MILLENNIUM HOUR

Imagine having a whole ass latch specifically just to print something

Theories: "Capitalism." Me: "Give him the sticker."

Jesus christ these colors and effects are on a whole nother level

The most wholesome thing about this video is that, for all the puppers tech and knowledge, he wouldn't break the stickertown machine open... He's a good dog.

THE BOI JUST WANTS HIS STAR STICKER GIVE HIM THE STAR STICKER

stealing money in a post apocalyptic world be like:

High school students on snowy days: “I get to stay home and play video games!” College students on snowy days:

I sent this to my friend and she straight up had to call me after watching it because it just would’ve taken too long to type out how she felt about it

my intelligent ass thought it said “millennial humor”

me thinking “what about your coin on a string” and “you broke into every other machine why not this one”

Holy shit. Mesmerized. Start to Finish

honestly I hope he never gets the sticker he's looking for, because from the looks of it the search for that sticker is the only thing keeping him going

I watched this during the school's Twitch livestream the other day, everyone was waiting specifically for this and another animation lol

the only deadly thing about your animations is how cute they are.

Are we all gonna ignore that this short is technically the greatest ad I have ever seen for a god damn set of stickers

"Our customers enjoy our surprise mechanics that we implement through what you call loot boxes" - EA Representative. This in a nutshell.

My God. Instead of just leaving a comment, I just gotta break down everything I love about this. First-off, the environmental details and creativity. Things like the security cameras piled on our sticker-searcher's house, the old dog-racing horse activated by a quarter on a string, the many sticker-shops buried beneath snow, the gentle gathering of curious birds, or the swear-jars decorating an old floral-print bedroom... it is all of it whimsical in a way I have never really encountered before. It evokes a feeling of warm nostalgia... like sunbeams filtering through a dusty attic window. I find myself desperately seeking to emulate that feeling within my own works. Next, there is the music. The base instruments themselves would not feel out-of-place in a monk's monastery, creating a sense of mystery muffled beneath feelings of stillness. Alone this would be nothing special, but when you combine it with the electronic overlay, the ticking timer in the background, and the rise and fall of pitch? The listener can feel the frantic uncertainty if our protagonist and the strangeness of this world and their quest, all while the solemnity of snowy stillness hangs in the background... Next, there is the story itself. You have always been good at combining that unique brand of nostalgic weirdness with a healthy dose of intrigue, and audience interpretation. The plot itself is simple, but serviceable. "Protagonist has goal, gathers items to achieve goal, almost gives up directly before goal, moment of triumph as goal is within reach, moment of despair as goal is pulled away at last second, moment of wonder as goal is achieved thanks to external force, final frustration as goal proves disappointing, end on protagonist vowing to continue chasing goal and reveal that this is not their first failure." That by itself is nothing new. What therefore makes it so fantastic and thought-provoking is the presentation. In this desolate, broken world, the protagonist's goal is a sticker-dispenser that glows with heavenly light, and demands a hundred quarters. This is an excellent and whimsical subversion, yet what truly makes it stand out is that by this time, the viewer is 100% invested in this sticker-dispenser. A lesser artist would have only made their audience laugh with the goal's reveal, yet here all they do is lean forward. The reverence with which our protagonist treats this machine is shared by the viewers, transforming it from sticker-dispenser to monolith of worship. We feel the importance of this luminous star sticker, even when we can't explain why it's so valuable. Anyone can take a simple story and add whimsical elements, but to so thoroughly engage the audience whilst doing so? That is the sign of a great storyteller. I could go on, but it's been an hour and I have things I need to do. I've no idea if you'll even read this, but after such a beautiful display of skill I felt it was only right I take the time to express my appreciation to the full extent of my abilities. Your art is an inspiration.

this is the best way to do an ad for stickers

This couldn’t have been uploaded at a more appropriate time in my life. I’ve been following you for a while here and you are one of those creators a check up on often, as your animations are just fantastic. When this was first uploaded, my father had just passed away. My relationship with him has always been lacking and he died pretty suddenly and I was never allowed much closure in terms of what I wanted to confront him with. I had been cooped up in my room for a while and I was doing pretty awfully to be completely honest. I checked my sub box and saw this animation; I immediately knew I needed to watch it, despite the fact I knew from the thumbnail that it would hurt. Throughout the story I was begging for our friend here to what he wanted, to have his struggles come to an end and for him to get what he wanted. When the story concluded I cried. I’m not one for outward emotion but I just couldn’t stop. He had been robbed of what he deserved for all his work just like I had been robbed of a father in much of my childhood. Neither of us got closure, and that’s just part of life I guess. I’ve come back after all this time to re-watch this, and I’ve found that our common tale is one of tragedy. It’s no longer anybody’s fault for what we are missing, as all those who could’ve helped or been held responsible are gone, and have been for a long time. It’s just a shame things don’t always get to work out in the end, but it’s important we accept when they don’t. It’s just a shame when things work out, nothing more, nothing less. Thank you so much for sharing your art with us. Some may be silly, others may be serious, but either way, they are more treasured than you could imagine. I could tell you put passion into this animation, just like your others, and I can promise you that passion carries over to us onlookers. I can’t speak for everyone, but I assume I’m not alone in the thought that your animations are extremely important to me, and that I respect you completely for your talent, work, passion, and everything else you put into this. Thank you, so, so much.

I feel like the writer is annoyed with the rising nominal prices of toy dispensers and how you never get what you want.
