Ok... Whoever you are, MAKE MORE MOVIES!!!!

As a matter of fact, create your own Studio and make good movies and show Hollywood how it is done.

You made a silly movie about a person that makes people smile. And you actually made it interesting and entertaining.

Thank you for the enjoyment...

[Shikamaru1212]

WOW! What a beautiful film! I thought the acting was absolutely SUPERB

[Fisarro]

You are great. And this is incredible, because when i was thinking "you are great" i realized that it was connected to te movie only in a second time!. So, because of this, you are amazing.!

Sorry for my english. This is wonderful. Greetings from Italy. You are ispiration!

[Alex2Times]

Everyone!! I met TJ Thyne at Disneyland, I am a professional photographer for the Disney company. I did not know him til i asked him "You look very familiar, theres this guy on youtube." Immediately he responded "Oh validation." My eyes got huge an i shouted "YES!" he then told me that, that was him in the short film. He really appreciated me knowing about it. TJ Thyne is the nicest guy ive ever met.

[merhababenaras]

[brycebyerley]

Wow...This video froze on me at 7:36 and would not go forward. The Notice of Termination. That tells an even more compelling story about life in the 21st century.

[tannutrehan1]

I find this video very encouraging. The best part of the video "don't give up" keep on trying your best people will find best in you.

Smile. Smile. Smile. God does not make junk. He is in control. "In ALL things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28

[UniversalAngel13]

"...If there is anything virtuous, lovely, of good report or PRAISEWORTHY...Seek after THESE things" -(LDS)13th article of faith

This is definitely one of THESE things.

[Spexxx100]

Not bad....not bad at all. I actually did smile.

[Dracobolt]

A friend showed me this when I was feeling down. It cheered me up and I couldn't stop smiling. Now whenever someone I know is really sad, I send them this link in hopes of passing on the happy feelings.

[916tubreglazer]

Thanks to the makers of this movie. I LOVE THIS MOVIE Your amazing!!!

[JohnLoty]

There are lots of people that have never felt the experience of being validated. This illustrates the magnificent power of expressing what you appreciate. I enjoyed it immensely.

[darthvaser]

very touching. This is one of the best short films I've ever seen. I loved the story and they way you all executed it. Thank you for sharing with us your talents and reminding us of the power of kindness!

[Selimanth]

My new favourite video on youtube! And that's beating gems such as Polite Bear, Can't Hug Every Cat and Misheard lyrics. Can't help grinning like an idiot now :D

[devoutman]

This video exposes to us this fact: Authentically, people were created to be positive. From that positivity, we get smiles. The opposite is true about negativity & not smiling or even frowning.

In this video, many people loved the positivity & smiles but there were many who were against them. Many times we habitually come in contact with these people in our family, work place or love life. 1 Cor 15:33 says: Bad company corrupts good manners.

Tip: Protect your smile & JOY. It's strengthening!

[PapercutShawol96]

Just hearing his voice makes me happy:)), he has such a beautiful and sweet voice. Love it!

[Mrlild2341]

I've been looking all over for this video since i saw it in my 9th grade english class. Our teacher challenged us to validate two people a day. :P I love this video so much.

[russ1311]

amazing short .... love it

[MrAgentCooki]

Infinite giving until you receive.

sadly, many of the people that was given love didn't try to help Hugh in his time of need.

In the end, it was all good but only because of his own perception.

*sigh* such a hard road...

[ReduxRagabash]

a magical tale.

[ItsDianasAccount]

[tavutube]

Beautiful Video & More Beautiful Message.

I Cried

[lydocia]

I almost got through it with dry eyes. Almost.

[fkeshan]

wow

[judymartinspeaks]

Who could get through this with dry eyes. This should be mandatory viewing for all who sit in the C-Suite. Crucial to the success of the new economy. Someone wake up and smell the coffee.

[FeliixMoon]

This video is simply beautiful. Hugh defiantly made me smile..

[123JoeDeee]

brings tears in my eyes...

[spiritreneuringrid]

I cried too. Wish you all a year of smiles and happiness, God bless!

[MrEriccosta]

[TheRecon4]

Isnt hugh in bones

[ebag111s]

merry christmas guys~!

[watsonandlights]

Does anyone know where I could get the sheet music for the credits song?

[Mariquo90]

Really really nice :D

[terrierislander1]

It also shows good things come to those who wait.



[interrelativity]

I'm reminded of an inspiring prose poem, Prelude, from a book by Oriah Mountain Dreamer, The Dance:

What if it truly doesn't matter what you do but how you do whatever you do?

How would this change what you choose to do with your life?

What if you could be more present and open-hearted with each person you encounter working as a cashier in the corner store, a parking lot attendant or filing clerk than you could if you were striving to do something you think is more important?

[adamotero0]

This made me Cry. Legit. i'm not trying to get top comment or anything like that. This Video, is beautiful, and i feel like it changed my life, or atleast the way i see life.

[raga0melek]

@adamotero0 : i cried too, thought i was getting overtly sentimental watching it, but then i read your comment, and i am happy that i'm not the only one who cried!! x-)

[blakesimpson96]

@adamotero0 the power of video..WOW :)

[daniel69688]

This was so good.

[ooglblatee]

Why can't I hit the like button more than once?!?

[CAPGOD1]

[warofkingdoms]

SMILE

[ajkoz9393]

This video just goes to show that no matter what, when you validate someone you should never expect validation in return. Hugh would validate everyone, and in return he got a smile. That's all he wanted. But when Victoria didn't smile, he couldn't take it. He HAD to have the validation of seeing her smile. He let this get him down, but eventually when he realized all the wonderful things other people had to be happy about, he found all the things in himself that made him happy.

[artistknownas]

One of THE best short films ever.

[KristyMosch]

Can somebody PLEASE tell me what's the name of the song?

[andrewglover6]

Just came across this on a Facebook Friend's Page! Great Short Film! I wish you were still allowed to Smile for Passport Photos too! Hope this Short Film won wards, so deserving :-)

[DumbBlondieChick]

The first time I watched it, I wasn't paying close attention, so I didn't get it... but the second time... oh my gosh :)

[Jowisz568]

thumbs up if this video change your life

[berneyz1]

TJ THYNE !!

[justcogitating]

I like the woman with her arms crossed at 13:48 who's totally thinking, "Can you just take my passport picture already?"

But it's a really cute film- I liked it a lot.

[RJWasEre]

I have watched this every month since I first saw it 3years ago. I absolutely love this. It makes me feel amazing, it makes me want to go and do this amazing of kindness to everyone. Thanks :) Lots of love-3

[Philippine204]

This made me cry... for joy and with hope that simple things are the remedy to many big problems :)

[GinoftheWind]

That sad thing is, when he was down in the dumps no one tried to make Hugh smile. All those people he helped just turned and left him...

[gavip045]

@GinoftheWind Exactly what I was thinking...

[applerct3knex]

we watched this in health and we were all smiling after

[MorganRox5441]

What is the song called and where can I get it?

[lightgrid1]

this is the best i've ever seen on youtube

[KristyMosch]

Could someone tell me the name of the song that plays during the film? :D

[capitalisttrotsky]

SMILE:)



[ShantiMayaOm]

[cureloms]
