Bravo!!! This is so beautiful yet so true, very well done.

Now this was amazing!!!!!!!!!
Gotta love those beautiful messages.
Though how did I already guess Miyazaki was one of your inspirations?

Pretty good animation with an awesome message :)

believing is the key and i think it's better if someone believes in you too, and i do, and not just me, looking at the comments below, i think those kids encouraged you in expressing your talent and that is great . The story telling is good, it would have been better with some few adjustments, but it's understandable, you did this all by yourself from what i've seen,most of the voices were done by you, anyway, when they make animation there is more people in the proccess, so it's pretty great actually, at least for me, it was like i was watching a scene from an anime, by the way, i can't believe a little girl would ever say "do i really need education?",that girl just knows what she wants! did this really happened? by the way, there is so much you can improve, If the animation would have been more complex and more "animu" it would have done the trick, like i was watching for the first time an anime about a girl who wants her dreams to become reality.

This touched me in such a deep way. I gave up on my art during high school because my dad told me that I wouldn't go anywhere. I have been trying to pick it back up, but sometimes I still hear it in my head. "Dreams are just that, dreams. Wake up." This is such an inspiring short film; the animation is fluid, the voices were well recorded, and the story was amazing. You didn't have a lot of details but that comes with practice, the important part is that you got the point across. Well done!
