I love this. Not only is the animation visually very beautiful, but I love how lighthearted you kept the story without taking away from the severity of this "disability". As someone who has social anxiety I could relate to many of her struggles (especially the phone ringing!) and I think the crocodile was such a great representation and also showed that it is possible to calm your "crocodile" when you acknowledge and accept it, and you can be brave and live a good life.

I can't hold eye contact because I'm afraid that people think I'm ugly, I don't have friends because I suspect people find talking to me annoying, I never want anyone to worry about me because I just feel so worthless...the moral of my story? *STAY YOURSELF.

Honestly, this represents anxiety, (which is sometimes referred to as shyness) to a T. The way she struggles through seemingly simple tasks answering the phone or saying hello to your neighbor because she's held back or prevented because of her crocodile aka her anxiety. Also the way it circles her while she's sitting at the cafe, because it's always on her mind. Then how she was frustrated and tried kicking it away ect, was so funny because I've tried handling my anxiety the same way, by just trying to push it out of my life. And the only way that has really helped me handle my anxiety is also perfectly represented by the main character accepting her anxiety/fears and not allowing them to hold her back anymore. Loved this short :') Also, this isn't solely directed at you haha sorry i just wanted to clear up how it represents shyness really well.. err at least it does to me being a person who has shyness haha

No need to ruin yourself over it by trying to change what can't/needn't be changed. Not that it matters much. The abstract nature of it means it can be applied to shyness/anxiety as well as many other things no matter what the specific thoughts behind all this were I feel pretty sure its purpose is for people to reflect on and use to improve *their* lives and how it relates to *them*. Can you use it to accept your anxiety? Great! Your homosexuality? Great! Your depression? Great! Your fears? Great It's all great :)

Every so often I come back and watch this because it's really, really good, and it's also a nice reminder that the things you struggle with aren't who you are at your core. The voice acting is also just incredible, because you really feel her frustration when she finally snaps. Just tremendous work.

Le crocodile en fait c'est l'anxiété sociale ?

after seeing the comments relating the crocodile to anxiety, it makes a lot of sense. i think the reason why the crocodile was worried/looked sad when she went to talk to her neighbor was because it was trying to protect her from getting her feelings hurt. the anxiety preventing her from talking to him could be seen as a self protection mechanism, protecting her from the possibility of something going wrong, which is essentially what the crocodile was doing. like if you clam up in a situation, you are usually scared to talk because you're afraid of something going wrong and if you personify that fear, you get the crocodile. also the crocodile has my heart its so cute

I really love watching this.. I've seen this so many times I just love it..

I'm very shy with people in person that I don't know, and it's hard to talk to the people that are not close to me, and it's hard to get by sometimes. I am shy because I was harshly outcast everywhere I went in my elementry years, even my friends turned against me because of this one girl who bullied me and ruined my childhood. Now I have friends, but I always have that dreading feeling someone might come along and turn all my friends against me again, and that would lead to being so scared of a friends betrayal, that I won't even be able to make friends. So I don't even talk to the people I don't know unless I have to, because I'm afraid that they will hurt me, or not like me. And wanting appreciation is why I worry over my hair, worked extra hard at talents like drawing, singing, instrument playing, and things like that. Also I'm trying to take up talents like being a KZreadr, so that I'll be appreciated in spite of my elementry years...

It took me a moment but the moment I realized she meant this video I had a smile going from one side of my face to the other. I'm so glad she reminded me of it

If the croc was anxiety, then it does describe it accurately. You can never really get rid of it or force it away, no matter how hard you try and how extravagant the techniques are. It's just a matter of taming it and doing the best you can with a crocodile on a leash dragging behind you. That's my experience, anyway.

I was diagnosed with general anxiety disorder several years ago. Everything from answering the phone, to having coffee with friends, to leaving the house can be a living hell. It doesn't get better, but you learn to cope. This is exactly what it was like learning to cope, for me.

I love this and not just because of its brilliant art, animation, and moving story. The thing I love most about about this is the symbolism. The crocodile can be seen as any mental health struggle that inhibits daily life and interactions for those who have it. As a person with social anxiety, I strongly relate to the social anxiety crocodile, but I also watch this video when I’m depressed, seeing the blue crocodile as depression and seeing its antics as representative of how depression makes you apathetic, fatigued, and sad, keeping you from doing the things you want and usually enjoy. I watch this video when my own crocodiles bite at my heels or threaten to swallow me whole. It makes me feel calmer.

Omg it’s so cute

This is so true. I'm 19 started to become shy or social anxiety when I was about 13 until now. I can say this animation relates me a lot. I'm awkward when meeting new people. Every time I was asked to do my presentation, I will stuck in the middle, saying a lot of "um," and "a," ruined my presentation. I tried to talk with stranger sometimes but then, it instantly became awkward. Even though I was like this, but I kinda like it because it was like making me somewhat a character, different from my other friends. But mostly this social anxiety is a real pain in the ass... =_=

A conversation isn't supposed to be a program you run, it's something which develops by itself :) Just show something of yourself, what bothers you (not your worst problems but something you see or what you experienced at work, studies, spare time, etc). Sometimes people put too much pressure on themselves, you don't have to perform perfectly like society expects. Everybody is still themselves, some more confident than others but not necessarily more able. Keep that in mind, good luck!

I love how they represented anxiety with a cute crocodile. I really relate the moments where the normal things like talking to a telephone or generally talking to new people is blocked by my anxiety. But anxiety is not all bad, it's our flight or fight response. Anxiety makes us be careful in everything we do. We can accept anxiety as a part of us and embrace it. But, it is unfortunate that there are people who has anxiety to a point where they cant cobtrol it and have anxiety attacks

Tbh i think the crocodile represents anxiety, i can relate to it so much, love this film and the blue corc🥺🥺

all these years... i finally found it 🥺

I can completely relate to this... I have social anxiety myself. I knew from the start what the crocodile represented. I need to do what she did and take control of it!

I really like this representation of shyness / social anxiety -- when people describe their insecurities and weak points, they usually use the term "demon". We don't know if demons even exist, and if they do, we have no idea how to truly conquer them... However, we know crocodiles exist, and though they're definitely scary, we know how to subdue them and keep them at bay. We know insecurities, weak points, disorders, and of the sort exist... just like crocodiles. It makes a better representation, in my opinion. Anyway, off the artistic side and from a casual viewer standpoint, I loved it; beautiful animation, and a cute story.

After 8 years this lil short still makes me happy

i love how you portrayed the anxiety as a lil crocie boi and not some big scary monster cuz it isnt always scary

I absolutely love the art style and color of the scenery!

That crocodile is so cute :3

The crocodile humming with the music at the credit is so cute !!

the crocodile humming his little tune at the end was so cute

2012;hell no 2013:nope 2014:lol no. 2015:ahh....still no. 2016:i dont think so. 2017:not yet. 2018:almost... 2019: *YES*

Crocodile: *purring* Me: i has found a cure for world depression

Being French is actually the best thing that happened in my life TwT The movie is so beautiful and cool btw

When she's sitting outside of the coffee shop and the crocodile is running in circles around her, I felt that.

Nice way to show social anxiety/shyness. It's a great way to show that sometimes you have to work around it and accept it :)

People are saying its oversimplified or you cant just call your anxiety cute and then suddenly be over it. I just wanna say that it's not the fact that she acknowledged it as cute, it's the fact that she acknowledged it at all. My therapist told me that I'll probably never be cured of my anxiety, that it's not something you can grow out of, but that I can learn to cope and live with it, and once you have learned coping mechanisms that it's manageable and becomes much easier to manage the more you practice. That's what she's doing. Accepting she has a mental illness so she can learn how to cope with it, instead of just ignoring it, and trying to will it to go away. Because it won't. ignoring it and being mad about it won't get you anywhere. so actually it's a pretty good representation of how this shit works.

That is the most energetic, flexible and fast crocodile I ever seen in my life.

The concept of anxiety being transposed as a blue crocodile is superb,I really liked how the situation turned out and I think the creators did a great job on this. Also,the animation is fantastic.

For years I have always coming back to this video and still amazed, as if this is my first time seeing this. love it, always 💙

So beautiful ;___;

So no ones' gonna talk about how cute the crocodile is?

I could see this resonating with both people who struggle with being shy and people who also struggle with anxiety.

Cette animation est ma préféré je trouve ^^ elle est génial

The therapist is so jarringly stylised compared to the other humans

Anxiety portrayed: Most medias: -Big dark mists that surround you that making you feel isolated -Scary looking creatures Gobelins: C R O C C

The momment the crocodile prevented her from presenting normally in work and pick the phone I was like "Yeap it's social anxiety alright". This is the main concept that drives this animation onward and I'm preety sure the basis of it's creation. I wanna create an animation: ok what? *few ideas later* Maybe social anxiety? it's preety relatable and apealing to large audience* hmm now how am I gonna make anxiety look like in a way that is not immidietly recognised as that? That's preety much the workflow of this project according to my speculations. Well for anyone who wondered how to get from having nothing to this. It's mostly the idea, all the others come natural with a little research.

Damn, France looks like such a cozy place to live.

What a cute "anxiety"!

I liked that she didn't get rid of it completely. She had control over it.

The crocodile singing in the outro is amazing

The character design on these characters was really phenomenal. Yes, yes, the story was great, anxiety blah blah- but the technical work that went into this was really phenomenal.

WAIT the crocodile is purring!!

I listened to a Buddhist monk who said he learned to greet his anxiety as he meditated and went through each day: “Hello, anxiety.” He learned to welcome it rather than fight it. I think picturing anxiety/depression as a cute, albeit toothed, animal like this could be really helpful.

Mais comme il est chou le croco !!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍

thats fucking awesome the croc is so well animated

very touching and w/ a deep meaning ^w^ like!!

The way he purrs with the music in the credits is so cute xD

This is by far my most favorite short film.

The voice acting in this film is amazing. A lot of the short animation films I watch feel forced and awkward.

Cute animation, but people in the comments seem to be confusing shyness and anxiety. Being shy is a normal part of life, and we all experience it. Anxiety is crippling, and it's not something one ever shows affection towards, like the woman in the animation does. Lets not confuse terms, and trivialize serious mental illnesses.

I like to imagine my anxiety as a HummingBird, fluttering around my head all the time.

This was the first Gobelins animation I ever watched. It's still one of my favorites.

Oh please, the show ended a while ago, buddy.

A blue crocodile that acts like a puppy and a jealous one at that? LOVE IT!

omggg that crocodile is cute! i really love how lighthearted y'all made this film while not downplaying the woes and trouble shyness/social anxiety brings to our daily lives. i honestly related to most of it, especially when a simple "hi" can sweep me off my feet and tumble over nothing. it can get very tiring. i love how the lady tells her crocodile/shyness not to worry. the self-assurance there and the confidence displayed later is very empowering.

The crocodile walks like a ferret xD

... So Anxiety is a Crocodile... ... what's ADHD?

Beck Hornig Actually, when I think about it, ADHD absolutely has to be... ... a wasp. When a wasp comes around you pay-the-f*** ATTENTION, and you immediately ignore everything else. 'cause, seriously... f*** wasps...

Dude like every animation from the channel is so great actually. Half way through all of them I you realize the symbolism and you begin to interpret it and it's easy and relatable to understand with excellent execution.

I relate to this animation so much omg

Y the hell does everyone wants anxiety to be a goddamn crocodile.???? If it is so....the anxiety will eat u ...if it's hungry.👁️👄👁️

I've never wanted a pet crocodile more... wtf XD the story was great though and I loved that it lead space to let it connect with any one from relate through anxiety all the way through to thinking of your past!

She didn’t let anxiety over come her. she came face to face with it and accepted it

is the crocodile HUMMING along in the credits? I didn't know I needed this in my life...
