The Mind's Eye - 07 Love Found (Short Circutz)

[Exodia64]

When I was a kid, this was by far and away the most romantic thing I'd ever seen.

[christpunchers]

This one was probably the one that got the most airtime in the mid 90's. It's probably the least abstract and the most plot-driven one of all the shorts.

[capofgiza]

Those faces and eyes are pretty good at conveying emotion.

[TeamDanno]

What Stephenie Meyer attempted to do with four books, this vid aced it in 2 minutes and 24 seconds.

[Wrench86north]

haha who thinks they overclocked the hell outa thoes cpu's

[SanDhampir]

this is so beautiful. it's like something you would find in a dream

[blomez]

This video makes me think of a time when I thought everything would be okay~

[TonyAKA30]

I guess that everyone here saw this video in their childhood (most on YTV like myself) and for some reson we get very emotional when viewing it...I avoid watching this video because I start crying every time. I guess that because, one, this video is so beautiful and I did not understand it as a child and second, it's one of the most predominant audio/visual memories that I have of my childhood :')

[claritysabbath]

This one was always my favourite. :)

[pinksunglasses90]

I watched this when I was so small. It was a trip then, and still is now.

[Kersquawk]

I remember first seeing this many years ago on YTV.

Seeing it again now, left me kinda "teary-eyed" for some odd reason...

I feel so weird now...

[toyouiwill]

i cant believe that old school animation is making me feel so good , congratulation to the creators , simply amazing work.

[LuminescentWolf]

This is my favorite short from the compilation. I watched this long, long ago as a kid back in the 90s.

[Banged147Chicks]

i love all the mind's eye videos, but especially the music.... they are so underrated.

[vladi569]

This does not need any words. This is simply enjoyable. Close your eyes, lay yourself on a bed and turn the music on. How would you feel? Everytime I hear this song I feel so happy. And the video makes it much better. wonderfull

[vladi569]

1 dislike? :( Why? Someone did not found his love? :(

[DefLeppard771]

We probably all have a copy of this VHS stuffed away in a lost box, never to be found for another 10 years..........I miss these times in our household.......

[Acensioniscoming]

i remember watching this when i was like 13 years old...oh my god tv sucks so much ass now...bring back Beast wars, Reboot and dragon ball z!!!!

[LAMCL23]

A bird may love a fish, but where would they live? <3 <3

[birdieberry]

Why am I crying?...I just had a shot of nostalgia.

[Aviarmew]

Guess what?

This was the last short in the VHS video Elroy's Toy.

[releitse88]

This was my favourite one!

[miketheman321]

I remember this!

[ADistantDreamMusic]

And I love the music ;-)

[ADistantDreamMusic]

I remember this one!! My favourite YTV short circutz!

[valentino09]

this bring back some memories, sitting on the couch watching YTV.

[coozman64]

i loves this one the most out of all the other shorts

[priscillanobre74]

Oh my goodness!! :-D the songs makes me that I wanna be with someone while listing to this cute/romantic song ever!! As you notice the bird & the fish or in my case Stanley & Stella saw each other then when she kissed him, my heart totally melted for love!! Oh my gosh it's like falling in love all over again ...no wonder I'm such a romantic girl hehehe

[emigore123]

This part was my favorite when I was a kid! :)

[happytappyslappy]

Computer animation has come quite awhile before it took a major roll in today's cg movies. Thank you, Jax184. I'm not gonna even ask where or how you brought this on YouTube.

[PetrKL21]

are there two versions? is Beyond the Mind's Eye something else from The mind's Eye?

[AmbassadorJediSpock]

Awwww... such a sweet little story of love and wanting to be with someone. The music reminds me something that Kenny G would do

[gregliam]

you should put these on megaupload! the youtube video compression is crap.

[tiberiosity]

D: OH. MY. GOD. this brings me WAAAY back



[Costro5567]

This is one of my most favourite mind's eye video ever!!!! It brings back so many memories when I watched this on Short Circuitz ever since I was a kid. Thanks for uploading this.

[monsoonu]

The short circutz segment was often better than the TV programs between which they were often interspersed. The "Love Found" was one of my personal favourites. I think I watched most of the YTV programming just for the shortz in between. (Except for Reboot, of course, that was good too.) Thank you for putting these all up here.

[Lestat57]

WOW, haven't seen this in YEARS! Thx for the memories!

[357Magnovox]

You've made so many people happy! Great uploads! Good work!!!

[ArchangelGMichel]

Can somone tell the title of this music? I love it so much!

[Jax184]

@ArchangelGMichel It's by James Reynolds and it's called Love Found. If you look around you might be able to find the soundtrack to The Mind's Eye for sale on CD. I bought a copy on ebay awhile back.

[ArchangelGMichel]

@Jax184 Thanks a lot! I appreciate it :D

[TheJohncarmona]

@ArchangelGMichel One Word "Beautiful"

[secondghost]

Nostalgia storm incoming!

[agitanna]

This one was my favorite Mind's eye ! I remember it from YTV !!! so cute ! great memories ! thank you so much for posting this !!!

[dansantan278]

i remember these from ytv!

[satellite98]

these vids were a trip even as a kid

[BatKnowItAll]

Of 79 people, and nobody dislikes it. :)

[Grahamx227]

Remember when Canadian content was good?

I do when watching this.

[Jax184]

@Grahamx227 These were made in the US.

[Grahamx227]

@Jax184

lol, I should have read the description! I always thought these videos were made by Mainframe Entertainment.

[Leviathan024]

@Jax184

these were aired very often on Canadian channel YTV many years ago

[Jax184]

@Leviathan024 I kinda noted that in the description. That's the whole reason I went to the effort of tracking down these laserdiscs and digitizing them.

[rcharding]

@Grahamx227 With all due respect to fine Canadian entertainment (I loved "Due South"), this was produced in California. Sorry!

[keallenart]

This is absolutely beautiful.

[TonyAKA30]

I remember this from YTV :)

[stfuBUDDY]

why, am , i , CRYING

[F4rmGirl4Life]

@stfuBUDDY

Because this has amazing symbolism. Not only can love break down barriers.. it can create a new world. I love it. Makes me all teary eyed too.. The first time I saw this I was about 7 I remembered the visuals totally different than I experience them now, but the feeling is the same.

[Anaksunamen999]

yaaaay simply stunning!

[Humbertusmarius]

This is the video that got me all excited about 3d graphics and animation. 

[Chris385261]

Beautiful...brings back so many memories

[fialkogabriel]

,muy lindo trabajo,me gusto mucho cuando lo vi de joven

[roboguy75]

this isn't the right music from the original, and yet it fits so well

[tyniehawk]

i hated this one lol. The fish was too sexy for me.

[BetaB0ss]

@tyniehawk lmaoooooooooooo As hilarious as this comment is (and slightly creepy), I totally understand what you mean.

[fialkogabriel]

@BetaB0ss

"very nice work, I loved it when I saw it when I was young".I wrote in Spanish because I assumed that among those who saw this animation there are also people who speak another language (like Spanish) that is not only English .. . I hope now you understood ...

[w3roloco]

nice job man brinsg back good memories growing up as a kid

[love801yaoi]

cute it makes u smile

[Fractalor]

WOW! This is the one! I've been looking for " Love Found"... I love all the Minds Eye stuff, but this one is my fav.- Just didn't know the name. TY Jax184!- oh wait... I also see that it's called "Breaking the Ice", too... cool

[Fractalor]

WOW! This is the one! I've been looking for " Love Found"... I love all the Minds Eye stuff, but this one is my fav.- Just didn't know the name. TY Jax184!

[mastae]

It'a weird. I saw this all the time as a kid, and this was one of the few that I remember very vividly and clearly. Hmmmm

[ihearthilary]

2:06 - The ravenous bird swarm swoop in and devour the helpless fish. All you can hear in the background are the terrified screams as the fish are slaughtered and consumed one by one.

[Fractalor]

@ihearthilary you're a dick.

[ihearthilary]

@Fractalor ?

[NusquamNihil]

They used to play Short Circuits on YTV between the tv shows, but sometimes they were cut off before finishing. I was only ever able to see this one to the part where the bird is still dazed a little and sinking in the water. As a little kid, I always thought that he died to be with his love. It makes me irrationally happy to be able to see the ending and know not only do they both live, but both species can now share the same world. :)

[Fractalor]

@NusquamNihil I know, right... I'm glad you now saw the whole thing.

[CleansWithRag]

I feel sorry for the kids of today.

*They* don't have ANYTHING like this. And that is just sad.

[kirk1968]

@CleansWithRag Agreed! There is a personal touch to this piece that makes it special. Today everything is mass-produced for monetary reasons it seems. Little or no passion, except for Pixar.

[CleansWithRag]

@kirk1968

I'm glad you feel the same way.

[BatKnowItAll]

Does anyone else other than me think of "The Book in the Bottle" stuff from Super Mario Sunshine whenever they see this? Or am I just going crazy?

[kirk1968]

My favorite segment out of all of the Mind's Eye clips. Very moving, despite the limitations of the day. A testament to the animators' skills.

[Fractalor]

@kirk1968 straight up & down, man...I just love it.

[teknotoast]

I remember watching this on repeat on my grandfather's Laserdisc Demonstration CD.... sadly, with a better soundtrack. I can't believe this is on youtube. Thank you x 100000000 for this upload.

[DakariKingMykan]

I wanna know something... Who originally made these... GENIUS I say

[misanthrope013]

ive been able to find most of the short circuit clips here for a while now, but i havent seen this clip in 17 years! love the emotion and facial expressions on the fish and bird.

[BlueSilverStars]

I used to fast forward through the VHS tape just so I could watch this section before school in the morning. Like, all the time. xD

[TalkinXbox]

Best part of the video - and the most memorable music, too.

[JesseIrelandTV]

Absolutely LOVE this video. So beautiful. Always makes me smile.

[LadyofDenver]

I have been searching for this part of the Mind's Eye for a very long time. I still have the other video Beyond the Minds Eye. People think that I am weird because I don't watch what the general population watches another words- what they watch seems to be the norm. I like to watch significant movies or shows that captures my interest. My elementary teacher, introduced this video to us to show how creative we can be.

[BrendanKAC]

Probably the most romantic thing I saw as a kid.

[jesusranch34]

Access to videos like this one is why the internet is so amazing, thanks for posting!

[8x13Wolf]

I saw this back in my elementary school and have been searching for it for YEARS and only just discovered it, thank you TvTropes. For some reason, I thought it ended with the bird dying...glad it had a much happier ending in reality.

[SilverGummiShark]

I remember this the most clearly of the whole video. I loved the idea behind it, I think. So cute. And the music...so pretty.

[petralpa]

Just for reference : youtube v=3bTqWsVqyzE

and : wikipedia: Stanley_and_Stella_in:_Breakin­g_the_Ice

[somethingelse8999]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UPLOADING THIS :')

[MisterBIGM0UTH]

I brought this for kids to watch at a daycare I worked in. I wound up dating one of the assitants, and the kids always said we were just like the fish and the bird who fell in love in this part of The Mind's Eye :)

[BRENDAESQUIVELF]

@MisterBIGM0UTH That's so freakin' cute!!!! Cheers for all those kind of stories

[Badakhshi1]

the music alone is just beautiful

[kliksf]

@Badakhshi1 Sadly it's not the original music from this animation it was added by the people who compiled the "The Mind's Eye" The original is much more beautiful.

[Badakhshi1]

man this one was my favorite songs when i was a kid. i use 2 watch it all the time

[GiroroG66]

I remember this....but for some reason...I don't recall this song ^^;

[SuperDuckyWho]

My Uncle gave me his copy of this tape when I was a little girl and I'd watch it all the time. Haven't seen these in a loooong time.

[fattyfattyfishy]

oh the memories... i wish i had this on dvd or something... how i love all of the segments of this movie

[BBAntichrist]

@fattyfattyfishy

I don't think this was ever released on DVD but I got this on VHS from amazon.com for less than a dollar. I bought the whole series for under 25 including shipping and handling.

[SweetPawsMcGenty]

I watched this as a child on VHS. We'd rent it every weekend from the local video store and watch this entire movie. I loved it. Thanks for briging back memories for me. Is there ahy way to order these on DVD? THanks for your time!

[softy8088]

Guys, there is Hong Kong version (Region 3) DVD of the Mind's Eye. (But since there are no words in these videos the language really doesn't matter) I picked it up on ebay but it's also available from online stores. Google for "The Mind's Eye Collection" (include the quotes).

[Disinfotainment]

Great and completely timeless. The primitive animation makes it all the more amazing how expressive the characters are. It's a beautiful piece of storytelling, worthy of Aesop or the Brothers Grimm, once there was a universe populated by two creatures separated by a barrier, and all it takes is one heartfelt revolutionary act for the universe to change forever. I watched this over and over when it first came out and I'm glad to see it totally holds up. Congratulations to everyone involved.

[foxacoustics]

I had this on Laserdisc. Back in the day this looked so advanced and futuristic. It probably took a team of several people, hundreds of hours to make. Now it could probably be done by a 6 yo on a I phone in a few days.

[BBAntichrist]

@foxacoustics

Really? If there is a program that can allow you to make original animations that look like this I would love to know.

[LunatikTokyo]

@BBAntichrist Not for the phone though. But there are awesome ones on the computer though! Several are even free to use as well! Some examples are Blender and Daz 3D :) Then if you google Autodesk Student you will find more free programs that students can obtain by submitting their email :) ! So you can make this film using any of those mentioned programs.

[LunatikTokyo]

@foxacoustics Really dude??? Um if you havent already noticed computer animated films are STILL made by teams of hundreds(but it really varies depending on the project)and take hours to do! Please do not insuate how easy computer animation can be done today because it STILL takes time AAAAAND effort with great skill and knowledge of the concepts of animation! Trust me I know! I went to school for this and you can watch the extras on CG movies today and see the evidence for yourself!

[LunatikTokyo]

@foxacoustics It's IMPOSSIBLE to make an entire computer animated film on a phone! It takes a good&powerful computer to animate&compile those frames of animation to make this!That would have to be one super super strong phone if it had hat capability,but sadly doesn't exist.There are some kind of animation programs for the iPhone&maybe on other smart phones,but come no where near as close as good as the CG ones for the computer.CG computer ones would be too advanced for a 6yr old I'm afraid.

[KinseyAlfred]

I love the music of this animation... The keyboard and the bass is so well accompany!Great job of James Reynolds!

[Salanth]

I've been looking for this for years! This was my favourite as well!

[elcarrigano]

out of all the short circuts that aired on YTV i remembered this one the most, i havent felt nostalgia like that in awhile

[kirk1968]

I still have this VHS, and this was my favorite segment! Thanks for posting it, haven't seen it in awhile.

[rightbraintrain]

This is the most cheeseball thing ever...but I still like it, damn it.
