Our latest film ‘Teacups’, is now live on our channel

[mattheiutaelor]

I love how caring, and how motherly Death is shown in this. A very beautiful way to see death.

"i hope death is like being carried to your bedroom when you were a child & fell asleep on the couch during a family party. i hope you can hear the laughter from the next room"

[getsuryu]

he was so hammered that even his ghost was drunk

[ravenakasa]

'i just need more time' this phrase just broke me

Death is easily one of my favorite characters in the human mythology, and this is how I've always imagined it. Death is a being meant to bring a life to a safe closure, not just whip it straight to heaven or hell. all lives deserve closure, if an afterlife exists, even those who were seen as evil. Death should be a peaceful thing, a breaking from our imperfect world, into a resting place. I think that this animation portrays that beautifully.

This short film had such a simple, but beautiful and colorful animation. I haven't really seen Death portrayed in such a caring, warm-hearted and motherly light before. It just goes to show that there can be so many ways to see one concept.

I love that death was portrayed as sentimental, patient, caring and a woman. Not often does the grim come that way.

This one really caught me by surprise. My sister passed a few weeks prior to me viewing this for a class assignment. Really helped me not only deal with losing my sister but also helped me accept mortality in the most profound way I have yet.

Have you ever been so drunk, that you got up after car crush but forgot your body and then Death had to look for your drunk ethernal ass?

6:30 “Why did we never speak?”
“I don’t know”

Damn...

[redroses]

I'm confused and very sad with a slight sense of comfort.

[BusyWithBizzy]

I saw this animation as a teenager many years ago. It has stuck with me for so long and been a fundamental piece of media in my long journey of accepting death... It softens my heart everytime I see it

[indefinitemistynights]

He couldn't see life until he was dead...

[desirenova]

The fox: *sees death* Excuse me, could you give me directions to--
*death disappears*
Fox: ok

[mataschmata]

This is one of those films that i'll remember for the rest of my life.

[hunterlurvey]

Watching again for the who knows how many times, when he says "we can just tell them" she goes "tell who?" As if there isn't any higher power she works for. Fascinating

[katheriney]

"Don't drop me."
"I won't"
*drops him 5 seconds later*

[aneldritchfrogman]

I like the interpretations of Death not being some creepy and all horrifying skeletor wielding scythe. Where death is merely a person in a robe who knows more then you could ever know and gives but sadly knows that you can’t stay on the earth and must do what they must do.

[stingrae]

Baby: "Don't drop me."
Death: "I won't."
-drops him a couple seconds later
