@FJvoodoo I do believe one of the big reasons for coming to America was the freedom of religion. So, regarding all the people who practiced whatever religion they wanted without fear of persecution; We DID want them and ALWAYS have.
@masterb8r All religions except one, the ones who threaten us. Oh you might open your eyes to see who took over Ann Arbor,what there were in the news about. We native Americans are getting tired of all the illegals coming into our country, wonder when it's time to send all the people not born in the US back.

@FJvoodoo Despite the fact that that had almost no bearing towards religion towards the end, it's not separate religions that are the threat, it's the people. Every religion can be interpreted in a hostile way (Including Christianity), but that doesn't make the religion bad. Also, with our flawed Representative Democracy, many problems stemming from the economy can be attributed to the people as well. Need someone to blame? Blame everyone, ourselves included.
@masterb8r Naw, just wanted to throw some crap out becasue i thought it would piss you off and reply again, you need something to divert your activities away from masterbation. They say you go blind doing that and as it looks you went to a school for deaf people, and it is also a known fact that you don't read. So put your rod down and pick up someting worth reading becasue the United States is going to shit becasue of people like you. See another challenge for a reply from you.
@FJvoodoo I thought this was a serious (Well, As serious as youtube comment wars can be) discussion, but no, just another typical internet response. I don't see why it always has to go to some vituperation towards me as if this were a personal thing. I must admit though, That second sentence is pretty funny when you think about it, so alright. Can't turn down a challenge.
I really liked it and I understand what they're trying to accomplish, but...Oscar nominated? It's a simple enough idea and with a fairly simple execution. I think a film should have more than a great idea to be nominated. Animation and writing need to be considered, too, and this film, by nature of its concept, has to have simple animation. Actually, I think it would've been more successful if the animation was even simpler.
you obviously have no comprehension of what can actually qualify as art. you haven't considered the simplistic beauty of the film, the era and culture which it satires, and the quirky, childlike animation which sets the entire tone of the plot. i pity your narrow view of the world, i really do.
@SChique00 i musn't have any comprehension of art if art qualifies for works that did not require any professionalism or competitive skill. I musn't know art if i believe it should impress generations like the statue of David, like Sixteenth Chapel, like Davinci's Last Supper, Like the Mona Lisa, like Hayao Miyazaki's Spirited away. No, just as long you make something weird and meaningless perhaps the drawings of a six year old and make it seem intelgient it counts as an award winning films,
those are all wonderful examples of what constitutes art, but by mentioning statues, architecture, paintings and animation you have contradicted your point; francis ford coppolla once said that the aim of art is to find life, and does this short not demonstrate this point perfectly, through innocence, reminiscent tones and narratives? art is more than the sum of its parts, and by singling out the skill of the drawings you are not viewing the piece as a whole.
I love the sync of the girl's story-telling voice over the characters in the story. Even the opening has sound from another space in the outdoor scene. Great sense of time and space. Wonderful work!
michael carey sits on the judge panel on this show ernst and young, he closed all his factories down in ireland putting hundreds on the dole , what a joke , all his stuff is made in england now jacobs biscuits 150+yrs in ireland and he gave it to the english.
@JaaniAM It's not even worth fighting anymore as the war is won and the damage has been done. Without the christian church we could would probably have a cure for most current incurable diseases, we would live fifty years longer and would colonize planets.
I have nothing against spirituality but I do have everything against religion and the church.
@NZdodobird What the hell are you talking about? The church has no power now and there is no entity (though I'm not even sure what this word has to do with any of this) to prevent progress now, albeit it comes with a price.
The power it holds is so minor compared to the corporate hordes it can be considered non-existent. Skinheads have a higher influence in today's society than the church.
Lets disregard all the bigs of the corporate field such as pharmacy and oil and take a look at the rest. Governments come in second, then the underground criminal rings. After that you have the various groups and subgroups, be it white supremacists, socialists or liberals and then finally you have the church.
@Kafana91 Ok,ok.I respect your opinion,but I disagree 100%...If the Church didn't have power then it wouldn't be the richest "company" in the whole world!And priests who commit crimes such as rapes against children,would be in jail....Did you know that the Orthodox Church in the USA spent 11 million dollars 4 years ago,to conceal raping charges against it........?
Ok, maybe I was a bit out of line. You hear all these pedophilia accusations against priests and you never really hear anybody getting punished for those crimes, I do agree. I guess I agree with you in part, but I don't believe it holds the most power.
everything is computer animated today, please could someone do some old fashion cel, stop motion, or cut out animation w/out computer enhancement but just w/ film?
Yes, it sounded very cute and the animation was cute old style, but the message was not accurate in any way. I'm talking about the specifics of course. Hell fire - not biblical, Jesus not God, but Gods Son. But cute, Yes, very cute indeed
I posted this on my Facebook page a few months ago, but unfortunately a lot of them never understood nor got the meaning. I suppose its like a lot of other things in life...like being in love. Only understood by those who have truly experienced it in their own hearts. Not so hard to see it with the correct lenses. I adore this film!!
This series is so fun! It helps if you already know the stories of the saints, though. The accent is pretty thick and they're little kids, so they say funny things. That's why it's so cute. I love this!

So its someone pretending to be a kid trying to tell a bible story? OK, if I wanted that I'd just go ask some kid to tell a bible story, and if they spoke like that girl I would tell them to stop very quickly, my god she sounds retarded. Gave up after about 2 mins, have 2* cause the art is quite nice.
Agreed it was tough to understand. Initially thought it was a Scottish accent before reading it was recorded in Dublin. Guess I wouldn't make it past the first question on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire! All in all, wonderful, innocent, funny, and sweet! Very enjoyable.
i remember hearing this and a medley of other stories on an irish radio station whilst visiting there, it was like a daily feature on some presenters programmer possibly RTE. These were statements from children from inner city dublin schools, probably all these 'yung ones' are grown up by now.
I just love this story! It's so cute the way the little girl starts getting carried away describing all the possible rewards that Salome could have asked for - earrings, or a necklace, or a watch, or a bracelet, or a ring, or a gold brooch (because, you know, kings are really rich, and they have loads of gold)! It's obvious that she's really thought about this story.
produced by Darragh O connell!! Darragh is my name! Ive only ever lived in england and australia so ive never even heard of another person called Darragh!!

in 45th second the guy loads the reel... but surprisingly it is missing in the 49th second when he records....it magically appears at 3.54... couldn't understand how it got nominated to Oscar... such a worst checked animation.....without reel how he recorded and how it appeared finally??? do u think the viewers are mad....
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Honestly, there's nothing special about this. Animation was unremarkable, the humor was cliche' and the story was just ripped out of The Bible. It didn't even have a unique message to portray. So a British kid narrated it; that does not make this Oscar worthy. This video has nothing on Kiwi!
Animation isn't always telling the artist's or animators story, it's a chance to do many different things, in this case, telling us a piece from bible through animation. It isn't ripping off.
And this telling was completely and utterly unremarkable. There was not a speck of originality or creativity in it. That this video was nominated for an Oscar is a demerit to the very award.
Yes, I get that, and it isn't a very remarkable point. This idea of a child telling a story isn't even original. I didn't criticize the walkig in the video; I criticized the fact that this video was nominated for an oscar when there is absolutely nothing special about it. It isn't moving, funny, exciting, sad, educational, or entertaining in any way, contains no strong messages, and does not exhibit any unique art styles. This series contributes nothing to animation.
It may not be the most original idea ever, but it's not the most common. Going back in time or inside the human body, the're common enough. It's just meant to be a nice little cartoon that's heartwarming.
I think that's why it was nominated, it's made with heart and the makers didn't push it to the limit. They just wanted to make the film.
"Christianity started out in Palestine as a fellowship; it moved to Greece and became a philosophy; it moved to Italy and became an institution; it moved to Europe and became a culture; it came to America and became an enterprise." Sam Pascoe
Its not a british kid mate its a Irish kid,Whats so special about this is the fact that the sound for this was taken from tapes a teacher recorded in class during the 1960's of kids from a very working class part of dublin telling tales from the bible,i like it mate probably because im from dublin and that i can relate to it in some way,but its just the way she managed to capture religion through the eyes of a child the way they saw it.I think it has a type of rustic charm
I think what's special about this specific story in the bible is that god helped everyone besides the saint that was in jail. Also that we teach children these stories and to follow things blindly w/o really questioning the reality of the situation. Its mocking Christianity in a sense by re-citing their very own words from the holy bible. It's not just a kid telling a story she's read in a book.
This film surely has to be listened to for the times that were in it. The most engaging thing is the innocence of the kids.Their interpretation of the stories in terms that they understand is delightful.This film I feel sure was not made to promote religion but just to show how kids can tell a story.Lighten up folks

i remember hearing this and a medley of other stories on an irish radio station whilst visiting there, it was like a daily feature on some presenters programmer possibly RTE. These were statements from children from inner city dublin schools, probably all these 'yung ones' are grown up by now.

I just love this story! It's so cute the way the little girl starts getting carried away describing all the possible rewards that Salome could have asked for - earrings, or a necklace, or a watch, or a bracelet, or a ring, or a gold brooch (because, you know, kings are really rich, and they have loads of gold)! It's obvious that she's really thought about this story.

Honestly, there's nothing special about this. Animation was unremarkable, the humor was cliche' and the story was just ripped out of The Bible. It didn't even have a unique message to portray. So a British kid narrated it; that does not make this Oscar worthy. This video has nothing on Kiwi!
Toyomo16 2 years ago
Animation isn't always telling the artist's or animators story, it's a chance to do many different things, in this case, telling us a piece from bible through animation. It isn't ripping off.
cartoonlover2326 2 years ago
And this telling was completely and utterly unremarkable. There was not a speck of originality or creativity in it. That this video was nominated for an Oscar is a demerit to the very award.
Toyomo16 2 years ago
The point of the film was: the girl was telling the bible story and the story went exactly as she said, including the dialogue.
The walking isn't perfect, I admit that, but the walking wasn't the point.
cartoonlover2326 2 years ago
Yes, I get that, and it isn't a very remarkable point. This idea of a child telling a story isn't even original. I didn't criticize the walkig in the video; I criticized the fact that this video was nominated for an oscar when there is absolutely nothing special about it. It isn't moving, funny, exciting, sad, educational, or entertaining in any way, contains no strong messages, and does not exhibit any unique art styles. This series contributes nothing to animation.
Toyomo16 2 years ago
It may not be the most original idea ever, but it's not the most common. Going back in time or inside the human body, the're common enough. It's just meant to be a nice little cartoon that's heartwarming.
I think that's why it was nominated, it's made with heart and the makers didn't push it to the limit. They just wanted to make the film.

Its not a british kid mate its a Irish kid,Whats so special about this is the fact that the sound for this was taken from tapes a teacher recorded in class during the 1960's of kids from a very working class part of dublin telling tales from the bible,i like it mate probably because im from dublin and that i can relate to it in some way,but its just the way she managed to capture religion through the eyes of a child the way they saw it.I think it has a type of rustic charm

I think what's special about this specific story in the bible is that god helped everyone besides the saint that was in jail. Also that we teach children these stories and to follow things blindly w/o really questioning the reality of the situation. Its mocking Christianity in a sense by re-citing their very own words from the holy bible. It's not just a kid telling a story she's read in a book.
