Give these creators money to make a feature, or series or just more shorts. This is spectacular yet so achingly brief.

It takes more than talented animators to make a good movie or tv show. Most of the time thoses artists works better with short format. You need a good writer to have something that would legit hold you for 75min or a full season.
I genuinely love how the psychopomp picks up the baby - gently and protectively but without hesitation, like they know what needs to be done and yet it's done with care. It really warms my heart.

From what I assume it's the God Xolotl, the psychopomp of the Aztec pantheon, the Jaguar playing the cello it's probably Tezcatlipoca, the god of the night, also related to death and the woman who blows is Cihuacoatl, a goddess related to early death in maternity

Also the little shine on his eye after he picks it up - it's like a little tear that falls for the baby 😭
This is my favorite one so far… Mictlantecuhtli gave the Xoloscuintle to the humans as a gift to guide us through the underworld. The creature is guiding the little baby to safety, finalizing his journey with his last breath… What a beautiful animated short , I wish we had feature length movies like this.

I'm pretty sure the black jaguar creature playing the contrabass represents Tezcatlipoca, the god of the night, jaguars, and death, guiding Xolotl to Mictlan, the underworld. I love how the strings swell when he comes on screen.

Ohh, so from my understanding, the little baby has died and they are being carried(or in that matter, their soul is) over to the underworld through many different places/minor underworlds. And as the sun dawns on the lifeless, not-breathing vessel of the diseased, the flowers from the vase above the baby falls over their body, indicating that as the flower wilted and fell, so did the baby.

These directors/animators completely understood their assignment--- this is delighftul, sad, and a sublime representation of that other side of Mexican traditions and culture we don't often see represented in media--- the master animators in Guadalajara managed to capture it and so did these directors. I'm calling it, Antoine, Clement and Rayan will make even greater things in the future. Everything about the audio is perfect too, thank you. ¡Gracias desde México!

The united states military is using technology and manpower to protect deviant sadistic Child SAers that are misusing their access to advanced tools to spy on, harass, and forcibly SA children.This sometimes follows them into adulthood. Children that are still too young to know that what they are seeing is not normal are being exposed to disgusting deviant content that is forcibly shown to them by hacking their devices. Many victims may not even know they have been targeted by this, because the majority of the actual SA happens when they are slipped something that incapacitates them or they are asleep, the only reason they might know is because the perpetrator may leave behind physical evidence, like bruises, scratches, or bodily fluids. If a victim discovers what has happened to them these worms will misuse equipment and manpower to stalk, shame, mock, and generally try to make the lives of the people affected by this as hellish as possible both offline and online. They follow victims in person and try to intimidate or harass them. They generally use different people who act as though they aren't affiliated with each other and don't do anything they can be arrested for at the time of the harassment. They think they can shame and mock their victims into silence because some of what happens is coerced. These are depraved cowards that gather in groups to harass women and children just to protect deviant SAers

@@periclesperez103 we have a traditional lullaby in Russia about a gray wolf who's stealing a baby and carry in the wood. But as in this cartoon, the wolf is not bad - he's guardian.
This is phenomenal
That’s so breathtaking! This is exactly what I felt as a little kid when I listened to mum’s lullaby. It translates from Russian like: “Hush baby, hush, if you sleep on the side of the bed, wolf will come and take you to the forest. As an imaginative kid I felt an absolute horror but kinda liked it. Thank you so much! This reminded me of my childhood memory.
So wonderful, made me cry thinking the little boy is going to the afterlife at such a young age but what a beautiful journey
I'm always amazed by how Gobelins creates incredible masterpieces in such short videos. It's always a big inspiration to me.

J'imagine que les étapes présentées sont : 1-Tlalocan le lieu des morts noyés ou touchés par la foudre 2-???

Wow this is great, what cohesive colours! Scenes with the character jumping, or climbing out of the mouth, just so smooth, but solid. Lifelike.
this is crazy there are lot of hidden masterpieces like this that i'll probably wont be aware of
Devastatingly short film. Phenomenal job directors, animators and sound designers. I hope you guys go far. A full length film in this style with this kind of music... Oscar worthy.
I am just the right kind of high to enjoy this.
Incroyable, je suis impressionné.
this is absolutely stunning
So unique and beautiful, yet so profound and culturally significant
stunning, electrifying, dark and captivating. all in less than one minute that felt like forever and a second at the same time. i hope to see more from these creatives!!
this is one of those "oh the thumbnail looks cool I'll give it a look, but 40 seconds later I feel inspired and my life is suddenly ruined"
ill never stop watching this
This is fucking fascinating and would love to see a story done with this sort of style, unnerving but beautiful.
This is absolutely on another level of quality. I'm about to watch this 10 more times. THIS IS FILMMAKING! True art. I almost forgot what real filmmaking looks like. The marriage of sound and visuals, perfect transitions guiding the viewer through the landscape and stories of the artist's imaginary world. Impeccable 👏👏👏👏
Une esthétique poétique addictive qui ne peut laisser indifférent. Inspiré et documenté de l’univers fantastique des divinités sud-américaines, un très beau travail d’une belle sensibilité.
