If i saw a Sea Dragon selling fish, i would know he’d be the best of the best when it comes to great catches.
I’d buy from them anyday
same here
I would totally buy them, hell i hate fish but i would love to support them to see them happy and be their friend
Yes, same ^^ gosh I wish dragon people were real. That would be so cool
@@onnetsu1963aaa yes ^^ me exactly lol
Great minds think alike.
Love the character design (:
Nicely done!
Same here!!
they are cute
It's you! Do you only create porn now? Haven't seen sfw or anything really un awhile.
One of the horsemen
agreed
If people are curious why the film is going offline Monday: it’s being submitted to festivals, which usually require that a short not be posted publicly or online.
Once it’s done with the festival run, I’m guessing they will put it up again :)
WOO
Ok glad i foujd this before it was taken down then😊 its cute as hecc
I'ma guess this is up now lol
@@doodlefox.0.5 seems so.
wait, why would that be a requirement for a film festival?
I know the reason they’re freaked out by him, he’s not wearing pants.
LOL ACTUALLY THATS PROBABLY IT.
The woman looked mad and everyone else was shocked. I mean hes even talking to children with no pants on.
It's bittersweet that his only friend turned out to be another dragon. Also the act of them blinking differently was well done
If the creator sees this, please don’t take the animation down! I can’t stop you but it’s cute and relatable to some people. The anim has already reached a lot of people and I’m sure it’ll continue to do so :)
Well, they’ll certainly take it down since it’s in a Festival Run BUT the creator said it’ll be permanently public in about a year after the run so I think it’s best to be patient
@@Korbyxd399 lmao I've already downloaded it so whatever
@@tbotalpha8133 Just don't repost it as your own, please.
@@Korbyxd399 ooh what does it mean that it's in a festival run? Are they legally bound by something?
@@Korbyxd399 Whats a Festival Run?
UPDATE: ok you guys win, film staying public for an extra 12 HOURS!! (read desc), thanks so much for all the love and practically steamrolling through every milestone I had thought of for the release, THANKS for 80K VIEWS!!! GRACIAS!!
Why is this a limited release, anyway? Are you going to charge money for this?
Eyyy nice! :D
@@FoxBlocksHere Check the replies in the top comment. In short: It's apparently due to some legal reasons which makes it so that this video can't be up during the film festival. But good news: apparently the creator said that this will be back online in like a year from now!
@@sanukatharul1497 Okay, good.
I mean it has been up for 7 months now xD@@sanukatharul1497
As a professional dragon lover, this is amazing
How is loving dragons a profession?
@@BUnitMN-T You a cop?
fr fr, if i was a human there, that dragon would not be safe around me >:)
This shows that even if you are different to other people, doesn't mean that they are all the same, one person will be brave enough to meet you and will have the same difference as you.
I thought this was about immigration. Foreigner, struggling to speak the same dialect as locals, others don't respect him as he tries to establish a business and create a fresh start, sort of thing. But there will always be others in similar situations as you and it's the adversity each of face that bonds you even more.
@Bobzilla The Baby Kicker tbh it could be any person with a difference but yeah i get that
@@bobzillathebabykicker2981 hi bobzilla? I from. ua-cam.com/video/IzqQmnmhNNw/v-deo.html Because? :'(
The depths of the ocean can’t exactly exist without the bright sun right? So why should saving graces exist without darkness being present first.
More like : minorities can only be friends with other minorities.
This was wholesome and so beautiful to look at. Wondeful character design and environment. Well done.
as a peruvian, this video hits different knowing the current issues with inmigration. i can't help but feel overwhelmed every time i watch this short. i hope things get better for señor seadragon and for inmigrants around the world too. much love ❤
I felt sure it was speaking to difficulties immigrants face, as well. Yours is the first comment I saw that mentioned it.
There will come a time, if humanity persists, when countless people will envy the era we live in. When all of us were together. Before we spread out so very far and wide, before the population becomes an unknowable number. And they will regret what impact they might have had, if only they had lived at a time when all of civilization was nestled here upon this cradle that is our Earth.
And they won't understand how it was, really. They'd see the interconnectedness, the possibilities held within proximity, but probably not the divisions, prejudices, and stubbornness that keep people apart.
I know that might not tie to the crisis that I know nothing about, except, maybe, in this one way:
I hope we realize how precious this moment in time is, before we lose it. To be better. To come together to solve seemingly insurmountable challenges. And to be kind, wherever and whenever and however we can.
Because a century from now, or two, or five, reaching all of our civilization will be an impossibility. And a distant recluse like me would never find an animation like this, and run into someone like you, if you all were so truly distant.
Anyway. That sentiment came to mind. It doesn't make a crisis better, I know. It may only make it more bitter, seeing this era wasting so much potential. But that's the wrong way of looking at it, I think. Because we're still all in this together, even if far too many have yet to notice. And because the potential for an individual to shape and amend our civilization will only diminish from here on out, it means there's still time for us to get it right for /all/ who follow. And whatever we do, for good or for ill, we will never have more power than we do here and now.
Case in point: Thousands of miles away, and a month later, I'm going to learn about what's going on with Peru. It's virtually certain I can't do a thing about it. But life has a funny aspect to it, where the littlest of gestures can end up changing entire life trajectories.
And besides, with 8 Billion people on Earth, the sum of all human experience and knowledge increases 22,000,000 years worth of advancement, every single day; that's a billion human-years (like "man hours") of experiences accumulated every 45 days.
Whatever problem one runs into, there's a virtual certainty someone, somewhere has solved it. And any solution you find, someone, somewhere probably needs it.
It's just a matter of connections, and humans are great at that. ^.-

This was so beautiful!! This is so reminiscent of how immigrants are treated when they first arrive in a whole new place, they can't speak the language and have trouble communicating with the locals. And as such, in some cases, seen as a "monster" the outcast. I really enjoyed how you conveyed those feelings with mythal creatures, and held on at the end with another dragon being kind to him and becoming close friends. Man I really needed to see this. Reminds us to never judge a book by its cover, especially if there a shy giant lovable dragon trying to fit in🥰💖🙏🏻
Yes, also a whole big feeling of the "they're stealing our jobs" when the fisher lady was gossiping about him.
Aww, a big, gentle-seadragon trying to make his way in an unfamiliar place, good to see he found a friend! :D
This was absolutely spectacular! Animation, music, designs, the whole shebang! ^.^
Ah we meet again .. like some other who is famous through the comment section
Dude I see you everywhere lol
Oh for fuck sakes.
i think I played l4d2 with this fella once
@@TacoKing75 Fairly likely! I used to play it so much lol.
oh i actually cried over how happy they are talking over the phone and everything throughout the credits,
Just a beautiful short with wonderful animation and designs that made me feel something for the first time in a while,
Please. Don’t just make this one amazing animation and then disappear forever like other small animators do.. I would love to see more content like this from you in the future.
Aw, this is definately going on my heart-warming story playlist. I adore the art style, and sound, and story, and love these adorable characters!
It’s going offline tmr tho so it’s not going to be on for long
But it will be back in about a year, it's just that it'll be taken down for film festivals but it'll be back permanently in a while!
@@zenoluvswof9936 oh...
@@TheSourOnion 10 days later its still here.
@@Nicolai-Syn6 months later it’s still here
Its in moments like this , that i truly feel alive ...
Art and my friends , those are the two biggest and most impotant things to me , the reasons why im still here to this day .
Animations like this one are responsable for making my heart beat .
It just ... lights a flame so pleasant inside me that makes every effort it can to make me smile , i feel it inside my smile , inside my foot as it unconsciously hits the floor in exitement , animations like this make me thankful to live in this world , with so many beautiful artists , even if it might sound a bit exagerated , or like im giving too much credit for a simple animation , i just wanted to say this really made my day , and that i will sleep incredibly happy now , so that in the future i might be able to make someone smile with my art , like this animation did , and to the artists responsable for this , thank you all , i don't know how often you hear this type of thing from a stranger but i just wanted to say that you guys are truly wonderful , and if this doesn't even get to be seen by you , i am really happy to write it , put some of my emotions out of my head for everyone to see , i wish for happiness and the best of life for everyone reading this and im out to sleep .
A little extra : (The designs are so cute i almost punched the wall and woke up my whole family , its 2:00 right now and i still want to scream from how adorable and good the designs were)
Oh don't worry, I'm archiving most of this as a hall of fame like thing! :)
@@sanukatharul1497 Certainly happy to hear that :3
I second this with every word!
Lol you said the thing right out of my own head too! Sleep well! And let’s find solace we will find solace together in this animation and many others, even if we never meet :D thanks for this human connection
@@yvonbergner8022 It feels amazing to know im not the only one that feels this way, art is something else isn't it ? The way it makes us happy, the way it makes us share this conection with each other, truly amazing ideed :D
(Thanks for the good night, certainly sleeping well today just like the day i wrote the comment ;3 )
The animation is great and very touching, though it's kind of bittersweet, since the only comfort the main character finds is in a limited group of others just like him, after all his effort to reach out and belong as equals with everybody.
Now I want an entire series about these two
man it’s gonna be so sad when this gets unnus annus’d, it’s a great short, the animation is fantastic and the story is engaging, some seriously commendable talent went into this
Don't worry though! This will be back up in about a year, it's only being taken down because of stuff to do with showing it at film festivals^^
Oh, good to hear it'll be back!
Ah yes, a person of culture who understands the passing of unus annus, memento mori.
Skriddle? Skittle? Skerdle? Skriller? Scraddle? Skiddert?
Personally if I saw this creature, id give if it a big hug.
I was a little confused about the plot until I saw the video description which explains everything, thank you for making this, it's really good
3:31 Plot Twist : Blue Dragon is Shunt by Humans Only because he doesn't wear Pants
Lmao
I think he does they are just under the shirt, still would be funny though
1:04 where ? @@tikitere
3:44 you can see them
@@tikitere that explains the more acceptance the old lady have to him He Finally Wear Pant
The art style is so wonderfully beautiful, and I'm glad the main character found a friend(maybe more than that, even) by the end!
This is fantastic. I love it!! The little red dragon is so sassy and fun, I loved him breaking into the big guy's shell that he was forming and showing him the town. I aspire to be one of those people to someone who needs it.
I think this has a point to make about immigrants. The feeling of loneliness and alienation but the meeting of a friendly face from a known world eases the pain one feels from Isolation. All in all, good film.
We need more animation like this in our lives, as they help teach good lessons.
- teach good lessons
Such as...?
@@stretopovermind9680 That finding a place to fit in is possible, even in places where we normally wouldn't.
@@stretopovermind9680 If you ever see any Lizardfolk immigrants in your town, buy from their business and be their friend.
Oh my god, the sound design, the character design, everything about this is VERY cool. I love this.
Im a sucker for interesting Character designs and voices who fit with them and honestly didn't expect this to be 18h ago normally when an animation of this quality in back in 2014-2018 nice to see new talents
This is quite pleasant. There's something simple here, something that's said so delightfully basic, yet truly relatable. No overarching complexity and superfluous narrative ballast, weighing down what is, at its heart, a tragically human experience.
I'm also politely a sucker for sea monsters.
I love this short! Thank you so much for making it!
I love this film!
It kinda hits close to me as an Autistic individual with a non-human complex.
Being different in the ways I am, results in me talking and acting different than those around me, which in the judgmental world we live in today, isn't the best.
Yet no matter how many people call me strange or laugh at me, I try to remember I'm not alone. I've been lucky enough to find others who understand and respect me.
Remember, no matter how scary the world may seem, you're not alone. Stay safe, mortals!

You are not alone out there.
@@drakkondarkspell is that a threat
Thank you! Me too, and I was thinking that as well while watching this, but I figured I was alone.. turns out I'm not 💙
@@bloodakoos It's a comforting threat.

@@Trinket-mossi feel relaxed and threatened at the same time
Please make this an series😭
I want more of him it’s such a good story so far and I would love to see more
The animation done for this dragon's emotions are amazing! Good job to all the people who worked on this film!
I know that the short is going offline on the 18th, but if you're able, please keep it online a bit longer. I's very lovely, and it would be a bit of a shame to see it leave so soon.
Beautiful, would love to see this as a series lol. Dragon just running his small business trying to get by, would be epic ngl.
I’m glad I happened across this and got to see it in this limited window! It’s so wonderful! Sometimes, all you need is a friend to keep you anchored through the initial tough times.
This was so adorable! The doodle-y style of animation looks really smooth and I adore it!
10/10!!! BEST MONSTER LOVE SHORT! Its so refreshing to see an animation where the monster/ creature finds peace and belonging.
What a cute little animation, in just 4 minutes its already made me feel a connection and made me feel emotions, not many people can do that this well through their art but you have. Love the characters design too they are very nice on the eyes! Sometimes we always feel a little homesick and unwelcomed but remember that you aren't and there are always people there for you even if it feels like they're hidden away sometimes you just have to push yourself a little to find them.
I felt this animation almost on a personal level
I was shunned and laughed for my job path constantly being dont "people with autism and ADHD can be chefs" because i was different
Its been about 5 years now and im still standing strong
WE'RE SO BACK
funnies aside, this animation is so amazing, i love it to bits
The sound, art, voices, everything just clicks so well together
Hope you make more wonderful works of art like this in the future
This is amazing! I honestly wanna see another part to it. Please continue making animations like this one! ❤
This makes my heart melt. I keep rewatching it so I can remember as much as I can before it goes down for a whole year!
Your animation is incredible! I would love to see more! I relate to this so much. And the fact that it's a blue scaly creature means more than you think.
An amazing metaphor for anyone othered by society
This has made me incredibly emotional incredibly fast over very small details, I applaud you, what a masterpiece I love these guys and would love to see more of them in the future!!
That was so strangely pleasant to watch on my Monday. Thank you for this 😊
I would honestly love for this to be turned into a series such an amazing work of art
What a such cute and wonderful animation! I really love that big, gentle, innocent seadragon making his way in an unknown place for him, and I almost cried when everyone laughed at him. But I ended up crying anyways when he made a friend of his same species, hanging out with his new dragon friend, and sitting together on the beach looking at the stars~♡
I hope to see more of this duo living in a human town. It deserves a long animation or more short episodes~
That goes straight to the Animation Inspiration playlist!
This was really well done! It's clear that a lot of passion went into this! I hope to see more from you in the future!
why is it unlisted??? this was amzaing!!!!
It will be put back its part of this video festival event thing or something like that. So it cant be available till a bit after i believe.
What a delightful little film! I'm glad I had this show up on my timeline. I made sure to share this with my own friends so they could watch it as well!
Oh my goddess... when they were afraid and others were laughing, it hurt my heart, but the beauty of the ending made me cry all over again for the best of reasons! This is an incredibly lovely story, and it needs to be seen by more people! Be you an immigrant, on the spectrum, on the rainbow, disabled, or a minority of any other kind, you deserve kindness and decency, and finding others like yourself can be a beautiful blessing in a world that is often harsh and cruel.
The expressions, the character design, the story telling, the backgrounds, the sound, it’s so good! I would definitely watch more of this
I love it!
Heard about it some time ago, and even got reminded of it a day before it's release, but ended up forgetting the name, so I was just fervently waiting for it to appear back on my feed. It did now! And it's adorable!
I relate to this a lot. It is so heartwarming. Wonderful animated video ^^ Thank you for making it!
idk why but i need this to be a series that i can binge watch everyday, also nice animation and story too keep up the good work
Honestly same
I was so sad when the credits started playing, I want to see so much more of these two and their world
It's just so cozy and cute
hands down THE BEST ANIMATED SHORT IVE EVER SEEN- THIS IS SO CUTE
This was so precious I LOVE IT and the sound design is amazing!
This was really comforting, my community is similar, I do not blame them they are just not used to much difference between eachother with it being a small community, this hit it pretty well the anxiety but also the wonder of finding someone welcoming
Here before this blows up!! This is so well made ❤
I would love a whole series building this kind of world. I love the Draconic language. It sounds like a mix of the dragonspeak from Dragons of Wayward Crescent/The Last Dragon Chronicles and something real.
I love this I hope there’s more whether it be more short stories or an entire series or even just a couple more episodes I hope this finds the audience that needs it most
I love literally everything about this. The colours, the music (I’m a sucker for whistles), the character design, and the spoken dialogue, just everything. Beautiful work!
The animation is very impressive! Great job! And the story is pretty great, I just like how these cute dragons intact with one another.
*"Some people... they'll never accept him..."*
disappointed nodding turns to hopeful smiling~
*"But it seems like... he's found someone that'll help him find the good ones."*
(Yes, LUCA, and this short is much closer to how I think the movie could/should have ended. Wonderfully executed, FER~CI. Mer~ci beaucoup~!)
This is such an increasible short with stellar animation and such a cute story ^^ please continue to do your craft because it is amazing and brightened my day at least. Also I realy felt bad for the dragon in the begining ;^; i just wanted to give him a hug but im happy he found a friend
This is quite literally the cutest thing I’ve seen all week!!
I’m so glad there was a happy ending as well, + absolutely beautiful animation.
That’s so damn amazing! Best animation I have seen all year!
i love this so much. their visual design and language are so so cool!! would love to know about the process behind designing the language. i need more of this :'(
This is amazing !! I hope to see more of these cuties again in the future !!!id be so down to watch a few seasons of these guys lives /tribulations and how they over come them !
It’s hard to find good animation nowadays, thanks for the short!
(You should totally make more of this world, I love the use of a conlang, and I love the character designs!)
Goodbye to this masterpiece of an animation in less than a minute from now
I love this short movie, the animation and the character is stunning! I wish to give a hug to that poor creature tho, it deserves more love😕❤️
I love the part at 1:59, just drawing attention to the physicality being a scaled creature for a second, with no reason other than to do so, it honestly just fills me with joy.
I think this is one of my favorite animated shorts on the platform, mostly because of how much of the story and feeling is told through animation touches, like the one mentioned, or how the humans see the mc, or how the humans are portrayed in simplified way suggesting they are being seen by someone who isn't used to their faces. Even if the conflict and resolution isn't particularly sophisticated, it doesn't matter cause the story has already been told through its presentation.
I dont mind being late to the party-- this is very heartwarming and i love it!! As someone who grew up with a lot of Portuguese heritage, I've definitely been on the end of the red dragon before. an american butcher or baker can try, sure. but its not the same. its never the same... some of my fondest sociocultural memories have been at the fish market, its lovely to see, lovely to hear. Thank you so much for this now permanently public work of art
As someone possessing the experience of being high functioning, while being on the further end of the austin spectrum, this film really hit close to home. Anytime I step outside, I have to wear a hat and sunglasses to not be overestimated. This gives me an unorthodox apprence, people assume I'm just a sketcky character because of the hat and glassess, i just want to have community. It has been a long time since I've seen such related themes presented in media so incredibly effectively. Subbed
this is. aboslutely amazing and describes how social anxiety is perfectly, i want more of this character now
I love this short! ❤ It's simple, short, beautiful, and effective! ❤
Lovely designs and the story is touching, it is sad that only someone of his own kind reached out to him, however. It is unexpectedly a good example of how society ostracizes what it refuses to understand.
Beautiful! I hope this continues.
you know iv always wanted to be an animator and seeing small time animators like you give me so much happiness and motivation i hope to see a part 2 to this and thank you
THIS IS SO CUTE, OH MY GOODNESS!! Definitely one of my favorite animations ever!! ❤
Congrats to eveyone involved!!
I'd watch an entire series of this.
I do thinks that this is a very good bit of animation storytelling piece and nice arts i likes seeing artist creative ideas good luck with your work and craft
It was sad yet cute and wholesome at the end
Its sad that this short will go offline in a day, so please keep it up!
I loved this so much!! (Extra points cause i love dragons) I’m so happy our protagonist was able to find some support during this time. I hope someday the humans will accept him. Also, the music was so pleasing to listen to! Fantastic job!! 😊😊
I love these tiny animated films i find every once in a while on UA-cam each one is always great to watch
This video made my night so much better. Thank you!
this is so lovely and heart warming
Im so happy I saved the link :) please dont private
I love him, absolutely stunning work. Your ability to draw emotion from limited dialogue and show emotion through body is impeccable. Absolutely stunning work!!
This animation is beautiful, it made me feel worm inside. Thank you for making this.
Aw... This is beautiful.
What a shame that there's only a limited time to watch this.
OH MY GOD SO CUTE AND NICE THE ANIMATION It's vivid and beautiful, the characters are very well done
