I'm trapped in an eternal cycle of animated shorts.

The girl: gives supermarket cupcakes My brain: “Top 10 anime betrayals”

My heart literally broke when he realized the cupcakes were bought and not baked😭😭

I love how they acted like humans up until the end when he licked her. That took me off guard 💀

When it's all going good but there's still 10 minutes left *chuckles* "I'm in danger"

Moral of the story: Ovens ruin relationships and sledgehammers save them.

"My wife and I were about to divorce so she smashed a hole in our wall" Seriously though, this animation is so cute and heartwarming. I love the simplistic style of the 3D models and the lighting looks gorgeous.

Not to sound corny, but I believe the lesson of this story is it's never too late to reconnect with someone you love. It's only too late if you give up.

Imagine seeing your neighbor hit a hole through their wall then see the two of em laugh.

Their neighbours after years: hey look it’s that couple tearing down the house again

I thought they were both dogs But now that I realized they are actually a cat and dog couple It probably implements the message even more that after all differences they are still together THATS SO CUTE

I love the representation of married couples whose main goal isn't to have children. Starting a family is a great and beautiful thing, I just appreciate when stories depict married couples whose dream is just to live happily together and love each other, running their small business as a couple. I love seeing all the different aspirations and dreams that make people happy, including running a really awesome bakery!

Him: divorce Her: hold my sledgehammer

moral or the story: dont slam the oven door. or youll lose sight of the plan by trying to buy a new one

I still can't believe this was made by Chileans, my country... So happy to see that there are creators out here.

I love that even though the figurines shattered, the cupcake never did. Good symbolism.

I just noticed that in the beginning, the colors were very vibrant. As it went on though, the colors turned duller as the couple grew further apart. Excellent symbolism.

One of the most heartbreaking moments in this anination was when... she bought the cupcakes.

The part when the camera zooms away from the wife is an amazing yet subtle touch to how the two were slowly becoming farther apart, and the moments when the two were close were really heartwarming, yet the parts where they were far away had a more melancholic tone. It just adds to the subtle brilliance of the delivery of the main message of being close to loved ones.

It’s astonishing how a lot of these independent animated short films have more love and care put into them than what Disney’s putting out right now.

“I don’t need this house, I don’t need the kitchen, I don’t need that job, I don’t need any of this! I just needed you” Damn that’s a powerful line. edit: I don’t care if it’s five lines, I’m not changing it

"I wonder if we have any milk" **LOOKS IN THE CABINET**

This animation is just so…..great. How it was the cat who was afraid to lose the plan if they don’t follow it right now, how it was her who did it all eventually. And how it was the dog who helped her remember. They swapped places.

If this ends up tragic I will scream. I haven’t finished it. Edit: IT WAS SO SWEET I LOVE IT OMG

"oh darn it the ovens too big for our kitchen lets renovate our whole house"

Its really sweet that the people who voice this married couple are actually a married couple of animators who work together with their own animation studio. The parallels!

Once in a while, every few years, I come across this animated short film. Each time I do, I feel inspired and sad all at once. This animated short film is perfect because it feels real to people like me.

I loved the part where they’re surrounded by this everlasting gloom inside that forest of concrete and when she breaks the wall, a warm light enters. It’s like, they found their lost passion again. And their love blossomed once more.❤ brilliant details.

I love how throughout this whole thing they didn’t kiss, they just nuzzled and it was the cutest thing.

Oh hey, I just realized! Not only is the time spent in the rough waters of their marriage not wasted after they got through it, but even the experience they got working their jobs weren't to waste, either. The corgi worked his way to management positions as a barista, meaning he has a good grasp of customer service and how to handle people, especially in a bakery-like setting. The calico worked as an assistant in an ad agency, and was presumably good at it and got promoted, so she knows how to advertise and spread branding really well. Both skills are needed to run a successful store that'll stay open for a while, and they have over six years of experience as opposed to _probably_ winging it with the bakery at the beginning, and _possibly_ failing anyway. The rough patch not only was needed for them to realize what they mean to each other and their dreams together, but also how to keep those dreams steady and afloat. Feel like many people have realized this sooner, especially if it was intentional, but I didn't see much in the comments, so

I absolutely love how the color scheme changes with the emotion/feeling of their relationship

This story evokes so many emotions, how much time can pass, regret and sadness from not following your dreams, this was a well written, and animated story!

Me watching this as an adult: “ their resale value on that house is gonna be AMAZING” 👁👄👁

Their marriage: starts to fall apart Me: don’t cry don’t cry don’t cry don’t cry

this is one of the most beautiful short that i have the opportunity to see, represent as is a real couple: working together to overcame the obstacles of life, in a relationship marked for love and trust, enjoying the life happily as it should be, is really precious.

I love how the mini figurine of them was supposed to represent their relationship because the statue breaks then it gets fixed then it breaking its the perfect representation of their relationship not working out

It wasn’t about opening a bakery, it was about working together and spending time together, that what relationships need. Yes, couples need income to support themselves, but with communication and time reserved for each other, the relationship is doomed to dissolve.

I love how the husband and wife broke but the cupcake always stayed together.

I still come back here every once in a while and say "Here's the plan" and move on through my day ❤️

Darn it KZfaq algorithm I’m five years late because of you! This piece is so beautiful, I’m sure it will continue to make people cry and feel so many emotions five years from now. Congratulations to everyone who took part in making this rewarding masterpiece!

Did anyone notice the "camera shake" that gave the feeling of being recorded on camera instead of being digitally rendered?

Disney: we create the best cartoons! Fernanda Frick: Hold my short Film

This is so sweet🥺 I noticed on how the outfits changed, from cyan and a more comfortable outfit, then black symbolizing them being busy, and then both colors to symbolize them having a resolution. Chef’s kiss :)

I miss clicked while watching fuelled now I'm here and it looks cute so I'm staying Edit: I HAVE BEEN BAMBOOZLED IM CRYING RN AA Edit 2: looks like a happy ending better not be another bamboozle

Moral of the story: Don't be aggressive with your oven

Ovens, the most common reason for divorce.

I love how simple the art style is in this it's clear the animators didn't have a massive budget but they put the limitations to there advantage to make a really beautiful looking animation I especially love the lighting and how it tells the story.

Я всегда говорил и буду говорить, что всё гениальное-просто. Простая история, простые персонажи и простая цель-главные атрибуты любого кино и короткометражек.

And what we learned from this: Always get the extended warranty on your oven.

Neighbors: HONEY, THERE BREAKING DOWN THE HOUSE AGAINNNNN.

6:11 I noticed this small detail, note how in the presentation, note how the 75% Yes side with both sides of the pie graph has not only food, but a carrot likely representing healthy food, meaning the Advertisement of Nutritional food over others and possibly, even cupcakes which may actually be on the 25% No side of the pie graph, so yeah this may symbolize the fact that they are not only following the plan but also, abandoning it, that was a little bit of an analysis of this scene, thank you.

This short animation film still makes my heart break, and then pieces it back together.

Ngl, i cried when the dog prepared everything for her and she came home late. :( Edit: wow this comment has more friends than I do 👏

I just LOVE that their house slowly desaturated the colors and faded away, and when she finally caught sight of what she had been missing, she tore the big hole into the house and let the light come through, saturating the color palette again. Such a nice touch that really adds to the tone.

This truly showcases how a strong relationship, genuinely built on love, can endure with sacrifice and commitment. I love this 💕

I absolutely am in love. Not just with the characters and the style, but also with the sheer thought and effort that went into conveying everything without needing words. My favorite scene was when the dog says "You just don't get it. I can't...do this anymore." Sure, it didn't save budget by condensing that minute long sequencing with only music and animation playing into a short ten second yelling speech, but boy, was it effective. I understood through that single sentence what he was going through and, with the cat's reaction, what that meant for her, too. Another one of my favorite parts of this entire animation is how, originally, the cat was the one who usually stayed next to the window, and the dog was beside her. After they got some renovations to the house, the dog began to be the one sitting next to the light, and the cat began straying into the darkness, showing how he was shown to her dream and now he's the one who's beginning to adopt it, but now she's the one receding back, forgetting it all. It hit even harder when she...hit the wall even harder and tore that hole through. She could've been the one to rush to the dog instead of the dog rushing to her, because either way they would've been in the light, but the dog was the one to rush to her, to be with her in that newly opened light...Because all in all, just gazing through that window of possibility is just that--gazing. But now, through their own fair share of trials and tribulations that they both stuck through with the help of each other, they're done with just looking and now they both finally have the strength, with each other, to work with their own power to obtain their dreams of being together.

moral: don't slam your oven door

“Do we have any milk left” *checks the cupboard*

Bro, even through these 6 years, this animated film has more life than I have... Thank you so much! I can't even take my tears on))) again...

I really love the way their house reflects their emotional state. It was so small but cozy, so colourful at the beginning but lost all its colours, became so dull and empty as they did.

Everyone: aw its so cute Me: I like how theres indents in the cupcake box so they don’t slide around

And *that* kids, is why you never close the oven door too hard. (edit: woh 1000 frickin people where did you come from)

Finally a short film with cute animals that ends with me not weeping of sadness, but of joy

this really say something though either follow your dream or follow your job its absolutely difficult to pull off both, cause sometimes your job cant be your dream and your dream just wouldnt work well enough to be your job this is really a big reality slap i wish more people would realised this

Moral of the story: Ovens cause divorce

When the house is made out of like 80% glass but lets in zero light.

This film has altered my brain chemistry, every time things fall apart I cry for a little while and then get up and go "Here's the plan." And it gets me through life

When you put your heart into something you create something wonderful. This is art. the maximum expression of the human soul.

I think the video is about how people who use to have their own dreams get distracted by society's expectations -- superficial things, a bigger house, a stable desk job etc P.s. That crying scene really got to me, the realization that 6 years are wasted just like that, blindly following what society expects us to do, becoming the same as everyone else. I did have a part of my life where I was dwelling in that phase

Everyone: Aw I cried Me: what the hell is up with this houses structural integrity

Always come back to this animation at least once a year. Just something about it the message is a good reminder. And I make a rule to watch it straight through with no distractions or clicking off or pausing.

This is what marriage is. It's passion, and love, and dreams for the future at first, that evolves into responsbilities, and boredom, and ruts, and kids, and drifting apart........and then back together.......and repeat........and repeat........and repeat. There are times you can't wait to be together and times you wish you could just go your own way. You fall into and out of love over and over again. And if you just stick with it, before you know it, you're in your 70's and can look back at all you've shared and endured. We celebrate our 50th anniversary soon. And I'm so glad we stuck it out.

Kitty: " *Here's the plan* " Doggo: Ahh, here we go again...

everyone : *marriage goals* Me: *house goals*

It was really good, I loved the animation no lines showing, a story about a couple struggling to get money until years of work, and the characters! I love their personality the husband so shy, so gentle ( at times), doing what's the best for them. The wife so confident, so kind and generous, having brilliant ideas into their life's! Keep doing this as long as you can your animation is wonderful just wonderful!

These types of Shorts always break my heart

"Where's the milk?" Hmm let me check in this unrefrigerated cabinet…

I can imagine being the neighbors. "Hey, Susan, I think Kat had another plan" "Why's that, Dear?" "She's tearing a hole in the wall right now. Oh, now they're hugging" "Harold, stop stalking the neighbors" Okay stop liking this. For real. Go outside and ride a bike or something. Thanks Dillon Suduth for the name update.

This is why I love animation, it’s not about money, fame or anything like that, it’s all about dreaming and magic ❤

The amount of detail put into this piece really shows. The richer they got, the colder the environment became. All of the colors are dull and lifeless. Even just having the glass dolls break, the subtle messages are sooo good. Really shows how money just does not buy happiness. Sure it can bring comfort but it's not worth sacrificing so much of what you love for it. This is just so well made. one of my all time fav animations for sure, just wonderful work

I love the corgi's doglike manners and co-dependant ways. And the cat's just doing her thing, like a cat.

The heart breaking part is that the cupcake never broke! Just like their plan! They planned to build a bakery! But wanting more, their plan was forgotten, but not broken! Just like the cupcake 😢😢😢

This is something that was in my head between dogs and cats loving each other 😊

This was amazing, I was almost at happy tears at the end And not even a Pixar movie can do that

*Breaks down a wall* "lets not get a divorce" "Okay then!"

Kitty do dis Doggo do dat But when u turn bac The oven do the crac

It's a really cute story. Makes me realise how most of people as a couple just lose connection with each other. Miss each other from the inside unknowingly. They keep on working to get money and have things which doesn't bring that much happiness. Instead we need a balance to in both work and personal lives. Work life gives up financial stability and personal life with each other gives up mental peace, relaxation, tiredness that we face in our day to day work life 🌸

HOW ARE SHORT FILMS BETTER THAN MOST MOVIES!!! I’M CONCERNED ABOUT MY ADDICTION TO SHORT FILMS!

He loved her for her passion. As she grew apart from who she really was, out of fear to fall back into destitution, he couldn't see her anymore. Not the woman he fell in love with, but just a woman... This is also a very nice animated film that shows how one can lose their dreams easily...

I DID NOT SIGN MY PERMISSION SLIP FOR THIS FEELS TRIP

Lot of couples need to learn from this short film

Это очень хороший пример того, что не нужно забывать про свои мечты. Мы учимся в школе, заканчивает институт, начинаем работать ещё помня о своей мечте, но потом это затягивает как болото, ты откадываешь на потом, позже становиться рутиной и наконец появляется семья, и тебе уже кажется, что сейчас не подходящий момент, то сложная работа, то командировка, то ребенок маленький. А жизнь идёт, она проходит, а ты так и не реализуетэшь ни одной своей мечты. Для меня этот фильм стал пробуждением, ведь именно это я сейчас и делаю, мне так жаль.

I really love how the background color changes depending on the mood

I'm a guy and I usually see the women in these types of stories who stick to the plan and the guy gets successful elsewhere. This is refreshing

This was truly amazing. So touching, emotional and powerful. Truly a wonderful message for married couples. It literally has me in tears. Well done. 💕

Help its so cute in the beginning but everything starts to break 😭

man.. i lost it when he said “cupcake good”. could not hold back the tears

The bigger the house got, The bigger the gap between their love got.

wow, this is such an underrated creator. this animation IS SO GOOD! but.. the creator isn't even verified? you deserve that silver plaque, Fernanda!

Just beautiful. The images, the music, the characters, the idea, the story... thank you for this piece of humanity.
