CalArts Film - To Mom
Based on a true story.
had been thinking a lot about my family and how I was raised up. The film was based on a true story from my childhood in 90s China.
My mom was definitely strict but you know what, I miss her so very much.
Love you, mom!

I thought it was cute 🥺
Hey! how are you? I hope well. Well, I give you a quick invitation to accept Jesus in your life, to have more intimacy with Him if you don't have one, or if you have strayed from His Path. Don't miss this chance, who The Father gives Him will not be rejected, He is The Way, The Truth and The Life. Then you can accept Him in your heart, saying or thinking: Jesus, I accept you in my life, amen. If someone wants to return to Him, say or think: Jesus, I rebuild our broken covenant, amen. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, And I recommend that, of course, if you want to read the passage in the Bible, whether on your cell phone or not, read John 3: 1-21. May God bless you, and make those who have not yet Recognized Him, able to Recognize Him. 😊❤
I wish i could give this a hundred thumbs up. awesome
6 years later but gotta say they are such a vibe and so nice
I was invested from the start, thank you for sharing.
our childhood trauma is really popping off in the chat 😅
Quite toxic
Honestly, I was waiting for a reason for the Mom to justify being such a jerk and depriving her child of everything that brought them joy. Maybe it's just me but this is kind of disturbing in the way she just laughed at the drawings clearly meant to express her child's frustration with how they're being treated. Allowing your child to have a life should be common sense, pigeonholing them into doing things that you consider "constructive" or "academic" in the same way the mom was is just abusive. She didn't even go to check in on her child when they were crying because she was too busy looking at their drawings and giving away their comic books (?) I don't like to generalize or make assumptions but it feels as if the person who made this didn't have a very good childhood.
Watched this out of the corner of my eye while drawing. Even though I wasn't paying full attention this almost made me cry.
how do you.. not have more then 1K subscribers? you really deserve more!!
I relate too. My mum is Romanian and life with her will never not be a scary, depressing battleground. Yes there are nuggets of sweet moments too but the crap parts of the relationship are just the entire nature of the relationship. Put this on a loop and it's our relationship
I dont really understand whats Wrong with me My eyes were tearing up when the mom started to laugh...hahaha A strike of notalgia maybe? This video reminded me of my mom Who just wants me to live a good live I agree some parents are hella strict like my mom... But she comes later near me and she is like Hey i was little strict today.. Yeah...and just after some time its like we Dont even remember what we were arguing for bro- Am talking too much (|| ̄ㄷ ̄)/ Ah oh well (´-ω-`)
I felt like the moms face was like OwO
I just can relate so much to the Feelings of the child, thats exactly how i feelt when i was younger
The sound is great. And the film reminds us we don't get to pick our parents!!!
I love this sort of animation style & sound design! It's so cozy and feels like a real film you'd watch on an old children's tv program. The end is really touching too, Mom just needed to see how her kid saw her 😊
3:42 the girls doing it right. She's strong but not broken
worst mom ever award
thats not how you get kids interested in music
Bruh this is exactly how it is with my parents lol, just hiding and doing some of my favorite things in secret, just bicouse they would consider those stupid. Still we love each other i guess, but im 16 not a 5yr old lil girl XD
Now that you've embraced self-cannabilism, we can all eat together! But not actually share food, just sit next to each other. Except the lizard eats the tails of it's species and not itself.
I don’t see improvement in the end. I see a trap.
Nhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
omg this made me cry
to everyone who completely misunderstood the ending; the point was not to justify the mom’s actions and attitude, but to signify the start of something new and better beginning. people are human and we learn from our mistakes, that is what she was doing.
Okay this reminds me of my mom not taking me seriously when I'm trying to show my frustration , like the kid showed by the drawings. Whoever found this warm, congrats, your mom at least have sympathised with you at some point.
What concerns is he was venting which a lot older teens do when THEY actually go through abuse
I don't know why, but I feel disturbed... The contradicting signals the mother gives to her daughter is really irking me.
A lot of these comments are saying that the ending doesn't justify what the mother did. It doesn't, but that's not the point of this film (or, I'm pretty sure it isn't). As someone who grew up in an Asian household, I feel this film; although my mother was never as harsh as portrayed here, she was stricter than an "average American parent." Although I do wish for parents to give their children freedom to be a kid, we (as Asian-Americans) know that although their behavior seems like abuse, our parents love us and want the best for us. I can't explain it clearly due to cultural differences, but the end of this film conveys that our parents truly care for us and are not always the tiger moms everyone makes them out to be.
WELL in South Asia the only job is a doctor if u get a B it means u will grow up be home less and live off drugs
i feel like y’all just jump to conclusions way to fast and not actually tying to see it for what it is. some of y’all are so quick to call something abuse if you either don’t understand it or don’t agree with it instead of seeing the bigger picture
I think the amount of childhood trauma the viewer has will reflect how they view the ending. A lot of people can't trust that this little interaction will change the dynamic of the relationship beyond this point. A lot of people have been coaxed back into a bad situation by the abuser suddenly being pleasant to be around before it returns to the same routine.
It's strange that the mom's way of connection isn't that she talks to her child about how she is viewed as a monster for her actions. She seems to look at it as a thought so ridiculous that it's funny and she's just having a good laugh about it, like, 'Ooo! I'm so scary, right? Rawr. Haha.' The best part of it that shows a change is that she's not livid about the pages being vandalized and ripped out. There's not much that shows regret or an apology, though apologies are harder to give then to simply feel regret.
Well my mom was like this and I haven't contacted her since my college years. Anyone that thinks this is wholesome or warming - please don't have children.
Ty for telling this
Well, it's better than being raped as a child by drugged out parents. Better than being raised by social media and becoming a complete weed and gay-loving idiot.
My mom was like that. I acted out so much and had so many toys put up in bins and hidden. Trashbags full of everything I didnt need when I wouldnt clean my room. I'm not saying its a great parenting tatic but it was the only way my mom knew how to deal with me. It hurt and I hated her for it but she was just trying to care for me, and we always made up in the end
I love the way the lions just roll in with their feet growing out of their heads. Adorable film, good job.
What I took from this is that the mom deep down wanted her daughter to be constructive. Not mindlessly watching other peoples cartoons, comics or music…aka art, but spending significant time making her own. Mom: if your interested in something, try making it. I’m AA (AfricanAmerican), my mother was pretty much like that.
Even though I don’t relate to the experiences this child faced given I come from an american home, the take I get from this is that the mom is just disciplining her child the way her parents did to her but she probably never received a fun and rewarding childhood, and in the end became strict as a result. But because her relationship with her son strengthened she realized it’s ok to have fun and loosen up a little, she even took light of how her son perceived her instead of being furious.
Yes! In the end she managed to loosen up a little!
People in North, South, and Central American homes can and have experienced similar things. So I just wanted to clarify to anyone reading these replies that it’s not really a given that someone that came from an American home wouldn’t have similar childhood experiences. I mostly say this due to one way I saw how to comment could be interpreted. I know not of its intent
SHE STILL CAN'T JUST TAKE HER THINGS THAT SHE LIKES! ඞ
Man abusive parenting isn't cute.
Lovely animation! <3 But if I had a mother who took literally everything that brought me joy away ESPECIALLY giving away my collection of books to random kids I'd break everything!! That's too controlling, lol the whole time I was repeating Get her books back get her books back! But again beautiful work and it definitely gets a reaction from your audience *clap clap clap*
You can't benefit from other people's hard work, not really. Sometimes, you have to learn to benefit from your own sweat and blood
Is this- you guys think this is healthy?
The whole point is that the end of the film marks a new beginning for the mom as she learns to laugh more and be less uptight. How did you get "strict parenting is healthy" from that?
How is this bad parenting she's not abusing the child, the child is fed, being taught, and loved y'all are cornballs bruh just because she took away some stuff.. people work my nerves.
Exactly
Y'all, *READ THE FUCKING DESCRIPTION IDIOTS!! IS IT THAT HARD?!* (This is aimed at the people saying this is not wholesome at the ending)
YO THE CREATOR HAS 666 SUBS 😳
Cute
I definitly feel this.
People saying the mother is strict and the ending isn't happy don't get this movie, in my opinion This is titled 'to mom' ... because it's an activity with a learning curve. Most parents parent the way their parents parented. To me, the ending is the mother realizing that she can parent better by meeting her child halfway, so the ending is the promise of a better and more understanding relationship. At first she just wanted what she believed was the best for her child but at the end there, she realizes that what she thought was best may not be the best
Well said! The ending is the beginning of Mom's change...
Thank you for this! Feel like so many people missed the point
No, people can go to therapy and heal and unlearn the trauma their parents taught them before having children so they don’t pass it down, stop acting like this is okay and not their fault because “it’s all they knew😢” grow up
@@forest487 not everyone has access to therapy. And inorder to go to therapy you need to know something's wrong with you which most people don't.
@@forest487 Good point! However, back then they might not have the awareness or resources to heal and treat the trauma. And this has been very true with lots of Asian families especially from decades ago.
This is my daily dose of entertainment
how tf is that a wholesome ending? that lady is insufferable and I feel bad for that kid.
Exactly. The whole thing was just sad :(
