I get it now. In the end, her friends were long gone, but their memories kept her going. As she gave up, so did the mountain, but then the memories of the people that she met kept her going and pulled her to her destination, and only at the end did she realize she did all that by herself. She went on a quest for a cure, when she never needed one in the first place. She had the will to do anything all along, she just didn't realize it until her friends showed her the way.

I saw 11 minutes and didn't think I'd watch the whole thing. and yet... before I knew it, It was already over. Something about stop motion in general is just hypnotizing. And this one was particularly mesmerizing. Really awesome. Next time I get a bee sting, I'm going jogging. Lol

I like your interpretation

It's pretty cool. I've noticed the weather reacts to her actions and emotions. When she gets bit, a bolder falls, when she breathes, the trees sway, when she sneezes, the wind blows, when she's sick from the spider bite, the mountain is in catastrophe, and when she sweats, it starts raining. Enjoyed the video well done.

it's kinda the central plot of the video

I think this was about how we should finish our goals in life. In the beginning she made the plan to go up the mountain and find that plant. But as she walked further up she started to party with the other creatures, causing her to become distracted and forgetting what she came there to do. So she became more sick and didn't have to motivation to finish, not until her friend came and reminded her of what she came there to do. But that's just my interpretation of it

I came across your work after the adventure time episode you and your team made. I can see why they asked you to portray Finn and Jake in Claymation. Your mix of cartoonist whimsy with darker undertones has the same kind of emotional impact that is found in some of my favorite episodes of adventure time. I can't wait to see more of your future work and I hope the adventure time team asks you to collaborate more in the future.

Wow! Such a magical piece of breathtaking artwork. The layers of symbolism with the sounds, textures and obviously cunning crafts(wom)manship all combine to make such a potent little masterpiece for the soul.

first time i watched this was last year, but i kept coming back to watch it again, i love everything about it, the sounds, the animation, the music and the dancing

Bruh the nostalgia is crazy, i remember watching this as a kid now im rewatching years later

what an incredible experience all around. Didn't think I would stick around for the full video, but it drew me in immediately.

This animated short is awesome! It's got enough imagination, atmosphere and charm packed into 11 minutes to put most of this year's Oscar nominees to shame. The "Making Of" is entertaining too.

I was shocked because I knew Julia Pott has used the character before in multiple of her own works, but I found this collab while looking up the artist who did the trippy video with the character with the butt who draws the viewer and says nice things, so I was watching this one because of that. Then I saw Oscar with his distinct eye design and I thought "no way... could it be?!" And that when I checked the description and saw Julia Pott was credited! Small world! **edit** okay the one I awkwardly described is called "Hi Stranger" 😂. I saw it a couple years ago when it went viral.

Thank you so much, Théo!!!! :D

New(ish) Kirsten! Really should have watched this already. Exquisite, and perfectly-suited to the haunting, minimalist soundtrack. I do wonder whether the girl was dead before she came to Move Mountain, or if she died somewhere along the climb. And whether she was the same person as the male figure. An enigmatic and wonderful piece of work. Worth watching several more times just to analyze the various fascinating and disturbing figures in the wild rumpus scene. Am I correct in thinking that the central characters, and the mountain itself, were made of actual clay, at least in some shots? Very impressive. Also the trees were made of bendy straws. That made me happy. Ten thumbs up. And five tubs of popcorn.

When i was a kid i made stop motion animation. Kind of moved to Austin and gave up on everything. Attempted suicide this year and my dad got cancer and recovered and i also had a really embarrassing mental break that was public and embarrassed me to the entire community. It was pretty awful. Now I am hiding out in my apartment all day or going out with my treatment people. This shortfilm helped bring me back from the dead. Nobody reads comments ever but thanks for making this. Sincerely, Garrett of Austin Texas

That monster reminds me of the dude from Adventure Time "thank you" episode 😂😂

I found the party scene hypnotic. Something about the simple repeating beat combinee with the awesome dancing made it so mesmerising. Thanks so much for taking the time to create this, can't wait to see what you'll make next. No rush lol

Whenever I see an animation or video like this, it makes me want to meet the person behind it so I can see how certain aspects of their experiences and personality bled into the final product. I want to create stuff like this some day. I have so many ideas, and I could create everything I could ever want to right now, right here, in the comfort of my own home. I just lack the motivation, and stuff like this is very inspiring.

Wow! What a beautiful art! I think everyone looks at it from their own experiences in life.. for me it was very clear that he came to her when she was hurt, and helped her to heal, then he showed her the way to hel herself and took her to this party people. They were fun at a moment but when the party was done she was again alone, and her wound was not trudly heal by him, it was just a relief at the moment. So she had to find the way on her own to heal herself and the memories of the people she met followed her along.. at the end she comes to the cure but its not longer necessary because the way healed her by being strong and keep running..

love the dance scene! certified bop and also amazing animation all round!

Ez interpretation from my side. People seem to only concentrate on minor problems. But you mostly can only solve them when you get rid of the big one. In this case the bite ( maybe symbol for bad streets in a country) is the small problem and all the people concentrate on that one and become blind whats really happening. (thats why the bite gets worse). Meanwhile everything around them gets destroyed. ( for instance global warming ) but they were blind. One day they wake up and all get their shit together and push themselves to solving the BIG problem by helping each other, and meanwhile they realise that the street problem wasnt really relevant anyhow so the bite disappears.
