I'm pretty amazed that nobody mentioned the absolutely marvelous soundtrack in the comments. It's sooo good!
CloudyMindMusic yeah, except for the part where the fox growls. They sound WAAAAAY more high pitched lol
It is! Thanks for pointing that out!
Yes, it really is
I love this story because though it’s not super likely to happen in the wild, it’s not completely unrealistic either because there are actually stories of predator and prey becoming, in their own way “friends”. It was really cute and the animals moved so gracefully. Well done!
I loved it when the fox just dived face into the snow in the beginning it was adorable XD
The best thing is that they all do that in real life during the winter aaaaaa
McByte AJ same :D
That's actually how they hunt! so cute~
McByte AJ is adorable!!!!
I had a fox cuz it was hurt when found it in our back yard woods and it would jump even in the warmth of our little home and face plant into invisible snow after the little geckos that run around in our house
McByte AJ the foxes have to do sat to get food
THE FOXES FACE IS SO ADORABLE
I love that silly little red owl and how he had to glance at the blue owl before realizing what expression he was supposed to be making. Little touches that make a great character!
Le design des personnages mêlé à la musique donnent vraiment une atmosphère onirique unique et attrayante, vraiment un très beau travail.
When the tail wraps round and the mouse looks up to see his friend who’s rescued him. Beautiful.
It was a roller coaster of emotion for me.

This is really nice. I love the way it's animated, especially the fur and how it behaves in the wind and how graceful the animals are. Other than that - unrealistic, but very adorable story.
In real live when they dive its more graceful than the anima
Eh, it felt like there wasn't any friction and the animals didn't have muscles.
The fur also looked as if it was placed on the models as if they were coats when fur should look like it is a mass of individual hairs protruding from the body.
Wolfy 529 they are graceful when they jump but on they way down sometimes it doesn't and I know because I have a friend whose mother is a rehabilitator and the fox they have (it was rescued when it was a pup) will nose dive into the white blanket in its cage. It's pretty funny 😂
ThatBugBehindYou OK I'd like to see you remake this the way you like it if you want to find the littlest things wrong with this after the creator might've took 3 or 4 months to make this

You're just the worst kind of person aren't you?
I don't care how long it took to make this and the video didn't point this out either, proper weighting in animation is not in any way a little thing and if you think otherwise you don't know what goes into animation. I'm pointing out something that changes a great animation to an excellent animation.
I don't need to make something better just to point out what's obvious visually in this.
I LOVE the little mouse! It's so cute, and beautifully rendered!
Everything in this short film is amazing
From the history to the movement of the fur
The amazing soundtrack. Even the credits were well animated!
I love this film!
Bro I’m watching this for school lol
A really good story.
Made me cry tears of joy.
Good ending.
A fox and a mouse becomes friends.
Good animation.
For all ages.
Saw this on a plane back from Scotland yesterday and thought it was the cutest thing! The art is beautiful and the story is so adorably touching. I didn't get a chance to see the title on the plane so i quickly wrote down "fox saves mouse from owls animated short" so I could look it up when I got home. So glad I found it!
I *love* the tiny paws of the fox!!
I've never seen owls look simultaneously sinister and adorable.
I love this short film a lot, it's absolutely beautiful! The fox and the mouse had a cute bond together in the end.
I like the design/style of the fox and the mouse. Cute.
Protecting someone is an ultimate act of kindness.
J'ai été touché, époustouflé, amusé par beaucoup de courts métrages de l'ESMA postés sur cette chaîne. C'est simple, pour moi celui-ci les surpasse tous. Animation, scénario, composition des plans, transitions, musique... Je vous tire mon chapeau, l'équipe, et vous pouvez même le garder.
La mélodie du début ne donne envie de voir la suite ...cette belle introduction magnifique histoire c'est beau merci pour ce moment de plaisir
I love this story
moi aussi
Pareil x) ( 3 renards )
Drawing fox moi sussi 😁
Drawing fox is súper cute 😍😍😍😍😳😳
Drawing fox me too!
joli scénario, magnifique musique ,climat général accrocheur ,sensibilité et réalité respectés. bravo .
If this would be a movie I would watch it five-thousand times, and I would keep it in a drawer so that it's safe. This is soooo cute
Wow!!!! I really liked this one. How they made the fox was so elegant. The owls are a little....derby! The music is very good. The plot is very nice. Good job!!!!!!!
"Oke so lets troll this mouse so i can eat him later." thought fox
"Come fox, lemme bring you to where my frends live." said mouse
"ahh jackpot" Thought fox
Des textures très soignées, et des animaux très beaux. La musique est en accord avec le déroulement de l'histoire, j'adore ! Super mignon.
the best short film i ever seen
Saw this in theaters for the oscar nominated shorts. This was beautiful. Loved every second of it. So well animated. Stylized well. The end credits with the water colors (?) are stunning too.
C'est juste énorme! Franchement, bravo!! Les designs sont supers chous, les ombres et lumières magnifiques, c'est très fluide, jolie, l'histoire est simple mais originale et mignonne... J'adore la neige, et cet effet de pelage incroyable... Les gestes des animaux et surtout le renard, sont majestueux et on comprend bien les sentiments (on remarque, l'hésitation, la curiosité, l'amusement.. ) grâce à ça, c'est très réaliste, félicitations!!! Mais ce que je l'ai plus adoré, c'est lorsqu'il tombe dans l'eau.. le flou du départ, les couleurs, la lumière et les positions.. Wow, c'est génial! La musique est aussi bien choisit je trouve qu'elle sonne très bien avec l'animation... Encore, félicitations à vous tous, et tout ceux qui ont participé et vous ont soutenus!
Galaxy Dragon j'allais dire la même chose !! Oh mon dieu les textures du pelage et du paysage !!! C'est vraiment hyper bien fait !
Galaxy Dragon oui, c'est genial et interesante
Galaxy Dragon oui c'est magnifigue!
Je suis moi même fan de ces petites bêtes a poils :D (les renards) C'est super réaliste ! Malheureusement, je n'ai jamais eu la chance d'en voir un et de pouvoir le caresser... Mais cette histoire est touchante ! Rien a dire :*
Je ne pourrais pas être plus d'accord
the fox looks sooooo AMAZING ,its adorable but out of no where it can look like a total beast!!!
Animals love and taken care each other.. good story 👏👏
Magnifique, juste magnifique.
L'effet de la fourrure, de la neige, de l'eau et de la glace sont superbement réalisés.
J'ai trouvé ça vraiment adorable ! La souris est vraiment full cute !
Marion saliliaynxxvideo
oui oui
A very touching story beautifully shown. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the emotional interaction between the characters. They were very well drawn. And the end was so cute and satisfying.
Thumbs up. Unrealistic, but good animation. The fox and mouse were beautifully done.
yes, the beauty of CGI animation is because it's not realistic.
otherwise we'd better off watching live actions. right?
+Zen RD i think he said unrealistic because of the friendship between a mouse and a fox
Pedro Neves
Yes, that applies too. If a CGI movie is about human-human interaction like in real life, it's a waste of time & resources, because you can just shoot real humans. Hence the need to create unrealistic characters, like talking birds, mighty giant robots, flying pigs, etc etc.
Zen RD Flying pigs is my favourite lol
Zen RD There are laws against shooting humans.
😉
Some people don't consider art a waste of time. Commercially, it is considerably faster and less expensive to use CGI than labor and physical sets. Imagine a client decides he/she doesn't like the wall color after the set was built, photo taken, and crew sent home. Physical settings are becoming rare. In terms of art think about the time and labor that would go into stop action or drawing each cell in an animation.
Beautiful! The sunlight through the trees at the beginning was so real and breathtaking. I also love the lifelike interpretations of the animals’ actions; the slight cock of the fox’s head as he hears an infinitesimal sound coming from underneath the snow, and the little rear end wiggle and pounce. Mostly, the vulnerability and trust recognized to enhance the friendship. Clear, voluminous, and gorgeous soundtrack and film! Best one yet! Thank you for this!!! ❤️🐾❤️😊🦊🐭
4:10 SO FREAKING MAGESTIC
Wonderful and moving!
I’m doing this video for a plot assignment and I’m in a zoom rn
This cartoon is just beautiful! It made me get all teary-eyed. Thumbs up a thousand times over!
le plus beau court métrage que j'ai jamais vu
Facebook is the only way to
Whoever disliked was common people..not a creative people...this is amazing video..hats off..
I really like the physics of snow and their fur. XD
Delightful! And the fox was brilliantly expressive.
Really awesome! Animation, characters, music... The owls are super cute, I love the style they made!
There are too many animation movies have identical style nowadays, but this film is an excellent exception to the trend
Really great work!
This is the most cutest animation I have ever watched
SOOO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Merci ! Merci ! je suis touchée par l'espoir que vous transmettez dans cette histoire... d'Amour !
awww that fox 😍💙🐺 I love fox
You know that’s a wolf emoji
The fox is adorable. I enjoyed this. Its very cute.
There's just something about prey and predators befriending eachother that i like :3 Very good animation, i can really sense the different thoughts of the animal characters, good job on giving them such clear expressions. The 3d models are very well done too, the mouse is extremely cute and the fox has a nice design. The owls are abit cartoony but that's good cause it feels easier to tell their motivations and thoughts then.
All in all, it's really good work! :D
Aww, the friendship is adorable!!!
2:35 that scene reminds me of Bambi when he wad trying to stand on ice. XD
- I love that part.
Wow le travail sur la neige et les poiles sont vraiment fou !! Bravo
Whoever it is, stop my crying 😭
This story was very nice! It felt like a Disney movie. Beautifully done!
Okay, first, I love this animation! The storyline is so creative and the animation itself is so smooth! And second, I am sick of people saying "Oh, I like this even though it's *unrealistic* ", Seriously! I understand that this isn't something that's likely to happen but by saying that in the way you've interpreted, it sounds like you're being rude to the animator, because, of course it's not that 'realistic' it's an animation! In animations not everything is fact! You can easily say, "I liked this animation! Even if the characters relationships aren't likely to happen in real life!" Or even better, don't say it all at. Because that's the wonder of animation, that you can bend it to your own will with no limits! To let your imagination go free without people telling you it's 'unrealistic' , because, for example, if someone had said that to me (if I were an animator) I would feel discouraged to animate anything outside the box or creative, but would simply side to fact, which people would get bored of easily and my animations would only fade to nothingness or boring fact! So please, just enjoy the animation for what it is and if you want to comment something positive about it or maybe even a critique, don't add in 'it was unrealistic', because just think of the outcome of this story if this was based on fact. Thank you, keep up the good work! 😊💯
Wow! Dude#it was something^^^^
I completely agree❤️
Smiling Lobster ???
Thank you for writing what I was thinking xD
World record: The cutest story in the world!
really!
cute fox
How heartwarming to see animals behave with contrived and sentimental human emotions.
So funny , I very like!
The little mouses face as it sunk made me cry I watched with my grandson he loved it as much as me
Vous avez une super maitrise d'Houdini ! Vos formateurs ont été très pédagogue.
ahem
hahaha x) la réponse j'adore. Je ne vois pas comment cette personne a pu juger si les prof étaient pédagogues ou non juste en voyant le film x)
En tout cas le court est sublime bravo :) c'est hyper joli, le fur est au poil (oui bon pardon), les fx cool, le rendu beau comme tout, l'anim aussi... un petit bijou ! Bravo la team ^_^
What a good story of forgiveness and compassion with friendship,
Daww, this is just like Kagemono!
I love this story. And I love the way it's animated. This is a story that made me smile.
so cuuuuuutte😍😍😍😍 i love

Cette histoire est vraiment magnifique et émouvante !!!
Merci ESMA mouvies
Wow, vraiment magnifique, les Soundtracks et tous, l'histoire, même si elle n'est pas longue (comparée à un film) on s'attache vite au personnages c:
Certaines partie du Soundtracks me font penser à ceux de The Last Guardian!
Lobo
y vampiros
Si y no
A piece of art. Thank you
so beautyful
More like beautiful
and cute
I love the side changing. The owls prevented Fox from eating mouse. Fox saved mouse from drowning. Then fox protected mouse from the owls who also eat mice, then mouse and fox became friends. Love the animation.
4:58 that would be a gorgeous wallpaper!
Magnifique, la petite sourie et le renard sont tellement mignons
Nice animation! I'm surprised nobody has pointed out the sound track yet tho.

They have in one of the top comments that was posted before you wrote your own.
oh, sorry. Didnt Know!
PomPom 2005
It's fine. I appreciate that you are able to recognize and enjoy things many take for granted.
thanks!
i love this and i love the way the fox's fur was animated
Nature: How it should have been done.

A heartwarming tale if ever I've seen one . . .
i recently learned that foxes actually cant snarl, growl, or bare their teeth. instead, they open their mouths wide and scream. (im not making this up i swear)
Wonderful film! And the music is outstanding- on its own and in the way it enhances the story. Thank you to all of the creative minds and hearts who worked on this for sharing this beautiful gift.
cool fox and mouse story,sub and laik
I wish this was a true story, but of course, it might be allegorical as far as my dissolute self can tell.Thank you. Great film.
4:36 owl on right me being shook
this made me cry silently omg beautiful story
and then the fox starves to death
well, it turns into rabbit hunting. or owl hunting.
Fox main food supply are mouses! In winter it's sometime their only food source!
Trulylatino did you look that up?
Mice***
TheEnderFox433 Gaming I did, it turns out to be true! (My friend even caught one going through the dustbin - the greedy fella ate a binned jam sandwich!)
Who can not give a thumbs up to this adorableness
per tutti quelli del compito di inglese mi raccomando di lasciare like a questo commento

I'm First!
Merey Baymar Why is it that the ones that want to claim first are the ones that have the least worth reading? Say something even if it's wrong.
Michael Hartman I understand English a little. Я просто хотела написать что-нибудь на английском 😊
Merey Baymar Your opinion may still be valuable, and the readership has a translator available.

Cute Fox. It`s a really lovely story. Perfect.
An animal the size of a mouse will never be able to recover it's body temperature after getting wet in freezing weather. It's going to die even if the predators don't eat it. ...If this was realistic.
animalobsessed1
Indeed. And if the fox didn't eat that mouse during the Winter when food was scarce it would have starved to death.
🤦🏽♀️
this is such a cute story I'm literally gonna take a minute and cry.
lets be real. a fox would just let the rat die.
That's like saying all white people still hit the quan.
Finally you guys released this one. Had been waiting ever since the trailer (and the music was gorgeous to say the least!)
ُThis story has been romanticize by the feeling of the human being , and how he looks to this world.
It reflects how humans are not stratified with the balance of this nature that God had already done in it
royaltornado or... it’s just a cute animation..
This video is just magic! Kind regards for those who make this! From 🇧🇪
i like how the fox dives in the snow and its face its so CUTE!
This is the cutest thing I have seen all day
