Although there is no dialogue, the anthropomorphic creature's body language conveyed its emotions and thoughts. The whole time, it was thinking, "I just want to get out of this depressing and scary box and be free out there beyond that hole in the ceiling!" Once it finally achieves its goal, it finds an even more depressing situation of being stuck in a box, but now with no goal to accomplish, no where else to go.

This is like having a depression and anxiety at the same time, a visual representation of how people want to get rid of it.

The second box is lightened. This made me think about the process of lightning the shadows. Making the inconscious conscious. To realize that we are inside the box is, perhaps, the first step to freedom ourselfs from ourselfs. Also, there is something interesting: in the first box, the person in it trys to discover the logic behind the moving walls, trys to figure out a sequence of right moves, seeking desesperatly a strategy to escape by the hole. But, unexpectedly , the way out came to him! The way out did not depended of his efforts. Instaed, the way out came like a "boom", ilogical, from nowhere, without explication. What´s happened? This makes me think that thinking and controling maybe is not the best way to connect with ourselfs. There is something else!! Peace!

the soundscape is awesome. The editing is awesome. This is so wonderful. I am very impressed. The animation was so funny when he slips off the wall and goes tumbling about. You imbued him with a lot of heart. I believe he is real.

...very entertaining, paticularly the butt scratch at 2:28, lol..

The ending resonates quite profoundly: Life has meaning when there is hope or something to look forwards to. Similar to our lives, we are only able to push forward and toil in our mundane lives because hope exists and is present everywhere. Hope of a better, prosperous future. Without it, the bleakness of our lives would become unbearably oppressive and humanity would cease to exist. As long as the hole above exists for humanity, we will continue to evolve and develop, seek technological and medical advancements, etc.

Brilliant concept - so many variations on the sliding wall idea. I can see the character thinking, and I'm with him all the way.

amazing. just. amazing. the animation, the meaning, the character, just, beautiful.

Who else got this in there recommendation

this is art man, i loved every part of it, very clever! and amazing how much of a story you can build with so little elements, this is flawless

Ещё одно испытание и он найдет выход к спасению, тем менее он уже выбрался из тьмы. Хороший мультипликационный фильм, учит нас не сдаваться ни при каких обстоятельствах, ни в большом, ни в малом, ведь большое начинается с малого. Самый главный элемент - это маленькая деталь, а ведь казалось это мелочь, но из этой маленькой мелочи - двигается весь механизм двигателя.

I feel like this could be a representation of life and how people have the same routine every day and a job they don't like, etc. like the box represents the confinements of life. The way it fell naturally to me suggests death..after a lifetime of trying to get to escape somehow, naturally your life ends but there is this box which is a higher place, like heaven or something along those lines, but it ends up being just the same, but more dream like..notice how it seems there isn't a hole in the second box, because after the 'afterlife' you can't really die..

2:05 - 2:15 My brain when I'm trying to do the homework during class and the teacher starts collecting it

I'm trying to contact the creator of this video ... Can anyone help ? Thanks

This has a deep meaning

What a brilliant work in every sense. Short and simple yet the message is far reaching and impactful. Talk about creativeness. Bravo !!!

1:34 2:28 3:34 My favorite moments 😂😂 and of course that one at 3:45 💖💞

Me encanta esta animación, lo he visto varias veces. Excelente trabajo.

If I where this guy, I wouldn't have even tried in the beginning. This puppet is a true hero!

This animation is like the quarantine, the box is like that, and us are the puppet... Amazing stop motion

That was amazing dude. The sound, animation, art scenario. Idk where this guy comes, but they now exactly how to create art out of simple puppets. 😎👌🏻👌🏻

Es muy impresionante, este trabajo es de tan alta calidad que no me caso de verlo, la conservación de la energía, la fluidez. Es absolutamente encantador

The grass isn't always greener! Excellent film!

A perfect description of the choices we make in our lives and how our wisdom and intelligence work on those life choices. In the end, if we are able to accomplish what we wanted to, in our lives, what will we do after that. Even this is shown accurately.

2:28 "Hmmm. Maybe I can think better if I just scratch my butt." 3:46 "Sunnuva bitch ... butt-scratching didn't work."

This reminds me of one of those bad, surreal dreams where I don't seem to have an actual body but I'm able to see and hear everything, like my head is stuck inside a dark box. I'm trying to breathe deeply because I feel kind of suffocated and I'm trying to reach around to make sense of my surroundings but it's impossible because I don't have arms or legs.

what a gem of a film! Simply fantastic

5:10 My freaking song. Weird humanoid shaped thing anthem. 🤘🏽💥🤘🏽💥

Out of one box and into another. The struggle of keeping up with the Jonses.

2019? Anyone? Help?

None of my expectations were met. Loved it.

Love those old shorts. Awe these were best compared to the crap today.

me encanto, es increible el trabajo, felicidades a todo el grupo.

I was thinking, "maybe up, in the light, is another box"; oh, yes it was :) ! Good work!

Beautiful piece of filmmaking.

Свет внизу, на полу - это проекция выхода из коробки. Оставаясь в этом световом квадрате, можно было ждать, пока упадет потолок. Но очень долго. Тем не менее, это единственное правильное место. Потолок сам по себе, упал бы не скоро. Его поддерживают стены коробки. Значит, надо выполнить два условия: 1. Оставаться в световом квадрате 2. Раздвинуть стены Если представить, что коробка - это сознание, то можно сказать, что надо было расширить сознание, оставаясь в свете, оставаясь осознанным. Опора потолка исчезла и он рухнул. Благодаря нахождению в свете, осознанности, герой мультфильма не был раздавлен, он просто перешел на некий новый уровень. Можно вывести мораль: если не можете удерживаться в свете, аккуратно расширяйте свое сознание, от вашего "местоположения " в "коробке" зависит, придавит вас потолок или вы вы благополучно выйдете на новый уровень.

3:46 me when i was little trying to get the cereal on top of the fridge

Люблю стоп моушен анимацию)👍

Fantastic. Good job with the movements and creative storyline.

Really great !!! Thanks to share your work.

Suffering. Endurance. Pulling through.

This is one amazing piece of art

2020?

Quien más se siente identificado con el corazón de ella 😢

I saw this masterpiece just 5 years ago, I found it again and it is just great.

This was the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. I’m so happy this came up on my recommended.

2:10 Me: gets up really fast *0.5 seconds later*

can i do a review of this animation?? i love the stop motion of very early age :)

Great stuff...pretty much enjoyed the simplicity you used here!

イライラしてんの めっちゃ可愛い

The sculpted butt makes this 10x better than it already is lmao

Brilliant ❤

What a great and amazing concept!!!... This is a master piece!!!

celkom pekné :):)

i just think that how people tried to fulfill their wishes but when they achieve another wish was developed. . . and this circle was continue it self till the person died !!!

Really neat stuff!

wonderful animation. fabulous ideas. A rare treat on KZfaq.

well I enjoyed that! it was a bit depressing that he still ended up in a box :(

Simplesmente Genial !!!

Wow! this is awesome animating!!! love the scenario!!!

Phenomenal stop motion and the body language of the figurine conveyed every emotion. Though I felt letdown when filmmaker took the viewers into this box but leaving us and the figure without an escape... afterall who among us did not feel empathy for it, then sadness at the end? At least it now has a place to sit, but I would prefer to spend my days in the shadows of the box below and not in the glaring light

He was like All of That just for this

“I WORKED SO HARD TO GET OUT OF THE BOX!................to get into another box.......... :(

An all too appropriate anecdote in pandemic isolation! Lovely short

I usually eat when I start watching sum but this is so interesting I haven’t even touched my food yet

2019???

Me dio paranoia. Es el Unico, en la caja rara, y arriba hay otra caja. En esos momentos, es mejor la muerte

The character’s body language portrays his emotions and thoughts...

Realy amazing! Good good work!

4:04 me giving up on life

Nice simple scenography!

Круто. Явно с комнатой кто то эксперементирует. Отличный символ жизни в обществе.

This whole vid is basically me trying to reach my goals.

The box it mean the life, the hole it mean the goal, and the second box mean : This is all worthless

That's amazing work. Thank you for making this

Bravo! Excellent in every aspect.Hope you go on creating animations!

"I'm the man in the box"... Any alice in chains fans?

2019?? Anyone

awesome piece. very interesting. I like the puppet. the animation is quite good

I now understand how the future is BRIGHT. Thank you

Czech wow❤

I'm in this part of youtube again...

Veľmi pekné dali ste si a tým veľa práce 👌😉👍

KZfaq:lets recommend this after 12 years

2019?

2:22 xD

the ending is perfect!

Amazing work and poor guy, just another box.

2019? Reportence xD

Hope is cruel.

this is well animated stop motion is probably my favorite animated

what a great representation of life... work extremely hard to get out of a locked room and when you finally get through the hole you find yourself locked in an almost identical room...

кто с 2019?

Смысл: век думай, век ищи, дураком останешься

Love the sound effects !

I think this just shows how ur in one problem in life and just when you thought you solved it or found a way out, another issue occurs

That's how your AI model feels when your're learning it.

Thanks very much for the earrape at the end
