For people wondering: you can watch the film mentioned at 3:23!! Please watch Justine’s beautiful film dedicated to Mona in the link below

i ADORE the subversion here, how you were able to use these experiences and change the context. the artstyle is adorable too.

man, i don't know. I just started tearing up a little. it's so cute hearing how people talk about their pets and showing that in reverse for this film was just so sweet. I loved the style, all the shots with the ants are my favorite part!

Ty for the honor of having me in this beautiful film JAIMI!!!!!

thank YOU for letting me to interview you about bugsy!!! and your film this year is so good!!!!

I love this so much 😭😭 your art combined with like the sweet and authentic interviews it’s so comforting to watch and it makes me so happy

This is like the Steven Universe Dove commercials meets Creature Comforts. Love it.

SO ADORABLE! I love the art style and the interviewee's are so likable! Also the composer knocked it out the park! gives me heavy "Headspace" on netflix vibes with it's floaty sound. I love this!

Ooo i haven’t heard about “headspace” i’m definitely gonna check it out!!! Mate Satalich is the composer, he scores for many of my school’s films!! You can find more of his awesome work here: matesatalich.myportfolio.com

I dont think it is voice acting. I think these are just interviews about pets so they really are just being themselves, which I guess is why its so natural lol

This film means a lot to me 💙 My dog is sick and she'll probably die this year which made me realize how many memories we have together It really is like having a sibling. Unconditional love without needing to explain yourself bc they always feel what's going

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, I wish the best for your dog! One of the best things when making this film was people sharing stories and images of their pets :’) we really have so much love for them!

This is one of my favorite animations I’ve seen on KZread! It’s proof that you don’t need a super complex style to draw people in. I actually found myself sad that it was over when I was finished!

I love how this sounds like an actual, non-scripted interview. Like the laughs just sounds so real😮 well done on this animation and on the voice actors!!❤️💗

I’ve always loved these “interview-style” short films. This is so cute!

I really adored this! The moments between pets and humans and the silliness that come from their interactions with each other. Also the sound design, the sound mixing, and the composer who makes everything come alive and really highlights the warmth and general shenanigans and behaviors of everyday life! What an absolutely phenomenal film. :D

Love this so much! You really nailed the execution of this unique concept. Can't get enough of the visual style too!

Oh I love this so much! It reminds me of Aardmans Creature Comforts

dude this was actually so genuinly clever and charming like what i have no words, one of the best calarts films i've seen, so lighthearted, ugh thank u man, so whimsy so artistically unique grrr

what a beautiful homage to nature and humanity. beautiful, heart warming, and wholesome. thank you for making and sharing this. it really brought me joy

Took me until the third animal till i fully got it but this was soo cute and sweet!!! Loved it

This is such a creative take on hearing people talk about their pets

this was amazing jaimi!! the lighting is so beautiful and wahhh it really touched my heart :'3

I love how gentle and full of love this short film is. It just feels like a warm hug. The animation style and music are so lovely and everyone’s voices are very soothing. The shot with all the people and their pets in the apartment complex made me tear up a little. I love it!

Very high quality, and very entertaining. You did a really good job with this animation. You flipped the scenario expertly.

this reminds me of the steven universe bullying videos! lovely art style. very lovely!!

This might be my favorite short film so far

The ant perspective in particular was wonderful.

this reminds me of "creature comforts" so cute and calming

10/10 short film of the year.

You'll really love Creature Comforts if you like this! A, somewhat older British show where the lads who made Shawn The Sheep animate animals talking about their lives. (the animals being, interviewees) Hours and hours of really, interesting peeks into peoples lives.

AWWW I LOVE THE ANIMATION STYLE

Reminds me of Ardman’s Creature Comforts.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... I think I've seen those two on the right at 2:27 before but I can't put my finger on where... 🤔

This is so cute!!

This was adorable!

When I was a kid they taught us that the animal response to stress is to fight or flight. Lately I've heard of at least two more responses freeze or fawn. That's what pets do in response to the stress that they're not in their natural environment they fawn for the humans that are giving them food. They don't love the humans, they fear them, and their response is to be nice to their captors. Some pets, like hedgehogs, are observed that it is inhumane to own a single one. You're supposed to get them in pairs, so they can entertain each other while you're gone. Therefore, it would be more humane to get more, so they can interact with each other more. Taken to the extreme, it is most humane to have them interact with each other exclusively, taking the humans interaction and socialization out of this situation. It is most humane to let pets be by themselves with other pets of their own kind, and just give them food to live and do what they want to do on their own. Very much like just not having them as pets in the first place. We have bred these animals to be dependent on us, so much so they cannot live on their own in the wild. The most humane decision in this whole situation would be for us to provide them with food and safety until they die out, and not let them breed anymore generations. Also, in that same line of thinking, the natural world does not provide food and safety because of global warming. Our encroachment of our species humans on the planet is gradually replacing all life, resulting in a soylant green scenario where we are forced to eat the only remaining life on Earth, other humans. It is not ethical to kill humans. It is not ethical to let them replace all life on Earth with their own like a virus. But that is exactly what is going to happen, and mother nature will show us at the true life on Earth will be those weird things in the deep sea thermal vents, who will survive a global warming. Earth will be an empty place, the only life in The deep Sea thermal vents. And that is justice
