Excellent design and use of color/value! Took me a couple viewings to notice Icarus was reborn at the end, not just transported. Great music, too - reminds me of the theme to Requiem for a Dream.
@ddr9248 , read the Greek mythology . It's about Icarus and Daedalus trying to escape from the Minotaur's (Minos) Tower, where they were trapped because they had knowledge of the Labyrinth. Using feather wings stitched together with wax, Daedalus and his son Icarus escaped the tower, but in their passage, Icarus went too close to the Sun and got his wax stitches melt off which led to his inevitable death by drowning in the ocean. Daedalus named that ocean Icaria in memory of his own child.
to Mr. Worrel - Amazing animation! The artistry of the piece was excellent and the style very very cool. The washed out colors gave it that dreamy-old-timey feeling and while some of the animation is greatly fluid and some a mere series of stills (thinking about the mountain here) it works together in a great way. wondering to Ian - is this the final version of the film? excellent job, props from a fellow animator.
We just like the style and motion of the animation. Art is whatever you find a meaning to, so I guess this isn't really art for you, but don't spoil it for these who think it is, okay? ;)
amazing! and i dont find a specific moral, maybe rebirth or something, but everyone can register a cartoon differently.. anyways great film! maybe it moved people because its different. :)
Well, it is quite individual what people are moved by. I just might have been deep and brilliant for those who claimed it to be. Heck, there are even people who claim that devoting oneself to a deity is spiritual...
You should realize that the point of my comment was comedy. It should be apparent that that wasn't actually supposed to be serious. Making the inference that a comment like that improperly summarizes the film was the entire point of the comment.
when your making an animation it doesnt need to make sense it just needs to look great and entertain you and maybye your not looking at it at the right direction to have it moving spiritual deep or brilliant maybye if you looked a bit harder at it (metaphore if you get it :/ )
This is one of the most unique animations I have ever encountered. The styling as well as the subject matter were, to me at least, captivating. Bravo.

one of the most inspiring and deeply meaningful short stories ever seen.

This inspires me a lot.
Amazing! Such Vivid Surrealism ^^
Wow, this is is really impressive... jaw-dropping good.
props man great animation awesome music
Great style cool story and animation

Moral of the story, eating an apple will make you a bee eventually.
amazing..
My guess would be that the music was composed specifically for this comic, since it seems that a lot of thought and effort was probably put into it.
Awesome

Why couldn't that mean old rock share one apple with that poor man?
@LightStijn what are you, blind?
Beautifully hand drawn on most parts. :D
HOW he DID that?!?
