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

    Moral of the story: Ovens ruin relationships and sledgehammers save them.
  • @cyber_runner
    My heart literally broke when he realized the cupcakes were bought and not baked😭😭

    "My wife and I were about to divorce so she smashed a hole in our wall" Seriously though, this animation is so cute and heartwarming. I love the simplistic style of the 3D models and the lighting looks gorgeous.

    The girl: gives supermarket cupcakes My brain: “Top 10 anime betrayals”
  • @tetsuky
    moral or the story: dont slam the oven door. or youll lose sight of the plan by trying to buy a new one
  • I love how they acted like humans up until the end when he licked her. That took me off guard 💀
  • 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.
  • Imagine seeing your neighbor hit a hole through their wall then see the two of em laugh.
  • Their neighbours after years: hey look it’s that couple tearing down the house again
  • 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
  • @aliyahpulido953
    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!
  • "oh darn it the ovens too big for our kitchen lets renovate our whole house"

    I'm trapped in an eternal cycle of animated shorts.
  • @winglessbat
    I still can't believe this was made by Chileans, my country... So happy to see that there are creators out here.
  • @caidalee1994
    I love that even though the figurines shattered, the cupcake never did. Good symbolism.
  • @fpants18
    I just noticed that in the beginning, the colors were very vibrant. As it went on though, the colors turned duller as the couple grew further apart. Excellent symbolism.
  • @askryuzaki3693
    One of the most heartbreaking moments in this anination was when... she bought the cupcakes.
  • @HexedAce
    If this ends up tragic I will scream. I haven’t finished it. Edit: IT WAS SO SWEET I LOVE IT OMG
  • @captoonsvideo
    It’s astonishing how a lot of these independent animated short films have more love and care put into them than what Disney’s putting out right now.
