Horror Short Film “La Noria” | ALTER
/ watchalter
"Monsters are born from our darker thoughts. Our fears, our anger, our pain. so it only makes sense that they are the most empathetic creatures."
Tad Dad that is so deep I’m drowning.
What if demons have feelings What if scps had feelings🗿
@@ceciliatavarez5655 kinda idiotic yet fitting you say that given the nature of the foundation, but not all scps are like 173, 096 and are completely horrifying. Cain, Iris, all of the Bright family and Sam Howell being prime examples of just being anomalous people (though i don't know if you can count Sam anymore) you could just be joking, i get that, but my OCD makes me do this.
Tad Dad "...well said..."
Who said this!?
When you are so depressed even your inner demons try to help.
No.
Evony Angel Not what the metaphor was
@@God-bz1jr yes.
Sometimes outside help isnt enough. You gotta look deep inside yourself, passed the demons, and help yourself to get better.
VIiIiIiIiIiIiIiBEEE CHEeeCK!
The complexity of this short film is absolutely insane. The amount of effort they put in to craft such a masterpiece is incommensurable. They really showcased the grief, anxiety, depression, and fears of the kid within all the monsters. The lesson as play is that to overcome ones fears they must first accept them. Marvelous. The kid was scared of the monsters, but to get past them, he must work with them.
hey joe
good joe big boy words
I agree
Hi Joe
love you joe
I lost my father a few months ago… lost him too early.. the way grief is depicted as this monstrous thing but at the end it’s the thing that shows you what a beautiful life you had together is just poetic and perfect. Thank you for making this
May god bless you
God may be with you whenever you Go, stay strong ❤
It's not easy to find peace and meaning in grief. Kudos to you, and may you find peace in your own time.
May you find comfort in Lord Jesus, and may you be reunited one day in Heaven. Amen.
This isn't a horror movie, this is an emotional roller-coaster.
So true!!!

The short Film beautifully captures what grief is like. At first the loss of someone eats you up with anger and sadness and all of the emotions that rip you apart, but then you get over over the loss of this loved one and instead you start celebrating their life and all the happy memories that came with them. This is when you finally come to terms with their death, yes the pain, the monsters are still there, but you have come to accept it and learn to look at the brighter side of things.
This was freaking AMAZING!! I love Horror, but I love Animation a lot more. I'm sharing this one on my social media. Thank you so much for another amazing film. Check out my Christmas Horror film I just released 2 weeks ago kzhead.info/sun/jZuce7VuaXpug5s/bejne.html
i agree. my grandpa died last year and we all took it super hard. but then we remebered all the memories we made with him and we felt happy.
Wow! This interpretation totally makes sense. Thank you!
Beautifully put, and so true. This time of year contains so many happy memories of my parents...The pangs are still there even after so many years--but the joy of having them outweighs the grief of their loss...
Beautiful - 3 years ago my dad died. Still grieving and today is his birthday. Beautiful film. Thank you.
This was amazing. The monsters themselves being represented as grief and fear after a loved one dies. We try to ignore and run away from our feelings. But the intensity of these emotions is meant to show how much we loved them. How beautiful the memories that we made with them are. Even though our time with them may have ended, the time we did have was beautiful.
This hit way harder than I expected. Just. Clenched teeth, tears streaming down my face, an ache deep in my chest and a bubble in my throat. And I’m not even sure why. It’s like this film just reached inside of me and unlocked a space in my heart I didn’t know was there
Who else liked the monsters in the end and didn’t want them to disappear
Me
i wantred him to hug them or something
At first I was like ''ARGHH! RUN RUN RUN!'' and ''KILL IT!!!! KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!!'' But then at the end, I was like ''Awwww you guys are so sweet'' then ''Aww don't go yet...'' Great work ^^
Me too I wanted to be in there to hug them

Accepting grief is really the only way to ever move forward. But especially with a story like this it iunbelievably hard. Not only because he is so young, but because of the uncertaint that you can have in situations like this. Sometimes soldiers are never found. But even if they are, sometimes there is no body to bury, That makes it so abstract, so unclear, so much harder to say goodbye and it prevents us from moving forward with our lifes.
SPOILER Summary: The kid's father promised they would finish building the Ferris Wheel(La Noria) when he returned form the war. His father died in the war and never returned, and the little kid was left to grieve his father's death, with the ferris wheel constantly reminding him of the broken promise. The Fish-like monster with the hole in its chest may be a representation of the hole in the boy's heart left by his father's death, or how the father might've died.
Machintoshhater how did u get that he died from a war not second guessing you just curious
Doggo TheMemer the letter.
Omg it all makes sense now I mean I understood it but it's like when you understand but at the same time is like whaaa and end up crying ounce you're told the meaning like I am right now😑😭😭😭
Wow
Thank you!
This is soo good. Who ever animated this needs a promotion
Carlos Baena and his incredible team of animators worked wonders with this story. We're honored to be able to present it to you all!
@@WatchALTER Thank you for it.
Agreed ... the animation is top notch..... great work.
So real..
🉑
A revelation of how our tragic past can turn into something magical. The film shows how the monsters (hunting past) chase about the child in every room of the house where he and his father had memories, at first it had a vibe of thrill and horror because this is how we feel when we keep on running away from our unresolved hurts. Finally, come to a point where we can no longer contain it then we just burst out, hence the scream, and surrender to accept what had happened, from there we can create an exceptional and magical work of art that is where the monsters or our past ceases to hunt us.
This is quite possibly the most gorgeous art I have ever seen. Absolutely blown away by the animation. The light, the colours, the textures, the fluid movement of the characters. Not to even mention the story it all brings to life. This is stunning in every way.
Let's be honest here, the animation is better than Disney.
cough cough yea cough cough
And, it had a really wholesome ending! Win-Win!
Eh..... Yeah I still like Disney animation but this one is fluent
RainyRikiya - IF People were going to be honest, they would more than likely say, that they did a good job with their short film. However, Disney has amazing productions, and animations, and do a Great job. That is why He has made the name for himself he has, and now the company 😃
because it is disney O-O sorta
Okay. I legit teared up watching this. The atmosphere, the silent storytelling, the ENDING. The design of the monsters, frightening and ugly. But when you stop for a second, you realize they look... pitiable. Anger, grief, sorrow, pain. These are all UGLY emotions. It hurts to touch, like all the spikes poking from them. They feel twisted and loathsome inside you. They're scary to have. But they are human emotions, and the most empathetic of them. The demons tearing apart the house, and the boy's reminders of his father, only to put them back together in a new, beautiful shape... there must be an easier way to explain it, but like, broken things can still be beautiful. Or beautiful things can still be made from broke things. I don't know. But this was SO BEAUTIFUL!
YOu explained this so well.
Your wording is beautiful
Lmao I don't know what to say but this so good to explain ヾ(´▽｀;)ゝ
DirgeOfCerberus111* The story shows a lil boy that lost his father... Maybe in a war.. Due to the Teddy Bear in the beginning wearing a 'Soldier Hat... The Boy is only stuck of memories of his father.. His father had an unfinished project (Fairest Wheel).. The boy cant seem to finish completing what his father and him worked on.. He battles his emotional demons... Sad, Sorrow, Anger, Depression, Regrets, Giving up... But his own demons help him battle it out... They allowed him to see the light in it all.. The end with the finished project... 😞 Completion and Closure 🙏
Beutiful things being made from broken things is what makes me think of true harmony, hope and great meang. Make give this world a purpose. This relaxation made me... cry
this is not a horror short film, this is a sad short film
This makes me feel like the little boy I don't have a father to make things with and I've been left with demons of my past , it's so beautiful that this exists
When you click on it because you're expecting a scary movie, but find yourself crying at the end because it's just too damn real and hits so close to home . . .
Omg yes. This is making me teary eyed like I might cry this was just so cool and emotional..
Yeah, and that's great, as I think.
How does this hit close to home? Not trying to troll or be mean but just asking.
@@vanceunpingco7767 Actually asking? If so, then its a simple answer. It hits close to home because people die, like parents and friends and family... And at first the pain makes us angry or scared.. Sometimes depressed. But then the pain becomes faded and the happy memories left bring us joy. Being able to remember the good times makes all the sadness and hurt go away. It hits close to home because we all know the feeling of losing someone but still being happy to think of them. Edit: "actually asking?" wasn't meant to sound rude! I just didn't know if they were actually asking or if it was rhetorical!
JericoTheKiller thanks for the explanation.
They weren't tearing apart his possessions, they were acquiring the pieces to mend his broken heart.. 😢😭😭😭
na they just wanted to go on the ferris wheel
sizlax that was gud lamp tho
that would mean, monsters are our most close friends in time of loneliness. We could listen to them and be one with them. To finish being whole again !
@@deathtwinky7161 Think I'm going in that direction...
I Just Realised That Because I Watched It All The Way And- 😭 What Happened To His Parents Though?
I went into this expecting a horror piece, and I left in tears. Holy cow, what a beautiful work of art. The visuals, the sound design, the story. Fantastic.
I went into this expecting a regular horror short, and ended up absolutely bawling my eyes out. This hit me really close to home, as I've lost a few very important people in my life, and seeing it portrayed so perfectly really makes me happy, but man I didn't realize I needed this until now. Thank you for this, it was beautiful, and I really needed it.

Если бы это был хоррор, я бы чувствовала просто страх, а не такую палитру эмоций. Это не просто хоррор. Страх, а когда приходит понимание, щемящая душу тоска. Такая короткая, но такая сильная и метафоричная анимация, спасибо.
YOU CAN NOT TELL ME THAT THIS ISN'T SOME OF THE BEST ANIMATION YOU'VE EVER SEEN!

I honestly don't know how many times I have watched this one, bit it is si good that it just keeps getting better each time i see it
Ikr
Exactly!
I loved how the monsters represented all of the kid's fears and anxieties, but once he learned to let go of the grief of his dad's death, the disappeared and turned into the wonder and newfound happiness in his life props to everyone who made this
Exactly.
I agree
I don't know whether this movie is about letting go of the grief. 🤔 Grief itself is not bad, but when you allow it to overwhelm your thoughts and feelings, it becomes a monster. I still grief of my own dad's death (21 years ago), but I learned to live with it and remember him with a smile on my face. I think it is not about to stop griefing, but at the end, grief lost control over this brave young man. I hope I was able to explain my thoughts accurate... not a native speaker 🙂
@@philippriedel9888 Great replay me tu ap ka fan ban gya
@@philippriedel9888 i agree with you, i believe the main point of the story is learn to deal with your lost and remember the happy memories instead
My heart knew I needed to see this. When my Dad died, I feel into depression and gave into my demons. I felt that weight of loss so much that I lost myself for a while, trying to find myself in loveless relationships and at the bottom of too many bottles, trying to become numb from the pain I truly felt. It wasn't until I accepted the pain that I finally let myself heal. If I could ever describe what it was like, this would be close. The anger and fear and suffering from loss this kid felt, to the beautiful way it transformed when he finally had acceptance of that loss. Thanks for making this amazing video and sharing it with us all. I felt this in my soul.
I hope you have people in your life that you can trust to help you through your grief…and that in itself takes courage ❤. There is nothing harder than watching someone you care for in pain and the helplessness of having them so close…yet so far
Man, that ending hits just as hard as the ending of Grave of the Fireflies, only, in a good way. Bravo! 👏
I came for the spooks but stayed for the feels. Absolutely beautiful.

"La Noria" (Translate) "The Ferris Wheel"
what language ?
@@taidensehman1571 Spanish
I read this comment just as they pulled the tarp off and revealed the Ferris wheel
"La Noria" = Water Wheel in most Spanish-speaking places it also means Ferris Wheel. Carlos Baena is from Spain where it must mean Ferris Wheel. If he was from somewhere else the short would be called "La Rueda de la Fortuna", "Rueda Moscovita" etc.

It's the monsters crying after for me. Out of heartbreak, out of finally finding an expression to their pain. Of beautiful happiness.

@@ashyashy1018 hahaha that made my day
This one brought me to tears and not many films do! The portrayal of the different stages of grief; denial and pushing the grief away and then accepting and and embracing it was portrayed very beautifully!
I just lost my father back in February of last year and this hit me so hard. I went in totally blind and by the end I had tears spilling down my face. This is truly a work of art.
Those seem to be manifestations of his pain. He didn't let himself grieve and it ate away at him until he found peace with what happened.
YEAH!
You are completely right
At first, I was terrified but at the end, I realized that these monsters wanted to help him make something as a way to remember his father.
The monsters wanted to help him because, of course, the monsters WERE him, manifestations of his pain, building a tool for coping with loss. He initially misunderstood them and mistook is grief for fear. He needed to literally face his own demons before he could move on and honor his father with good memories. This video has been posted for over 3 years. And I'm glad people (commenting) saw it for what it was, and I hope people suffering with loss can learn from the message.
One of the best animated features I've seen in a while. Its the perfect example of how less is more, the unspoken elements of the story just like their being no dialogue, it allows you to understand more then words can. This is how you make a movie.
from the build up to the soundtrack this is my favorite animated short film hands down. Thank you for telling such a beautiful story

This was a very touching short, I felt like I wanted to console the little boy it was sad, then anxious for him, but then I worried about how he was going to handle his grief, by the end then I was proud of him. ANY film that can make you feel several emotions in one sitting is a true creation of art. Beautifully done & the animation was absolutely incredible! 💯 %!!!!
Monsters: hes already fighting his own demons.
He WAS fighting his demons till he communicated his feelings, they understood him and in his head only they maked the wheel for him , but in reality he made it, which means that he finally accepted them.

Absolutely incredible, profucing uplifted humanity. The film-maker had mechanical skills AND creativity AND heart. Access to CGI doesn't automatically give any of those three things. This film has all of them.
I like how in really dark and sad situations a monster can be the closest thing u could have for friend
Jake Romero 👌🏻😔
My personal interpretation is: The boy once lived happily with his family. His father bought him the ferris wheel before going to war, as a promise he would come back home. - *THE TRANSLATED LETTER:* "Hello, kiddo. I'm on my way to Jeruel. I want to tell you I love you very much and we'll finish the ferris wheel when I come back. Dad." - His father went to war and the boy kept waiting for him, but this was difficult times. I guess his mother died and he was completely alone. His only companions were his toys. The drawings were manifestations of emotional suffering, sickness or hunger. There's a picture of a monster with a hole on his chest or stomach, meaning that the boy was probably feeling pain in those areas. I think he was sick and hungry; struggled and eventually collapsed. That was when the ferris wheel fell apart. He knew the monsters were coming for him, but he didn't want to give up just yet, he was still waiting for his father to come back. 3:01 I can't quite hear the screams very well, I guess he shouted: "No quiero que vuelvas" ("I don't want you to come back"). If so, I think the monsters were trying to make him let go of what was holding his spirit, even the pictures fade. I'm not a spanish speaker, so it could be some other word! The monsters were trying to "guide" him to the other side, but he was reluctant, running away from the monsters. But the monsters were showing the way, using the Christmas lights. He got tired and finally succumbed to his death. I think the mirror breaking meant he finally closed the door between the world of the living. Then, facing the missing-heart monster, he place his heart on his chest and knew he was finally dead. His heart stopped beating. The monsters lead him to the almost finished farris wheel and showed him a false memory so he could go in peace. It reminds me of Over the Garden Wall!
Filthy Ivara Main said the same exact thing about the monsters
No quiero que vuelvas. Que te vallas y te quedas allí
@@angelortega5665 : i asked for it
Angel Ortega no one asked that you be an asshole but here we are.
Angel Ortega no one asked you to read it. If length matters so much to you, then ignore the long comments and look to read shorter ones, asshole.
it is really so beautifully brought out on the screen about our anxiety and fears represented as scary creatures, not only kids but i guess every being. i really appreciate the director and the writer for mesmerizing us with this short film which should be really shown to the helpless people with unstable mental health so they try to come out of such situation. i hope everyone who sees this film will cry out loud, and overcome such imaginary creatures

The monsters were a projection of his pain, so when he expressed his emotions and repressed pain that he had felt had been chasing him, the beings purely projected of his pain and emotion then became truly represented as not menacing, but subjects of extreme sensitivity and pain created from years of trauma and betrayal. Our thoughts and can be our worst Monsters, but simultaneously our most empathetic companions: expressing our emotion is the key to confronting those repressed thoughts and pain; and resolving the effects of our trauma by looking them in the eye ; the effect here seen, the trauma had began to grow seeds of thought, personified as these creatures; that were reflections of their environments, and echo of that trauma. Heartless environment, heartless product. You must however shed light on the darkness to cease its spread.
Okay but which monster represents which pain? Thats my biggest question
The Demogorgon all of them, they had a hive like mind, because they we are born of the hive of one consciousness
@@brandonmcclain9988 o oki, I thought the one with a hole through it was grief or sorrow or somethin
The Demogorgon yeah, I think the hoard represented the increasing repression of his general pain and grief, until he’d given so much energy into that pain that they all manifested as real monsters. Him running from those monsters, running from that pain, but you can’t grow without confronting that pain; it’s the stepping stone to reaching enlightenment.
@@brandonmcclain9988 thats a big wisdom
Aww my husband and I cried, this was very sweet and touching. Thank you to whoever made this.
