This made me think of a child growing up with an imaginary friend. That imagination can help through tough or scary times. Sadly they eventually grow out of belief that they are real but the memories of that friend never go away.

If you’re interested about knowing more about this, consider researching about the word “tulpamancy”.

I see it as a story of growing up. Leaving childhood to go and learn with a mentor and when that time was done, returning to the tribe with the skills needed to survive. As for in-world lore, seeing all the other stones in the water made me think that the mentor creature is created as part of the ritual. They are there to teach and help the child grow and learn. When they are successful (as shown with the fire) the time of mentorship is done and they must let go.

Who ever disliked this video, do you realize how long and how much work it takes to make an animation I know for sure I can't do this btw great video!

She could hug in gratitude. Not fair!

I don’t understand really the moral of this. The animation is good but really in reality no child would be happy to leave there parents knowing they may never see them again. And she basically grew up with the pastel Bigfoot so how is she so okay with leaving him forever? I’m sorry for any kind of criticism. It was still good tho!

@trashyfangirl2394

Not all animations have to have moral this one just shows a short story and the reason why she's okay with having to leave her guardian is the same way why when you grow old enough your okay when you have to leave your parents house as you grow up you got to be your own you can't always be with your parents/ Guardian and even though it will be a little sad when you leave you know you're destined to start the rest of your life with what you have learned from your parents/Guardians weather that being how to pay your taxes or how to start a fire

She obviously didn't know that was going to happen to the guardian. As for her not being ok leaving her parents. If it was the way of life? If every single kid (or a chosen few? To me it seemed maybe they were going to see if they had what it took to eventually be tribal elders) did the same, and the kid grew hearing nothing and knowing nothing else they'd be sad but fine with it

The most exclusive magical boarding school ever. One student per teacher and you don't have to deal with them during those messy "growing up" years. Plus, when the student graduates, the teacher turns to stone, so no pension to pay out.

Que incrível história linda amei ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

This was so nice! I didn’t like how the arms and legs were quite inflated and that the characters moved a bit slowly but the inflated arms and legs go better with the clay like animation texture and the slow characters can always be improved on. The story was great as it showed the relationship grow between the creature and the girl and it made it quite (spolier alert) sad when at the end the creature turned to stone and the now big girl felt sad that she had to go and no body else could meet him. Overall I'd love to see more and have the meaning of the three rings explained to me!

Only 'you' can say when it is time to join the real world and go back. This is an amazing film about trials of growth each of us take, some of us accomplish more then others, while others stay in time a child within childish ways. Beautiful Film.

This story has a precious meaning to it.

Imagine losing your child when their like five years old, and then they come back when their twenty and ask 'who are you?'

Kid at 1:08 looks like Aang Also she got CUTE

Moral of the story. As long as your friends with them, you can always use others as stepping stones.

Wonderful implementation of a life theme that concerns us all. What our society lacks are rituals that accompany our transitions from one stage of life to the next. Thank you, creators!
