This was very touching. Thank you for sharing you talents and strong message with the rest of us. Good luck in all you do in the pursuit of all that is good.
Why this isnt on tv by now ill never know .... this is a beautiful video. You've made some peoples biggest problems realised. Well done on the video :D
i know this isnt my place to have a sob fest but i just wanted to say that this brought up memories of my family troubles. after my brother got cancer my mom lost her patience with me. i remember that when i was in kindergarten i would walk about 4 blocks to school everyday. i would make my own breakfast and there was no one there to wish me a good day at school. i had problems in school and even to this day i still do. i was so neglected that at 7 years old i was only 37 lbs... sorry
@JessicaHeartsCain Don't apologize :) In some way I feel like I should be the one apologizing for unintentionally making those memories resurface. This video's about hope, so I do hope that it brought you that as well. I'm sorry for what's happened and what is still happening to you and your family, but I want you to remember that the sadness and struggle will pass. God's looking out for you, whether you feel Him there or not. Keep fighting, praying and hoping. Your pain will end, I promise :)
@xNightshadex thanks Shade you always give the sweetest replies.
i havent lived with my mom for quite a while. well at least since my brother died anyway. i dont feel the pain anymore. i like to let people know that its all around them and if i have to bring up the sad reality that it could happen to ANYONE well then maybe my job was done. i talk about it with my friends lots and i sometimes like to joke about it even if its a very serious situation. i've gotten past the hurt of it.
@JessicaHeartsCain I understand completely. My father was abusive, just like the father in this video, and my mother didn't do anything to help us. Even now at 16 my older brother is the only parent I have. Don't apologize. Talking about it is good, don't let the silence consume you, abuse and neglect is the crime, talking about it isn't.
WOW. I've already suscribed but I want to do it again after watching this. The first disney crossover I ever watched was yours - The Last Night. You are just so amazing and I love the way you capture emotion in your videos. 5*!
I love this video. My best friend was sexually assaulted by her brother when she was in elementary school, but we're all about to graduate in the next two months. It really shocks me to know it was so long ago, but I still wish she would've told me and I could've done something to help her. She was adopted by a loving family, and we're still the best of friends. =3
I have watched this one before Shade, but I felt the need to come back and comment!
I recently found out that one of my best friends was physically abused by her father as a child and he was often violent, and this just made me want to come back and watch this. Because this video presents the issue and shows that people can come through this sort of thing with someone strong by their side - and I hope I can be that for her. Beautiful work Shade, you approach the issue with care and compassion.
@RumourDarcile Oh Vee...that's absolutely horrible. No one should have to go through that, no one. I really wish that this video was a work of fiction, that abuse didn't exist...but it does. So I'll pray for your friend, and Vee I'm certain that you can be the one to pull her through this. God Bless you both :)
@xNightshadex Yeh, me too Shade. Me too. It's just awful to think that I knew her when all that horrible stuff was happening and didn't even know, its scary to think how things can go on without people knowing. Thanks Shade, and well.... she's an amazing person despite all she's been through and I know we can pull through anything together. :) Also dear, do you think you might be able to send me this song? I've fallen in love with it. n____n Thanks again darling! Love you <3
What a beautiful video. I was very curious, because I had no idea what you could do with two very overlooked characters. It's amazing. Very sad, and I am now in love with this song.
That was AMAZING!! Awesome storyline, great character choices and the composition and placement of it all was astounding! I didn't even read your description and I was able to clearly follow among. Great Job!
Very nice video I love it, it sends a positive and inspireing message to help stop child abuse well done, thank you for making this amazing video. What is the name of this song and who is it by?
Humm, not seen we're back and everything I get for this takes me to the very old film about dinosaurs, got a link to IMDB for the movie or anything so i can check it out?
You're vids are amazing. You touch on such delicate topics that wouldn't be reachable in many other ways. It's so nice to watch a video like this. Child abuse is wrong and this vid reminds us all of that. Thank you for sharing it with us.
No problem. It's odd that Amvs can speak about things that people find difficult to discuss. Your vids are truely beautiful. I found them by looking through a "Greatest crossovers" Playlist by one of my subscriptions. Most of the list is made up of your videos. They all deserve the places!
That was actually really, really good. I did not expect that at all, because usually I find amvs only good for one thing: laughing at all the bad editing and fan-made gay pairings. But that was a really good use of storytelling and editing.
That was amazing. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it---unbelievable job. And thank you so much for using you talents for something like this!
Wow Amazing Vid Nighshade... The editing, song, and plot was perfect. I don't know if it's because I love the Iron Giant characters, or just drama, or the fact that it gives a message, but whichever it is just makes this video more great.
Shade, God Bless you! <333 It's hard to say this, but I too am a survivor of child abuse. This made me cry. Thank you for using your movie making skills for a good cause. It truly means alot. No child should ever have to endure pain like that. You're amazing!
Vickster I had no idea! *hugs* God Bless you girl, for having the strength to go one live your life. :) I'm really glad that I made this video now and that you've found and connected with it. And thank you for your kind words! I <3333 you!!
:3 I was a survivor of child abuse myself, I'm very happy you contributed to raising awareness of this subject. No child should be beaten sensely or left alone to fend for themself. <3
Firstly I have to say, I'm glad you made it through. :) I can't imagine what that must've been like for you...
Secondly, thank you. I wasn't sure how those who have actually experienced abuse would take this video, so I'm so unbelievably happy you that approve of it!
Hey, Shade! First time watching this (don't ask what took me so long!) and...I'm absolutely floored. Not just by the video, but the message. I especially love how you include the phone numbers at the end - how, instead of just raising awareness to the problem (which in and of itself is a bold step), you also offer a solution, a way out to any kids here on YouTube who go through or know someone who's going through the same.
Oh, I just want to say that I just found out that you made Hogarth's black eye for the second half of this video - I think I'm even more impressed at your editing skills now than when I first watched this, Shade, cuz that's EXTREMELY precise work!
Absolutely adore this! I love this movie, and I was impressed to find something on Dean (and, to a minor extent, Hogarth and Annie), whom I've always felt has been an underappreciated character. Love it, and I just want to say to keep up the good work!
Thank you! I feel the same way about Dean. I remember searching and finding nothing on him so that's why I decided to make a few vids featuring him. Plus, he's awesome lol. :)
I didn't realize this until now, but I think it's great the way you always add some shot where the main character submerges into some river or ocean. It happens in this video at 0:47 as well as the "Jane and Miguel" video. For me, it seems to symbolize a cleansing for the characters. Instead of becoming engulfed in their grief and horrors, they wash themselves clean and seek out to live their lives for the better.
Man, it amazes me how deep all of your videos are. Excellent.
That was awesome!! The black eye looked so real! I was wondering where he had gotten it in the movie, and then realized that it was you! Great job, wonderful storyline! 5 stars and in my faves. :D
This is so awesome....your skills are awesome.....man this vid needs some love from viewers though.....keep up the good work.....awesome story line too...
It lagged on 1:27 when he was sleeping and I laughed s hard. x'D
