To be fair that is a very legitimate fear for old people. Especially when they live alone.

He wasnt scared of falling, rather he was scared of breaking or dying. When he fell, and smelled the flower, he realized death is not breaking apart or the end, but he saw it as a return to the grounds where his flowers come from; a return to his favorite part of the world.

Meaning of the story: Its okay to fall because when you get back up, you'll see things differently 😄

Beautiful story. I think the man was not wrong in his fears in the first two cases. Those would have been fatal (falling from such height or falling down the stairs). But he became exaggerated in his fear and started to worry about little things like stumbling. So, I think fear is good till some point. But it gets wrong when it turns into paranoia. For example, you are afraid to go in a dangerous zone, and that's ok, but being afraid to simply leave the house because something might happen is really not ok. So I think the moral is considering fear to be some advisor but never leave it to totally control your life.

Running away from problems is not a solution We have to face problem

*The Commenter Who Was Afraid of Tiny Holes*

The music scoring is very nicely done.

This was so sweet, I just want to hug the old man

This is really sad for me, because my grandfather was so afraid of falling that when he did fall, he worked himself into such a panic that he actually died.

The pot represents our physical body while the flower represents our soul. Eventually our body dies and will be buried. But our soul will forever live. That's why in the end? the old man looked up in the sky. There's no need to fear death. We simply have to prepare for it.

Is anyone going to talk about the holes on his chin it makes me feel unpleasant!!😂

The fact that he could afford two sudden moves is what's on my mind. #WelcometoAdulthood

Really charming animation with a strong message at heart about how our fears can consume us if we ignore them too long. As someone who struggles day to day with social anxiety, depression and OCD I see a lot of myself in the old man despite my lesser age. Such simple, trivial things have sadly become obsessions through their reoccurrence and my brain blowing things out of proportion. I, too, need to 'plant my flower' and look up at the wonder of the world surrounding me lest my fears, both rational and irrational, consume me. Sometimes it can be the most simple things that resonate with you and make you evaluate your own life. I can only hope that anyone out there in a similar predicament can find some hope and enjoy life the way it's meant to be x

The music matches up with everything happening in the video........

If I was his age, I'd be afraid to fall too

This one was amazing. The story was deep (the good kind) and I really liked how the music and the visuals changed to go along with the plot. Great job on this. :-)

Not afraid of falling but afraid of dying... he came to terms with it :L

What I've gotten from the video: the old man is actually really afraid of death. He saw death as something very bad, ugly, painful and sad like the shattered vase, the torn out books, the broken kettle and the shattered picture frames. Then when he actually fell, he fell on a bed of flowers. Ah... Death can be comforting, relieving and beautiful. So he took the vase of flowers which should've been 'gone' before, and left it on the ground, letting the flowers be the beauty for the next life to enjoy. I hope all elders enjoy this video, not suffering from the fear of death. As you'll be leaving behind happy, beautiful moments to the younger generation. 💐🌸🏵️🌹🌺🌻🌼🌷

Beautiful story. I especially loved the lighting and design of the interiors.

He was very DOWN TO EARTH

nobody: some old man: so if you scratch ground and you'll get chocolate cereal for your flower 3:26

This is some beautiful artwork. I loved the subtle then deep emotions of it all. Visually stimulating as well. When things are going right in our life sometimes we are faced with circumstances that leads us to have fearful imaginings. We then create our next path instead of accepting that we have to be accepting of change and see things for what they are not how we think they should be. If we face challenging circumstances with a fearful mind then we will face the same circumstances unless we become aware of what life is revealing to us. There is beauty even in the midst of chaos. Thanks for sharing.

Ownnnn so remarkable, sweet, so sensitive, touching. That reminds me those good times that we’re normally lost along our ways. Thanks for bringing back those memories and thoughts ❤️😍

Fantastic creation. I love how much detail was put into the old man's face. Beard stubble and all. 😊

I love this, the message is good, and that old man is just so precious!

I sent this to a man I adore, who seem so afraid of being vulnerable. I wanted him to know he didn’t have to play it safe. When you fall I’ll catch you ♥️

The work behind this is incredible, thank you for this video

I love the way he smile. His mustache blooms like a flowerrr 😁

The old man was so afraid of falling that he never took the time to smell the roses.

This was amazing! Loved the animation and the look and style was beautiful!

Profound. He has accepted his own inevitable mortality. He realizes the body falling is actually the beginning of the spirit rising, not the end of anything. He really passes away at the end. It's so peaceful it takes him a moment to see it. And the audience as well. This is an amazing short film.

Fantastic short movie. My personal interpretation is that the fear of falling of this old man is a symbol for the fear of dying. At the beginning he fights this fear, but in the end when he’s in an environment where he feels comfortable he accepts it and he realizes that „falling“ is nothing to be afraid of.

the animation is so AMAZING. subscribed 👏

aww he’s so cute, i just want to cuddle and hug him

I love the music and the animation, both are beautiful combination, good short.

It tells me that "falling isn't always that terrifying"

The message I got from this short is that caging up yourself in a tall, fancy house, far from the ground (wanting to do great things?) can make you feel unsafe and uncomfortable, and it doesn't matter how many reminders of "good things" you have around you (pictures, flowers). So, when you finally find the right environment (setting) for you, although it may look "simple", when you fall it will support you. That way your fears get eliminated. It turns out you were just trying too hard. It might be better to let things run naturally, and become more accepting of things (and yourself) as they are. (Looking at the pictures more carefully, I notice that they show a tree and the man holding his flowers, so all he ever really wanted was to live around trees and flowers, but instead he was keeping his dream in pictures and trying to bring it with him in the big buildings. So he was probably paralyzed by his fears cause he was far from the things he loved. In the last house, he didn't need the pictures cause he didn't need to live in the memory: He was there.) That's my take anyway :)

Such a beautiful story 😭❤️

Endearing animation and very well conceived. Cannot imagine the amount of work that has been devoted in this animation.

This poor sweet old man ❤️

he's too cute!! I can't

beautiful short film, and the soundtrack is very well done and matches perfectly!

Heartbreaking and beautiful! I really enjoyed this.

Theres an Egyptian saying means Only the best of things comes from the things you fear the most الي تخاف منه ميجيش احسن منه

You can't run away from fear..to get over it,you have to face it.

this video envokes a lot of diffrent meanings to many people! beautiful art, minimalistic yet it conveys everything it needs to!

Awww, this is so beautiful. There's something relaxing about stop motion

Man, I like all these little colorful and original animations... :)

Wow... so touching, everyone has their fears , even me.😊😊😇

Loved the puppets & artistic models. Very well done.

“It's not the fall that kills you; it's the sudden stop at the end.” ― Douglas Adams Really moving short animation; great story and subtle style.

Really enjoyed it thank you : )

The things that you avoid might wind up happening, but how will you handle it? Will you endure it or will you let it break you? This is a lovely, well done film about a fear that several people actually do have.

Beautiful on so many levels. The thing that we are most afraid of usually doesn't end up being nearly as catastrophic as what our minds imagine.

This is lovely, superb piece of work!

the violin music at first few seconds was beautiful. Where can we listen to the full music?

The man who was afraid of dying, and then he died and found himself in Heaven. The broken/taped up flower pot represented his fragile/broken old body, and his soul was released from his body at the end.

What an absolutely gorgeous little film and, to me, a very profound one. It announced a truth we often miss as we go about our lives: Matter is not destroyed, it is transformed and we do not die, we simply return to the void from which we appeared. The Universe knows what it's doing, as the old man discovered.

I love how merciful and gentle his fall ended up being.

Quién español?

Only 30 seconds into the video and I have to pause it to say how I'm completely in love with this video's aesthetic

This man is so precious

This was powerful!!

The story just says that not every things that is falling can be broken, sometimes you need to fall so that you can rise up, in the old mans case, he need to fall to not be scared of something there is nothing to be scared of

Next thing you know he’s jumping out of airplanes just to get that adrenaline again

I am always in love with animations! =) my strong respect for channels like this. Very amazing with amazing stories.

Love the artwork and story!

Beautiful 📹❤👍👏

So wonderfully made, amazingly made!

Oh, I could feel his pain. 💔😭 Loooove the jazzy music. Especially when he moves away to the next home; every time I hope things might be better for him.

I'm afraid of his beard

nice message

This is by far my favirote short film

What I learn from the story is that We are all afraid of failing that we ran away from it. Our fear of failure stops us from taking risks and will just waste some opportunities. When the old man fell, it was then he realize that failure isn't that bad at all. It is something that opens us to another path and failing isn't something that we should fear about. It is something that we must face and essential for our selfgrowth.

Stay grounded. You will blossom 🙂

When your english teacher sets you homework about how this is structured to interest the viewer :/

A class of a video!

This is the purest thing ever 🥺

The holes on his beard 😷

The dirt is like chocolate cireal after he dug it out...

I love this kind of animated shorts is very beautiful

"Why do we fall sir? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up."

No pain no gain.

Music is beautifullll

The nature sounds in the back are mesmerizing 😌

This reminds me of my grandfather, he stayed alone all day at home and the last time I visited, he told me that he had just fallen down the stairs !! Ofc it makes me feel guilty. Because when I was young he took care of me, and now I am very busy with my work. I can't visit him often, it really worries me all day long.

man, you don't realize about gravity when you're​ in your seventies

first thought on clicking....his gana fall

This made me cry.

I love that feeling, when the end of the film is GOOD : ) !

I'm a man who is also afraid of falling.. . falling inlove to someone who can't love me back.

His beard makes me trystephobic or however u spell it

One of the best anamation videos

Love the story, love the music.

No one: KZfaq: LeTs PuT tHiS iN yOuR fEeD, sIx YeArS lAtEr
