You reminded me of my Grandpa.such a great man, May you have eternal peace grandpa. Thanks for such an amazing film.

This is beautifully done. I watched it twice. It brought tears to my eyes.

My most watched video. My Choctaw grandfather raised me and taught me the old ways. I create bent wood boxes and give them to friends who influenced me. I've kept only one, for my ashes when I'm gone. like the boy for his grandfather. I use Haida and other Pacific Northwest coastal Indian art to decorate them. Real bent wood, not glued up sides.

Beautiful. Makes me sad and happy and a mix of both in the end how profound this film. The order of these emotions remind me of disneys the "little match girl". This was awsome.

Thank You Ariel Jew for the magical production. It calls to my heart and to my passed grandfather.

That is how storytelling works. Story is more important than graphic. nice job :)

Kinda sad but touching at the same time.

I'm WAbenaki this reminds me of my own child hood memory of making my first totem pole and totem charm I made it to honor my cat and the charm to protect her on her next journey

That made me sad. My grandpa has been gone a long time.

[merumeru]

What a bloody legend (im not from australia)

[ArmaniusArt]

Always sleeping grandpa. Look at his eyes )))

Should have shown him as a grown man at the end, and change the music of the current and memories, it is confusing and there is no sense of progression in terms of time.
