After this video, I immediately bought the book. I waited for the book to ship and I was as excited as a little girl waiting for a puppy to come home.
I finished the book in 3 days and my god, it was one of THE BEST thing I've ever read my entire life.
Thank you, Zealous Creative. I'm really looking forward to similar future project.

Honestly, this is such a sad story. Their entire short life is spent working and desperately hoping for a friend while fighting their extinction.

When 5 minutes tells a story better than most 90 minute movies, you know its special

[LOL-cringe]

- This video is like a black hole.
- No matter how hard you try, YT always finds a way to bring you back here

The fact that this guy is still puting hearts and replying comments after 8 years is amazing

[zuzudunlap]

Dude it's been 11 years and this is still a masterpiece

My teacher made us watch this short film in fifth grade and when the plot twist came out whole class were in shock. Aw memories

How can people find this piece of art even remotely creepy or nightmare inducing?This has to be one of the best and most beautiful animations I’ve ever seen.There’s also brilliant music to back it up.

This is honestly a pretty sad, vicious cycle.

Years ago, I thought they both were a couple and they were making each other over and over again even if they could only meet for a few seconds.

[canis]

This honestly pretty sad though, to keep a species alive they must continue to remake others only to have a few minutes with one another

[jesusl]

This short perfectly encapsulates the human condition of picking up the tools of the ones before us time running out scurrying to leave others better off

[brookekennedy]

Did anyone else notice that the closer he was to bringing her alive the more he smiled

[octogonSmuggler]

9 years later, and I still find this animation to be on par with block buster films such as Coraline. Everything is so smooth and wonderfully pleasing to the eye. Also, as an added note, the book is absolutely amazing! You guys really lived up the the 'Creative" in your name.

I love how Allegro (I assume that's the Maker's name) slowly begins to smile as he creates the next Maker

[bread]

This cycle is so sad. So basically what the creature has to do is make a creation and teach it everything they know and give them the book to make their creation and do that same thing.

I think she was supposed to a daughter to him, not a wife. Notice how he took the time to show her the place and teach her what she needed to know, even though she was unable to reciprocate his affection or do anything for him. It's what parents do. They take care of us and when we are finally able to understand and appreciate them, it's often time for them to leave us.

This is my worst fear, living in endless loop
