This is brilliant, a story of a girl who wishes to be of the outside world but can't due to circumstance. A masterpiece illustrating the benefit of sacrifice and the belief that we cannot have our cake and eat it too
A bright set of coloring and a gentle tone that sets the way for a pretty much happy ending that leaves us with a fondness for the character
We feel for her and hope that she will one day see those balloons without ever having to spin again.
All in all it was a good piece and beautiful message

Beautiful! +fav

Super amazing wonderful!!!! You did a wonderful job!!!

Stunning.

This is so amazing! I can't believe you did this whole thing yourself!

I know 3D animation is a total pain in the butt but you did fantastic! Awesome job!

Great video Hug

simplely lovely and adorable, and saddening too

whew sweet

She is the binding of the world, the very structure of time and space, without her full effort and work, the world suffers, and even while the world is frozen and suffering, she must suffer, as she doesn't get to experience what everyone else does. I'd say if there's a story within this story, it's that there is always that single person, doing everything they can, making them self miserable, just so other people can have a thoroughly enjoyable time. Maybe she represents a mother, giving up her life for her children. I don't know, but this is truly amazingly animated, the textures are beautiful, the shading and lighting are extravagant, but mainly the models and animations flow did it for me, it is so smooth, and so realistic, like a 120 frame per second stop motion claymation movie.

10/10
