🎙 Rant:

Hello everyone who has scrolled this far down. This is by far the most vulnerable piece of content that I have ever created. I was even questioning whether or not to post this video because I feel like its kinda boring 😂 The idea was stuck in my head since February and every time I would go to make a video this idea would refuse to leave the forefront of my brain. I really hope that someone is able to watch this video and find some value in it, and find some value in me sharing my experience. I really dont expect this video to do well like im fully expecting this to flop horrible 😂 but idk i felt like I HAD to make this video just to get it out of my system. Btw im just word vomiting at this point and typing anything that comes to my brain. I promise that my next video will be something anime related so I can stay in my genre. My goal for this channel is to be someone like Videogamedunkey (HUGE inspo) where his main content is video games, but he will occasionally post videos about movies, or just anything that he thinks is interesting. Thats my end goal. Also, I really am trying to be more personable because I want to be known as Zelly the Human/Person and not just a faceless content creator making content to watch and forget about regardless of how good the video is. If you actually read to this point comment "🦊❤" and Ill heart your comment thank you btw

Hello Everyone.

This is by far the most vulnerable video I have ever made. Its something extremely different than my usual content, but I hope that you still enjoy it regardless. I fully expect this video to flop, but as long as this video impacts one person than it would have served its purpose ❤ and for real this time, I PROMISE not to take another month to post again 😂

Btw I turned down 3 different sponsorships for this video so please follow me on twitter/X @ZellyJP

Thank you for 10K subs as well

See you soon,

The whole vibe to this movie is like a fever dream that you're grateful to have had the pleasure of seeing.

That last line.... Hit me a certain way I think I'm going to do it I'm going to chase a dream becoming an entertainer thank you so much man

I am currently 14 (still a kid). I watched and grew up with Fantastic Mr. Fox. When I was younger, not really understanding the film very well, I would just laugh at the jokes just because everyone else was, even though I didn't comprehend any of them. Yet each time I rewatch this movie, I love it more. It's more than wholesome. It's formative. This movie is good, true, and beautiful. I know this word is over used when describing a good movie, but this really is a masterpiece. Now I truly do understand this piece of cinema. This movie is cunning, and witty. So beautiful.

BroOOO MY 21ST BIRTHDAY WAS FUCKED BY THE QUARANTINE TOO!!! Then my mother almost passed away, I ended up homeless for two years, and I suddenly realized I had multiple disabilities I had my whole life but didnt know until the quarantine fucked up my life and forced me to sleep behind a tv for two years while trying to work night shifts at a mcdonalds and look after my mother. When the world goes into a tail spin like that the way you feel.. feels insane. I was forced to realize essentially that I had forced myself into the rat into to survive and that I couldn't survive like that much longer. That my body physically couldn't take it. So I made the choice to accept myself head-on, disabilities, trauma, gender, sexuality and race all these things that I had been trying to avoid understanding and exploring, and do what I could to actually *live* instead of just surviving. This movie has been one of my go-to movies throughout this time since my own early twenties as a way to help me learn to embrace being alive.

I recently found out about Fantastic Mr Fox and the original book, both of which led me to this video. I wish I had seen this movie earlier as a kid, it's such a fascinating film in every way, and very unique.
This video has made me go into an existential crisis, but it is probably the best thing to have happened to me because now I realize I could end up doing something I don't like for the rest of my life for not fully questioning myself what I really want to do earlier. Now I'm finishing high school, and I just feel scared. I have several things I want to do, yet I don't know which one I want to choose. I don't even know if I can do all of them for a living at once, because I think that it is all 3 of them combined that make me feel happy, knowing I'm doing what I love.

Had I not seen this video in time, I don't know what would've happened. But thank you.

i love this take on the one and only, fantastic mr. fox. as whimsical and humorous as it is, people tend to forget the underlying lesson of the film, which is, as you said it best, fulfillment in life. sometimes we get stuck underground. sometimes we have to do what we can to make ends meet. and sometimes, along the way (especially in your 20s and in this economy), we lose a little bit of ourselves. this video resonated with me as a fellow 24 year old who was in college and working at the time of the pandemic. one college degree later and i've realized i'm not meant to work a corporate job. surely there's more to life than that, right? i guess we'll just have to navigate our way out of the traditional "9-5 job, marriage, kids, and retirement at 65" route. seeing this video now definitely adds an extra sentiment on how i view this movie and how impactful it is for someone in their 20s. thank you for sharing your story, and i hope you get that treehouse on a hill some day!

We're the same age and had the same revelations this year. I am finally starting my path to do what I actually wanna do, which is film. Disregarding what anyone on the outside says, , societal and family pressure just has to go. Now I've worked on no-budget sets, on a theater piece as an assistant and even got funding for my first short film within 3 months. Things can actually happen if we throw it into the universe

[friendlyneighborhoodsoeedw]

I love this movie, but i never thought that a film like it, or really, any film at all could connect with someone so genuinely. I really enjoyed hearing your experience here, and it really does tell me that art can be interpreted in different ways with experience. What others take out on it based on their own journey in life. Its really awesome. And im more than happy you shared it

[huntergerlach]

Movie is well-rated, the artist of this video, Zelly, however, far underrated.

Props for choosing the life you want brother

[Zilness]

I’m so shocked that you currently have only 12k subscribers. Your videos are great quality and I’m going to binge watch the 5 or so videos you have so far.

[montybrewster]

My sister bought me this on dvd one xmas & i thought...what the heck? How wrong i was with that initial thought. It’s become one of my top 20 films of all time. A truly amazing film & wonderfully brought to life by the animators, voice actors, wes & art design team. As such i can totally relate to your connection with this film zelly. Thanks for the vid, great job dude.

[addrain]

cant believe how underrated this channel is, banger after banger bro. never stop making these videos

[jay-uxm]

its not just a kids movie, sure, children can watch it (and should) but to grasp this silly little movie about foxes fully is a experience that you can only hope you might experience.

[JeffyHick]

I liked this movie as a kid. I obsessed over some of the jokes, but I never realized how good it was. I was also the same way with the Secret of NIMH, Rango, Cars, and seasons 5-7 of Thomas the tank engine

[nobones]

There had to have been teardrops on the script. Beautiful video bro 👏

[creepykittycat]

This is so relatable, thank you so much for making this video! Please, don't stop working on your content, you are such a warming person in this space.

[dartino_]

I really appreciate your way of talking about movies, just subscribed in hope to see more of it

[IceTV]

Yo bro I really love hearing peoples stories and you gave me something that I loved. I feel you as a content creator and you really just got to put it out there, and from what I've seen of your stuff, you have nothing to worry about quality wise. Keep at it man🦊

[yo-Jordiewatch]

Finally people talking about this masterpiece
