Cautionary Tales (Award Winning Short Film)

Well if this wasn’t the sweetest thing ever

The pain on Alan's face was palpable. How do you make a character pull on your heart so much in so little time?? Well done!

Idk about you guys, but at the ending when they're just staring at eachother, that made me so happy.

I remember all these from when I was a child. This short is on my top 10. It's perfect. When she walked in the room, I got chills and a smile from ear-to-ear and a tear in my eye. Its got everything.

"It's at times like this that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was young." "Why? What did she tell you?" "I don't know. I didn't listen."

His face looks like that claymation stuff, like Wallace and gromit.

I've scrolled past this SO many times thinking it was going to be a claymation video lol

Why am I crying so hard? This was absolutely wonderful. I've been scarred, and I'm not alone. Thanks for being here, with me.

I cannot remember ever seeing a movie or video in which the "Aha" moment comes during the closing credits. Brilliant.

Wow. This mans really said “😬”

Oh my god, the feelings...this is a masterpiece! The non-vocal acting is outstanding. And the comments are as I expected.

So this is why my vision has been going blurry lately.

FIRST THOUGHT: Wallace of Wallace and Gromit makes faces like that.

I like how the artists don't mind helping us out of the dark and giving us a clear picture of the concept in the film. I'm not too familiar with all these children's tales and got that they probably all personified one tale but didn't quite understand how. Then the credits rolled. Terrific!

I don't know what I was expecting but it wasn't that, I love this

When I was about six years old, my mom and I were waiting for the bus. It was pretty late and already dark. Then an old lady came along, walked straight up to me and asked me if I wasn't afraid of the boogeyman coming to get me. My mom got so furious and angry, asking her why on earth she was so keen on scaring me for no reason at all – and vividly told her to get lost. I still love here for that moment (and of course for a gazillion other reasons). Therefore I never was, and never will be afraid of the dark, or of spiders, or of dentists, etc... – cautionary tales are for envious and lazy grown ups who've forgotten how it was to be a child and sadly are only capable of patronizing – Thank you for that story. My mom just would have loved to see this. ♥

This is a perfectly-acted short film. That moment when he looked at the person beside him after seeing the girl, that moment when he was looking for a validation of how beautiful the moment is. Perfectly crafted

I love how this shows that no matter what difference you may have; theres always someone out there with a very similar experience. Love yourself for who you are and not for who you think you are 😊

okay wow i was so confused why sarah called herself veronica like..for what purpose? turns out shes ''the girl who told too many lies''. AMAZING

Just in case someone here needs to know: the song is Everybody Wants, by Half Moon Run
