Very sad.

Cheers from Brazil.

I think Life is like this animation... pointless yet amazing.

[CottoFan1]

@omh1027 very good point

[sermann123]

Эти бегающие жучки напоминают бибов из игры Вангеры. Атмосфера в игре как раз похожа на это психо, за что я её особо обожаю - ничего знакомого, звуки, предметы и миры, всё какое то странное и не на что не похожее, ну а тексты там (а их как раз много) вообще мега сумасшедшие!

[wickedfeylady]

This is absurd genius. It's a kind of gleeful futility.

Jesus, this must have been a pain to animate...you think they looped some footage?

[dearmalika]

I love Ravels music and this cartoon!

[veryfirstBiz]

видел мульты максимова ещё малышём, это меня тогда уже поразило!

гений русского искуства! спасибо за аплоуд.

THX for upload!

Sucsessful idiotism.... is art!

[Pseudologic]

@oncelostmain Unsuccessful spelling is idiotism. Go back to school, you fucking art critic.

[oncelostmain]

@Pseudologic I just came from school, please check the spelling of "kiss my ass." Do you have a phone? I would like you'll estimate also my pronunciation, I still worry a little bit ...

[Pseudologic]

@oncelostmain Keep learning English.

[RainbowRatatouille]

Ha, god this is hilarious makes me laugh so much. So pointless yet amazing!

[meadmaker93]

If you are going to ask me to analyze the meaning behind an example of monotony or boredom, I've got more enjoyable things to do with my time. This lacked imagination.. pun intended.

[optimistik86]

la vida misma..

[kikalcala]

It's curious how at a moment it looks at the "camera" and continue walking... At the begining I thought this was one of that videos that gives you an horrible fright, but it's quite good!

[woodcutterty]

It's sort of scary at the same time though, this feeling of eternity

[woodcutterty]

I would like to know the meaning behind this, if there is any, but it just calms me down =) I find it absolutely fascinating.

[chalomirof63]

I love how "he" stops his endless trek to have his lunch, (brown-bagging it apparently).  Sometimes we should just enjoy the sheer surreal absurdity without trying to analyze it. The true answer to the meaning would come from Maximov himself . Who cares: it's funny, clever, and strange in its own unique way. BTW, Ravel is my favorite composer.

[rupertshean]

i have nightmares like this. for me this is my nightmare

tonight or sometime this month i swear i will have a similar dream probably triggered off this idea of eternity. its hell!!!

[AIMFreeman]

thats why some people look for enligtenment and then nibbana

[Siksnosparne]

@rupertshean

I also have nightmares, something like this..

I think many people have kind of that, it's this similarity.. and probably Maximov got this idea from his nightmares

ye. a bit afraid to get asleep now

goodnight and good luck

[amberberglund]

It doesn't know any better but to follow its own tail. I'm not even entirely sure it knows it is following its own tail. Yeah, I think there is a deeper meaning. It poses a question to humanity.

[kasetini]

Что я могу сказать, я люблю анимацию в России, заставляет меня с ума от радости, вы не знаете, насколько я ценю это красивый кусок, у вас есть хороший день

[subm12345]

Этот мультфильм заставляет задуматься о смысле бытия :)

[AlanSturgess]

There are a lot of quasi-philosophical ramblings amongst these comments. They seem to make even less sense than the video. But then, as the gamekeeper said to the rabbit, 'Sometimes I shoot at clouds'.

[6Bravo6]

how fuckin mind-numbing

[Alicia7777777]

This video is awesome.

Many many thanks.

[Sy4ka]

ох вспоминаю старое хорошее МТВ в России

и целая серия мультиков от Ивана Максимова там

[babananaman]

wow.. freaky.

these damn russians 8P

[ololique7]

Hypnotic

[gpelaez]

great video jajaja. Notice that the cookie, guess that's what he ate, had a peculiar flavor cuz of the expression in his/her face.

[Mcro273]

Fantastic.

[Molislily]

very funny! a dragon's long and non-stop journey.. hehehe...

[YellowYackets]

RAMDOM like always..

[MOCKBA73]

incredibly mysterious and charming cartoon...Like a good artist you present the absolute minimum and let your viewers interpret it their way. Marvelous

[karpuzamca]

dude! my friend just saw a imaginary cow on the screen. FANTASTIC. Innit?

[flashtoons]

I liked it too...nice funny moments in it too :)

[HolliSurfer19]

wtf, is this some kind of a joke...sorry but im trying to look for the fascination in this film. im really not trying to be rude

[Avarakedavra]

Russian cinamation has been acclaimed throughout the years. Just see what you see.

[pester1]

Yeah! It's kinda sarcastic and even stupid. Without the music you'll fall asleep after two rounds. The colours are sad and the quality of the motion graphics are poor.

Music is great though, but it's French not Russian...

The film is a pretentious noncense, the author is trying to squeeze some intellectuality out of his uncreative unimaginative mind.

[lunaticreanimator]

lol is that all you care about ? watch pixar or something :P

[OriMedian]

Categorizing or patronizing is wrong and signifies shortage of any vision...

[Misteria23]

Don't comment what you don't understand.

Genious people are never understood by majority, by "grey mass"...

[Misteria23]

Don't comment what you don't understand.

Genious people are never understood by majority, by "grey mass"...

[pester1]

If an individual may represent the vision of a whole "grey mass". I believe then that the author of this cartoon did it geniously...

[Floweryapron]

I don`t mind being part of a grey mass if it stops me liking Disney.

[OriMedian]

If people are robed of the freedom to witness trully talented artworks by for example Disney it is definately not my fault. The problem I'm facing is that I'v been a witness to many great animations.

Please do visit filmfestivals especially those of the animation and fantasy once in a liftime at least. It will broaden your horizon I can surely promise you that!

[Floweryapron]

Yes Ori I will try and visit a film festival just as soon as I can find a babysitter for my 2 kids- they really love to watch Disney films over and over again, if you are offering.

[trooper2214]

fascinating ! ! I can't stop watching it

[Lynchfan777]

Bruno Bozzetto's "ALLEGRO NON TROPPO" also featured dinosaurs marching to Bolero, just to let you know.

[cagdix]

Good cartoon.. Thx.

[nenazoalhaurino]

dios mio q paranoya

[Niffiwan]

To quote from Maximov's website, "he who is his own lodestar only turns in circles".

[havitapota]

i love it, thanks
