This turned out so cozy! The voice actors you chose nailed it! An absolute treat of an experience
As a 2023 graduating student, I feel it bro ❤😭. You did such an amazing job💖🤌🐥
This shouldn’t have hit me as hard it did, but the moment the ceremony song came on i felt so unbelievably nostalgic
Ololo!! C'est trop mignon !! 💗💗💗 j'aime beaucoup!! Bravo❤❤
Holy shit the fact this has less than 4k views feels CRIMINAL.? this made me tear up, I have simaler fears every day, I never know what's gonna happen next, I'm 17, I'm gonna be an adult soon, small in the grand scheme of things but a big step for someone who isn't ready, I don't have a job or a license yet, when I'm 18 I'm gonna go to cosmetology school for tattoo work, and I'm extremely nervous seeing I grew up sheltered, this made me feel a little better, I hope it gets the attention it deserves. This feels like a movie that'd make me bawl my eyes out for days after. The sound, the animation, the message, I hope everyone that sees this gets just inspired as I have, and I hope that more people can see this and feel that. I may not have worded this all correctly, but just genuinely, I enjoyed this. Short, but one of my new favorite shorts on youtube, it's adorable, and you got a new subscriber^^ (ps, the song is beautiful, it has that clean feeling to it like a studio ghibli movie, I'm gonna tear up again writing this gosh- 💜)

Wonderful job! So charming, super cute characters, love the colors! Can’t wait to see your next projects ✨
Sooooooo adorable and sweet huuuu 😭 And I'm suffering from cute overload, I did not know my student character was gonna be the softest, little cute floppy eared creature, I'm never recovering from this.
i found an inexplicable amount of comfort in this film as the plot progressed!! please never stop making gorgeous art like this :3
I love the usage of the waltz for zizi song

This is most wonderful. I love how the characters are designed.

Another beautiful short film Wancii! You should be really proud of yourself and the art and animations you've made! You should be also proud of how impactful it has been so far to so many people. I wish my graduation was as sweet as Nonoko and Haro's. I wish you the best of luck with your future projects and hope they let your spark shine even brighter! ✨ (Also, couldn't help but feel like 2:49 - 2:56 was inspired by the Ghibli flm Howl's Moving Castle, where Howl and Sofie fly across to the bakery. Such a heart warming scene, and my personal favourite moment in your short film!)
This animation made me emotional T^T
this is definitely one of my favorite calarts films, it reminds me of a ghibli movie
they need more views 😭
this is too lovely. im hoping to be able to produce something like this some day
totally stellar
This is so sweet everyone did a fantastic job :)
Imagine they falled to their death at the fall scene and became angles
:')) i loved it, it was so warm
It was awesome, thank you
love work wanci!
Cheesy story and the animation and music is nice
This is so perfect!! This is my 4th time watching it on different days since the 1st time I came across it I'm graduating from college this year & Idk how I actually feel I don't think I'm sad but I have many mixed feelings so from time to time I come here to watch this & it makes me feel sth. It's truly so beautiful, cozy & everything about it & all the details are great!! I love it so much thank you for creating this awesome film

Where was your other animation?
This is genuinely the most beautiful CalArts film I have yet seen, and it not only made me feel nostalgic, but brought a tear to my eye, and only when I finished watching was that I noticed how this film had made me feel, its a feeling a cant quite fully describe however. Congratulations :)
I need to know the song

Hey! Glad to hear that you liked the song! It's an original song created for this short by Jason Fujita (the amazing composer I worked with!) :)
