[Malanaks]

Happiness is only a falling cow away

[bloodsuckingmonster4]

I think just about everyone here was brought here by Humon...

[thumperisthecutest]

[WolfieboyMachi]

@canadianshit212

If any metal-related things to relax to, I'd rather listen to Ambient Black Metal or Neo Folk. Bands like Vordven, Wardruna, Summoning etc.

Or at least some Pagan/Viking metal like Myrkgrav, Helfahrt or Enslaved.

I didn't know that you were 5 years old at the time. I apologize. My bad. It was really stupid of me.

[TheQuestion8]

Simply beautiful.

[ThePrincessNausicaa]

[AlyanaUZ]

Great story, great animation!

Actually, it isn't 'Den Danske Dikteren', it's just 'Den Danske Poet'. I'm danish.. ^^

[KRESTEN1]

@StuartNiccals Det er fordi det er en norsk historie ;) og på norsk er det "Den danske dikteren" på dansk kan man jo også sige "Den danske digter" :)

[Doggycat17]

[KKbook]

[MagnusHarvest]

i love the old copenhagen drawings

[UsuariaNoRegistrada]

could you traslate this to spanish. mi inglés es basura y parece muy buena historia.

muy buena animación,

[MolinMUSE]

God damned beautiful.

[o1Tanjas]

I really enjoyed every second of this film, and of course it reminded me of the brotherhood between Norway, Sweden and Denmark, it's a brotherhood that the history has granted us, despite wars and conflicts , we have that brotherhood, and we always will.

[spideyheidi]

that was brilliant ♥

[elebunny45]

awwww

[mediachap]

I think this is a wonderfully crafted story animation. Rightfully deserving of an Oscar. My favourites are the booze cruisers and the backpackers getting on and off the ferry! (o:

[oberstul]

That was... BEAUTIFUL!

[hoshizora8]

I've seen this video at least 15 times, and yet I still keep coming back to it to watch it again and again because it is absolutely heart warming, touching, and beautiful. I love the animation, the story, the narrator's voice, the sound effects, *everything* in this little short is absolutely amazing. A million "Like"s for 'A Danish Poet'! :)

[maaarrraaa]

I loooove this video! It's so wonderful :)))

[esicologico]

i saw this film one late night, and it's simplicity touched my heart. I watch it now and even though I know exactly what happens, it still makes me drop a tear or two:)

[TheMatted]

I want to visit her to get inspiration ;^)

[FiaFi]

This is so beautiful. It's the kind of love story I'd like to pass on to my (eventual) children and grandchildren.

I'm a writer too, so who knows how I'll get my inspiration?

[41linestreet]

Very nice :) But it true. I love nfb videos!

[awjingchuan]

haha :) such irony...

[norvegiaostfaan]

were is the norwegian version that Liv Ullmann also made the voice of?

[herroimyerro]

This is amazing

[Freakingwork]

Genious! cant believe i actually watched it to the end, this is so not me, but it was really good,

[richardcorsale]

Magnificent... count the stories that took place which were not narrated :)

The dog's desire for approval, for example... How brilliant..

[flyingkites123]

i might still be a little seed, floating in the sky, waiting for someone to come and get me. <3 my heart just cried.

[FreewheelinLibertine]

Cute story of coincidence and love.

[StuffTodo247]

430 have no taste in a good story

[eternal8song]

wow, that was so cute :D

[MizuyaShukage]

I just love the dog ^_^ He always got kicked by Ingeborg's husband when he licked his shoe and when the husband died, the dog licked Ingeborgs shoe and she doesn't kick him. And then he hugs her, that's just so cute.

And the "When a relative dies" sentence is so full of win. I always have to laugh when I hear it ^____^

[ExtraordinaryWriter]

This was kind of epic.

[plainsongable]

I love everything about this film. It is as if the stars in the heavens are speaking to one another through the earphones I wear and that my head just casually happens to be between them.

[PlasticWaterTV]

This is really beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[4GetTHEFun]

This really makes perfect sense and has a great plot! Anyone knows if the crew who made this shortfim has made any full movies?

[emblemside88]

[Biawog]

Really cute and really nice story :D! I loved it ^^! Truly deserved the Oscar :D

[TrinneLovesAll13]

are the books supposed to be in danish? cos if they are, they didn't do a good job on translating. it is more like a mix of danish, swedish and norwegian. but i really nice short film, great job! it is fun to watch it being danish and all :D

[Stantzs]

[Phoenixfan77]

@sexyemofruit Lol, who let's them take their own bottles on the boat? There's probably an open bar on the boat, if not ppl who sell drinks. Smh at the drunkards.

[ekf501]

that was too cute :) it really makes you think, but not too much because its really difficult to know all of the details and circumstances that led to your birth :P

I burst out laughing when those guys from the church dropped the casket in the hole lol good grief XD

[chibicherry3]

that was a beautifle story ;u;

[xsophie109x]

That is one careless postman.

[XxslitwristsxX]
