- A forest that was once a sanctuary for winged dogs is now in ruin after all of the winged dogs have mysteriously disappeared. All except one, a winged puppy who lives alone until he encounters a group of forest sprites.
My thesis film I did at LCAD! A special thank you to my professors, friends and family for all of the support, and to my classmates for cheering me on and making this short such a fun experience to work on!!

Someone watched Ringing Bell and Unico as a kid. Lovely job.
Absolutely, yes😍
Ringing bell…omg it was too much for me 💧
Right? When I saw the thumbnail at first glance, I thought it was the sheep from ringing bell.
Correct!
And Kimba
Oh my god this was fantastic I love the ghibli vibes and how fluid all the motions were and the beautifully painted backgrounds really sucked me into the world of the film!
It kinda had some pokemon vibes as well with how the character is designed as such I almost mistaken this character for shaymin
This is just GORGEOUS, like actual full length film quality
no shit. it's a thesis film.
there's a huge difference in the workflow of something put out by disney vs a small team of college students. you're being rude and downplaying the effort put in.
@@PlushKaiju No, you're missing my point. Of COURSE it's going to try and look "quality", it's a fucking COLLEGE THESIS FILM and that's their fucking JOB to make it look good.
ITS A FLYIN PUPP
Correct!
That pup is so adorable, I bet anybody would really to pet it :3
it turned out so marvelous!! phenomenally animated and the backgrounds, little critters and composition all looks so beautiful and fun as well!!
They better give you that freaking A Paula. I'm rioting if you don't
This legit has a Ghibli and chirin's bell vibe and i'm here for it !
- the fact that you made it all on your own is twice as impressive, absolutely stunning job, i'm waiting for the million views :)
Feels like a spiritual successor to Unico! The little character is so cute, and the animation is so smooth! Ah, and the backgrounds! Everything really!
Unico is actually making a comeback with a new manga series called "Unico: Awakening" arriving next month. So glad he's finally getting a return to the spotlight!
Paula! It's me!
I almost teared up. I'm so proud of you. Oh my goodness. This is beautiful. Beautiful! And I love the music. And the nuance of the other sounds.
❤
This is so beautiful! Oh my gosh, the atmosphere and the little drop with the puppy flies is so adorable. So smooth aaah
I love how the sounds of the ghosts (?) travel from the left side to the right side along with the video. It’s a very nice touch and really helps the video be more immersive.
This is adorable as it is also very sad. Imagine just waking up one day and you become the very last of your kind.
It looks so much like a Tezuka film mixed with Studio Ghibli and a bit of Ringing Bell, a work of art
Specifically Tezuka's Unico film and manga series.
I got this recommended to me, and I absolutely love this. The art style and design, the fluid animation, everything made this so pretty. I love the puppy's design, and the way the eyes were drawn. It looks like it would be an official show or movie, and one that I would watch. It's so incredibly underrated as well.
Give me a load of 2000s kids anime movies,
the style reminds of Osamu Tezuka media in the 2000s (after he passed away in 1989 sadly, but still most films based off his work were amazing from that time,)
the backgrounds are wonderfully drawn, detailed, the animation is fluid, even smooth, the character designs are pretty well done too, the music fits the film really nicely as well,
Honestly this film give me some childhood giddy I hadn't had in years, reminded me of so much Japanese related stuff from my past, so that's another reason I loved this film very much,
the inspiration is obvious, almost a love latter to those pieces of media,
honestly hope you got a good grade, or something for this film, I hope the people you showed it, and/or yourself are happy to see it come to life,
Great job all around, hopefully this gets more views, and appreciation, it deserves such,
stay safe, take you're time, and keep up the talent!
There’s no way this wasn’t inspired by unicorn but it’s soo unique in itself I just love it
You must be thinking of "Unico" which is focused on a young unicorn which is equally cute and both sad and heartfelt at the same time.
I AM SO PROUD OF YOU PAULA!!!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
This is beautiful and the movement is so fluid. also love the designs reminds me of Unico
this is the cutest thing I've ever seen. I wish it was just a tiny snippet of a whole movie or a comic of some kind! I'm already so invested in the world and characters :oD
The painted backgrounds are so pretty! I loved the artstyle of the film, so cuteee
I really really liked the spirits and how they reminded him to fly by turning into butterflies!
My favorite parts:
0:22 the little sigh awww
0:56 The facial expressions on the pup was so well done omg
1:20 I got chills!!
I love how the sprites turn into butterflies so the pup learns how to fly, this is so cute 🥹🥹
Oh.My.Goodness!This looks like the old Kimba the white Lion!So fluid animation and so sweet color palet!Amaizing!❤
those little spirits remind me of the ones found in Never Alone! These is a masterpiece, beautifully done!
It reminds me of a beautiful combination of Studio Ghibli and Cartoon Saloon! Two of my top favorite animation companies!❤
And Sanrio Animation's films (such as Ringing Bell and the Unico Film series).
This is so cute. The art style is giving me unico vibes
Same here!
I love whimsical Ghiblian films like these and I love the reference to the fu Dog statues
That dog and the Spirits are so Cute :)
Absolutely breathtaking.
This is beautiful!! 💖
The algorithm has blessed me once again!! This animation is so fluid and the colour palette has such a warm and wonderful feel to it. Honeslty deserves lots more recognition because the quality is ethereal!! Bravo :o❤
Very impressive, this is giving me Ghibli/ Unico vibes. Worthy of a 80s era feature.
THAT WAS AMAZING! Just ... Yes! I hope we see more from you in the future!
This is so adorable! Amazing work!
This is fantastic! I love the dog, the dragonflies, the butterflies… the whole thing. It’s magiik. Toki the cat must be very proud of you.
Brilliant work!! Everything from the animation to the sound design is absolutely immaculate. Couldn't be more impressed, thanks putting this out for the world to see!
Omg this is incredibly beautiful!
this is honestly one of the most charming thesis films ive watched like EVER
even though theres no dialogue theres still so much personality put into everything and the environment just feels so real almost like youre actually there
theres such a calming feeling that comes with watching this and it makes me want to learn more about the story of this little critter and just the world theyre in in general!!
im absolutely in love with this film and im really looking forward to seeing if you post anything else in the future! if you do, im sure itll be amazing
HOW DID I NOT SEE THIS SOONER OMGGG. This is such a beautiful amazing animation, the vibes are so magical and you captured the feeling of flight so well in this!
Very nice! Such nostalgic feelings from the style and character. It brought a smile to my face to imagine either the spirits or the spirits of the pup's ancestors were helping them fly to boost their esteem until their wings became stronger.
I know!! This was so beautiful, I enjoyed every second of it! It was so interesting
I love the cheering of the spirits in the end
The tezuka esc vibes from this film is incredible! Utterly love this!!
This was amazing! Beautiful! Magical! I'd watch a full movie with this adorable puppy and the spirits and what adventures they might have together!
OMG the animation and backgrounds are amazing and the Osamu Tezuka vibes with the art style…beautiful
I have no words, yet I must comment how wonderful this is!
no wonder paula is sleepy... must've taken so much out of you. what a dreamy film.
Ma'am this is so beautiful, is like studio ghibli level of quality and fluidity. I glad youtube recommended me this. 😍
HOW DOES THIS ONLY HAVE 5k VIEWS?!?! THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!
That was unbelievably cute
gives me ghibli vibes with a Osamu Tezuka inspiration for the character, looks really good!
He looks like a cross between Kimba the white lion and Kaiba!! Absolutely adorable style, fantastic art and scenery, and GORGEOUS animation!!! Well done!!! :D
(and no i don't mean kaiba from yugioh lol)
And what about Unico?
Dude omg this is amazing! The animation is so fluid and pretty and the backgrounds are gorgeous
That was absolutely lovely!
The tippy taps of the paws were so satisfying to listen to and I adored the sound of the bell 💛
Wild how it typically takes a whole team to make stuff this magical and high quality.
I notice a lot of the best artists are the ones who take wonderful works that existed prior and seek to bring that same magic into the modern day. Uninspired art is just filler, this is a true work of art. I could only wish to see this concept brought into a full length film.
I absolutely love this, from that first emotional nuzzle to the statue, to the gorgeous backgrounds and the pretty background music.
If it's possible to go further with this, this would make a great comic, great mini cartoon, or even an amazing idea for a video game Spyro style
This is legitimately one of the most beautiful thesis film animations I've ever seen. Flawless execution, fun idea, perfect soundtrack. Just all around awesome. EXTREMELY underrated work.
This needs to be a movie
Great thesis film! I really like the choice of the color pallete here, wouldn't be alone to probably compare it a bit to Ghibli movies. Also i gotta express how I adore the details you did put into body language and facial expressions. Melancholy, curiosity, doubt, motivation, astonishment and then finally happiness. Even sprites themselves have a lot of going on, which makes the scene in 1:24 - 1:33 even more impactful. Makes the whole story feel even more charming. Body language and facial expressions are great story telling tool. They tell you a lot about the character, how they feel in regards of their surroundings and how they break from being afraid to leave a safe space of theirs to push their boundaries to explore something completely new. All movements are also very fluid, lots of work was put into making the animation feel alive.
So again, great animation. Big thanks to you, the composer and everyone else that supported you along the way - all of that lead to this fantastic piece of art that I am sure many will appreciate. Wish you lots of luck for future endeavours!
The cuteness, the enviorement, the quality, this is all amazing!
LOOOVED WATCHING THIS AT THE FESTIVAL THANK YOU FOR BEING SUCH AN INSPIRATION!! also congrats on graduating!!!!!
A bowl of strawberries can get more views than an amazing animation? This needs WAY more attention! Literally some of the best animation I’ve seen!
People on Social Media are usually only liking real shit. They dont even know what is good anymore.
This is SO hecking cool! This is so beautiful, the character is so hecking cute, too ;w;
Thanks a ton for sharing, and I wish you all the best for the future, you're an awesome animator!
I want a full length series of this✨✨✨
This made me smile :) So heartwarming and the puppy is ADORABLE I'd love a whole series of this little character and a plushie too! 😍
The puppy's design is so adorable!! The animations were so fluid & graceful, too.
this is stunning!! the animation is so lively and smooth, the backgrounds are so pretty (they remind me of studio ghibli or the legend of louxiaohei), and the puppy is adorable. highly rewatchable!
this looks AMAZING! its so peaceful and professional looking. like oh my word. you deserve so much attention
Glad this was in my recommendations! The animation is so smooth and captures that magical old school era while still being modern, the style and palette were so nice to look at, and the music was absolutely delightful! It also hooked me in really quick and said so much even without dialogue, the emotions were so clear and vivid from the scenery to the expressions. This was very well-made and reminds me of why I love 2D animation so much!
I know the adorable puppy character deserves a lot of praise, but the forest sprite designs are so creative!! I love how they shift into all kinds of animal forms, and even shift into butterflies to remind the pup how to fly. Soooo good and fun to watch.
I love this so much, the animation and the visuals, If this ever becomes a film in the far future, I'd definitely watch!
amazing to see this again! this is just so beautiful, paula, and it was a blast to see it take shape. you are truly going places 💗💗 congratulations to you and your adorable puppy!
Ooo omg it’s so fluid and fresh:DD I love the detailed backgrounds-the colors are like candy for my eyes!!! Super cute puppy :D

the greens in your backgrounds are so vibrant and gorgeous it makes me tear up!!!! Wonderful film 🥲
This is so great! The colors are awesome and it's so fluid. I love the character designs and the story makes me want to learn more
the bell allows for so many sfx during movement that otherwise would have been quiet, really energizes the whole animation even further, great work
This is giving me Pokémon and Song of the Sea vibes and I love it
this is so good! The animation is smooth and the colours are absolutely stunning
This gave me goosebumps, made me feel like a child watching Studio Ghibli films for the first time again
This is so incredibly well animated, and with such beautiful backgrounds as well!
Paula your film is so gorgeous, and your animation is amazing as always!!! Love your film!!!
This randomly popped up on my UA-cam feed and I'm so happy it did! This is so cute, and expressive! Lovely work 💕💕

Well this is just lovely. The art style and animation are a treat to watch, and major kudos to the composer, too!
This is absolutely gorgeous, really beautiful artstyle, I love the puppys design so much.
AHHH this is so inspiring! I'm gonna be attending LCAD for animation starting this fall and seeing a thesis pop up on my feed is surreal! I'm super excited to start attending in a few weeks. good luck with all your future endeavors! :]
It's really giving off some Unico vibes. I LOVE ITTTTT
THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL HOLY SHIT!!!!! THIS NEEDS MORE ATTENTION ITS SO PRETTY!!!!!
Paulaaaaa!!!!!! Congrats on finishing your film, it's absolutely phenomenal! Watching this again, I'm not only impressed by the quality and expressiveness of your animation and background design, but the pacing as well! The story flows so well from shot to shot, keeping the energy up and synchronized with the music - a very underrated skill that reminds me of Bambi (one my favorite films, lol) as much as the works of Ghibli. It's been wonderful watching it come together, and I can't wait to see what you make in the future! You should be super proud of yourself :DDD
This is the most adorable and wholesome thing I've ever seen!
Very cute and the backgrounds are gorgeous. Can't imagine how long this took.
love the Tezuka (Unico/Chirin) style vibe youve got going
Gorgeous!!!!! Congrats, Paula. So so proud of you.
AAAAAAH this is so lovely!
I wish nothing but the best for these silly creatures
This is SO well made. So hecking beautiful. I love it so much. The painted backgrounds charmed me instantly, and all the movement is very fluid and natural. You did so fantastic 💚💚💚
