Maybe the real treasure is the friends we made along the way.

I also love the “I can be your friend - I mean - I can build your friend.” It seems that the little guy is desperate for relationship but insecurity leads him to seek Moo’s own happiness, which he assumes couldn’t include his friendship 🥺

​​I like the patchwork and muted style and the distant ethereal yet natural feel + also the scene when the cube boi was sad showed how selfless he was :)

[Damkids]

Amazing way to start the morning. I feel like a kid again. Watching cartoons before I have to go to school.

"who are you"
"yuu"
"no, not me, you"
"yes, i am yuu"

This is so machinarium coded and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT !!! The story, visuals and overall realization are stunning, well done <3

[rdubodan]

Un air de Machinarium que j'adore, pour moi un des meilleurs court métrage Gobelin depuis de longues années !! Les decords très poussés et l'ambiance générale dans une âme d'enfant : je suis ultra fan. Un énorme bravo pour cette réalisation à l'équipe 🙏

[boucherat]

impressive mix of 2d and 3d animation :)) very well done

[petarpetrov]

THIS IS SO UNDERRATED!!!
OH MY GOD. THIS IS LIKE A CHILDREN'S BOOK COME TO LIFE!! THE ARTSTYLE IS *GORGEOUS* !!!
The use of 3D is genius, I love the character designs, the whole world has this whole whimsical vibe with a tinge of sadness in it, it's lovely!
I'd love to see more of this world and it's characters <3

[jeromejojo]

Magnifique, le fait d'avoir un univers très riche et un graphisme fouillé n'entrave en rien la pureté de l'histoire et des sentiments.

[frostynoz]

I want to see more of Moo and Yuu and their beautiful universe ! Great job !

[AtaMindParty]

Absolutely why I love the medium so much. Closest thing we have to real magic.

[Wifl]

Star is like a guide to find what you need. Like this random moments what lead to this random guy or girl who you become friends with. It's all random, by the part what's not, is you doing your move.
So yeah people do your first move, it's better to cringe on yourself for doing something, than hate on yourself for not doing something.

[The_AceEmpress]

This art style reminds me so much of a children’s book and I love it, especially the textures. Well done to the team!

[staysleepy]

Beautiful visuals and beautiful story! I hope everyone who worked on this is proud because this is a genuine masterpiece!

[yourlocaldemon]

I do NOT feel like I deserved to watch that for FREE holy COW.

[Mokyr]
