I'm pretty amazed that nobody mentioned the absolutely marvelous soundtrack in the comments. It's sooo good!

I love this story because though it’s not super likely to happen in the wild, it’s not completely unrealistic either because there are actually stories of predator and prey becoming, in their own way “friends”. It was really cute and the animals moved so gracefully. Well done!

This is really nice. I love the way it's animated, especially the fur and how it behaves in the wind and how graceful the animals are. Other than that - unrealistic, but very adorable story.

I loved it when the fox just dived face into the snow in the beginning it was adorable XD

When the tail wraps round and the mouse looks up to see his friend who’s rescued him. Beautiful.

It was a roller coaster of emotion for me.

Le design des personnages mêlé à la musique donnent vraiment une atmosphère onirique unique et attrayante, vraiment un très beau travail.

I love that silly little red owl and how he had to glance at the blue owl before realizing what expression he was supposed to be making. Little touches that make a great character!

Everything in this short film is amazing From the history to the movement of the fur The amazing soundtrack. Even the credits were well animated! I love this film!

I've never seen owls look simultaneously sinister and adorable.

I love this short film a lot, it's absolutely beautiful! The fox and the mouse had a cute bond together in the end.

A really good story. Made me cry tears of joy. Good ending. A fox and a mouse becomes friends. Good animation. For all ages.

Saw this on a plane back from Scotland yesterday and thought it was the cutest thing! The art is beautiful and the story is so adorably touching. I didn't get a chance to see the title on the plane so i quickly wrote down "fox saves mouse from owls animated short" so I could look it up when I got home. So glad I found it!

I *love* the tiny paws of the fox!!

If this would be a movie I would watch it five-thousand times, and I would keep it in a drawer so that it's safe. This is soooo cute

I like the design/style of the fox and the mouse. Cute.

J'ai été touché, époustouflé, amusé par beaucoup de courts métrages de l'ESMA postés sur cette chaîne. C'est simple, pour moi celui-ci les surpasse tous. Animation, scénario, composition des plans, transitions, musique... Je vous tire mon chapeau, l'équipe, et vous pouvez même le garder.

I love this story

I love the side changing. The owls prevented Fox from eating mouse. Fox saved mouse from drowning. Then fox protected mouse from the owls who also eat mice, then mouse and fox became friends. Love the animation.

"Oke so lets troll this mouse so i can eat him later." thought fox "Come fox, lemme bring you to where my frends live." said mouse "ahh jackpot" Thought fox

I’m doing this video for a plot assignment and I’m in a zoom rn

Thumbs up. Unrealistic, but good animation. The fox and mouse were beautifully done.

THE FOXES FACE IS SO ADORABLE

I LOVE the little mouse! It's so cute, and beautifully rendered!

4:10 SO FREAKING MAGESTIC

C'est juste énorme! Franchement, bravo!! Les designs sont supers chous, les ombres et lumières magnifiques, c'est très fluide, jolie, l'histoire est simple mais originale et mignonne... J'adore la neige, et cet effet de pelage incroyable... Les gestes des animaux et surtout le renard, sont majestueux et on comprend bien les sentiments (on remarque, l'hésitation, la curiosité, l'amusement.. ) grâce à ça, c'est très réaliste, félicitations!!! Mais ce que je l'ai plus adoré, c'est lorsqu'il tombe dans l'eau.. le flou du départ, les couleurs, la lumière et les positions.. Wow, c'est génial! La musique est aussi bien choisit je trouve qu'elle sonne très bien avec l'animation... Encore, félicitations à vous tous, et tout ceux qui ont participé et vous ont soutenus!

Saw this in theaters for the oscar nominated shorts. This was beautiful. Loved every second of it. So well animated. Stylized well. The end credits with the water colors (?) are stunning too.

Des textures très soignées, et des animaux très beaux. La musique est en accord avec le déroulement de l'histoire, j'adore ! Super mignon.

Animals love and taken care each other.. good story 👏👏

the best short film i ever seen

Beautiful! The sunlight through the trees at the beginning was so real and breathtaking. I also love the lifelike interpretations of the animals’ actions; the slight cock of the fox’s head as he hears an infinitesimal sound coming from underneath the snow, and the little rear end wiggle and pounce. Mostly, the vulnerability and trust recognized to enhance the friendship. Clear, voluminous, and gorgeous soundtrack and film! Best one yet! Thank you for this!!! ❤️🐾❤️😊🦊🐭

Merci ! Merci ! je suis touchée par l'espoir que vous transmettez dans cette histoire... d'Amour !

J'ai trouvé ça vraiment adorable ! La souris est vraiment full cute !

I really like the physics of snow and their fur. XD

World record: The cutest story in the world! really!

Wow!!!! I really liked this one. How they made the fox was so elegant. The owls are a little....derby! The music is very good. The plot is very nice. Good job!!!!!!!

le plus beau court métrage que j'ai jamais vu

Okay, first, I love this animation! The storyline is so creative and the animation itself is so smooth! And second, I am sick of people saying "Oh, I like this even though it's *unrealistic* ", Seriously! I understand that this isn't something that's likely to happen but by saying that in the way you've interpreted, it sounds like you're being rude to the animator, because, of course it's not that 'realistic' it's an animation! In animations not everything is fact! You can easily say, "I liked this animation! Even if the characters relationships aren't likely to happen in real life!" Or even better, don't say it all at. Because that's the wonder of animation, that you can bend it to your own will with no limits! To let your imagination go free without people telling you it's 'unrealistic' , because, for example, if someone had said that to me (if I were an animator) I would feel discouraged to animate anything outside the box or creative, but would simply side to fact, which people would get bored of easily and my animations would only fade to nothingness or boring fact! So please, just enjoy the animation for what it is and if you want to comment something positive about it or maybe even a critique, don't add in 'it was unrealistic', because just think of the outcome of this story if this was based on fact. Thank you, keep up the good work! 😊💯

joli scénario, magnifique musique ,climat général accrocheur ,sensibilité et réalité respectés. bravo .

Protecting someone is an ultimate act of kindness.

Really awesome! Animation, characters, music... The owls are super cute, I love the style they made! There are too many animation movies have identical style nowadays, but this film is an excellent exception to the trend Really great work!

2:35 that scene reminds me of Bambi when he wad trying to stand on ice. XD - I love that part.

the fox looks sooooo AMAZING ,its adorable but out of no where it can look like a total beast!!!

I wish this was a true story, but of course, it might be allegorical as far as my dissolute self can tell.Thank you. Great film.

There's just something about prey and predators befriending eachother that i like :3 Very good animation, i can really sense the different thoughts of the animal characters, good job on giving them such clear expressions. The 3d models are very well done too, the mouse is extremely cute and the fox has a nice design. The owls are abit cartoony but that's good cause it feels easier to tell their motivations and thoughts then. All in all, it's really good work! :D

SOOO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So cute! I love stories that prey and predictor end up befriending each other 😸

Magnifique, juste magnifique. L'effet de la fourrure, de la neige, de l'eau et de la glace sont superbement réalisés.

awww that fox 😍💙🐺 I love fox

Whoever it is, stop my crying 😭

La mélodie du début ne donne envie de voir la suite ...cette belle introduction magnifique histoire c'est beau merci pour ce moment de plaisir

This cartoon is just beautiful! It made me get all teary-eyed. Thumbs up a thousand times over!

Vous avez une super maitrise d'Houdini ! Vos formateurs ont été très pédagogue.

Daww, this is just like Kagemono!

A very touching story beautifully shown. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the emotional interaction between the characters. They were very well drawn. And the end was so cute and satisfying.

How heartwarming to see animals behave with contrived and sentimental human emotions.

cute fox

Wow, vraiment magnifique, les Soundtracks et tous, l'histoire, même si elle n'est pas longue (comparée à un film) on s'attache vite au personnages c: Certaines partie du Soundtracks me font penser à ceux de The Last Guardian!

This story touched me a lot. Differences doesn't matter in a friendship. ❤️

Wonderful and moving!

So funny , I very like!

so cuuuuuutte😍😍😍😍 i love

Who can not give a thumbs up to this adorableness

I love this story. And I love the way it's animated. This is a story that made me smile.

Nice animation! I'm surprised nobody has pointed out the sound track yet tho.

4:58 that would be a gorgeous wallpaper!

The little mouses face as it sunk made me cry I watched with my grandson he loved it as much as me

this is such a cute story I'm literally gonna take a minute and cry.

Nature: How it should have been done.

so beautyful

This is the most cutest animation I have ever watched

Wow le travail sur la neige et les poiles sont vraiment fou !! Bravo

4:36 owl on right me being shook

i recently learned that foxes actually cant snarl, growl, or bare their teeth. instead, they open their mouths wide and scream. (im not making this up i swear)

What a good story of forgiveness and compassion with friendship,

it was so cute.I liked the part where the Fox rated the mous

cute😍

and then the fox starves to death

The fox is adorable. I enjoyed this. Its very cute.

Delightful! And the fox was brilliantly expressive.

per tutti quelli del compito di inglese mi raccomando di lasciare like a questo commento matteo solinas /giorgeri il boss/pellegrini/bay

cool fox and mouse story,sub and laik

A heart touching story indeed...

oh sooo cute fox + mouse = friendship! good job on this

An animal the size of a mouse will never be able to recover it's body temperature after getting wet in freezing weather. It's going to die even if the predators don't eat it. ...If this was realistic.

I'm First!

That mouse is adorable.

Cette histoire est vraiment magnifique et émouvante !!! Merci ESMA mouvies

lets be real. a fox would just let the rat die.

ُThis story has been romanticize by the feeling of the human being , and how he looks to this world. It reflects how humans are not stratified with the balance of this nature that God had already done in it

This story was very nice! It felt like a Disney movie. Beautifully done!

Aww, the friendship is adorable!!!

FINALLY! A STORY WHERE THE FOX ISN'T THE BAD GUY!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

this made me cry silently omg beautiful story

The fur texture, marvelous

Wonderful film! And the music is outstanding- on its own and in the way it enhances the story. Thank you to all of the creative minds and hearts who worked on this for sharing this beautiful gift.

Whoever disliked was common people..not a creative people...this is amazing video..hats off..

I love the animations on the fur, and the eyes, but most of all, CUTEST STORY ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH!!!

histoire simple et pourtant inattendu et les animation et les personnages sont vraiment bien géré alors bravo

i love the foxes fur details in the wind it really brings it to life
