I think frequently about the fact that for almost every product created, there's at least one person who had to think about the design. I bet the people that made this toy would be happy to know that their work doesn't go unappreciated, even if it's just a kids toy.
And not only that: designers have to also consider whether or not the piece they need can even be fabricated and, if so, how. I studied Industrial Design for 6 years an many times it felt like a nightmare. I go back to those times whenever I'm transforming one of the modern Transformers/Beast Wars and see how INSANELY complex those things are. Those designers must have gone through hell on Earth figuring out how to make those things. Probably caused a few break-ups, lol.
It’s that kind of idea that led me to notice the more human/emotive elements in design, function is always the primary goal, but to add a little heart on top of that says a lot.
While this is VERY boring for adults, there is a phase in human development, where you just realize clear patterns of cause and effect ACTIVELY. This can more rapidly be done, by having a predictable fast mechanism to be triggered repeatedly, without annoying too many people. Or the child just keeps using the light switch of the room.
yes, you have to mass produce these things at a viable price point, so you put a lot of engineering into getting reliable performance out of a minimum of machinery
Wow, excellent work as always Jared! Love the pacing of your audio and animation. Just super easy to follow and makes it pleasant to watch. I'm also very amazed at your modeling skills with these little pieces. Also, the fact that you've released 4 videos in the time that I'm still working on the same one says a lot. I'm having some serious imposter syndrome. Just super slow at what I do :( Anyway, keep up the fantastic work man. You're very very talented!
Thank u this must have taken tons of hours to render! Imagine if they taught engineering classes or anything with that matter with this amount of visual representation and payed someone to make high quality blender renders like these for learning everything. Learning would be so much easier for visual learners it would be amazing
Now I only waits for Jared to release a video. Super cool animations Jared. Good job. Some topics that I want to know- 1. How L.E.D. works 2. How DC and AC generator works 3. How a normal car works Thanks Jared . Hope you will reply
Thank you! 16 yrs ago, Emma put a Disney fairy inside of it. Pulled it out with tweezers. Today, Cameron put a checker piece in it. I attempted to take it apart, but oh....I ruined it. Thank you for this! Instructions were wonderful. We can use it again! ❤
This video saved me a LOT of trouble. I opened our toy to get out all the little "surprises" stuck inside, and for the life of me coukdnt figure out how to put back the little white plastic parts. My 2 year old wanted the toy back, the 3 year old wanted to "help" and i was nursing the baby to keep her quiet. Thank you Jared for assisting my DIY toy re-assembly today.
I watched anyway because I love how you explain things and fully enjoy watching your animations, but I already figured out how these toys work thanks to my older nephew. When he was a toddler, he had a toy very similar to this one but two of the doors wouldn't pop up all of a sudden and no one could figure out why, so (after my sister bought a new one for him), I took it apart and found a bunch of raisins under the two levers of the doors that wouldn't open. When she asked him about it, he told her that he didn't want the animals to get hungry, so he would put the raisins on the platforms while the doors were open, then would push the doors closed, which of course dropped the raising to the bottom of the toy's interior where they accumulated under the two levers. Thanks for helping me remember that, thinking about it while I typed it out made me smile.
the great thing about your videos is that they are suitable for all ages, I'm 36 and was watching this with my 6 years old child and we were very excited. Thank you very much.
When i started learning a new language I began by reading children's stories and watching cartoons in that language, this is a great video as a way to start learning the basics of engineering and it's sad that most folks don't see that you have to crawl before you can walk. It may not have gotten many views but I assure you a lot of us still enjoyed watching it.
I love how this is the same channel that does things like breakdowns of how spacecraft work. That's genuine, not sarcastic, btw. It speaks a lot to the engineering mindset to give the same curiosity and care to things that are self-evidently complex and things that are easy to write off and see as simple. I think a lot of people, myself included, get an ego about such things that make it difficult to see ingeniously simple solutions.
Love the dedication and effort put into these models and animations! I'd love to see a followup to your videos from 5 years ago on how you get your animations so streamlined, since it's clear you've put a lot of effort into refining the process over the years! I'd also be interested in an episode on how airplane/hospital ventilation systems work, just to throw an idea into the void.
So this is what I'm doing as a 40 year old alone on a Saturday night... watching a video about how a toy works. Regardless of my observation, still a fascinating video. Thanks for all of these, really enjoying them!
The animations are so well done, like always. They tell us the construction and working in a coherent and comprehensible way. And I really liked the BGM this time.
I am a visual learner, and your videos take any concept and make it enjoyable to watch. You have good pacing and interesting visuals. Everything made needed to be engineered. Thanks for a great video.

As an artist, engineer, toy lover, and lifelong learner, I am super geeking out over your channel! Clean, smooth animation with clear depictions and audio descriptions at just the right pace. I wish I had found you in elementary or high school, but I am definitely glad I stumbled upon you now. Thank you for all the time and effort you have put into this (I can only imagine how much).
Wow your modeling is scary good. Thank you for over explaining basic mechanics with a baby toy. My 28 year old baby brain is delighted by the colors and animals.
I think the ingenuity put into such a simple thing with only one purpose and use is incredible. So much thought and design for a little simple persons enjoyment.
Thank you for this video :) You just saved me a whole lot of toddler meltdowns as I needed to take the toy apart and had no idea how complex it was on the inside!
Oh man I can't tell u how much I love your videos.. you spark my "hidden" curiosity in engineering every time you upload a video.. only wish is that u would upload wayy more frequent
I had something like this, when I was small. My dad would sometimes sneak pennies, and other things in it. It was a board with doors, and there was a bunch of ways to open them. It was AWESOME
My kids jammed some other toys into the mechanism I needed to open it up to remove the other toys and I couldn’t figure out how to put it back together after all the pieces fell out of place. This video was a life saver
After taking it apart and fishing out all of the coins my kids put in it, your video was a terrific reference for how to reassemble! And the toy works great still! Thanks!
Makers of video games and digital-based toys think they're the clever ones, but our old manual toys are what really took cleverness to figure out how to get them to work!
Popular toy for decades & simple design, yet you make it very fascinating with the animation & description! Thanks for the education & entertainment. 🙂
I am once again extremely fascinated with the engineering of what seems to be simple kids toys! Who would've thought of this to teach kids how to use real life switches and things. Awesome animation and explanation as always man!! Keep it up, and looking forward to more :D
My three year old says to tell you that this video makes him even more into this toy. He loves your videos. He wants a video about how a radio tuning dial works (like on a tivoli). Thanks!
Jared My Man. Good to see you back after a gap. Hope everything has been straightened out back at home and all are keeping well. Have fun and keep up your good work as always

Now I only waits for Jared to release a video. Super cool animations Jared. Good job.
Some topics that I want to know-
1. How L.E.D. works
2. How DC and AC generator works
3. How a normal car works
Thanks Jared .
Hope you will reply
Nice ideas
When you mean by ‘normal car’ you mean the combustion engine?
Yo
These videos are sooooo cool
Haha, imagine he disintegrates his car to make the video.

Man The Amount Of Hardwork Went Into This Video Is Tremendous.
Only Animators Can Feel The Pain.
Why Are You Typing Like That
Yeah Why Is He Typing Like That I Hate It When People Type Like That
@@HarnaiDigital It's fine, I was just joking, but I still don't really like it. Carry on if you want.
it is absolutely amazing that I mastered these 5 distinct actuators without ever having seen or played with this toy

It is a good day when Jared Owen uploads. This video brought back memories of me playing with this toy.
I just love when he releases new videos..he makes complex things simple
I think that this is the only UA-cam channel that does not have any type of spammers in the comments damn your hardwork

This is beautiful, simple yet beautiful
Finally,HES BACK!
He was probably researching on animate skills or something like that
The level of animation is at another level
I started like: - What?! SERIOUSLY! 🤨
And end up watching all the way and liking. 👍😎
So much dedication on a simple toy.
the great thing about your videos is that they are suitable for all ages, I'm 36 and was watching this with my 6 years old child and we were very excited. Thank you very much.
Animation is getting better, Great Job Jared!
The coolest channel in all of UA-cam is your channel

My childhood was a lot more complicated than I thought!
I've always been fascinated by this sort of thing. I remember as a kid I wanted to pull one apart to figure out how it works
I really like the simple engineering of some things. It's cheap, functional and practical
I didnt know That even such small items have so much mechanism in them
Hmmmmmm, not the video I expected, but the nostalgia is real
Thanks Mr Jared. Wanted this very badly
I think the ingenuity put into such a simple thing with only one purpose and use is incredible. So much thought and design for a little simple persons enjoyment.

wtf isnt simple abt this
Hey. I was worried about you. How is your wife? Is everything okay? Can you also make a video on how space suits work.

the legend has come.......
I thought the title was “the popping pills toy”
Same, I then rushed to click the video.
I can't for more videos like this one.
Showing the disassembly is such a nice touch
Fact: Sometimes the first person isn’t the first to comment
Yea. I was prolly second.
So true
The real question is how do they move when Andy leaves the room?
Your animations look very interestingly realistic
Thank you for this video :) You just saved me a whole lot of toddler meltdowns as I needed to take the toy apart and had no idea how complex it was on the inside!

Omg, I have one of those when I was little.
I’m 16 now but I still remember me trying opening them all at once when I was 5
