• 2024 CalArts Character...
im kazakh, and while we do not share a language we shared a lifestyle. Being nomads, yurts, accesories, family dynamics. What a beautiful story, thank you so much for sharing. This has inspired me to create something for my culture.
I’m also kazakh and in love with this
Thank you :)) I'm glad to hear!
Im kazakh too :3
I cried. You can see how the work is filled with love for Nuunzaya, for Nabq, for grandmother and for the native culture. So beautiful
Thank you🥰 I do love them from the bottom of my heart
I'm not quite sure why the UA-cam algorithms brought me, an Egyptian middle-aged woman, to this beautiful piece of art from thousands of miles away, but I'm very grateful that they did!
I hope to see more of your work in the future 😊
Welcome💓! Thank you for your kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed it
I would watch an entire movie and a half about this, but the truth is you just needed 7 and a half minutes to make one feel more than multibillion dollar studios have using an entire franchises. You can feel the love oozing out of every frame and line of this short. Congratulations on finishing this wonderful work of art and thank you for sharing it with the world!
Thank you so much for your kind words ; ;
Oh my god, this is the first time I’ve seen a Mongolian Calarts animated film and I absolutely loved the art. The colors are so beautiful. I want you to know it made me cry 😭❤ Амжилт! :)
Oh man, I would love to see more lore about this! Who Nabq is, what she represents, what life awaited for Nuunzaya, how far did she go?
So many more! Aaaaah!!!!
I assume she’s her mother(?)
It is inspired by the folk song nuun zaya. So maybe try listening to it too
@chaennelchaennel, i think it's a spirit,since her mom is in heaven. Mongols believe that there is a spirit in every nature, things like forest, lake, etc. Since her name is Navch(means leaf) she is probably forest spirit. And Navchaa is saying that she will be forever there for her indicating and representing that she is our mother nature.
Experiencing such incredible animation in my native language is truly inspiring. Thank you for bringing this to life! We're also dedicated to crafting our own top-tier animations with passion and diligence.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I wish you all the best with your projects :))!!!
This one is just so beautiful ( would be understatement) & filled with immense love..
The leaf :- representing the mother nature & our guides in life🤍.
The grandma :- our backbone here..
We tryna to find our own path but too scared to begin & follow.
The moon our path follower & our dark's time light. Always guiding us.
The forest around us which dwell us in ourselves a little more
Thanku so much for this magnificent representy of this picture
So refreshing to see a quality animation with my mother tongue! thank you so much, yostoi goy bolson baina
bayarlalaa!
The artwork is beautiful. Love the play on colors. The ending birch tree choral sounds really nice.
Two moments really stood out for me. The sliding between winter and summer and Nuunzaya growing up. Starting by the puppy becoming an adult dog. That was wonderful.
And I absolutely love the painting of the yurts and nomads on the wall of the ger. With a drawing of Nuunzaya and Nabq. Love that part.
Thank you so much Bujee🥰!! I couldn't have done it without you💕
Around 2020 I exposed myself to more cultures around the world besides the very very famous ones, and one of them was Mongolia’s culture. I didn’t quite understand at the time, but mongolia is so much more beautiful and diverse than what I thought 4 years ago. The more I learn of the country and immerse myself in a sprinkle of music and google searches, the more excited I get. This was a gem I found after digging for asian 2d student animation, and I was left speechless. I hope to find more student work, and I hope your success in bringing such designs to life leads you to thrive in your future!
AYO WHY DID I CRY😭😭😭
THAT'S SO BEAUTIFUL! LETARLLY WHY IT'S NOT GETTING THE SUPPORT IT NEED💀💀
THE ART THE MUSIC THE VOICE ACTOR'S EVERYTHING IS PERFECT I FEEL LIKE I AM LUCKY AFTER WATCHING SUCH A PRETTY ANIMATION LIKE THIS😭!!
Waahhhh thank you so much for your kind words ; ;!! I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
This is beautiful
Hello, I cannot find the words to describe how lovely this thesis film is. I’ve personally always have been enamoured by animation and to see this lovely piece of art representing my culture and voiced acted beautifully brought me to tears. I’d like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for truly capturing the beauty of the Mongolian culture and countryside, this made me yearn to go back to Mongolia. I enjoyed watching every moment of this and I’m sure there are many great things waiting for you. Never give up on your passions.
This is more beautiful and impactful than over half of the animated dredge that's come out of the animation industry in the last 20 years alone. Not only is your style and technique a breath of fresh air, its story is perfectly balanced, the plot and symbolic imagery aren't beaten over our heads and then explained to us explicitly in the dialogue. The voice acting is so organic and natural and it just adds to the premium folkish whimsy of the people who you portrayed. And, of course, the animation and artistry in and of itself and that it was done all by you alone is a high achievement. I've watched so many of these CalArts shorts over the years and I have to say this is one that will actually stick with me. I'm obsessed and need a whole 90 minute feature length film where we get to see the path Nuunzaya took through life. Absolutely incredible.
Lan oh my god 😭😭 I voted this one for peers pick cos this is just so incredibleee
EMYYYYYY ; ;!!!!! Waaaaaaahhhhhhh thank you so much for your love this means so much to me ; ;!!!!!!!! im screaming askjbchjdahggsd rn waaaahhhhhhhsjkdff thank you thank you! I really appreciate it💞🌿!
@@lanwang0175 gonna miss u 😭😭
@@Mymgal Emy😭😭😭😭😭😭Im gonna miss you too ; ;!! Have a wonderful summer, and I wish you all the best for everything💖🐾🌿🌸🌻!!!
i can't describe how i felt, Hearing my mother tongue, and our culture mixed with tales and then they start to talk anout How wide the tengri is, Then swan lady starts singing like❤️🩹 . Something about your art just made it more closer to my heart and it really did touched my feeling❤❤❤️
This made me emotional like no other thing. As someone from another culture it is so beautiful to be connected through art and meaning. To be so touched by something foreign, that at the same time resonates with something deeply personal. Much love to this short film form an argentinian in her 20s !!
Absolutely gorgeous! The colors, character design and the story are all beautiful.
Thank you so much🥰
OH my GOODNESS this is amazing youve done amazing
Its crime that we're able to watch this beautiful story free.❤
This is so beautiful , the way you represented your culture with visuals of dreamy fairytails ❤
This film means so much to me 💗 I’m really glad I got to enjoy the fruits of your labor and learn more about Mongolian culture & your lovely characters in the process. As someone who’s not very in touch with parts of my (non ethnic majority) heritage, it delights me to see an animator depicting their culture so beautifully and proudly.
cool! youtube recommended me mongolian chinese animated film 🤩 i like the art style too, keep up the good work!! from 🇲🇳 😊
beautiful beautiful beautiful! Thank you for sharing such a beautifully told and animated story with us! It made me feel very soft and dreamy.
it always slips away, just before i can understand whats happening.. still i understand the meaning. its such a beautiful video
I love this 😭 so many amazing lines and beautiful scenes. I cried, man.... I think this animation is going to stay in my heart
thank you so much ; ; I really appreciate it!
Маш гоё болсон байна. Өмнө нэг ч удаа Нуунзаяа гэдэг түүхийг сонсож байгаагүй, гэхдээ энийг үзэж авсандаа маш их баяртай байна ^>^ Үнэхээр баярлалаа
Та тавтай морил! Сэтгэгдэл бичсэнд баярлалаа :))
Nuun zaya geed khorchin ardiin duu bgd yumoo. Ene sanaachilj hiisen suragch ni ovor mongol yum bnle. Duug ni sonsood uzeerei
I'm so impressed with the music, so emotional, so aligned with the whole film. Big bravo to Chang Le 常乐
I wish I could understand other people’s cultures better but It’s so difficult sometimes- There’s so many different kinds of subcultures, languages, religions, myths, legends, etc that I have no understanding of and no matter how hard I try I always end up back at square 1. Isn’t it amazing how many people think they’re the same but end up being completely different? I think it is
There are always things that we all share in common as human beings.
this is incredibly beautiful. the animation, the colours, the story- such a good short film
This is so so beautiful and so well done!
Wow, this moved me so deeply. Beautifully done.
Can’t believe that Mongolian done this
Remarkable really

Thank you for your comment and yes! The film was inspired by the Mongolian folksong 'Nuunzaya', but the story was quite different from the historical one behind the song.

Блин мне очень жаль, что из-за незнания языка я не могу толком понять что происходит. Только в очерень общих чертах
Спасибо за ваш комментарий. Речь идет о монгольской народной песне Нуунзая!
@@lanwang0175 Спасибо большое, что рассказали. Когда писала комментарий даже не надеялась, что мне ответят, тем более так скоро ( o°◡°o)
Absolutely stunning!
