[shishianimates]

This has to be one of the most underrated videos on YouTube u can feel amount of thought, time, effort and care that was put into it.

"Before the morning, I'll be-"
He never finished, as death came unexpectedly, before any of them made it back to thank him. Beautifully made.

The tale teller, although this man was old
He spread us cheer by stories he once told
The winter came without surprise
This poor old man met his demise
But one part of him was left
A part that could never rest
Even though this time was cold
The part that’s left was his heart of gold
R.I.P. mister story teller...

This animation is absolutely beautiful. It’s sad that it’s so underrated. :(

[durpddurke]

When a less than 10 minute animation is better than many more than an hour long animated movies....

[_skyfullofstars]

I am sorry that this piece doesn't get as much attention it deserves. We love you, nonetheless, Jazza. We are so, so, so proud of you! ❤️

I am in This is just amazing. This is better than any movie and it did its job in less than ten minutes

[deadpoolnerd]

I remember first seeing this in college, we had studied the video as an example in my animation class. It touched us all, and still this story touches me now. It touches me deeper now watching Jazza's channel more, it's like a message of art in any form. Drawings paintings cartoons whatever, it tells and holds a story. And that story is told revealed onto those that need it. And each person gains their own takeaway from the stories told. And in the end even though those that helped shape those stories may be gone, but the message and kindness they spread will not. Great examples of this Stephen Hillenburg, Stan Lee, Walt Disney. As an artist this is my goal, not for fame nor adulation. But just to bring happiness and even just a moment's distraction through the characters I make and the stories I tell. Thank you for this Jazza.

[rickypham]

Every time I watch this even though I know he doesn't get the book out, I hope for it every time

[roseaeolita]

I watch this every month ( it kinda turned into a tradition ) and every time I watch this, my heart melts and I cry. I love this animation
