Father And Daughter - Screen capture From The Video Below

As an artist and sometimes animator, I feel the animation's accolades are certainly well deserved.
  • While the animation utilizes simple, stylized characters and backgrounds — it's narrative unfolds in a deeply engaging way — and is very relatable and beautifully moving.
  • The music adds a lovely nostalgic touch as well — amplifying the film's over-all emotional impact.

A word of caution, especially if you have lost a loved one and are still having difficulty processing that — though it ends on an uplifting note, Father and Daughter will really pull on your heart-strings — and many comments under the video on YouTube reveal that it left people in tears.


With that disclaimer out of the way — I hope you'll enjoy this one too.

God Bless and Comfort you if you're missing someone today!



Thanks for stopping by.

See you again soon.......
