My senior thesis film, completed after 2 years of work. It's strange to have it finally finished, but here it is! Enjoy!
Animated in Flash, After Effects, and Photoshop. Basically an all-Adobe film.

Music: Piano Concerto No. 2 - Moderato by Rachmaninoff
Additional music composed by: Dave Volpe
"you killed my child" "You're gonna be my child"
*Biggest karma in the universe*
Lol
Reverse ransoms, how I love them
How I make friends in highschool!
Your mama didn't raise you right, now it's my turn
The moment when the knight realized that the dragon he was hunting was his first love, and that growl that the Momma dragon to indicate “See this is how it felt like when you took my child’s life from me, and now you’ll know the life he would’ve had, the life you’ve taken away.
And then there's the other dragons, just watching the whole drama.
*yeah*
I like that he gave his life force to bring back the baby he'd killed.
@@WingsofAxolotl "Awwwww shiieeeet Draxus, he gon' get it now"
@@WingsofAxolotlThat’s US. WE ARE the dragons. We're watching the drama 👀🐉😂
That little cry the baby dragon makes right before he is killed breaks my heart every time. It literally just gets right to my core.
++
Saaameeee! I literally almost cry every single time I see that part :(
And the little yawn the baby dragon makes at the end makes me tear up just as much!!
It looks exactly like Simba when he is about to be run over by a stampede
and is was even a a hatchling not a dragon who was not full grown than means he take out their hatchling to point out as he was doing good when taking out a hatchling has no effect on their stats of good when the mother knows is make it fair turn him into the thing he killed a hatchling who can`t stop anyone taking him away
12 years later, and this animation is still beautiful.
I agree this animation is beautiful
This animation is better than Hollywood rn.
Yesh
@@po-tater0076This animation is even better than many of the work of Disney recently😂
I love how the mama dragon ignores the princess and the warlock boy because they did nothing wrong, they didn't kill her baby. Instead of going on a unbiased rampage for its death, she makes the only who did it pay the price instead of everyone and I love that :3

Can’t help but notice a few frames that tell me the animator is a fan of Bambi 2 and it makes me so happy that someone else has seen and appreciates that movie too. Also love Zira as a model for the mother dragon.
I REALISED THAT ASWELLLL
7:57 Looks like the scene where little foots mom fights the sharp thooth
I only just noticed now, that the knight doesn't turn into THE baby dragon, but simply A baby dragon. The original baby in the beginning has purple eyes and chest gem. But when the knight turns into a baby dragon, he has BLUE eyes and a blue chest gem. So the mother dragon didn't get her child back - she instead created a new child to raise and to give a new chance at life. I think the reason why this change in color is so easily missed is because the colors are very similar, and because there's like 10 minutes between seeing the purple-eyed dragon and the blue-eyed dragon, so you could probably forget what color the original baby had and assume the mother remade her child using its soul and the knight's body and life force. That's what I assumed at first, at least. But now I see that it was only a transformation of the knight, not a reincarnation of the baby. If anything, the princess being transformed by the baby's soul was probably more of a reincarnation of it than for the knight.
When you said "A new child to raise and a new chance at life" gave that whole part a different meaning to me now- the Prince was very obviously distraught at what he did and seemed pretty remorseful, and I can pretty much imagine that people at this age saw dragons as dangerous creatures, "sharks with wings" even, that's why he was so willing to kill the baby at the beginning, but seeing that his lover was the dragon he sought revenge to, and then the mother dragon presented him that necklace with her offsprings gem, this is probably when he realized that these dragons aren't just feral animals and are sentient. So those factors may have played to his willingness in the end? And I'm guessing the mother dragon notices this. It could also be that the dragons in this universe are seen as either divine or monstrous beings-either way very powerful. The prince done fkded around and found out, but maybe she is also giving him a chance cuz she didn't exactly kill him. A chance to be a better soul, which she taught it to be? Anyway, got a new perspective on this animation woohoo!
Underated coment!
Unironically,I experienced the same Mandela effect when I was younger, I used to think the ending was the baby dragon at the start of the animation was revived.
i feel like it’s REALLY obvious though? I noticed it when I was 8. The color change is pretty drastic.
@@comfortme Same - I noticed it the first time I watched it. Also, the title is "Reversal of the Heart." I take it as basically remorse and redemption. I.e. the process of when one does some grave error and commits to it, refusing to change their ways until it hits them in the face what the consequences of their actions are, and they realize what they've done and the effect it's had. At that point, if they accept that they are imperfect, they may feel great remorse and want to make up for what they've done. At that point, they realize there's much they don't know, and are like a child again in learning to become better than they were.
You can _see_ the pain in her eyes when she confronts the knight with the broken gem, and you can see the realization in his eyes--he killed a baby just to get a pretty rock, and he tried to kill his lover because he doesn't see dragons as people, just animals. That's why he kneels before the Dragon Queen; he knows he fucked up and that's really the only penance he can offer; his life.
And as for her transforming the knight; no, I don't think she resurrected her baby or even replaced them; I took it more as "You took my baby from me. Nothing will ever return my child, and nothing will ever replace them, but I'm going to turn you into a baby dragon and raise you properly this time, so that you grow into a decent person and I can still raise a child."
Ohh! Now I get it. Thank you so much.
@@d.v.3314baby dragon:“oh, ok mama “
@@d.v.3314 Oh yeah, that's a much better way to look at that. I love it!
@@d.v.3314 You can even see his eyes and gem are blue whereas the baby's was purple.
Baby dragon: follows a butterfly Disney: “The rules state that you must die now”
Ikr
Disney be like YEET
The butterfly is everywhere in this animation
This... This isn't disney...
@@foxheadl169 it’s a joke referencing how Disney kills off all the children
Where has this been all my life.. It’s absolutely beautiful. Not a single word spoken and yet I leave with thousands. THIS is how to tell a story. Beautiful work, truly.
yeah i'm with you buddy they should make a whole movie about this;)
I saw this years ago. So glad new people are still finding it!!
My only regret is that I never got any popcorn
It's crazy how a person can do a bad thing to impress someone they love, just like in real life causing him to be the bad guy to someone else. Really enjoyed this story! Thanks!
agreed this is a perfect of example of how we can lose ourselves to ourselves and that real consequences
I like how proud of itself the frog looks when it heals the princess. The frog along with the mother dragon are my favorite characters.
That I agree they’re both incredible specially how the frog 🐸 healed the princess 👸 including the dragon 🐉 mother able to forgive the princess 👸 for what the knight done in the knight sought out redemption by giving up his life for the dragon 🐉 mothers child
I just realized: the mother dragon could've declared war on the knight and his people But instead, she chose the measured response of meticulously teaching the knight the error of his ways by inflicting the exact same grief she felt as losing a loved one
that how i see dragons
I'd say his grief is actually lesser. He lost his girlfriend, she lost her child.
No personally if that ever happened to me I would legit just end myself yeah no but at the very end it does look like the nice actually likes it I think it looked like they were doing a little nuzl
Pathetic
Big brain move
I refuse to believe there isn't more lore, story, or characters developed from this animation because it is too damn GOOD. Would 100% follow along this story for more content of anything with this world
This needs more likes
The only problem is the magic sound effects
It's insane to see this again 11 years later. This was my childhood and will forever remain in my heart as one of the most unique peices of all time.
If this were a series: you’ve got the adventure of the wizard-in-training and the princess-turned-dragon going on a journey, the frog thing being the cute side character you buy plushies of, the main villain being the knight, and the mother dragon that can appear in an episode every now and again. I would watch this.
I agree the only down side of this vid is ITS TOO SHORT
It might not have enough to stretch over a whole series, but I would definitely love to see a feature length film of it.
@@amandahosler-mongeni5876 I mean. A couple episodes is fine too. XD
yeah ep s would be nice
@@amandahosler-mongeni5876 Hell, all they've had to do is 'detail' their journey which would give them more room to show how the Princess/Dragon and Wizard Boy bonded. Plus, they could always show the knight; who just so happens to be having the worst time of his life just trying to reach the 'Dragon Mountain'; yet still he tries because he's 'ANGRY and WANTS REVENGE!'. I could so see the knight having one of those arrogant personalities like Suzaku from Code Geass; treating the people like mere garbage
I love how the mother dragon didn't kill the man out of hatred but made him the replacement, to maybe give love that she could never give to her lost child
Yup, this is what i think
Yeah they should make this into a Disney movie 🎥 🎞 someday cause it will be totally worth watching
Kinda feels like he murdered a child and got rewarded for it by getting to be taken care of by a loving mother all day until he gets to grow into an awesome, flying, fire breathing dragon. The animation was amazing tho, I still love the story even if I wasn’t a fan of the ending.
@@morninggloom8391 I don’t believe that because I believe that she would kill the knight but she decided to make her child live once again. She may have made him the replacement but she may also replaced his mind and mental state to match their child
@@quiyzinx2893 sure, that might be, and that’s a good head cannon but the story didn’t really communicate that well if it is what it was going for (like if they have made the babies gem purple like the kids was or something)
Not a word was said yet this expresses so much emotion through the facial expressions that is what makes this so professional
It’s amazing how big-name animators forget just how expressive an animal’s face really is. If only some could have seen the looks on the faces of the crows when my magpie died… those wild birds were protecting his body until I got home from work
I remember seeing this years ago it was so beautiful and had inspired me to write a story around the basis of the exterior heart with some lore and other aspects then pushed years into the future. Still one of my favorite animations to date
Me too it's breath taking
Morals: • evil deeds will be repaid in kind • The ends do not always justify the means • Do not be so quick to judge, as there is always more than what meets the eye • poaching is bad

and he try to say sorry by dropping every thing and getting down and looking like dude you almost killed her

and it wuz so cute to

Who is still here in 2024? This art and the video is a incredible masterpiece I love watching it when I was younger
11 years since I saw this when it first came out. I was only 4 years old and was just looking through my parents KZhead. This animation was great for its time it's short but tells a movie worth of story. And it's probably the animation that got me into liking dragons. Honestly this whole animation could probably make a short movie or even 10 episodes and give time to explore the journey that happened throughout which would have made it better. But that is the only way they could have improved it and it's really amazing how well done it is.
i love the gremlin. its just like "yo i got that healing spit!" and then he looks all proud of himself.
Uhm i dont think thats a gremlin
@@bryanarcenio3143 my point is he cute

I agree they should make a whole movie 🎥 out of this or a TV 📺 show series
I want a second one
Its beautiful!
Прошло уже 12 лет, но он до сих пор в моем сердце

I was OBSESSED with this video when I was around 10 or 11, and it led me into my love for animation and art! I continue to come back to it every once and awhile to appreciate its beauty
I realize this is an older animation, but it is still a fantastic example of storytelling. Fantastic animation
*checks the date*
The only bad thing about this animation is that there wasn't more of it.
Yes 😔
They have great power but they just don’t have enough time to use it
There’s two bad things actually; How the baby dragon dies, & How there wasn’t more of it.
I agree 🤝 I wish they made more of it as a full movie 🎥
@@angelcat1406 I agree they should make more of this short film 🎞🎥into a full feature movie 🎞🎥
I love how this is shown from the dragons perspective, with the dragons just trying to live their lives, and the human who kills the dragon being the real monster. The woman got to go back to being a human after returning the heart, and the dragons didn't even kill the human who killed the baby.
I thought she did? She exchanged his life for that of her child's and he accepted it he was in the worng and he accepted his punishment
@@akiangellol he didn't though. Her baby stayed gone. But perhaps he offered up his own soul to be her child. Blue eyes and a blank slate.
@@LifeInABoxorigin that makes sense ...he certainly does not remember it at all that he was human either way
.ad
The baby comes back to life at the end. Once the dragons baby gets killed. And someone takes its heart, they need a living soul and the heart, to make it again, and the human isnit a human anymore, it goes out of enticement, the human does atleast, and the heart creatures her baby again, so her baby is still alive, but the baby just died for a little bit and came back to life.
Man its been 12 years since I've seen this beautiful animation. It's still amazing 12 years later.
Every year I rewatch my favourite animations on KZhead. This one is one of them. It's been 8 years ❤
The moral to me is: Through the eyes of humans beautiful things can look like monsters, innocent creatures are victims to are misunderstandings, and revenge leads to guilt.
Not gonna lie, that's pretty accurate
Wow....so true
Thats actually sommething the chechire cat would say, gotta love your pf pic.
ikr i wish humans didnt kill animals they look like monsters like snakes when there very innocent they just mind there bussiness but we think they are trying to hurt us by protecting themselves i love dragons so this is made me so sad we kill foxesforfur when there soo nice
Jonathan Hughes oh god yeah thats kinda the clue of the story, wasn’t ovious at all. IM BEING SARCASTIC FELLAS, ITS A LEGAL THING TO DO.
I love how the knight was tried by fire and reformed into an innocent life rather than just obliterated. I don't know if the knight is the baby dragon or simply rebirthed as the lost child but either way his new form gets another chance. Bravo for an amazing story FiddleGriff
Taylor Tanner he is rebirthed sorta.His body changes but the young dragon he killed is the soul of his body now
@@Iluvsand well I just hope in this imagined land that whatever the body does its for good and done out of kindness. Pregnancy hormones are really getting to me.
I agree XD
I think the knight rebirthed into a little dragon. The first dragon has a purple shine and the new baby is blue

Your prototype after a long time still has many strengths: functional storytelling, good pace, good basic direction, characterization base that you can expand, the story works well and the design can only improve. Reviewing your short films never tires me, I would be happy to see a reboot of your work! I find it much more valid than many feature films of recent times, bravi!

Hi
So what have we learned ? Don't be heartless so you won't kill a baby dragon so your love won't turn into a dragon so she won't end up with a magician and you won't become the baby dragon you killed.
The more you know
MaxBuster lol yes
You could have just said: Don't be a heartless coward and kill a queen dragon's only infant. Seriously, the bastard knew what he had done in the end, so he took the punishment like a true man, unlike what he was when he actually slaughtered the poor thing.
I disagree. He might of been heartless towards the dragon but he definitely was not evil and was not a coward. He spent half of the short trying to avenge his love. I think he submitted in the end because he did everything for her and she rejected him. He also acknowledged the mother dragon's right to kill him. I honestly dislike the princess the most: she smiled when he was turned into a baby dragon (losing everything he was) when everything he did was for her. She can do with having some empathy.
Luna Droid343 It's not about you being kind to them, its about her being kind to him. If she actually loved him she'd show him some compassion considering everything he did was for her.
Eyelashes on fleek ✨ I remember this was my favorite childhood animation. Still so good, and one of my favorites!

I loved this animation, it looked really good and I love that it has dragons in it. It was a great story but also very sad.
9:47 “I did it!”
I could totally see this becoming a full fledged movie or even better a tv series.
Emma Dal Degan not really, a tv series has more time for character development and deep exploration of the lore of this world, a movie has to expose all of that in the span of 1:30-3 hours run to do the exact same thing, I thing the movie actually has a more chance ruin it.

Words cannot explain how amazed i was, when i first watched this, wich was like- 5 years ago- its still very amazing to rewatch
Lesson #1: Never anger a mother dragon.
Emi Anzai lesson#2 don't put on the gem or U.K. be dragon and be killed by your lover and banished from any relationship
Dang it I ment you will not u.k. Autocorrect!
Feel free to ad more lesson
see here, when thee tries to anger thus, thee happens to fall, no?
Lesson 3: When hunting dragons, please make sure that you are able to silence the young dragons and dispose the bodies before the mother arrives. Thinking that you merely kidnapped them, they would go on a quest to discover their babies instead of placing a curse on your loved ones. Lesson 4: When stealing stones from dragons, do not give them to your love. Instead, sell it for money. Instead of giving them a possible dangerous gemstone, buy your love that necklace she always wanted that is much more colorful. Lesson 5: Make sure your lover and anyone associated with them is not a member of the D.R.A.G. (Dragons Rights Activist Group) Other then getting long, over-winded speeches about protecting dragons, they may turn you over to the dragon... um... council? (Not honestly sure what the dragon government is.) If you want to hunt dragons for a living, please make sure you live in areas where there are no or little amounts of dragon protection. This has been sponsored by Dragon Gear Guild, for all of your dragon style and killing needs.

The music is actually howI found this, as I heard the song Dragon Lullaby as a kid, not knowing where it was from, and then I found it after years! There is litterally nothing wrong with this, it's perfect. I know some people want some sort of series off of this, but I like it more as a stand alone animation! Great work on this!

Yeah, actually the baby is the knight. The baby’s eye color is purple but the baby transformed by the knight had blue eyes. Meaning that the knight was turned into a baby dragon. Why he was turned into a baby? Who knows. Maybe she in a sense forgave him while also trying to fill the void in her soul that her child once filled.

Yeah they need to make a full feature animation movie 🎥 or an animation TV 📺 series out of this right now because this is incredible and amazing 🤩
I love how disgusted the mother dragon looks around the humans at the end

PEPP 2006 that to XD
I was going to say it reminded me of Sarabi's facial expressions before she tells Scar he isn't half the king Mufasa was and then gets back handed.
It's been 9 years since I've last seen this and all I gotta say is it's still amazing!!
Almost 12 years later and it's still the best thing I have ever seen.

This could be such a cool movie.

**Sees a butterfly** Me: Oh no
same! butterflies never mean anything good in cartoons!
The reason they sometimes herald something bad is, they symbolize change. It just so happens to be the bad kind of change.
Butterfly efect start.
'Dumbledore's evil butterfly army :D' Don't ask, it's a result of me and my friend being weird together XD
The bringer of evil is here...
I love that the mother retribution was technically life for a life, but in a very unique way. It depends on if he remembers being who he was or not or if his body was simply a vessel to make a new born in. Either way, cool idea. I love that the mom dragon was far more measured in her response for vengeance. She planned, she watched, she (mostly, considering she did turn the princess into a dragon on purpose and probably knew it was some risk) at the end, she doesn't blame anyone but the one who did it.
When i watched the first time, 7 years ago i was a very young and loved the aesthetic that made me love animation movies and never had a good grasp on the story without any word been spoken. Now i'm prasing the aesthetic and the lesson behind it
Reversal of the Heart. This title doesn't explain the Princess's journey... It's explains the Knight's fate.
Yes ur right
That was the point.
Yeah but it also explains what happens to the princess 👸 after she is cursed why the Dragon 🐉 mother that’s punishment for what the knight 🛡⚔️ had done
I thought it was so wonderful that the villain was given mercy and a second chance at life when he admitted his mistake and humbled himself to recieve punishment.
the magic of dragon fire not all burns
By the looks of it however he wasn't given a second chance, his life and the broken amulet were used to recreate the baby dragon he killed, this can be assumed because when the mother dragon is flying away the baby dragon she's carrying has a curious and a bit playful expression on its face.
+mystic dragon but it's eyes and gem is blue like the human's, when the baby's was purple
+Roman Renazco I thought the dragon looked more confused and suprised than curious.
Janice Denique True. Do you suppose he turned into the baby?
I remeber watching this a long time ago, now its still beautiful like I remember
dang i cant believe its already been 13 years since this. i remember watching it within the week it was posted, I come back to this a few times every year because its always been a favorite.
The mother dragon is so regal!😂 the way she looks at the humans, "ew, peasants"
Ikr like at 10:45 😂
Most dragons do.
Wild Child I like your profile picture and name
@@emeraldqueen1994 aww thank you! :)
Yah XD
I think the stone contained the baby dragon's soul, which was trapped until the stone was broke, and only then did the princess heal. Having pity, the mother turned the night into her own son, for a second chance a life. Such an amazing storyline that gives you sadness and joy. It would make a great Disney film.
She turned the night into her baby?
Thesummerflock yeah but i kinnda half wanted the knight to be burned to crisp and eaten.
Gadiel Gonzalez Same
It's true
It's spelled knight, but other then that I agree.
We need a sequel. scratch that - we need a whole series!
Beautiful, both in story and in animation. I really wish this was a series, and I truly hope you got an awesome grade for this wonderful tale. Thanks so much for sharing it with us.
