This video is incredible. Can’t wait to see you grow as an artist and a channel, and for so many more people to be touched by your message! Thank you for this
I love this style! You did a really good job on this video, the paper sections are really unique and I love the use of the whiteboard. I do have to say I disagree with some things mentioned though. I don't think adults necessarily *can't* get as much out of fairytales. To an adult, the fading of the wonder that comes with lack of experience of the world does seem to put a damper on how we consume these things. But, that doesn't make our experience as adults less valuable, or even less magical. We just have to find that wonder ourselves. With a story such as the little prince for example, I hear many more adults speak of it with wonder than children. In some way, it touches our hearts in a place that may have been taken from us as we were growing up. To a child, it may be relatable in a world of confusing adults. To confusing adults, it may be a reminder. I also personally really enjoyed the adaptation, though I admit I definitely agreed with your takeaway on my initial watch. It's hard to appreciate the main plot when put in contrast with the poetic charm and beautiful visuals of the scenes from the original book, especially with such high expectations that come with the love of the classic. The world the little girl lives in is bleak, and it definitely is *really* on the nose with some parts, especially the ending sequence. However, on rewatch, I think there is much more to take from it than meets the eye. It presents another planet, one that affects many of us even more so now than perhaps Antoine de Saint-Exupéry may have felt the need to include. A planet of essentials. Ironically, I think this concept comes through in this video a little. We can fall into the demand for only the "essential" parts of life, or even parts of a story. Every story must have a point, and get to that point quickly. To a modern viewer, Snow White is slow paced and may be a little more difficult to watch. And I don't necessarily disagree with that, at least not entirely. To one person, they are here for a story that tells you something. They want to feel something. They want a meaning to it all, or their time is wasted. To the animators making the film, it was an art piece. A shot in the dark for an uncertain world that hadn't been explored yet. They hand painted each frame in three years of tedious work. They knew it wouldn't be perfect. After all, there was no going back and editing for them. And yet they chose to include each scene not to make a point, but for the passion of creating. I think that's worth it, more worth it than slow scenes created without intent or spirit. It reminds me of the aviator and his first drawing. At first, the adults do not look more closely, and therefore do not understand. With the second drawing, now plainly told the intent, they dismiss it entirely, recommending things that have more use. That have a point. But maybe the point just wasn't the one they were looking for. Also, interestingly enough, many fairytales really don't have much of a point! At least, not a "moral" one. In many fairytales, the hero wins just by lying really well, such as in the story of puss in boots! In Rumplestiltskin, the only morals I can draw from it are either not to lie, as perhaps we see from the father, or don't make deals with magical creatures, which is a much bigger part of the story. So I suppose they just offer general guidance. The son in puss in boots must be satisfied with his lot in life to succeed, and the miller's daughter shouldn't have made a deal she couldn't fulfill. Although, I guess it worked out for her in the end anyway. This is different from modern fairytales of course, but still very interesting to what people considered important. Sometimes what was important was just a good story! Sorry for the long comment, I just find this discussion fascinating! I might as well make my own video if I tried to say everything I wanted to. I promise not to be so wordy on other videos. Keep it up!
Howdy! First off, thank you so much. I really enjoyed reading through your entire comment. And I do think you are right. Something that really caught my eye was what you said in the 2nd to last paragraph. About how fairy tales don't often have or need a point. And I can't agree more. That's exactly why I made this video. My goal largely for this channel is to be able to share my deep love of stories that have had impacts on my life and me as a person. Parts of my video's are made certain ways just so I can't improve my point. Although, I am thinking I don't really need to do that, lol. I didn't read the little Prince for the first time until I was very much so an adult. I took a lot more away from that story because of my added maturity, not in spite of it. I have actually just started writing a script about the show "Bee and Puppycat." And that video is largely focusing around how stories don't necessarily need a point to be successful. Because we never needed to be what the world demands of us. Because sometimes, the simple way, is more than enough. As I said tho, it won't be the next video, but coming up down the line. Lastly, never worry about being to wordy! Feel free to reach out, being wordy is an excellent thing. I hope you have had an excellent weekend, and have a great week!
@@SkyCreativeIndustry - _Princess Tutu_ is an anime where a girl is tasked to save a prince who has escaped out of an old fairy tale book. It feels like the many ballet plays and fairy tales that it borrows and takes inspiration from, and like your video states, shows how stories like it can bring hope.
Loved the video!
Thank you!!
Great video!!
Thank you for watching!
This video is incredible. Can’t wait to see you grow as an artist and a channel, and for so many more people to be touched by your message! Thank you for this
This was a great essay!
Keep up the good work!
Heyo! Thank you very much! I am already working on the next one.
