When unexpected illness lands Uncle Bob in the hospital, he's transported from his safe and familiar surroundings to a foreign and chaotic new world. As his stay lengthens, his spirits and health decline until his former life is just a distant memory. It takes a special visit from a special visitor to motivate him to get well. This animated short is a charming look at the importance of cheer, hope and love in the healing process.
That little girls saying "grandpa" makes me emotional. I miss my nieces and nephew 😢
Aw, I do love a happy ending.❤️
My Dad was my hero. He taught me to always believe in myself, to get up when I fall, to reach beyond the universe and always to be modest, honourable, to respect and value differences and to be kind and charitable to others. I lost him 5years ago aged 110yrs old. I miss him so much.
That is so sad l feel bad for you 😢
There is no medication that can cure better than been surrounded by a couple of friends and people who cares about you. Beautiful and thx sharing.
I think being surrounded by a couple of my friends is one of the last things I'd want. I mean, back off, guys. Why are you around me all of a sudden?
Thats right...👍
When we connect our youngest with our eldest, the circle of life will be our wholeness. This is beautiful. ♥️
Yes it does!
I found my shade of foundation "Uncle Bob"
"I have cancer" is the new chic.
Sadly this doesn't go that well for many old people...
Sadly True....
I found that out the hard way.

Can’t see why! I think it’s beautiful! I’m an old bloke whose wife passed away in hospital several years ago.
I should go visit Pops tomorrow... this animation is great
Catholic Defender Don’t think about it just go.
Did you go visit him?
This makes me miss my dad. I'm so glad we could take care of him all the way up until the end.
Did you go visit him?
Made me tear up so bad. I ended up remembering my late grandma. It's been three years since she passed away. I'm not asking for sympathy nor seeking for attention but at 15, my biggest regret was not visiting her when she was sick in bed with cancer even when everyday she'd ask for me. I knew she was dying but I focused more on my schoolwork. During the funeral I remember my uncle saying that she was depressed because of me. I, out of 4 cousins was I guess the favorite and she wanted to spoil me a lot. Some nights I still find myself remembering her and cry. To those who have sick loved ones, visit them before it's too late. Lower your ego, because who knows in the future, it can be the biggest regret in your life.
I've got a cold, so maybe am a bit more of a pussy than normal, my grandaughter is here for the summer, playing a game right now and has no idea how hard I am sobbing. It's the middle of the day, better pull myself together! Your Grandma was 15 once, I bet she understood. The only way you can honor her now is to keep her memory alive like you just did, (ha, ha, looks like 3 years ago, do it again sometime!).
living alone can relate ....... the highlight of my life when my niece and her children visited me ..... When you are ill just having Children around make you feel better.,
The bit with angela and uncle bob made me remember how my grand parents would love for us to visit them. Ah good old memories.
Cheered me up on my LONLEY Birthday😁thanks for that
NFB This is one of the best animations ever THIS REMIND ME OF MY GRANDPARENTS I couldn't still accept the fact that they are dead I been in depression for years now THIS MADE ME FEEL A LOT BETTER ♥️ YOU GUYS
Loved his dog, he got rounder everytime I saw him. Good ending Uncle Bob cooking his beans his way :-) Angela is good for him.
Amazing Islam encourage us to visit the sick so we know how much it would cheer them up. Proud to be Muslim
Same in Judaism. 💛
Same in Atheism! Aren't humans wondrous?!
This is such a heart warming film......
Absolutely.... :)
almost cried at the end, so heartwarming
this was a good video. it made me almost cry but it also made me happy to see the little girl and uncle Bob come together
It's good for him he brought up a good son.
I just got out of the the hospital ( my appendix exploded ) I really when through hell for many days. Hearing people screaming and crying with pain every night was very horrifying. Unlike uncle Bob I was on bed with medications every day. I'm glad my nightmare is over! I didnt want anything to remind me the life in the hospital, but watching uncle Bob progress through the animation was very pleasing for me, because that's all you can wish for someone who is the hospital. To get better.
Best Wishes ,and I don't even know you ...,,,,,,,,,,,
What if you adopte someone special
Glad your feeling better.
So happy you recovered well!
It's also better to have the option of going to the hospital.
it pissed me off when the nurse ate his grapes
That was so fucking rude
or when the fatass nurse told his granddaughter to get off the bed
She woke him up to give him his sleeping pill! Funny cuz it's make believe and cuz it wasn't me. Wouldn't *that* piss you off? Most likely it would, right? (funny comments here too)♥
Noy only the grapes but, the ****ing sleeping pills. I mean that if bob can sleep well, than why don't you **** off if he doesn't need them.
Same, what a b!t€h
Old is gold should spend time with all family
This is the way families should be close
Misadventures of Skooks 5/5 brought me here.
feel it!! :-|0
+Vault-Tec Headquarters dudududududu shuuwaaaaaaa.
"So Uncle Bob and Angela had a little sex"
+ScrubSwarm WHAT??!!
same here
This is such a beautiful film… such wholesome imagery and a message so kind… it made me feel well
Thanks for sharing this video it was lovely...
Love is so healing.
It touched me whole-heartedly. I thought of leaving my parents but I didn't know that it'd have a great impact on them. They're special and they treated us like an angel when we were kids. It's only natural to reciprocate what they did to us 😍😍😍
Thank god we have a joint family. We all live togather
now our parents need us..next time we will need our kids attention..
I wish most old people had families like this I know my dad is ok because I look after him now but I'm worried for myself I don't have any children yet and I'm 40 now and it's almost too late.
god is the only person how can tell you when it's going to be late :)
After about 45 I won't get to see grandchildren unless my child has children young and that's not the best idea in this day I would want my child/children to get a full education and a good job before having their own children
What... thats the stupidest answer
@@aljr357 I'm sorry for u. Can u adopt..? I'm childless too. My son died
Nunca é tarde para abrir nossos corações a outras pessoas, tbm tenho esse medo,o amor é algo que construímos. Divida-o, não tenha medo, muito menos vergonha, de buscar a felicidade.
I wish i had family.
You have me :)
#me too - family's not always a great thing. :(
Me too😢😥
You have more family than you realize. 😊
Sometimes family keep you down
Awww...Uncle Bob! I'm glad he had people visit him and encourage him on his way to recovery. It was sweet how Uncle Bob and Angela connected...warmed my heart!!! 💗💓💖
And they lived happily ever after... I wish that I was uncle Bob. 😊
surprisingly wholesome and happy ending
River …cuz 🇨🇦
I really wish my parents had time to spend with their grandchild. Gone too soon.
What a charming piece. I felt for Bob in the hospital. Everyone talked (at him) but not too him. Maybe if they had sat down and talked too him they would have found out earlier his likes and dislikes, but most people are in too much of a hurry these days for that. Thank you
chris feistner That is because everyone is being worked like slaves
Best 13 minutes that I experienced this Sunday, March 15, 2020
That was a lovely story, Let’s all cheer for JoDee Samuelson for making this film!
Oh I love this ! I too miss my grandparents now after seeing uncle bob and angela
I can relate. February 7, 2019: I ended up in the local hospital with sepsis from a bacterial infection. 105.7F temperature. 8 days in the hospital, 21 days in rehab getting very strong IV antibiotic. If it weren't for my housemate visiting every other day, I would have had a worse time. It was a month before I saw my dog again. You bet I'm staying home during the pandemic! Stay safe and wash your hands!
I’m a registered nurse who works in a hospital and I would say this is pretty accurate to what happens to older adults who end up in the hospital for the first time in their lives. All of a sudden they can’t do things independently and have a laundry list of medications to take every day for the rest of their lives. It can be overwhelming especially if they live alone. Thankfully the guy depicted in this video had a good supportive family but a lot of the time that isn’t the case.
This reminds me of my dad and my daughter. When he was going through some rough patches (thankfully not bad health) she was the only one who could make him actually laugh, same to this day. I honestly (and happily) believe they are each other’s favourite people lol
Goddamnit uncle Bob be grateful
The magic power of children is the best thing there is in this world...their sincere and unique love can turn things from dark to bright 😊🍃🌻
Good for you Uncle Bob. Good for you. :')
Uncle Bob's hospital visit. Family is very important. I like . Love , caring, and Family
I learned of this source from The Misadventures of Skooks and I'm glad that I found out about this because the story is very touching ^_^
Bless is the man who leaves an inherent advantage to his grandchildren.
Very beautiful, cried my eyes out when he left the hospital. I wish my grandfather could have spent his last days like this.
I loved when the kid fell off the bed..Anyway l love this cartoon and story
This was cool...Im 69 and used to being alone
The life "NOTHING Nothing" With out family ! They are most important from "HAPPY" It self ! I hope Live with my parents for all my life .. 🙏👴👵
Run across this video it's a beautiful story💕
It’s so touching. KZhead should recommend this kind of videos not about weird stiffs and the teenagers who were just good at tiktok but always get 0 percent in quizzes and exams. They suck.
So many grapes ...it was a matter of time to to garbage like the apples... when im in the hospital im grateful... I always say thank you of those that take care of me... 🥰 and now with COVID 19.. 👏👏👏👏👏 NURSES DESERVE THAT AND MORE...
This is a very beautiful and interesting animation !I love it! It's one of my favorites!!!😌❤👍

"The cleaning staff put the leftovers in the cupboard, where they grew brown and fuzzy" Do you want ants?! Because that is how you get ants!
😁😁😁😂right?🤦
DANGER ZONE!!!!
And fruit flies!
I live in the country my whole life and every spring I would get ants little tiny black ants no matter how much I sprayed Outside Inside I always had to get the ant Motel and put them on the counters and for two weeks we just had to deal with them
Absolutely delightful, sweet and yet unaffected and educational video! I loved this video so much indeed!
Oh man, i miss my grandpa so bad
Beautiful! Thank you so much!
god this was beautiful
G od
Thank you for a few minutes of understanding, compassion, and a happy ending :).
Enjoyed this very much. Poignant at the point that the coronavirus is about to become a major problem in Canada 🇨🇦! Homelessness - nowhere to go! 😫
What a delightful ending to a sweet story. Thank you.
That is the nicest story since.... well, since the last NFB film.
What a wonderful story, thank you!
A beautiful gesture for a perfect world in an imperfect reality.
This should have been part of a series.
This is so sweet and homey, a feel good short film. Bravo.
Beautiful
Dang yo.....I'm 30 years old and this will make me turn my life around and life my life right.
A beautiful little story for a hard time. Thank you.
Oh how Gorgeous And he's playing a harmonica He's so happy, seeing his grand daughter, giving him someone to love, ve lived by, share with, have laughter and joy, gave him a reason to care about himself again. His son and wife,daughter moving next door, to his lil home, so he could be home, and his family close by to enjoy and be there for him. That's what I wish for every senior.
