The crocodile has everything it needs for a comfortable evening in front of the TV: cushions, a stool, pretzel sticks and a TV magazine. But then the pretzel sticks ruin all the fun.

Moral of the story: by helping each other, we can get through obstacles easily👍

[erickroman]

This is a love story better than most novels out there.

[maie-nock]

So you're trying to tell me this is the first time these guys are eating? 😂

[aelspecto]

The fact they didn't pick up the ones in the floor made me pretty mad :l

[SerAbiotico]

Why i like this animation? I'm almost 25 yo... ó_o

[kylej.]

You're shorts are nothing less than genius!

[nayanajose]

Idc about the practical ways of eating a pretzel. It just made me smile and helped me to get a good night's sleep

[hornedowl_]

It's incredible that even 7 years later and being a small channel this guy is still making videos.

[haileylobenstine]

if its always so hard for him to eat then how is he alive

[dragonshivers]

My son and I love your videos. Whenever he sees Film Builder in my recomended watch list, he always asks me if there's any new videos. I even showed him some of then freakier ones. He's got a passion for enginerring and animation. So thank you for adding kindeling under an already burning fire.
You're such an inspiration to both of us. Thank you so much for another hilarious video! 😂

[ashflint]

okay, why are people disrespectfully commenting this guy's videos, do you think these videos are meant for adults, HELL NO, I've seen people leaving negative comments, this is for kids, not for EVERYONE, so be skeptical.

The moral of the story is teamwork makes the dreamwork

[Female-Taurus]

0:57 The crocodile’s snout is too long for himself to eat those pretzel sticks, which is why they are ruining his TV evening.

[BuzzinVideography]

These are hilarious.
Very well produced

[AbrahamAnimations]

This almost made me cry :) Great animation guys! :D

[PTtheWildEspeon]

Without context telling you that he's a crocodile, some might think he's some sort of spinosaurid like Baryonyx or Suchomimus

[fuckery]

if this was the case with the crocodile alone, imagine a T-rex

[alaakamel]

You really have a great idea to tel us how can we love each other
