One Small Step

When a 7 min short film makes you feel many more things than a 2 hours film

A father's love and a little girls determination.

most dads give his daughter the world this one gave his daughter the universe

I'm not crying... YOU'RE crying!

*sees all the awards in the thumbnail* Me: *whispers* you deserve it ~

The lighting, toon shading and animation really made this 3d animated short feel very 2D. Excellent job. This is definitely very inspirational for my own animated short film that also has a theme of space travel.

I just found out I failed 3 classes this semester...It ruined me. My plan to become an engineer within 5 years just started to fall apart. After staying up most of the night and doing nothing the day after, just feeling horrible and sorry for for myself, I remembered this video. This animation. Took me a while to find it but when I finally found it...man...did it help. I may have fallen, but I’m gonna he get back up and work even harder! I’ll get that degree and become an engineer some day. Just wait and see.

her dad passed before he can see her became astronaut :"( this made me thankful that my father passed earlier this year after I finished animation school and became 3D artist. he was an artist too but the economy pushed him to work in a desk job office and had no time to do art

I'm not fcking crying

This deserves to be nominated for "Best Animated Short" at the Oscars.

At 5:47 and 6:05 you see traditional Chinese new year decorations. The new year symbolizes a new beginning. Ahh I love the little details in this film so much!

Thank you. My dream is being a doctor. It always was. But I just can't get into medical school and I just give up this year. This video its making me feel like I SHOULD TRY AGAIN. THANK YOU.

god i cried the entire time this is so beautiful i cant even fathom

I am Still crying What a Movie.. Better then Any Disney Movie ..Even a Heartless person Like me is Crying <3 Great Work....

Most fathers want to give their daughters the world. This father gave his daughter the universe.

6:41 This scene hit me HARD. SPOILERS When she took her 1st step on the moon and then it cuts to her jumping on the bed almost got me. I think this is the 1st animation short film that had me feeling this way

This short film is so AMAZING! The story and music are impressive and I think it’s as good as Pixar’s short! I just started learning animation making and I hope one day I will make a short film like this one!

I showed this to a couple of my students while teaching a lesson on empathy. The students were able to identify their emotions while watching and connect with some of the problems the character faced. We talked about how problems come in all sizes and we can show empathy to support one another to encourage them to never give up. Great lesson!
