With my father and I who both drive truck, this really struck a chord. Legally, we are not supposed to use those beautifully loud horns unless there is an emergency.... I will tell you, not once have I denied anyone, child or adult, who has done the arm pump, a good blast from those horns. All ages, seem to react the same, with utter joy just to be realized and recognized with that sound. It always warms my heart and keeps me trucking!

God, I feel that antelope dude. It's easy to forget the past as it weighs down on you when the present feels so dreary, but sometimes it takes a good reminder and embracing of the past to really let out all those built-up emotions - there's nothing that feels better than a cathartic cry. The puddle behind the raincoat kid in the shape of antelope's dad's head really drove home the remembrance. Absolutely aces dude.

What a lovely friendship you both have. ❤

Your animations are always so charming and cute Luke, all of the time and effort you put in them really pays off! I love the message here too, amazing work dude

Oh my God.... The feels... I'm a trucker. My dad was a trucker, and died behind the wheel. I'll be a wreck the rest of the day. Thank you so much. 😊

Watching this made me think of my father and the memories. He's still alive, but he has gone thru so many close calls in his life. He almost passed from dengue fever, he almost passed from having bad kidneys. This animation makes me cherish the current and future memories I will have with him. I cried at the end of this, it was amazing how 5 minutes made me think about my dad like that

My Dad was a trucker when I was a kid. It took him away from home a lot, but sometimes I got to come along with him, and I would do that motion to ask truckers to blow their horn. I remember getting that excited about it too. My Dad was my life at the time, so whatever he was doing was really important to me. He passed away when I was 18, from cancer. Almost 15 years later, I am watching this, with all those happy memories flooding back, and I felt like he was right there again, right next to me smiling and laughing happily that I was so happy and excited over a trucker blowing their horn. I'm never going to forget this animation and I don't know how I can thank you for letting me feel this way again. Thank you, just, thank you so much.

Beautiful story and I love the double meaning of “Horns.” My mom also taught me how to signal truckers as a kid. It was always such a rush when they blew the horn. 😁

I really appreciate how the horn is artistically depicted, its harmonious and immediately communicates nostalgia. Sound design 10/10.

I honestly do not care at all about the fedish content but.. jesus christ this is pixar level. Luke i want to personally thank you for this. Wow.

Heartfelt moments like this is what more people need to be exposed to and shown, to remind us all of what really matters.

Can you please stop cutting onions? WHAT? IM NOT CRYING!

3:44 The puddle looks like an antelope, it must have reminded them of their father. That was a really beautiful animation. The lighting and the detail adds a nice touch to it. Your artwork has inspired me to create my own. Keep up the great work! 🙂 -Wolfie.

I love how 4:25 is perfectly represented, it just hits you with the feels, keep up the good work Luke! love from Argentina, and love to dad who's resting in peace 💛

So sweet, bringing the kid to a truck show~ Just a lovely and wholesome family day! Totally not crying at the end!

Watched it again after it being nominated for best dramatic short film.. still gets me all emotional and teared up.. you got my vote Luke!

Aw man I welled up at the end- beautiful animation, sound effects, and music. Great job bro 👍

I was today years old when animated antelopes made me cry. This was amazing.

Watching this one from inside my own truck. It's got some intense feels to it.

Absolutely stunning work as always Luke, you pour everything into these and it shows! Loss is never an easy thing to deal with, and I’m glad you illustrated both that, and the fact that those who leave us are never truly gone.

Watching you work on this has been an absolute joy, and the final result is something truly beautiful. The scenery, expressiveness of the characters, and the quality of your lines have improved so so much since your last film and I'm very excited to observe whatever comes next. Me and some friends watched this over discord and it was so fun to hear everyone's reactions to the various moments, like when the driver of "Harte Beast"'s expression changed for example. Your stories are loved, and you're a wonderful, warm person I feel lucky to be around. Much love ♥

2:51 As a South African now living in the Netherlands (I see you are also in NL), seeing Springbok made my heart skip a beat. I also have a 5 month old son. I hope that we will be this close when he is grown up, and all I wish for him is to have a happy and fulfilling life. This really hit home.

So many emotions, so many feelings! This made me cry... Awesome film!

Oh no. My dad passed on the 31st of October, so things are still fairly fresh. I thought I was past it but the fact that I just started sobbing when I saw the puddle shaped like his dad is kinda telling. It came out of nowhere. Really beautiful work.

I was having a really stressful day today... Seeing this make me feel calm, happy and nostalgic. For a moment i feel like a child again, and i feel a lot this animation, because i have a close relationship with My parents, and i've a lot of memoria with them when everything is sunshine. This was beautiful, congratulations!!!

Such a beautiful animation. Got me all teary eyed

There's something special in the sounds effects. Those bring me back memories from different winters, and its... idk.... idk how to describe this feeling...

I felt literal chills watching this.

Honest to God I'm sitting in my rig at a trick stop in Florida, just saw this & now I'm trying to clear my eyes. Absolutely beautiful.

My mom passed a good year and nine months ago now. We used to go down to creeks and catch crawdads, or count traincars when I was younger. She introduced me to the world of art (direct and abstract) through the City Museum, and I went back there last year to see all the things she showed me at her level. Most of all, she and I used to roadtrip. I drive her car now, and I swear she's watching over me all the time. I miss her. But she's always there. I know it.

So heart warming, your characters in animation and pics are always adorable but coupling it with this heart warming story is beautiful! 😁💙👍🏼

I love the way the atmosphere changes base on their emotions. And that totally reflects us to viewers how it really feels. Amazing job on this animation. Now excuse me, I'm gonna continue making a river of tears

Lovely, emotional, there’s more words in my mind to describe this beautiful animation, but i can’t choose which one is perfect to describe this

A part of my family works as truck divers and this was so heartwarming to see man, you’re such an inspiration for everyone who wants to animate too

Wow just the opening score is beautiful 😍

im so glad ii came here within 30 minuted of the video being released. I love your animations, it's pure effort in it's entirety!

This is a tear jerker... It's beautiful how you conveyed nostalgia as a form of healing and rediscovering one's motivation (not to mention, it was cool seeing all the big guys there, heh!) Thanks for sharing your stories with us, Luke! ^^/

I'm see this, and feeling a sensation of peace with some crying, nothing of words, but said more that one can see. Touching.

I was not prepared for the feels, but this was a beautiful short film

I can't recall the last time a piece of media hit me this hard. You've done nothing but wonders ever since you started animating these character shorts. I can't wait for the next one that will grace us.

Kids need their fathers, too. A ton of effort was put into this and we all can feel it, Luke. Axel Vei's music composition was spot on. Well done! 🐺🔧

I put off watching this for awhile, I wanted to save this for a special occasion. I was feeling down today, and that's when I decided to watch this, and it really made me feel a bit better. Thank you Luke for all your work, from the plus sized Pokemon to the heartwarming short animated films.

No matter how many times I watch this, it never fails to make me cry.

I cried. This animation was so awesome.

This animation has me crying because it just shows soo many heart-felt emotions.. I have a father, but I never got to experience a truly happy childhood with him.. my heart goes out to the people who have lost a parent at any point in their life 🩵

Aw man Im crying my eyes out!!!!! This is beautiful, It made me so emotional. This is better than Disney!!!❤❤

You are genuinely one of the most talented and amazing furry artists I’ve ever came across. It’s genuinely amazing how much work you put into your art and your short films. And trust me, as a viewer, it’s always worth the wait. Oh yeah, I forgot to also say this. Your work in particular means so much to me because I officially started considering myself a furry while listening to an interview of you. I feel obligated to send this, even if you might not see it.

I'm a truck driver, and anytime I'm having a terrible day at work I specifically watch this video and it makes me feel better every time. I wish more people did the trucker salute. Even though we're not supposed to use the airhorn for anything except emergencies, I never ignore a trucker salute. There's been a few times where I've had abysmal days, creeping up on my 12th hour of work, an hour away from my domicile, stuck in traffic concerned that I'm gonna go past my 14th hour (we can't legally work past that). Some kids to the left of me stuck their heads out the car window to get my attention and told me to honk. So I did, and they all smiled. Instantly turned my day around. Many of us love using the horns when people ask us to. So do a trucker salute to your local truck drivers. It may just make their day.

So happy to see ya Posted again I love your work ❤️

Watched this in the intermission where I got more emotional than the main show I was watching. I think it was the only one that got an applause during the intermission.

I absolutly love this. I am glad to see a father son animation that is very heartwarming. Just a young motor fur enjoying the trucks and spending time with his dad. brings me back to when I was an inocent child. And I felt that feeling when the child got older. I connect with this because my mother is always in the passenger seat with me. keep up the great work

Dude the love that was jammed into this is overwhelming. The fluid animation and the story portrayed through the sounds and emotions really drive it home. This was a marvelous piece. Instant subscribe!!!

I'm not crying YOU'RE CRYING! *sniff* jokes aside, lovely work, Luke! the moment I clicked on start I knew I'm gonna be in for an emotional rollercoaster! thank you for this amazing animation..

Over a milliok times better than what Disney's been putting out lately. Even got me shedding tears.

This actually helped me cry when I had needed to for a long time. Bless you.

We may lose the ones we cherish along this road we walk or drive called life, but never forget that they always are watching over us through the best and worst times. We cherish everyone we connect with and through that, we get the love, support and motivation to keep going. So never forget. Your not alone when you walk this road.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A HAPPY NEW YEAR IN 2023!!

Beautiful. I can't even begin to articulate the gutpunch that just made me miss my father. He was my hero growing up, I held him in such a high esteem, and I do wish so badly that I could see him again, or at least the man he was. The dumbest part is that my dad hasn't passed away, he's just gone. One day he just decided to break our family up, Left mother for another woman. That part isn't really my business, but the fact that he just ended up cutting off contact with myself and my sisters, and leaving the country. That hurts a lot. It hurts knowing that my once amazing father just gave up on us. To realize that I may as well be dead to him, and that now, he may as well be to me. I can't believe I can relate to this one so well, even though my circumstance is very different.

It may not have been what they imagined, the day to day gets hard. But remembering the importance of what you do, and the joy it gave you that you can now give to others. It helps you to keep looking forward

Holy heck this animation is just so amazing! You're really getting better at it. The scene with him grown up and honking to the child was so beautiful that it made me go in tears. Even more when his dad just showed up. The style of everything is adorable and beautiful at the same time.

how did i find this masterpiece when it was only 2 weeks old? may the algorithm find this piece and spread it’s heartwarming glow to the internet well done, dude

It's been a long time since I cried like that and didn't want to hug someone. This is an amazing work that touched me to the core. Now I'm sitting and wiping my tears, throwing this video to my friends.

Damn you! Not only did you make me feel feelings, you actually brought me to full on crying (tears, snot, and all). 😉 Just a smile and tears for most of it but, when the ghost of his dad appeared it hit me hard. My dad was a truck driver until an accident took his right leg and left his other leg practically useless. Years after that he got cancer twice and beat it both times. However, the last bought left him weak and he would often forget to eat regularly and malnutrition finally took him. This brought back the pain of losing him but the joy knowing the impact he made in my life. This animation is beyond amazing!!!

This made me cry before the emotional thunderclap even hit, AGH 💕 I just love the pure joy you can capture with your animation!

This reminds me immensely of my step father. It brought me to tears. I miss him every day.

This is beautiful and it makes me so happy. Fantastic work.

I used to do this all the time as a child. Running as fast as I can on the side of the highway before the bus came trying to get someone to sound their horn. Man… I don’t remember why I stopped or when it was. Haven’t really thought about these memories in years. Thank you for this trip down memory lane.

Hi, Now is that for first time that I watch this tale, I didn't watch before before coz I didn't know that the video was in youtube and I wasn't suscribe before (now yes). This story is very emotional, I was very moved 🥲, I'm glad that his late father is proud of have an incredible son like him☺.

Oh my god .... that was the cry I didn't know I needed

This hit way harder than I expected. I lost mother last year, and my father two years before her. I lost it when he grabbed his shoulder. Thank your for this beautiful piece to remind me of them.

My grandfather was a trucker and would always talk about his time driving his old Mack truck.

This actually brought me to tears- I have a strong relationship with my dad. He's very sick right now. The thought of losing him is horrible... He also used to be a truck driver.

Yet another reason why I love Cervids in particular. I can just see, hear, and feel him driving off into the sunset honking that same horn his father let him hear from that Trucker as the Transformers Prime Ending theme plays.

Wonderful work, Luke! :D

I'm not usually a very emotional person, but this made me tear up. Everything about this animation is simply beautiful. Great work

absolutely stunning, cried a little ngl 😭 ❤

My dad was a trucker and our trlationship crumbled when I was around 14... This brought back a lot of fond memories riding with my dad in his big truck....I miss the close bond we used to have...

It is really crazy how something without words can instill soo much feelings... This is very touching and heartfelt. Something a lot of us are all going to experience and go through. Some, as I, earlier than others. Thank you for all the hard work and dedication to this project. For the tears brought up, and the joyous memories brought on afterwards.

Ngl I really want more short films from you. I LOVE SHORT FILMS they're amazing. The music and everything just hits so hard. . .

My grandpa was a trucker. One summer he took me on a long trip with him as he had a cross country delivery. I got to see so many things and learned so much about trucks. So this really did hit me pretty hard. Beautiful animation and great message. Never forget those who we lost along the way.

I cried, thank you for posting this. Memories are SO precious make time with those you care for.
