THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL. AUGH THE SCENE WHERE THEY RUN THROUGH THE FORREST JUST HAVING FUN WAS GORGEOUS

[goodboi]

Found it interesting that the blondie was allowed to live. Maybe she would return to spread the story of the forest guardian and the huntress as a warning against poaching? Finnish folklore could go against this entirely, I don’t know anything about it, but it makes for an interesting thought.

For those confused, I don't think this is about killing animals. It's about killing for fun/sport. All the animals she deals with were killed and left to waste, not taken to be eaten like it's meant to be. The boar was shot and left and next to the elk, there's 3 more corpses, all left to waste. So the message doesn't seem to be "don't kill animals, even if it's to survive", it's more like "don't kill other living creatures when it's not necessary".

For those who don't know, Tellervo is a particularly charming and playful daughter of the forest god Tapio in Finnish mythology.

In the Kalevala, the shepherd asks Tellervo to help protect the cattle: Tellervo, Tapion neiti, metsän tyttö tylleröinen,
utupaita, hienohelma, hivus keltainen, korea,
jok' olet karjan kaitselija, viitsijä emännän viljan
mieluisassa Metsolassa, tarkassa Tapiolassa!
Kaitse karja kaunihisti, viitsi vilja virkeästi!

Tellervo is a finnish name, but I wasn't expecting the music to be also on finnish. Beautiful.

[stardust]

Now the real question. One of the huntresses arrows went through the dagger, was the arrow really good or was the dagger an oddly soft metal.

beautiful film, and perfect song choice. yona makes such good music

[SinSefia]

Hmm ... I don't know, I feel like something's missing. It needs something, it needs ... subscribers. Is this the only channel for this video?

[Noodle_Salsinha]

2:26 Man, this part reminded me of a scene from Brother Bear!!!

[pena]

When i saw the name tellervo i guessed this was related to finland in some way but i didn't expect this beautiful finnish music on background - oh and amazing work with the animation btw

[Cactus_cant_hug]

[александрПётров-цп]

[monystire]

Tuumasin skipata tän, mutta suomenkielinen laulu sai mut hämmentyneeksi ja uteliaaksi. Tää oli kaunis ja hieno, onneksi jäin katsomaan. Hienoa työtä!

[thakonwitwechpiat]

So beautiful and so impressive. This short film giving quite deep world-building as well as metaphor silent dialogue.

[Tegan-gwjt]

I would watch a full film of this. I loved it so much and the artwork is just stunning such an amazing story

[Liitujauho]

Honestly almost made me cry😭 glad To see sum finland related stuff, there should be More!!

[eltonbormes]

Interesting for sure. The people were absolutely right to fear her, and she could be brutal. No heroes or villains here.

[ashley_plus]

Everything is beautiful! the music, the art style and the story, it's beautiful! You guys are that kind of people who inspire me to pursue my dream as an animator. I hope you guys continue to make more arts like this. ☺❤❤

[potatogod]

THAT WAS AMAZING! I loved it all, you and your team are truly talented

[Melllie]

Holy cow I didn’t notice on my first watch but the fact that it switched from the eye sockets being blacked out when they first met to being able to see her eyes (the windows to the soul) after the huntress put aside her prejudice! This is such an awesome piece and I’ve never hoped for a feature length version of a short film so badly!
