This is better than just saying don’t buy plastic straws

Aardman animation. This is so impactful that it took my breath away. As a sea turtle biologist and the person who removed 'that straw' from a sea turtle's nose, I can't stress how valuable this video is.

The way they animated them crying felt real.

This is WAY better then saying “don’t put plastic in the ocean”

Can't be the only one who thought this was a trailer for a new movie

I can see Aardman making a dark movie based on this commercial.

"Where's mummy" An ad sponsored by disney.

Me watching this: I'm a brave boy Baby turtle: where's mummy? Me: NOT A BRAVE ENOUGH BOY FOR THIS

"Where's Mummy?" "Gone, reduced to atoms..."

Damn, if Wallace saw this he would drop his cheese.

2019: save the trees 2020: protect the ocean 2021: stop the extinction

When Wallace finds no cheese on the moon, he resorts to more extreme methods of getting his favourite snack

I can tell this was made by the same people who made Wallace and Gromit, And that’s what I accept. Wonderful film.

Everybody ganster till Wallace's turtle dies.

I cried even more when I saw the little picture of their mom on the sign the baby turtle is holding in the end 🐢❤😭

If it’s animated by Aardman, then you better freaking listen to what they have to say. (This is probably the saddest animation they have ever made...😭)

When the baby turtle said “Where’s Mummy?” It really hit me Edit: thanks for the like kind stranger I didn’t expect this comment to blow up! My life started growing up in a small farm in northern Kansas. My father was a farmer and my mother was a cashier in our local town down the dirt road. We didn’t have much and income was very little, my best toy I got growing up was a pig bladder blown up like a balloon that I could play around with between me and my two brothers. At the age of 11 things started getting tougher in my house life due to my fathers drinking problem as it was not a good harvest that year. Like his father before him once he was done working he would come home and drink but unlike his father he wouldn’t beat us unless we messed up, his father left him and his mother to fend for themselves after world war 2 though so he had it tougher than me growing up. One time my father did drink too much and he hit my little brother Jamey. Jamey didn’t know what to do and ran away during the night during a storm. The entire family was out looking for him but we never saw Jamey again. This made my father drink more and lead him to take his life when I was at the age of 16.*note this is all fiction and if you decided to read this then damn man, I never expected someone to actually read this, well you don’t get any prize but hey, at least you get to read an Author’s note *.My older brother and me had to completely take over the farm with the help of our mom quitting her job as a cashier, life got very hard from here on out. We got a break when I was 18 with a good harvest we were able to save up some money. I was able to move out at the age of 21 and into a larger city in Tennessee. It was hard leaving the family as my ma was getting older but my older brother completely took over the farm and even expanded it into a more profitable work. I began working in what I was good at, repairing mechanics. I was a hard worker and moved up in my chain of work easily within my town. I dated aroun’ a bit but never settled down with anyone I would write home about for my first few years. When I was 26 I got a call from my ma, my brother was working with some machinery on the farm and got his hand caught in it and heavily damaged. I had to come home and help with the farm, at the time I had attained a high position as a senior mechanic within an auto shop and sometimes worked on the side with repairing electronics. I went home and had to help with the farm for a year, ma wasn’t doing good at all. She passed the next year due to kidney disease. My brother eventually recovered and I returned to Tennessee, I attempted to return to my position but due to the time I was out I had been long replaced. I had to begin to work from the bottom again when I had a client come in, she was the most beautiful woman I ever seen in Tennessee with gorgeous brown hair. Nice to say that we hit it off pretty well, within a few weeks we were dating. I can say that she was one of the best things to have happened to me in my life. At the age of 30 I married her and my first child was on the way then. I had returned to my previous position and bought a nice house near the mountains of Tennessee. At the age of 34 my second child was born. My two kids are now both in high school, one a freshman, another a Senior. I continued my career into more electronics working on computers and fixing them. In 2013 while googling how to fix a small problem with a motherboard I found a strange site named KZfaq.com,this website had all the answers I needed and a community always ready to help. I’ve been on the site ever since. As you can see recently, I commented on this video and some kind stranger gave me an like. Thank you again kind stranger!

0:30 The whales giving smiles at the whelk answer oddly makes me feel sad after watching this entire thing

“Where’s mummy” My heart seriously just shattered

The baby turtle saying "Where's mummy?" hit so fucking hard.

“Where’s mummy....?” I.Cried

Some people say “save the turtles” just to say it. But people like the editors and cast behind this actually care and we need more pure hearted people like them in this world

Seeing this every time breaks my heart so much and gives me tears

1:13 *When aliens think that blue stuff on the earth is a landing pad*

"Wheres mommy?" I felt that and cried

Wallace’s quest for cheese has gone too far this time...

As an animal lover, I will help protect the sea turtles.

“Where's mummy?” *later* 911 what's your emergency Me: Can you surgecly fix a broken heart

If we don't do enough to save the turtles, then we truly are a horrible species.

Respect to Aardman for doing this

Watched it twice with my students in the past 2 days. On both occasions, they could point out the damage(s) - disruption to whale migratory routes, oil drilling, sonar disturbances, oil spills, plastic & micro-plastic, trawling nets - we have brought to our oceans.

This is so sad, especially when the baby said “Where’s mummy?” Hit me hard man

"Protect the pretty turtles" "But why?" *Cloverfield found footage film begins to play*

The last thing I expected was an amazingly beautiful yet sad short made by the same people who did the “haha look at funny British cheese man with his dog”

Surprised I haven’t seen this yet, wonderful advertisement. This is one of the only ads ive sat through in my life, because how impactful it is.

I gotta admit, the animation style was what pulled me in. Usually I’ve only seen this claymation style only in movies or specials with happy endings like Chicken Run or Wallace & Gromit, but here? The fact that it’s used for something so dark and sad makes for a good contrast. It’s a good way to get the message out.

Well done Aardman animation for maki g this a beautifully powerful short animation on the destruction of our seas and the life dependant on and within it.

Me:* sees the stop motion turtles* pft this is gonna be so weird Me 1:50 later: *crying, grieving for the mom, and sipping my Starbucks mouth to lid* holy crap

I feel very bad for the mother sea turtle that just got killed. So heartbreakingly depressing. As an animal lover, I will help protect the sea turtles.

Me: Ohh Boy A Wallace And Gromit Animation Me After: WTFRICK

*"Wheres mummy?"* *can I stop crying?* :(

I was not prepared for this

1. This is the saddest and most beautiful thing Aardman has made in a long time... 2....THIS NEEDS TO BE A FULL LENGTH MOVIE!

This ad makes me cry. Aardman made this for us, and I love it. It is so sweet and sad, I try to not tear but I do no matter how many times it comes up. I always watch 'til the end too, just because it really makes you feel things you never knew were in you. So please, do save the ocean, save the turtles, the fish, everyone, save everyone.

wait what actually attacked them? looked like a star destroyer... also this is not a joke im actually confused on what attacked them

It's the fact that it's an Aardman Animation that got me. It may be Plastercine but wow the characters can emote. 😢🐢

Persian Rapping Turtle needs our help more than ever before :(

I cried for a solid 30 minutes non-stop

I was going to make a "wensleydale" joke, but this was too sad... oh well, it's no use prevaricating about the bush...

GREENPEACE.... Aardman... Olivia Coleman and Helen Mirren.... this is brilliant.... although I can't watch it all as I start crying.

Aardman sure did a good job doing this animation.

When aardman makes an animation about saving the turtles you know the situation is pretty damn serious

The fact that it’s Aardman animation makes it more emotional

"And YOU got to help us." [Insert Hotel Mario joke here]

This is my first time not skipping ad

Never thought I'd cry at a "save the turtles ad" But gosh darn it you broke my heart.

Wheres mummy? That touched my heart. We need a better future for sea turtles find them a sanctuary where their species can continue to grow. Save life Mankind even Sea Life matters.

God damn. This hit my heart harder than a stroke. Aardman is such a badass studio. Man I don’t have words for this.

Am I the only one who feels memories coming back from Chicken Run? heh. I love this animation, it gets the point across really well. I'm happy they're still around, and also doing videos for a good cause like this one.

Aardman’s animations honestly make me cry...

I'm so happy to see Aardman Animations applying their distinct, gorgeously composed stop motion animation to an important message like this. This genuinely was well executed

This is such a beautiful video that enables people to empathize with the characters. I really hope this spreads the message of how dire our current environmental situation is and how we have the chance to change things for the better 💚

Ive seen this ad so many times and i get emotional when the little brother says "Wheres Mummy" ;-;

DAMN!!! Whoever is the person who came up with this idea & the person who animated this, really needs to be raised big time!

At first I thought this was going to be a new Wallace and Gromit movie trailer but this is actually a really awakening video for those polluters out there!

Im super happy that they still keep this style of clay animation 😍😍😍

It's the most beautiful story I've ever seen

the only ad i dont skip

I was gonna make on onion cutting ninja joke, but this is just to sad for that

I will do everything I can to protect talking turtles.

This had me sobbing on the floor. I mean this is so cute, and yet so sad

Nice to see Ardman giving their part to help our beautiful creatures

This reminds with Wallace and gromit sea life addition sad version.

1:25 i cried this is literally what we need to stop the turtles from dying

This actually made me cry so hard… It worked tho… petition = signed ✅

3 months later and Aardman Productions makes this into a full length film. Who wants to see that! Me.

This is so sad but needs to be shown 😥😥😥🐢🐢❤❤❤

Aardman, you've done it again. Great job.

This was actually really good and I would totally watch a turtle movie by Aardman studios.

That’s enough to make me cry save the ocean

50% of comments: Grommet comments Other 50%: OmG wE nEeD tO sAvE oUr PlAnEt

Ok chills are running everywhere on my body, can't wait to get a job and start donating

I never stop to watch an advertisement but this one really make me cry like a baby.......

Moves me to tears at the end.

1:43 let’s protect the oceans!

The poor turtles :< This has so much meaning and I’m so glad it’s spreading the word

An very impacting short film. I recognized it as Aardman work almost immediately.

I didn't find this sad, I found it scary.

My teacher:how was the weekend. Me:sad. Teacher:y Me: a video called "turtle journey:the crisis in our ocean" made me sad. Teacher:can u show us. Me:ok 1:50 later:everyonein the class:(STARTS CRYING)WE MUST SAVETHE WORLD AND OCEAN!

this would be a heart breaking movie, honestly would make an impact we need to save out planet, our home.

Wow I never thought an animated PSA with a talking turtle would make me cry

the whales smiling and chuckling at the kid's response in the I-Spy game is so good

This was so beautiful... the animation and the message. It strongly. Conveys the message that we need to protect our oceans. Good job

Turtle house and mother: *_Gets destroyed._* My brain: *G'evening Gromit!*

“Goodnight Penguin!” “Oh Gromit.... 😢”

This ad hits hard very well made

That one turtle: CHEESE GROMIT!

Thankyou so much Aardman for sharing this it's heart breaking I cried but it needs to be shown as others will listen. I'm so glad ur all on board with saving our planet xx

This video was so sad,thanks aardmen for helping the turtles

So moving. I can feel their pain.
