[lucie477]

ani amei seus video

voce coloca a realidade

de uma maneira sutil

parabens

[honeykrisp]

I don't understand! Someone please explain to meeee

[mannack]

@honeykrisp The old widow misses her late husband, so as a means of coping with her sorrow, she is burdening herself to establish that connection like the one she had when he was still alive, in this case, the television set that works when she stores another item in her "memory drawer however, her "husband" is sad that she's burdening herself, so he "redeems" her of her sorrow, and the end result is somewhat to say.. never fear, for even though he has passed, they will be together in the end.

[mannack]

@mannack and sorry about the fast-fletched explanation, cursed comment limit

[whimsicalmitch]

[deathhellknight]

[DanceDanceCrazy555]

ive heard this music before whats it called??

[melikab]

@DanceDanceCrazy555 the music is `meditation` from the opera Thaïs & is composed by Louis Gallet. its used frequently in all sorts of tv shows and movies, which is why it sounds very familiar to you. cheers!

[shaaniAkizzY]

waauw, thi sis soo beautiful!

Perfectly done aniBOOM! =)

xx

[ninoacido]

jueputas, me hicieron llorar.

[cacalai0703]

This is very hard for me to understand what its about..So can you guys tell me whats going on,and please thumb up so that ppls can see it and can explain to me

[TheCouragousGirl]

@cacalai0703 It's an old woman whose husband has just died and, being unable to let go, holds on two all of this crap for the memories. The old man sees how she weighs herself down so he makes her fall and let it go and then the go to heaven together.

[rheiaSweetcherries]

the title in traditional chinese meant chest of memories..such a nice story.

[Wyzdm]

That is soo deep, TY.

[camcamomille95]

@ganiritutu si ;)

[TXejas19]

I can honestly say I dont' want anyone that tormented by my memorie....sad :(

[SuperTaffyTV]

Shoulda had requiem for a dream in the backround other than that it was amazing.

[ibruisedmahbrain]

I literally teared up...beautiful.

[anihiliste]

In every memory, has every compartment in the memory of time! Excellent! musique très bien choisie... "Tout nous sourit, tout est douceur....."

[SuperMrduncan]

So sad. all die, but love lives on!!

[MidwesternWhisper]

very nice

[x3Laii]

cute

[gabiritutu]

me encanta. es muy triste.

es una animacion muy buena.

la musica de fondo es claro de luna?

[CwuteGirlGamer]

I just started to watch your vids today And i LOVE them XD!

[pokemonmanic400]

i cried

[VirginOfRape]

Im crying so hard. makes me think of my husband/

[AgentChaos747]

I think it is saying that you can't hold onto everything from the past forever, and that you have to learn how to let go, because if you don't then you will never truly be happy.

[ShadowDragoon09]

at 0:21, is that japanese?!?!

[lolz9113]

@ShadowDragoon09 No, it's chinese. 回忆抽屉 means 'chest of memories'. The symbols I've typed are different because they're the symbols used today, the simplified ones. The ones in the videos are the old ones, still used by Taiwan.

[NightSlash00]

what's the name of the soundtrack?

[smashzen]

Wow! Spectacular.  Will definitely share :D

[Robinzorz]

favorite.

Started out kind of slow, but the endig, fan-freaking-tastic.

[xxemoxDevilxx]

So beautiful *sob*

[Isabelrox0921]

So sad :(

[werty9009]

what song is it on 5:20??

[Jazzybob]

The drawers in her stomach reminds me of a statue Joan Miro (1893 - 1983) made. Very nice animation. =)

[thextacis]

ANI: Any good animation can push with the

BOOM: boom the hart

Aniboom know how move the feeling of the heart...

very nice!

Congratulations!!

[nightstarwolf11]

Not many animations can pull on my heartstrings this much... I was really crying at the end. I can relate incredibly well to the feeling of wanting to hold on to as many memories as you can, but it pulls down on you so much. You really captured the emotions and feelings of loss, and the grieving process, and how its better to let some things go in order to move on. 5/5 stars no doubt. It was beautiful.

[Sinder2196]

Whats the piano song called at 2:07?

[helplessdancer991]

@Sinder2196 The Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven

[Robinzorz]

@Sinder2196 Moonlight Sonata, by Beethoven, if I'm not mistaken:)

[Sinder2196]

@Robinzorz

ohhh, thankyou =)

[4chanisfunny]

Only problem with this animation is the music, it seems to low of quality, often sounding bad. Other than that, it was great.

[Thesecoilspinnet]

@4chanisfunny i think the sound quality was done that way on purpose. it gives the video a very vintage sound and atmosphere like an old record player.

[sallythecricket]

aww how sweet <=')

[ennisdarkangle]

the animator lost here ma grandma pa and all i feel sorry

[MateoJFR]

i had to watch this one twice

i'm normally pretty sharp at understanding most of ANIBOOM's "open to interpretation" videos... but i would appreciate it if someone could help guide me through this one... all that i understand is that she lost her husband a while ago and in the end is able to be with him after all...

what's the rest all about?

[BeatITdown4U]

wow ,, so beautiful .. :)

[danyandmarc]

Aww... She reminds me of a very old version of my mom :'( R.I.P dad...

[person10001]

So I guess in the end, when the woman fell, she hurt herself and she died, but in death, she was with her husband and she was happy...

[estella2lenne]

Somehow, we're just like the old lady. We keep our memories in our chests and the more you keep, the heavier you'll get. So, it's good to let things go and give the chest space to store other things. :) Thank you for sharing :)

[MrMorphico]

@estella2lenne depends on memories..radically

[riotpoliec]

Um, nice house?

[CelebTalkWithDavid]

WTF!!!!!!!!1

[Pfrotz]

damn...this make me cry at the end.......great video :'-)

[ryivhnn]

The animation felt a litle stilted at the beginning, and man that was one bizarro tower. Very sad story, quite well told I thought.

[Renew3D]

So she spends every day locked in her tower... crying? Isn't that too much?

[raythegardener]

A old man getting into an old lady's drawers?

[nesipaula]

He llorado ,pero de emoción y creo que es el corto que más me ha conmovido.

Y además de lo mejor hecho y ambientado.

Felicidades¡¡¡¡

[effraja]

the animation is great but the story is sooooo sad

[Nova7o9]

It was really quite nice, very symbolic and sweet. But I felt the camera movements were kind of haphazard or sloppy. I understood the choice of angles and appreciated them, but the camera shaking took the viewer's attention away from the lovely character design and beautiful shaders and to the camera's movements instead.

[hiruc]

animation was great, but sfx... well...

i still thumbed it up, though.

[jeang287]

Beautiful. Thank you for creating this endearing video. Bravo!

[draiiven]

I was just playing this piano sonata before i watched this freaky!!!! My wife told me it was loud so I paused it to hear this.

[RyuDarragh]

Our lives are but the sum of our memories, both those we ourselves hold, soon lost to death, and those held by others, soon lost to forgetfullness. After all, even words and pictures are of no meaning out of their context. And no matter how hard we try and hold onto our memories, are they as sweet as they day they were made? Treasure your memories, but share them, let them go and do not weep, for you, too, will soon enough be a sweet memory.

[kokody1995]

Sniffle... sad but amazing...

[lazarus921]

Meh

[SaveTheBluGreenAlgae]

@lazarus921 indeed

[hoppetosse8]

wow! very symbolic! I like that you choose different forms of expression - that more grafic/drawing style on the computerscreen which shows the memories. Must have taken ages to do this..... thanks!

[1234561arn]

bockschwul!

[Comepacmans]

Good Job!

[Pfrotz]

oh man...this make me cry......great video :)

[SirBazdir]

Same comment as pusho12 with accent on emotions. Great work.

[ZZDaikun]

The audio peaked at times, but otherwise, very good.

[pusho12]

Really depressing and emotional great animation style

[sisterdiscordia]

[talewynn]

[DRealfriknKeenan]

voice of the grandma - smoker from left 4 dead

[ImaBigScaryBabycake]

Poor granny :(

The animation was well done, even tough it was sad. Luckily the end was good for the old widow. :)

A small thing that bugged me, were the sounds of the old widow. But other than that, it was lovely.

[elchininoloco]

please see my vids! ',)

[elchininoloco]

sorry 4 my english i'm from Costa Rica!

[elchininoloco]

i don't understand D_d

[LsXfollower]

@elchininoloco Lol I dont think it was a concept to be easily understood but to make us have our own interpretations of it. I believe she died at the end though... And that the overloaded box was the anguish of memories like that .__. Idk..

[CookieOnMyShoulder]

make it in hd pl0x

[rila]

Poor lady. :<

It's a very beautiful animation though but at the same time sadden as well.

[Mixamo3DAnimation]

The incorporation of 2D and 3D is absolutely excellent. Wonderful rendering in the 3D parts, and I love the simplicity in the drawings.. The story is also very touching and you used appropriate music..

[MrGamefreak0]

[XXXLFan]

[geek2thextreme]

this is just to say that memories are supposed to be good but sometimes it just makes us realize how lonely we really are

[pkiriakou]

so many memories....

[kayabest1982]

so sad.....

[vinegar1991]

so sad and sweet the same time. :'(

[vinceat852]

I like the animation, but i wonder what the animator means by the clothesline and stuff that go into her house.

[Theitisme400]

@vinceat852 I think it's just meant to symbolize a constant stream of nostalgic memories that becomes to much to bare in the end.

[vampire17vero]

so ..so sad ..almoust made me cry ...beautiful animation!

[PsyMike3d]

nice...
