The irony that the people above will go literally blind from looking at this “mother eye”.
This comment is so underrated 😂
I looked at the sun for a huwer and im good
Cuz they live in a cave and their eyes are probably not adapted to sunlight
Lol true, the people in the vid probs be like “logic, my mortal enemy” when they see this comment (not that they will or can tho)
now try imagining distant aliens on a dyson sphere surrounding their star worshipping our galaxy for looking like an "eye"
I love how the people in the cave use dead leaves for clothes, but the ones in the tree use fresh leaves.
How do they surpass hypothermia? The tree wouldn't survive if it's on fire... Wait, that would actually be a good solution 😶

I see your point, but they are praising the sun. It was just convenient that the sun was positioned behind the eye shaped twigs.

The Mighty Eye may have just been a hole in the ground compared to Mother Eye, but at least their music was lit
Yeah, that music and dance was lit.
And they got the moves like Shakira
XD I agree
When you hear music underground on Halloween
Funny actually they call the sun "mother" while most cultures have always pictured the sun and sky as father, while the earth as mother.
Child: *isn't able to pass his fruit cuz he's short, so he eats cuz he's a LITERAL child*

@@nathancaldwell5443 I mean, thats what Christianity is sorta is
@@nathancaldwell5443 not really wrong
0:23 it says “obey the eye, or suffer eternal suffering in the white abyss” then I think something about washing your hands every morning. Seems legit.
I had to slow it down, the second part sounds like "be sure to wash your hands and tidy up every morning"
I actually think the last part sounds more like: and tie your bun every morning, which could make sense as they tie their hair in a specific way
5:34 She's just sittin there like: "After all the sh!t I went though-"

hahah, that is my face when i saw this animation one tiem.Like What???
I like how the toddler’s hips kept moving even when they all stopped
all the little details are so great
ok
Where?? I didnt see
OW Bahraniya it’s around the 2:26 mark
Velvetly thank u i saw it!
I really appreciate the trend of animations exploring nudity. Because western media treats nudity as a sexual device but its not its just the human body and the female body needs to be normalised.
Agreed. Women aren’t inherently inappropriate just because they are topless 🙄
Yes because it’s not like people have sex with their clothes OFF or anything… no not at all
@@gabbysivad6457 What's your point?
@@gabbysivad6457 being naked has nothing to do with what was stated. Its specifically about women being topless. Men can be topless and it's considered fine but women being topless is often sexualized and demonized for no reason.
Oh shut up
The greeks did that thousands of years ago
what an aesthetically pleasing animation style. this will always be one of my favorite short films for its humor and emotion
Totally agree
@@ayanathewitch a good short to remember in these trying times
I wonder if one of them realised they're just feeding large birds
some random teen how come they didn't eat the people then?

Who is praise

Praise isn’t a person
This is...I'm speechless. It presents the human mind perfectly. Worshipping a thing they cannot understand with so much faith and devotion. Loosing their whole life believing in something that might not even be true. Following what somebody else tells them or what the crowd tells them, never to stop and ask their own intuition, their own guidance. Human mind
That's called being "entitled" :/

I reeeaally love the details in this short
I like how they're all topless but no one makes a big deal out of with or even points it out. The fact people are barely mentioning it in the comments means you did it well
I ONLY NOTICE THE GRANDMA, I DIDNT KNOW THEY WERE ALL SHIRTLESS
CheesyQuokka YT xd
I really didnt notice those nipples until the mom started dancing. This is how animations/shows should be done
The fact that people are mentioning that no one is drawing attention to it, is drawing attention to it.
I think they were only prominent in the Grandma XD.
Gobelins is one of the few places true traditional animation is being kept alive and makes us realize what we're missing out on

Reminds me very much of Plato's cave allegory. Awesome done!!
Had the same thought
Nooo L you shouldn't reveal your name!!!!!
Lawliet I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought that!
I can see death note fans with my eye😆
Absolutely! That was so cool!
Then kid eating the fruit was so cute. I was bummed when I thought they could start a new life but it was just a lie.
Maybe they are starting a new life, just a slightly different one but, at least, the Mother Eye tribe seems to more chill.
@@Tokuijin yes but i think with the time there are going to be more and more people and it is going to be a really strict religion again to controle the mass.
@@cpikl2003, perhaps, that's the beauty of the short, which is how open ended the ending is.
i don’t think the kid was cute-
well kinda
Better have a cult with crazy old grandma than with crazy old random man, right?
The attention to the lighting is phenominal. You can see when the light didn't shine in the mother's eye she couldn't see the Mother Eye properly. But when it shined in her eye, she could! I also thought this was a series ngl. Imagine the designs. I like how the facial expressions are so fluid and different from one another,
The myth of the cave with a twist.
Meaning, you can take a person out of the cave, but they need to take their minds with them to truly be free, otherwise they'll just stay in the cave forever.
Great as always. My favorite part was when she suggested torture instead of sacrifice. Loved it!!
That's Suber

Thats cliche isnt it.
@@kaidatong1704 It takes place in the modern era where they will now will out into space and possibly the black hole or supernova when seeing them so hence they once again changed their believe accordingly
4:56 that is just cute when the child eats the fruit
I sincerely hope this animator goes places, because the whole art style for this felt nostalgic for some reason.
Though I am religious myself, I find this animation absolutely amazing and has an interesting take on how we perceive and engage in religion in the real world.
The contrast between the "Almighty Eye" and "Mother Eye" 's religions are so very different on the surface but once you see the people in the cages and how everything is set up, you realise how similar they REALLY are.
Which I do find true to my own religion as there are some that work much like cults (Almighty Eye) And some that are more peaceful and loving though still have discipline (Mother Eye).
I found it amazing to see how much love and thought went into this animation.
The art, the music, the tone and the settings, the expressions and the script are all so beautifully done. I hope you all are extremely proud of yourselves, this animation is a work of pure art.
Cause a lot of people can't tell the difference between religion and faith
I never thought about it that way! Yeah seeing other religions, they are very similar with almost the same teachings. Of course when I told my fellow ones that, they thought I was the devil>_>
Good comment
Though the settings are different, its basically the same pointless worship. The grandmother scoffs at how they used to worship a hole in the ground while worshipping.. a star? There's even a hint at the end with both the grandmother and the priest saying "praise the eye" at the same time, and there's still people in cages. Though we can probably assume the "mother eye" religion is better in some ways, the point seems to be that it was just the same ignorant belief.
As a Christian I do sometimes doubt about religion as a whole, like how much was added on? For example, at some point archeologists found a scripture that described *AND* had *the exact date* of the death of Jesus with it stating "the sun turned black and the clouds surrounded the corpse with harsh winds blowing in in the directions of the people surrounding him." It took lots of effort to find where and when it was written and then they found the date to be very recent to that time. They showed it to the Catholic Church *and they rejected it* because, "it wasn't in date with easter" like WTF. WHY DID THEY REJECT SOMETHING THAT WAS PROVEN TO BE REAL, ALL TO KEEP THEY'RE DAMN RELIGION, so since my history teacher told me that I began to doubt what was actually real that the church told us. Like how much stuff was added on just to justify certain things?
2:14 this is actually pretty catchy.
*I was doing this at school and got so many glares.*
Weird
Is this Madagascar, when King Julian is finding a sacrifice-
“May the gods give us water!”
I can’t help but feel that the grandmother dropped the fruit on purpose just so that she can get out of that crazy place.
You have a point

Them: PRASIE THE BIRD!

I love this so much, I want it to be a movie so badly. I saw this last night and tried my best to remember the name of it and I was like “It had to do with an eye, maybe it was blind?? It was a film right?” And then BOOM! I found it!
Imma rewatch this so damn much
Lovewhatkind 2.0 I would love to see this as a 2d animated movie. I miss 2d animation.
I found this by searching 'praise the eye'
2:23 i love how the Child eats the fruit but still dances💃🕺
2:37 that spinning animation is really cool and well done
Great job of everyone involvd! The story was a wonderful mixture of creepy yet funny, the expressions and movement were full of life, and the character designs had plenty variation with a clear style.
Youre right! It is a very short movie but you can really feel the deepness of the characters
I couldn't have said it better!
That's people... at it's finest. If they loose one religion they search for another one... although it's all the same.
You are a people tho

It was so funny but with a big message 😂 and the art style was also beautiful
I love it so much
I'm christian and believe and love God so hard, but with this animation, I think the moral is : We really want to have something bigger than us
We need a religion, when we could live just free and be the bigger person in our life
This reminds me of platos allegory of the cave, the idea that reality shifting and our perspectives on what is real and what isn't. Really cool animation and story. Well done :D

Love that eye song. Great anime. I was a little disappointed in the ending but hey, it's still great work 😊
Oh my goodness. This animation is beyond words. The music, the writing, and the satisfying sounds are all just pleasing, and are both EYE candy and ear candy.
Honestly, i would be so down to watch this as a full fledged movie. The idea of a person that had been sacrificed for disobeying orders, and having to realize that this person had been worshipping something that was far more worthless then they initially thought is very cool.
The mere idea of the old religion is very nicely done and makes me ask so many questions, and makes me really want more!
This is amazing. The character design, the bgs, the animation, the colors. And the irony! The commentary on religion is so true. Such a good film, fantastic work!! I was entertained every second of this film!! So so good!
The end with the beaks and the fruit forming an eye was impressive. Beau travail !
wow, je n’ai pas realizé cette détail! beau travaille est correct!
I like the detail of people still being in cages at the end, but now they're just chilling.
I wish there was a sequel or even a mini series. I’d totally watch it :O
Increíble work
The plot is just amazing
The animation style gorgeous
You never disappoint

Unless you had more knowledge, you'd think all light came from the eye
I love how the daughter risked her life saving her younger brother thinking she would die along side with him, only to be brought outside back to her grandmother and to praise another eye, Mother Eye XD.
I really love this animations style. The little boy, his gestures and expressions are my favorite things about this film as well

My favourite part lol
Some films, short or long or animated or whichever format, have a unique quality of making their universe immersive and real for the audience watching them: the Cornfields in Interstellar, the Shire in the Lord of the Rings, Long Island in The Godfather, etc. It is a quality that goes beyond story and character. You feel like you have been to that place.
Such was an experience I had from “Blind Eye”. I can recall the sound of the priests voice, the strange accents, the revered hand gesture for the almighty, as if I had been there, done that.
If this was the magic from the five minute film, I can only image what would be the outcome of a bigger project. Hats off to you and your colleagues, Rohit Kelkar !!
🙂
This is honestly such a good short!
I love the art style. Very cute.
That dancing scene is my favorite. :3
The fact that I found myself doing the Mighty eye's sign with my fingers had me chukling
There’s a difference between faith and blind faith
Ther's a difference between faith and religion. You don't need to go to church / whatever to have faith nor to apply the Book
The irony is they’re gonna go blind from staring at the sun
You didn't get it... The point was the comparison, not the contrast.
Having no eyes makes a difference 😶
No there isn't. If you know something to be true, you don't need faith. Faith is by definition blind.

Every year or so I come back to watch this animation, it’s an old favorite of mine ❤️
5:35 you can hear the other chieftan shouting the same thing from the hole.🤣
hmm... pretty sure this is throwing shade at religions lol, good one
It’s also a great reference to Plato’s cave. A bit of skepticism never hurt anyone ;)
This is one of my favorite videos on UA-cam and I can't explain why 😂❤️
I think it's funny how the elders are set in their ways of worship and the kid is only following along. The girl is the only one at the age to question things and it shows xD
our perceptions towards this world limit how big our world can be.
I was trying to look for this kind of definition in the comments and urs is the only one I can find amongst others which is about religion. This animation really points out so much irony and facts of reality as well as the lessons potrayed.
I’ve watched this and re-watched this like 70 times.
I would love to watch a series in this world and with these characters, this character design is captivating and full of personality
One of the best short films I've seen👍
