yeahhh

悲しくなるシーンで音楽も悲しく変わっていって、心が曇っていく感じがよく伝わって忘れられない曲。

This woman is the definition of a strong mother ❤️ one of the best moms in animeverse.

This is dedicated to all those amazing single parents out there, single moms AND single dad, who have gone through, or are going through that struggle of raising one or more kids on their own! You are the real heroes! much love to you all

お父さんが亡くなっていなかったら、四人で笑顔の絶えない仲の睦まじい家族だったんだろうなぁ…

I've seen wolf children probably 8 times, and everytime it has touched me in such a deep meaningful way. Hana and the children do have to overcome osvtacles but above all else she was a good loving mother, she never complained and never gave up on them. She had to come to terms early that her children were leaving her, and to see her so content and fulfilled with that future is bittersweet.

To me, the wolves represent hereditary mental illness or disability. The wolf man represents someone with a mental illness or a form of disability. He hides it in public but he shows it to Hana in their most intimate moments together because he trusts her. When he died, he was disposed of, because people with mental illnesses/disabilities have always been treated worse than their neurodivergent/abled counterparts. Ame and Yuki both inherited their father's illness/disability, and thus struggle to cope with it. Hana tries her best to keep her children safe from a judgemental society. This is just my interpretation. If anyone has better ones, feel free to correct me!

こんな優しくて可愛いくて火の打ちどころが無いようなお母さんが 最終的に夫も子どももなくすんでしょう？でも笑顔で受け入れるんでしょ？なんかもう素敵だけど辛い

おおかみこどもの雨と雪って本当、強く生きていこうって思える映画だよな

テレビで流れてたから3回くらい見た事あるけど、全部泣いた。

小さな頃から何度も見てた、本当に大好きな映画です。 このたった4分で涙を流してしまいました。笑

ラストのお母さんの「しっかり生きてっ！」てセリフんとこでもう涙腺がやばかったんだわ

I was raised by a single father after my mom committed suicide, whenever I see Hana I only think about the hardships my father had to go through raising a daughter on his own.He never expects anything from me, he just loves me unconditionally and wants me to live my life the way I want. He is the best gift of my life.

This movies is timeless. It never gets old for me. Plus I love the character growth though the whole thing! What a masterpiece ❤️

this film made me appreciate my mother so much. after my abusive dad left and my stepdad died, she was left to raise five children alone. i don't know how she did it but i'm so happy she did :,)

この映画ほんとに泣いた… 1人で育てんのはやっぱ大変やけど、狼と人間の子供やからもっと大変やのにすごいな

*Me, seeing the title* : This better not be what I think it is... *Me, seconds after clicking the video, tears in my eyes* : god damn it.....

I never cried as much during a movie as I did while watching this masterpiece of an anime. The beautiful, scenery, the music, the story,... It all just comes together to create this brilliant bundle of sweet sadness that this movie represents😢❤️

I cried so hard watching this movie and even set their family pictures as my wallpapers on my laptop, tablet, smartphone. The ending brings such nostalgic longing feeling.

生きていた頃のお父さん可愛い......

I can’t believe that a single mother raised her two children all by herself. Not many can go through that, like how do they do it???

I remember when I first saw this movie with my dad after not being able to see him after 9 years. we went to his house and this was the first movie we ever watched together. I’ve been trying to find this movie for the longest time as I couldn’t remember cause I was still a little kid but I remember every little detail from the movie just not the name I am very thankful I just came across this video you brought back so many memories. When I saw this video all I could think about is how my dad was talking about it so much and said it was the best movie he ever saw and after I watched it with him I couldn’t agree more now that I can’t see my dad this is the best memory with him.

This is such a heartwarming movie. It had me crying with tears of sorrow and joy. All throughout the movie I admired her spirit and wished I could have been there to help her.

子供の頃ほんとに色んなDVD借りてたけどおおかみ子供の雪と雨はなんかすごい覚えてる

I've never seen two animated characters have so much chemistry together, like that scene where he runs to her and spins her around warms my heart so much 😭

I don't know but I never meet someone like Hana. It would never tho. She's just pure inside outside! She's definitely just fiction character, no one in real life can be like her. She always try her best for her children and love his husband unconditionally. She doesn't even think about hating or disappointed 😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️ truly angel!!!

Yeah i came back to this, wolf children is such a masterpiece possibly my most favorite movie of all time seriously i could never get tired of it i loved it so much i eventually bought the manga and its still as good as ever. 12/10 well done.

ほんと理想と憧れの夫婦だった

wait i wasn’t mentally prepared for that 😭❤️

When you look closely at his driver license. The wolf man's last name is Iga. Thus Hana Iga, Ame, Higa and Yuki Higa. His first name is partially visible, but his first name we cannot be too sure of (his name was never oficially given and in the credits he was named "wolf man". They first live in an appartment in a non real part of Tokyo. But after that Hana and the kids move to the countryside in Toyama prefecture. Specifically in the mountains near Kamiichi. (you can use google maps to find it).

I've watch this three years ago... And I'm very young when i watched it, i cried at a sudden realization that even life give you happiness, it will give you tears and pain afterwards.

Me *sobbing*: let's just think that he went off for college🥺😭😭

Damn u for playing the universal song that emits feels, u smart bastard

OH GOD this short clip brings back so many sad memories I had when I watched this year ago. Its amazing but damm I cried so much too 😢

seriously, this story is amazing and extremly sad at the same time, wow. Just wow, truely amazing story! I recommend anyone to watch this!

I always find it so cute when he runs to Hana and spins her around upon finding out shes pregnant. He was so excited to be a dad... At least he got to see both his children even if he wont see them grow up

小学3年生のときに観て以来、世界で一番好きな映画です。曲と映像、当時映画館で見た記憶、全てが合わさって涙が溢れました。😢 雨も雪も今頃は大人になって、どんな人と、動物と出会って、傷付いたり幸せを感じたりしているかな。

This movie was just so wholesome. I'm comforted now by the comment section because I thought I was crazy for bursting into tears when her husband died. He hadn't really done much in the movie, so when he died I just broke down. Hana is awesome.

何回も観たいけど 泣けるのが分かってるから、観るの躊躇する😂

The moment when he died without switching back to human got me crying like a mess

Why would you make this even sadder by putting the ‘Up’ theme 😢

She was nothing but an amazing and diligent mother who raised two strong and energetic children. Absolutely nothing but pure respect for this character.

i think this was the first anime movie i watched when i started understanding things and when i tell you, this gave me so much heartbreak and love at the same time, i love it ❤️✨

このお母さんほんとに優しすぎ

*room floods with my tears* I'm not crying.

I know this movie exists, still haven't gotten around to watching it yet. This randomly came up on my recommendations. Tbh, at this point, this might be my favourite video on RU-vid, I can't stop replaying it and I already love this movie, couldn't stop tearing up throughout the video.
