problem with that is the algorithm doesnt recommend their usual content and it still stays under the rug

@@atlasdude. Always, All these amazing channels with under 30k views.

Aw man I'm glad to hear that. I went into making this cause I think I get into my own head a lot about it, its really nice to see all the ppl who seem to have felt similar. And I agree, it doesn't sound so bad in the end :)

​​@@NapoleonVIINapsharing is caring! We are a family of emotions and experiences. We are at the table of ideas, enjoying the potluck that we have brought to each other. In this parasocial case, your dish being the centerpiece that we appreciate.

it did the opposite to me, glad you've accepted it though

Don't be fooled, being an adult is really scary. Its also really fun and rewording, as long as you don't let your fear control you :)

Buddy let me tell you. Being grown up isn't easy and yeah it has lots of woes. But being able to say, do, shop, think, eat, go, wherever you want? Being able to trade your energy and time, even at a place you possibly hate, for at least money and experience, is galaxies way better than being forced to against your will be stuck for 5 days a whole week unpaid in a place that is boring and miserable where you get bullied or have to worry about grades and learning things that are mostly useless and being valued as a human being for how well you always fall in line or just shut up and repeat back what is already known a hundred times. Nobody for the most part likes doing adult work but the cool thing about it is, not only can you choose it, when someone mistreats you you can actively pursue legal Justice, or at least just quit the job, without any legal consequences about it. You can forgo jobs and be an entrepreneur or just sit on your butt at home all day and rely on a sugar daddy, or welfare, or good friends help... it doesn't matter...no one at the end ultimately can tell you who to really be or why you should do something without your consent first. There is no fixed destiny for any of us and when you're a kid you have to be ground to a pulp trying to figure that out and that pressure is driving everyone mad in their teenage years. But when you're an adult you realize I could just turn this car around and go wherever *I* want, whenever I want, if I really have to and I have all the means to. Unlike when you're young you don't honestly need to demand of yourself anything beyond what personally keeps you alive and satisfies you. When you grow up, you you don't give a crap about "cringe." You don't have to care if you choose not to what the neighbors say or the other adults say. I mean you can but unlike School you aren't usually forced into situations against your will to be round others who judge you. Having freedom is more important than anything. Appreciate it whenever you get there instead of dreading the future or wallowing in the past.

Sounds like some great memories. I definitely agree the movie was probably difficult to market, it came out the same time as that 'Where the Wild Things Are' movie, and I think both had this sort of "who was this made for" feel that lead them to financially flop but boy is it a gem

@@NapoleonVIINap 4:21 Hi what is this from, Where was this shown? ;3

Oh its actually super neat, the 2009 Oscars for animation had a little 'pre-recorded message' by each of the "nominees" so Mr. Fox, Russel from Up, etc all gave a quick little message to the academy thanking them for their nomination. It's cute and I wish they still did it @@onojioboardwalk9748

@@NapoleonVIINap :> Aw nice! I will look that up. Its like missing dvd-footage..

@@NapoleonVIINap .. Yknow i just found 3 versions of those on youtube from that event. One of them even plays the 'Wolf' theme as the oscar 'Music.' >)

...for..?

@@stellap-m4345 you know (I forgot to add the rest)

Especially since Roald Dahl is welsh.

this sounds like a great college essay thesis

You have all right to feel hopeless. Loss is something that becomes familiar with age. Please know that grieving is necessary to move on. Don't look back with regret rather everything she did for you. Bringing everyone together not just during thanksgiving, but as a family. Someone who has been there since the beginning building the family you have now, while leaving the best parts behind; you. Her legacy is you. Don't think she is gone, no- "live with the life of two". Live your life not just for yourself rather for her as well. Be more not just for yourself, but for those around you. It's what she would want. I can say it gets better, but it's up to you on if it does. Wish you nothing but the best, much love and take care.

@@TFUCKER Thank you, this really means a lot

ure 18 lmfao. ure a kid still

@@kdjdjsj3645 do you remember how scary that was? do you remember the adults telling you you were just a kid still? how meaningless your words felt when they were dismissed as something childish? the feelings you feel your entire life are real. whether youre 10, 18, 20, 40, or 100 your experiences are yours and they matter. they shape you as a human being, they shape the memories you look back on, they shape the person you will be in the future. 18 is relatively young in the grand scope of things but 18 is what we call an adult in america. 18 is your approach into "real" life and your departure from that comforting idea of childhood. everyones pushing you to grow up, and youre pushing yourself to grow up, and you dont really know what to expect looking forward, just what people tell you. being 18 is terrifying, and i say this as a person a decent bit past those years. you can say "grow up" but rather i think we should encourage being young. doing the things that make you happy, doing the things you feel are right, and as you stumble your way through those rough years youll learn the right things to do, learn from mistakes, learn who you are and who youve always been. 18 is still a kid maybe, but what stops 30 from still being a kid in the eyes of a 60 year old? an older person can look back and think "oh how naive" at a man with a wife and kids and a 6 figure salary. dont ever forget the perspective of other people, or the perspective you yourself had at your own stages in life.

The slowed down "stay with me" with these themes being discussed hits so spirtually deep

I really love animation of nearly every kind, and the direction and VA were incredible, not to mention the story. One of my favorite movies too

I love this movie

It ain’t even been a day give it some time

Wow that's crazy

Faxx

Because it's long,

It has 100 thousand views and it's been two days

This is something I experienced too, though I'm 30. I don't remember a single cartoon, TV show, etc that portrayed adulthood as something good. We even had Codename: Kids Next Door, which basically had that as its entire premise. I don't know how much of that was just the tropes typical to kids media (any setting with competent, responsible adults is one where kid heroes won't be going on adventures) and how much was propaganda. Thankfully, it worked out eventually, mostly because I found Lord Jesus. I'll Pray for you.

I got very similar feelings around the time i was 16-17. I realised my childhood was over and very soon what people and society expected from me was going to change very very drastically. I'm 24 now, it's not too bad, being broke sucks, realising University doesn't help as much as I thought it would sucks, but I would absolutely not ever go back to being a teenager. I would advise ignoring anything people online say about "if you're not X by the time you're Y age what are you doing", and you'll have a much better time in adulthood

Growing up is amazing. If you had a great childhood you get the opportunity to pay it back to your parents while also going on solo adventures. If you had an awful childhood you get to escape and feel safe for possibly the first time in your life. I don’t know whose been smack talking adulthood to you but it’s amazing. 🎉

​@@mommalion7028But at the same time, as someone who just started college, I do think I'm worse off with each new responsibility I have to juggle than I was before. Maybe it's because I'm still new to being an adult, but I can't say I agree about growing up being amazing, especially the last year or so since once I hit adult age I got slammed with way too many responsibilitiies at once. I feel like I don't have time to do the things I did in my free time after normal school, like experimenting with sewing and baking. So honestly I see why so many people say bad things about it, and I agree with them.

Growing up is hard. I won't delude you. But, if you can face it bravely and give it your best, it is worth it. You will have many more responsibilities, but also more freedom. With that freedom, of course, comes danger, and it is difficult to decide where to go or what to do. Just do your best to enjoy meeting people and learning things anyone the way. Good luck, and may God bless you.

Thats really really kind of you to say, I appreciate it. I had a great time making this video so I'm thrilled so many others seem to be connecting with it. Thanks so much

You should be proud of yourself for pursuing your dreams at any age! Congrats on being in college, that's awesome.

God Bless! We really weren't prepared well, were we? The last few generations (I'd say Gen X, Gen Y and Millennials especially) have been failed pretty badly by the system. Still, try not to pay attention to that feeling, it's not true. Jesus loves you no matter how well or poorly your youth was spent, and loving Him back is what will matter in the end, when all other things fade away.

Hey man, as somebody who still wishes that he just took a few gap years during the pandemic, good on you. You did what was best for yourself at the time. Hope you had a good time at the showing.

amen, brother.

I'm 34 and feel I've blown it, but I know 44 year Olds, 54 year Olds, 64 year Olds who turn their lives around. You're never going to feel finished, if we were ever satisfied we wouldn't have buildings government, internet, penicillin. Congratulations, you're on the very cusp of your pre frontal cortex being fully developed and that is a game changer. Have fun.

When writing, you can just quotes, a "fantastic" take. You don't need to write "quote unquote", that's the purpose of the punctuation.

Thank You, @@jordank5328 I was aware of that. However, in the movie he says aloud “quote unquote” and I figured I would reference it in that way

@@aquaz_1895 Don't worry, I got the reference right away. 👌

Perfectly said, fall into who you are. We are always changing, and growing. Some of us continue to grow, some of us do not.

good insight, i didnt even watch the video yet, but this was a profound reflection worth reading

nobody's going to start your life for you and all that time will pass whether you're living it meaningfully or not x

I heard this story about a fish. He swims up to this older fish and says, "I'm trying to find this thing they call the ocean." "The ocean?" says the older fish. "That's what you're in right now." "This?" says the young fish. "This is water. What I want is the ocean."

The time will pass anyways

Oh man careful with the compliments, you'll give me a big head 😅 Thats super kind of you though, I'm glad you enjoyed it I had a great time making it!

Nah, I'd say it's fine. Work is important, and it can be quite fulfilling, but ultimately work is something we do for survival in society. The least well adjusted people I ever met working were the ones who worked so much that it became a central part of their identity. No interests, no hobbies, no ability to simply socialize. My advice? Do your best at work, don't slack off, but understand that you have a set amount of work hours. Don't be scared to spend more time on your interests and your life than on work. Specially if you're an employee, not a business owner.

I was at 960 before this video... its def been a crazy 2 days with this video😅 But thanks thats kind of ya to say

​@NapoleonVIINap bro I watched it the first time when you were still there. Congrats. This was perfect and may go down the movie review hall of fame.

As someone who's twice you age, I can't tell you that we're never ready to grow up. Accepting that is part of growing up. If you only act when you're absolutely ready, I assure you that you're gonna end up missing things out. I speak from experience.

Congratulations!! thats awesome I hope you're doing well with your transitioning thats a big step and I wish you the most happiness with it

I hope your okay, God bless

Thats so so kind of you, thanks! I think making this helped me find that positivity with my relationship to growing up/growth and I'm so glad it seems to be resonating with others too

​@@NapoleonVIINapmuch needed and appreciated positivity. In this kalyug, I and many have become doomers or dissociated but stuff like this helps us to feel beautiful and appreciate life again. :) It is bittersweet but we cling to hope.

hell yeah

Genuinely why would you want to be part of the kids table??? Being a child is just being existentially raped over and over again until your strong enough to defend yourself

@@Eat_shit--die_mad seems you have some major baggage to unpack, idk what to tell you

God why do you care? Children are annoying stupid troglodytes, people need to stop this culture of being a adult means your never allowed to ask for help or not know what to do, when your born into this world no one is looking out for you, the only difference now is that you've realized the fact that was always their, being a child is a traumatizing pointless battle created by your own helplessness, abuse and exploitation from lack of consent is inevitable. If I ever get my 3 wishes one of them would be to make childhood and children cease to exist, people are meant to be complete beings stop glamorizing the helpless larval state we are all forced to suffer through

Congratulations!! Thats awesome to hear, I hope you're doing well transitioning. That's super kind of you to say as well

No. Grow up.
