I love the strange absurdity with the whole concert hall disappearing. Both of them immediately agreeing that “it couldn’t have gone far”, printing “lost concert hall” posters, and then when it’s inexplicably out in the ocean, everyone is there like nothing even happened. And then the whole trip over the ocean to get there.
Right?? It's just fun to watch. You let down your guard and say "okay, this is happening" and it doesn't break the plot or make you ask too many questions. I just enjoyed every second. This is in my top 5 Gobelin shorts of all time because of the way it makes me feel
Thank you so much! We had lots of different versions of the story, but the absurdity has always been there. I'm glad to hear that people were able to let go of all logic but still follow and appreciate the story and the friendship.
@@theocarme ohh! I wish I could make a short like this; but my writing teacher keeps telling me it should have some sense or make things be explainable... This absurdity took as something normal would be so cool to use...
This feels like a dream that's super fun and happy
And the fact that after the concert hall disappears, she is more worried that she cannot preform her concert than an entire building disappearing before her eyes lolololol
I love how silly and vibrant this one was. The colors remind me of a cutscene you would see in a charming little indie game, I love it! I also like how she doesn't sing for the audience but they fully encourage her to do what she wants.
this got all the vibe like the rollerblade one amazing
Now that you mention it, this reminds me a lot of the indie game Celeste. This would be a cute premise for an indie game.
The audience is awesome they unquestionably support the person they came to see even though she won’t preform.
it reminds you of indie media because it's an indie media. no need to look very far
Rightttt
i feel like this is the kind of art style you'd normally see only in illustration form, so seeing it animated is really cool and i love the colors. the song is also banger
Thats the bestest way to put it ahaha
when the concert audience encouraged her, i just about cried actually 🥹
Actually, I expected them to ask what she likes singing, and sing along with her (and that green-clothed pest would bite off her papers in anger). But it was nice to see her running away
I love Mehdi so much, his shrimp(?) costume, his tube socks and flip flops, his goofy attitude, we all need a Mehdi in our life. This animation is so goofy, giving up your career to sing about dogs, I love it. Beautifully done, I love the dynamic between Erika and Mehdi, really fun, feels like they're really friends, especially how Mehdi persists on hearing the song. And as of course, it looks wonderful as well. Sometimes these short films are really deep, but this fresh little goofy one is so fun, I love it!!!
Thank you so much!!
I love him as a kid holding the shrimp drawing at the end!
I think it could be a lobster, I'm not sure
Just to conclude, these two reeally, really deserve an animated series on their own.
right?!🥹i totally grew attached to them and i cant stop rewatching this
This would be an amazing show!
👍
but much like 99% of other Gobelins final projects this is as far as it will ever go because the industry wants minimum wage animation sweatshop workers and squashes down any kind of out-of-line creativity, preventing them from ever getting the greenlight
It reminds me of bee and puppy cat because of the vibrant colors and the absurdity of the story. I would watch it
Maybe I’m looking too deep into it, but I LOVE how the music hall reappears when she finds her joy & love for singing again 🥹 & the fact it immediately disappeared when she lost her notebook, or the one thing that contained all her true love for music/singing. This is a really sweet message for all artists who sometimes lose their love or fulfillment in their passions. Creating & expressing yourself for YOU, & finding people who love your true authenticity! 💖 All love & applause to everyone in this project 🥰
I think that perfectly symbolizes the concert hall reappearance
Not too deep at all, I think this is perfect and is exactly how I was reading into it. It was just *so* well made! ♥
Its so sweet how the audience just said goodbye to her and wished her all the best so she could sing what she wants
Énorme, bravo l'équipe !
wtf mec ?
???? qu'est ce qu'il fait ici 😭😭😭😭
Merci ça fait trop plaisir !! On espère en faire une série
Merciii !! 🎆🦐💙
Salut Cyprien !! Merci beaucoup, on est super contents que ça te plaise !!!
no romance... just homeboys goofing off and singing about dogs... beautiful
Okay but can we appreciate how supportive her fans were when she decided she wanted to leave ❤
Trop content d’avoir doublé Medhi, merci à toute l’équipe ! Big love 🫶🏼🦐
Merci beaucoup Sami 🙇🏻♀️⭐️🦐
t'as donné vie au personnage, merci à toi !!!!
💙🦐💙
So cool!
Merci
This made me think of how even when you want to make a living out of your passion, you still care about money oriented goals (career, social fame, peers expectations..) but actually the only authentic art that you can produce is supposed to be genuine, not self-serving. I'm glad that Erika chooses to leave the concert room in the end.
4:31 Mehdi dancing with the bipedal dog after they found the concert hall makes me so happy I can't stop replaying it and smiling. Can't forget about all the dogs becoming bipedal and bowing with him at 4:12 either. He just makes me so happy. I love love love how illogical and absurd all of this is. Everything is treated like a casual everday occurrence. Adventure is always. The almost childlike wonder. It feels like Ghibli 💕
Congratulations to the brilliant team of young artists! This short film is an absolute blast with its beat, rhythm, and a kaleidoscope of colors that dance throughout the story. The characters are a burst of creativity and sheer loveliness. The attention to detail on the props is amazing! Well done!
Thank you so much Miki!
I loved this one so much. Mehdi is just so positive and optimistic and ridiculous. And his freestyle during the credits was actually so good! He and Erika are such a great duo. I couldn't help but smile!
This is exactly how I picture Kero Kero Bonito's universe, it was so sweet, congrats
Omg ! They were actually the reference for the little dog song ! You're the only comment I saw which mentionned them, I'm so glad you made the connection !! 💙🐶
Understanding French makes this 100000000000x better AND YES I AM FLEXING
I can understand like 0.0001% of it cause I understand kreyòl yes I am not maybe flexing
i can say people had a lot of fun making this and it was truly heartfelt, wonderful job ppl!!!!
Listen. Every year, I get hyped for these shorts. I love all of them. And this? This might be my favorite this round. It was so, so, so charming that it just made me all warm and fuzzy. Thank you to all the students making these. You bring a lot of joy into the world and that means something.
3:43 Mon petit chien Mon ami Ma chance Mon trèfle à quatre feuilles Mon phare dans la nuit Sans toi je ne vois plus que la pluie Tes petites pattes Sur le sable Ton empreinte disparaît dans les vagues
Merciiiiiii !!!
Incroyable !
La chanson ! Je l’adore !
J’ai adorée!! J’ai rarement vue une animation aussi originale! La palette de couleur est vraiment chouette,l’histoire est absurde ce qui fait tout son charme. Les chansons sont vraiment cool et des ref dans tous les sens. Du bon travail🤟🐚
THIS WAS 37 mins ago how is this comment 2 weeks old
@@Im_Britishwait, you're right!!!😨
Probably just a slight error.
it was broadcasted 2wk ago but it was unlisted i guess
Yep there was a mistake and the video was watchable publicly for a few hours before the official release 🤧
2:29 this shot is so ghibli to me. like the grass, the sky, the little town has me feeling some typa way
The camera moving at 1:51 following Erika's face was a really nice touch to give tridimensionality in a extremely 2D animation short 😄! Beside this, I really love this short, its story, and the final message: it feels like an homage to early 2000's anime for little girls (mainly Magical DoReMi) and Studio Ghibli's Ponyo with a refreshing take on lightnings, shadows, shapes and, obviously, colors - all so vibrant, warm and very summer-like 🏖.
Oh wow.. I think I've just found my favorite animation from gobelins students this year! I think I missed this type of storytelling a lot - the plot was straightforward but the meaning of chasing your dreams and not giving them up for something you don't want struck deep within me. The animation, the MUSIC and the songs... I just loved it all so much! Congratulations to the team who worked on this lovely piece, I wish them luck in their future endeavors!
Magnifique, c’est particulièrement bien réussît. Un bravo tout particulier aux personnes qui se sont occupées des décors qui nous emportent dans l’histoire. Entre Mario Sunshine et les slices of life épisode spécial summer, on peut vraiment apprécier ces scènes pleines de chaleur et d’enthousiasme. Vous nous inspirez, signé : a fellow animation student who hope to make something as beautiful someday
Merci ça fait super plaisir!
In a way, it’s like if a Rhythm Heaven game got a pilot episode! I love the silliness!
I’ve been in a depressive slump lately but watching this made me sooo happy you have no idea I loved everything about this video from the animation to the characters to the storyline and especially the music it resonated with everything I like. You did an amazing job with this project 🐚🦞!
I could literally keep on ranting I love that it’s set on the beach I love the the carefreeness of the story I love just the nostalgic happy feeling it gives you and the animation really ties it all together the sparkling eyes the funny faces I love all the details
It’s giving if steven universe and puppycat had a baby in Rhythm Heaven ~ I am absolutely obsessed!! The art style is so aesthetically pleasing and the music is catchy
I love the way her red life vest made her look a little like a lobster too! Lobster twins!
Aww this was so cute, I loved it! I love how the story is super illogical and dreamlike, it's more of a loose thread of themes, vibes, and fun moments with cute style and amazing animation.
i keep coming back to rewatch this short, it makes me so happy. 2 months ago, I lost my most precious light of life, my little doggie Mimi of 14 yrs. I sing "Mon Petite Chien" whenever I miss her. Congrats to the team who created the short and much love to the musician for the wonderful song.
This is ridiculously well done like I’m in awe. I would watch an entire series in this style so fast. Literally from the first scene I was immediately hooked. I looooooove how it’s so clearly inspired by early 2000’s anime and cartoons, it really hits that perfect nostalgic spot. Reminds me of being obsessed with shows like winx club and totally spies and princess jellyfish as a kid, but also reminds me of more modern shows and animes like miraculous and penguin highway and eve music videos. Just beyond excellent and now I’m depressed that it’s only 8 minutes long.
this, this is special. the art flows and attracts the eyes like nothing I've seen at least in a long time, the freeing vibe of it all and the sweetest characters! i hope this continues to grow in views
A push from a trusted loved one is sometimes all you need to start believing 🎀
i would watch a whole MOVIE about them! i love it.
I love how the crawfish man went "It couldn't habe gone far. Let's look for it." As if it didn't just evaporate before his eyes.
“get yourself a man that can be your surf board” -My French Teacher
I've watched this so many times now. I love love love how unapologetically absurd it is and so full of heart
I would pay to watch a whole series about these two. My favorite part is when she asks him if he floats 🤣🤣🤣
I would love a miniseries of this!
I AM SO WEAK FOR UNADULTERATED SHOWS OF JOY AND LOVE AND THIS ANIMATED PROJECT IS JUST SO FULL OF IT
I love the energy that goes behind these projects! Audibly laughed when I saw Erika used Mehdi as a surfboard lmao
This artstyle reminds me of bee and puppy cat, also the script is fantastic, keep up the good work❤❤❤
I WISH LIFE WAS THIS COLOURFUL!!!! I love this short sooooo much.
i have so much to say about this! the color palette here is so refreshing to look at. the style is so unique and silly, and the characters are so well made here! i enjoyed this a lot and i wished there’d be a whole series about this!!!!! kudos to the team who made this!!
bro how did i become attached to these two in 7 minutes.
bro this song is such a BANGER this film is such a good vibe in general omg 😭
i long to see the process behind this, it’s absolutely beautiful. so visually appealing. the dialogue, the singing, and his freestyle at the end?!?! amazing. i want to do something this great one day.
This is probably one of the best animated projects I’ve seen in god knows how long, the style and music is so nostalgic of a childhood show that I never watched aha. what I would give to see them explore this wonderful little world in a series
Erika: “The concert hall won’t reappear on it’s own!” The concert hall:
Tout au long de ce court métrage, un sourire s’affichait sur notre visage. Alors même que cela peut-être pour les personnes en bas-âge, petits et grands sont entraînés avec les personnages. Cela donne envie de voyage, de musique, de prendre comme Erika le large, A toute l’équipe: merci et bon courage !
AAAAAAAHHHHHHH I'm screaming, this is so cute and i adore the dog song. Omg omg omg. As an art student this is so inspiring to me, not only because the animation is gorgeous but also because Erika finding her love for singing and making her own decisions at the end of the story is such a personal matter that a lot of people are able to resonate with. Not to mention that i love the French language and that the voice actors have lovely voices. This is beautiful.
I adore the “puppy love” theme with the shrimp surrounding such a sweet and simple song about a girl and her dog
THIS NEEDS TO BE A SERIES!! 👏 👏 👏
i would kill for a full season of them traveling and performing ;-; so good
the end always makes me want 2 cry i love this so much
if this was a show, it would be my favorite thing 😭😭the visual, the music, THE SONGS !! the art style, the characters, story, absurdity, everything i love. already so attached to erika that the fan in the audience that wished her goodbye made me cry. this is perfect !!!!!!!!
this is my new comfort video
sameee I keep coming back to it
THIS IS SO GOOD I LOVE ALL OF IT THE SONG CHOICES, THE VOICE ACTORS, THE ANIMATION AND SOUND EFFECTS, ESPECIALLY IN FRENCH WHAT?!!!?? ESPECIALLY SO BEAUTIFULLY ANIMATED???
J'adore ! L'histoire on dirait moi quand je jouais aux playmobiles, ça a cette absurdité enfantine dans l'enchainement des idées qui réconforte et parle à tout le monde plus que ça ne les perd ! L'ambiance rappelle beaucoup Rhythm tengoku, c'est trop stylé ça aussi
I love this story. The art style is literally the CUTEST!! Art envy! The song and music is amazing and the message is also nice and something artist need to be reminded of. Your art doesn’t always have to be for an audience or other people
I love this. It’s like the graduates worked hard to become great artists, but they were always held back because they created and worked on assignments college required them to.. But now they have the skills, the power and influence to create whatever they want,, just the main character!!! I wish them well!
erika is so pretty
l'impro de Medhi à la fin: banger absolu. on veut le son sur spotify!
i can't even put into words how much I love this. Oh my god. This is going to sound so dramatic but it's true, I have been looking and yearning for my eyes to lay sight onto something like this. I have so many feelings and thoughts in my heart and brain and a specific one that has yet to be brought to life by anyone. But this video satisfied that yearning. It had the same look and feel as to what I have been envisioning in my head for so long. I just wish there could be more of this like a show that I can hyper fixate over for longer and just wrap my entire being into.
absolutely amazing!!! my favourite work from this channel ever! loved the ocean theme, the music, the colours, the style was fantastic!! such a fresh and good blend of all kinds of illustrated cartoon/manga/animation styles!! loved the humour in the art, the plot, the characters, the music sequences! i loved this so much, by the end of it i was smiling wide :) such a perfect ending, i've grown to love these characters in just 7 minutes, which usually never happens to me in other films from gobelins!! amazing work! life can be great if you're true to yourself and friendship is the key!!! fantastic
Thank you so much !!
I came here via Spotify. Cool song!
What a happy and fun (and funNY!) animation. She essentially said, If I can't do what I want here, then I'll go somewhere else. Go off, queen. 👸
beautiful! like a lucid dream. I was in tears when they run off out onto the water to fulfill thier dreams!
J'ai vraiment eu l'impression que c'était le scénario d'un rêve ! Avec la scène juste qui se barre, et qui revient, et puis finalement ça change rien tous les spectateurs sont là... C'est dur à décrire haha Trop bien en tout cas :)
j'ai trop cru qu'a la fin ça allait devenir bad triste 😭 (par contre la musique je l'aime beaucoup trop vraiment)
This was such a cute and charming movie, I absolutely adored it! The first time I saw it when it was introduced by Catsuka I was captured but how charming the art style was and knew I would love it. Now having actually watched it, it exceeded my expectations! Such a lovely movie..so vibrant and full of love! The art, animation, colors, character designs, world, story, voice acting, and songs, I can’t stress enough how well it was done! I loved this so much!! Ahh gosh the art style was really soso cute and charming, it just gives so much vibes
Ive watched this animated short like around 10 times right now and it gets better. I love the songs, the art style and the wholesome message it brings. This is my comfort video. I love it. ❤️🐚🦐
Guy was in the Lobster costume the whole time. Absolute dedication to his craft.
Non mais c’est incroyable purée , les musiques ,l’animation ,les décors , l’ambiance ,les personnages. Je pleure sur le poulet tellement c’est magnifique
I learned a valuable lesson today. If you feel like running away instead of doing your job, just do it!
OMG JAI TROP AIME WOW FAITES EN UN FILM !!!!!! JIRAIS LE VOIIIIR AVEC TOUT LES GENS QUE JE CONNAIS OHMOGMGOGMHM JAIME TROP 😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻SORTEZ LA CHANSON AUSSI !!! JAI ADORÉEEE LOVE UUU
that was really sweet, a delight to watch. great work!
I love this so much, the shots of the city are gorgeous! ! Ghibli vibes
I LOVE mehdi and Erika, they have the best dynamics! This deserves its own show to be honest
It has been a long while since an animation has moved me this much! I loved it so much, the animation is just fantastic, the music wraps around you like a warm hug. I am not lying when I say last time I enjoyed a short film this much was 2018. I love animation, I'm constantly watching new shorts and student films, but for whatever reason, this won my heart. And I thank you for that.
Waaaa c'etais génial et super good vibes, les ambiances coloré sont magnifiques. J'ai passé un super moment j'espère avoir un jour le niveau de sortir, des courts métrage aussi cool, bravo à toute l'équipe 👍👍🦐
I think the animator had fun with this one. 😄Simple and sweet. This was refreshing!
The song is a jam!! 🤘
Obsessed! I've seen this so many times now!!! Mon petite chien!!! The song is stuck in my head! Beautiful animation, gorgeous aesthetic, adorable wholesome characters. The little old lady and the 3 dogs really cute!!! Thank uuu ♡
this short film makes me so happy
This is one of the sweetest shortfilms I've ever seen
j’adore j’en veux un autre c’est incroyable !!
i really really loved this one. so charmed by the interactions and erika's sense of charm. the music is also lovely, fun, and has this great atmopshere and pacing that carries me along
I CRIED THIS IS BEAUTIFUL AND I HAD SO MUCH FUN WATCHING IT
easily one of my fav animations from this year's talented students! I loved the sweet and innocent vibe, as well as the use of sound, details and characters ❤
i'm cryinng for how cute this film is~ i love the character designs, and erika surfing on mehdi was hilarious XDD
Wow c'était trop génial !!!!!! Les couleurs et le paysage étaient trop cooooool et vibrantes et douces pour les yeux mamma mia !!! J'ai des élèves qui bossent sur les émotions je vais leur conseiller de regarder ça c'est super facile à comprendre en plus !! 💖💖😄😄😄😻
Actually obsessed with this 😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is so cute and lovely ❤ great job everyone!
Sooo SOO soo lovely. What a wonderful journey I’ve gon on by watching this! The colors really bring life and hope into this piece, the painted backgrounds are beautiful. It particularly reminds me of playing Pokémon as a kid and anything feels possible, the world is boundless! I love Erika and the shrimp man, they will hold a special place in my heart. GREAT JOB, WELL DONE!!!!!!
Oooooh mais j’adore c’est trop mimi😭😭😭😭
This has to be one of my favorite gobelins films.. I love the colors and character designs!!
I absolutely love this one!!! the colors?!! music!!??? character design!!!??? all of it is just marvelous
i really like that you can hear the smile in her singing :-)
