    When it's all going good but there's still 10 minutes left chuckles "I'm in danger"

    “I don’t need this house, I don’t need the kitchen, I don’t need that job, I don’t need any of this! I just needed you” Damn that’s a powerful line. edit: I don’t care if it’s five lines, I’m not changing it
  • @cyber_runner
    My heart literally broke when he realized the cupcakes were bought and not baked😭😭
  • Not to sound corny, but I believe the lesson of this story is it's never too late to reconnect with someone you love. It's only too late if you give up.
  • "oh darn it the ovens too big for our kitchen lets renovate our whole house"
  • @justas423
    I'm trapped in an eternal cycle of animated shorts.
  • I love the representation of married couples whose main goal isn't to have children. Starting a family is a great and beautiful thing, I just appreciate when stories depict married couples whose dream is just to live happily together and love each other, running their small business as a couple. I love seeing all the different aspirations and dreams that make people happy, including running a really awesome bakery!
  • I thought they were both dogs But now that I realized they are actually a cat and dog couple It probably implements the message even more that after all differences they are still together THATS SO CUTE
  • @mearness4027
    I love how the husband and wife broke but the cupcake always stayed together.
  • @caidalee1994
    I love that even though the figurines shattered, the cupcake never did. Good symbolism.
  • @winglessbat
    I still can't believe this was made by Chileans, my country... So happy to see that there are creators out here.
  • Their neighbours after years: hey look it’s that couple tearing down the house again
  • @firecatsat8848
    Ngl, i cried when the dog prepared everything for her and she came home late. :( Edit: wow this comment has more friends than I do 👏

    This animation is just so…..great. How it was the cat who was afraid to lose the plan if they don’t follow it right now, how it was her who did it all eventually. And how it was the dog who helped her remember. They swapped places.
  • This is what marriage is. It's passion, and love, and dreams for the future at first, that evolves into responsbilities, and boredom, and ruts, and kids, and drifting apart........and then back together.......and repeat........and repeat........and repeat. There are times you can't wait to be together and times you wish you could just go your own way. You fall into and out of love over and over again. And if you just stick with it, before you know it, you're in your 70's and can look back at all you've shared and endured. We celebrate our 50th anniversary soon. And I'm so glad we stuck it out.

    And what we learned from this: Always get the extended warranty on your oven.

    I just LOVE that their house slowly desaturated the colors and faded away, and when she finally caught sight of what she had been missing, she tore the big hole into the house and let the light come through, saturating the color palette again. Such a nice touch that really adds to the tone.

    If this ends up tragic I will scream. I haven’t finished it. Edit: IT WAS SO SWEET I LOVE IT OMG
  • The part when the camera zooms away from the wife is an amazing yet subtle touch to how the two were slowly becoming farther apart, and the moments when the two were close were really heartwarming, yet the parts where they were far away had a more melancholic tone. It just adds to the subtle brilliance of the delivery of the main message of being close to loved ones.
